ayobj: My younger brother jumped the gun in the year 2000.he was helped by an uncle who was staying in the usa then with a fake british passport with which he travelled to the uk.he worked for a while but later had issues which he has not disclosed.

ayobj: Had a daughter with a british girl who first demanded money before marraige and then refused to maarry him saying africans have duped her and her sister for stay issues.
He was subsequently deported in 2007.he had no money so could not travel on his own volition.he said he was a nigerian.
He wants to go back.

ayobj: When I visited britain,his friends said I should get him a schengen and that he will find his way back to britain.

ayobj: Does he have the 10 year ban being that he travelled to britain prior to the biometric era?

ayobj: Cam he get a 6 month visit visa on his present status.

ayobj: Can he apply to britain to see his daughter?

ayobj: I visited the daughter and mother recently but still she has no job and lives with her parents.
My brother used to live there too.typical british house.no luxuries.
She lives on welfare!
Tried moving to a shelter in east london but didn't work.
My brother is now 35.
I need candid advice on this issue.
Thanks.

Vicjustice: The online visa application process is not supported for every country, and i think Nigeria is one of the unsupported countries, but the application form is more or less the same contents except for the process.
So, when applying for the visa (in due time) just tick the "I DON'T KNOW" option on the Father/Mother's Date Of Birth.

golagoal:

Wrong, Nigeria is one of the supported countries, I applied for my uk visiting visa using the online visa application process

Vicjustice:
The source of the money is not the main problem, nor is the accumulating method of compiling the funds, the issue is: the N350k is way too low to satisfy the Visa Officer, how much less when you explain to the Visa Officer that the money is a combined effort from yourself and other relatives...and that 100k (from it) has been spent on other matters.
If you paid the visa fee, and purchased an economic flight ticket from the 250k, would there be anything left?

Bola20: Hello VIcjustice, I'm a student and I was granted a six month family visit visa last year August and I visited the Uk in December. I intend applying again this September and I want to apply for a 2 years general visitor using an hotel reservation since my Uncle won't be around in December. Pls what is my chance of getting the 2 years general visitor visa?

Vicjustice:
The undisclosed issues are very vital for a "candid advice" to be given

Does that mean he is not a Nigerian? Well, i don't seem to get the point of these paragraphs

Don't you think this will put him in a similar mess like before?
It is not an ideal thing for him to be a fugitive in the UK where his finger-scans are recorded perhaps on a false identity, he wouldn't like to be in a Hide & Seek game with the authorities.


This is not something that i can not guarantee, but yet, with my limited knowledge of the UK and Europe in General, i am of the opinion that they could not have deported him (on their expense) without a ban: and even if the false identification happened before the 10 years ban era, he can still get the ban which would take effect from the day he applies for a UK visa or the day he comes to the attention of the Immigration authority

Impossible, at least, not until he is cleared of all these troubles

Because he was not married to the child's British mother, and he is not the sole provider for her upkeep and maintenance, he has not been a habitual resident with the girl, he had violated immigration rules, he does not have evidence of being the girl's father, he impregnated the girl and gave birth to the child under false identity and he posses a great threat to immigration; he has no rights to the girl, and would stand no ground: only the girl's mother can help him in this situation, but it would take an exhaustive up-hill struggle to do the paper works

If she has no job, it means that she and her daughter are liabilities to the government, therefore, her rights to file a case for her child's father is taken away especially when she is not legally married to the man. She too has no ground.
Even if he happens to be in the UK, the authority has every right to remove him from the country leaving the daughter behind especially if there is not cooperation from the woman who is a UK citizen

sizzlinghottie: Hello my nairalanders, my cousin was with her exfiance for 5years and had a kid with him and she adopted his name just for one of her bank accounts which happens to be her most active account right now. She is been sponsored on a trip to the uk but would have to tender her account statement as ECO procedure, a contact to bank said that name change can be done if she has a newspaper publication to prove it, but then again she was told by the newspaper agents she called that she can only do a change of name if she has a marriage cert or divorce cert of nysc cert and she has none of the above. Basically she has all her documents ready to apply just her account statement, is it possible she can attach a sworn affidavit to the statement and also explain to ECO that she hasn't updated her account hence the reason why her name hasn't been changed. Please any advice or suggestions would be highly appreciated.

Vicjustice: If you are only going to renew your degree, you may apply for visit visa, but if the purpose of your intended travel is academical (ie to write exams etc) then, you should apply for the appropriate visa, Student Visa: Visit/Tourist Visa does not cover academic matters

dunte:

joy90: Hi all, pls i need ur help, i know i'll get lots of insult but atleast i'll hear the truth and be better.. sometimes last yr i applied for a UK visiting visa. I was still in sch then doing my MASTERS. I got letter from sch, also invitation from a family relative. Then i defaulted and used a fake(forged) dad's account cos i didnt seek his counsel. I was denied on 3 counts and i had full rights of appeal.
1. that no prove of the said dad's fund and not convinced that it will be made available to me (i didnt include work details etc)
2. that my cousin that invited me didnt show proof of accomodation and they are not sure the kind of accomodation that will be available to me
3. that my sch didnt include my graduation date or study period.
This was last yr july, i completed my masters coursework in sept though still on my project till date.
i got a job with one of the govt parastatals in same sept and have since been working with them.
now i want to re-apply this december cos thats when i chose for my leave period. i want to know the documents i'll need and also my chances of getting a visa and also if i wud include a covering letter addressing the issue of my refusal or just go ahead and apply with all my genuine documents.
THANKING YOU ALL IN ADVANCE FOR UR KIND RESPONSE

NO, No one will insult you because, everyone has seen and read every case in the book .
Well, it is unfortunate that once you have been placed on the 10 years ban, you can never be issued a visa (until after the 10 years) no matter how clean you came out and how impressive your paper works are, and i must warn you that you got the ban on the basis of the "fake(forged)" bank statement that you presented in your failed application even though it was not mentioned to you

Vicjustice: You talk about her mum's circumstances, but she is an adult desiring to travel to the UK for pleasure; she is neither going to the UK for medical reasons nor for studies, nor is she going on a complimentary offer from her work place (these are the conditions in which sponsorship is considerable) otherwise, since she does not meet the requirement of a tourist/pleasure visitor on her own, you need to be an eminent figure to be capable of inviting her. Well, you can try your luck

joy90: like seriously lolling.... i wasnt refused under a section that explains when one is banned, i was refused under a section that explains non-satisfactory feeling that i would return

justwise:

It will only become clear if you are banned or not when you apply again, only then will you know if the fake bank statement was detected or not, unfortunately they did not make it clear in that refusal statement which is sometimes the case.

Vergil:

They would have atleast made mention of the genuineness of the statement. Definitely would have. So don't think they noticed. But all in all, if u get refused again, after getting all the docs and enough naira in the account to back it up. Then most likely the ban.
