how much?

The guy in question has a very good job, works in multinational oil nd gas, so he is never willing to relocate, just to spend 2 weeks with d wife and come back, it was originally done discretely, but when it backfired, he approached me since i have travelled before. Dont know if to tell him to forget about it and face his career.

@ Justwise
The detail of the refusal is as thus:
You ave declared no refusals of a visa to any country, including the UK. However, d records show that in 2007 you made an applicatn for a student visa which was subsequently refused. In that application you submitted a passport with a diff DOB.
You have made false representation and failed to declare fact material to this application. The misrepresentatn and concealment of material facts undermines ur stated intentions to the extent that im not satisfied that u r bein truthful abt the pur pose and duration of ur proposed visitand therfore nt satisfied.
I there4 refuse ur applicatn under para 41 and 320(7a). On what ground can he appeal?

He was refuse student visa on the basis of no enough funds.

@ justwise
He was given full right to appealm it was stated at the end of the refusal letter Right to Appeal. He doesn't know how to go about with d appeal, what reasons can he give. Tnx

@ justwise,
I ave a colleague that applied for family visit with d wife and was refused while d wife was granted. He was refused on d basic that he did not acknowledge he had applied before in 2007 under a different DOB Treduced age). He was refused under 320(7a) false representation or misrepresentation. He was given right to appeal, what chance does he have not to be banned for 10yrs.
