[ ]Respected Sir/Madam
1. I applied UK visit visa for six months but my visa is refused by visa officer.I mentioned in
my visa application that I will spend 500 BHD on my trip but I explain you that these
expenses are only for sightseeing and food.My airline tickets and accommodation is not
included in my mentioned 500BHD because I know airline ticket is around 350 BHD and hotel
booking for seven days is around 150 BHD. So which I mentioned 500 BHD there is not
included my airline tickets and hotels. When I will get visa that day I will decide for airline
ticket and for accommodation because every day airline tickets and hotel prices not remain
same that's why I did not mention my airline tickets and hotel expenses in my visa
application. I think that's why visa officer was not satisfied. So please reconsider my visa
application.
2. I am married and I have three children and wife. I mentioned in my visa application that my
family is not going with me because my children goes to school. I am employee in Ministry
Of Interior Bahrain since 01-03-2010 and my monthly salary is 811 BHD. So I have strong ties
with my home country which visa officer also appreciated as(Whilst I accept that this is a
positive indicator of the family ties you hold to your home country). I attached my bank
account statement and salary slip and my closing balance is 3000 BHD in my bank account
statement and in my cover letter I also explained my monthly income and monthly expenses
and I assured visa officer that after completing my visit to UK I will return back to my home
country where I will join my family and my job. The visa officer also appreciated that this is a
positive indicator but at the end visa officer says that I am not satisfied that you intend to
depart the UK. So I explained everything that I am a genuine visitor and after completing my
visit to UK I must come back to Bahrain where I will join family and job. So please reconsider
my application.
3. I attached all required documents with my visa application. If visa officer required any
additional documents I am ready to provide him. Visa Officer also mentioned in refusal letter
( that you meet the requirement of the Immigration rules based on overall personal
circumstances and that you will comply with all the conditions associated with any visa). So
this is not justice with me. So please reconsider my visa application I am thankful to you.
