Afternoon my people,

I applied for UK visa this month and i was refused on the basis that:

1. I only submitted a photocopy of sister and my brother in-laws marriage certificate (My brother in law is my main sponsor whilst a family friend in the UK is my 2nd sponsor). The ECO said that they didn't believe the relationship between me and my brother in law as they could not verify the photocopied marriage certificate.

2. The bank account i showed for my 2nd sponsor (the family friend in UK) is overdrawn by £2k, though it has a monthly inflow and outflow of £15k-£20k. The ECO said the balance of the account being withdrawn meant that my second sponsor wouldn't be able to afford my Visit (even though his invitation letter only stated that he would provide accommodation and feeding, nothing else).

Anyway, i was not given a right of appeal as it was a visit visa. I was then told by my UK sponsor to write a letter of reconsideration and include the original marriage certificate. My family friend also sent his business bank statement for the last 6 months (not overdrawn) and also, his corresponding company registration documents.

My question to the house is this: Where or to whom do I hand in the letter of reconsideration, along with all the other documents to?

Do I have to go to the new visa office in lekki, or the BHC office at walter carrington (VI)?


Many thanks in advance for any help/answers received.

Hello Nlanders,
Pls i need a candid adv for my gud friend. He applied to UK embassy some years back about 7yrs ago, he was denied based on the fact that he was not financially buoyant, he didn't use any fake or forged documents though, he has relocated to europe and he is planning to visit uk, but he is afraid cus he has some complicating issues,
1. He applied as a married man then, ofwhc he is single now
2. There is difference in the birth yr he used then and the one he has now on his intl P.

The UK embassy havenot started biometric data then, so his fingerprints were not taken, The guy is willing to visit UK as a tourist now but he is afraid that the UK embassy might still have his old information on their database. Pls, can he still proceed with the application and do you think it won't cause him any problems if he decided to apply and fill the form that he has not applied before, do you think the UK consulars can easily detect his identity? Cus it's really complicating and there is nothing he can do to defend his earlier application cus the agent that helped him then cannot be traced anymore.
Your candid adv would be appreciated!

since his fingerprints were not taken 7yrs ago then he's good to go i think, cos if he applies to d uk now n d details he puts down on d uk visa forms are different from d ones he put down b4 e.g father's/mother's name, his name, d.o.b, wife's name, children's name, address, etc then like i stated b4, he's good to go. then write dat he hasnt applied b4, it isnt dat easy to detect dat way (dem ppl aint as smart or dumb as we think)

if sum/all of d details he put down now r d same wit d old ones then wahala dey oh

anywho goodluck

UK Visa Application ; No Visa Issuance, No Refusal Stamp & Letter

Help Me! Help Me!! Help Me!!!
I applied for visa renewal, I didn't over stay. I only used a month out of the 6 months visa(Business Visit) I had, when I came back to Nigeria I still had few months left on my visa which was last year Oct/Nov. I submitted my visa renewal on May 19 2010, and I got my application back July 28 2010. The confusing part was that my visa was no issued, no refusal stamp, no refusal letter, They only took my statement of account and they wrote "LAG, " at the last page of my passport, when I got my first visa, they wrote the same "LAG, " at the same page, but with different numbers. I'm not sure what to do, Securities won't let me in at British Embassy, they don't even listen to my complaint. Some people said, my visa was issued but the visa officer must have forgot to paste the visa sticker on my passport page. I'm apparently sure that I have no reason to be refused, PLEASE ADVICE!!!

Vicjustice:

Well, with the development of fingerprinting and scanning technology, it might not be necessary for the UK embassy to stamp a passport after visa refusal. But, i don't think your application was refused, the UK embassy does not refuse visa application without issuing a letter to this effect, therefore, i'm of the opinion that the visa was approved, but the sticker wasn't applied as a result of human error.
I'll advice you to return to the British embassy and approach these rabid security staff in a calm manner and body language that they like to hear in order to give you the needed attention, then, you can explain to them the reason you call at the embassy, stressing that the visa officer had made an error. Actually, there would be nothing wrong if you sent a registered post addressing it to the office of the ECM (Entry Clearance Manager): Remember to attach photo-copies of the documented pages of your passport and your contact information. If you need further assistance, do let us know, i hope others contribute. Cheers

One more thing, my dad paid 1.8m in my account for maintenance. Do I still need a sponsorship letter from him? Lastly, my transcript is not in a sealed envelope. Do I need to get a sealed one addressed to BHC
