General Grounds for Refusal
Original Points awarded
AR Points awarded
ECM Comment:
The Entry Clearance Officer stated concerns
in the following areas:
- Lack of knowledge about sponsoring
institution;
- Doubts due to significant gaps between
studies; and
- Credible income source to fund full cost
of course.
I note that you have attempted to address
these concerns within your
representations. I have reviewed your case
file alongside your
representations in detail. I have not been
satisfied that the ECO was
wrong to refuse this application, based upon
the evidence before him
(including that of your interview). I
therefore uphold this decision based
upon lack of points for your CAS and under
‘general grounds of refusal’.

Dos are d mails I got.

No lawyer will be able to remove the ban, traveling to EU or western countries may be an issue but individual countries will access your application on its merit, avoid trying to withheld info during your application to any country.

thought I should let u know. My husband had met with a lawyer in d uk n d lawyer told him that it was a mistake from d british embassey n I could get compensation for that, The embassey did not resite on d admin review, they thought I just reaaplied with some added documents without knowing that I've gone for admin review which takes 28days. He was also adviced (my husband) to go through his school authourity so they can sort it out with d embassey, I pray it works so I can re-unite with my husband.

worry359:
Well looking quickly it seems that you did not supply the correct education details.
I am not sure about finance.
Were you under 16 or 18 yrs old?

All together it looks like you submitted a very badly presented case in the firse submission then tried to appeal with no improvements.

You need to start from scratch again if you want to travel,
but you must get your (GENUINE) documents sorted first.

I submitted original documents but they complained about gaps between degrees...
Finished waec 2004, entered a uni 2006, although I got admitted thru a pre degree course which I started 2005, then finished Uni 2011, went for service 2012 and finished 2013, and still d ECO complained about gaps... How do I explain to him delays happen in Nigeria's educational system

About my maintenance, I can handle dat dis time around

And lastly, they complained I didn't know enuff abt my sponsor, this I can rectify also... Cos I will be prepared b4 going for the interview dis time around

Mistake by British embassy that you lied in your first application which is when the ban started?

That you can get compensation? Unbelievable.

Good luck though, I hate discouraging people.

I still believe u don't still get me. my warning ban had already been lifted by the eco or whatever u call it and I was sent an email to go n reapply which I did, and this time around I did not lie or submit any false doc. But I got banned. I believe there,s something needed to b sorted out. Or maybe is becos I didn't submit d eco email since I thought they'll have there own copy,
Anyway I believe I will get out of this mess and am not looking forward to any compensation anyways.

Maybe you did not understand the review email, if the ban was lifted and you were asked to reapply and you did not lie or submit any fake document then they will not ban you. If your ban was not lifted after review and you reapplied again your ban will restart.

British embassy will not ban you for committing no offence. If you are still confused then go for appeal if you are given full right of appeal.

The closer the costlier, you better book now

I need your advice on these, the great travel gurus in the house. I deposited 3.1m in my account some days back, which was even far above the money required by the UKBA to issue my visa, but to my greatest surprise, the money as fell short some 100's of pounds due to devaluation and weak naira, won't these affect my chances to be issued visa? My tuition is 10300 and I paid 7k pounds already and just went through the new Tier 4 brochure it states I must have at least 9months maintenence fee

House please how does UKVI verify degree results and statements because ive been trying to reach my school (ABSU) via email and telephone to no avail. The phone rings and they wont pick and also the email I sent to them last month has not been replied. Im worried as this may cause delay in processing my application.

Amefrica.. You've got mail pls. I need to ask you a question. Thanks

You don't have to worry about that. Just submit the original and leave the verification to them.

Hi,
I need advice from someone about applying for tier 4 general student visa, I applied for a visa in August it was refused and I couldn't got to university in September so I applied to another university for January start.The issue is when they returned my Documents my original birth certificate did not come with the rest documents and I need it to apply for this new visa, as my maintenance funds are in my parents account, I am planning to apply for a new birth certificate and put a copy of both the old and new one and explain in a letter and possibly swear affidavit of what happened, would this work out?
Thanks so much

peace2mankind:
hello guys please I need your help. I am a bit confused with this 28 days rules o
I deposited my maintenance funds into my account since 22 October 2014, and only did a single transaction last month.
my question is, can I print bank statement from 22 October 2014? becos if I print from the 10th of November to 08 December which makes it 28 days , it will show only the closing balance, and wont show how the money got in.
in a nutshell im worried that the might ask how the money got in because basically no transaction within the last 28 days.
please biko I need help here cos I got appointment tomorrow
thanks

It doesn't matter, they only wanna see the closing balance and that it covers the 28 days period.
Nevertheless, I'll advice you print 30 days.

You don't need to swear an affidavit of 'what happened' but I would advise you swear an affidavit of your date of birth as it is anew acceptable replacement for a birth certificate. But make sure you include the letter and ask them for the birth certificate.

That being said, on what ground where you denied as withholding a document means it is fake and carries a ban

Thank you very much, I was denied because of maintenance didn't have enough funds my agent told me I had established presence because my previous visa was still valid but at the time of applying for a new visa for university it had expired.
