justwise: Ok, this is the refusal letter. Everyone should pls give their opinion. Thanks. •The previous entry clearance officer raised concerns over your economic circumstances. In order to be able to make a decision on whether or not to grant you entry clearance in this category I have taken into account your stated circumstances in Nigeria, the reasons for your visit, and your proposed travel arrangements. You state that you are employed full time and that you earn 150,200 Naira per month after tax. You have stated that you no further paid jobs or occupations. I am aware that the documents you have presented appear to indicate that you are employed in a family business and I recognise that you have provided a letter of support from your employer, together with pay slips and personal bank statement and I acknowledge that there are cash payments paid in akin to your salary amounts. These however, remain unsupported by any substantiating documents. •Whilst I accept that many people in Nigeria are paid in cash, I am mindful that it is the applicant's responsibility to submit sufficient information as to satisfy the entry clearance officer of their intentions. I note that you have been in the same employment since 2011. It would therefore be reasonable to expect that you would be able to provide further official documents to support your economic circumstances. In their absence. I am not satisfied that the documents you have submitted satisfactorily establish that your economic circumstances are as stated or address the concerns raised by the previous entry clearance officer. For clearification, the reason I was refused the last time was because my salary payments are made in cash payments. I reapplied and explained why it is so in a cover letter. There is however no document that I know of which I can submit to that effect other than the letter from my employer. If anyone here knows pls I'll be glad to hear it. Secondly, this Eco expects me to have documents for properties because I've been employed for 3years? Seriously? Or isn't that what he meant by " It would therefore be reasonable to expect that you would be able to provide further official documents to support your economic circumstances." Isn't that a little unfair? I'm not saying that it isn't possible but it shouldn't be basis for refusal considering how I've shown good enough ties to Nigeria by showing I manage a family business for my aged parents, even had my parent give me the Cert of registration and Govt approval of the business to back up my application. Plus I had copies of my parents international passport to show their age as stated. I just feel the ECO wasn't fair in his decision. |

Guys Need your help here. I applied for the UK Work Permit Tier 2 ICT visa from India. In the online visa application form at visa4uk.fco.gov.uk I have wrongly entered my Given Name as Akhiil (an extra 'i') instead of Akhil. So now there is a mismatch in the name in the online application form and the passport I hold. Will this be a reason for rejection of my visa by the UK embassy in their verification process? I have already submitted all the documents and the application to VFS center at Chennai. It is a typo. Will they consider that as a typo and process it, or will they reject it? |

justwise can u please help me out with the query above? I am very worried about this whole thing. |

Did you summit a Tax Clearance Certificate? From your circumstances, (i.e. family business, salary paid by cash etc) the best way to satisfy the ECO is to summit a TCC showing that you have actually been paying tax on the your salary to the appropriate tax authorities. Otherwise, the ECO may assume that the cash payments being paid into your bank account is upkeep money by your parents, and I think that is what they have done in this case. kaykay05: |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 2 by kaykay05: 4:19pm On Aug 16, 2014 |
muami: Did you summit a Tax Clearance Certificate? Thanks, I didn't submit a TCC cos tax is paid together by the employer and my payslips show the tax deductions from my salary. |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 2 by justwise(m): 4:22pm On Aug 16, 2014 |
kaykay05: You don't need to submit that because its taken out of your salary automatically, business owners shows TC and not employees. |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 2 by justwise(m): 4:28pm On Aug 16, 2014 |
kaykay05: Give it a break and build your financial stand and tie to Nigeria, re-organize the salary payment system so as to have documented evidence rather than the cash-in-hand system with no paper evidence. With the current situation you wouldn't have done anything difference. 1 Like |

@justwise thanks buddy. Hope everything is fine and they check the name on my passport instead of the incorrect name on the application form while doing the visa stamping. I do not want to land up in a situation where the Passport shows one name and the stamped visa shows a different one. |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 2 by kaykay05: 4:58pm On Aug 16, 2014 |
justwise:Thanks Justwise, I already made up my mind not to even go to U.K. Anymore for now. I just wanted to share with everyone and be sure I didn't get it wrong anywhere. Anyway, I feel I should mail the ECM and voice my concerns. It wouldn't cost me anything. 1 Like |

Employees can obtain TCC whether or not it has been deducted automatically from source. All you need do is to obtain the evidence of remittance of your tax from the employer and take it to the tax office. In some big firms, payroll can process it for you if you make a request. Tax clearance becomes more important when your income is not straightforward as it becomes the best way then to prove your actual income. I know so because I have been in similar situation in the past and was able to overcome it with a TCC. Having said that, I join Justwise to advice that you leave it for a while before any new application. kaykay05: justwise: |

Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 2 by gaskinachi(m): 7:00am On Aug 17, 2014 |
walata75: Pls NL. A close friend applied for 6 month visiting Visa using a forged bank statement. His application was refused under paragraph 320(7A). Does that means he has to wait 10 years or can he reapply after like 2 years? I'm not a guru here but paragraph 320(7A) = deception in visa application ....looks like 10 years to me. 2 Likes |

Does that means he has to wait 10 years or can he reapply after like 2 years? Your friend (or you) should seek clarification by asking direct questions to U.K.B.A. Am I banned from entering the U.K.? How long is the ban in place for? Then you will know instead of just guessing. This can not make your situation any worse but will give facts. |

walata75: Did he apply as a family and added their documents as well? |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 2 by walata75(f): 4:52pm On Aug 17, 2014 |
justwise: Not as a family. But he added some document to support his family attachments in nigeria |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 2 by justwise(m): 4:59pm On Aug 17, 2014 |
walata75: If those documents are genuine then his ban will not affect his family. |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 2 by walata75(f): 5:05pm On Aug 17, 2014 |
justwise:. Ok. If he wants to confirm the 10 yrs ban, how does he goes about it from the UK B.A? |
