Thanks.


Thanks, do I need to book an hotel reservation fully paid or can I still book the unpaid one? And also booked the sightseeing places at the golden tour site?

My guy, most of the things u said are absolutely wrong.u can get hotel as cheap as 35-40Pounds a day in UK. how can u say u must have 1.5M in one account to get a tourist Visa?

@poster,

u can apply again and pls address the issues the ECO stated in your refusal letter. least i forget, dont fully pay for the hotel just do the reservation with ur details and u ar good to go.

This uk gamble wey una dey do dey very funny

@suxes2005 Oga i don go uk embassy b4 under all kinda circumstance and i was never denied, W eather paid or not paid hotel reservation it dosent count not even a single bit so if u dey tell person to pay reservation fee to proof point dat na crap, if u like pay 1month full payment it has less than 10percent influence in the outcome of your application,

i don apply for uk embassy with saving acct
i don apply for uk embassy with less dan 200k
i don apply for uk embassy with monthly income less than 80k
i don apply for uk embassy with monthly income 250k

Re: General UK Visa Enquiries by shithapuns: 3:45pm On Mar 23, 2011
i didnt say u needed 1.5m  to apply, wat i meant is that having such an amt makes  ur  case  easier/better, u can apply with 400k in ur acct, it depends  on a lot of factors, its if ur case is weak, then  hving a good income/huge savings  in ur  acct  can swing the case in ur favour!!!

the £100/day hotel, its inclusive  food, 3 meals/day, from my research  most budget hotels  are  abt £50/day  n u get only breakfast  in some  cases.

i know of some1  who applied   with only 300k  in  his  acct.n he succeded, but  his  salary  is  above  500k/month  and  more  than  8 million  has  moved in his  acct statement, that he used  to apply,  also  he  has  a property/title  deed  he included, so all these  play  a role

2moro  he wud  come  and  blab  that  he applied  with  300k in his acct  n  succeded,, some  fools wud  believe  him  without  getting  to  know  the  real  story/facts

it is always good to explain things in details. it makes it easier for people to grab.

Ur cousine did not send u any document to support ur application? When it comes to visa issue, what worked for u may not work for somebody else, a student or a business man/woman 'may' not be given a visa with the same amount of money and documents u presented. For the fact that u were given a visa with 80K pounds in ur account does not mean other will be given as well.

My cousine sent me only an invitation letter utility bill and passport pages No financial documents, and its 80k Naira not Pounds,

So do u think u would have been given a visa if u were going without IV, just hotel booking with 80K?
You understimating how important those documents ur cousin sent u are.

Re: General UK Visa Enquiries by osarodon(m): 4:06pm On Mar 26, 2011
Thanks brother you have been very inspiring.
I will like to renew the visa immediately it expires

ease and not break any immigration laws.

Thanks

Its just like the first time u applied, u have to state the reason for applying for visa, its better u do it a month or 2 b4 u are ready to use it. There is no special reason.
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries by Nobody: 1:56pm On Mar 31, 2011
Is visa renewal the same as extending a visa? I've often wondered.

Siena:

Technically they are the same but with student or work permit visa extention, u may not have to submit the same documents as the first time but for visiting visa renewal, is like applying for the first time and u can only do it in ur home country, only in a very serious case will u be allowed to extend visiting visa in the UK for example.

Q 1. That is not too short if everything goes well.

Q 2. Anything can happen within 2yrs, so its possible that her sister moved to the UK 2010, however, if her sister is sending her the data page of her passport and it shows that her sister has being in the UK b4 2009, then that 'might' be a problem IF the ECO looked at it, though i don't think that will be a problem IF her documents did not raise any eyebrow.

   I'm responding to this base on the compilation of the detailed information you provided in other threads, especially the post in which you stated that the ECO deemed that you made false representation and therefore accorded you a "liar".
Now, giving you the benefit of doubt, i must tell you how very unfortunate you are to have fallen a victim of circumstance and protocol.
   The fact is, since the embassy considered you a liar in your failed application; you've been placed on a 10 years ban. That means, you are free to apply for any UK visa as many times as you wish, but you'll never be given a visa until after 10 years. This is the truth.
   Now, contrary to Ycoxyng advice in another thread, do not bother to apply for any UK visa as the visa officers will not even be interested to take a look at the main details in your application form how much more to read the "additional information" that you provide.
   How it works? Your name and your finger prints are already placed in their BAN LIST, so, as soon as they type in your name or you place your fingers into their system, they will see that you carry a ban, and your application is automatically refused without looking at the details in the file.
   Now, you may want to know what you can do; Well, it's an unfair policy, but don't blame them for being so stringent, rather blame the people who abused their system until they're forced to take this measure. There is absolutely nothing you can do, you have to wait for 10 years or you can try for other countries.
   However, if you wish to try a gamble, you may apply again (consider making an application that attracts the rights of appeal) and use your parents bank details as sponsor's account (since you claim they owned the account in question), and get someone to help in constructing a comprehensive letter because, from what i understand, i really doubt you can do that yourself.

Kenny, I think you're best off posting the entire refusal here, with your personal data blanked out, as ********** *******. Because what you've posted so far is difficult to comprehend. It will be easier for able persons to advice you then.

@poster. You have to be careful, as this could earn you a 10 years ban. It happened to me sometime in the past, but i was able to explain to them, after a refusal for same reason. This was possible because it was in Amsterdam and i had a face to face encounter with the Consular Officer.
