The aim of this thread is to possibily provide information to help those that would want to seek judicial review of thier immigration decision, whether be it after an unfavourable out of country ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW request OR in-country and out of country AYSLUM AND IMMIGRATION TRIBUNAL DECISIONs.

It is hoped that information to be provided by all will be authentic and current with the state of the art of the UK civil procedure acts, (CPR) which guides the frame work for all judicial reviews including but not limited to Asylum and immigration decisions.

Shakirudee:
Hello People pls I need your advise concerning one of client she overstayed in the UK and came back home voluntarily but she want to reapply to British embassy and state truth about her whole situation. Can anyone out there please advise.

Your advise is kindly appreciated.

Thank you.

whether you are serious or not, for the sake of those who might come on NL wanting to read through your post hoping to get something out of it, let me say here that;

Paragraph 320(7B) of the UK Immigration rules deals with issue of overstayers which is subject to
Paragrapgh 320(7C).

PART 9, sub-paragraph (i), paragraph 320(7B) sub-section (a)- (d) clearly states the condition under which an applicant with previous UK immigration history can be refused and that includes overstaying.
WARNING: The 28days start counting 5 days after the DATE OF RECEIPT of the Asylum and Immigration Tribunal, (AIT) decision IF the decision of the home office was appealed at the AIT. As 5 days are allowed for the appellant to file a case in the High Court for a Judicial Review. Otherwise, the 28days starts from the DATE OF RECEIPT of the Home Office decision.

Other than compelling health grounds which must be backed up by applicant medical records in the UK at the time of overstaying, a one year ban comes into effect and any application submitted before the expiration of the one year would be refused no matter the explanation given in your subsequent applications. However, applications submitted after a year gap (12 months) from the date the applicant passport was stamped at the exit gate in the UK, he/she will need to state clearly in the application form that he/she has previously overstayed in the UK but quote the relevant sections of the immigration rules to support thier claim why thier application need not be refused for overstaying since they have served a one year ban before re-applying.

@justwise.
Do not take it personal. You had good intention to help and you have always done that for many with success I believe.

Continue the good work and when I can, I will also assist.

UK visas application is so unpredictable these days. Only today, the Immigration minister announced that in-country appeals are to be banned henceforth from providing further documentation on appeal. Shame this conservative government is hell bent on 'cleansing' the UK of working immigrant.

In my own opinion,since in country applicants are to be denied this right, then there should be weight penalty on the home department for every application wrongly decided if overturn on appeal. This I believe would prevent the caseworkers from attending to applications carelessly.

Again2:
Lets not turn this to something else, i take the blame for advicing him not to include his personal bank statement as somebody going on offical trip, and quite alot of pple have done it and got issued a visa. Some of u are coming out now to sound as if i delibrately mislead him.

My apology if it appears that I imply in my post that you were to blame. That wasn't my intention.

Hope you accept my apology. No offense ment.

ceejay80s:
How many months before one can re-apply?

Since yours is business visas category and you haven't been refused under paragraph 320 (7)b of the immigration rules, then you can put in your application anytime soon provided you now meet the observation(s) raised by the ECO.

It will help if you can attach the grounds of refusal in your next post so we can better advise you.


@ll, please we should refrain from giving immigration advice if;
1. You are not conversant with the routine changes in the immigration rules and recent immigration court judgements to that effect.
2. Either you or someone you haven't had experiences similar to the one being raised by the poster.

Immigration matters  are very costly hence one needs to be careful with information given as advice as there is no room for speculation or 'try your luck'.

Preferably give information based on either own experience or someone you know or assisted in the very recent past with similar situation as the poster's query.

steph7:
hi NL,
Please I'm a serving corper and I plan on travelling to the Uk with my family, I want to find out if the embassy will require a letter from Nysc because I plan on spending 2 weeks and I know Nysc wnt permit me 2 travel, so is there another way I can go about it, or should I claim I'm employed in my parents company. thank u

To answer your question - Yes you need to present a letter from NYSC, including your call up letter which will help the ECO to verify that your NYSC letter is genuine.

As for your other suggestions, in my own opinion, that would be a big risk unless you can demonstrate by a way of 'letter of employment' and 'Bank Statement' showing to that effectyour SALARY HISTORY. This helps the ECO assess your financial status and also help him to ascertain your tie to nigeria. Two very vital aspects that influences issuance of visit visas by ECO.
If you can not demonstrate those two requirements, then you are placing yourself in line for 10years ban for deception!

spearlzz:
someone shld be pls help me, i need an advise, i applied for uk visa in 2007 which was refused, now i have a new passport with one name added to the ones on the previous passport, now i want to apply in turkey, i have done the change of name in nigeria last month, i have the newspaper publication with me, am i covered with that, what can i tell them is my strong reason for adding a name to my new passport?

Are you applying to the British Embassy in Turkey for a UK Visas?

What "sometimes" happens with issues of name change is to include a self adressed letter to the ECO, raising the issues, then include all original copies of official documents to back up your claims. You do not have to give reason for the change of name, as long as you provide official documents that can be verified. Do not forget to state the obvious - that you were refused in 2007 like you said, and that you also understand the weight penalty of misrepresentation according to the UK Immigration rules - include the relevant sections of the rules in your letter.

LET ME RE-EMPHASIZE THAT YOUR SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS TO ATTACH WITH THE LETTER MUST BE ORIGINALS WITH VERIFIABLE ADDRESS.

ceejay80s:
'll be re-applying soon,thank God say all my papers are ok except that i failed to submit my bank statement

Sorry I saw your post late, would have assisted you with the right info.

best of luck next time.

When our traditional rulers fail to act, we critize them. Now the Emir of Kano has acted in the interest of his people, GEJ fans want him hanged.

Why didn't they call for our Oba of Benin to be hanged when He sent GEJ's minister of state for works packing fromnhis palace with a marching order to go fix the benin-lagos express way?

Lesson learnt:  We must all learn to keep to time and when we can't inform others quickly enough.

After the IBORI saga, one can only ask; CAN ANYTHING GOOD COME OUT OF DELTA STATE? only time will tell.

May I ask, who are these foriegn investors? Who are the real owners? How sure are we that it is not Delta State money that is being returned through these so called foriegn investors?

Anyway, it would be a good development for Delta if the project is completed in record time. Other states close by will also benefit fromnthe project when it is finally completed.

By the way, any updates on ASABA airport tht has gulped nearly 40bn naira?

J12:
1. Lagoon hospital is not state owned. And your statement that rivers is starting afresh is quite foolish. Both governors are putting their state funds to good use. Fashola is building trade zones and ski zones; amaechi is building and upgrading schools and hospitals. Which is more important?
2. Outside of the multinational companies and national companies in lagos, how would lagos cope? Lagos state is blessed, it was the former capital of nigeria. You can't credit or blame fashola for that. Same with rivers state, it was blessed with oil. It is not amaechis fault.
3. The greater city project is on, my cousin is an engineer on the site. About the water ways, explaining the issues surrounding them would be difficult.

The usual blah blah lagos was a commercial capital talk! Forgeting how Lagos was abused and mismanaged by the FG while she occupied lagos and left there in chaos.

I never said Lagoon Hospital was owned by lagos state government, rather I pointed that to you as an indication of what lagos is now enjoying from a government that is focused and determined! Do you actually think Hydeia Group will go and put thier money in a kiddnapper infested zone?

Your claim that Ameichi is not building a fresh is laughable. All the 435 schools (out of the prosposed 900) and hospital projects ongoing are 'fresh' projects, meaning performance wise, he should have delivered them within 4-years but many are still on going project.

You failed to address my question on how rivers and other fellow ND states has made effort to be self reliant in case oil money becomes marginal in the very near futre - go and ask those cities/towns north of scotland wht total reliance on oil money means when the money finally dwindles-

J12:
1. Name one ND governor that has been able to conceive and bring to fuition projects like those in Lekki FTZ,Eko Atlantic, the international markets etc.
-----------------------------------------
Amaechi renovated and upgraded all public primary and secondary schools in rivers state to standard, he also established at least a standard medical center in all local governments. He is renovating and upgrading all the markets in port Harcourt, he is also building new ones.

2. Secondly, name one ND governor that has been able to raise and continue to sustain thier state  IGR profile like fashola has done in lagos which has helped lagos source for cheap loans to carry out large scale projects that even our own NDeltans are benefitting from.

--You don't expect amaechi to over tax rivers indegenes. The state is blessed with oil resources and the revenues that come from oil is enough to fund and sustain the various projects in the state.

3. All you see in ND is prototypes! Uduaghan(criminal awaiting his jail terms) all he shows us is drawings and models on paper! Go build the damn real thing!

-There is work on ground in P.H. Go and see it.

3. Thirdly, Rivers, Bayelsa, Delta all have in-land waterways like lagos. Tell me which one of these states has been able to develop thier water ways like fashola has done, instead all you see around and on CNN is wooden speedboats! The other one in Akwa-ibom is busy engaging in white elephant projects the state can not sustain with her IGR- fly over my foot! Do you think I will go to Uyo 'cos of fly over when kiddnapping is rampant in the state?


-- This is not an issue.

4. Name one ND state that is as safe as Lagos security wise! Remember, before fashola crime was high in lagos, but when he came in, within two years He got a foundation/trust in place, raised funds, bought equippments for the damn FG police and guess what? CRIME nose dived in much of Lagos. How many ND governors have been able to replicate same in thier states?

-- Amaechi did that.
Dude, let us (Niger deltans)not keep deceiving ourselves. Our governors are not working.  

- Amaechi is working.

How I wish you could read between the lines! Going by your response, it is obvious that even rivers state's status is :"on going" even after 4-years.While I have already acknowledged Ameichi that he has tried, however we have to realized that His performance is still dwarfed by that of Fashola.

Go and read this;
http://www.sunnewsonline.com/webpages/features/goodhealth/2011/may/24/goodhealth-24-05-2011-01.html

With all the billions, why haven't Rivers achieved same? Also, you know it is more difficult to sustain old pojects than building new ones. Lagos is reviving and managing old projects while rivers is starting afresh, yet fashola out performs Ameichi by a long stretch! No sentiment attached as a Niger Deltan myself.

Outside of oil, how will rivers state cope with revenue generation? Just like Delta, rivers, Akaw-ibom, etc live from FG handouts! They have failed to rise to the challenge of self suffciency by expanding thier internal revenue profile with sound internal economic policies! What has happened to the much talked about greater P/H city?

I am amazed you cast aside the failure of ND govenors to develop the in-land waterways! Do you know the number jobs, taxes,and over all well being this would have brought to ND? Imagine if you could take a super boat from Bayelsa to Lagos in 1hr, don't you think that would open up most of those villages? Go to Burutu in Delta, large part of that place are inaccessible by road from warri or Asaba end! Currently the people rely on old speed boat with out of place jetties, for thier daily commuting to Warri. Same goes in most places in Bayelsa.

asorocker:
Please Omotier1 , what really has fashola done in lagos that Niger Delta governors have not done times 10 , I transit between lagos and niger delta .

Please tell me let me see for my self

'm from ND, okay and I know difference between light and darkness. For a start,

Name one ND governor that has been able to conceive and bring to fuition projects like those in Lekki FTZ,Eko Atlantic, the international markets etc.

Secondly, name one ND governor that has been able to raise and continue to sustain thier state  IGR profile like fashola has done in lagos which has helped lagos source for cheap loans to carry out large scale projects that even our own NDeltans are benefitting from.

asorocker:
The choice of GEJ is strategic , first Amechi is from the nigerdelat 2nd he is an igbo, third he is a PDP man 4th he is in a very rich state and can mobilise resources for lobbying reps and senators.

Amechi will play a very big roll in what happens in 2015.

For those vaunting fashola, Fashola is not a pdp member and his fate won't be brighter than that of Donald Duke.

Again what really has Fashola done beyond planting trees , flowers and grasses under some lagos bridges.

This is reminiscent of somebody who paints an old structure and is being recognised more than the person who built the structure.

NL should please recognize those who have built refineries , airports, IPP, people like Akpabio , Amechi,Uduaghan, not those who everyday keeps ranting how the will do this and that and gets more recogniton for planting trees.

re-read your post and tell me why you should not be ashamed of your level of reasoning.

If Fashola did was planting flowers, why did lagosians not bite the liners when PDP/Dosumu used same stupid slogan in thier campaigns during the last elections?

Lasgosians know this: FASHOLA IS WORKING, LAGOS IS WORKING

In PDP controlled states, the people only know this: THE GOVERNOR IS CHOPPING, THE STATE IS ROCKING AGROUND !

Live on NTA, the SFG stated that the Swearing in of GEJ on May 29th 2011 will cost 800million Naira but that is estimated to rise to 1.3bn Naira.

Then I asked, what and what will form the swearing in that it will cost so much? Why can't we be smart, get this GEJ guy into the same room he swore his oath the last time, get this thingy done and lets move on! All the so called world leaders can pay congratulatory visit when they start trooping in for economic related matters!

@rasputin,
Do not make attempt to compare Ameichi and Fashola in terms of performance! Ameichi tried but He is no where near Fashola in terms of performance.

To begin, give me the % increment Ameichi has brought to Rivers compared to the Fashola has brought to lagos.

In as much as I laud the achievements of Ameichi, however I can not ignore the fact that His government is breathing on moneies from oil (whici is not what Nigeria needs) as oppose to that of Fashola that is breathing of calculated economic revenue generation and fiscal descipline with expenditure.This is what is currently distinguishing Fashola from others and it is that thing we need in our president!

And to the NGF leadership, have you ever seen the master's children fighting over the crumbs that falls from the dinning table? To the political course of the ACN, NGF doesn't serve such, otherwise two of thier very prominent governors (Fashola and Oshiomhole) would have easily swept Ameichi in the gutters irrespective of the number of governors that are of the PDP. Remember OGD (by the instrumentality of GEJ front men)wanted to dethrone Saraki in a civillian coup but it was Fashola and Oshiomhole that led the onslaught on OGD 'cos doing so was in the strategic interest of ACN and by extension nigerians.

[quote author=alj_harem link=topic=673591.msg8378442#msg8378442 date=1306170574]am really going to love this thread [/quote]Which thread? the one for flying kite, plating hair or for sewing pants

this i chop you chop amensty. My fellow niger deltans better wake up from thier deepest slumber!

Oruebebe and his cohort have milked the region dry in the name of amenisty with close to unbudgeted 300bn naira spent already - YES I SAID 300bn NAIRA- yet GEJ wants this man as his new chief of staff at the presidency.

Show me a priest with little children, then you have seen a paedophile! GEJ has  surrounded himself with criminals, yet he expects us to believe he is a saint. --

very good idea! Can I suggest the columns in excel to include

set delivery date
Actual date delivered

Set delivery cost
Actual cost at delivery

A drop down 'combo' to select which sector of the economy.

Come 2015, we will compile a dossier of his achievements and make it available to nigerians to judge based on concrete evidence and not windhooking of 'i never had shoes to wear!'

Beaf:
Poor anti-GEJ people, they actually think that hurling abuse is intellectual. It isn't, guys please tackle the issues.
It is clear that GEJ has solid plans for the country, he has hit the ground running to get Nigeria working (Lol @ my poetry!).
Lots of feathers are being ruffled as we speak, so the enemies of progress will fill the four winds with falsehoods and rumours.

Read the PIB! It is a bill that is set to multiply Nigeria's income from petroleum by 7! From $102billion to $685billion. The fixing of the refineries is a mere topping.

A lot of mention has been made about the need for NNPC to be privatised, someone else even asked about a road map while blindly hurling abuse. Dudes, lets not be bogged down with ignorance, under the PIB that is being fought in the NASS, every last detail has been taken care off. From privatising the NNPC, to turning breaking it into functional profit making firms that will international clout, able to operate outside the country and bid for World class contracts just as Shell and Chevron do here. I will advice those who are wasting time abusing here, to aquaint themselves with the PIB, and if they care so much for the country, aim their bile at those holding up the bill instead.

You want a roadmap of what will happen in the oil and gas industry? Read the PIB. You need to know the future of NNPC in detail? Read the PIB. You need to understand how you as an individual can make a killing from oil and gas? Quit trash talking and READ THE PIB.

Petroleum Industry Bill = PIB = Fresh Air!!

I think you are the most  intellectually deficient poster to grace NL in recent memory.

Just like your GEJ, you thinking banging big numbers about is what will put food on the table of nigerians?

The PIB as it stands will be a symbol of nigeria's modern slavery by the whites led IOC and there is nothing to celebrate in a bill that is designed to fail from start.

feelgood:
Written by Abiodun Awolaja Monday, 23 May 2011

Yinka Odumakin, the spokesman of General Muhammadu Buhari, the ex-soldier who ran for president on the platform of the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), has been very busy since the conclusion of the April election. When he is not castigating the CAN president, he is busy denigrating Dr Jonathan. However, one is not interested in Odumakin because he is, really, like some human rights activists, parasites who should have been jailed in saner climes, a nobody. He is like Femi Falana, the alleged successor of forthright Gani who has, (like ASUU members, the castrated columnists of the Lagos newspapers, etc) found it convenient to keep quiet when revelations of Ayo Salami’s heinous crimes started emanating from the NJC probe panel. Those who feel no sense of shame should probably not be called upon to search their conscience.

Buhari, the political almajiri who asked his supporters to kill whoever rigged their votes, is enjoying a quiet time in Daura, but parents of the slain NYSC members are having the most sorrowful moment of their lifetime. Despite the magnitude of the tragedy instigated by Buhari and members of his party, he has not addressed a press conference. Instead, he sends jejune Odumakin on what the Yoruba call the errand of the toilet. And Odumakin obeys, loyal acolyte of a demon. In ‘’Deconstructing Buhari and his apologists,” I warned that Buhari’s utterances would signal doom in Nigeria. They did. May Buhari reap the fruits of his doings.

Since the conclusion of the April elections, certain persons have been making strenuous attempts to impugn the integrity of the process. First was Chief Bisi Akande, national chair of the ACN who said the National Assembly elections were not free and fair, thus indirectly castigating the victory of his own party. Somehow, these ‘progressives’ always do things badly. Then, there was constitutional lawyer, Prof Itse Sagay, who delivered this verdict: “Jega should stop deceiving himself and the international observers should also stop deceiving themselves. The 2011 elections were a failure, far from any international standard and comparable to the 2007 elections when Iwu allocated figures.” This kind of comedy—I dey laugh o—from a respected professor of law! Were the international observers also “deceiving themselves” in 2003 and 2007 when they criticised the elections? Lest we forget, this was the same SAN who, evidently without reading the judgement of the Appeal Court, said Segun Oni should be jailed for rigging election in Ekiti.

But hear Abubakar Malami (the name sounds like Salami), explaining the post-election violence in the North: “ Our national history has taught us that the determination to win elections by incumbents by any means (sic) has always given birth to spontaneous reactions in the form of breakdown(sic) of law and order.”

To Malami, the murder of 10 corps members and burning of houses were a “spontaneous reaction,” but to me, they were not. They were carefully orchestrated by the CPC bigwigs, and their principal, Buhari, had no kind words for the parents of the corps members who were killed, and for those patriotic northerners who suffered loss of lives and property, including the Emir of Kano, His Eminence, Alhaji Ado Bayero, whose palace was torched by the murderous lunatics in the CPC.

And then listen to Buhari, speaking through Odumakin as usual: “It is galling that a president who has not shaken off the allegation (sic) that he distributed dollars within Nigeria will value a slain corp member who would have been a breadwinner for life for his family at a token of N5 million.”

This is hypocrisy, Buhari’s stock-in-trade when he is not shedding crocodile tears. One, it wasn’t the president who asked lunatics to take the law into their own hands. Two, the president never said that the N5 million represented the value of the dead, nor did he even call the money a form of compensation. Three, while the president was saying “Don’t rig for me; my ambition is not worth the life of any Nigerian,” Buhari was saying “Ku gama da shi.” Four, it wasn’t the president’s party men but the CPC who unleashed violence—indeed, PDP men were prime targets in the mayhem unleashed by Buhari’s supporters. Five, what compensation is Buhari prepared to pay the families of these corps members, even if it is only a kind word?

And then the issue of dollars. Is Buhari angry because he did not get his own share of the dollars which he said the president distributed? Does Buhari want to pretend that he didn’t spend ‘dollars’ during the election? Were his newspaper advertisements placed on credit? Were his campaigns funded by the N200 a certain citizen donated? Were his posters printed with sand? Why does this fellow always pretend to be the most honest Nigerian? Was he not the same human being who said Sani Abacha didn’t steal Nigerian money? Was PTDF totally run without corruption? Buhari should be careful how he rides his moral horse. But he will not be careful because the dog that will get lost never heeds the hunter’s whistle.

Buhari and his gang may continue to denigrate the person of the president and crucify Jega, but Nigerians and the international community know the truth. Indeed, as Bolanle Babawole has said: “No more will this country be taken as anyone’s fiefdom and no more will anyone be allowed to ride roughshod over the popular will of the people. Nigerians have spoken—and they did so without any ambiguity.”

Awolaja is on the Politics Desk of the Nigerian Tribune.

http://tribune.com.ng/index.php/opinion/22309-2011-elections-and-enemies-of-nigeria

plain stupid. Another bribe seeking, position begging pen pusher!

Remember King ASA in the bible? May GEJ's tale not end like his.

How true this story is, God sees all. The fact that not a single government minister has been able to put a figure on how much this event will cost the tax payer says it all.

I remember in the UK, a week to the G-20 summit two years ago, whitehall released the figure it would cost the tax payer - somewhere around £25million and they had to explain to the country why it was costing much and the pressure from the public ment they had to go back, review thier expenses downwards!

At a time countries that mean well for thier people are taking drastic measures to cut bogus spending, African governments is doing the opposite.

I have said it, the Spirit of illigetimacy that hunted Yar'dua will follow GEJ for the next 2.5years until he confesses to Nigerians how he masterminded the biggest deciet Nigeria has ever witness.

As usual, watch how the presidency will keep mute on this issue. Also, I am seriously concerned that no tabloid on online news outlet based in Nigeria has covertly investigated this story, run a front page rticle on it! Has journalism in Nigeria now truly a 'samsung galaxy tab' rub my back i rub your affair?

God bless Nigeria.

mikeansy:
And for your information, Buhari was blamed because he stoked up the violence before the election. He was busy saying in Aljazeera and BBC Hausa service how the Syrian and Egyptian revolution will be replecated in Nigeria if he did not win. That was why Buhari is being held responsible for the violence.

Now show me where your all knowing El-Rufai has actually condemned this shameful violence? None, nada.

Rather he selectively reminds us of post election violence that occured in pre-civil war Nigeria and yet has the temerity to call the President "irresponsible" for stating the fact which is that some of the post election violence that occured in pre-civil war Nigeria helped stoke up the mistrust that led to the civil war. Those who fail to learn from their own history keep making the same mistakes, that was what the President was saying and I see nothing wrong with that. If El-Rufai thinks the President is irresponsible for reminding the Nation the dangers of the post election violence and how that kind of behaviour has played out in the past? Then I think there is something fundamentally wrong with El-Rufai.

If you want to talk about thought provoking commentary following this post election violence. Let us talk about Babangida Aliyu's comment which clearly states how the Alamajiri's in the North thought Buhari won the election merely because he won in their neighbourhood. If you listen to El-Rufai all he is saying is that the electoral process went well, people voted, people queued orderly, the electoral register was credible but their must have been falsification of the figures because his prefered candidate did not emerge the winner. Imagine such a childish argument.

Hellllloooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!! Exit poll tally and projection released by REUTERS on the night of the election was consistent with   the final results by INEC.

Get used to it Mr El-Rufai your candidate lost fair and square.

I despise those who use 'them say' 'hear say' as statement of fact.

The bbc hausa and al'jazera's interviews you referred did not contain words of incitement otherwise 'm sure your low IQ PDP folks would have used that to thier advantage.

El-rufai's comments on the pre and post election crisis is spot on.

Why would the FG engage in acts that seems to suggest that lives in nigeria have disparity value?

Were you not in nigeria when the SSS raised alarm of flash points where election violence may erupt and did erupt unfortunately, - what did the FG do with the intelligence at her disposal? - Again a vivid show of incompetence by the PDP led government.

Finally, I laugh in 'waffi' your statement that Buhari is to blame for the rioting! - Is buhari the FG? Is He the one in charge of the security apparatus of Nigeria? Please lets reason with our brains and not emotional sentiment!

is Buhari/CPC responsible for the senseless killings taking place in BENUE STATE as I type this? I bet you are not even aware that this is happening and the FG has kept mute!
