Vergil: Haba,
justwise, guys...My question.
What y'all think?

I'd write it out again......

Right, guys, have an enquiry to make here.
Trying to advice a mate of mine, but I'm not sure of what advice or answer to give him, with regard this. His questions are the (*) (for quick read)

He is an overstayer, he has a british girlfriend, he deffo loves, from what we can see. Waay more than Kitty whipped 2bh.
Anyway, we've all asked him, why not marry his gf instead. They've been 2gether, at least 5yrs. Anyway, he says, he doesn't want to risk leaving the country. So, now it seems the gf actually wants this and its become more than a case of sorting his "papers" out.

*Now, after much research, he asks, what could happen to his degree if he applies for a spouse visa in Nige and he uses it to prove he's exempt from the english language requirements? Could it get seized or discredited if he submits it with his app?
I said, he could always use a certified copy. (Am I right here? Think I am).

*Also, he says he has received, P60s in the past, which means he has worked. How? Haven't asked. But, can the home office consult with other govt. bodies to actually find out about this?

Based on research we've done, and based on what he has told us, it seems paragraph 320(11) is the worry here.

So, what y'all think? Did we also do a good job by preventing him frm paying money to lawyers when the internet is available?

Phemmyrans: justwise, i am grateful for your response,,keep it up..but i wanna ask,why is the processing takes so long,what is the verification process,how many people works on asingle application before judgment is been passed,who passed judgment? hope to read from you asap

maninmood: @Justwise, vicjustice, others:

I would like to make an inquiry regarding 3 important things. I would appreciate your timely reply.

1. I am on the verge of transferring 5,000pounds out of the 10450pounds tuition fees. I am currently out of Nigeria at the moment. I have a friend (He's not my sponsor) that owns a Euro domiciliary account, and I have asked him to transfer the money for me. The question is, is the step OK? Or does it contradict any of UKBA rules?

2. Can I apply for the student visa online? Is this the right link? http://www.visa4uk.fco.gov.uk/ApplyNow.aspx

3. Is there any photographer at Ikeja visa application center? Reasons: I do not want to make any mistake regarding the regulations behind the passport photograph.

I will be grateful if this could be proferred with good response. Thank you so much.

philipin7: And pls must my bank statement only reflect my salary coming in? Can i put in money i get from my husband and show western union receipts as proof.

Your friend has two choices . . .go back to Nigeria and get married to his gf or live in the UK for 14yrs before applying for a stay.

As for the issue of HomeOffice finding out if he works, of course they can if they want to, that wouldn't be a problem to them. He can waste his money paying a lawyer, after many years of appeals he will beg to be deported.

ifyjay: Vicjustice thanks,

1. u see the thing is am so attached to my son and reluctant to leave him behinde.if my husband is able to adopt him,will it make the whole process less complicated and will the visa be granted us.(i have made inquiries about adoption and it can be done legaly in line with d hague convention,without d biological father, if he is not in the picture).

2. Can i apply for family visit visa with my son to visit my husband and come back?can my husband be our sponsor for that category? what are our chances then?

philipin7: Good day all, i stil didn't get a response, so i will state my case again and i would really appreciate your advice

i work as a receptionist and i earn 45k monthly and have 500,000naira and i am entitled to 2 weeks paid leave. My husband is british and has about 6,000 pounds in his savings to sponsor me for a 6 months visit. My question is

Is it ok for me stay for 5 months in the uk and state in my application form that i will stay for two weeks so that will correlate with my leave letter

Do i stand a good chance of getting the visa, (no kids to show family ties)

Omo_Tier1:
First, did your husband at any point in time have anything to do with the West midlands police? If yes, then He needs to start the clean up from there. If you appeal, the Judge will look at the facts presented by you& your husband and the HO Solicitors. Knowing how despicable the HO Solicitors are in their attempt to convince judges even with outright falsehood, then your best chance of winning to to get the miss-up (if any) by West midlands police cleared otherwise the Judge will rule on the evidence of facts before him or her!

I am sorry your case is one of the fears people expressed about UKBA/HO's ability to handle biometric data and many more people are already having their finger print mixed up without them knowing!

philipin7: Pls can someone explain to me why it is asked in the visa application form if one gets financial assistance from relatives and they also request in the form for us to state the frequency at which thess financial assistance received.

I think this is a trick question and i want to be careful with what i fill in there.

Thanks

philipin7: na wa o no response, ok i'll keep on asking.

Pls in the application form where it is asked "How much is available for your trip" what do i fill.

philipin7:
My husband is taking care of all expenses, so are they asking for how much is available for my flight fare or for the whole duration of my stay.

shooqueen: Help, yet again! You may remember my husband’s visa refusal because his biometric details (fingerprints) had been linked to someone else’s name. Well having contacted the police in the fingerprint department the data protection unit various solicitors and my local MP we finally got somewhere. My MP forwarded this email:


**Thank you for your email of 6 June on behalf of Mr XXXXXXX about his entry clearance and his biometric details.

The Entry Clearance Manager has confirmed that the incorrect report has been linked to Mr XXXXXXX application and quoted in the refusal notice. This error has been rectified and the application will require reconsideration.

The Entry Clearance Officer will contact the applicant today, or as soon as possible, to acknowledge the error and in order for him to present the required documents needed to re-assess the application.**


This letter was dated 13th June and we still have heard nothing, on the 21st June I contacted my MP again still no-one has been in touch they have my husband’s address, email and telephone number can anyone tell me how long it will take?

If we thought it was going to be this long we could have just made a fresh application 2 weeks ago!
Does anyone have Mr Jason Ivory’s email address? Maybe contacting him directly will have more of an effect

lucio2012: hello house. pls i want to renew my u.k visa which expired 2009 and it was a 2yrs visa, can i go straight and apply for a 5yrs visa? considering the fact dat my e passport expires next year february? and since my visa expired 3yrs ago. thanks
