UK Visa Woes

REFUSAL OF ENTRY CLEARANCE

I am mindful of the importance of family visits in maintaining family ties .I have therefore given your application careful consideration. You wish to visit your cousin & his family in the united kingdom. However I am not satisfied on the balance of probabilities ,that you meet the requirements of paragraph 41 of immigration rules. In particular that
You are genuinely seeking entry to the united kingdom for a limited period not exceeding 6 months
That you intend to leave the united kingdom at the end of your proposed visit
But
You state that you are going to see your son for two months .Your daughter in law has recently had an operation and you stated that you would be looking after their children. you initially stated that you had not seen your son since the funeral of your late husband 11 months ago but later stated that that he visited you in the UAE in November. You moved to the UAE to be with your younger son after the death of your husband. Your younger son financially supports you here. He yearns AED 7000 (Pounds 1000 @ r .o.e of AEd 7= 1pound)a month & is also financially responsible for his wife & 3 children. Your Son in UK regularly receives payment into his account exceeding 3000Pounds & his wife also works part time.
Given your current circumstances I am not satisfied that you intend to leave the UK at the end of your visit.
In reaching this decision to refuse your application, I have given careful consideration to your rights under article 8 of the European convention on human rights. I am satisfied that there has been no breach of that article/those articles for the reasons stated above.

I therefore refuse your application
If you wish to comment on the reasons for refusal, I shall record your response below.

Dear Sir/Madam,

I had applied for a visa to visit my son and his family in the UK on 2nd May 2005. The visa application was rejected on certain grounds that I feel are not quite justified.
I would like to draw your attention to some of the reasons that have been given as the basis for the refusal of my application.
I am going to visit my Son as I said & not cousin as you have wrongly stated in the refusal letter.
I currently live in Abu Dhabi with 3 of my children with my oldest son living in the UK. I have been here since the passing away of my husband last year and all my 4 children support me. I also receive my own pension in addition to family pension subsequent to my retiring from Government service as a school teacher. Hence, I would like to emphasize that the assumption that only one of my children supports me is incorrect.
I am also attaching a letter from my son in the UK stating certain facts that may highlight the need to reconsider your decision.


Thanking you,

Yours Sincerely,
