UK applicants from Bathinda
Bathinda applicants are farming families from the Malwa cotton belt and the thermal plant and refinery workforce. Visitor files for weddings in the UK are the biggest volume, and the recurring refusal is Appendix V 4.2: the officer does not accept that a family with the sponsor's siblings all settled abroad will return, unless land records, J-form sale receipts and the kisan credit card statement show the holding and its income. Student applicants from Bathinda often hold education loans sanctioned by cooperative or regional rural banks, which UKVI verifies slowly; the sanction letter must name the course, the institution and the disbursement schedule.
