Dear Moderator
We are just venting our anger, but maybe in a wrong way.
If there are requirements to be met, let it be made available to all concern, so you play by the rule of the game.
A situation where what the guideline state is that i should show evidence that i have enough funds in my account to fend for myself without recourse to public funds and this i have done. The ECO now wake up to say that i should provide the source of the money in my account, where in the guidelines is that written(maybe i am not informed, i stand to be corrected). Providing the source will not be a problem, but for christ's sake let someone tell me what is expected of me.
On the issue of accommodation if they require us to provide a family of 3 that stays in 4 bedroom apartment. It should be stated, for pete's sake and whoever can not get that will look for an accepted alternative arrangement. What is the percentage of the people who can afford to stay in such places in UK.
The ECOs themselves know how roomy Nigeria accommodations are compared to what obtains in UK. I am positive that the kind of accommodation they stay in Nigeria they cannot afford it in UK. For christ's sake there should be a kind of decorum in the way they relate to visa applicants. One needs to experience it to know it is disgusting and distasteful(i'm sorry), but that is the truth.
All i am saying without mincing words is that they should make available in black and white what they expect from us EC applicants, then if we don't meet such they can be justified. Not a case of telling us the rule of the game at the point of disqualification, and telling us why we are being disqualified without an agreed rules to play by.
The whole thing is now trial and error. If you fail today, you try and improve on your documentations in the next application based on their reasons for refusal. The problem here is that the refusal stamps have a negative effect on one's passport, even though they claim that future application will be treated without prejudice.
One is left to wander through the maze by oneself, and feed on whatever information one can gather along the way from people who have learnt through the hard way.
Dear Moderator, like i said earlier i am very sorry, but i seriously pray for the day the Lord will bring back the captivity of Zion.
Like Yodi said, it is their decision to make, they have the horse and the rein.
"Behold, i have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it."
