stellose: @stellose, i know the embassies can be funny sometimes, but miracles still happen. A close relation of mine got denied twice this year, all the documents he used were originals in his own name. The rejected it the first time because the person apparently had too much money in the account, second time it was because the could not find the bank statement which he surely included. My guy lost both appeals, but was suprised to recieve a call 2 weeks ago to come pick up his visa. It was like a miracle, so keep trying and make sure you prepare well enough for all thier games before you go back. Best of luck. |

If you are denied a visa at any embassy, you are given a written down reason for the denial. Depending on the reason for denial, you are allowed to counter that reason by clarifying their doubts and re-applying. if you are denied a student visa because u had a faxed copy of your admission letter, you are expected to get the original and re-apply. There is no such thing as a "denial staining your passport for life", it doesnt work that way. I have seen hundreds of people who got denied this month and got their visa the next month after re-applying. And by the way, fighting for an appeal doesnt prove nada. Doesnt mean your real confident and all that. If you lose the appeal, you stand a lesser chance of getting a student visa again or even a visitors visa. walelead: |

The truth is that as it has been said there is a quota. I am sure the company that is processing the application is making lots of money, but this is Nigeria and that is the way. I magine if there was no fee or a refund for an unsucessful application, there would be tens of thousands of people applying and it would overload the already shaky system. The reality is that the UK can not really cope with the influx of immigrants anymore. Many people abuse the system and enter for a short stay and remain illegally, many of them on student visas. So things are made difficult and I can not see it being made any easier in the near future. They are currently changing all the laws to be stricter and give less people the chance to abuse the system. The UK is one of the fairest Countries when it comes to accepted foreign students and workers and many Nigerians are living and working in the UK. Many legally, but far more illegally. They are the ones responsible for causing all the problems for geniune people that would like to study in the UK! |

Re: Refusal Of UK Study Visa by wisdome: 6:32pm On Jan 19, 2007 |
I was just wandering how lucrative this business of visa issuance and refusal could be. Come to think of it a lot of Nigerians be they old or young do apply for visa and over 70% applications are turned down just because of one excuse or the other by the clearing officer. They do not want people to get there and become liability to their funds they say but little do they realised that they benefit more from this so called students today and would be graduates tomorrow(What say less about Nairaland in the diaspora). I know of a guy who applied after paying 75% (£6000) of his fees which is a fortune in Niaraland and the clearing officer wrote a detailed refusal letter that no statement of account, no bank statement from his employer and no evidence of payement even with the schools letter stating that this guy has actual paid this amount. I think there should be a fair ratio of refusal to issuance in all fairness to our nairaland economy. In the meantime if there is sales of Public offer for BRITISH EMBASSY SHARES in Nairaland please kindly notify me. |
Re: Refusal Of UK Study Visa by ayodele1(m): 6:29pm On Jan 20, 2007 |
Am not surprise about the whole issue because they have turned the issue of getting visa now a game of luck or mood, that means the mood of the officer decides maybe you Will be granted or not.Recently a lady applied for visa and was turned down and again re-applied of which they saw her passport that it has onces be refused and when they begin the whole issue, he said to the lady that he is going to toss a coin that if she win the visa is hers but if she loose then no visa, end of the whole thing the woman won and was even given more years than required.Its really disappointing the extent of power given to this people. |
Re: Refusal Of UK Study Visa by soulpatrol(f): 11:47pm On Jan 20, 2007 |
what?? is that kind of game allowed? see what these people have turned us into - a joke! its not their fault that we are flocking out in droves to their country in search of greener pastures. if only nigeria was good. i pray one day they are the ones that will be begging to come into our country. rubbish and nonsense! |

kindda weak coz i really dunno whre to start 4rm. GOD PURNISH ALL OUR LEADERS 4RM INDEPENDENCE TILL DATE IN JESUS NAME(Amen). They sold our future,they destroyed the economy of Nigeria, They deserved death by Firing Squad, They're all bastards and there generations unborn will live to suffer in trillion folds the hardship they meted on Nigerians. Witout Controversy,Naija is Richly Blessed but our economy isnt encouraging, Naija dey turn strong man to lazy bone. U go b like person wey no sabi anytin, world go tire u, However,wat amuses me is d blieve dat coming to uk means 1 is free 4rm normal hussling.Albeit,if u r sincere,legal n focussed with wat ur doin anywhere in d world,u will make money(with God on my side). Uk is no exception,u dnt just blieve u wil need nt hussle to make money here,even at the level of hussling(UK is still far better than naija as things b). We need a revolution in dat country,pple need to stand up n fight for our future, we dey suffer no b small, so many tins r wrong wit dat country(4rm d leaders to d followers). God will help us 1 day sha but i advice evri1 to kip his/her dream alive. 4get those yarns dat london is hard(let them come home n join u if its so hard), its not a bed of roses though but i expect a normal positive thnker to know life itself is nt a bed of roses(so wat r we talking about). Uk isnt 4 evrybody to succeed in likewise sm peep has to get outta naija to make there money. whicheva way it goes.try discover urself n carry ur cross. |
Re: Refusal Of UK Study Visa by Eclairs: 2:10am On Oct 08, 2007 |
Student visa refused because the applicant has too much money in bank account. Find that very funny. What then would be the basics of this persons' appeal or re-application, when ironically, some are refused for the exact opposite? I'm beginning to think it's more to do with luck than anything else. |
Re: Refusal Of UK Study Visa by choco4life(m): 12:11pm On Oct 13, 2007 |
Well stayed back and watched everyone gave his view or even shared experiences, but i must say this being a victim myself, this VISA application is a total rip-off esp the study visa ,this is how it works. Get an admission, Pay the school fees deposit many atimes not less than €1500 (paid about €5000 in my case, sch had my money for 7months), School sends the visa applicatn form, You apply for a visa spend about 40k reapply spend another money(close to 15,000 applications per week just from naija alone) You are turned down School keeps your fees deposit (spinning more money for them) In the end the school gains, the BHC also gains. |
Re: Refusal Of UK Study Visa by mrpataki(m): 1:34pm On Oct 13, 2007 |
choco4life: Please which school keeps your fees deposit? Most schools in the UK operate under the policy of paying your deposit before an unconditional offer of admission is issued to you. In the event that you secure your visa, the fees deposited becomes non-refundable. However, if you are not able to secure your visa, your deposit fees is given back to you. Please prove me wrong, if my statement is false! |
