My job is fine, I get paid a decent salary as well. But just to clarify, would they still throw a fuss if I apply this time and when should I say I began work with the family business? The Truth (Jan 2011) or should I change it to Jan 2012 just to satisfy them? And would this cause me any problems as I said Jan 2011 before?Lucapooka wrote:If you have a steady job that is not a the bottom of the socio-economic pyramid, it should be okay.

These are the reasons why you were probably denied entry.Mardavich wrote:
The problem is my girlfriend/friends and life pretty much is/was in the UK
My question in summary is I wish to go back and visit my girlfriend/friends/get my things properly from my friends and come back.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks for your reply.thebionicredneck2003 wrote:Hi,
You should always say the truth in every application. You can include some notes to explain that although you were in the UK, you were already working for the business and then took up a permanent role in Jan 2012.
The key thing as Lucapooka has already said is having strong ties to your home country. Obviously, you have had rejections within a very short space of time and you have a girlfriend in the UK which can raise a suspicion on your possible intentions. These are things you need to consider before making the new application again within such a short space of time.
You need to remove all reasonable doubt from the caseworker dealing with your application and prove that your intention is just to visit and not to come and start a life with your girlfriend.
Good luck
You may well argue I was silly but the only thing I'm guilty of is telling the truth. My visa in the country I'm currently in was renewed but tied to my family business in Jan 2011. Although I was still living in UK, I was technically employed there as well. But I regret putting that now, I think it would have made more sense to put it down as Jan 2012.pennylessinindia wrote:Looks like you were a bit silly saying you were working for the family business when you were in the UK, unless you can show that was really the case why did you put it? To make your application look better. Now your credibility will be questioned when you apply again and perhaps rightly so. You could try and explain why you said what you said last time and see if it sounds reasonable.
Given you long history in the UK it is likely to be hard to show you have strong connections with the country you are now living in, you still have strong connections in the UK with a girl friend so I think you may find it hard to show your connection with your own country
Thanks for your reply, let me clarify a few points.Ted wrote:These are the reasons why you were probably denied entry.Mardavich wrote:

Why cant your friends sent you your property via a delivery service?
If your girlfriend is a BC she can sponsor you as a prospective spouse.
Why should the UKBA except your weak reasons to want to return to the UK.
Your previous visa was denied, why? How much time in the UK did you ask for?
Maybe if you ask for a one week visa to unable you to gather you things then they may consider this.
Looking for a bit of clarification on these questions. Should I just go ahead as one of the posters above said and explain that I began in Jan 2011 but took a full time role in Jan 2012. Will I face any problems? And would getting no's in my previous visit visa application affect my future application?Mardavich wrote:My job is fine, I get paid a decent salary as well.

Any ideas if getting a no previously affects my chances now?
Thanks
