This one is also possibly a LSEC case although it is not named and the appeal was dismissed:
And an article in the Sun:the Times wrote:Sharma, 44, a solicitor, and Shahi, 31, are believed to have earned at least £3 million from their role in the fraud. Individuals running one of the London colleges that provided them with sham certificates and diplomas are thought to have been paid £9 million for their work.
Employees at the London School of E-Commerce supplied fraudulent material including degrees, diplomas and employment material to the criminals. It ran only one questionably accredited nursing course but had a huge number of clients on its books.
At Isleworth Crown Court yesterday Shahi was convicted of conspiracy to defraud, handling criminal property and immigration offences. She was sentenced to eight years in prison. Sharma pleaded guilty to his role in the conspiracy before the trial started and was sentenced to seven years.
A third woman, Neelam Sharma, 38, was convicted of handling some of the money and was jailed for four years. The former teacher was cleared of conspiracy to defraud and immigration offences.
the Sun wrote:They discovered a mountain of 90,000 documents including false university certificates, academic records, bank statements and pay slips.
Investigators seized 980 individual files and of 117 analysed in detail, 113 were found to contain fraudulent information.
Mr Sheridan said the fraud focused on abusing the Highly Skilled Migrant Programme which is designed to enable well qualified individuals with useful skills to work in Britain.
He said the company would charge up to £4,000 to obtain visas and those behind the scam were so confident they offered a money back guarantee.
The barrister said: "The defendants can be said to have launched a systematic attack on the integrity of the Home Office by their submission of false and bogus documents.
"In some instances applicants from very humble backgrounds found themselves to be the holders of degrees and post-graduate qualifications in a matter of months.
"Academic ability was not the main criteria, cash was. They have achieved that status on arriving in the UK by paying for it without the troublesome step of attending college."
He added: "It is believed this prosecution represents the largest single prosecution of dishonest records ever submitted to the Home Office by an individual business. It is a huge attack on the system."

Personally I do not think you stand a chance if you are associated with both Univisas and LSEC, especially if you used documents from there to extend your leave in the UK such as attendance records or certificates.

I applied for student visa to study at uni. When I was in middle of course in jan 2009, they asked me to leave the country, accusing me to obtain two diplomas at lsec by deception. i left lsec in june 2007. then studied at another college for a year. then at uni from sept 2008-09. They are accusing me bcz of lsec. I have finished my masters, but i think i cann't even apply for PSW. Plz give me some guidance. my hearing is in first week of december.PaperPusher wrote:Why were you refused and what did you apply for?
Did you also use Univisas?
Did you use forged documents or deception?
Actually i want to get some information from the students who have or haven't got their appeals granted. ( specially who won the appeal). It will be very beneficial for me to prepare myself. If u know anyone or any information regarding this, plz let me know. Thx very much.PaperPusher wrote:You may want to get legal advice.

I need to know how much chance i will get visa after marriage?? is their any chance they will refuse my marriage visa on the base of my last CCL record?
Your 1 year period start the day you left Uk, But you need to inform UK Boarder Agency that you are leaving. The one year period will not apply on you if you apply Fiance visa or your girl Friend come to your home country and get married to you and then you will apply for spouse visa.
Out of country appeal application chances in this case are Zero
