hohia: Hello there.... what do you mean? The part about someone wishing to go to Edinburgh instead is perfectly fine as Edinburgh is part of UK. However the part about applying for three weeks and staying up to 6 months is a bag of ignorance from you. I think you are the one misleading people to get into blunders. Do you know how many refusal letters we have read here where th ECO pointed out they stayed longer than they quoted in their application form even without overstaying the visa itself? Personally I have read the document titled 'Visit Guidance' which the ECOs use to access whether an applicant is a genuine visitor or not. It says that an applicant can be seen as not genuine, though not an automatic assumption, if they stay significantly beyond the time they quoted in the application. I would advise you to say what you know. If you apply to visit the Uk and say you would be staying for three weeks and then you spend 6 months in the UK, it is not overstaying quite alright but you would have to explain in your next application why you stayed that long and if your explanation is not convincing enough it is visa refusal. This you do not know. No one is saying that if you applied to spend three weeks in the UK, you can't stay any longer than that. However if it is significantly beyond what you quoted you would have a lot of explanation to do. See below an excerpt from the document: VISIT GUIDANCE' published by the Home Office, on page 8...

hohia: Guy you are Lord argue. What about the people that have been denied visas because they stayed longer than they quoted on their application form for previous visas without overstaying the visa itself? It's possible to stay longer than quoted but the ECO will consider other factors to ascertain if you are a genuine visitor. You might have solid documents in other areas, so you could avoid being seen as not genuine. However do not come here and say that no matter what you quoted in the application you can stay for 6 months. It is misleading. What might have worked for your friends might not work for someone else. This is a forum to guide people and warn them based on 1. Personal experiences 2. Others' experiences 3.

@justwise @brightinhus and everyone, good afternoon everyone. I became an avid reader of nairaland on this wave of uk visa decision delay.....so after waiting for over 64 working days, i got a refusal. . My application history is as follows In 2009 while waiting admission to law school, i applied and was denied based on insufficient economic ties In 2010 after completing law school, before my call to bar, i applied and was refused again due to the above reason I chilled till 2015, when i had started earning salary and applied but was refused again for insufficient funds In the last quarter of 2015, i got a better job with about 3times what i was earning at my last refusal and waited till July this year when I had gotten 2 salary reviews . My last salary review was to 301k . I applied and here is the refusal document, please note that i submitted letter from employer, payslips, employment letter, and 2 salary review letters, I also attached 2 bank statements, 1 for salary account while the other was to shiw my previos earning. The refusal stated that 1. I said i was "self employed " 2. That I did not show proof of my salary and additional income 3.that i did not prove evidence of other family members P.S I clearly stated my employment with my employer with all neccesary letters, i even attached cac documents as the company secretary to 3 companies which are our affiliates I dont know what other documents i should have attached. I think i want to reapply because the ECO was unfair. Please assist or refer me to particular posts that have similar outcomes 1 Like
