passionup11: Hello guys,
I want to commend you gurus on the job u guys are doing here. Months ago I sought enquiries on whether a visa could be issued to me bearing in mind my circumstance then. I had been an over stayed in the UK my visa and had misrepresented facts when I reapplied and was denied 3 times. I had enquired whether with my situation, I would be given a visa under my circumstance. I was told by so many people that I had been banned for 10 years and I shouldn't even try to apply. Kindly note that I had served my 1 year ban as an overstayer. Some knowledgeable person said I will be throwing my money into the bin if I continue applying. I was distraught but I wasn't defeated when it comes to trying. I was nominated by my organisation for a course mid year in the UK.
I had to put in an application. Luckily , I was given a visa. Upon arrival at Heathrow, I was delayed for about 30 mins but was allowed to go in after clarifications/investigations inside their office. I went for my training and left. I learnt my lessons. what lessons did I learn? my viewpoint to situations like mine is that its not every misdemeanour that you commit that attracts 10 years ban. People must be able to assess their infractions and give an application a try. I learnt a lot here and I used the information I got from this forum to fill my form and state my situation in the space for additional information and explained in clear details every bit of my situation and I think that apart from God in situations like this, my explanation would have aided my application.

I can't remember the case you are referring to and the particular post, this is your first post here and this ID was registered about 3 weeks ago.

New here. Unfortunately I received a visa denied. Maintenance funds the reason. Adding up the fees I need to show is twenty three thousand pounds and I have 28 thousand pounds. The problem was twenty two thousand pounds of my money was in treasury bills.

justwise was that wrong I want to make an appeal but appeal says I shouldn't attach any other information. I want to attach extra papers showing the treasury bill has been running for over a year.

No you are not allowed to add supporting document, the ECM will only review the same document you submitted during your application and your review statement.

larrymoore111: The amount is definitely more than enough, but the money is not the main thing that the visa officer is interested in, they rather like to look into the origin and how the fund was built up, they are also interested in what you do and how you plan your activities: just ensure that you meet the general requirements[/quote

Is she visiting family member?

No, Justwise> She has friends and distance relatives in other parts of the UK not London. She wants to visit only for long time no see. She retired in 2006 and has travelled to USA and UK numerous times since then but this is the first time she is renewing her UK since the 5years visit visa expired in 2010. She earns good pension from her former employeers and has properties and shops wher she earns rental income.

Ok, her list is good.

What was the maturity date of the treasury bill?

Exactly... Maturity date was 15th August. I applied for the visa 29th August. The day the certificate was printed was 16th July.
So I was thinking they would see it as money lodged in 16th July and kept till 15th August


Or was I wrong. I appreciate your input.

That is the most important date, that is when the money is free for use.

You started counting the 28days too late and running short of time before sending in your application

Thank you Justwise

Hello. I'm a Serbian residing in Cyprus which has been refused entry to the UK because of not showing strong ties to my country and not providing enough financial data. Ive sent my savings account booklet but they haven't even attempted to read it (it has 3000pounds). I'm a temporary resident of Cyprus although i was born here. The only thing i have under my name is a car and i will be supported by parents during my trip.
I'm currently unemployed, finished high school last year. What other documents can i send to be accepted this time? How can i prove my ties to Cyprus?
P.S i have already booked and payed for flights and accommodation because i found them cheap and the trip is going to last 4 days only
and i also have 2 Cypriot friends traveling with me, can they be used as any form of guarantee of my return to Cyprus?

I understand your point. However I plan on packaging a review, where I explain things. So please can I send an email or I have to mail physical papers? And do I just send the review documents or I should send my passport and all other credentials I used for earlier application?

Thanks

You can do both if you want but you are not allowed to send passport or any other credentials along with it, just the review form, if your review is successful you will be asked to submit your passport for visa.

What did you submit as source of the money in your account?

You may have to cancel your ticket and hotel booking for the main time

Has anyone booked an appointment recently? This is the response I got now when I tried booking.

Na wa o. How do you guys make payment na? Someone should pls guide me.

I booked an appointment some days ago and it went. Maybe you just need to keep trying. Cheers.

ace101: I booked an appointment some days ago and it went. Maybe you just need to keep trying. Cheers.

I have eventually booked an appointment. Now the problem is making payments. It keeps saying my payment is unsuccessful. Is there another option for payment?

IyawoToBe: I have eventually booked an appointment. Now the problem is making payments. It keeps saying my payment is unsuccessful. Is there another option for payment?

I think the payment can only be done online. Maybe its network issues.

For source of money i submitted a saving booklet under my name, the cover was in greek so he didnt even bother openning it.
Do i have stronger chances if i reapply with all the extra information above + my parent's bank accounts since im dependent on them

Having money in your account is not good enough you still need to show how you earn that money. It will be a lot easier if you work or ow a business.

Your parents can sponsor you if you are under 18 years of age but as an adult it's going to be difficult.

You guys should be able to pay through payga.

When paying, you have the options to pay through mastercard, visa, payga etc. Just chose payga
Though they charge a little bit more
