"This is an email to confirm that your UK visa application has been processed and will now be returned to the Visa Application Centre for collection.

You will be contacted when your passport and documents are ready for collection. Please do not go to the Visa Application Centre before you have been advised to do so and you are also reminded to avoid making travel plans until you have collected your passport."

Bear in mind that this is standard notification that the application has been processed. You won't know until you collect the passport and documents whether the visa has been granted.

wife hasnt even picked up the passport.

"As your recent UK Visa application was refused a full IHS fee refund of £600 has been made to you today. Should you choose to appeal against the refusal decision, and the decision is overturned, you will need to make a new IHS payment."

Can you list all the documents which were submitted, maybe we can determine what might have been the reason.

Thats odd
I thought they normally do give you reasons for refusal?
docs missing, docs not legitimate, OR unhappy with marriage docs OR relationship proof?

Then you should have waited until you had 6 months worth of payslips and statements for your two jobs instead of mixing new jobs with ex job. (just my personal opinion, may not even be the reason).

BUT, we don't know what the true reason is until you get a copy of the refusal letter next week.
