Hi everyone,

I applied for an entry clearance as a partner of a British citizen. My application was refused on 320 (11). The two main points made by the ECO are: overstaying the 6months limit and breaching the conditions attached to my leave by undertaking University degrees. There was no mention of aggravating circumstances in my case.

I moved to britain as a child, with my family, and stayed there for 12 years (I was granted a 10 year visit visa). The decision to settle down in the country was taken by my parent. I met my wife in 2014, a year before the 10 year visit visa expired. The the 10 year visa expired the year after (2015), and I moved out of UK in February 2017, at my own expense, without the home office having any knowledge of me overstaying, detaining me or forcefully sending me out. I married my wife in Nigeria, then we filed the app in April. My wife has lived in Britain all her life.

During the 10 year period, I undertook studies and gained two university degrees at a time when my visa didn't allow me to do so. However, I paid for the degrees, and never used student loan or any sort of benefit. I was able to enrol with utility cards and bank card, as I didn't have any other form of ID (driver's licence, residence card etc). Although I've met all the other requirements for the spouse visa, my application has been refused for 'contriving in a significant way to frustrate the immigration rules', without any mention of the aggravating circumstances attached to 320 (11), and I've been told that studying is not an aggravating circumstance. Also, the phrase 'aggravating circumstances' was not used in the refusal letter, although 320 (11) was used.


It may be important to state here that I have neither been involved in any criminal activity, nor benefitted from public benefits, during my stay in Britain. I also did not sought or partake in any form of employment during my stay in Britain.

I sent an appeal 2 weeks ago, with the help of a lawyer, and also got my MP involved, who has sent a letter to UKVI. What are my chances in this case? Can the decision be overturned before hearing? I'll really like to hear from you.

Hi everyone special thanks to justwise I have gotten my CAS letter, i had my maintenance cash intact but something private came up and as a result I had to restart the 28day deposit, so for now am counting days I want to ask about the priority visa application process am not cleared with the process am scared of using standard since my money would be ready on the 23rd of August and from the thread I have noticed that most people response is taking more than usually due to peak time. Secondly am I to sumit my bank statement during the online application process or after I indicate I want priority and I receive a confirmation mail then I can print out my bank statement a day to my interview. Please help I want to conclude my plan Abj on my mind. Thanks justwise and others who don't criticise my post and go out of their ways to respond. Information is power.

Boss UK is casted don't argue this. You're lucky ces you went early enough and got to stay back. I have a female cousin that's studied everything from Bsc to PhD in the UK and still battling citizenship and this year is her last. UK is bad news for study-citizenship anytime, anyday. No need sugar-coating shii

MmmS:
i showed this to someone I know and he googled tracking application status and when he entered his reference number he got an update even though he applied from outside the UK. Could it be possible that he got an update on an application for someone else who happens to have the same reference number who is applying from within the UK?

Bro you need to calm down , everything happens for a reason, they way u complaining of people tell you their story, you will kneel down and thank God. Personally this Australia hustle started for me in 2014, had to defer my admission twice because of some issues abandoned it ,then applied to another university in 2017, thinking this was my year but God knows best. Please free that UK matter you will surely come back empty handed, i know a lot of niggas with uk masters degree with distinction still staying in their pupsy's house for like 2 years , no job, the only thing that useless country has to offer is fine scenery to take pictures for instagram and snapchat. I encourage u to hold on , February is not really far , and you not the only one , lots of people have deferred to February too.

So, have been saving everything up for a very long time now.. And i think i'm ready now.. Buh i'm confused someway i'd actually prefer australia or canada.. Have been making enquiries for my friends on different threads here and i think it's about time i make a move too.. So have been able to get like 700k and i have all necessary documents at the go(ielts, intl passport) buh my ssce dated as back as june 2012 and i'm 25.. I'm actually through with some programmes here in Nigeria but this is still a decision i have arrived at so don't come here and start asking me jamb questions please. I'm starting afresh. I want in for a degree. So please i need advice on which country i can make it to with that.. I have not any tuition fee saved up anywhere but i believe it won't be a problem if i can secure my visa first with that budget. And i don't have a large statement of account.. So please advice me people, and if there is any help you can render as per securing the admission, i'd be glad. That's all.

Legacy666:
Thank you all for your quick responses. God bless u all. I still believe in Grace, there's nothing God can not do, afterall ECO are human not spirit.

Advisory:
Like I said people I know have applied with 3 months statement and got the Visa
and I have called UKVI to confirm and they say it does not have to be six months but within the last 6 months.
I put it to you to also call UKVI.
