You clearly encouraged her to withhold the info, so basically when asked in the form if she has been refused a visa to any country before you want her to say NO because according to you US and the UK do not share data on visa refusals and that the US did not stamp her passport.

That is misrepresentation.

We have to because you are naively misleading people here. British embassy keeps record of every applicant refused or issued a visa. You don't encourage people to lie because you think that the embassy doesn't keep record. That is very wrong and not allowed here.

You shouldn't say you are sure of what you are not actually sure about.

Its really bad idea to encourage somebody to lie on visa application.

He failed to disclosed his previous visa refusal and he was denied visa for withholding info

damidamsel:
Tx alot for your response.... So u advise i add my previous employment letter, retrenchment and payslip despite being over 9months ago. Do i explain this in a cover letter? Also do u think the 2.7m is good enough or do we wait and build the acct higher? Tx once again

justwise:
Really? So what will be the answer when he is asked if he has been refused a visa to any country before?

Hello house

I got denied US visa last year and now want to apply for UK visa. as there isn't any stamp on my passport when the denial was issued , do I have to declare it please.

Just don't want it to cause any issues for me.

Thank you for your advice .

Hello house....greetings to you all....I would like to seek help with regards to my family's plan on applying for a uk visit visa by November to travel in December . Our case goes thus:

I have a valid USA visit visa, previously stayed in the us for 4years on student visa, just got back from the US about 3months ago. I have been to Canada twice (all evident in my passport) My hubby has not travelled out before. He is just planning on visiting SA. He had been denied usa visit visa on previous passport. Our infant is a US citizen. I have not worked this year as I lost my job last Dec due to downsizing. I was earning 420k gross. Could not get back to work as I was pregnant. Would most likely be starting a job in Oct. I have mybiz registered since Dec '15 but no income yet as I had not done anything due to birthing. Hubby currently earns 200k net and our acct is abt 2.7m. We plan on spending a week in Dec just for hols as we plan to be back in time for my family's visit ( my mum and sisters who are us citizens are visiting naija). I elaborated this as I have the ffg questions:
1) Is there a chance of my travel history and baby's US citizenship being a positive thing in getting our visa
2) Can we apply with hubby solely as sponsor and I as housewife ( or 1months salary if all goes well and i start a job in Oct), is his income & bank balance solid enough
2b) Would hubby's travel history and previous usa visa denial be a deterrent ?
3) I have an uncle who is a British citizen, does he need to send us an invitation letter?
4) Our budget is £2000, would this suffice for 1week with possible stay in hotel if we go non-invitation route
5) I am confused, do we include our baby on the application since she doesn't need the visa ( Neither hubby nor I have ever applied for uk visa so we do not know the format)

Sorry if some of my questions sound silly, it's 'novice syndrome' and sorry abt d million and one questions. Thanks in anticipation.

Please I need your advise.

My sister and her 2 children wants to travel to the uk for a visit/tourism.

I live in the uk and happy to provide a letter and proof of address to confirm that I will be accommodating the. During their stay. Can I check that's enough . I want to include my council tax bill, letter and proof of ILR

Her husband will be fully sponsoring the trip. He has a business registered in Nigeria . But he won't be travelling with them. My sister is more like a house wife now as she is looking after their young children. But I gather her name is on the company registration as deputy director.

My question is what docs they need to submit please
Your advice will be highly appreciated . Please let me know if you have any questions

Iamabraham:
Good evening everyone

Please, I need some clarifications.

1. How do I get my transcript, passport data page and certificate certified in Nigeria.

2. I need to send the certified documents to a friend in UJ, how can I do this?

Thanks.

You should note that because this application for entry clearance has been refused under paragraph 320 (7a)of the immigration rules, any future application may also be refused under paragraph 320 (7b) of the immigration rules, (subject to the requirements set out in paragraph 320 (7c).
A refusal under paragraph 320 (7b) of the immigration rules attracts an automatic refusal period of up to 10 years. The period starts from the date of the previous events in which the deception or submission of falsified documents or information was employed.
I have therefore refused your application because I am not satisfied on the balance of probabilities that you meet all of the requirements of relevant paragraph of United Kingdom immigration rules.
Your right of appeal is limited to the grounds referred to in section 84(1)(c)of the nationality, immigration and asylum act 2002(www.lehislation.hov.uk).

Hello all, great job. Please i want to apply for a SA visa and i need clarification on some issues, firstly i run my own business, the business name is registered but i use my personal savings account for it so i do not know if this would be an issue.

Secondly, do i just write one letter of introduction on a letter head stating my address what i do and also the visa request instead of having to write a self introduction letter and business letter separately. Would one introduction letter suffice?

Thirdly, i made a hotel reservation via booking.com but i made payment and i also got a receipt directly from the hotel. I hope this would also suffice?

Lastly can anyone provide a sample of self introduction letter for a business owner, i seem to be writing an epistle.

Thanks in advance

Hello, My sister in law has just been refused a family visit visa to visit my family in the Uk, Myself and my wife are settled in the UK. The problem is the reason they gave for refusal is totally different from our circumstances. They talked about her visiting her twin brother which is not true. This mix up is crazy and i do not know what to do. Hope you can help, Thank you.

Febuary last year till this august that i applied is a year and 5 months. My last visa, i applied as a housewife and i travelled with my whole family cos i haven't started my business. This time around i applied myself with my docs. I hear people say here that you need a business that is atleast a year old.
Someone please shed some more light.
What if you wait till like November? By then your company will be atleast a year old.


quote author=canalarge post=48961374]CAC docs of my biz name which was incorporated feb last yr

I presumed that your last 6months visa, you did not use this company which was only incorporated in February last year because I hear if your company is very new, they chances of getting a visa is very slim.

My company was incorporated October last year, what are my chances.

Please advise.

Go ahead and include those documents,since you have travelled as a house wife,it clearly means you have increased your chances of getting your visa renew,it also means you have moved on from been a dependant to independent person...Best of luck

Good morning house, please I need your help on this.
I want to apply for UK visiting visa. But the issue is, my cousin and I run the same business.He started the business alone. I joined after couple of months. I want to use the bank account for my UK visa {we both have access to the account}. Do I need anything from him. Maybe a letter. Also, he registered the business with his name before I joined.

Thanks in advance.
