EEA family permit visa refusal: appeal or reapply?
My application was refused based on only one reason, insufficient proof of financial dependency. My sponsor, who is my father-in-law, sent me money from July 2017 to February 2018 using a local money transfer service. He switched to WorldRemit in March 2018 on the advice of a lawyer that bank transfer was better. This he did until September 2018.
Now, they based their decision on transfers between February to July 2018, despite submitting my account statements that show receipt of funds from March to September 2018.
They said I didn't include receipts of upkeep and rent. I have them but that's only thing I didn't add.
I have a right to appeal. Do I have a strong case for appeal? Should I reapply? We are confused.
Best Answer
The appeal will not consider new evidence. To have your case considered in light of additional evidence, you must submit a fresh application.
Therefore, you should probably appeal only if your previous application was refused wrongly given the evidence you submitted with it, that is, if there was some error on the part of the Home Office. Your omission of evidence is not an error on the part of the Home Office.
