I invited my a good friend to visit me and my family for the Christmas period. I have not seen him for a few years and was prepared to pay his air fare, accommodation and finances.
He sent his application form to the Embassy in Jamacia, they turned down his application based on the the fact that the information recieved from his empolyer was not the same as that he had presented on his form.
The mistake however was actually down to his employers.
When the Officer who was dealing with his claim telephoned his employers to enquire about the date he started work they stated the wrong date even though he had the correct date on the application. What they had failed to recognise was that there were two offices but both held different information on their records.
They called the office with the incorrect information and my friend was turned down on that basis.
The work letter also showed a wrong salary as he had presented on his form (he changed the salary on the work letter manually to show his true salary).
The refusal letter also stated that they did not believe that my friend would have returned to his country at the end of his visit.
The Officer stated in the letter, that his personal opinion was that there was nothing within the English law stopping me from visiting him in Jamacia.
My friend does not have a criminal record. He has worked all of his life, he has two children who depend on him.
I wanted him to have a 4 weeks holiday over the Christmas Season as it coincided with my holiday.
What the immigratition Officer failed to realise is that not all Jamacians want to come and stay in this Country.
He now has 28 days to appeal under two catergories, humanitarian or facial.
I am now going to try and get him to come for a holiday during the Easter
Holidays.
Any help/advice would be apprecitated.
