you looking at the past. The current situation; The host country do NOT need or want Nigerians in their country. This is a majority view of all citizens. If you have any skills or talents then you should stay in Nigeria to rebuild your nation.

Immigration is not a solution to improve your country. stay put and stop export your undesirables

justwise:

Rubbish i say, your time of invasion is over now its our time to invade your country as well, u can't pick and chose to anybody. U called that the past? Well its the past for you but the begingin for us to come in and u can't stop immigration. Your claim abt majority hating Nigerians is just made-up story.

Just wise leave this individual, he needs to go to springfield hospital and visit Dr Oyebode of the ECT clinic there, just brows fru his post and you will realize he got biff with Nigerians.

justwise:

Pple like him makes me sick, many of them hating Nigerians are doing it out of jealousy, yes they have british passport and that is all about it, nothing to show for it, living on benefit, endless list of criminal records, practically unemployable

hi guys, wife tried to renew her 1st visa in Nigeria and also applied for our six month old baby as a first timer in nov 2009. she utilised the 1st visa in jan 2009(1 week trip) before it expired in june 2009. but alas, both applications were placed on applied despite supporting it with her salary bank account statement as a banker, her pension saving papers, introduction letter from her employer,investment documents, daughter birth cert., naming pics, evidents of her return to nigeria, invitation from her uk sponsor and other.
Reasons for refusal are as follows;
1. Not convinced that relationship between sponsor and her is a close one
2. source of income into her a/c not stated
3.Not sure whether her sponsor had a house in Uk to accommodate her

We submitted the appeal in Lagos with sponsor`s morgage docs in uk and another writen letter, sponsor`s bank statement and council tax payment paper, her pics when she was there and necessary explanation on refusal points. But, ECO still referred the appeals to AIT for determination. Now a date has been fixed in june 2010 for hearing.
WOULD THE ECO SEND ALL HER DOCUMENTS TO THE TRIBUNAL IN UK BECAUSE SHE WAS NOT ASKED TO SEND ANY DOC BEFORE THE FIXING OF HEARING DATE. WHAT ARE THE CHANCES HERE. ALSO SHE STATED THAT SHE WANTS HER SPONSOR TO BE PRESENT DURING THE HEARING (PAPER HEARING SELECTED), BUT IN THE HEARING DATE NOTIFICATION SENT TO HER, IT WAS STATED THAT SHE HAD NOT STATED THAT HER SPONSOR WILL BE PRESENT. WE INFORMED THE SPONSOR ABOUT THIS AND HE PROMISED TO STILL GO THERE ON THAT DATE ARMED WITH A COPY WE HAD SENT TO HIM, WOULD THEY ALLOW HIM IN SINCE HE WAS NOT COPIED AND WOULD HIS GOING THERE MAKE ANY POSITIVE DIFFERENCE?

Hope to read contributions on this issue from gurus in da house. thanks

@erico2k2.
Thanks for your swift response, too bad i got know know this section on NL late even though i have been a member for about a year. i will work on the advice you have given, She gave birth four months later after returning to naija. i am just curious on the hearing type that may put the AIT decision in her favour( to pay abt 70k for the baby and mother as application fees during this crunchy times is not easy)

Cheers

I dont know why everyone is rushing to London. LISTEN, people in london, like me are looking forward to getting back to nigeria!!! London is EXTREMELY BORING, there are RASCIST PARTIES popping up and they are expirencing high levels of UNEMPLOYMENT. LOOK, if your not coming here for the education, DONT COME AT ALL!!! dont be fooled into the steriotype that London is great because it is not!!!! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!

erico2k2:

when?

emmanuel93:

What do you mean by when?, you must have seen the BNP by now, The recession has HIT everyone!!! so what are you talkin about London is not great at the moment. The only thing that is keeping it is the education and even that has been suffering lately with the government decreasing the amount of money given to universities, right now, london is not a very nice place. SO DONT COME NOW, OR YOULL END UP SUFFERING EVEN MORE

Hi Guys,
I was recently refused UK visa due to the following reason

I note that in 2009 you were granted a UK visit visa. On that occasion, you clearly stated that your application form that you did not have any friends and family in the UK. However, I note that the copy of the EEA family member permit in Tom's passport (issued in Croydon, UK) who you have stated on your last application is your Unlce was issued on 23/05/2007. Because you clearly stated on your last application that you did have family in the UK and because you have not submitted any evidence that you are related to Tom as claimed, I am not Satisfied that you have family in the UK who you intend to visit. This casts doubt on your intentions.

I didnt include my uncle in my previous application cos I dont just wanna have anything to do with him but now I just decided to visit him and I simply include his name in the application.

What do u think I should do?
Am thinking of appealing since I was given the full right to appeal?
What do u think I can do to convince the ECO?
Thanks

Thanks

liamigua:

Can someone Pls Advice me on the refusal Notice above.
All my documents were not returned except my passport. If I want to appeal, do I need to address the problem on my refusal only by sending the Documents pertaining to my refusal or I need to gather all the documents from the beginning all over again.
PLs Help

segzeybaba:

You only need to address the refusal points and send it with any evidence with your appeal.
As this refusal is based mainly on deception, you need to write a well composed letter stating the reasons why you stated not having a friend/family in the UK. With a good letter, you can win the heart of the immigration judge or ECO if you intend applying again, but i will advice you to contact any immigration adviser/solicitor to help you with your case, and get your sponsor/family member to testify for you at the appeal hearing (if you intend going for an oral hearing)
Goodluck

erico2k2:

when I said Whn, I meant when are you returning to Nigeria lol
by the way RECESSION is Global,its not limited to just the UK so we have it in Nigeria too but no one is talking about it cos we cant associate ourselves with it cos we aint economicaly inclined.So whoever wanna come let them come, they will discover thier talent when they get here

sssob:

You have gone abouth all this %50 the wrong way, why did you not come here much earlier, anyway let me set it straight for you, there are two types of hearing, Oral and paper, as the names stipulates, Oral means that the applicant can represent themselves if they are in the Uk or nominate someone to represent them in the person of thier sponsor or a barister but PAPER hearing means you dont get represented,all you gonna get is determination,now i dont know how long you've got till the hearing date andif you could change the type of hearing, you could always write to the AIT via thier website.Now the ECO are meant by Law to submit a bundle to the tribunal thats all teh Docs,but we all know they sometimes dont but the hearing still goes on anyway,but then again, you can always ring up the AIT to find out if they have the complete Bundle relevant to your case,Now at this point I will assume you have an appeal or refrence number you could give them when you ring up,can I just ask,when your wife visited the last time, did she have the baby with her? 70 never attends an Oral hearing.
