Can someone please advise me. My wife submitted her application on 8th July as our first case was rejected due to insufficient proof of accommodation as I only provided tenancy agreement. This time we submitted tenancy agreement along with gas bill and accommodation survey report. I live in a shared house and renting a double room. I haven't provided counsel letter. Will this cause a problem again. I meet all the other requirements. Please some one advise? Thanks

As salaamu Alaykum,
Hope your all well and we all hear some good news soon InShaAllah.
I applied on the 11 march 2014 for a spouse visa. The application was escalated on the 1st sep 2014 and now escalated again on the 23 oct 2014.
Every time i ask for any information i get an auto reply sayingits escalated and is being looked into, can someone advise me what my next step should be?

Them saying ESCALATION is random bull.

It doesn't mean anything most of the time. Standard script to waste more time.

Mines been "escalated" twice in 7 months, lol, and still absolutely nothing.

Wage slips DO NOT have to be £xxxx per month (unless you are paid monthly)

Please stop spreading misinformation.

The 26 weeks is added together, / 6 x 12.

nuralayn I applied one day after you, and been getting the same replies. Can't do anything except complain :(
Marriage 06/2011 | Visit Visa 08/2012 | Back to UK 01/2013

Forwarded BHC 24/03
Escalated 1st 13/08, 2nd 10/10, 3rd 05/11
