Incorrect info held on HO file and linked appln details

[JulieM71]

Hi

We are awaiting a decision on my partner's fiance visa submitted end of June. He has an adverse immigration history (briefly, arrived illegally, married his British fiance, applied as a spouse, refused, spent 4 years fighting, removed following breakdown of the marriage).

We have today confirmed that there is factually incorrect info recorded on his file re a subsequent visit visa refusal notice (the refusal was correct, it was the chain of events and dates that they got completely wrong). Not only this, but the refusal letter on their file is different from the one we received and that has further incorrect details.

Our lawyer wants to write to the embassy concerned and ask them to note the incorrect details and get the immigration history correct.

Further to this, there is a linked application detail record which we think is incorrect. It says he made more than one application in the few months following his removal from the Uk when he is adamant he only made one. Names / DOB are not the same (although there is an English / Arabic translation issue generally re names) but there are no papers relating to these applns on file. The status reads "Refused with right of appeal", which would make sense for a spouse appln and "nothing happened" on the other. It's all very confusing but our lawyer is concerned they could say he tried to deceive by concealing previous applns and we will have to make a fresh appln.

Again, the lawyer wants to write and point out that the applns were not included on the current appln not due to deception, but an oversight / error and because at that time he was in a very difficult place, has a poor recollection of that time etc. My fiance remains certain he only applied once.

I'm worried about all of this and how it will be viewed re pointing out their mistakes and, although I do trust our advisor, would like to know if anyone has any thoughts/ experience or know anything about the linked appln details held in the HO records?

Thank you.
