Ok. If he wants to confirm the 10 yrs ban, how does he goes about it from the UK B.A?

Email or call the embassy though i doubt he will get a straight forward answer but it worth a try.

Would you have asked this question if you have to pay money to get the answer?
You applied for a visa, and you got an email saying that your visa has been processed and is ready for collection, and yet, you are asking if it is good or bad (that your visa has been processed).
It just doesn't make sense.
Sorry, I have to answer this way, but understand that there are numerous number of guys like you asking this same question over and over and over again. Wouldn't it be more reasonable to first use the search engine?

They would know that you had been refused a UK visa, and European countries may want to pay a better look at why... But that does not automatically mean that you would be refused as well: the REASON for the refusal is more importannt than the refusal itself.
You should be fine if you meet the requirements

I think the visa was a 6 months visa with a 2 weeks duration of stay.
Well, renewing a visa depends on the valid reason that you are applying for the renewal.

Hi Justwise/Vicjustice,
I really need your honest advice. I'm a graduate and I'll be through with my NYSC by 1st week in Oct, 2014. During the course of my service year I was able to save up to N500,000 in a UBA account. I'm planning to travel to UK for holiday after the service year, I have a cousin/uncle in the UK that can issue me an invitation letter and he will also provide accommodation for me, cos he has been doing this for my elder sister that travels to the UK.
My sister just retired from the bank, and she has a very well funded business she had been running for over 5 years now, so she can also fund part of my trip to UK.
What I intend to do is this; I want to claim that I'm working with my sister's company on a fixed salary which I'll determine later. I also want to run my GTB account personally with the 500k at intervals so as to build my account for the period of 6 months. Let me also include that my dad has a registered company name since the year 2001 which I can also claim I work with.
So finally my concerns are, which of either my sister's or dad's company should I claim I work with, and if I did run the account with time, what are the chances that my visa application will be successful bearing in mind that I will supply the necessary docs like payslip, letter of employment, leave letter and so on. I need your professional advice.

Your comprehensive and prompt response will be appreciated.

They wrote on it that it is valid from july30 to august 15..does it mean it was a 6months visa with 2weeks stay.And if I want to renew can I get someone in UK to invite me base on visitation and if yes sir,can I request for 2years or normal 6months?
Thanks sir

You have just requested that I aid you in a deceptive plan, right?
Well, I am not here to help people design a lie and to make it look good, but rather to help genuine individuals.
However, if you want what is good for you, just tell your sister or/and your dad to volunteer you an employment with genuine proceedures otherwise, you are going to waste your money and also get the 10 years ban. Cheers

Vicjustice, Thanks for that honest response. I just wanted to know my chances that's why I posted that. Kindly elaborate on the volunteer employment. Thanks!

What "they wrote" on it is called Remark, but the visa should be valid for 6 months howbeit, you can only be in the UK for a period not exceeding 2 weeks according to the remark.
And sure, you can get someone to invite you to visit, but then, you need to meet the requirements for a tourist visa, and also, you need to satisfy the visa officer on the need to issue you a 2 years visa.

According to this narration, you are not seeking to travel as a tourist, but as an immigrant, and that is a tough one since you you are not pursuing it through the right channel.
Well, they don't have to become UK citizens before they can invite you to visit them, they are eligible to invite you if they hold the appropriate visas or resident permit, You may be able to get a tourist visa if you satisfy the requirements especially if you can prove that you have a considerable obligation to return to Nigeria for, but bear in mind that you can only remain in the UK if you condescend to become an absconding fugitive and become an illegal alien.

Gentlemen please I need your advice. My wife has been a frequent visitor to the uk and actually just renewed her visa for a two year period however we ar considering her going to study in uk. My question is would she need to apply for a students visa or can she use her tourist visa? Secondly our 5 year old son had a two year visa which expired in April but wasn't used at all. Is there any implication as we want to renew it? Thanks

Hello house, Please I need advice, we (Myself & Family) applied for a UK Visa, (already we have a 2 years US visa). My bank account balance is in 8 figures and my monthly earning is in 7 figures and we were denied because according to them they could not confirm our hotel reservations in UK. But this is not true as the reservations we made through booking.com is still valid.
Now a lawyer advise that I should not allow my money (N285,000) go down the drain, that we should appeal. Her fee is N50,000. Please what should I do? Should I appeal or reapplied? Thanks.

Greetings to this honorable house, please i want to know if www.wakanow.com is a reliable site to purchase int'l flight ticket from? Thanks and waiting

Be advised that winning an appeal does not guarantee the issuance of a visa, she may have to resubmit her application and be reevaluated according to her current circumstances especially if it is not a spouse visa application

I don't wish to be a repellant of customers from other people businesses, but since you are doubtful about their legitimacy, then, how about you visit the website of a carrier and purchase the ticket yourself?
However, the agency has been there for a while now, so I am of the opinion that it wouldn't have sustained this long if their dealings are illegitimate

You did not state the visa category that you applied for nor did you give adequate information to work with.
However, I do not recommend you waste your money to a lawyer because, I am not sure that the application is one that requires a lawyer's service.
Please, provide more information and I'm sure you can get free help here rather than paying away N50k (for something that you can do for free)

That person is not a real lawyer, probably visa agent, you are not entitled to an appeal.

First you need to confirm from the hotel that your reservation is still valid because many hotels do cancel reservations even without informing you, so do that and use the evidence to reapply.

Do you have that reconfirmed by the hotel? If yes then reapply and attach the email to your application, use the black space to voice your disappointment with the previous refusal.
