Wife’s Visa refused, (Our fight continues!)

 

Okay readers! Whatever you have at hand to throw against the wall and smash, get it ready!!

 

February 18th, (morning telephone call to my mother)

My poor mum had to relay the message to me that “Lek” (my wife) appeal for a settlement visa was refused. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing, I am not one for getting my hopes up, (quite the opposite), pessimistic shit yes! Who wouldn’t be after what I’ve been through?

Saying that though, this time I was so so confident “Lek’s” appeal would be successful.

So much for the best start to the New Year I spoke of in January’s news letter and that faint glimmer of light at the end of that tunnel, just went out, and the tunnel got longer.

We are all devastated and sad beyond belief, I don’t really want to dwell on how we all feel readers, what good does it do anyway?

But!! Let me say this: I am seriously beginning to wonder what has happened to England, the country I once loved so much. I was once as patriotic as they come.

What I am seeing and experiencing now, is not the England I once knew and loved.

You are all too well aware of the immigration problems England has right now.

Many of England’s new wave of immigrants wouldn’t even argue that the wife of a UK citizen and the mother of a UK citizen has more right than many of them to be allowed to settle in England.

It was another 6 days later from getting this news, before I could make the call to Lek.

6 days and nights I rehearsed how I could make light of this devastating news.

Lek BLESS HER!! Took it all in her stride, as I told her not to worry, we will appeal again, I told her.

I am limited to one or two calls a month to Lek, so each time I do my five minute call, I hear the excited and the expectant voice of Lek, she can barely contain her anticipation:

“When I come England daring?”

“I have visa now?” (she asks every time!!)

It destroys me every time, having to make excuses to Lek, making light of the terrible situation that’s eating me up. Very often time’s too short to speak to our son “Oak” and I only hear his voice in the background.

Not too worry readers!! We fight on with another appeal for Lek.

March 17th is our next deadline to appeal by.

I don’t want to give anything away in the details of the refusal grounds and our new grounds and arguments here on the site. I know for a fact, various UK Government departments regular read my news letters.

This now certainly feels like a conspiracy against me and my family and if our next appeal for “Lek’s” settlement visa is not successful.

Well maybe I will cooperate with various Journalist’s who’ve already asked for a story. This aint a threat, I am just tired of it all, and what options do I have left?

 

This will be our 3rd appeal after our original application was refused. 3rd time lucky?
