i have a friend who is applying for a tier 4 visa, she was refused at first on the grounds that her official sponsor did not qualify under the definition of official sponsor (a company with offices in 2 or more countries ) which was not the case as the company sponsoring her as an office in the US and another in Nigeria, the ECO neither called the company none read the sponsorship letter which included the two address
she then applied for an admin review
She was refused the second time, this time on the basis that her official sponsor did not state how much they were giving towards her sponsorship, the ECO quoted paragraph 13D section (5) which states
"The amount of money the official financial sponsor is giving to the applicant OR a statement that the official financial sponsor will cover all the applicants fees and living cost".
my understanding of that statement is it can be one or the other and not the two unless the definition for the word OR has changed, Her sponsorship letter included the statement by the company stating they would be footing all her bills
Am confused how the ECO can look at one section of the statement and overlook the other, she has been given the right to an admin review but i am confused as to why the ECO can cherry pick which rules they want to follow and disregard the same rules they have in place,
i am asking to know if there is anything i should include in the second admin review, so she don't keep having the same end product (refusal )
or is this just a case of no matter what you do they would just keep looking for a reason to refuse you
