Nobody here can really help you. Have you submitted a budget showing how you can manage on your income and how you can support your husband and child?

[Heer25]

Yes , i did and each month i am still saving up from my salary at least 5-7k saving per month with that salary

Yes , i did and each month i am still saving up from my salary at least 5-7k saving per month with that salary

So you are living on 7 to 9k per month? Impressive

So you have shown them you have decent savings and can live on that income.

I don't think there is anything else you can do apart from continue to provide them all they want

[Heer25]

no , before i had only 10k savings but no its around 50k and still adding up each month , i know its still very less but at least we are living on that income , 5.5k is house rent and other monthly expenses around 2.5k per month rest is saving

I don't think aside from answering immigration's questions satisfactorily, you will have many other options. If you have rich relatives who will be willing to support, you can even try getting letters from them. At the outset, it does seem that your salary could perhaps be too low to successfully convince immigration unless you can show substantial assets/savings. Dependents in HK are allowed to work. Perhaps you can also try to demonstrate that if your husband is granted a dependant visa, he will also be able to support the family. The fact that your husband has refugee status and is trying to convert to dependant status will not be looked upon favourably either.

It is about how you present your case. You have already seen that they didn't outright reject your application. So you need to think carefully about how strongly you can make your case look.

@shree711 In june when we submit our bank statements and all that we asked the case officer : within how long can we know the result ? He said : November . But its already November end today and on 1st November he asked us to resubmit the bank statements and all that again so we did on around 14-15 nov so now again waiting
