@ house
i was refused a tourist visa last month and was not given a full right of appeal, does this mean i am banned.

UK tourist visa application does not normally attract the full rights of appeal. And if you were refused the visa for reason of fake or fraud document, then, there should be no doubt in your mind.

How old are you, how may we help you, what exactly do you want?
   Talking about the "money paid into an account", what account is that, does that benefit also apply to a person who is not an habitual resident in the UK?

Well done, man. So, this guy, after being exposed several times now came here pretending to be a genuine someone with his selfish advice. He probably would have succeeded in winning the poster's trust and then lure him into private corresepondence where he'd then scam him.

lordizak:
Hi nlanders, my elder brother in belgium, promise me that he will take me along with him if he comes xmas. But i asked him that i should commence with my visa preparation, but he said i should hold-on till he comes. And he's going to stay only a week.

Yes, it's possible, he probably has an arranged travel document for you, and he will coach you on how to use it; easier when you travel along with him.
   My advice: keep this to yourself and make sure you don't upload your photo in your profile, at least while the plan lasts; also, you may request the moderator to delete this thread so it won't be discoursed further. Remember, this website is accessible the world over,

Regarding your accommodation details, your brother (the sponsor) was/is expected to provide evidence that his rented or owned property has certain number of rooms, and though the council tax documents and utility bills are evidence that he lives in a house, but they are not proofs that he has an accommodation for you.

   And as for your financial circumstance, It's very hard to pick against refusal. By your own admission, you stated that the reason your salary doesn't reflect in your bank statement is the fact that the company you work for is "a small business enterprises in Nigeria", this alone explains that your financial circumstance is not encouraging, and that the company you work for does not represent a kind of solid company that can guarantee your employment, something to return to Nigeria for, hence it will not convince the judge that you will be a genuine visitor to the UK. If really you know the guidelines for visa approval or refusal, you would see that applicants financial status and obligations are the first things to consider as credibility and ties to return home for. But, in your own case, even if you were given the benefits of doubt, what would you give as your home ties and obligation to return home for?

   There is nothing i can say now that would change anything since the appeal is in progress, so let's just hope for success on the ground of miracle.

But as for the advice of what to do here:

debenjie:
Can anyone give advise on what I can do on the account? The tribunal said they may make decision on my appeal on or after December 2010. It's paper hearing. I'm asking because I don't want anything to jeorpadise my chance of getting the visa after the appeal is allow.

My answer remains the same: "The biggest risk of jeopardising your chance for the visa is; attempting to play smart with your account statement by ultering the figures. Do not ever try to temper it as it will definitely be detected and you'd be banned from the UK for 10 years." Use the bank statement as it is

My friend, things are easier when done orderly, you should have made adequate arrangements to make yourself qualified for the visa before going for the application. Honestly, as hard as it is to say, i judge that you made it so easy for the visa officer to reach a decision, and as harder as it is to say further, you don't stand much of a chance in your appeal except for a miracle.
   This is not a case of ill wishes, but let's just be fair; your own brother (who you claimed to be your sponsor) has probably not demonstrated enough willingness or provisions to support your application by his omission to provide:
* Evidence of his financial circumstance
* Willingness to maintain you in the UK
* Evidence of his employment
* Accommodation details for you and,
* Has not shown convincing interest to cover all expenses.
Mind you, his immigration history also plays a major role.
   Bedsides, the money you claim to be making in a month (£133) is deemed ridiculous in the eyes of the visa officer who knows fully well that an ordinary sales girl in the UK can make that amount in just 2 days. So, how would he be convinced that you're going to be a genuine visitor in the UK?

I see that you're online, please wait, while i read your letter and get back to you.

@Vicjustice-do u mean i shd 4get ukraine and go 4 malaysia,but i cant play ball in malaysia or 'll it be possible

I didn't mention that you should forget about Ukraine, i only told you what you should be prepared for

Hi all,

I've been following the website since over a week about the visa appeal. I applied for UK family visit visa in July 2010 to visit my elder brother and was refused in the same month. Filed appealed Aug 2010 through the UK Embassy in Lagos later sent to tribunal service and assigned appeal number in September 2010. My elder brother is in UK and is my sponsor, he will incurred all the expenses for the trip, does the embassy will still ask for my bank statement if my appeal is allow?

My personal bank statement is in lower balance now and the company I worked for, usually pay my salary in cash not to the account. Whenever I was paid, the salary goes to different expenses couldn't have anything to deposit in my account since October 2010. . .

Well, as we do not know the exact grounds of your visa refusal, it may be unwise to advice.
   But given that your financial circumstance is questionable, my question is: If you don't have reasonable money in your account, and you've been refused a visa apparently for this reason, then what are you appealing against?
   Appeal simply means: a legal proceeding in which you resorts to a higher body for the purpose of obtaining a review of a lower body's decision and a reversal of the previous judgment or the granting of re-consideration when you think a decision is unjust or has breached your rights. But i do not think the ECO's decision is wrong and appealable in this occasion.

Hi House, Me and my fiancee are looking for a place in Nigeria to start life, after our wedding which is coming up very soon. Please could you advice me on any city/town in Nigeria where we can start up. At present we live in Lagos but we want to move out because of the harsh condition in terms of business, housing, transportation, comfort, e.t.c

Maiduguri

@vicjustice
your point is noted. Actually i was just trying to say since he said he has prayed and believe that he shd travel then there is no need to ask people 4 their advice

Well said. But actually, i don't think he is requesting advice on choice suggestions, i assume he meant guidance on the imaginable ways to get abroad.

Balzac:
I need only serious and genuine advice here. Anybody that has nothing useful to say please pass.

I had overstayed in the UK 10yrs ago and was deported. Since then I have settled in Nigeria and doing well and have travelled to other European countries on holiday. I applied for a UK visit visa earlier this year (to genuinely visit) but didnt indicate in my application that I had been deported because I thought that after 10years they ignore such records. They denied the visa and said I am further banned for another 10yrs before applying for another visa for not stating my deportation and applying for indefinite stay.

When I read the rejection letter I actually laughed because I'll be 50 in 10yrs time and it is my children that will be doing the travelling then not me.

Is it possible to appeal or plead for leniency and reapply for a visit visa before the suspension period elapses?

Genuine advise only please.

Check the date and see if it is really after or before 10 years that you were deported.
Unfortunately, there is nothing you can do if you've been banned, and i mean absolutely nothing. I can imagine how it feels, but they won't even pay attention to any further correspondence from you until after the 10 years

Note: The ban did not start from the day that you were removed from the UK, but from the day that you made the fresh application for the visa. That's how they enforce it

gestapo:
Ouch, ouch and ouch, what a classic put down I love this vicjustice





That wasn't a story,but his own opinion

With the awareness that there are smart people like you, i'm loving Nairaland. Thanks my dear.

fbiswagger:
At Vicjustice, I am happy that we have made u look silly enough to finally accept your ignorance. Next time thread carefully and do your research well b4 u make an ignorant rant

Could there be a better definition for "Silly" than a person who gets violently mad when another disbelieves his story?
   And doesn't "Ignorance" mean: the lack of knowledge that people have the rights to thier opinions?

Siena:
Vicjustice, that report wasn't fake. I saw it two days ago on CNN, and later on the same day on BBC News 24.

@ All, take a look at Siena and learn the civilised way to address someone who seems not to agree with your opinions. It is a pity that you guys are deeply en-rooted in your arrogance that you throw insults and curses without even knowing it.
   Dear Siena, thank you for the hint, i've eventually confirmed so soon after i made that comment. Initially, i thought it was a baseless story hence the comment.

tigerpaws:
You got some beef with vicjustice before?   He asked a simple question

Stop displaying your 'little arrogance' in order to be noticed. . . and hey nice pic (if that's really you) welcome to the forum newbie

Thank you so much, Tigress. Hey, but you made a great observation, she's got nice, sexy pic.

@I-shi't-for body,
Is that really you? I must say that you've got the curves, but sad that you didn't show the behaviour of a good girl, i would have asked you to model for my business.

asiwaju:
@ishit4body,

Take it easy lady,you see Vicjustice is just asking you a Question,there are so many scams going on here,that is why people are very sensible here on Travel section,so my sister i will asked the same Question again,(for you giving such advice,are you going to benefit from the business).

Asiwaju.

Thanks for coming in. You see, one gets used to the swearing and cursing and the name calling from faceless nonentities hiding behind computer monitors just because you see things different from the way they see them. These are the same individuals that would kneel down to greet "goodmorning sir" when they meet you in person.

ishit4body:
Asiwaju

Read my comment and tell me how that indicates that I want him to pay or how it interprets to me benefiting from the visa.

I dont know him, i dont want to know him. It is really sick to ask me such a question.

It's really sick to ask you that question, but it's not sick that you "shi't for body" as your username implies?

ishit4body:
there is no way you can do that. Usually, when they send you the visa. You pay them on arrival at the airport. Beside, the visas are cheap, why are you worried?

Why would you encourage him to pay for a suspicious service, or are you benefiting from it, yourself?

@ Chuxs,
   DO NOT SEND ANY MONEY TO ANY ACCLAIMED VISA AGENTS, THEY ARE 99% LIKELY TO BE FAKE. THOUGH, WE KNOW THAT THE UAE IS AN ARAB NATION, BUT TAKE THESE POINTS AND QUESTIONS INTO CONSIDERATION:
*HOW DID YOU KNOW THESE VISA AGENTS?
*WHAT DO YOU REALLY KNOW ABOUT THEM?
*WHAT METHODS OF PAYMENT DO THEY PREFER?
*DO THEY HAVE ANY PHYSICAL REPRESENTATIVE THAT WOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE IN THE EVENT OF YOU BEING SCAMMED?
*HAVE YOU TESTED THEIR CREDIBILITY ENOUGH?
*TEST THEM TO SEE IF THEY ARE WILLING TO ASSIST YOU WITH OTHER COUNTRY'S VISAS
*TRY THEIR PATIENCE AND SEE IF THEY ARE IN A HURRY TO GET PAYMENTS FROM YOU.
*WHO PROVIDED THE DOCUMENTS USED FOR THE VISAS?
*DID THEY EVER TRY TO HURRY YOU UP DURING OR THROUGH THE PROCESS?
   I STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU PAY THEM NO MONEY ESPECIALLY THROUGH WESTERN UNION OR MONEY GRAM AS YOU ARE EXTREMELY LIKELY TO BE DUPED: ASK FOR THEIR BANK ACCOUNT, AND GET BACK TO US SO WE MAY JUDGE FROM THERE

@vicj
Inviting me, is a colleague and also a long time friend, who will be giving a lecture at the event,
Yea, i plan to be honest about the documents i use. and the passport i had has the refusal stamp on it,  so, i dnt want to be wound up in this fair identity, multiple passport, or issues about age difference pple get themselves in,  My job is sufficient and i take holiday to less stressed countries when i can,

Wise talk. You seem to be a worthy someone, and a visa application from you deserves to be treated with merit. But i'm a bit concerned about the ground on which you're making this application, however, if you really desire to make it through the conference, then, arm yourself with an explicit invitation letter from the conference lecturer who you said is "a colleague and also a long time friend", Your personal relationship with him might also be taken into consideration, and your adequate knowledge about the conference and its organisation together with your interest and expected benefits might see you through, but yet, a visa can not be guaranteed
