Goodday.. it's past 15working days and no word from TLS for my passport/visa if granted.. should I have any cause for alarm. Is there anything to do or I should just wait. I paid for courier as I do not live where I submitted my documents.

Dear All,

Should I kiss UK goodbye?

I was denied a student visa in 2006. The guy that helped me to process my visa told me to increase my age when I wanted to acquire my first international passport. In spite of this, I was still denied the visa..."every unrighteousness is a sin". I have never blamed this guy, and will never blame him. I will take all the blames.
I have not applied to the UK embassy for any visa since then. My friend that did same got banned for 10 years. He denied ever applied to the embassy for visa not knowing that they kept his details in their system. As at that time, there was nothing like biometrics.
I have gotten two different passports after that time with my correct age and I have 4 used and 1 unused visas from other countries. I have been invited to the UK several times, but the fear of being banned won't let me apply.
Now, I want to apply for a visiting visa, and I want to write a statement that I was denied a student visa in 2006 with an incorrect age (the passport is long missing).
Would I still be banned for 10 years?
Should I just forget about visiting UK?
What is the appropriate thing to do?

Your previous application data and passport data are kept with UKVI forever! You have two hurdles to overcome. One your misrepresentation of your age and two your previous passport containing the refusal stamp.

If you used the old application form, you may not disclosed your refusal of 2006 as it is over 12 years in 2018. If you used the new application form you are required to disclosed any previous refusals, no time limit.

You are also required to provide information on all passport previously held, ie the passport number, date of issue and expiration. So if you provide false information like the passport is missing or you do not have any previous passport will be equated to non disclosure of material evidences or lying. The UKVI only need to do a name search and your previous passport data will pop up on the system.

So I will advise that you bring all your cards to the table and disclose to ECO that you where refused in 2006 in a cover letter. It is left for the ECO to evaluate your honesty vis a vis your new purpose for a visa into the UK.

Good afternoon all. My name is ADEYEMI OLABODE, I have been to the UK before but I recently applied for a work visa which was refused. In my previous application I do write my wife's name as AKINYEMI DEBORAH. AKINYEMI is her maiden name and because that is the name on her current passport and the passport was issued before we got married. Though she has never applied to go to UK before. My question is this: We are expecting a baby by end of July and our baby's birth certificate will show my wife's name as ADEYEMI DEBORAH and NOT AKINYEMI DEBORAH which is the name I have beem writting on my application as spouse name. I am planning to apply to visit the UK for 2 weeks alone im October and I will like to submit our child's birth certificate with my application. Won't it cause am issue for the ECO to see my wife's name as ADEYEMI DEBORAH as against AKINYEMI DEBORAH I have been writing before? I have a change of name document for her which was done through Nigerian Tribune in 2016 but I didn't submit it in my previous application. Should I go and do another change of name for her before the delivery of our baby? Please I need your responses. Thanks. PLEASE NOTE HER CURRENT PASSPORT WILL EXPIRE IN FEBRUARY 2019

Pls Treat as Urgent
Mods! Mods!! Mods!!!
I want to say thanks to the mods of this section, and everyother persons that have been proferring solutions to various problems posted here.

Pls, I submitted my Standard Visitor's visa on the 12th of June, 2018, and no the Decision box on my TLS page hasnt yet been ticked, neither have l recieved any email. Is there anybody who has experienced such long delays before and what can l do to speed things up?
Is there a need to worry about anything, prolly missing documents?
Pls pardon my questions, l am just a lil bit distraught right now.

Thanks

Hello everyone. I wrote here the other time that I am going for my masters program in at New York film Academy in america by september which I already have my visa for that but I just want to use it as an avenue to visit London film school which I was advised to get an invitation letter from London film school. I contacted London film school but they said they will be on break by that time unless I want to come in October but I will be in America studying by that time.
I now contacted my friend which he contacted his uncle in uk and he gave me his British passport data page and invitation letter. Do you think I should use the persons documents or I should just use hotel reservation or I should forget it? Thank you bosssssss

Hello house,

I am filling the application form on behalf of my mum who is a housewife/homemaker.

Please what is the right selection to choose from this screenshot?

Is it Employed (and then select housewife?) or Self Employed (and then give occupation as housewife/homemaker)

Justwise, Ekpotek and everyone else, kindly help.

PPlease Gúrus in the house help a sister out, i need your urgent response as regards this issue.

When requesting for emergency papers to travel out of UK at the Nigerian High commission London, do they normally request for the Bio Data of your Next of Kin?
I suspect my sister is being used, her God mother whom i suspect is living in the UK illegally suddenly requested for her Bio data, and when i sort to know the lady (God mother) said she only used her details for next of kin.

I wrote the below message to her

(Sister, I intended to travel to the UK by September/ October this year. I should have told you earlier. But I wanted to take you by surprise, that was why, I didn't bother to inform you.
In case you are using my name for something else , please make sure it dose not affect me at the airport or any jurisdiction within the UK. It shouldn't be in anyway be on the system of immigration, or police because I haven't being the UK yet. Thanks in anticipation of your cooperation.)

Her responses
(Well about the info u have today, I only used in a form with Nigerian High commission London as my sister in Nigeria, not with UK govt. The Doc to travel which they gave me does not mention any of your details including name. The form was also submitted in hard copy and not online.
It's like a "mini passport" of limited value.
On that basis there4, u should be death with in your individual capacity based on evidence which u provide.)

Any truth here. Pls i need elightment,

agbedex:

Thanks for your response. Do you also agree that after stating that I was denied a visa in 2006, I should also state the incorrect age on the passport that I got the denial stamp? I can't remember the passport number.

justwise:


I can't find any info to support the request for data page of a relative in Nigeria regarding ETC application but i don't think your sister should worry about that but should keep details of all the conversations between her and the GOD mother just in case things get messy in future

buddiemm:


1) Her name before marriage is AKINYEMI DEBORAH and its the name on her current passport which I habe been writing on my application as spouse name.

2) My surname is ADEYEMI. My own name is ADEYEMI OLABODE

Forget it because i don't know why your friend's uncle should be sending you such sensitive document even though you don't know each other.

Thanks justwise. If I am using hotel reservation, will I have to pay for the hotel or just the reservation? Please answer meeeee.

buddiemm:


The name on marriage certificate shows my name as ADEYEMI OLABODE While her name was written as AKINYEMI DEBORAH. But now that we are married her name supposed to be ADEYEMI DEBORAH. Her current passport was issued before we got married and it shows her name as AKINYEMI DEBORAH
