@Justwise, need ur opinion, I'm a british citizen based in naija but actually but in UK currently for my masters after which i'll definitely return to naija (its a years programme). My Dad has been based in UK for long and i intend him to be my sponsor to invite my wife for a holiday (3weeks). Now people are telling me that the embassy wont honour a visiting visa application for my wife because i'm a citizen that i should go for a spousal visa. Is this true? Secondly if true, how do i go about that knowing that i dont want to stay in the uk beyond october when my masters ends, i therefor see no need of applying for a settlement visa for now. what kind of visa application do u advice we go for? Many thanks in advance |

justwise: Thanks very much mate. you rock!!! |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 2 by justwise(m): 12:59am On Dec 30, 2011 |
Piyke: No worries, just get all the materials needed and apply especially accommodation and the cost of her visit. |

@Justwise Please kindly offer an opinion regarding what I posted few days ago. Thanks for your help. |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 2 by justwise(m): 12:18pm On Dec 30, 2011 |
Bwoodlt: Staying 3months instead of stated 2wks shouldn't necessarily be a problem as long as he did not over-stayed his visa and wasn't questioned when leaving the UK but he should be ready to explain to immigration why he stayed that long IF asked at POE. As a student he needs a letter from his school and progress report as well |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 2 by Bwoodlt: 1:29pm On Dec 30, 2011 |
Thanks Justwise. Will let him know. I believe he can use the same letter he got from his school when he made his initial application? Please correct me if I'm wrong or will you recommend he gets a new letter for the extension/renewal? Much appreciated |

Bwoodlt: He needs to get another letter, with current date, reflecting his current situation, signed and stamped by his head of depart or course tutor. |

AOAC:Indeed, your situation is a little bit critical, and giving you a straight advice would be complicated as well, so, in order to have a head way in this, let's start by discoursing the whole thing. I understand that your family, friends and other loved ones "want you to stay around them", but then, their desires can not affect the laws of the land. And like you rightly pointed out, you've already violated the Immigration rules by overstaying your visa, and that offence attracts the 10 years ban, so, going to Nigeria might spell the end of your UK dream; you might never been allowed to return to the country. These few things said, i'd like to suggest that you first of all contact a solicitor and see if there is any legal way out, and if there is none, then come back, some people may be willing to suggest some desperate measures |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 2 by AOAC: 3:00pm On Jan 02, 2012 |
Vicjustice: Thats why i'm mega-confused. Also, when i first applied for the ILR (not IDR as previously written), i wasn't given a right to appeal. I don't know if that was even legally possible for the home office to do. They quoted some law explaning that i have no appeal because my visa was still valid upon the date of them responding to my application. But i recieved my documents back only about a week before it was to expire. I also hear that if i return voluntarily, i could face one year ban instead of 10. But i don't know how true this is. Apart from Vicjustice, can any other person help please? 1 Like |

AOAC:Oh yes, i remember there was this talk on mercy to those who returned home voluntarily, but i can't confirm that now. But where are those UK based guys, una still dey crunch the Newyear chicken bones? Ha, your brother is here needing your support, help. |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 2 by justwise(m): 10:21am On Jan 03, 2012 |
AOAC: Boy!! you really dig deep into the system and come out with some really complicated issues for yourself. How did you convince them that you qualified to study as home student? What document did you present to the university? There could be a way out but its not going to be an easy one. |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 2 by AOAC: 1:11pm On Jan 03, 2012 |
justwise: well, i dont wanna share that information up here because it might encourage others to use that same route and end of in a situation like mine. However, i can tell you that i didnt use any fake documents and i used my real name to study. infact, ive never used any fake documents or fake names before. All i just wanna know if theres any immigration law that can aide my situation. i've read through a lot of immigration laws, but sometimes you gotta seek knowledge outside the box to gain a broader and more practical perspective. i wanna return home now because i dont want my skills to go wasted here. Also, i wanna be sure i can get only a year ban for returning voluntarily. how true is this? has anyone here overstayed before and got only a year's ban for returning @ their own expense? |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 2 by justwise(m): 1:35pm On Jan 03, 2012 |
AOAC: I know where you are coming from and i wouldn't encourage you to go into any detail here. As per for the ban for over staying and going home voluntarily . . that will depend on how long you over stayed, it ranges from a year to about 5yrs or 10yrs i think. . . need to check that out. You would have been in a better position to win the appeal case if you are married with kids because in that case you have a right to family life. |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 2 by Piyke: 9:01pm On Jan 03, 2012 |
just a quick question. is it true they don't grant obviously pregnant women visiting visa? I'm british n in the UK for studies but based mainly in naija, My parents have a house here 2. I wanted my wife to come briefly before she resumes work, but dont want to put her through the whole process of visa application if she would be denied b/c shes pregnant. Is this true? |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 2 by blank(f): 2:31pm On Jan 05, 2012 |
Thanks. |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 2 by justwise(m): 3:42pm On Jan 05, 2012 |
blank: Applying for family visit visa would have been ok but since you don't want to get into the trouble of proving the rela/ship then go for tourist visa without their invitation letter. |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 2 by justwise(m): 3:45pm On Jan 05, 2012 |
Piyke: The airline will not allow your wife to board if her pregnancy is visible, if she managed to board she will have problems with immigration at the POE. |

Thank You Justwise, God Bless You. Been Denied An american Study Visa Twice, does that diminishes your chances of getting a uk tier 4 visa ?? |
