FFS That's bloody WRONG :mad: I'm angry at this news Sergei.

What reason did the home office give for refusal, mate?

They don't think my mum have enough money to spend during 10 days in the UK. They ignored my invitation letter where I explained that they will stay at my flat, my pay sleeps, my fathers bank account statement...
They ignored even return flight tickets, saying they are unsure if she have enough money to leave the UK.

Denied even a right to a visit. Unbelievable :(

Only thing I can suggest is to get in touch with Steve Rotherham MP, explain the situation & see if he can help.

Good luck mate. Hope things work out. ;)

Im gutted for you mate, as I know everything that you've been doing since you've been in the UK, was so that your family could join you.

Is there no way you could appeal ?

Surely your own exemplary work record and the fact that you genuinely can't go back home due to the persecution or worse that you would face, has to count for something ?.

I don't know what to say...
But my mom and my son's visit me on Christmas is cancelled now. They refused to had a UK visa. Just got the answer.
Can't believe...
P.S. This terrible news came just a few days after I been told my wife won't ever join me here.
That's like the end for me.

Gutted for you - you have been through so much already. Is there no appeals process? Good shout about contacting your MP . Maybe try and get some publicity/support from somewhere?

To be honest mate it's the political situation, I think sadly rather than any logical reason hence why do Russians get deported from places like Germany for minor offences yet Turks, Poles and other immigrant groups are allowed to stay. I know this because my friends father was deported to Russia and sadly that meant my friend never seeing him again because he died this year. I don't think they'd be asking you these questions if your family were visiting from Bangladesh say. But sadly that's politics as messed up as it is. It's ridiculous that a Syrian who has lived in Serbia from 14 years can gain permanent residency in Germany yet someone from Bosnia, Croatia, Serbia, Kosovo or Albania risks getting deported from Germany from the slightest issue. That's disrespect to Turks, Poles or Syrians just the lunacy of the EU visa system.

My heart goes out to you mate. It's like losing a member of the family or a mate. I still miss mine, even though it's been two years since she went and we recently got a new pup. Sometimes a dog comes along that's just special. People who've never had a dog won't understand that, but I'm sure you know want I mean x

Mate, I had to make the call on my Labrador, Guiness, a year or so ago. Last thing he saw and smelt was me, and it was an honour in hindsight as he fell to sleep with me there. Was horrid, but now, I know it was the best thing for him, and I now feel sort of proud that I had the stones to do it.

Do you advise getting a new pal asap or taking time to grieve in such a time? Or is it an individual decision?

I know Matty well and I have no doubt his mate is looking down now knowing he had a great life with a great owner and friend . He is pain free but sadly Matty will now be the one burdened with the pain and sadness of losing his best mate .
Be proud Matty you are a good fella

Individual decision. We havnt had a dog since Guinness, but thats cos our work routines wouldnt be fair to him/her. And Mrs R is a very, very perceptive women when it comes to animals.

"A dog will come to us Roydo, dont fret" she said. (Yeah she does call me that)

The Christmas after Guinness was pts, my Mum bought Mrs R a little bronze figurine of 2 cats like grooming each other. 3 months later we were asked by Mrs R's Dad, (Farmer), to "take these this kitten off my hands", knowing full well she would do.

"This kitten" ended up being two little ones, who we were told were two girls. They wernt, two lads, who groom eash other, a'la the figurine we were given a few moths before.

Life sometimes comes to you.
