They simply used the 1st application payment to buy loads of TomTom sweets.....


NB: I think (I might be wrong).......

Teeaas:
I did my masters in international law from unI verity college london. I think the mistake I made was putting in all my qualification in the application as English language requirement.i.e law school, call to bar, llb,diploma all in law.also I included details of a uk professional exam I am doing.so maybe the Eco just assumed they were all from nigeria.
Also there were lots of typographical error in the refusal letter indicating the Eco did not farabala (take hid/ her time)
Also I had at a point a uk residence permit, 5 year uk visit visa presently which expires next year. I have been visiting my husband since we got married but never stayed up to 6months on each visit.
This time around I only included the masters certificate and letter from naric saying since I have a uk masters degree I don't need it assessed by them again.
So please I need to know is, will priority payment for reapplication of settlement visa be treated as priority or standard.
Thanks

Not sure how this is possible as a degree in Uk can be used as your English requirement . Which my wife did and it was no issue.>

Teeaas:


I applied 20th of November. Was denied 1st of December. I have since reapplied. I reapplied exactly a month ago using priority.
I think you should start looking for ticket to Uk. ...all zee best to us.

Teeaas:


Only one reason. Eco said I didn't meet English language requirement. I included my masters certificate which I obtained from a top uk university and yet Eco said I didn't meet the requirement when the appendix fm immigration rule clearly states that it is a way of proving English language eligibility. My spouse and I could have clearly appealed the decision but we do not have luxury of time.
Let's just be prayerful that oloriburuku Eco will not attend to our case o.

Well a lot of people doubt when I say this. Also like I said before, let just pray that a stupid ECO does not handle ones case. I included the original. I had called Naric while I'm the uk and they told me o didn't need to further access my certificate.it was a very painful one. The Eco just did rubbish.

Iko5000:
I wish you can sue as this is plain stupid . The ECO definitely does not know thetir work.

Yes , you are wrong ! Smiles �. Sadly � , he had to pay twice for the application. ... The refusal happened really quick and within 11 days or there about ...

I tink the ECO are poorly trained. I was rejected cos they said my husband is not a british citizen. Now am I stupid to apply for a spousal visa wen my husband is not a citizen. Hmmm. His passport was there and birth cert too. It ws even amongst the documents they returned back to us. How the stupid person missed it, I don't know. Apparently the person did not check well. Also on the page 9 of my online application Form, I stated his status and also his passport number and all. My people that is how these pple rejected me ooo. And the worst of all is that I only have right of appeal. I cnt reapply aagain. I was angry initially bt wt do I do? Good thing is that I av appealed online and sent supporting docs to them via the email they provided, bt i hear it takes a while. Hmmm that is my story. I wish everyone success and I pray a competent ECO who has the sense to pay attention to details handles ur application .

Lexusgs430:


Apart from appealing, I think you need to escalate to anyone higher.
Possibly a letter to the home office, home office minister etc etc etc (copy all the copyables) (if such a word exists).....

Your case can be deemed as gross misconduct and negligence, on their part. Express your anger in the letter how incompetent the case worker was (you might get your appeal expedited and possibly small compensation).....

spiceymma:

Thanks @Lexusgs430. It's really so so annoying. Any leads on how to go about it? Emails or p.o box number for us to write whilst the appeal is on? I would deeply appreciate.

Hi.... actually I think you should sue the ECO or Home Office as a whole when you get to the UK for that stupid decision.... your UK University certificate is absolutely enough to cover your English language requirement.... never seen or heard of a case where they deny based on that before. Please sue them.

Am really sorry for the denial something similar happened to me.1st application was a mess hubby was too busy with his exams so didn’t really put everything required so we appealed 2months after we got an email with my court date after all the overtight bundle we sent we actually included everything they wanted and this was with the help of a solicitor .till date I can’t really say what they did with my bundle because my hubby was with his solicitor when he sent it off.i actually mounted pressure on hubby he resubmitted the bundle to them with a cover letter saying that we have addressed all their concerns .within 10days decision was overturned visa issued within 7 days.the only thing we lost was appeal fee.this people are human beings and am sure they would have overturned the decision if you appealed it they had no reason to deny you in the ist place.wish you all the best

For people who studied abroad, are you supposed to send your degree certificate?

peejay25:
Hi, I am working on my application. I need to know at one point the option to pay for priority comes up. I am at the pay for visa application and my total is stating $2051 without the priority fee.

Also if i am employed, am i supposed to submit my employment letter, payslips, etc.

It's simply UKBA's method of inflicting punishment. Do you know your local MP?
Get your local MP to intervene.........

Teeaas:


You do not get to pay for priority on the visa4uk website. It's called PSS- priority settlement service. You can pay for it on the TLS website upon registration. Go to Value Added Service and scrollto find it. It's 551 pounds.

Also regarding your certificate, if it is a UK certificate, include the original provided it is either a bachelor, master or PhD. Certificate from institutes like professional courses will not suffice.

While filling the form online, if you filled employed, I feel it is pertinent to provide such evidence.

Please take your time to arrange the documents properly, get originals and don't overlook ant important doc.
