VOR:

Funky,

How are you baby?

I am still very much around, I jut don't contribute as often as i did.

This is what happens when people are deceived by charlattans.
I don't really feel sorry for Yeti because she must have known that
the document she was procuring would not be Kosher. How would
she expect to get a genuine document from an unofficial source. and
a faceless individual on the internet for that matter.

Boronto:

please can anyone tell me what the sponsor is to provide for a uk family visit visa. The person sponsoring me his my dad in Nigeria.

funkybaby:

@paribus

I admire your maturity and calmness. Geez! How do you do it ? Teach me, abeg. 

VOR:

Ako,

I am afraid I beg to differ with you.

Whether the doc came from the tax office or not, it is still a false document and Yetti should have known or it
would have been reasonable to expect her to know that the document may well be false. She paid 10k for the
doc after negotiating the figure down from 12k. Na so govt. business is conducted? Did she receive an official receipt
for the payment? My guess is she didn't.

The document may well be a genuine one from the tax office, but it has been improperly issued and the ECO would
consider that to be no different than presenting a totally counterfeit document. For arguments sake, suppose Viko had a contact in the British High Commission and he told Yetti he could help her to get the visa if  Yetti gave him money in those circumstances it is no different than paying this Viko person money to obtain the TC rather than go through official channels.

Yetti

You say you have learnt your lesson. I hope you have. What you did was wrong as you have admitted.
Really and truly, and speaking as someone who has, in the past, worked in the British Immigration system
it is highly unlikely you will be granted a visa if you re-apply immediately, even with a genuine TC. If you apply
at some time in the future you will have to declare your refusal and given the 10 year ban rule that too is
unlikely. Were you notified of the ban?

I would strongly suggest you look elsewhere to study abroad if that is your dream.

Good luck.

funkybaby:

check the 2nd and 3rd pages of this thread for the answer to the question you asked.

Boronto:

thanx. but am a little confused because u stated dre the colour copy of the sponsor bio data page, is it the bio-data page of the person inviting me + my dad's own

funkybaby:

Yw.
The bio data page of the person inviting you.

If your dad has an international passport, you can also attach a copy of this or a photocopy of his identity card (work or business) . Better still you can include both

You will find all the info you need and more if you take out time to patiently read through the first 5-10pages of this thread.

Boronto:

tanx. can u please tell me hw the address will look like when writing a sponsorship letter to the uk embassy.

funkybaby:

Address of who? Your sponsor in UK or your sponsor in naija (your dad)
The letter should be in the format of a formal letter.

Boronto:

i mean the uk embassy address. i.e the person the letter is being addressed in the embassy in nigeria.

funkybaby:

The Entry Clearance Officer
British Deputy High Commission
Walter Carrington Crescent
Victoria Island
Lagos



I can't remember the correct street number. . . Maybe 11 or 14. You can goggle it out. Not like its really important. There is only one BHC on that street.

@yettidear

Do not allow anyone to get you all worked up. You are not obliged to reply to every post made on this issue.

Too bad that you can't lay your hands on a copy of the TC.

Sooner or later, you might still have to give explaination as to what went wrong except you do not intend applying for UK visa again for a very long time to come.I have seen soooo many cases where the ECO refers back to issues that led to previous visa denials and use that as a reason to deny a fresh application. So do not think that the ECO will just wave off the issue. Like you mentioned, the document was not returned to you which means it has been kept in your file (yes, each applicant has a file (that contains copies of documents submitted) at BHC . . . i am 100% sure of this.

As a matter of fact, how you escaped the 10years ban beats me. That alone is a reason for you to be very thankful to God and tithe your first month salary when you get paid at your new job.

I will suggest you consult privately with Akolawole and Pataki on this issue.
Most especially Akolawole . Send him a mail.
He just helped me on a private issue that relates to BHC visa wahala recently, his suggestion worked. . . and this is not the first time he has been of great help to myself and also my friends.

Lastly, why must you give up your dream of having a masters degree just because of this issue? Who says marriage, MSc, babies and even a good job cannot go hand-in-hand together ?

" Rule 320 (7A) comes into force on 29 February 2008. So from that date any application for entry clearance which has been supported by false documents or in which false representations have been made, even if the applicant did not know that the documents were false or that the representations were not true, and even if they were not material to the application he or she made, will be refused. This is a major development in the rules. Prior to this statement of changes the only comparable immigration rules were in respect of the submission of a false document (rule 320 (21) – and this said nothing about making false representations) Most importantly this rule fell under the heading of “grounds on which entry clearance or leave to enter will normally be refused”.

Now the refusal is mandatory. The exercise of discretion by entry clearance officers has been removed. Of course this has a further effect upon the jurisdiction of Immigration Judges when considering appeals against the refusal of entry clearance. At the moment judges are required to consider whether the discretion of an entry clearance officer should have been exercised differently from how it was exercised in any decision to refuse entry clearance, and to allow appeals if the discretion was wrongly exercised. From 29 February this jurisdiction will go, because refusals under 320 (7A) are mandatory. "


This means;

Akolawole:

@Gurus

I think Yetti can make a fresh application.

That the fake document in this refusal is not her own Work letter, Certificates, Personal bank statements is a big advantage but don't put Viviko's tax document. In fact don't put new or updated tax clearance of your Mum.

I hope and pray Section 7B is completely independent on 7A.

Over to ya Pataki, Oluwafunmike and others.

@VOR

We cannot throw away the baby with bath water.

Lawyers are trained to lie thats why they can never make heaven

@Yetti

My epistle remains a suggestion ma.

I am not giving full advice on your visa application but to clear the mess on ground regarding the Oluwole tax document.

I know nothing about your OTHER documents and how you complete your visa application form.

@ Gurus

I will be on short holiday soon. When is Seun paying us our Ileya Ram allowance?

We might be forced to be charging people here.
