peter2010: Urgent response needed plz!!!
Hello Vicjustice, justwise and other immigration experts in the house, i really appreciate your good work in here. May God continue to give u more wisdom to put people at the right track.
My purpose of writing is to let you know that I've just been refused a UK visa with their usual and flimsy excuses. I was refused based on my financial and circumstances in Nigeria. I attached all the necessary documents to show my financial status which include payslips from work, a bank statement that shows the salary payment from my employer, tax clearance, CSCS account. I dont lodge any large sum of money in my account apart from just my monthly salary payment directly from my employer. I had been travelling to uk and other european countries before without defaulting. For clearer view, i have attached a copy of the refusal letter with this mail.
Please i will like to do administrative review because i dont see any genuine reason why i shud be refused. Please can the experts in the house tell me how to go abt this asap. Thanks alot.

You explained that you presented your bank statement which shows your monthly income, but that wasn't what the ECO explained in the refusal notice, he said; "you (your bank statement) have failed to provide adequate evidence of your stated income", so who is correct then?
Well, with a monthly salary of N210.000k, I don't see any other reason for the refusal except for the proof of income.
Now, a review could take a long time to come through, so i'd suggest a reapplication: and you can explain your situation in the provided space for "additional information", and if the space in not enough, you are allowed to use extra sheet: it would be reasonable for you to request for an interview, there is a high chance that the request will be granted

[quote author=*Kails*]Honestly its simple.

America only allows a certain amout of people from each region "in" regardless.

Its all about the "status quo". They even admit ppl from countries they consider enemies to appear to be this utopia and "rainbow nation of all nations" blah blah.

Nigerian stereotypes may make up some of the reasons why Nigerians are denied in such high numbers, sure. And as someone else said, they know its because many nigerians if admitted would then turn and try to bring more from back home to join them. America does not want that.

Thats soo true, in fact Look at how bad they've gotten on mexicans despite sharing the same border and despite the fact that mexicans contribute the economy and depite the fact that they help build the nation (literally!). Mexicans are family oriented and nationalistic people so they believe in helping their kind achieve the "american dream" even if it means smuggling them in lol.

Americans still believe america to be a white nation - a mini europe away from europe so they want to limit the amount of colored folks that enter.

And even if you do qualify, you will have to shell out hundreds or thousands of dollars (depending on where you are from) JUST to become nationalized!

Lol they know what,they are doing. But i dare someone to please check the amount of europeans (anglos/germanic especially) they accept each year..

i promise you will see a huge difference....in fact i guarantee it. [/quote]Though, it is your entitled opinion, but i beg to differ that it doesn't make much of a sense to me.
You can not compare Europeans who travel to the US with Nigerians (Africans) who travel to the US: Europeans do not need visa to travel to the States and they do return home after their visit; and unlike Nigerians, no normal European would go to the states and become illegal resident there... It is also important to know that there are as many American seeking naturalisation in Europe as much as Europeans seeking naturalisation in America; but how many Americans are seeking naturalisation in Nigeria/Africa?

mosquitoway: hello nairlanders,

i have a problem i am hoping anyone on here could help me out with as i am confused, i have been on holidays to the uk severally and been to the uk 3 times this year, on my fourth visit this year, 3days ago i was stopped at immigration and quizzed, i have been planning on starting on my applications for a student visa for february and i planned to go for a holiday and return back in january to apply.i had my admission letter from a school i had already applied to on me and they believed i wanted to come and study on my visitors visa.i told them i only was coming for my sisters graduation,they called one of my sisters i have 2 in the uk and the otherr is getting married soon and she told the immigration i was coming for a wedding and didnt mention the graduation as well, the authorities saw this as conflicting information,i was refused entry and sent back to nigeria, stating conflicting information on my refusal to enter letter and intent to study on a visitors visa. my visa was not cancelled,but i think i have to appeal the decision so as to clarify myself properly and the situation does not degenerate.I am open to suggestions as right now i dont know the next step to taake neither do i know any process of appeal or anything, thank you for your help, i await good responses

Though, it is unlikely that you're under a ban, but the "problem" may be more serious than you think: being stopped at the port of entry and returned is serious enough to ruin your chances in future visa applications, it would take only an appeal to clear you

lekkynelson: My school sent dis message to me:- "DEAR STUDENT, OUR SYSTEM SHOWS YOUR VISA HAS BEEN PROCESSED FEW DAYS AFTER SUBMITTING YOUR APPLICATION.

You're not doing any good to this thread with your spam (repeatedly posting).
What else was in the email, or is that all?
Well, with the little info that you provided, I find it reasonable to suspect that the email you got might not have been from a genuine school: it is questionable how the school knows your visa application status?

justphillips: Vice-Consul, United States Consulate, Lagos, Mr. Christopher Richardson, says many applicants are refused American visas because they have not visited other countries.

Richardson spoke at a seminar on the ‘American Visa Regime: the role of lawyers’ organized by the Immigration Lawyers Forum in Lagos on Tuesday.

He said, “The majority of the visa applicants prefer the US as their first outing. This creates doubt, especially when the applicant has not visited any other countries before.”

If every country has to refuse visa applicants because they have not visited another country before, then, who will issue a visa to a legitimate traveller?
This is just as inconsiderate as a company offering employment to candidates who have had work experience with other companies: who then would employ a fresh graduate?

justphillips: Richardson also said applicants were also rejected visas because of the kind of answers they give to test questions during interviews.

He said, “When a question, such as ‘do you have a relation in the US?’ Most often, they are quick to say ‘yes’, which of course, is in order.

“Such an answer creates doubt that since the person has a relation, there is every tendency that the person may not want to come back. So visas can be rejected on that ground.”

This man should not be a spokes-man because his reasoning is utterly stυpid. How does having a relative in a country jeopardise the chance of a genuine visa applicant who wants to visit the country or his relative?
The only thing that may jeopardise your chance of visiting a country where you have a relative is the criminal record, the reputation, the activities, the social stance and the history etc of the relative who you use as a reference

DOMINION1: Hello Justwise, Vicjustice and the good people of Nairaland, i applied to attend my friends graduation ceremony and that i will be going on tour as well after the graduation, i stated that i will be staying for 9 days but in the refusal letter the ECO stated that i said i will be staying for 5 days.... i booked tour and hotel reservation as well but was refused with limited right to appeal.... below is the explaination why the ECO denied me. please advise. God bless you.





in order to make a decision on wether or not to grant you entry clearance in this category, i have taken into account your stated circumstance in Nigeria, the reasons for your visit, and your proposed travel arrangements. you stated that you are employed as a marketing manager earning N210,415(£842) per month.you stated that you wish to travel to the uk for the purpose of attending a friends graduation ceremony. when considering your circumstances in Nigeria coupled with the reason for your visit and associated costs, i am not satisfied that application meets the requirements of paragraph 41(i) and ii of immigration rules

The reason(s) for the refusal is neither given in your narration nor is it detailed in the refusal letter.

I Hate 9ja: all i mean,is that can i get a new passport with the name format i want to be on it @ abuja.coz the lost E-passpost wld expire dis 13th december.In short can i process a new passport without my finger print being dectected due to the formal lost passport in their database in immigration office @ abuja

I don't think you can obtain a new passport without your finger-prints, so, i expect you can't avoid detection.
Well, i'll advice you to (first) go to an Immigration Office in your area and hear them before considering making a long trip to Abuja

fishhooks: Hello Vicjustice

Just to let you know that my husband has been granted his visa and whilst I give God Almighty all the glory for his goodness and faithfulness, I thank you too for your advice and patience in answering all my queries. May God Almighty always send you help in time of need. I really appreciate all the time you took in giving me advice. God bless you.

Good to hear back from you and to know that your dealing with us resulted in a positive outcome. I really appreciate your coming back to say thank you and i hope this is not a farewell message from you.
Stay blessed.

I Hate 9ja: All member's of the house and Vicjustice.irrespective of my lost E-passport with my finger print & detail's in their database.pls can i get a fresh passport.

Could you clarify this?

suxes2005: The country is too far why not visit a nearer one?

Sheyi

Man, you seem to think Hungary is in far east Asia, but it is in Europe and a member of the EU & Schengen, it has a common border with Austria: how is that too "far away"?

guttentag: Can someone please brief me on how to apply for a Hungary Visa, i like the country and will like to visit

It would be interesting to hear what exactly you like about the country, Hungary

Apart from other evil countries in the backward and dark Africa, where else could you find such barbaric civilization on the face of the earth where such evil is corporately carried out by a crowd of people, and there is no one, not a single person that raised a voice against such disgraceful act?
Whatever that guy might have done, no one deserves to be brutally tortured to death without a legal trial and conviction, not even in the Taliban Afghanistan would you find these sort of disgrace: If only you realise how embarrassing it feels to Nigerians abroad

SniperInADiaper: Evil people are all over the world - not just in Nigeria.

OK, Barbaric Nigerians

oxatto: Vicjustice I truelly need advice now! The thing is that I stated I am doing my I.T. And I concluded it 2 weeks back and for the 6months I was paid 30k but I wrote an agreement that on completion of my I.T I will collect all my money because I have planed using the money to add up with what I will be getting from my Inlaw, but right now I'm yet to receive an alert of the money from my work place I believe I will be getting it this new week we are entering. The Total Sum is 180k and my inlaw stated in his letter previous letter to the British High Commision that 500k will be available for my Trip I want to ask if he can make the deposit to my account and I attach the slip with a letter from him. With my the 180k it will sum up to 680k in my account everything will be 700k plus plus his bank statememnt and the document will that be ok cos I truelly want to visit UK this year before school resumes full. I need a full house advice on this c

I warned you that you do not meet the requirements for a tourist visa: accumulating your 30k a month to make 180k, getting money contribution here and there and combining every Naira available is not what the visa officer is looking for; as an adult, you must be able to sponsor yourself. These measures of desperation will only help the visa officer to understand that you can't be a genuine tourist, or what genuine tourist would ruin his entire savings (plus borrowed monies) for a trip to the UK and then return home penuriously broke?
Please, refer to this thread:

salsera: VicJ
Please ignore, you are not hired or paid to give advice.
If you then give it freely and they ignore and go ahead then how is it ur problem.
Even I remember oxatto's case. He shud go and read the advise given then.
There is a difference between Faith Foolishness and presumption.

Well said, I really appreciate your understanding and support

Obitrice24: Goodday, I do want to invite a friend of mine from canada for visit in nigeria and i will like to know when i write the invitation letter, Can i send the letter via email to her so she can print it and take it to embassy, please kindly reply back to me.

Thanks

Isn't your very question answered in the original post?

I Hate 9ja: Expert's in the house,Pls can i be refused a visa in the nearest future that my name format on my certificate are babalola victor olalekan,while on my passport i av the format as babalola olalekan victor.though babalola is my surname.pls how much does it cost to get a re-issued passport @ abuja.pls wat are my chances here.

The format doesn't matter, what matters is the consistencies of the Give/First Name, Middle Name and Last/Sur Name.
But if you mean inconsistencies whereby the Middle Name becomes Last/Sur Name or Give/First Name replaces Middle Name, there that would been seen as identical crises which is a serious issue

nuco: @vicjustice u have ended up giving him no advice,what are the requirements he needs to fulfill ?

How did you know my action?
You're only a new member and have not yet seen much of the works going on and yet you're pointing accusing finger?
I have written and written, and i have given numerous advise, i have encouraged visa applicants who are prepared as i discouraged those who do not meet the requirements for visa. To further help people, i have written series of apen article such as:

oxatto: Hello Nairalanders and Vic please i just got my Pack from VFS wednessday this was the reply i got inside my pack, i was denied the visa and this was said:

You have stated that you are a part time trainee earning 30,000 Naira a Month. However, you failed to provide any satisfactory evidence of your earnings. I am therefore not satisfied that your Circumstances are as claimed. you are Unmarried, with no dependent children. None of the money enpended on this venture is your own. i do not therefore consider that you have demonstrated to me enough close ties, visible assets and personal responsibilities in your personal and economical circumstances that necessitate your presence in Nigeria to satisfy me that, on the balance of probabilities, you are genuinely seeking entry to the UK as a visitor for a period not exceeding 6 months as required by Rule 41 (i) of HC 395 and intend to leave UK at the end of the period as stated by you as required by Rule 41 (ii) of HC 395.

Furthermore, you state that your sponsor is your brother in law. However you have not provided any evidence to suggest that you are related as claimed, despite having the opportunity to do so. There are number of document that you could have submitted with your application to confirm your relationship. in the absenceof such document, i am not satified that he is your Uncle and that he is genuinely prepared to sponsor you. Therefore, on the balance of probabilities, i am not satisfied that you will be maintained and accomodated in the UK without working or having rescourse to public funds or are able to meet the cost of return or an onward journey as required by paragraph, 41 (vi) and (vii) of HC395.

i have there refused your application because i am not satisfied, on the balance of probabilities, that you meet all of the requirement of relevant paragraph of the United Kingdom Immigration Rules.

Your right of appeal is limited to the grounds referred to section 84(1)(c) of Nationality, immigration and asylum Act 2002(www.legislation.gov.uk).

PLEASE: What document do you guys think i did not provide to show my relatioship with my inlaw because i provided pictures of him, myself, his wife who is my sister and my 2 nieces and a letter of sponsorship from him stating my relationship and that i have been staying with them for the Past 4 years now, copy of his ID Card. and i have contacted the company where i did my I.T. they are ready to provide me with my payslip. PLEASE I NEED ADVICE ON WHAT TO DO BECAUSE I WANT TO REAPPLY INSTEAD OF APPLYING FOR REVIEW BECAUSE I BELIEVE I GAVE THEM EVERY DOCUMENT THAT WAS NECCESSARY.

I had followed your posts, and I knew long ago that your application would be refused: also, I remember Justwise saying he would be surprised if you get through ...
Look, forget about the documents to prove your in-law's relation, the ECO has multiple reasons to refuse your application because, you do not meet the requirements for tourist visa at all: even if you present the suggested documents in your next application, you will still be refused until you circumstances fulfil all the requirements.

rockar: Thanks vic.
There is no board of directors. I run everything in the company now. And also the account have been used for my dad n mum's trip before. Im just being cautious, i dont have a personal account that i can submit. I just dont want my passport to have a rejection stain because its my first and i am planning to further my education in canada next year and i guess if im rejected in uk, it might have an effect on being issued Canada student visa.

Pls do u think i can make an application based on everything i have mentioned about my financial status and the purpose of visitation ?

I modified my previous post, you might want to look at it again and replace the quote.
I will like to suggest that you apply for the visa as a vacation traveller sponsored by the company as a treat, by this measure, i don't see why you won't be granted a visa.
But since you don't have your own independent account, if you chose to apply using the company's account, though you have a fair (not very good) chance, but don't be surprised if the visa officer finds reasons to refuse you on the basis of travelling to the UK using your father's company's account (even though you are in charge): how would you convince the visa officer that you are not going to the UK as a prodigal son, or to turn prodigal whilst in the UK?

rockar: Hi, i want to apply for a uk visa with my blood brother inviting me for xmas holiday and his bday next month.
But reading this thread has really gt me confused because as soon as i finished service last year, my dad gave me the '' power of attorney '' to his company which makes me the director( there is a legal documents backing this up) . He made me a signatory to all the companies account just like i am the owner. The problem now is that i always withdraw money from the companies account. I dont av a personal account.
Company always sponsor family trip, just like when my dad n mum went to visit my brother dis year, they used the company's account for application.
Now i wanna make the application with the company's account which i am a signatory to. Pls what are my chances? I have no actual salary, because i always use the company account for all my expenses.
Please advise.. Thanks

The original article does not suggest that it is absolutely unacceptable to apply for a visa under the sponsorship of a company, it is only explaining that most company's accounts are unacceptable for visa application because, the money in them are strictly for official use only: especially if the company has board of directors or other bodies that make decisions on matters.
But there could be an exception with some few (sole director) companies if the director makes the account flexible to allows for the use of the money for his personal purpose.
If your parents travel abroad with the support of the company's bank account, it therefore means two things:
1) For a company's sponsorship to be acceptable, you would need to be applying for a training or a course, or a seminar etc that would be deemed profitable to your company in order to satisfy the visa officer of the purpose otherwise, it would be judged that the money in the company's account is not available for your use: unless your company is offering you a complimentary vacation under its care.

2) That visa officer is satisfied that the account is flexible and that the money was available for their use: and most importantly, there had might have been evidences of your parents using the fund for personal purpose prior to their visa applications.

rockar: Thanks vic. I dont really understand ur first point, but My dad gave me the '' power of attorney '' last year after my service to his company because he is old and i am the last child remaining in Nigeria. I was made the director and a signatory to all company's account. I work and i am a director of the company now. I dont have a personal account because i always use one of the company account for all my expenses. So i am going to use the company's account which is always used for family trips.

I hope this is what u are asking? Please what are my chances?

You seem to be in a good financial shape, but thing would be easier when done orderly.
I like to recommend that you first go through the original article on the link below, and if you have further question after that, feel free to ask:
https://www.nairaland.com/967110/main-reasons-many-refused-visas

rockar: Please i need an advice. I have a blood brother who is a citizen in the uk by birth. He had been living there for like 13yrs working. He has visited Nigeria a couple of time.
I am planning to go for a visit by December for xmas holiday.
I finished service last year and immediately i finished service i have been managing my dads company as the managing director till now.
My questions are:
1. What are my chances of being given a visa if my brother invites me just for xmas holiday?
2. Is it too late to apply for xmas holiday visa now, because i heard there will be rushing this time and rushing might cause rejection(how true is this).

Thanks. Pls i need a reply asap. Any advise is welcome. Thanks

1) You didn't give enough details of your circumstances to work with, won it would be premature to access your chance.
2) Christmas period is not a rush period for travelling to Europe, the rush period is during school periods and summer.
Christmas season is the period when many Africans leave the UK not the other way round

emmy384: @ vicjustice
This is Emmanuel, I'm been refuse visa to UK these re their reason:
You claim to be a student and produce a letter from your university, which I have reviewed as part of my decision. You have also provide your ID cards. I note that the letter does not confirm your regular attendance. I am aware that the letter was produced at your own request and solely for the purpose of this visa application. You failed to provide satisfactory evidence by way of receipts and transcript to support your claims. I have taken into account the high levels of graduate unemployment and the frequency of industrial action in Nigeria institution. Without sufficient evidence of your studies, I am not satisfied that you are settled and established as a student to ensure your departure from UK. I am not satisfied you are genuinely seeking entry to the UK as a visitor for a period not exceeding six month as required by Rule 41(I) of HC395 and that you intend to leave the UK at the end of the period of the visit as stated by you as required by Rule 41(ii) of HC 395

You state that you are employed on a part time basis and that your earn N50,000 per month. I am not satisfied that you have provided adequate evidence to substantiate this. Whilst I note that you have provide your pay slips, You failed to provide evidence of your personal finance like your bank statement showing salary credit. I recognize that your sponsor propose to bear the cost of your visit. However, I must take into account your personal and economic circumstance in Nigeria when coming to my decision. Therefore I am not satisfied that you are seeking a genuine visit ot that you intend to leave the UK at the end of your visit.

The cost of your visit to the UK is to be borne by your sponsor. While you have provided evidence of your sponsor's funds, you have failed to provide satisfactory evidence about the origin of these funds. For example you failed to provide any evidence to show your sponsor's income. As a result. I am not satisfied that the evidence provided is a true a true reflection of your sponsors financial circumstance or that these funds are available to you. On the balance of probabilities I am not satisfied that you will be maintained and accommodated in the UK without working or having recourse public funds or are able to meet the cost of return or an onward journey as required

I have therefore refused your application because I am not satisfied, on the balance probabilities that you meet all the required of the relevant paragraph of the United kingdom immigration rules.


YOUR RIGHT TO APPEAL
You re entitled to appeal against this decision under section 82(1) of the nationality immigration asylum act 2002 if you wish to appeal you must complete the attached IAFT -2 notice of appeal form.

The completed notice of appeal form must arrive on later than 28days after the date you received this notice and you must make sure that its signed and dated.

What do I do now, please help me. I have contact an immigration lawyer and he listed some document and told me to reapply instead of going through the appeal that he will review my document and add the additinal document they requested for and file a case to it.
Document to add
Birth certificate
Reciept for school fee payment and online print out
Course form
My dad work ID
Employment letter from my dad company showing his source of income.

Do not pay a penny to that "immigration lawyer" or whatever he represents, the main reason for which you were refused the visa is not about documentation, if the "lawyer" does not understand that then, his service does not deserve to be employed.
The fact is, even if you modified all documents or, you take extra steps to authenticate them, you will still be refused the visa as long as your financial situation, social ties and economic circumstance remain the same.
Please, carefully read this article and understand what it takes to meet the requirements:

But why was this thread (Main Reasons Many Are Refused Visas) un-sticked?
I'm concerned because, a lot of people find it very useful as the article answers a lot of questions

BrownGold: @Vicjustice: keep up the good work here. More grace to your efforts. He who gives never lacks.

Tries bien..

Thanks a lot. I hope you're sorted with your queries

tigoomoniyi: Hello house...Will be glad if anybody could clear me out.

My Mum, Step dad and siblings presently holds a british citizenship,I applied for Visa based on compassionate ground as an adult child who doesn't have accommodation here in Nigeria as I'm squatting with friends and will like to travel to UK to live with his parents(and have a family reunion) but has a degree and won't depend on public fund over there.

I was however denied Visa on d basis that I have a degree and the ECO stated that he sees no reason I can't have a job here and support myself but neglecting the importance of the family. I didn't growup with my dad and my family in Uk is all I got as a family because my mother had me when she was pretty young.

As regards to the family dependency visa conditions ,i suppose that I can win an appeal as D ECO denied my right of the Article 8 of European Convention on Human Rights. I have been denied right to a family reunion.

Pls guru in the house, I want to know my chances. I have already filled in an appeal since July and I'm eargerly awaiting their response. Any suggestion as additional steps I can take will be highly welcomed. Thanks and God bless.

Your "human rights" may be considered infringed if they denied you a visa to see your own nuclear family (ie your wife/husband and your children). But you said you are a graduate with degree, so, I supposed you are a full adult; therefore, I don't see how your "human rights" are being infringed by the embassy for not allowing you to be a dependant on your mother and her husband.
You wouldn't have any problem if you were 16 years of age, but as a degree holder that you are, I assume you're in your mid or late 20s, so, it's time to look forward to starting your own family that would accord you such "human rights"
Finally, your dad is in Nigeria with you
