The reason for the denial was that the information the person filled in on the visa application form is different from the answers given at the border when interviewed.

But the document didn't mention any ban, only mention that the visit visa was cancelled. Can the person contact the home office to know if there is a ban? This would guide the person in future applications




For example: while filling the forms, ‘mama wrote’ that she was going to the UK for holidays, to rest, visit places and spend some time with the (new) grandchildren and have some fun with them.

At port of entry, mama said she was coming because her daughter just gave birth to baby number two, and the burden is huge so she is coming to be taking care of the children while the parents are at work…..

Something like that right?

Hello Everyone. Need advice. I'm into IT working full time 8-4 in manchester. Bills back home and other responsibilities are building up. What other side hussles can one do? I thought of combining this with care jobs (part time from friday night to sunday morning). How feasible is this? Also, referals for part time care jobs within manchester would be helpful.

If you are not on a sponsored visa just find a high paying job. What IT field are you into?

Australia and Israel have done something similar in the past ..... it a way of saying we don't want you to enter our country illegally. Legally yes, illegally no . If there is a possibility that instead of been in UK, you be in Rwanda that will stop or deter a lot of the illegal crossing by sea

They are not genuine refugees, so many of them are economic migrants. They can afford to pay smugglers thousands to bring them to the UK

from Rwanda, you will be given permanent residency in same rwanda.. if you decide to stay back fine, otherwise you are free to return to your country.
They are only also doing this to a group of people coming in through a certain waterway which is illegal
In 2020, 8k people came in through there and in 2021 28 thousand people.. a whole 250 percent increase in a year.
They do not want this anymore, if you come in through this way, say you are fleeing persecution then you go to Rwanda.
They say it costs them 1 billion pounds, sending them to Rwanda for asylum and then residency will cost them 120 million pounds, a good margin at least these are some of the reasons they gave

A racist policy. If a Ukrainian came by boat from France, would they send the Ukrainian to Rwanda? Why is it just black and brown people they send to Rwanda?!

I and many immigrants in the UK are economic migrants. The only difference between us and the refugees crossing the channel is simply sheer luck. We were lucky to come in via the boat of university migration, and we were lucky to have the funds to pay tuition fees, visa etc.

If a book was written about the sheer hypocrisy of a small minority of black and brown people speaking/acting against black and brown refugees escaping their countries to seek a better life in the UK, that book will be a best seller.

That's very true, I always thought what they paid to smugglers were peanuts, not until i met a guy from who came from Iraq, he said he paid 50,000 POUNDS STERLING to the smugglers. I was dazed. And now imagine he filled for benefit as he has been around for quite a while and maybe perhaps qualifies for it. Takes this money, buys tobacco and sells to Polish and Romanians.

Hello Chairmen, Women and Ancestors

Happy Easter to everyone

I do have some funny property questions

Let's assume I have £60K which ideally can pay for 2 properties at £30K each

Will it make sense to

1- buy 2 different properties at the same time or -

2 - put the £60K in one and then refinance later?

3 - Can mortgage be paid using credit cards? If yes, does it make sense to spend more than the 20 - 30% recommended on cc's per month?

Which one saves more money and makes the most sense at a latter date

I'm just curious and thinking ahead in this case

Thanks!

1. You are seriously underestimating your costs. For each purchase, you have #30k for deposit, #600 for solicitors fees, #3,600 for stamp duty. Then you need change EICR, GSC and letting costs. You can cut letting costs by using Open Rent which is c. #500 ish to include credit checking. If you decide to do a survey, that's another #600-#800. If the house is in top spec condition, you might get away with a deep clean otherwise, you also need to budget funds for small repairs before letting.

2. Refinancing is not really as easy at it sounds. You'll have to re-apply going through a full credit application, break the initial fixed period if you fixed, pay break fees. House values don't instantly rise and sometimes, will actually be static for awhile even in a rising or an over blown market

3. No. Sometimes having a lot of accessible credit works against you when it comes to mortgages even for BTL especially if your income is not very high. Banks are not averse to asking you to close down lines of open credit before draw down so don't even bank on having immediate access to that money. Of course you can get new cards or loans once the mortgage has been drawn down.

Are you saying they couldn't use the monies they paid to smugglers for tuition? Like they don't pay the huge sum in bits to this smugglers like most would pay and struggle to do for university studies. What is really racial about a country trying to deter and strangulate an illegal business? What luck is it they have not; if someone going for a university program pays 30,000-35,000 pounds total cost, and another decides to give 50,000 pounds to a smuggler?

No, I mean both properties are worth say 300K each, with 30K as down-payment


I'm Allowed to dream naw grin

#30k deposit for a BTL is a maximum #120k purchase. The only time you get away with less than a 25% is if you're buying a home to live in. Be realistic in your dreams o. Otherwise you go just waste money with nothing to show at the end of it. It's why the wealth creation industry exists - making millions from property is a big one. Lots and lots of stories that touch emanating from there.

For a #300k BTL property, stamp duty alone is #14k then you need a deposit of #75k. So before you even start, almost #100k don comot from ya pocket.

If they sent a black/brown person to middle east or other continent, you would still have had complaints that they are sending a brother/sister to war zone to die a war they never signed up for or maybe say modern day slavery, they decided to send to an African country yet still racism.

No, not for this reason. The person was returned based on Paragraph 9.20.2 of the Immigration Rules.

The person applied to attend an event in the UK but didn't know the name of the event when asked, also the purpose of why the person is attending the event when asked is different from what is on the form.

We just need to know if someone returned based on that paragraph would be placed on Ban

No 3 touch me ooo. I am all about our people raising our people. ... how can we grow if we run away from each other

Truth be told, in some cases we hate ourselves. I got a job in a hospital as a mental health worker, the hospital is one of the biggest in the UK, they even have branches in Dubai and other top sites in the world, we got some Nigerian nurses from dubai to come work here, these nurses got here and started seeing us as competition, I mean most of us aren't nurses yet o, we are morelike assistant nurses and some of us are aiming getting a nursing degree in two years or so (since it's flexible here even with any degree as your first degree you can get your M. Sc. in Nursing as well as your license), these Nigerian nurses tend to be more friendly with other nationals, offer more assistance to them, you greet these nurses, they don't answer you, they make frivolous reports against some of us being that they want to prove they are working and these has made them look funny to management because the reports don't hold any grounds. Truth is, just be at the top of your game, remain straight forward and upright in your dealings, hopefully, one day, we get to see ourselves as one.

Hello, just state your current address first and then state your Nigerian address in chronological order. For instance:
Walford Road London ( 12/09/2021 - 12/04/2022)
Kaduna Road Nigeria (02/03/2015 - 11/09/2021).

It’s not easy deporting illegal immigrants and it cost a lot . Illegal immigrants destroy their passports even before getting here so it’s even harder to deport someone without passport. Some will disappear immediately and start living under the system .

The way some of us black people throw this word: racism around at every given condition is really unfortunate.
We are quick to wave race card making it difficult to address the real issue.
Police stop and search is racist but blacks are stabbing blacks almost every single day.

Many illegal immigrants crossing the channel are not from war zone , if you are a refugee you wouldn’t pay smugglers thousands to take you across the channel.

Are you not the same person painting glorious pictures of Buhari? If our problem here is racism so what is our problem in Nigeria?

You do know many Eastern European do try to cross illegally as well. I am sure they will be on the plane to Rwanda. Nobody going to say form a line, if you are black or brown enter the plane, if you are white cross .... I highly doubt that

Either way you cannot win.... UK trying their best to control immigration, come in legally let know who you are, we use visa check tosee your immigration history, now they added police report to help not let criminals enter. .... illegal immigration you have no clue of what a person is coming with. It still the public who been affected if an illegal immigrants was a criminal in that country and gets into the country illegally and unchecked

Also these people smuggling is no cheap at all. .. I think let them use policy to deter so everyone can use legal method. It always doesn't have to be about race

I really doubt if a Ukrainian fleeing Putin’s bombs will run away from Mariupol, get on a coach to Poland or Hungary. Then get on trains through other safe countries. Arrive France. Then pay smugglers thousands of £££ to hop into a dinghy boat and cross the channel.
In any case, there is no evidence to show that a Ukrainian who is smuggled in illegally, arrives on a boat via the channel will it be on The Road to Kigali.

I once shared a flat with a couple of Caucasians in London. Our flat was raided one early morning. Two of my flat mates ( including 2 others who had been living with them - I didn’t know those ones sef) where whisked away. To cut short story long, they were deported for being illegal immigrants.

I guess my point is, stop all this talk about Racism. Every country in the world (including Black and Brown countries) have border policies.

Ukrainians fleeing war are mostly Children, Women and the Elderly. Black & Brown people fleeing ‘wars’ and arriving in inflatable boats are almost exclusively Young Men and Pseudo-Children - Virile young men in late twenties/early 30s who arrive and claim to be 16.
