Please I have some questions, I would appreciate your contribution a lot.
When a visitor visa is refused to a person. Does the person has the right for administrative review, I'm a bit worried as the visitor visa application is not a tier 1, 2, 4 nor 5 who can get this outright.

If by chance this person got this right for review, will the person be allowed to include new documents to clear up the areas that constitute to the rejection of the visa.

Thirdly, how long can such a person wait before reapplying for a visitor visa after refusal

Please I really need your help, please tell me what I should do to make my mum's invitation a success, This is exactly 12 days we received the reply. Is it a review or reapply that we should go for, please enlighten me on things I should bring to correct all mistakes. My mum has loads of commitments at home and therefore has no intention of staying up to 6 months we are requesting.

I and my husband were inviting my mum who is 68yrs old to visit us for the first time for a period of 6 months. The reason we gave was that our children were missing her a lot and this will afford my children ample time to know her.

My mum is a widow and pensioner. Apart from teachers pension, she also has a regular income from her land property renting, people rent portions of her land for different purposes and pay her monthly, all the payments were shown in her bank statement for a long time till date but no other proof to that was included in the application. She has a total of 700,000 naria in her account but it was filled in as 400,000 naria in the application form. My mum has not traveled out of Nigeria before. We also filled in the form that she will pay for her flight, we did so to show that she is comfortable and has no intention of overstaying.

Below is the reply they gave us
In assessing your individual application, it has not been necessary to interview you but i have taken into account :
The financial and employment information as declared by you on your application form
Your passport and travel history
Your family circumstances
The supporting document you have provided

The decision
The exchange rate used in assessing your application was £1 to 268 naira
In order to be able to make decision on your entry clearance application, I have taken into account your stated circumstances in Nigeria, the reason for your visit and your proposed travel arrangement. You have declared that you are a retired state employer earning state income.
You also stated that you propose to travel alone to visit your son who is EEA national. You have not sort to travel outside Nigeria before. You have not shown that the cost is proportionate to reasons you have given for visiting UK, you have therefore not shown strong family, social and economic ties.

You said your son is funding your visit, while you have provided evidence of your sponsor’s fund, you have not provided evidence of his disposable income or any outgoing financial commitment that he may have. Nor have you provided evidence of your sponsor’s commitment in terms of family or other financial outlay. His bank statement shows that he is in receipt of working tax credit.

Seems you didn't read and understand your initial refusal letter before reapplying cos u still made the same mistake of an intention to be sponsored by business funds. Truth to be told, it's same script, different actors. But you ignored the screenplay. First was ur dad, now mum. You ignored the "problematic" - using coy account for leisure WITHOUT providing reasons why it is so instead of personal account. If your cover letter didn't state that, just accept your flaws and put things right net time. Thank you.

Secondly, if you must reapply be sure to include all the relatives and close friends you know in uk and indicate whether you will visit them or not. THEN in your cover letter, draw their attention that you do/do not intend to visit these people, and if you wanna visit them, be sure to include an IV letter to support this.

Also sort out other loop holes cos these people are like eels. If you don't close all loopholes, they'll find one reason to visit past offence and connect it to present mistake and give the mixture/connection as a solid reason for refusal, which more often than not, makes sense.


no cover letter thou i emphasized on my formal refusal in the additional information space on the application form, my mother wasnt involved in anyway, i submitted my own personal account which i have more than 500k wit invoices that shows i have goods, wit my dad statemnt fully signed by other directors (my sisters) n i included my cousin;s information as well

Administrative review (unlike appeal) is neither given nor made by rights, and unlike appeal in which you have the rights to contest a decision, administrative review is only a REQUEST for reconsideration: with administrative review, you are PLEADING for reconsideration, buI with appeal, you are CHALLENGING a decision based on your rights.
Now, anyone can make this request, but i don't often encourage it especially in respect of tourist visa application rather, I encourage the correction of previous errors and reapplication in due time

Please my dear don't waste your time and resources with a lawyer bout admin review. Your visa category cannot ask for admin review.

As per reapplication as an S/E, add all relevant docs (read this thread carefully, it's been answered over n over again), then be sure to put details of shops you intend to visit in an additional letter cum cover letter. This is essential becos if you have never been to the uk, you may need to prove to the visa officer that you have done a business research as a businessman on where n where you will purchase your supplies (clothes) from.

Again, if you intend to "shop for your business", your supporting account(s) needs to be commensurate with your intentions, unlike people who intend to just visit n tour.

Guess you didn't read the question very well. You then gave a response that assumes that general visit visa can actually request admin review, which is WHAT THE POSTER WAS, among other questions, ASKING to clarify.

FYI, as per the bolded, NOT ANYONE CAN MAKE A REQUEST FOR ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW. YOU HAVE TO HAVE APPLIED UNDER CERTAIN CATEGORIES, from the uk, and be in the uk as at the time of admin review request.

Let it be known that I'm in no knowledge tussles with any1. Just like you would do, if I see incorrect info here, it's only nice to correct it. No one knows it all, absolutely No one!!! We all learn, and everyday. So my friend, accept corrections and quit being provoked when and because you are corrected. There's nothing in my correction that spits arrogance, on the contrary, it's your countenance and response to corrections that spells arrogance.

From the very moment that you joined this forum, you began to get on people's necks, you even picked on Justwise and Solomonwise etc. I remember even offering you an apology when you rant endlessly of how you were imaginary victimized.
Yet, you still don't seem to understand that this is a community forum that requires everyone to coexist in cordiality, and to communication their differences in respectful manners.
You are a female, an African at that, your lack of respect and your arrogant manners in correspondences are things that you should be concerned about.
To be honest, from the radical way that you started, i knew that it was only a matter of time before you attack me: you just remind me of a dedicated trouble-maker and i won't be surprised to know that you are she.
Well, Nairaland is a place where any body can hide behind computer's keyboard and rain insult to those that they would respect in real life.
So, enjoy, Miss Tricia

My dear, really sorry to burst ur bubbles, go through my posts, I have never insulted anyone! Even when you say justwise and Solomonwise "victimised" me, did I insult them? No! Bless Seun but I guess the records are still there. If there's something I'm not clear about, I'm very happy to ask more even from them if they will offer solutions. I do not claim to know it all. And like every other person, absolutely no one is above correction. I'm a learner and do my bits daily.
FYI, you don't know me, so you can't say I lack respect or I'm arrogant. I have never judged no one on this forum. In the stead, I empathise with everyone like I've learned to, as if it could happen to anyone, anyway. Even when people's cases seem like a dead end, I don't victimise them like there's no way out. Not only on this forum, everywhere I e-exist. You know yourself, I know me. This is not the first, nor only forum I am on and so I vividly understand that people, regardless of their opinions, must coexist together.
From your words, I can sense that you were only ready for me to say a word to you and you misinterpret it and throw a stone back at me because you already have the mindset I am after you. Again, sorry to burst your bubbles, no time at all, you know how it is.

All these sterns from a little correction I gave to you and not like I've never been corrected before, instead of you to die the matter, you R taking it like its a deliberate cyberattack on you. Omg. So wow! Seriously, I didn't think so about you.
I'm not gonna go on n on on issues like this, so I don't derail the forum. You are entitled to your opinions and perceptions, and I respect that. You may perceive me as arrogant, welldone, but there's a popular saying, "let he who is blameless be the first to cast the stone".
Lastly, anybody may hide behind the taps of a keyboard, but I don't. Ask people that know me. My handle says it all. I may never give my bio data on forums because of cause, people r aware of cybercrime, but I don't attack people facelessly because, who knows,, like I always say, you could be my next door neighbour.

In your calm state, go through my posts and I'm sure that will be helpful. I don't see anywhere I insulted you or anyone at that. It's just a simple correction which If it was me, I'll take to mind. Like ever, I'll say tx. smiley
