if your case has been heard by immigration jugde ,the decision will be passed to uk immigration border /or what ever they call it to check if there is error inlaw ,however if they do not find any error in law ,normally it takes them a few working days they will post a decision to you.
just chill and pray to God.

thanks vicjustice and awoll for your response, Do u advice that my company writes them on my behalf or i should just go ahead like u said requesting for my passport and the original copy of my employment letter as i want to use it for another purpose. beside the last time i mailed them the response was that they are conducting a check, if i may ask what other checks do they do, cause they called my company and confirmation was done, also my bank was also contacted which i found out from my account officer during these long delay for statements confrimation.
What exactly are you suggesting that your company writes the BHC on your behalf, perhaps your expect the company to pressure them to issue you the visa or perhaps you want the company to ask for your documents? Please, bear in mind that the BHC is not a respecter of any company, person or title. And though your company may approve and be supporting your application, but that does not in any way give it the rights to make request or demand for any document pertaining to you. Therefore, under the data protection acts, the BHC will by no means reveal or pass your documents over to your company. So, you alone are the only one that can make the request for your own documents. And as for your other question: but why do you worry about the kind of check they do on your documents? this shouldn't be part of your worries as long as you know that there's nothing in them that you don't want them to know about. Is there anything else you want us to do for you? |

here i come, good people of nairaland,i need your brilliant expertise. i applied for a spouse visa in June and i have been refused as follows, you hav submitted yr marriage cert dated xxxxx.u hav submitted a photocopy of yr husband's bio-data page of their passport ans photocopies of the passport,your marriage certificate indicates your spouse was in Nigeria for d wedding,however,i note that yr husband arrived 5 days b4 the weddn and left 3 days after.u hav not provided evidence of regular contact since thier departure from 9ja such as itemised telephone bills listing yr telephone number,emails,letters,cards etc.this lack of evidential contact casts doubt on whether your relationship is subsisting and as such i am not satisfied that you meet the requirements of paragraph 281(i)(ii)(iii) of HC395 i note that u hav submitted a numba of wedding photographs,however u have not provided photos of different stages of yr relatnship.i note dt u claim dat yr relatnship started in xxxxx i believe that it is reasonable to expect from partners in a serious relationshp and who are geographically seperated to hav photos and evidence of contact at different stages of their relationship.there are a number of docs u cld hav submitted such as bt nt limited to phone bills listing yr phone numbers,emails,letters,etc this lack of evidential contact casts doubt on whether your relationship is subsisting and as such i am not satisfied that u meet d requirements of paragraph 281(i)(ii)(iii) since the claimed commencement of yr relatnship and following yr marriage,you and your sponsor have spent a total of only 3 days together.u havebn unable to produce satisfactory evidence to confirm yr claims that u have kept in regular contct with yr sponsor.u claim u speak regularly yet u have a limited knowledge of yr sponsor's circumstances in UK for example,their house,job,income,hobbies,his favourite tv shows, interests,books,movies.one must expect that a wife might havea better knowledge of their husbands circumstances if they were to speak every evening on phone as you claim.this further casts doubt on yr claims.as such i am not satisfied dt u have genuinely formed a relationship,that u have bn in regular contact and that yr marriage is subsisting.you have therefore failed to demonstrate satisfactorily that both you and yr sponsor intend to live permanently with each other as his or her spouse.u have also failed to demonstrate that the marriage is subsisting as required by paragraph 281(iii) or 290iii or 295vii of d UK immigration rules HC395(as ammended) you hav submitted a tenancy agreement for xxxxxxxxxxxx as evidence of your proposed accommodatn in the UK.this agreement ran for a period of 6 months and has nw expired.you have provided no further evidence that this accommodatn is available to u.i am not satisfied that it gives a true and accurate reflection of d accomodatn u hav arranged for u in uk.i am also aware that u propose to live with your sponsor,i note that u state on yr applicatn form that he has a flatmate therefore i am not satisfied that adequate accomodatn is available which u or yr sponsor own/occupy exclusively.therefore on the balance of probability,im not satisfied that d accommodatn in uk is adequate and xclusively occupied by yrself/sponsor nor am i satisfied that this flatmate arragement is just an interim measure as in accordance with paragraph 281 you hav submitted yr sponsors personal bank statement account number xxxxxxxx as evidence of finance.however while d account receive regular credits and d balance fluctuates and was as low as xxxx,your sponsors average monthly income is xxxx as detailed on his salary slips.i note that u hav submitted some money transfers however d amounts are not reflected in the withdrawals in the bank account.i also note that i can see no regular payments for d amount of rent reflected in his bank statements.due to the limited financial documents that you have submitted,i am not satisfied that you will be able to maintain yrselves adequately without additional recourse to public funds. i note that u are not employed and that you intend seeking employment in the UK.however given the current world-wide economic down turn i am not satisfied that you will find gainful employment as easily as you believe.in d current climate,u have not completed any research or sought advice for any employment in any particular field nor have you showed any evidence of transferrable skills to enable u obtain employment in uk.u have provided no evidence of of any educational qualifications,therefore i believe u will be seeking employment in an oversaturated unskilled job market which is already according to uk statistics office in decline www.statistics.gov.uk. therefore i am not satisfied that u will be able to maintain yrselves adequately without recourse to public funds. in reaching my decision,i have also taken account of the human rights act,i accept that this decision may result in limited interference with the right to family life as described in article 8,however,i remind myself that this is a qualified right and i am satisfied that the decision is justified and proportionate in d interests of maintaining an effective immigration control.furthermore,no reason has been advanced as to why u and yr sponsor cannot enjoy family life in Nigeria. i therefore refuse your application.
this was just not my lucky day i guess cuz i answered all d questions he asked me but he said i didnt, was he totally deaf???i still wonder.,my sponsor and i have spent about 11 weeks together but he stated 3 days,my husband left 4 weeks after our wedding but he stated 3 days after.i submitted my application 2 months before d tenancy agreement was to expire.my husband had a low balance indeed cuz he mostly financed our wedding and all but i also submitted my bank statement with a savings of abot 3,500 pounds,i submitted a 'to whom it may concern' letter frm my school stating that i have graduated but awaitng results,i alos submitted my waec/neco.i submitted pictures we took before our wedding but the eco was too blind to see them,i cldnt submit phone records cuz my husband was still in towm wen i submitted my application and i was not asked to come wiv anythn on interview date, see me see trouble o. pls help me wiv this cuz i dont even have d slightest idea of where to start from.thanks. |

Actually, there are discrepancies from what you said and the ECO's statement. The ECO said s/he noted that your husband arrived five days before your wedding and departed just three days after it: How did he get this claim if really (according to your declaration) your husband left four weeks after your wedding? What could be the element of the fact in what the ECO claimed, do you have any idea whether your husband's travel document was seen on arrival in the UK on the particular day, or did he have his travel document tempered by immigration stamp, or maybe, he booked a flight ticket for the questionable date but didn't use it? I suppose you should have a clue of what made the ECO believe that your husband left three days after your wedding. Now, let's look into the issues. You see, these ECOs usually judge Africans and access their visa applications according to their own mentality, and this puts a naive visa applicant in a disadvantage situation. Many Nigerians are refused visas mainly because of inexperience and unskillfulness in the command of fundamentals deriving from practice and familiarity, the basic cause of this is the tradition, customs and local practices. For example: Some of us will be applying for a visa to visit a cousin, and we say he's a brother; the ECO will definitely see this as a lie and will refuse the visa. Also, there are many of us who do not know our family members, friends or relatives date of birth, nor have adequate knowledge of their circumstances as we ought; this too can result in visa refusal. Now, talking about spouses, the ECO expects that a husband and wife know everything, and i mean everything about each other: this is their definition of a marriage of convenience, one that is sustained. Where-as we know that African men in their sexism often do not reveal their everything to their own wives. It is worthwhile to note that a visa can be refused if a woman is unable to answer unthoughtful questions like: When was the exact date that your husband went on holidays?
What is your husband's shoe size?
What is your husband height in metres? However, It's a good thing that everything which the ECO deemed reasons for refusal is explained in the letter, and i note that most of these foul assertions are pointed at your husband circumstances. I suggest you put things right before appealing this decision, or rather re-apply when things are sorted; you have a good ground for it. It shouldn't have been brought to the notice of the ECO that your husband shares a flat with mate (S/he would see this as a clear indication of his living standard). Let your husband rent a new flat because it won't make sense to now claim that his mate quit the flat. (he may share the new flat with mates, but it shouldn't reflect in the tenancy agreement). |

Hello guyz in the house, i'm in need of your advice and support concerning my uk visa appeal.
I applied for a deppendent visa to join my husband, we got married in feb this year, applied for
visa in march.
I was refused visa on the grounds that, exerpts from eco,
YOU HAVE APPLIED TO JOIN YOUR HUSBAND XXXXX, IN THE UK AS THE SPOUSE OF A TIER 1 (GENERAL) applicant.
you have submitted a copy of you sponsor's passport bio data page and a copy of a tier 1 (general) migrant visa issued to him
on xxxxx.
You have failed to submit any evidence of his circumstances before this time and i am not satisfied on the evidence before me that
he has lived in the uk over 12 months.
Therefore, your spouse is required to show that he has available funds £1,600 for you over a 3 month period immediately preceding your application.
You have submitted two bank statements to support your application, xxxxxxxxxxxxx
this statements have a closing balance of xxxxxxxxxxxx
both bank statements were over one month old at the time of your application.
i therefore refuse your application under paragraph 319c(g) of the immigration rules
MY HUSBAND APPLIED FOR THE APPEAL DIRECTLY TO AIT FROM UK, AND FROM THE REASONS GIVEN FOR REFUSING ME VISA, MY HUSBAND HAS BEEN IN UK SINCE 2003.
HE COMES TO NIGERIA REGULARLY AND IS GAINFULLY EMPLOYED.
HE HAS A VERY GOOD JOB AND WE APPLIED USING A FAT BANK ACCOUNT.
I GUESS THE ECO DID NOT TAKE TIME OUT TO VERIFY MY HUSBAND'S EVIDENCE OF CIRCUMSTANCES FROM 2003 TILL 2009.
I APPEALED IN APRIL AND SINCE THEN, WE HAVE NOT HEARED FROM AIT
PLS KIND PPL OF NAIRA LAND, I SINCERELY NEED your ADVICE WETHER I SHOULD RE-APPLY OR WAIT FOR AIT. BUT I REALLY NEED TO BE WIT MY HUSBAND, THANX.

thanx so much for your concern. we submitted all documents required and photocopies of my husband's passport. probably due to change in the immigration policies, his passport was changed to tier 1 HSMP last year. maybe the eco did not take the time to check my husband's passport properly and assumed he just got his visa last year. we plan being together this Christmas, or we will apply all over again. i learnt the visa fee has increased, quite a lot of money. hope to get more reply from u, i appreciate your concern. thanx |

yea, maybe i'll re-apply again. i dont know what is keeping the AIT from getting us informed and let us know if we should re-apply or wait for them. my husband decided to get a lawyer, but for now we dont know our fate. my husband is insistiting i re-apply again but i said we should hold on and hear from them. thanx so much |

Darlsharl,
There is nothing stopping you from re-applying whilst your appeal is pending.
If you re-apply just ensure you address all points raised by the ECO. Do not
assume anything, ECOs just do not have time to verify each and every document
it is down to the applicant to ensure all necessary documents are submitted.
Also unless your appeal is particularly complicated I would say employing a
lawyer is a possible waste of money. Anyone with a decent level of education
should be able to file and articulate a straightforward appeal. If you are successful
with the re-application then obviously you can withdraw your appeal.
Goodluck.

@VOR - can u tell me wat u make of mine? thanks
hello, i recently applied for a british visa to go on holiday & was refused. my boyfriend was planning to buy my ticket and this he stated in his letter to them.my refusal was based on the fact that he put lump sum in his account in a space of two days and there was no explanation for it so they said his account was artificially inflated. he works with bank phb as a branch head. i told him i would rather use his salary account as i presumed this would help so he gave me the bank statements for his salary account but withdrew N400,000 from his union bank account & also N600,000 from his bank phb savings account which explains the N1,000,000 that the embassy talked abt, so my question! is it justified that i was refused based on that since he owns both accounts that they money was transfered from and statements from these 2 accounts can prove it & also can i appeal though i heard it takes a longer process but i dont mind since i would go to dubai instead & dont mind waiting & cld travel next yr, a friend also adviced that i send the embassy a mail to state my complaints abt the refusal and they would respond & ask me to make a copy of the mail i sent and ask me to reapply, wat are my best options??? many thanks!

Vjay,
A letter of complaint would get you nowhere. On the basis of the facts you have narrated
the ECO would be fully justified in refusing your application.
When you submitted your b/f statement did you also submit the other two statements and explain
the source of the funds in the first statement?
Furthermore, unless your aplication for a visit visa was for a family visit you have no right of appeal
against the refusal.
In summary, I would suggest that if you are still minded to visit the UK you re-apply and address all points
raised by the ECO. Was this the only reason for refusal? Normally ECOs give at least 2/3 in order to strengthen
the refusal.
Finally, even if there was only one reason for refusal make sure you comply with all other requirements of a genuine visitor. These include, but are not limited to; sufficient funds, adequate accommodation, proof of significant ties to Nigeria, eg job confirmation, evidence of studies etc.
Good luck.

@VOR thanks for replying Vor !no, i did not attach the other statements explaining the funds! also it is a family visit and i included all other documents like my letter of leave from my boss, my personal savings account, letter of employment, payslips, id card & yes thats the only reason they gave they said the account was probably inflated for this purpose & for this reason they were not satisfied with the financial capabilities of my boyfriend hence the refusal! they also did say there was no explanation stating where the money came from! i was however given the rite to appeal! wat do u think? |

Vjay,
Depending on how soon you wish to come to the UK I'd re-apply.
Re-submit the statements [all of them] again with an explanatory
letter from your b/f explaining the source of the funds.
If however you are in no hurry, then by all means appeal.

Darlsharl,
There is nothing stopping you from re-applying whilst your appeal is pending.
If you re-apply just ensure you address all points raised by the ECO. Do not
assume anything, ECOs just do not have time to verify each and every document
it is down to the applicant to ensure all necessary documents are submitted.
Also unless your appeal is particularly complicated I would say employing a
lawyer is a possible waste of money. Anyone with a decent level of education
should be able to file and articulate a straightforward appeal. If you are successful
with the re-application then obviously you can withdraw your appeal.
Goodluck.
Thank you so much VOR, i really feel happy having wonderful people helping me with the appeal predicament.
i'll re-apply by end of this mopnth if i dont hear from AIT.
And i'll make sure all neccessary document is made available for them to access and verify.
i'm indeed grateful, mean while, i'll keep u posted as the event unfolds.
thanx
