My UK standard visit visa application was refused for lack of intention to leave the country
I applied for a UK standard visit visa to the UK. I have lived legally in the UK for about 6 years while studying. I applied to extend my stay but was refused, so I appealed under article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights, which failed. I returned to Pakistan voluntarily.
Now, after 3 years in Pakistan, I applied for a visa, but it was refused on the grounds that I would not leave the UK and that my circumstances in Pakistan are not strong enough for me to want to return.
During my earlier visa extension request appeal, the judge had stated that I have strong ties with Pakistan and I should return to my country. That is contradictory; the judge said I had strong ties but, today, the Entry Clearance Officer said that my situation is not strong, despite bank statement, family agricultural land, and my savings and accounts. What should I do?
Best Answer
In the past you've applied to extend your stay in the UK, to the extent that you invoked a court case under article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights. This has marked you as someone very keen to stay in the UK, and thus at a high risk of going underground if you're allowed to visit again. I'd be very surprised if you can get a visa in the next few years.
What you should do is clear: consult a lawyer with expertise in UK immigration.
This may seem an abrupt answer but your case is far too complex for strangers on the internet to be able to contribute meaningfully.
Good luck!
