The reasons i have been refused visa for are :
1. Submitted Wrong Bank statement (even though i had funds available in my bank)
2. Answered NO to question 43
3. Put wrong dates to question 26.
1. I can show and prove that i have had sufficient funds in my bank but submitted wrong bank heedlessly.
2. Question 43 is
HAVE YOU RECEIVED ANY OTHER PENALTY IN RELATION TO A CRIMINAL OFFENCE; FOR EXAMPLE A CAUTION, REPRIMAND, WARNING, OR SIMILAR PENALTIES IN THE UK OR ANY OTHER COUNTRY?
i have been given PND which i didn't disclose.
3. Question 26 is
HAVE YOU EVER TRAVELLED TO THE UK IN THE LAST 10 YEARS?
the dates i have mentioned on my application were the dates when i have came to my country and when i have arrived in UK. ( i put them all opposite)
i have completely misunderstood these two Questions.I have emailed the whole case to a UK based solicitor and been told this
Text in Red are his replies to my email.
"Thank you for your email.
First of all, the Home Office have not banned you for 10 years, they have said that if you make the same mistake again then they will ban you.
Secondly, in relation to the refusal, the Home Office will not accept new evidence so the fact that you have another bank account will not be accepted even if it is for the same date.
Thirdly, I would recommend making another application, have the correct statements and clarify the error you made on this application. Make sure that the next appn is correct. If you want we are more than happy to assist with your applications, but this will be at a cost.
The reason I suggest new application is because it will be quicker and you are more likely to succeed. With a review they will look at the documents you already provided which means you are already on the back foot and wasting your time and money.
I hope that helps. If you need any further help, please feel free to get in touch.
Kind regards"
I have replied him with
"Thanks for replying to my email. I would like to ask again that are you really sure that I'm not banned because it states "
You should note that the application for entry clearance has been refused under paragraph 320(7A) of the immigration rules, any future applications MAY also be refused under paragraph 320(7B)of the immigration rules
A refusal under paragraph 320(7b) of immigration rules attracts an automatic refusal of 10 years.
As I'm told that
" A ban essentially means that EC applications will be refused without consideration. In other words, you cannot apply for 10 years if handed a 10 year ban."
Please kindly clarify all these questions
Got a reply
"Regarding the ban, as you say yourself, it says may. If you were to lie again on the next application then the 10 year ban will come into effect. The 320 (7A) is a warning basically."
Emailed back
"But I didn't intend to lie or hide any Information from
UKBA whatsoever and completely misunderstood both questions. And secondly I will provide you with everything (documents - bank statement - CAS ) but I'm afraid now they would reject my visa because it's states
"A refusal under paragraph 320(7b) of immigration rules attracts an automatic refusal of 10 years."
Regards"
got email
"You can explain that in the new application and as long as new documents are correct and no more mistakes then there will be no problems.
Remember you were not refused under 320 (7B). If you lie again then you will be refused under 320 (7B)."
The application has been refused for intention to use fraudulent documents. If you submit an application with the same documents then you will be banned for 10 years.
As it stands you have been refused and warned so to speak not to use them again.
It would be really appreciable if you guys clear this out for me and help me out and advise me what is the best for me to do . Is this immigration expert right ? or He is just trying to make me his client.
