General UK Visa Enquiries

@ funkybaby
@ all member in the house

Please help us oh. My girlfriend recently applied for Student UK visa two weeks ago and went there today and they refused her Visa based on that ECO said her WAEC result was fake ONLY. The resumption date for her school is in 2 weeks time which is on the 19th May 2008. While she was there today, she met a lawyer who said that he could help by going through review which will take 5 - 10 days instead of appeal which might take 6 months or more. I spoke to the lawyer on the phone and he also said that we should try and include another sponsor bank statement which will show a fatter amount. The current sponsor earns =N=1.2 million per month because he works in an company (shell). The current balance on the last statement of the sponsor account was about =N=143,000(April) but the statement shows how money was going in Millions. Are they looking fro how the account is been run or the balance in the account. She also claimed that her WAEC result is original. Her WAEC result was not ready, so WAEC office issue he statement of result.  So my people please what should I do. Her school has another resumption date which is next month. should we just leave it like that . Please help me oooooooooooo.

@poet

Sorry about your babe's refusal.


Nah ! That cannot be the ONLY reason stated on the refusal. The best thing is to scan the refusal letter and upload it here. Make sure you remove all personal details. It makes the whole thing a lot easier - advising based on what exactly the ECO stated and not just a quick summary from the poster.

She MUST get her WAEC certificate. Without that  BHC is very strict with statement of results. As a matter of fact WAEC has instructed them not to accept it from applicants and they should regard such statements of result as fake.


Majority of those boys milling around VAC offices  sharing pamphlets, eagerly lurking around for the applicant to open the package and see the look on his or her face (joy or sadness) before they move for the kill are not lawyers and majority do not know anything other than collecting money.
If the so called immigration lawyer knew his onions well, then his emphasis should have been on the WAEC result and not necessarily the bank statement. 

Okay. The choice is totally yours and your girl's - To either do it yourself, contact someone here to help you
(i recommend Pataki-he is really good in this) or you contact your pamphlet sharing fake lawyer  .

However, bear in mind that review for reconsideration does not work for all cases neither does going through the whole visa appeal process. Anyway, your decision on how to want to go about it will determine how much i can explain further.

Alright. Are you on Yahoo Instant Messenger? If yes, you will be sent a mail asking for your yahoo ID.  Pataki and I will contact you.

@poet

I will send you a mail in the next 1-2 hours.

@House
 Irrespective of the fact that some PPle in the likes of Funkybaby, Vicjustice, Patakee and a host of others are trying to attend to as much questions as possible i think some Nigerians night hae started abusing this opportunity i mean very soon someone would come on nairaland and ask us to spell NIGERIA for him.

@deji
Please go to VFS ibadan and ask them these questions. like i said in the other thread you cannot submit your application on nairaland so the earlier you go the better for you.

@vicjustice
All you have just posted in reply to JC Deji's enquiries are nothing but rubbish and totally wrong.

Since when did BHC begin online applications for visa applications from Nigeria. If you do not know anything about how things are done from Nigeria, its best you overlook the post and shut up rather than exhibiting your foolishness here.

@deji
When the VAC started, they had an office at Ibadan. However,right now i am not sure if its still being operated. Their office at Port Harcourt has been closed. I am only very sure of Lagos and Abuja. I will look up their site to confirm about IB and i will get back to you.

You need to fill a seperate form for each applicant just as you are paying seperate fees and using seperate passports. Each application is considered on its individual merit. Husband can be granted visa, wife can be refused.

   Hmm! I'm surprised you're not aware that the online application method functions in Nigeria, and that Ibadan is a major visa application centre: UK Visa Application Centre, Ibadan
                                                  Ground Floor, 36, Osuntokun Avenue
                                                  Bodija
                                                  Oyo State, Ibadan.
                                                  Telephone 04601440 (N50 per min)
   Don't you think you need to upgrade your brain in order to update your knowledge before coming to show your mannerless behaviour characterised by your senseless rain of insults?
   For your information, the online application has since been activated in Nigeria despite all the outdated misinformations people have been giving in the name of "advice". Now do your findings before coming out to say some usual nonsense.

LOL . . .

@Vicjustice

is it applicable here in NAIJA

answer the question as simply as possible 

P.S; in answering the question . . .please account for why VACs have so many peeps hanging round their offices
