UKVI made a mistake on my entry clearance decision [closed]
The UKVI decision making centre in Istanbul made a mistake on my entry clearance, and my fiance and I ended up getting a refusal letter. At the back of the refusal letter, it's written that I don't have a right to appeal however I want to get in touch with them and ask them to reassess my application.
My Questions:
- How can I submit my reassess request? letter or email?
- Who should I address?
- How do you find my drafted letter that I am going to send to the authorities? (see the last letter)
- When communicating with the independent inspector, should I call these a mistake or a misinterpretation from UKVI?
Here is brief information about us:
- I am holding a temporary residence in Turkey rather than my home country since 2 years ago.
- I am working for a British Organisation since 3 years ago.
- In Feb 2018, my fiance and I applied to visit the UK for 9 days in March 2018.
- My residence permit is due to expire in August 2018 however due to local immigration policies I am not allowed to apply for the extension 60 days before the resident permit expires.
- My net income salary per annum is EUR 45600.
- I had previously been issued with a UK visa and we have been granted a Schengen visit visa in the past. together we travelled to 4 different countries in 2017.
UKVI DMC Istanbul mistakes:
- ECO tried to confirm my hotel booking, but later they found out it was cancelled. (the reason for the cancellation is explained in my letter. ) however, they strongly advise not to confirm the travel arrangements until we have received our visa. (it was printed on several papers in VAC and as shown in here http://www.vfsglobal.co.uk/uae/frequently_asked_questions.html)
- They didn't contact my employer to confirm my employment status and if they are willing to extend or not.
- ECO noted a factual error regarding my residence permit.
- ECO noted that my fiance is employed, but she is not.
- I have declared that I would fund all travel expenses for my fiancé, but they subjected that it will be at her costs and she can’t afford the trip.
UKVI refused us a visit visa with the following refusal letter:

What happens if you make a mistake on your visa application?
Mistakes on application form can be disastrous. If the mistake is interpreted by officials as an attempt to mislead or deceive, the application must be refused. If the application is for an entry clearance, it will also lead to a 10 year ban on re-entry.What happens if you make a mistake on your UK visa application?
If you want to change something in your application after you've sent it contact UK Visas and Immigration ( UKVI ). You can ask to cancel your application. Your fee will only be refunded if UKVI has not started processing your application.Can you edit your visa application after submission?
However, there's no need to panic, either. Although it's true that the State Department does not provide a way to go back and change an already submitted DS-160, you can go online to submit a new, corrected DS-160, print the new confirmation page, and bring that to your interview at the consulate or embassy.Can UK visa application be edited?
Yes, customers can edit the information on the application form, before they book their appointment and make their payment. Once an appointment is booked, no further changes can be made to their application.UKVI decision and Processing time All Frequently asked | #frequentlyaskedquestion
