ifyjay: vicjustice hi,I still think u re doing good.u re being forthright with your answers,it might not be what we want to hearbut its for the best.we have decided that I should come for a visit first because of shortage of finanance for spouse visa.
Pls consider justwise response below.
In my case all the documents listed below are available but my statement of account cannot fly .will my visa application in this circumstances be determined mainly on my husbands statement of account or do i need to have a enough money in my statement of account? Thanks

SOTAJ: @Phillipin7, I really don't think vicjustice has ever been rude in any of his postings. The whole essence of the forum is to rub minds and share ideas because no single person has it all.
Though we may have divergent views or understanding about issues, we are supposed to be better for it at the end of the day.

I really think people like vicjustice should be appreaciated and commended for their inputs. Not everybody has the time to contribute even though we may have fair knowlede of visa application.

@Vicjustice, keep the good work going and don't be discouraged

beejaybida: VicJustice and JustWise, this is for you. Please be aware that you guys are fake agents/visa touts enemy number one due to all your assistance on visa issues. We are very grateful. Don't let them discourage you at all. That's what they want so that their market will come back. Please don't mind them else they win. Keep up the great work and God bless.

ololo12: @Vicjustice and Justwise.

Thanks for the good job you're doing on here. Just a quick question.

I applied for the first time ever, UK visa on the 3rd of March this year and got refused on the ground that I did not show prove of the amount in my bank account, with supporting documents like Payslip and tax clearance. I only included Tax clearance but did not include payslip. So I reapplied again with the required supporting documents asked of me. I got refused again on the ground that I said in my application that I earn 120k, and traveling to the UK 450k, including Ticket fare. Wwhich means I am going to be using all the funds in my account to travel to the UK, so therefore they are not convince that I am going to come back and on the probability of blah lah blah blah blah they have refused me entry into the UK. I have no clue why I was denied again. Could it be because I have a virgin passport, I don't know. Could you shed more light as to why I was refused bro?? Because of this I have sworn I am never going to reapply for UK visa, I am going to try US next year

justwise:
You are walking towards another refusal, only if you are ready to explain where that 600k came from with paper. evidence

vixen007: Hello guys, pls I need some help before applying for my Uk visa.

vixen007: As a single mum I get child support from my ex but not all is reflected in my account.

vixen007: I have some money in my account and can still build my account, plus my friends are willing to sponsor our trip.

vixen007: Can I present my savings account and my tax receipt even though its in my business name?

vixen007: I dnt have a business account yet. Would it contradict?

vixen007: Also what documents does my son need to accompany ♍ƺ? Would getting a letter from my son's school and paying his feesfor the coming term prove that we have ties in Nigeria and would be coming back after our visit? I have appliedfor a visa in 2007 and was turned down, I admit I made a lot of errors, now I want to do it right so pls help ♍ƺ. Thanks

sycamore: Please can anyone assist my brother.... Read the below reply during our conversation:

The embassy said Simere didn't disclose that she had teatment in uk d last time she went. So they refused granting visa and imposed a 10yr ban. But she wants to appeal. We didn't understand what they meant by medical treatment, so we ticked no in the form when applying, but they considered the antenatal simere had as medical treatment.....They said ticking NO was deceptive.


Concerning the above conversation, My brothers wife was denied Visa to go to the UK for her Convocation, she has decided to Appeal and she has just 28 days to appeal from 7th July.... Pls can any one Advise on the best course of action to take or refer a lawyer.... Thank u...

opsy4real1: Hello roomies,
please I need your opinion on my case.. I applied for UK student visa in 2007 and I was refused.....I wasnt given the right to appeal.. then in 2008 I reapplied again and also was refused...Now am intending to apply for a visit visa and am afraid if the past refusals would not affect my application on different category this time around. As at the time I applied for the student visas, I was unemployed and now i suppose my circumstances have changed and want to know if the past refusals would not be visited to affect me this time.

Kindly go thru this refusal notice....
The first Refusal:
The Entry Clearance Officer’s reasons and supporting evidence
In support of your application, you have submitted an Oceanic Bank statement. As a result of checks made by this office with Oceanic Bank, I am satisfied to a high degree of probability that this document is not genuine. The production of such documents undermines the credibility of the application and causes me to doubt your true motivation for this visit. In the light of this, I am not satisfied you are genuinely seeking entry to the UK as a visitor for a period not exceeding six months as required by Paragraph 41 (I) of HC 395. Nor am I satisfied you intend to leave the UK at the end of the visit as stated by you and as required by Paragraph 41 (ii) of HC 395.
The cost of your tuition, maintenance and accommodation is to be borne by your sponsor. Funding your education will impose an additional financial burden upon him and I am not satisfied that this increased financial outlay is commensurate with his current economic circumstances and that such funds will actually be available to you in the United Kingdom. Therefore I am not satisfied, on the balance of probabilities, that you are able to meet the cost of the course and maintain and accommodate yourself without recourse to employment or public funds. Paragraph 57 (vi) of HC 395.
The educational establishment in the UK has stated that the costs of your tuition fees are 1,170GBP. British Council guidelines suggest students require between 5,500GBP and 7,500GBP covering a nine-month academic year for maintenance and living expenses in the UK and his assessment is based upon 2004 prices. This brings the total cost of your studies in the UK for one academic year to 6,600GBP. Your sponsor’s financial documents do not satisfactorily confirm that you have sufficient funds to cover the cost of your studies in the UK and adequately maintain and accommodate yourself whilst there. Furthermore, I do not find it credible that your sponsor is willing to exhaust all of their savings to finance your studies in the UK. You have not satisfactorily demonstrated that such expenditure is commensurate to any benefits to be gained by your sponsor in doing so. Paragraph 57 (vi) of HC 395.


The second refusal.....2008

The Entry Clearance Officer’s reasons and supporting evidence
The UKBA provides information to visa applicants about the types of documents they will be required to produce so that they can demonstrate to the visa officer that they meet the requirements of the Immigration Rules. We advise applicants that the failure to submit such documentation may result in refusal of the application. This decision has been made on the basis of the evidence you have supplied. The onus is on the applicants to demonstrate that they meet the requirements of the relevant rules.
*You have declared that the information you have provided is complete and true to the best of your knowledge.
You say that you wish to go to the UK to pursue an MSC at London school of economics
You are unemployed. You already have a degree in economicsfrom 2005 and yet you have failed to secure any employment. You have failed to submit any evidence of your own financial circumstances. In an overall assessment of the credibility of the application, I am not satisfied the cost of these studies is proportionate to your current economic circumstances or that there are advantages you might derive from this course of study. I am not satisfied, on the balance of probabilities that you intend to follow the course. (Para 57 (ii))
Your application also falls to be refused under paragraph 320(7A) of the Immigration Rules:
Where false representations have been made or false documents have been submitted (whether or not material to the application, and whether or not to the applicant’s knowledge), or material facts have not been disclosed, in relation to the application.
You state that the cost of your tuition, maintenance and accommodation is to be borne by your uncle Mr. Ajala Oluwadamilola. As evidence of his means you have submitted two vehicle ‘Proof of Ownership’ certificates. As a result of checks made by this office (detailed in a document verification report), I am satisfied, to a high degree of probability, that this document is not genuine. The production of such documents undermines the credibility of the application and causes me to doubt your intentions in the U.K. In the light of this, I am not satisfied you intend to follow your proposed course of study in the UK. This further leads me to doubt you will ultimately leave the UK at the end of your proposed course of study in the UK. Paragraph 57(vi)
Following careful consideration of the documentary evidence provided, a am not satisfied on the balance of probabilities that you are able to meet the cost of the course and maintain and accommodate yourself without recourse to full time employment or public funds as required by Paragraph 57(viii).
Your right of appeal
You are entitled to appeal against this decision under section 82(1) of the Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act 2002. If you wish to appeal you should complete appeal form AIT-2, a copy of which will be given to you with this notice. A guidance leaflet is also enclosed which explains what to do.


Although I was not banned and now i wish to apply after 3 years of my last application ...hope I stand a chance cos I want o apply towards the olympics game.

If am able to provide my employment details and evidence of finances...I hope there wont be problems..Please kindly help wwith your candid advice

prayerful: Good morning everyone..

I'm a recent member to this forum (which I must commend for the relevant information/ advice given)

I came across this via google last night as I searched for info relating to applying for a Uk tourist Visa..

My story goes thus:

In sep 2007, I traveled to England for my Masters degree and graduated in dec 2008, in the same month, I got the Post Study Work Visa which is valid for 2 years.

But I moved back to Lagos in 2009 as I got a good job offer (back at the office where I initially worked before I went to school.. It was an advance in level/ salary)

Its an Oil n Gas company. In 2010, payment of staff salaries became irregular, some times up to 3 months before we get paid, sometimes when payment is made, its half of the salary.. On my employment letter/ contract, I earn 381,00 after tax n pension deduction.

Anyway, due to this situation, I became reactive in order to make up for unpaid wages. I sell brazilian jewelry n when I travel to the Sttates, I bring things back to sell (but this is not a registered business, just something to keep me going)

Now I've decided that I want to apply for a Uk tourist visa.. First thing, Is it ok to use my personal bank statement instead of salary account as inflows there are irregular and I don't want it to seem as if my Coy's having issues n I wanna leave the country.

Also, please could you explain what you mean by money lodgment? Cos I deposit/ make transfers from my savings to my current account (same bank) monthly, (usually a total of 200k- 250k each month as payment from what I sell)

Also, is it ok to use 3 months bank statement? I ask this cos I'd be travelling to Ny at the end of July to be back in August (hence, my account balance would reduce). The period of the Statement would be from Sep- Nov as I want to apply in Dec so I can go to England in Jan 2013.

I'd appreciate a response+ any relevant advice.

Thanks
