Vicjustice: The 10 years ban regulation might not have been in place in 2007 so you were not banned then, but you will get the ban when you apply again as long as the period between the time that you committed that fraud and the time that you are making reapplication is within 10 years: so, the misrepresentation and the false documents will definitely count against you. Your matter is complicated, it would be an uphill struggle to get a UK Tourist/Visit visa with the record against you

hailolive:
So what kind of Visa would be appropriate to apply for. I would not want to apply if my chances are slim.
Your suggestion is appreciated

Vicjustice: Well, i know it hurts to be in this situation, but the reality is, you are allowed to apply for a visa as many times as you wish, but you can't get a visa of any category when under a ban

hailolive:

Of any category? i heard it doesnt affect Student Visa or settlement.

It doesnt hurt. It only sheds light

justwise:
it affects student visa big time, but if you are married to a British or EU citizen and apply for spouse visa then you stand a chance.

ti-ebe:
I don't know if i should open a new thread for this or if its ok for me to just ask this here. there are some countries that one can visit using UK visa. they are called British tourist territories or so. I'd just like to know if one has to do anything special to go there apart from getting the uk visa.

hailolive:

Alright. Many Thanks

LAstly. Would i be able to apply for a family visit visa or only spouse visa

Phemmyrans: justwise,Good afternoon in here, i am just signing in here newly, pls,i need an advise on my Uk visa application, i have submitted 2weeks now,just today is the 10th working days,i do track it everyday,but the response is that it has been forwarded to BHC, they havent contact my friend who is inviting me,also my office,pls,what could cause that,advise me on what to do,my leave starts on july 5.

dilahel: You guys are doing a fantastic job here. After reading through the thread I did learn a lot about filling the uk visa application and I got my visa yesterday,after been denial a visa in 2010. I want to say a big thank you to Justwise who replied me when I asked for help. This is a tip to those who are going to visit a family member in the uk but staying in a hotel, do fill the general visit form and not the family visit form, I made the same mistake when filling my application and wasted close to an hour and half because of that mistake at the visa application centre.

ifyjay: @justwise,vicjustice and Adebyte,u are doing a great job.this is my first post here and its quite impressive.with guys like u we dont need travel agents.Assist me with this pls;i applied for a gen visitors visa in july 2011,i used my fiance's(not officialy)mum's biodata,utility bill and invitatn letter,we thought we had a better chance because shes elderly and we were not married.my bros in nig was my sponsor with his biodata,s/ment of acc and letter to the embassy.we were denied anyway.

ifyjay: My man came to nigeria in dec of the same year and we got married.(he is a british citizen and lectures in one of the universities in uk).Meanwhile the eco cited in the letter of refusal that on a balance of proabilities,my economic circumstances were not as stated,i had no payslip.there was disparity in d s/ment of acc i submited and what i stated in the form as my earnings.this is because i am self employed and some of my earnings do not pass through my acc.i wanted to be as honest as possible in my application.

ifyjay: i have since then gotten employment in a company,though my pay is not up to 100k,i still do some jobs on the side.

ifyjay: I must mention i have a son from a previous marriage whom my husband intends to adopt.What are all the options my son and i have in joining my husband in the uk.?

ifyjay: is my s/ment of acc still relevant to our application now that i am married?

ifyjay: does my husband need to adopt my son in order for our application to be granted?

ifyjay: do i need a letter from my employer,payslips,leave letter,employment letter and all the works?Pls ur kind response will be appreciated.Thanks in advance

ifyjay: thanks vicjustice for your prompt response.
1.My fiances mum sent me an invitation letter,she was the friend i was going to visit,so she also sent the biodata page of her passport and utility bill as required.

ifyjay:
2.the document was not tampered with.some earnings i receive in cash,i spend before it gets to my account.when i filled the visa form i stated i earn between 70-150k,which is d truth.but most of the time it doesnt all get to my account,so the account s/ment was a bit different.so the disparity.

ifyjay:
3.i didnt even know my self occupation was irrelevant.

ifyjay:
4.right now my husband cannot afford the fees for spousal visa,but we need to be together in the same space.we have been apart for almost 6mths,its tough.

ifyjay:
5.my son is 10,so he is still under dependancy status.

philipin7: Pls i will like to find out if council tax statement can be submitted bering the landlord's name or my sponsor's name. My husband is my sponsor and presently he lives in a room in an apartment of which he pays his rent to the owner of the apartment and when he went to the council tax office in the uk he was told that he needs to get a double room or a flat before the council tax document can come in his name. He intends getting an apartment in September and we will apply for a 6 months visa in December.

My question is do they request for council tax statement covering the sixmonths and other tax document is needed to support the coucil tax statement

ifyjay: Thanks vicjustice

Like how long would i need to to be in the Uk before i can send for my son to join us?

reloaded11: Good Morning,
I need an urgent response to my questions.....I have applied for UK visa last year and i was refused 2 times (August and September)The first reason was that i forgot to list our second uncle details in the section where they ask "Do you have any other relatives in UK".
The second reason was that my brother does not have enough money to sponsor our trip because we are both traveling together and he has 5 years valid UK visa which will expire in 2014...Now i am planing to re-apply for a tourist visa as my brother now have like 1.2 million in his account and the account was well ran and we are still traveling together in august this year...My question is: Is it possible to apply for tourist visa because none of our 2 uncle is available to send new invitation letter....Please i need an advice from you guys and tell me what documents to provide when applying for the tourist visa and my chance of getting the visa this time around.
Hope to read from someone as soon as possible.
Thanks

reloaded11: Thanks for the response and indeed acknowledge your message....Yeah am an adult but just 24 and am in my 3rd year in university and to be sincere i will be coming back to home to conclude my education...But i will need more advice and i would not mind some else can contribute to this ..
Thanks

Vergil: Don't think you need to put ur husband account as what's available for your trip. Are you working? Earning any income? Get money Occasionally from Friends and families? Put that in. But don't drop a large sum of money in the account suddenly and submit that statement.
