Hi admin/all,
I need your response ASAP, my husband applied for visitors visa on behalf our family ie with our 2 kids, our application was rejected on the following basis
1. Husband, a. Family ties in Canada and country of residence, hubby is from a large family, although his father is deceased, he listed his family info during our online application, he doesn’t have family in Canada,
B. Purpose of visit: we stated categorically that we intend to spend the next Easter holiday(2018) with our kids in Canada, hotel reservations and airline reservations were attached, our very close family friends also sent us invitation letters with their PR card info, they confirmed that we were welcome to stay with them during visit.
C. Current Employment situation: my husband runs his own company and he is doing pretty well, company registration docs and government tax papers were also included. He would require little or no financial support from me for our vacation.
Reasons for my refusal:
A.Family ties in Canada/country of residence. Both my parents are deceased, they passed about 1 1\2 year apart, they had both been married to separate partners before they met each other, they were also separated long before they passed on, my mother had a daughter in her previous marriage, this daughter happens to be the closest family I have, apart from our last names, you wouldn’t be able to tell that we are half sisters, however my father had numerous other children, who I practically know nothing about, I am not sure where they are, their last names or what they do for a living, when we completed the online application, I put in only my half sister’s name, bear in mind I have numerous maternal family members that are very close to me.
B. Purpose of visi: already covered in Hubby’sresponse.
Also note that, we have been to the UK a number of times, we returned from a holiday in the US in August, we included all our itinerary across the US.
I would like to know the following,
1. How soon can we reapply(we were refused lastweek)
2. Am I expected to list family members that I knownothing about, though I won’t be surprised if some of my siblings reside in Canada,
3. Do we have to go back for Biometrics collection( we had our bio taken mid November)
4. We were given room to reapply, do we need to pay for Biometrics?
5. What other documents does my husband need tosubmit to prove he owns his business?
6. Friends advised that we do a paper application next time as against the online application , is this true? Does this mean better chances?
7. Can we use a postal service to send our application to a VAC?
Looking forward to your response, thank you in advance.
