please @ boss vicjustice I applied for an irish visa but I was refused with the following reasons

CP:- need to undertake the course in this state not demonstrated or warranted

F:- finances:- evidence provided is deemed insufficient or incomplete. The applicant has provided details that his uncle will cover his full costs. Insufficient evidence of why the sponsor of would pay the applicant rather than his own direct family is not shown. Evidence of relationship to sponsor is also not provided.

ID:- insufficient documentation submitted in support of the application

OB:- obligations to return to home country have not been deemed sufficient

OC:- condition - The potential cost of the trip is high in comparison to the applicants means, and given that no compelling reasons for the trip have been displayed, the visa officer is not satisfied of your intentions to leave the state following your visit.

OC:- observe the conditions of visa - the visa sought is for a specific purpose and duration:- the applicant has not satisfied the visa officer that such conditions would be observed.
SP:- gaps in education or employment not accounted for. No evidence of education or employment since June 2013

Vicjustice, for that last one, I have not been employed nor went to school during this period so please what do I do because I need to appeal...... A reply would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much

dammy09:



thanks for the response,
the thing is i can explain but how to proof the source is my problem as i help a course mate collect money through my account as she is having a problem with hers and the id card she wanted to use to correct her account is not ready. So her hubby has sent her money through my salary account three times this month (just five thousand naira each time). Now i want to apply for Italian visa but there is no place to give such explanation on the form or how do i prove such. Thank you.

tzetzefly:


#5,000 is such an insignificant amount. It shouldn't affect your application.

Hi guys, just wondering if anyone has asked for a review of a visa refusal to the UK and how long it took? Whats the chances of success?
My partner had his visa refused three times now and each time for very different reasons. The general theme though is they doubt on probability that he will return to Naija!!! How to prove that?
He has seen a lawyer back home and I have asked the Home Office for a review.
Thx guys....

Good day friends. Please I want information regarding applying for UK visa. In 2005, I applied for UK student visa and was rejected. I appealed the decision and lost the appeal. I want to reapply for a student visa using the new e-passport with same name and but different date of birth. I have used my new passport to travel to South Africa, Senegal and Ethiopia. I also have a valid kenyan tourist visa. Please I want expert advice if I need to answer yes to the question " Have you been rejected entry to the UK"? since I will be using a different passport with same name but different date of birth.

managingpartner:
@ vicjustice, i applied for a UK visa in May 2014, but i was refused a visa because my invitee used a signature that was different from the one on his bio data page. To be candid, i never saw the difference until it was pointed out. All effort to make him sign his real signature did not end well. The visa officer said that the signature does not look authentic. I want to re apply but i want to use another friend of mine. What are my chances? Thank you.

A colleague of mine is in a conundrum . He got admission to study Masters in Austria, and also on company sponsorship. Since company policy rejects the use of company bank accounts for staff welfare, the money is usually transferred into the account of the Welfare Manager, who is also his Uncle. 3 million Naira was transferred prior to his application . The Alien Office at Austria contacted him through their Embassy in Nigeria, that he has to show more financial proof. He sent them a bank statement of 3 months ( that's d rule, not 6 months ), closing balance of 2.1 million Naira . He is worried about his chances of getting his permit!
@ all, I will like to hear from you all!

@ worry359, vicjustice et al

pls help with this, if there is money inflow into one's salary account apart from one monthly salary , can that cause a problem if one wants to apply for visa. Thanks

Vicjustice:
There would be no problem if the monies are from legitimate and verifiable sources

Vicjustice:

What are your circumstances like, and on what ground are you appealing the decision?

Vicjustice:

Doesn't your "colleague" know how to use the internet himself?

Ruggedbaba:

It is distasteful and your reply leaves a sour taste in the mouth because it is clear that you didn't read my post.
My firm only send local staff to study at Gubkin,Russia or TU Clausthal, Germany. He got admission on his own at Austria,hence he is pursuing it , without backing from the Legal Department.
So, if you can't make a positive comment, it is more matured to let it slide.

justwise:


Can you list the documents he submitted and his salary scale?

Vicjustice:

I read your post and i got the contents. But the question remains: why are you the one striving for your "colleague", doesn't he know how to use the internet himself? I don't see what is offensive in what i wrote except that you feel i shouldn't point out the non-existing person that you put into the picture

Ruggedbaba:

I repeat that you didn't read the post. You are implying that I am lying or posting under false pretense! I will hide from who? Has any one on this thread ever paid for my vacation? He is going for his second Masters degree.Perhaps, you want me to post his name and citation from Imperial College, London,then , we can ascertain who is the illiterate! Everyone on this thread as well , does not know how to use the Internet because by your understanding and logic,a person who knows how to use the Internet will not bother to be on this thread, all he has to do , is to Google it! Gluckauf!

peculiar2000:
I do not really know why we were denied but she used this statement 'why Miami ' , we want to apply again next year what do you think we can do?.... Thanks for your reply

Vicjustice:


Somehow, I suspect that the reasons for the refusals are related to the lack of geographical knowledge of American states locations and your declaration of your places of interest and activities as compared to your intended port of arrival and accommodation details.
The USA is way bigger than the whole of West Africa, and though, Miami is in same west coast with New-york, but the distance from New-york to Miami is further than the distance from Lagos to Abidjan in the Ivory-Coast.
Miami can not just be a reason, you didn't state the obvious reasons for previous and current refusals.
Please, provide details and I'll be happy to guide you through on how to make it successful... depending on whether you fulfil the requirements.
