You should note that because this application for entry clearance has been refused under paragraph 320 (7a)of the immigration rules, any future application may also be refused under paragraph 320 (7b) of the immigration rules, (subject to the requirements set out in paragraph 320 (7c).
A refusal under paragraph 320 (7b) of the immigration rules attracts an automatic refusal period of up to 10 years. The period starts from the date of the previous events in which the deception or submission of falsified documents or information was employed.
I have therefore refused your application because I am not satisfied on the balance of probabilities that you meet all of the requirements of relevant paragraph of United Kingdom immigration rules.
Your right of appeal is limited to the grounds referred to in section 84(1)(c)of the nationality, immigration and asylum act 2002(www.lehislation.hov.uk).

Please I need your advise.

My sister and her 2 children wants to travel to the uk for a visit/tourism.

I live in the uk and happy to provide a letter and proof of address to confirm that I will be accommodating the. During their stay. Can I check that's enough . I want to include my council tax bill, letter and proof of ILR

Her husband will be fully sponsoring the trip. He has a business registered in Nigeria . But he won't be travelling with them. My sister is more like a house wife now as she is looking after their young children. But I gather her name is on the company registration as deputy director.

My question is what docs they need to submit please
Your advice will be highly appreciated . Please let me know if you have any questions

Hello house....greetings to you all....I would like to seek help with regards to my family's plan on applying for a uk visit visa by November to travel in December . Our case goes thus:

I have a valid USA visit visa, previously stayed in the us for 4years on student visa, just got back from the US about 3months ago. I have been to Canada twice (all evident in my passport) My hubby has not travelled out before. He is just planning on visiting SA. He had been denied usa visit visa on previous passport. Our infant is a US citizen. I have not worked this year as I lost my job last Dec due to downsizing. I was earning 420k gross. Could not get back to work as I was pregnant. Would most likely be starting a job in Oct. I have mybiz registered since Dec '15 but no income yet as I had not done anything due to birthing. Hubby currently earns 200k net and our acct is abt 2.7m. We plan on spending a week in Dec just for hols as we plan to be back in time for my family's visit ( my mum and sisters who are us citizens are visiting naija). I elaborated this as I have the ffg questions:
1) Is there a chance of my travel history and baby's US citizenship being a positive thing in getting our visa
2) Can we apply with hubby solely as sponsor and I as housewife ( or 1months salary if all goes well and i start a job in Oct), is his income & bank balance solid enough
2b) Would hubby's travel history and previous usa visa denial be a deterrent ?
3) I have an uncle who is a British citizen, does he need to send us an invitation letter?
4) Our budget is £2000, would this suffice for 1week with possible stay in hotel if we go non-invitation route
5) I am confused, do we include our baby on the application since she doesn't need the visa ( Neither hubby nor I have ever applied for uk visa so we do not know the format)

Sorry if some of my questions sound silly, it's 'novice syndrome' and sorry abt d million and one questions. Thanks in anticipation.

Hello house

I got denied US visa last year and now want to apply for UK visa. as there isn't any stamp on my passport when the denial was issued , do I have to declare it please.

Just don't want it to cause any issues for me.

Thank you for your advice .

Nothing to worry about, US has always been fair to applicants by not putting any stamp on their passport,you do not need to declare to the UK high commission, except is a serious offence like terrorism or deportation,aside from that you are good to go

ladylco:
Please its best he declare, I have a close person suffering for a similiar case as this

Hello all,

@justwise

I am a male and did a legal change of name (change of Surname) a few years back but just concluded the change of name on my passport last week. My UK visa on my other passport is still valid, can i still travel with both passports and just show my change of name documents at the airport or do i have to transfer the visa to the new passport since the name on the Visa is my old name.

justwise:

That is perfectly sensible thing to do

Solatium:


You stand a fair chance of obtaining a visa with all these,you do not need to lie about your employment history,include your previous letter of employment and retrenchment,include your business registration documents,include the photocopy of your child's birth certificate,the copy oh his/her passport,your wedding certificate....let your hubby travel to SA as planned,i don't think you have any issue here.just come clean on your application

thezionite:


thanks @Justwise

Another thought: what if i travel with the old passport and old visa since they are both still valid( until the visa expires) and then going forward i can apply for a new visa with my new name on the new passport and cancel the old passport. Dunno if this makes any sense

Hi peeps..my hubby just got his passport back today with his 2years visa in it..I want to specially thank every one for their inputs especially justwise,frontpagelawyer,vicjustice and everyone that responded when I asked my questions. God bless so much...one love guys

justwise:


Really? So what will be the answer when he is asked if he has been refused a visa to any country before?

damidamsel:


Tx alot for your response.... So u advise i add my previous employment letter, retrenchment and payslip despite being over 9months ago. Do i explain this in a cover letter? Also do u think the 2.7m is good enough or do we wait and build the acct higher? Tx once again

kakunze:
He failed to disclosed his previous visa refusal and he was denied visa for withholding info

Solatium:


Everyone knows retrenchment is real and people lose their job due to one reason or the other, it is to indicate that you were productive under an employer but you were retrenched and you have also founded a business of. yours,which is fair.the essence of including your past work documents is to cover for those periods that you returned from US and founding your own business,besides those info is not harmful to your application....the 2.7m should be sufficient for two adults and a toddler for a few days holiday,but if you have means of adding to it,why not?

justwise:

1. Yes its an added advantage.
2. Nothing wrong with that but at his current salary, exchange rate and cost of flight ticket during xmas period £2000 may not be enough.
2b. Not really as long as he is honest about it.
3. Yes if you will be staying with him.
4. No it will not.
5. Yes you have to because she will add to the budget.

Solatium:


No of course, since there is no stamp on her passport and am cork sure data are not exchanged between the two countries for visa refusal, except in a situation where an asylum had been claimed fraudulently somewhere or a case of serious crime lime terrorism.

kakunze:
Hi justwise, I checked my email, am yet to get your reply, please respond

justwise:


You shouldn't say you are sure of what you are not actually sure about.

Its really bad idea to encourage somebody to lie on visa application.
