Unfortunatley my friends application was refused

Justwise vijustice and co pls chew on this
As far as am concerned this is just bias towards the applicant in light of his previous refusals
The usual no ties to nigeria wasn't even mentioned
Which means they do believe he has ties
Since when did one have to provide a reason for choosing the uk as a tourist destination
Last I checked it wasn't a ? On the form and considering he has been refused in the past doesn't that alreadyshow the intent of wanting to visit uk, I mean its not a fresh application
The large sums in the account where explained with invoices being a sales executive
And he booked hotel so I dnt see why there is a need for an invitation letter or evidence from the person in uk
It was a general tourist visa
Last I checked I thot only name and number sufficed except u intended to stay with the person
There isn't a single concrete reason for his refusal
Advice on where to go fomr here would be much appreciated

Wow... It's unfortunate. However, I think the way forward is understanding the reasons for the refusals, which I think you've clearly misunderstood, and I'll give my reasons based on the refusal letter u posted and an assumption that the letter referred to supporting documents the applicant supplied.
Since when did one have to provide a reason for choosing the uk as a tourist destination.
While they acknowledged that it's not a prerequisite to provide in particular a reason for choosing uk as a holiday site, I'm sure they clearly needed an itinerary. Did the applicant include an itinerary?
Last I checked it wasn't a ? On the form and considering he has been refused in the past doesn't that alreadyshow the intent of wanting to visit uk, I mean its not a fresh application
True, but since they assume all applicants are potential immigrants, they can assume the applicant is hell-bent on "migrating" to the uk and probably beyond the leave.
The large sums in the account where explained with invoices being a sales executive
Very well, the applicant included invoices to show the sources of the funds i.e the receipts n invoices, but failed to give reasons why, as the. ECO pointed out, those "business" funds were paid into the applicants "personal" account which (s)he provided as supporting evidence for funds available for the trip.
And he booked hotel so I dnt see why there is a need for an invitation letter or evidence from the person in uk
It was a general tourist visa

But the ECO letter clearly shows that applicant claimed to be visiting a friend "Dr Lilian A.". So of course, if you put down you're visiting a someone in the uk, you should be able to show that that visit is indeed gonna be a welcomed one. An IV or a letter of acknowledgement/consent in most cases, proves this.
Last I checked I thot only name and number sufficed except u intended to stay with the person
Unfortunately, if you say you will visit someone in the uk, the persons name and no is not sufficient enough to back that up, not when you've never made a return trip to the uk.
There isn't a single concrete reason for his refusal
I'm assuming all reasons were effects of the "inadequate" supporting documents the applicant provided.
Advice on where to go fomr here would be much appreciated
I would say read through the refusal letter and if you must reapply, address those issues, plus other probable and imminent issue that may arise, and put in your application.

Hope this helps.

There was documentary evidence to back up all that
A letter from both the applicant and his employers addressing the large sums in the account
There was a hotel booking so the applicant did not intend to go and visit the person it was only included as someone he knows in the uk
As it was better than saying you don't know anyone in the uk

Just curious... Did the letter from both applicant and coy give reasons why coy funds were deposited into personal accounts instead of coy account OR they merely confirmed and attested that, yes, indeed the money is from a "legal" source, and by coy, etc?
These are two different issues to be addressed. One, Where did the money come from, and Two, why this account instead of the coy account, since it's for business-related purpose, for example, if you see what I mean.
Remember you applicant also stated that (s)he doesn't receive other income asides his employer. So how do u explain "payments" with receipts from someone, say ur employer, into ur account? By their understanding, and I'm guessing, though I may not b far from the truth, receipts are proof of payment, and they acknowledge that something has been paid for, or has been received. So what was paid for? Certainly not salary. It should be some goods or services rendered, which should have been explained in the form. But if you say u don't receive income elsewhere other than from your employer, it contradicts even the receipts provided, if that makes sense.
Then, the 4th paragraph reads "you say you will be visiting your friend Dr. Lilian Awere in the Uk..." .
Two things, it's either the applicant indicated that, or the ECO has made a wrong assumption. If the latter is the case, then applicant should point this out in the reapplication. Reason for previous refusal should be that the ECO wrongly assumed that applicant will be visiting friend in uk, whereas applicant had indicated "No" to the question (quote the number).
Mind you, if this isn't the case, you may not need to bother challenging the decision becos you may end up factoring in deceit and earning a 10yrs ban.
If you say it's ur friend (not you), ask ur friend very well about the details of that 4th paragraph.

Ps. I'm not antagonising you by any means and I apologise if I come across as such. You just need to critically assess that refusal letter so that you can correct future mistakes, should the applicant decide to reapply.

The Nigerian passport has a 5yrs validity b4 it expires,he has been to the UK on several occassion with a 2yrs nd 5yrs visitors visa,what he meant now is if he can apply for a 10yrs visitors visa and be granted since the Nigerian passport only has 5yrs b4 expiration or cant Nigerians apply for the 10yrs visiting visa because of our passport.

Hey Guys, good job you guys are doing here. I need you guys help asap. Im applying for UK visa and my employer is sponsoring me to UK as the Best Outstanding Member of Staff 2013. I have the following Documents:
1. Letter of Commendation personally signed by the Chairman congratulating me for the award of best staff
2. Certificate of Award signed by the General Manager
3. Letter of Employment
4. Salary Increment and Notice of Benefits(an official car, Ipad and Blackberry Phone, 5000naira recharge card, subsidized house rent of 300k yearly
5. Letter of Introduction stating that the company is sponsoring my trip to Uk as the best staff 2013, also stating that 6 different account of the company is attached to the application.
6. All my employer/Company Reg Documents, and Tax Clearance Cert
7. UK Visa Page of 10yrs of The Chairman
8. My Marriage Cert/Wedding Pictures/Naming Pictures/Birth cert of my daughter etc
9. Hotel reservation in sheraton
10 My wife letter of appointment, and offer/NHIS Enrollment form
Concerns:
This is my issue, My Take home is just 78k, because I have official car fuel by the Company(Full Tank every week), subsidized rent of 300k.
My old salary was 55k plus after tax, and it shows on my salary account. I presently dont have a dime in this account as I used all to set up a small business.

I have a personal GTB account that I can not explain different logdements and the inflow and out flow cos of the way my clients(outside jobs) pay me and the little business that I do and some supplies that i do outside office hours, even though I dont have a dime inside too. the logdements always comes in lump sum and leaves in lump sum to settle workers etc

I used all my savings to set up a small salon in my area, and it has not started bringing returns. The salon is not registered but I have insurance policy for it.

Now, in my application im filling online presently, I said i dont have any savings at all and that I spent around 115pounds on living expenses monthly.

Someone said i should not bother including my GTB statement of Account. I also said I have around 1200GBP for flights, Ticket trains etc, another 625GBP for accomadation, and another 220GBP for living cost and another 1000GBP as what I have for the trip totaling: 3024GBP. The expenses will be funded by my company.

Another friend ask me to tell my employer to pay the total cost of the trip into my salary account and state it in my personal statement. Is this right?

Pls guys help me out on this, im confused.
