tehn appeal it takes six month as ok.tel me wht was their rason for refusal

You can re-apply at any time.
The six month thing is just a myth.
However, there is no point in re-applying
unless you can address the reasons for the
first refusal to the satisfaction of the High Commission.

You can apply even on the day of your refusal, the "six months" regulation is under the Schengen treaty, it doesn't apply to the UK or Ireland they're not part of the Schengen states.
It's usually written in refusal letters that "the decision does/will not prejudice any future UK visa application that you make". It's your duty to rectify the error of which they refused you the former application.

A lot of people give us wrong advice. I applied for uk visa in july2007 and i was denied. First week i appealed and two weeks later i re-applied and i was granted the visa.

Re-application is faster, just concentrate on the ECO's reason for rejecting you and submit as many document as possible regarding the REASONS for the denial and attach a photocopy of all your appeal documents , including forms etc.This make the next ECO job lot easier.

This was what i did, despite the many advices i received against re-application.

Phatgirl please do re-apply. But this time, try to address the issues in your last application.

all the best!

@phatgirl
I guess u can apply immediately, but is always advisable to redraw your appeal when reapplying, and make sure you are applying 4 the same purpose. not tryin student visa today and visitors visa tommorow. they need u to be accurate and precise.
Are u still using the normal green passport to apply, cos i heard from next year everyone would be entitle to use just the electronic passport which would be made available online be4 u apply. just time ur document are accurate. they like filty excuses, talking from experience.
I wish u well.

Halo house. pls someone should advise me concerning uk visa repplication. I applied and my application was declined based on the fact that my account statement was old. Meanwhile, returning my documents; one of my original document (wedding certificate) was not returned to me but the photocopy was returned instead. And this document is vital to me even not for the visa purpose. Now, i want to re-apply, can i submit the photocopy and write to them that the original is still with them? I have sent them mails several times and have not received a reply in that regard. Pls advice me candidly,

Please i need your Help, i was Refused UK Visa last week, The ECO Said that My Sponsor did not Disclosed to me the number of hours that i will be working in a Week in UK and that was The Only Reasons why i was Refused Visa.
I have already Appeal the Decision but i understand that Appeals takes time and i am expected to Resume duty in UK by 1st Week of February, is it Better for me to rather make a Fresh Application and i do i also Need to Pay for Health Surcharge again ?
