Thank you for contacting the UK Visas and Immigration International Enquiry

We have received the following update from the Decision making centre on

'Your passport is held securely by the British Deputy High Commission in
Lagos until we have advised them that a decision has been completed on the

I have picked my passport today and it was a refusal. bt I was given an opportunity of administrative review. How long does this take when I submit more proofs, Why was I given an administrative review option? Does it require some charges pls and how much??

ekpotek:


AR means that you can send a letter to the Application Centre, for them to review their judgement. You are given the opportunity to address the issues raised by the ECO in your refusal letter if the ECO erred. You can also submit any additional document to support your position why the ECO erred in refusing your application. AR is free.

ekpotek:


Simply means that your passport was not sent to Sheffield along with other documents. Is your application a renewal?

gg4real:
was not a renewal, just six months visa application

ekpotek:

Okay if this is your first application. Then nothing to worry about. You will get a decision soon.

I'm just wondering he once mentioned a while ago that he overstayed for 9 months - I do not know about this whole thing and the way it works but I know the application is being delayed because he overstayed a while ago and you mentioned it yourself that the someone said you would probably get a year ban. Like I said - I do not know about this but just give them time to go through the application. P.S: The Internet never forgets. You asked the question below a while ago

@gg4real - Hello Gurus in the house, I had a two years UK visa which has expired. I used this visa twice and on the last occassion, i mistakenly over stay for a period of 9months and at the point of exit, the officer told me that I will only be given a punishment of 1yrs ban but I have not apply since my return two years ago.

My question now is that If I apply now, is there possibility that I will be given the punishment now or it has already pass since I havent apply since two years ago. Also, if I apply, do I stand any chance of getting the visa again?"

Hello @justwise and co., I submitted my visa application online last week for Tier 2 General visa application. The agency recruiting me paid for my IHS but the payment has not reflected on my online page.
Please can I cancel the application? And if I do will the money be refunded back to the agency?
