UK visa decision advice?

Upvote:7

Based upon what you have written (including comments)

  • You are a visa national from Nigeria who applied for entry clearance as a visitor

  • You did not include supporting documents to show your financial
    status

  • You did not explain why you previously stayed in the UK significantly beyond the intention you stated in a previous application

  • You used an alias whilst previously in the UK and provided no
    explanation

  • You did not disclose a criminal history

And two weeks after this refusal you want to make a fresh application that includes an invitation and a letter of explanation that you have prepared. And your question is if you are likely to be successful.

No. Decidedly not. You won't be back for quite some time. If ever...

The last two items in my list indicate that your next application may attract a ban under Paragraph 320 of the rules, which says in part...

(iv) using deception in an application for entry clearance, leave to enter or remain or in order to obtain documents from the Secretary of State or a third party required in support of the application (whether successful or not); and

there are other aggravating circumstances, such as absconding, not meeting temporary admission/reporting restrictions or bail conditions, using an assumed identity or multiple identities, switching nationality, making frivolous applications or not complying with the redocumentation process.

There is no discretion where Paragraph 320 is concerned. It is a mandatory ground for refusal.

Finally, you're wasting time trying to use the internet to resolve a stream of judgement failures that have brought unimaginable complexity to your case. There's only about a dozen solicitors in the UK who can successfully navigate Paragraph 320, and none of them appear as random people on the net.
