Hello,

Para 319c(d) of immigration rules says marraige must be subsisting at the time the dependent applies to get leave to enter UK.

My wife is the main applicant under tier2 and came to the uk in september 2012.

i am currently in india and was refused leave as dependent on basis immigration officer was not satisfied that our marraige was subsiting at the time of application.

As per chklist given in appl form all documents were submitted including marraige certificate.

what else do i need to show that marraige was subsisting at the time of application. I am now preparing to appeal this decision

Please Help!!

Thank you

Abhijit

Any tangible or physical evidence of your previous and present contact with each other.

If you are unsure after looking through this forum then you may want to get professional assistance on the appeal or a new application.  There is no 'checklist' so it is not a surprise that you were refused if you provided no evidence of contact.

Thank you both for the quick responses!

I have trawled through the forum and must admit that there is a tad too much information to digest. I am of course, still looking at related topics.

@Victoria- In your experience what sort of proof will the immigration officer normally accept towards subsistence of marraige. For example, if I get my wife to make a statutory declaration, will that help?

Thanks again for all the help.

Statutory declarations carry no more weight than a simple written statement.
