Vicjustice:
The delay is (most likely) because they are doing background check with the countries that you claimed to have visited: Naive indeed, you should have known that both the UK and the countries that you lied with are all in the EU.

Vicjustice:
You're on course

zabrinma: Thanx bros but i didnt state on the police report the year i travelled to those false country and that was on my old passport which was missing so Probably I should be expecting the 10 year ban,wow ignorance is a big shame and this was a friends advice who
has been to the uk before,Thanx for the quick respond bros so what do i tell them incase they call me for interview

lahwummie: @ vicjustice...Sorry about my use of english. And thank u for taking your time, really he was not contacted by the bank.
Now, do you think i should do an Administrative Review or I get the supporting document failed to attach previously and the reapply? Because I heard review might be taking long. My school is resuming 20th Jan.
Am planning of getting a letter from my ex husband with his company's letter head that was used previously,his passport page,drivers license and a letter from my lawyer. But am not sure about the Declaration letter from the bank.
Do you think that will be good?
Should I go for review or reapply?.
Thanks

mr flow:

@Vicjustice thanks for ur comment. However,I don't get it. Since sept 4, dat I sent the administrative review,I av not heard anything from them even if its a mail to acknolege receipt of d review and oda stuffs. Is there anyone who has any phone no I can contact them on to follow up? Am also thinking of applying again and dis time with my wife and 2 kids. Do uuu think I shld hold on and still expect somthing on d review? Or to go ahead and reapply. And is dere any suuggestions if am reapplying? Thanks

lahwummie: @vicjustice.. Please kindly give a quick response, do I go for Review or Reapply? So I can do that by tomorrow. Am sorry for disturbing you. Thanks
Since review is done if you think the ECO's decision is wrong.
His not wrong, because I truly did not attach a documentary 2 the claim that my sponsor for the first application was not contacted.
Please assist a sister,so I dont miss my admission.

Dramadiddy: morning guys....pls if u made ur application in lagos nd ups tried deliverin ur package nd failed..where do dey return d package back to..is it lagos or abuja?

lahwummie: @vicjustice...thanks for your earlier reply, I appreciate all. Want to ask for your last advice. As I explained that the study visa was refused Eco stating * you have failed to attach documentary to your claim* Now that have got the documents (1,letter from my lawyer,2,letter from d previous sponsor(that said bank never called him) and a 3,declaration from the bank).
I attach all these they said I failed to attach and then REAPPLY.
What do you think? Thanks.

Dramadiddy: Please guys, I need ur advice on what to do on this... you have applied to join Mr. A, whom you state is your uncle in the uk in support of your application. You have provided birth certificates, death certificates, photographs, school records and copies of emails. You state that your parents died in 2010 and since then you have been living with Mr. A's cousin. There is nothing to show that Mr. A has had day to day responsibility for you. You need to demonstrate that he provides you with all the emotional, financial and other needs which you may and do have that he can and does exercise full control over the major aspects of your life, such as schooling, religion, medical care, etc. Although you have provided school documents that your fees have been paid and letters from you to Mr. A thanking him for paying your fees, there is no evidence that he actually paid them. The letter from your school states that Mr. A has been your guardian all through 2006-2013, however you state that your parents died in June 2010 and that Mr. A became your guardian after that date. You have stated in your form that you keep in touch with Mr. A and his wife through via phone calls and emails. You have provided copies of emails from you to his wife but these are few in number and only cover the periods nov-dec 2012 and june-august 2013. You have provided a birth certificate for yourself dated October 23, 2013 and death certificates for your parents dated 02 October 2013. Your birth certificate has been produced over 16 years since the date of your birth and death certificates have been produced over 3 years since the date of your parent's death. As such, I consider these to be self serving documents and am not satisfied that you are related to Mr. A as claimed. Having considered all of this, i am not satisfied that Mr. A has had sole responsibilty for your upbringing. I therefore refuse your application under paragrph 297(i)(e) of the immigration rules.
You have provided no detail or evidence or your current care arangements in Nigeria. You state that you have been living with Mr. A's cousin since the death of your parents in 2010. You state that this cousin is married and you can no longer stay with them. Due to the lack of evidence of this arrangement, and the above stated concerns about your relationship with Mr. A, I am not satisfied that there are serious and compelling family or other considerations which make your exclusion undesirable and that suitable arrangements have been made for your care. I therefore refuse your application under paragraph 297(i)(f) of the immigration rules.
Please can you help point out the reasons they refused the application because there are many things written and I don't which is correct or wrong. Please thanks

Vicjustice: Even if you have every documentary evidence that you are related to this "uncle" and even if his responsibilities and providences for your welfare are documented, the visa officer still has a hundred and one reasons to refuse your application.
You "uncle" needs to have the guardian clearance which is (state approved) legal custody rights over you who must not be older than 16

sunnychic: Good evening all,


Pls what is the time frame between the spouse getting their document back and VFS calling for passport collection @ settlement visa

sunnychic: Thanks dramadiddy.

What I mean is after they have returned the spouse's documents to him in UK, how long does the passport take to get to Nigeria for collection?

Dramadiddy: what if im over 16 and is that d only wrong to correct?
