Vicjustice:

   It would help if you can provide answers to Justwise' question.
  Anyway, it is difficult to say whether he'd been place under a ban or not;  But if however he lied (in writing) about his financial circumstance, he would be on the category of those providing misleading information in an "attempt to obtain the UK visa by means of deception", and as a result, his fate depends greatly on the discretion of the Entry Clearance Manager (ECM) who is empowered to either enforce the 10 years ban or pardon his action depending on how serious he considers the deception to be.
  Now, the fact that he wasn't given the (full) rights of appeal does not mean that he's under a ban, it simply means that his (refused) application did not attract such rights on categorical grounds.
  Should he wish to make future application, I'd advise that he requests to know whether his is eligible or not, the embassy should advise him on his position.

Very important point.

Thank you Vic and Justwise. He didn't submit any pay slip, he stated on the form that he earns 200,000 which is his salary before tax but the ECO said the amount that goes into his monthly account is not consistent with the amount he claims he earns.

Nairalanders,

Please i need your advise on my new UK visa application. Previously (2010) i have apply to Norway for tourist visa but was refused base on the fact that am not married etc but now i intend to apply for UK visiting visa and i want to put in my best into the application.

2) Letter of grating of leave
3) 6 months payment slip

5) Hotel Reservation (Also to be included is places i like to visit during the visit  like tour of Cheasel FC stadium)

Thank you Vic and Justwise. He didn't submit any pay slip, he stated on the form that he earns 200,000 which is his salary before tax but the ECO said the amount that goes into his monthly account is not consistent with the amount he claims he earns.  

  I don't think he's under the ban since he can arguably defend his claim that the exaggerated or overwritten sum is from other undocumented source; trust me, these Entry Clearance Officers (ECO) are well familiar with Nigerian Labour Industry and the system of payment, remember, most people in Nigeria don't have their incomes documented: He can simply claim that he owns some minor business or does some other casual works.

Vic and Justwise, how can he find out if he's eligible to re-apply and if so, how long should he wait before re-applying?

Thank you so much for your advice, God bless you. What about the second reason the ECO gave saying my uncle said they're not related but family friends? How does he address that? Would that not be seen as deception?

   It is unfortunate that now-a-days, Nigerians can only apply for the UK visa through the embassy's Partner company that knows nothing about applicant's eligibility and as a result, he might need to make a gamble application which would then give him the opportunity to know his position.
But as i said earlier, i don't think he's under a ban, and to answer you other question, there's no time frame or regulation as to when a refused applicant can make reapplication, he can apply again any time

   But this is only a ground for refusal, and it's not at all deserving a 10 years ban. Besides. he definitely can argue it out by claiming that he was being traditional and that it is a tradition to refer to an elderly someone as an uncle. These people are also familiar with Nigerian's traditions.
   But why do you worry about this, the visa had been refused anyway.

Thank you so much for your time Vic. The reason I am apprehensive about this is because I live in the UK and I want to know if he still has a good chance if he chooses to re-apply. His mother and brother live here too and I was toying with the idea of him re-applying using them but based on the information you and Justwise have given me, I think he'll just re-apply addressing the ECO's reasons for refusal. Thank you again, God bless you both and answer you speedily in Jesus name.

i would like to know if i can put both tuition and living expenses in my own DOM account for 28days and submit or do i need to include my sponsor's bank statement too.

No u don't have to

The UKBA states that we can should apply for student visas no more than 3 months before school resumes, if my school resumes september, is it then safe to apply june 16/7th but not earlier, ? That is within 3months, isn't it?

If school resumes September 16th,

In that case u need to apply from July

For courses starting in September, you can apply for the course the same time like the rest of the student from anywhere in the world, which is 15th October 2010 for this year to apply for courses like medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine and veterinary science courses, this is the same cut off date to apply to Oxford and Cambridge University too.


By 15th of January 2011, all application should have been received, except if you are doing one of the Art and Design course whose deadline is 24th of March 2011.


Every other application received after this date is late, and if you submit 3 months to your resumption date, you will be enrolled alongside "clearing students" i.e. students who didn't make the grades and have to find another University, late applicants, etc.


The only keypoint is that "you cannot be issued" the visa until 3 months before your course start date, they cannot also post-date a visa more than 3 months, which I believe is the query you are after, so go ahead and apply in June.

Thanks for your responses @Justwise &Busy_Body, Busy_Body however got me confused with the extra information, School starts on the 16th of September and I plan on applying in june - june 16/17/18, That is within time of the acceptable 3months, right?

Oh now, I get it Busy_Body, I already have my admission. Was talking about the student visa,

Yeah I mentioned the student visa in the last paragraph in bold.


I think my mouth talk too much thats why

loool, sorry jare. school starts on the 16th of september and june 17th is within the 3months, isn't it? i don't want to apply in july because of the new rule of applicants signing an agreement that they will keep the money for maintenance and tuition in your account for the whole period.

^^^


Yeah, you can apply on the 17th of June.

I hope u don't learn the hard way, if ur school asked u to pay all the fees when u get the UK what would u do? You have proven to BHC that u have all the money and was given a visa, check this thread or the other UK student visa thread, somebody here got his knickers in a twist cos of this, his school requested for all the fees to be paid but he doesn't have it, so think long and hard abt this.

thanks busy_body,

so are you advising that I do not apply for this visa, justwise? june is far way from september and i will come up with something, just not in june,  i want the visa to get out of the way,  and for the record, a huge percentage of people pay instalmentally while in school. the guy you mentioned probably paid just the deposit and i have paid about half the tuition and will be adding more by september so please, don't discourage me.

thanks for looking out though,  you can send me the link of the guy who got caught up in the mess or the page number. thanks

My apologies. Good luck.

@justwise, don't get me wrong oo, i do appreciate all your help and advice - i have just made it clear that i will not have the money at the time i will be applying but will by september, maybe not the maintenance fees (which can be easily taken care of when i have started school) but definitely the tuition but i can't apply in september,

@nrd_geek, Were the documents you submitted with your application original or certified?

Those of you that used your personal accounts and got ur visas pls advice. Shud i include my sponsors account or would my personal bank statement be enough.
