HELLO HOUSE,

A FRIEND OF MINE SUBMITTED HIS VISA APPLICATION ON NOVEMBER 24TH AT IKEJA VAC AND GOT A DECISION EMAIL 27TH NOVEMBER. HE COLLECTED HIS PASSPORT TODAY WITH THE VISA. HE SAYS THAT HE DID NOT PAY FOR PRIORITY SERVICE AND GOT A DECISION IN EXACTLY 3 DAYS. IS THIS POSSIBLE?

hello house,

please, will i be able to register an account and track my application on TLS website after my visa interview which was on the 19th of november. i dont have an account on TLS, does it really matter? will i still get email communicatiuon from TLS ? what can i do?

I really do appreciate your candid response, it has lifted some weight of my chest on this issue. God bless.

My apologies for the statement. I have only been granted US visa not refused so I assumed it is stamped as they do in UK. Yes, eyebrows will be raised by the UK ECO regarding your refusal especially if your reason for refusal involves discrepancies. You may think everything is in order but I can point a few things that do not appear as such. Your previous attempts to travel to US recently, was it for visit or study purpose? If it is for study then you stand a much better chance of convincing the UK Eco as it is in line with your present purpose of visit, however if it was in the tourist category then you are only raising suspicions regarding your real intention of visiting. The ECO may likely think you are trying all means to leave the country. If I was in your shoes, I will have applied for the same category of visa I choose in my US application or allow a period of at least two to three years before applying, that way I will appear more genuine. But all hope is not lost, use a letter from a lawyer to explain the US refusals in detail. Another way is just write a very detailed letter of purpose, if the refusals were not under study category(avoid mentioning it in the letter, as they can already see it in your form). Give reasons why you choose UK for study and the particular course, tell them your goal and how the course will help you actualize it. Make sure you tell them your intention to return to the country at the completion of your course(and pray your application is treated by an empathetic ECO).

The refusal is not on the passport- US embassy dont stamp a refusal to your passport. its just that when filling aout my UK application i indicated that i was twice denied US visa....what information may i detail in the letter. the purpose of my intended trip is to study, i already have a conditional admission offer and have paid deposit tuition fees and have a valid CAS statement... everything about my uk trip is in order, i'm just concerned about my past history with US immigration

The refusals in your passport will raise a bit of concern for the ECO, you can however clarify it by writing a detailed letter of explanation (a lawyer can also help in clarifying this in writing) you should also include a detailed letter of purpose for your intended trip. This is of course is to be done with the inclusion of all necessary required documents

Yes he did all these without my consent I only got to know about the details after he had secured interview appointment for, then I was mailed details to prepare for the interview. I knew about the fake details at a point were I had already committed funds to the endeavour.

justwise:
Are you trying to suggest that the agent does all that without your consent? You attended interview without knowing those fake details?

please, kindly advise,

I applied for and was twice refused a US visa in 2014, that application was completed by an agent who falsified information about my marital status, parents names and their date of birth. Including false information about my academic qualifications and work details stating that I am a field engineer going for a training seminar whereas I am a nurse. however, my biodata were correct.
Now, I am applying for a UK study visa to pursue a nursing degree and I am worried of my prevous records/experience with the US refusal since I have to state in my application that I was denied US visa in the past.

Will UKBA find out details about information supplied to US immigration?
what informoation will they share about applicants records?
