Vengagirl:
Hello,

My fiance applied for student visa in 2008 before we started dating, he was refused on the grounds that he supplied a forged WAEC certificate. He appealed but he never heard the outcome of the appeal (I think he appealed after the 28 day period). Although he said he kept calling the AIT but they keep telling him they are still looking into his case.

When we started dating, I went to Nigeria to see him and I encouraged him to apply again. He has family member here in the UK, he got a eltter of invitation from his sister who lives here, she also gave him copy of her passport which has her leave to remain (or work permit) I can't remember, her house agreement and letter of invitation. I also submitted a copy of my passport, rent statements, contact of employment, letter of invitation and payslips and he stated the reason for his visit as coming to see his sister and fiancee.

He applied in October 2009 for a family visitor application and his appliation declined on the basis that he has not satified the immigrations rules set out in paragraph 41 and Paragraph 320(7B) and s370 (7B) of the immigration rules which deals with situations where an applicant has previously breached an immigration rule. His family visitor application was declined based on a previous student application he made in 2008. It was in the delcine reasons that they informed him that his student visa appeal was declined even though he did not reeive any document to that effect. The ECO then stated that even though my fiance says he appealled, he did not provide them with the outcome of that appeal.

As such he was told that all subsequent applications will be declined until 2018 ( I know the immigration rule is to exclude persons from the UK who provide forged documents as part of their application submission for 10 years).

He was given a right to appeal (as he had applied for a family visitor application). I asked him how he obtained the WAEC certificate and he explained that a Man who works in WAEC told him that he could provide him with a replacement WAEC certificate ( the guy then provided the WAEC certificate). His waec certificate was lost and he did not know that waec don't furnish replacement certificate. The issue here is his result has not been falsified on the certificate. His result was exactly the same as what he scored in the exam.

I encouraged him to appeal so I drafted an appeal letter on the following grounds

-Explained how he had met the member of staff who claim to work in WAEC
- Explained the fact that if he was aware that the certificate was forged he would not have gotten involved
- Explained the fact that his result on the certificate was not falsified ( so this was not a grade boosting exercise)
- Explained the fact that he has other family members who travel to the UK and return and they have not made UK their homes (becoming illegal immigrants)
- He provided his employment letter and landed property letters
- He was not notified that his student visa appeal was turned down.


I then sent the letter to the AIT here in the UK by registered post. I told him that we should opt for oral hearing but he did not want to stress his sister even though she actually agreed that he should appeal and explain how he obtained the waec certificate.

We have not heard from the AIT since the appeal was filed and I do know that it does take sometime.

I am very worried as we will be getting married soon and I know that after marriage when he applies for spousal visa his previous issues will come up. ( Although I am british) but I have heard of cases where application has been declined. But then again I have heard of worse cases where a spouse is granted a settlement visa even where the man had lived in the UK and had issues with police.

I really do not want to relocate to Nigeria now but my partner keeps telling me that if we apply after marriage and he's not granted I will have to come to Nigeria. I have contacted immigration consultants and their fee is just ridiculously high.

I am dying with worry every passing day with this 10 year ban hanging over his head (depending on the outcome of the recent appeal), although I am trying to be positive by saying that he will be granted a settlement visa, however even I am unsure what the status is for an applicant who has been excluded from entering into the UK for 10 years if such applicant then gets married to a British citizen.

Can anyone in the house please put me out of my misery by offering any useful hints and tips that would help solidify our case for when we make an application after marriage?

Thank you.

Your partner will not be liable to the ten year ban if he apply in the following categories;
Those applying for settlement categories to join family members in the UK or to exercise rights of access to a child;
Those accompanying family members who will be submitted for settlement on arrival;
If you get married and apply for a spouse visa, he wont be banned as stated under paragraph 320(7C) but he might still be refused under paragraph 320(11) contrived to significantly frustration immigration rules

Your spouse application is still subject to meeting the accommodation and maintenance requirements, the onus is on the applicant to provide enough documentation in his favour and hope the ECO exercise discretion in his favour!

Hope this helps!

Good luck

Where did it say applying in the United kingdom will result in an immediate refusal?,  as the website stated application is accepted from everyone in the United Kingdom, permanent resident or temporary resident! the website only advised to return to your home country for better verifying or evaluating information.
Anyone can apply and its left for the US embassy to either refer the applicant back to his/her home country, or grant or refuse the visa application based on the documents and information infront of the Consular officer,

I dont know why people find it so hard to believe someone on this thread,

Non Residents of the United Kingdom

Although we accept applications from anyone physically present in the United Kingdom, it is often difficult for applicants who are not permanent residents in the United Kingdom to demonstrate that they have sufficiently strong ties to a third country, as consular officers in London or Belfast have no way of verifying or evaluating information from other countries.

If you are a temporary resident of the United Kingdom, or are planning on traveling to the United Kingdom specifically to apply for a visa, you may wish to consider applying for a visa in your country of permanent residence where you will be best able to establish your qualifications for a visa.

thank you so much for your time.

Give her these;

*Letter of invitation from Nigeria, addressed to Visa Section, Nigeria High Commission, New york i think, accepting full immigration/evidence of sustaining self while in Nigeria. This should be in a form of traveller's cheques to be cashed in Nigeria.

*Photocopy of Inviter's Passport

or search google for more info

@Tunnytox.

Thanks for your response.

I was issued a uk 6 month visit visa in 2001. I was 19 years old then. Due to bad advice and circumstances beyond my control, I overstayed my visa. In 2004, I sent my passport home and a new valid visit visa was applied for in my absence, another 6 month visit visa was issued on my passport. My intention was to travel home perharps with a travel certificate and then use my newly issued visit visa to re-enter the uk. Unfortunately, I ran into some financial difficulties and was unable to travel.

My new visa expired and my passport was still at home. In 2009, My girlfriend and I decided to travel home and reapply for a new visa. A friend of mine brought my passport for me and I flew home in may this year. On exit at heathrow airport, I was seen by an immigration officer who checked my passport , saw i'd overstayed and issued me with a form "151a", which Im perhaps sure your aware of.

The immigration officer endorsed my passport and put a line over my visas (which indicates cancelling my visas), and said il let you get on the flight but asked me, "do you have a british girlfriend" I replied yes, he then said "my friend, go back to lagos, tell your girlfriend to come,get married to her and apply for a spousal visa" "be honest with them, dont try play anytricks or change your name or id or whatever" "they are quite compassionate and cherish honesty, just be truthful"




My partner and I have been in a relationship for two years and she is a british citizen by birth. She has come nigeria to visit me 4 times since Iv been here , (which all shows in her passport) and we'r planning to do a quiet court wedding in january and then apply for a spousal visa perhaps by february.

I apologise my story is long, but to summarise it. IV OVERSTAYED IN THE UK FOR 8 YRS AND WISH TO APPLY FOR A SPOUSAL VISA . Im sure you'v perhaps come accross complicated cases like this before, but what can you advise me and what tips can you give regarding our future spousal application.

I don't understand. DOES IT MEAN THAT YOU GUYS ABROAD ARE THAT BROKE!!? AM JUST AN ORDINARY EVERYDAY GUY HERE IN NIGERIA, BUT I SPENT N5k PER WEEK ON ECONOMY SCALE! AND YOU ARE COMING HOME AFTER 5 YEARS EXPECTING TO COME HOME WITH JUST N200,000k. YOU BETTER STAY BACK! CAUSE YOU WILL JUST COME AND MAKE A FOOL OF YOURSELF.
YOU SHOULD BE TALKING OF COMING HOME TO SPEND N1.5M ON ECONOMY SCALE. Don't forget you are coming to the east you should keep extra N1m to bail yourself out in case kidnappers gbab you.

_{Reminder: Kidnapping bail out prices: Okada Rider - N3k, Taxi Driver - 5K, Ochanja Trade-50k, 200k, 450K depending on his trade, Obodo Oyibo returnee(with jeep) N3m, without jeep N500k - N1.5m depending on the family, politician N300m, nollywood actor N1.5m - N10m. Note: price maybe reviewed upward depending on deregulation and increased population based on yuletide.}

@bold, where did u gt dat from, go sleep murrafucka

ezeagu:
The truth is Nigerians in Peckham do live like lower life forms in Peckham and south London, in fact half of them don't officially exist in London society because they're illegal. People back in the village where they have the most basic of things look 30x better than those in Peckham.

Shurrup u murrafucka!

back up your allegation with valid statistics,
