What was the outcome with your sister , did you notify the Home Office .
He cant go hiding if you do things properly, speak to a solicitor.
Thankyou Miss Sunshine and tallojani.

Can you give me any further advise how I can do things properly.
His elder brother stayed here illegally for many yrs until he met someone here and then went back to pak n returned with a spouse visa.
My main worry is when I notify the Home Office they will cancel his visa and give him a deadline to return to his country. Soon as he realises he has to leave he will dissappear. I have already heard him say it is easy to get asylum here, all you have to say is they will kill me if I go back... then get a good solicitor and they will make a good case for asylum here.
Although the immigration system is tougher these days there are also loopholes in the system which ppl like these take advantage of. Once HO tell you to leave this country you automatically get right of appeal and right to apply in a different category. . Thats the loophole these ppl take advantage of and make bogus asylum applications which run for years.

Miss Sunshine thank you so much for your words of support. I am 100% convinced this marriage cannot work. I just need to take the right steps to be able to get rid of him.

My application was rejected on the basis that I had not submitted wage slip within 28 days and my reasoning was similar to yours. They even acknowledged d wageslips afterwards and cheekily sent them back to me also but was not accepted

But I have read so many contradicting replies from Ecos that we can only pray for the best

Do not worry now- anything can happen
Hi fullahs,

Was your application submission after you already got the new payslip or you submitted the application before the new payslip was issued?

Thanks.

As much as we would like to help but unfortunately my knowledge on this is limited. My advise is you keep yourself safe, do what is best for you, don't worry about him claiming asylum or hiding. Leave him to his destiny he will get what he deserves, Allah swt is the most merciful of all.
May Allah swt make it easy for us all

I wholehartedly agree with tallojani and that you should do what is best for you. Maybe speak to a solicitor? I'm also not sure what your next steps should be. Only you can decided what/ who you want to involve. As tallojani says leave him to his life, don't worry about him going into hiding and let Allah swa do the rest...he will get exactly what he deserves. People like that always do! There is no hiding from Allah swa and He has a plan for you. Look out for yourself, be safe and stay strong. Much Love

Hi Baliwa

My application was rejected on the basis that I had not submitted wage slip within 28 days and my reasoning was similar to yours. They even acknowledged d wageslips afterwards and cheekily sent them back to me also but was not accepted

But I have read so many contradicting replies from Ecos that we can only pray for the best

Thanks fullahs,

I have to not yet submitted the payslips or any other documents to them after submission of my application. My issue is that my payslips and bank statements are over 28 days from the date of application. I submit online application on 02-Sept-14 and my wife went to submit the documents on 22-Sept-14 at Karachi centre. The payslips and bank statements was provided untill July-2014 as in August-14 I was in Pakistan. Just now I realised that it can lead to rejection as the documents are over 28 days from date of submission.


Is there any ways that I can send them August-14 payslips and Bank Statements before they make any decision? Please need advise in this regard.

Further fullah can you tell me did they ask you for the additional documents? How did they ask? Email or text message?

Thanks

Sorry to hear about refusal, but IF the mistake was from your side, then appeal will not help. Also if the payslip doesn't match to bank statement, there isn't any chance in winning the appeal so new application will suit you better.

Wait for other's suggestions as well.

If I am not wrong we recently saw an applicant who got rejected due to difference of 4 pence, so I know it is such a small amount and shouldn't be considered so bluntly. Having said that, their guidelines say payslip and bank-statement should match cent %.

Well, just keep your distance.
Maybe make a quarrel up and act it out... but make sure you don't let him feel that you're gonna get rid of him etc.

Then report him behind the scenes to the Home Office - and cite physical/emotional abuse and a sham marriage for UK visa. Also make them know his threats and that he says he will go into hiding.

Like Miss_Sunshine says.

My sisters case was lengthy - they had a baby girl involved. The pig is still here.

Because we're talking about payslips and pay cheques matching, last month I had 2 sick days off so my cheque obv did not match my payslip.. But I didnt fall below the requirement of 18600.. Would that still effect my case in future ?

Will a job change lead to refusal even if i ring up the embassy and inform them that I have changed jobs? would they refuse straight away or would they ask for documents to be sent?

Most likel lead to a refusal becuase all your evidence will be based on your previous job I.e. Employment letter and payslips. Changing jobs can also have impact on the category you apply. But if you applied in September then hopefully they have completed there employment checks. If you have not changed employment as of yet then if possible try sticking with the same employer until the visa application is processed
