zabrinma: @vicjustice... thanx so much bro please my ask remain what's your advice on my case as have stated before the only false document i presented was the police report with the claim of travelling to the two said countries which I dont intend attarching in my next application cause I used the same documents without the falso police report to obtain my turkey,south africa,india and Malaysia visa, I was just naive to have added that when I applied for the uk, so please advice me to correct the wrongs on the two reasons why I was refused, thank you cause since I found this site and going through all threads have learnt the risk in submitting fake documents so its the last thing I will do so please advice bros

It seems you want encouragement rather than to accept the reality of the gravity of the situation that you are into.
I don't want to give you false hope based on wishes, but to tell you the undesired truth that you are in an unfavourable situation that does not seem to have an immediate solution.
If you apply for a UK visa again, your travel history would be looked into and scrutinized, and if you do not apply now, the infraction and the consequence will be waiting for the day that you will apply again.
The only way that you can get away with it is if the deception is not discovered.
I'm sorry to disappoint you by saying that i don't have a solution for this situation.

tedd: I'm really impressed with the way you handle and solve problems on this thread. I believe you'll as well advice me on the best thing to do. In 2009 I was issued a 10year ban from entering the UK. My offence was that I used a fake WAEC( West Africa Examination Council) certificate in my student admission processing. It was no fault of mine. My original WAEC result was burnt in a fire disaster in 2006(I have proof and documents to support this). While I was processing my visa, Chelis Education Consult( They also introduced me to the college I applied to) who was assisting me with advisory services told me since I have just a statement of result from my secondary school, that I should go to WAEC HQ office and request for a replacement with a WAEC Certificate. I was issued a fake copy by touts that I thought were staffs and the result had the exact statement with my burnt certificate and results when you check online. I innocently submitted my documents with all tuition fees fully paid and bank statements but was banned for forgery. Please advice me how I can go about this so that the ban can be reversed. Thank you

Sorry to hear this, you seem to have been a victim of circumstance.
You could have appealled the ban or requested an administrative review when you had the opportunity in 2009, but now, the window is closed and therefore, the ban stands until you do the full 10 years

omololla: Good day..
Please I need ur advice on something serious..
It's about my sister n her husband. She's married to an Irish man n they intend travelling to Ireland last year wen she was pregnant but was sent back at d Airport just because of d pregnancy.
She later tried again after wen she delivered her baby but was refused again... She was told that the husband who is an Irish man is not financial sound to cater for her n d child... All this happens last year.
Now she wanted to go during easter n don't know how
Can u please put us through. ......
Thanks

If her husband (who is a citizen of Ireland) is not financially sound, it therefore means that she is required to meet the requirements on her own.
I hope the husband is not on Social welfare care, if so, she should forget about Ireland

zabrinma: @vicjustice.... thanx for your reply and advice and I dont intend to appeal or go for review all I want to do is reapply in 3 months timewhen I can prove change in my circumstances so thanx for your help and advice but advice on how to apply next time in resolving the reasons of my refusal will be much appreciated, thanx

You seem to be a very confident one, but my friend, i can tell you that (it is a potentiality that) you are in a serious trouble due to the previous use of deception even if it was not discovered (or so you think), but remember that the embassy keeps your files and your every information is saved under your data: so, you would have to defend that false claim regarding your travel history: therefore, you may resort to lying further to defend it or confessing to have used deception and both actions carry the 10 years ban.
Good luck

suxes2005: Vic,
Glad to have you on nairaland. Thanks for been there for US always.
My inquiry is about Egypt embassy. I tried to search for the right address of the
embassy on google but yet to find the right one. Please if you do know or anyone
here knows their address, kindly help me out with it.
Thanks
SHALOM

If my memory serves me right, Egypt does not have an embassy in Nigeria, not sure though.

zabrinma: @vicjustice... plesase you and I know if I wasunder fraudulent deceptive measures then the BHC wont let me walk without a ban and like I said earlier the only decept documents was the police report claiming have travelled to two other countries on my old missing passport besides that all documents are true,and have seen you on here handle more worse cases than mine on here with advice so please advice cause have written the two reasons I was refused with 1.my monthly income to less to the money I intend to spend in the uk 2.there is money in my accounts they dont see prove of, I taught this house is to help no matter the situation or is my issue worse than the 10 years ban cause have seen you given fruitful advice to those in that mess,so bro I beg look through my case again administrative review i beg now. Cheers

Appeal is an avenue that provides you the opportunity to prove yourself, giving the reasons why you think an earlier decision was flawed or illegal especially when you think your fundamental rights were not observed or were violated.
Administrative Review is an avenue that presents the opportunity to request that an earlier application should be re-examined because you think that the facts presented during the initial application were not thoroughly given the consideration that they deserve.
So, which of the two category qualifies your application?

zabrinma: Bros thats the question below including the refusal letter
Bros vicjustice I dont understand the meaning of red bolded please guys I picked up my application yesterday

Considerably more than your stated monthly income,you submitted two personal bank statement total balance of 21,650 GHS (7,173 pounds) however although you have submitted some business documents and cash slips I am not satisfied you have sufficiently demonstrated the origin of the funds in the bank statements l am therefore not satified you have submitted. Reliable evidence of your financial circumstances or that you will be able to fund your proposed visit.

Please house is it becaue we are from third word and our passport is not valued cause I know and believe 60 % of whites that travel are not up to what we have achieved
Ok guys responds needed and help how to go about cause I plan to apply in three months later so I can prove them my circumstances have changed thanx waitng for una....vicjustice and justwise over to you guys

I'm sorry to disappoint you, but looking into your records as revealed in your earlier posts, it is unreasonable for me to give you a valid advise after knowing that your application is fraudulent as results of the deceptive measures that you took: these revelations put your entire claims in a position of no credibility thus making any advise in the regard unreasonable.
Please, understand that I'm not trying to be a saint, but that it won't make any sense to advise you on the way forward since I have doubts on your true circumstances.

zabrinma: ok bro you right I made Some false presentation and the only false document in my application was the police report claiming have travelled to countries which have never travelled to on my lost passport and thank God I got away with it without a ban it has happened and I got refused and have stated the reason of refusal in written but till now i have not gotten and reply from you guys which I still look forward to so please vicjustice and justwise please make una answer me guys

Please, what's that question again?

lightofjoy: A quick one pls, can I include my car particulars in my application documents.

To be honest, car ownership is absolutely irrelevant in a visa application. I understand that car ownership represents a degree of wealth in Nigeria (Africa), but it is not the same in Europe where an ordinary sales Girl can purchase a perfectly sound secondhand car with just one week wage.
So, if you present a Car document, the only interest that the visa officer would have in it is to be certain that the document is not fake, and once s/he is satisfied of the genuineness and that he can not use it against you, s/he will put it aside and focus on other relevant documents.

gonelsystems: Is it okay to book a one way Ticket if going for studies?

Perfectly safe: since you are not returning anytime soon

dove30: Your application has been approved and the visa has been issued. We aim to return passports to the VAC within 2 working days. You can check the location of your passport at www.ukvac-ng.com. ABEG GUYS WE GOT THIS TEXT WITHIN 6 DAYS.DOES THIS ACTUALLY MEAN VISA AS BEEN ISSUED
WE ARE THREE THAT SUBMITTED THE SAME PERIOD AND GOT THE MESSAGE TO OUR EMAIL FROM ABUJA.DID THEY SEND ANYONE THIS EMAIL AND WAS VISA GIVEN TOO

You mean you suspect that the Embassy is playing with your nerves?
Well, they have your phone numbers for some reasons, and they can choose to send a message or not to any applicant that they please according to the discretion of the officer who attends to the application so: the fact that some people did not receive text messages does not mean that those who received text messages should have reasons for suspicion.
These said, the Text Message seems genuine and the content is fully comprehensive. So, congratulations!

Indeed, your documents are original, but how do you explain the red bolded highlights?

Dramadiddy: im 17.. and i jst checked the countries dat their custody order is valid in the uk and nigeria is not in the list...i need help please

You are ineligible to apply for a Dependant Visa or for a Family Union Visa under an "uncle" who does not have the legal rights of custody over you: your "uncle" should have processed the formal documents in Nigeria and then legalised it with the UK authority (while you were under 16), and that will give him the legal rights to be your official guardian.

Dramadiddy: Please guys, I need ur advice on what to do on this... you have applied to join Mr. A, whom you state is your uncle in the uk in support of your application. You have provided birth certificates, death certificates, photographs, school records and copies of emails. You state that your parents died in 2010 and since then you have been living with Mr. A's cousin. There is nothing to show that Mr. A has had day to day responsibility for you. You need to demonstrate that he provides you with all the emotional, financial and other needs which you may and do have that he can and does exercise full control over the major aspects of your life, such as schooling, religion, medical care, etc. Although you have provided school documents that your fees have been paid and letters from you to Mr. A thanking him for paying your fees, there is no evidence that he actually paid them. The letter from your school states that Mr. A has been your guardian all through 2006-2013, however you state that your parents died in June 2010 and that Mr. A became your guardian after that date. You have stated in your form that you keep in touch with Mr. A and his wife through via phone calls and emails. You have provided copies of emails from you to his wife but these are few in number and only cover the periods nov-dec 2012 and june-august 2013. You have provided a birth certificate for yourself dated October 23, 2013 and death certificates for your parents dated 02 October 2013. Your birth certificate has been produced over 16 years since the date of your birth and death certificates have been produced over 3 years since the date of your parent's death. As such, I consider these to be self serving documents and am not satisfied that you are related to Mr. A as claimed. Having considered all of this, i am not satisfied that Mr. A has had sole responsibilty for your upbringing. I therefore refuse your application under paragrph 297(i)(e) of the immigration rules.
You have provided no detail or evidence or your current care arangements in Nigeria. You state that you have been living with Mr. A's cousin since the death of your parents in 2010. You state that this cousin is married and you can no longer stay with them. Due to the lack of evidence of this arrangement, and the above stated concerns about your relationship with Mr. A, I am not satisfied that there are serious and compelling family or other considerations which make your exclusion undesirable and that suitable arrangements have been made for your care. I therefore refuse your application under paragraph 297(i)(f) of the immigration rules.
Please can you help point out the reasons they refused the application because there are many things written and I don't which is correct or wrong. Please thanks

Even if you have every documentary evidence that you are related to this "uncle" and even if his responsibilities and providences for your welfare are documented, the visa officer still has a hundred and one reasons to refuse your application.
You "uncle" needs to have the guardian clearance which is (state approved) legal custody rights over you who must not be older than 16

lahwummie: @vicjustice...thanks for your earlier reply, I appreciate all. Want to ask for your last advice. As I explained that the study visa was refused Eco stating * you have failed to attach documentary to your claim* Now that have got the documents (1,letter from my lawyer,2,letter from d previous sponsor(that said bank never called him) and a 3,declaration from the bank).
I attach all these they said I failed to attach and then REAPPLY.
What do you think? Thanks.

That is what you need to do to put things right otherwise, the suspicion of using deception will remain against you and you may be liable to a ban.
Now, as for reapplication, who did you say is sponsoring you this time?

Dramadiddy: morning guys....pls if u made ur application in lagos nd ups tried deliverin ur package nd failed..where do dey return d package back to..is it lagos or abuja?

Courier companies usually keep the undelivered parcels for 3 business days, expecting you to to call at the office for collection, but if you fail to show up within the 3 business days, your parcel will be returned to sender

There are more places than mentioned in the video, i personally experienced the midnight sun in Latvia during its summer, i bet you, the same goes with Estonia and other countries in north Europe zones

lahwummie: @vicjustice.. Please kindly give a quick response, do I go for Review or Reapply? So I can do that by tomorrow. Am sorry for disturbing you. Thanks
Since review is done if you think the ECO's decision is wrong.
His not wrong, because I truly did not attach a documentary 2 the claim that my sponsor for the first application was not contacted.
Please assist a sister,so I dont miss my admission.

I actually replied your earlier post just that I mistakenly quoted somebody else instead of you. I've rectified that now and I'm reposting it here also.
"Be advised that these people treat administrative review in priority order and not on the basis of First-Come-First-Serve, so, if they observe that your case does not seem to fall into any of these categories:
1) Your application is not one that is based on fundamental rights
2) That your original refusal is not a violation of your rights
3) The visa officer did not seem to have miscarried justice in refusing the application etc
In your case, i am of the opinion that the refusal wasn't a miscarriage of justice, and the reviewers know this hence they are not in a hurry to attend to it while they have more serious issues to take care of.
If you reapply a hundred time, you would be refused all the time as long as they hold that resentment against you. Take my earlier suggestion and present a declaration as demanded by the visa officer who refused your application"

mr flow: @Vicjustice thanks for ur comment. However,I don't get it. Since sept 4, dat I sent the administrative review,I av not heard anything from them even if its a mail to acknolege receipt of d review and oda stuffs. Is there anyone who has any phone no I can contact them on to follow up? Am also thinking of applying again and dis time with my wife and 2 kids. Do uuu think I shld hold on and still expect somthing on d review? Or to go ahead and reapply. And is dere any suuggestions if am reapplying? Thanks

I said that you are of course because, you seem to have done what ought to have done and that left me with nothing to contribute

lahwummie: @ vicjustice...Sorry about my use of english. And thank u for taking your time, really he was not contacted by the bank.
Now, do you think i should do an Administrative Review or I get the supporting document failed to attach previously and the reapply? Because I heard review might be taking long. My school is resuming 20th Jan.
Am planning of getting a letter from my ex husband with his company's letter head that was used previously,his passport page,drivers license and a letter from my lawyer. But am not sure about the Declaration letter from the bank.
Do you think that will be good?
Should I go for review or reapply?.
Thanks

zabrinma: Thanx bros but i didnt state on the police report the year i travelled to those false country and that was on my old passport which was missing so Probably I should be expecting the 10 year ban,wow ignorance is a big shame and this was a friends advice who
has been to the uk before,Thanx for the quick respond bros so what do i tell them incase they call me for interview

The year will be irrelevant at this stage, the initial interest would be to find out whether your claims to have traveled to the mentioned countries are true, and if found to be true, only then would the year come into question.

Ignorantly.

The delay is (most likely) because they are doing background check with the countries that you claimed to have visited: Naive indeed, you should have known that both the UK and the countries that you lied with are all in the EU.

mr flow: mr flow: Hello Guys, I need ur urgent advice and input on an issue:
I applied to go for vacation with my 1st daughter but we were refused. The reasons for refusal are given below verbatim;
U state dat u re going to d UK for a vacation.I note that d u av applied with a girl u purport to be ur daughter.u av submitted a birth cert and a letter u purport to be from d girls mother.d birth cert u submitted for the 10 year old girl was dated 3 days before ur visa application and 10 years after her birth. U av submitted no early fotos of urself with dis girl and ur wife.in d absence of any corroborating contemporaneous preef from d date of her birth,I am not satisfied dat dis cert shows that u re d father to the girl applicant that u av applied with. Furthermore u av not submitted adequate evidence so dat d signature on d consent letter that u av submitted from ur purpoted spouse can be verified(we used her drivers license as I'd as she didn't have intl passport den). It wld not be unreasonable of me to expect to see a copy of d passport biodata page so dat signatures can be verified. Given dis I am derefore not satisfied dat u are a genuine visitir to d uk and dat u will leave at d end of ur trip.....

After dis,I wrote for an adminsitrative review and attached d follwing docs;
1.About 40 family picyures dat shows our courtship from universit days to d birth of d child and her grwing up
2. Anoda consent letter from my wife with a sworn affidavit and her intl passport biodata page
3. A police report and court affidavit stating that d childs initial birt cert was misplaced a few days to d visa application and dat was why we went to national population sommision for anoda bcert.
4. Proof of my stable employment in d country and reasons why I will def come back to nigeria.etc

I sent the docs via DHL since sept 4th but av not heard anytin till date.pls what do u advise?

You're on course

lahwummie: @vicjustice: d story so far,applied 4 a visit visa 2012 n was refused(reason stating first bank contacted d sponsor but denied sponsoring). The sponsor as at den was my husband (now ex). So lik on d 18th I applied 4 study visa and was refused again ( reason stating in ur personal statement, u claimed d sponsor wasnt called and u failed 2 add a supporting documentary to that,therefore I refue you). My present study visa had no issue, I had 40 points and all was cool, just dat dey refered back 2 my previous refusal. Now do I review or reapply with the supportn documents they said I dint attach.

Please, be considerate enough to write in standard English and with standard spellings.
Well, every application is supposed to be treated in its own merit especially if previous applications are transparent and straight forward, but if there is an issue with deception or any other infraction is involved, then theywoVisa Officers would always want to refuse your application for reason of previous mistakes.
In your case, there is the likelihood that you either used deception or that you were sneaking in your attempt to obtain a tourist visa by presenting a "sponsor" who is not willing to participate in your travel plans, so the onus is on you to prove that the circumstances sorounding your previous Tourist visa application was genuine otherwise, your reputation is affected in such a way that they can't trust you with a Student Visa as it already suggests to them that you are desperate to leave the country.
If really your ex husband wasn't called by the bank, then, perhaps you need to contact the bank to make this declaration in a statement letter and also to meet your ex husband to write an undertaking to that effect: until this is resolved, you may be facing a lengthy (continues) refusal by the embassy, more or less like being under the 10 years ban

lightofjoy: Heelo fello Nairalanders, pls I need your advice: I work & reside in Nigeria with a monthly earning of 190K though I also get some money from my personal consulting that I do. My father(a Nigerian) is a citizen of France but lives in the UK in a rented 2 bedroom duplex. One of my sibling (nigerian) who is also a citizen of France also stay with him in the same address. I want to go to the UK just for 10 days holiday, what type of visa should I applied for and what document do I submit and I have about 500K in my account. Should I state that I will stay with him or should I book my own hotel? Kindly advice me. Thanks

It actually depends on the convenience of the rented properties, whether it has enough space and adequate accommodation for you.
As for the N500k, forget it.

lahwummie: @ justwise and house please help!!

Urgent please!

You did not state the type of visa that you applied for, and also, your explanations that you gave is not very comprehensive: it would have been better if you gave the exact words of the visa officer (as in the refusal notice).
By the way, did you say that you applied for a STUDEBT visa (for a school that will be resuming on JANUARY 20th) under the sponsorship of your EX HUSBAND?

Dramadiddy: i mean pray its successful u didnt get me

I did understand you, and the question still is:
What sort of prayer that would change an already made decision?
Or hasn't the visa officer made the decision yet?

miz Gene: Hiyaa,
Pls does anyone know any places where I can get this service? I have this lovely top quality luggage that I have been using for a while, just happens that the retractable handle got broken I need to replace/repair this asap. I saw that the lady cobbler does luggage repairs too, has any1 here used them b4? any idea of their affordability?
p.s hope I posted this in the rt section..

Everything can be repaired in Nigeria, even things as cheap as bathroom slippers are fixed. Just take the luggage to those who repair everything ranging from umbrellas to cooking stoves, they definitely can do justice to your cherished luggage.

Dramadiddy: wow...jst tracked my application now and they said processed application delivered on ups..guys pray for me ooo pls...i ll let u guys know when i go to d vac...omg!!!!

What sort of prayer that would change an already made decision?

seeprob: House, i want to renew my 2yrs visa along with my wife(expired 6 months) and infant daughter. what year will i apply for my infant daughter (its her first passport without travel history) will my infant daughter go along with us for 2yrs or 6 months

Infants are dependants, therefore they are entitled to the same privileges as their parent(s).
Since you already had a two years visa which you're now renewing, and your wife is applying for same (2 years) visa, then, your infant is entitled for same even if it will be its first application.
As it is less than likely that you and your wife are not going to travel without the baby, it is therefore not logical for you and your wife to apply for the 2 years visa while you apply for a 6 months visa for the baby: also, it is unreasonable to be downgraded (or demoted from the 2 years category to 6 months) for reason of your baby.
