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

shuli: Good day all. I am a silent reader of this forum. God will reward you all.
Please i have a challenge with my uk visa application.
My application was refused today based on discrepancy in my date of birth. Eco put it as: You have sought entry as a visitor for 14days, u have described yourself as banker employed by ****** bank since*****. U have declared your monthly income as N320,000,(1280Pounce) and have stated that you will meet the costs of this trip yourself. In support of your application you have submitted a Nigerian passport this confirms your date of birth as 30/01/1(****, however you have made previous applications to visit the uk at that time you had used date of birth 29/01/19***. you have not addressed this discrepancy in your date of birth, this casts doubts over your application, on the balance of probabilities, i am not satisfied that you are genuinely seeking entry as a visitor.
I actually applied for visiting visa in 2007 with DOB of 29/01 but the passport got lost with another country visa on it. I sworn an affidavit regarding that in which i submitted with my application. A mistake was made on my second passport instead of 29/01 it was typed as 30/01 and i used the new passport without addressing the discrepancy.
kindly advice on how to address the issue of discrepancy. Can sworn affidavit be done to prove my DOB as 29/01/** instead of 30/01/****?
Your urgent and kind advice will be highly appreciated before i re-apply. Thank you good people of Nairaland.

Is your cousin going to accommodate you? Are you paying tax from your business? Apart from the business account do you have savings account or other account that is not linked to your business?

Also reference letter from the employer has been taking by ECO, can i re-submit without reference letter from employer? thank U all for ur urgent response.

Both the reference letter and bank statement are 5weeks old. Also pls the original copy of affidavit for lost of former int'l passport was taking by the Eco. Do i need to re-do a fresh affidavit or i should just make a comment on it ? Your urgent reponse will be higly appreciated.

justwise:

You don't need to do another one, just make a comment to remind the ECO that they still have your original copy. You can still use the same bank account if nothing has changed.

DOMINION1:
@ vctrokoye i did not get u is he a business person u mean?

justwise:

He can send you a proof that he has adequate accommodation for you. . .tenancy agreement for instance or mortgage document and you need to sort out your tax for this year and submit both your business bank account and most importantly the savings.

NuNu08: yea he will send ♏ε̲̣̣̣̥ evrything i need...moi savings acc Ȋ̝̊̅§ also used for my ß̍̍̊usiness cus its a̶̲̥̅ provision store!! §ø ςα̲̅ñ i use Ȋ̝̊̅†??&

You have no other choice than to submit the account and give a detail explanation in your application form about the money in that account.

philipin7: Guys please i will like to know if ECOs keep records of forms filled in the past or just refusal letters. I applied for a family visit visa in 2007 and was refused. i was told that it is good to keep copies of these forms so when i am applying again i dont put in conflicting informations
