Gurus in the house please help look at this refusal letter A friend of mine just got after she has a been refused twice before. This time around no reason at all was given for the refusal. Please see attached. And what can be done.

obiz0819:
Good Afternoon, my visa application was refused sometime in August this year based on the fact that my budget was more than my income.

I would like to make a reapplication this month but I kindly need your inputs on the following:

1. Would it be Ok to reduce my stated expenditure in this new application? In my last application, I stated that I spend 70k per month, leaving me with a disposable income of 130K so I want to state that I spend 40k/Month so my planned budget could be 320k for 5 days trip

2. I previously stated that I had additional income but I did not provide evidence for that. Tho the ECO didn't query my lack of evidence, I want to state now that I don't have an additional source of income in this new application, would this be fine?

@Justwise and others please help out with your thoughts.

Thanks

Candybright:
you can reduce your expenditure .
For additional income, maintain what you said ealier and if possible provide proof this time

ibukunpops:
I dont think you should reduce your monthly expenses, rather provide the proof of the additional income and a letter explaining you can afford the trip with your stated additional income which should be proplerly documented.

Hi All.
Greetings and hope you're all having a good week.
Please which of locations is better to drop UK visa application in Lagos?
Thanks.

Seeyat:


You write "Reconsideration review request" and highlight where you think ECO has made a mistake on the refusal letter and address it. Don't forget to include your application number.

Email: complaints@homeoffice.gov.uk

You can try this as well: VisaSheffield@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk

Good luck.

Candybright:

Yes you can. Someone I know have used this and no problem atall. They can always still call your bank to verify.

I specially want to thank @ekpotek and @justwise and every other people that contributed their opinion. My visa application was refused in September due to Eco not checking all documents i submitted, i was adviced by these two wise men to contact them and complain which i did. 21 days later i received an email saying they're conducting an Independent review of my complaint.

5 days ago i received another email stating "Please note your visa decision has been overturned" I have submitted my passport with a copy of the email received from them.


I appreciate every advice given and God bless you guys

justwise:


Congratulations!! I hope people learn from this and stop listening to pple who claimed that you need to go to court to get visa refusal overturned.

Online generated account statement is not meant for visa application... The one printed from bank always have their stamp on each pages of the copies where as the online doesn't....try and get the one from bank if possible

Please yellow fever vaccine compulsory when you want to visit UK. Please i will be going with my kids

Even if you cut to 20k they won't give u. The visa officers are too smart to see desperate people though u may be genuine and sincere but they judge you from your income and expenditure. They like to give visa to those that one or two months salary will be enough to cater for the trip and still have change. Imagine you spending 40k on yourself in a month in your country and you want to go to thr country and spend so much. 40k is just like 75 pounds which may not last five days so you need to work on your finance for real

alutachuks:
Good evening great people.....I have uploaded my account statement today and I have an important question..
I have a bank account where I received my monthly salary.
I also carry out a lot of business transaction on that account .My business is not registered neither but I have a business where buying and selling take place regularly..
How do I explain this situation .I have invoices of goods I buy from online transaction which is clearly shown on my statement of account and also my invoice which I use as receipt..

the ECO just taya for your friend application so tey e forget wetin for write as the reason. S/He must have been pissed off with the application

Horlaidey007:
it quite funny tho. but can we make a complaint to that effect?

bigtt76:
Yes you have every right to information regarding your application but it also appears to me that you did not display the content of the first page where the reasons and documentations you submitted leading to the decision taken are usually noted. The displayed page only shows under what government act their decision was based on.
