also in the decision :

In reaching this decision to refuse your application , I have given careful consideration right to family and private life under ARTICLE 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights. However ,I am satisfied that any perceived interference with your right to family life under article 8 is proportionate to the aim of maintaining an effective immigration control and does not therefore breach your Convention Rights. In addition , I am not satisfied that there are any insumrmountable obstacles to your family member travelling to your country to enjoy your life with you there .

no

Sorry to hear of your refusal rhaichard.

The problem is, you're dealing with government officials who are working to strict rules, then just ticking boxes.

They are evidently looking for a 'guaranteed' minimum income level.

Your partner simply needs to be able to show...on paper, a minimum basic salary of £18,600 per year.

I think that would have been clear to most people.

Personally I would have contacted the UKBA for clarification before submitting papers, and I would urge anyone else to do that too, if in any doubt.

i will ask my hubby to do that for me hahaha

that will be standard on all refusals, pitty we dont have the same rights as Europeans in our own country where they have a virtual legal right to bring their partner here.

the more people who complain the more chance of change, you really need to contact your MP they can make things happen as well as complaining to the embassy.

[rhaichard]

terpe ,

may i know what is the website tells about the overtime ??

thnx ...

It reminds me of the time when I applied for a mortgage, years back. As half my salary was in bonuses I had to get a letter from my employer to state that my gross income was a combination of basic salary and bonus payments. Most of the offshore oil industry works on a system of base pay and bonuses. Different situation, I know, but there are similarities. Needless to say I and many others did get the mortgage based on the gross figure and not just on basic pay.

I agree with you! In my case, we did contact the Ambassador too to let him know what is happening here in Manila. Like my fiancee said, we need to make noise for them to notice our concerns.

this is who the gov ministers fear as well as everyone else..

we want a review for our application ... i cant accept the ECO decision . i read about the new rules and our financial requirement is should be qualify

[chieldave]

it says here in the e.mail i got from the embassy in section 5.4.1 that overtime,commission-based pay and bonuses will be counted as earnings from salaried employment

[rhaichard]

thats what we thought also thats why their decision is not acceptable

[grahamw48]

Hmm, that's interesting.

So, is that under the new rules ?

[chieldave]

yes its true....by the way this is dave my wifes husband basically i was so angry with the embassy changing the goalposts all the time after i tried to get things sorted for the required 3 months or more that i emailed them an angry letter of my concerns and they sent me back a pdf format consisting of 23 pages of new requirements.....i know my wife was not happy with me sending e.mail but thats how some of us english are

[bigmarco]

Very Very sorry to hear your bad news especially as it appears to be a wrong interpretation of the rules by the ECO.
I agree with Terpe that you should send a letter to the ECM requesting reconsideration but at the same time prepare your appeal as you have limited time.
Above all stay strong as you will get there in the end.

[jehzroblenida]

I agree with you!

[Mr Rhaichard]
