Uk Visa - Visa Appeal Process

Hello all !
I hope all of u r fi9,
I recently applied for UK Student VISA and it got refused , within 3 days frm the refusal date i have already posted the appeal form w/supporting documents with it.

The reasons mentioned in the refusal notice were:
1) I have not satisfied the VISA Officer that i know well about my Diploma Course.
2) My father don't have enough money to support me while studying.

The thing is, i had never experienced such interview b4 and i was a bit nervous n confused while giving the interview.

About the fathers money thing, the VISA Officer did not go through my documents thoroughly, I was having acceptance letter of MCBT (Marlborough College of Business and Technology) with full fees paid 3,000.00 British Pounds, beside that my father was having more than enough amount in bank to support me in accommodation and my maintenance thought out the Diploma course, which is 1 year (OTHM - The Organization for Tourism and Hospitality Management) Diploma Course actually.

Please, can any 1 tell me if my appeal will be accepted?

Hello,
I paid 6500 pounds as deposit and was still denied,
the course was superb relevant to the oil and gas industry,
i was told to forward all documents before the 28 of feb,
i want to know how soon can i get my visa.

I feel you on this Akowale.

Most of the new posters give very scanty details
and I just can't be bothered to start requesting
for further info from them.

In any case if they took the time to trawl through
the various threads and responses on UK visas they would probably
find the answer/s to any query they have.

A witness statement could be in this format.

THE AIT or is it THE IAA (underline)                                   CASE NO. ?? (underline)

Keep praying to God. He is faithful.

Researches have always shown that oral hearing is more favourable by a 20%-30% margin, but there is nothing God cannot do. With prayer and supplication make your request known to HIM.

The listing of an appeal for a hearing is down to the administrative section of the AIT. You will need to
contact them direct to see if your matter has been given a hearing date. Given the deadline for the submission
of your appeal was 27/02/07 I don't think it will be anytime soon,

As for the decision in your case that is entirely up to the speed of the judge. If it is a straightforward case
he/she may give a decision on the same day, alternatively he may give it up to a few weeks later.
All told it may be several months before your case is done and dusted, so it may be a good idea to
have a plan B.

BTW, have a look at this thread and my response to a query by JEJE, it may be relevant to your situation.

Please what was the question again?

Sincerely appeal cases are 50/50 thing. Just be hopeful and if all issues raised in your refusal letter have been addressed in your appeal statement. Then just be expectant for a good reply.

@ akolawole
i dont know about visa agents asking for advise via this forum, well if you need 2 know i am not one and i havent sent you any mails, of course i understand the need for caution, but reading thru the thread i am yet 2 find anything suspicious.
@mrpataki
thanks.

@Lelele

Am i reffering to you?

@MrPataki
Thanks jare.

@Funkybaby

Do you now agree that you cant forcefully get visa upon winning appeal?

@big_bumper

Many thanks to you for dat reply, i will keep my eyes up to God for His favour.

@funkybaby

No i don't have any degree i have just done HSSC, simply Intermediate.

   I want to do the OTHM Diploma (The organization in Tourism And Hospitality Managment) from the MCBT so i can start my Tourism business in my homecountry

@Akolawole
yea i did mention age, as an ECO if a 26yr old applies for a college programme how would you treat/see the application. same point should be used to access a graduate applying for a college diploma, sounds dodgy innit? I leave you to it.

Checklist for Student Visa
Valid passport,Current educational qualification,Relevance of course,Sponsor details,Acceptable Financial outlay

Gbeborun,

I was only quoting the UK Immigration rules. It is for he applicant to prove that he will come back to Nigeria.

@LondonCool

Thanks

@Gbeborun
Did you always believe in what these ECO says?
I am a product of Appeal though many years ago when British High commision was NOT  in Eleke but in one building called Chellaram building in Marina[ I WILL SHARE MY STORY ONE DAY].

Just few days ago, one of my people was refused. She was stupidly considered on a completely different rule to the one she applied upon. I have filed the appeal and will definitely win the appeal.

With my experience in few UK courts, intention cannot be proved.
