Oh ok... thanks for the clarification. I haven't got any such email. I guess I'll just have to wait.

Thank you

inphoenix:


It is a mail that UKVI sends to applicants when they believe that the outcome of the application will take more than 15 working days because the application is not straightforward or is somewhat complex.

No please I haven't tried to mail them. Wont mailing them seem like I'm desperate? I'm actually not tho just making me uneasy and dont want to miss any classes. How can they be reached via email tho?

mimilyrics:
Not everyone is being called for interviews. For people whose applications give the ECOs cause for concerns, the ECO will call to clarify whatever information isn't clear.
Have you tried mailing UKVI to know what the holdup is?

If you select that you're married, you'll be asked for your spouse's details and this is usually okay if your spouse needs to join or travel with you to the UK. You don't necessarily need to fill your spouse in as a financial dependant if they are not your financial dependant.
It only becomes a problem if you don't list your spouse's details in the spouse section.

ELff:
Please I need to clarify something, while filling my application, I saw where they asked if I had dependant(child, aged parents, etc but no where was husband included, so i filled no). Does this mean hubby would not be allowed to join me?

No, it's not you being desperate, it's just you wanting to know the status of your application.

No worries. When did you submit your biometrics?

TheGuyFromHR:


I think you can still remedy that when you get your visa and the time comes for him to apply.
That dependant aspect on the form is confusing given the conflicting meanings of the word. Someone posted in this form addressing this, I can't remember whom so you can search for the comment, but it was along the lines of your issue.

It is really confusing, I just thought about it now and sharply came online to clarify. Thanks for your input, i appreciate.

Thank you so much. Really appreciate it and God richly bless you

I listed his details. Whew. Some relief thanks for the clarification.

Sorry about this but sister is listed on the form and inlaws too. Even adopted child. Guys let us be very careful while filling this form. I know some relative don’t like to be mentioned on application because of their status. The best thing is to be truthful. It’s well with you sis. If the refusal ground isn’t very serious then get someone who is sound to apply for the administrative review

james1004:


Why not simply upload your refusal letter ? That way, you can get proper advice.

mrpudikin:
Hello people, in the case of funds you have coming not just from your parents but also from family members like uncles or cousins. How does one put it during an interview and is adding supporting documents advisable in this case or just the bank statement should do . And what supporting can one add it is needed.

Thanks.

Good afternoon, Mimilyrics can I send you a Pm

Please is there anybody that did on 10th, 11th or 14th standard that has received any form of mail or application being transferred should update us o. This wait is killing and there seems to be no progress in Pretoria DMC again unlike earlier on that it was very fast

Pls how do i go about the administrative review?

inphoenix:


Good. It is not a ground for a ban. You can apply for administrative review or re-apply subsequently

So sorry for your refusal. There are lessons to learn from this going forward, you shouldn’t have quoted your sister’s DOB Cus u might implicate her. This is really a hard nut to crack.

Sweetness24:
Here is the refusal letter

This will be a tough one to overturn though you can always try to appeal to the ECM's discretionary capabilities by conveying how this was just a honest mistake. My reasons (from an ECO point of view) for this are
1. You stated that you chose Manchester so you could be close to family when you had said that you had no family. You knew fully well that you had family in the UK and chose to stay in Manchester because of them. So who are the family members outside your sister that made you choose Manchester since you didn't mention them? This is a discrepancy difficult to overlook.

2. The suspicion that your sister is in the UK illegally is enough for the ECO to think that you are just using the student visa as a way to get to move to the UK by hook or crook. If you had included an explanation that you had a sister in the UK but that you don't know if she's still there because you lost touch many years ago, it might have helped.

Except you have reasons strong enough to tackle the points listed, the admin review might not upturn the refusal. And since you weren't refused under paragraph 320, you can still make an application at a later time but please address the reasons you were refused here on subsequent applications.

Sweetness24:

You are not banned but you did not pass Genuineness test during the interview. You can send a letter of reconsideration in that letter state exactly what happened and the confusion that lead to your mistake.

A different ECM will look into your case and make decision, this letter is not about you claiming to be right or trying to defend your decision not to declare your sister in your application. You will be writing to explain why you made the mistake and plead for reconsideration of your application.
