Parents general visa refused

[milesh2014]

Hi,
My parents general visa refused based on insufficient financial documents. I filled in their applications and did not take much care to fill in their accurate employment information as I was thinking that my documents are only required.

Now I plan to resubmit the application 2nd time but in 1st application I had filled in 25K/month earning for my father but as per tax documents its 10K/month.

Is it fine if in 2nd application, I fill in 10K/month?
Will the visa officer check what information was submitted in 1st application?
Can the 2nd visa application be refused based on incorrect information?
Is it fine if I write a cover letter stating that by mistake I had filled in the inaccurate information of my father earning?

Pls advice. Appreciate everyone's response.

Showing that you, as the sponsor, have money while showing nothing for the applicant is a common mistake. You could be a millionaire many times over but, in spite of this, without having strong social and economic ties to the homeland, anyone you sponsor might be refused.

So, apply again showing everything that relates to your parents social and economic ties, in addition to evidence of your own financial support. You might include a letter explaining why you omitted their specific details from the previous application (that being you assumed your money was all that was necessary). How you explain the discrepancy in the amounts is going to be a problem as this will be scrutinized and may be viewed as a type of deception. That would involve a lengthy ban on entry. But why did you overstate his income; I don't see how that can be deemed a simple oversight? You may come to regret that lapse of judgement.

Thanks for the response.

I wonder what should I do now to call them here in UK? has anyone faced such issue?

Your only option is to reapply, put the correct information and include a covering letter as to why the details are different. But I'd be sceptical if I were the ECO - it's pretty hard to make a mistake such that you overstate someone's income by 150%.

You should expect a second refusal citing deception and a ban. If you get anything else - count yourself lucky.

But your only path is the one above.

Why on Earth do that, very foolish, probably will result in a ban for deception, you can't claim it was a mistake.
