Refused (spouse) visa UK?
Answer:
UK Immigration list the following as criteria for a "marriage visa". If you don't meet all of the below, I would not advise simply re--applying.
Check also that you have the valid marriage certificate from the country in which you married not just a religious certificate, and make sure it's endorsed by the foreign office of the country in which the marriage took place
- If you have been together for less than four years you are granted a marriage visa for a probationary period of two years. If you are still married and living together at the end of two years in the UK permanent residence (properly known as indefinite leave to remain) will usually be granted.
- If you have been together for four years or more outside the UK you will be granted indefinite leave to remain (permanent residence) in the UK without having to live in the UK for two years.
- The UK citizen or permanent resident must have actually met their non-UK spouse. This is to prevent a situation that occurs sometimes in arranged marriages where the husband and wife have never met.
- You must intend to live together permanently with your spouse.
- You must possess sufficient funds to pay you and your spouse's living expenses and those of any dependants without claiming public funds. Public funds cover various benefits paid by the Government if you are currently looking for work, if you are on a low income and if you are in various other situations.
- Accommodation for the couple, and any dependants, must be suitable and available.
- Spouses seeking to come to the UK on the basis of marriage to a UK national should apply for entry clearance before entering the UK.
- If you have a visa valid for six months or less in the UK you cannot change status to a spouse visa.
- Children of the marriage who are under 18 years old are allowed entry to the UK as dependants, and can make their application at the same time as the main applicant.
- After a total period of three years in the UK if you meet the residence requirements you may then apply for UK citizenship.
Hope this helps
You need to get your marriage License through the NSO and that will prove you have a legal marriage, you can order it on-line and it will be sent to you. https://www.ecensus.com.ph/secure/frmind...
I won't repeat what the others said since they said it so well. But I will add that the photos were most likely refused because they were poor quality (digital cameras now or poor paper tends to create those issues). If they were poor quality to begin with and then the pictures are enhanced (which they usually do to put them on passports) they can see problems showing up. Take them to a reputable photo shop and tell them to do the photos.
