Hi all,

Thanks for contributing to a v useful page. I have a prob, and I can't find anyone else in this position in the forums.

I'm a brit, my fiance is South African. We've just applied for the settlement (fiance) visa but have been rejected. Not because of my financial standing but because of hers. They said that she had insufficient funds, and would be stuck in the UK if we were to split up.

I haven't had chance to see the wording of the letter, but that's the gist. What would you advise us to do? Should I start sending her money every month, so she can build up a bit?

Thanks in advance,
P

 

bump!

Can anyone help? I'm sure there are people reading that have brought fiance's over from countries poorer than the UK. Surely they were in a similar position? Is it just a case of wiring my fiance some funds? Perhaps the price of a return ticket??

Any advice would be hugely appreciated.

Thanks for any help.
