How to reapply after a UK visa refusal under Appendix V 4.3 (a), (b) and (c)?

Upvote:5

You were refused a UK Standard Visitor Visa and you have embedded your refusal notice (thanks for that by the way). The notice seems pretty straight-forward, they got you on 4.2 (a+b+c) and those paragraphs are laid out at Immigration Rules Appendix V.

My bf is a Bulgarian citizen, self-employed, and living and working in London since 2011.. and according to my bf they can come and go of UK, and I did research too and it says Bulgarian and Romanian can work freely in the UK since the restrictions have been lifted in January 1 2014..

Well, not exactly. Bulgarian nationals can exercise treaty rights in the UK and as a self-employed person they would expect to see evidence of that. He did not, apparently, provide satisfactory evidence. Is his insurance up-to-date? His taxes? Is he a self-sufficient person?

What are the documents that will satisfy them that my boyfriend is legally present during my visit and that he is willing to support my trip?

He should submit evidence that he is lawfully exercising treaty rights. For example his insurance, his taxes (VAT and self-assessment), his bank statements and the like.

He should also provide some evidence that he intends upon maintaining a relationship with you (and you with him). Some evidence, for example, that you are in an ongoing relationship and have a history of meeting each other personally.
