Daddie1:
I just had a UK Visa refusal for the second time. I had taken key learnings from here to support the second application but I was surprised that it was met with a refusal.

Reason?

That I had over 5 million within the period of report. However, this money which they saw as credit into my account was a wrong debit on my POF account that was reversed. The case officer didn't interpret it as a reversal but took it as a new credit.

Second reason was that the amount I put to spend on the 2 weeks trip is too much for that period. I put that amount considering flight return ticket and my expenses in the UK but the case officer just took it that I wanted to spend that alone in the UK.

Moving forward, I have a wedding that I have been invited for February 2024. I would like to know if it's still fine to reapply in January and what steps I can take to improve my chances for an approval.

Lastly, what amount would be recommended as ideal to put as money I intend to spend to avoid them saying "this form of expenditure on a short trip of this nature is disproportionate to your current circumstances".

When you say remove or dedact anything..., please could you explain better. I would greatly appreciate

Upload the two refusals but remove or redact anything that can identify you personally.

Thegamingorca:


That's just the problem. Finding what to fill will always give them a reason to question it and it's just daunting.

You may think they are out to get you. In truth it was what you put in the application they are using to nail you.

Thegamingorca:


Yup that should suffice.

Ashirioluwa:


The ban has nothing to do with any of the airlines; it's the Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria that banned the use of that bag in any of the Nigerian airports.

Thegamingorca:

If you are not reapplying so soon or intend to reapply. You can send A letter to them explaining why you deserve the visa if their concerns has been answered in your application.

You should send a pre-action protocol (PAP) letter to Home Office UKVI before filing an immigration Judicial Review (JR) in Court and ask the Home Office UKVI to reconsider its refusal decision within 14 days.

What Is A Pre-Action Protocol (PAP)
A pre-action protocol (PAP) letter is a letter written to the Home Office, UKVI in order to try and resolve a dispute concerning an immigration matter before Judicial Review (JR) proceedings are started against the Home Office UKVI. A Pre-Action Protocol (PAP) letter may also be called a ’letter before claim’ or a ’letter before action’. All of these terms refer to the same thing.

Purpose Of Pre-Action Protocol (PAP)
The purpose of pre-action protocol (PAP) letter is to identify the issues in dispute and establish whether litigation with the Home Office, UKVI can be avoided. The letter contains the date and details of the immigration decision (the refusal letter), act or omission of the Home Office UKVI being challenged and a clear summary of the facts on which the Judicial Review claim against the Home Office, UKVI is based. It also contains the details of any relevant information that the applicant is seeking from the Home Office, UKVI and an explanation of why this is considered relevant.

Response To Pre-Action Protocol (PAP)
Immigration Judicial Review (JR) proceedings against the UKVI are not normally issued until the proposed reply date given in the letter before claim has passed, unless the circumstances of the immigration case require more immediate action to be taken. Home Office UKVI, should normally respond to letter before action (pre-action protocol letter) within 14 days and Home Office UKVI may face cost implications for failure to respond to pre-action protocol (PAP) letter unless there are good reasons for not responding within that period.

An application for permission to apply for Judicial Review can be filed in the Upper Tribunal or Administrative Court (High Court), as the case may be, if the Home Office, UKVI do not respond to the pre-action protocol letter within 14 days or the Home Office UKVI responds within 14 days but maintains their decision to refuse the immigration application.

The protocol does not affect the time limit specified by CPR Part 54.5(1) namely that an application for permission to apply for Judicial Review (JR) must be made promptly and in any event not later than 3 months after the grounds upon which the claim is based first arose.

Mail to send the letter to:

UKVIPAP@homeoffice.gov.uk

Kindly, help out. Thanks

SPDAZZY:
Thanks to everyone for their input here and for the guy who gave idea on properly formatting all documents in a pdf with table of contents. I think it helps with straightforwardness of applications.

Used same method for my mum and sister in-law's mum's visas and both were granted.

Standard visas gotten in about 5working days. Abuja and Portharcourt TLS.

Thanks be to God and to the wonderful people here answering questions.

Per the bold parts...
Does that mean those that files PAP/JR are sort of victimised?
