Письма об отказах (виза в Великобританию)

The Decision

You were refused entry clearance for using deception on ***** (VAF MOS *****). This was because you had stated on that application that the purpose of that application was to go to the UK on business to visit MPH ***** Ltd. in Stapleton, Leicestershire. Enquiries were made of your stated UK sponsor Mr ***** ***** of MPH ***** Ltd. He confirmed that your visit to the UK was not for business purposes and that he intended to meet with you in London for non-business purposes.

The reasons for this refusal were clearly explained on your refusal notice. However, you have made no attempts to explain or dispute the grounds for refusal of your previous application under Paragraph 320 7A. I am therefore refusing you entry clearance under paragraph 320(7B) of the immigration rules. Any future applications will also be automatically refused, for the same reason, under paragraph 320(7B) of the immigration rules until 14/08/2024.

The fact that you practised deception on a previous application seriously undermines your credibility as a business visitor and I am not satisfied as to your intentions in wishing to travel to the United Kingdom now. As a result I am not satisfied that you are genuinely seeking entry as a business visitor and that you have legitimate business interests in the United Kingdom or that your circumstances in Russia are as stated. In addition I am not satisfied that you intend to leave the United Kingdom at the end of your visit, or that you can be adequately maintained and accommodated in the United Kingdom or meet the cost of your return or onward journey.

This means you have not met the requirements of paragraph 41(ii) to (viii) and (x) to (xii) In light of this I am not satisfied that you intend to undertake one of the defined business activities. I have therefore refused your application because I am not satisfied, on the balance of probabilities, that you meet all of the requirements of the relevant Paragraph of the United Kingdom Immigration Rules.

The Decision

Under paragraph 320 (7A) of the Immigration Rules a person must automatically be refused entry clearance if false representations or documents are used (whether or not material to the application and whether or not to the applicant’s knowledge) or material facts are not disclosed in relation to the application. A false representation for these purposes is a lie, or a false statement in a visa application, made either orally or in writing. A false document includes:

You state that you wish to visit the UK for 8 days for tourism and travel and that you do not have any friends or family in the UK (questions 81 and 82 of your application). One of the documents submitted in support of your application is a letter from ***** ***** at MPH ***** Ltd, inviting you to visit on a business trip at their premises in Stapleton, Leicestershire. This letter states that the general purpose of your trip is to visit factories and negotiations on cooperation. However, from the documents you have submitted, your hotel booking is for a hotel in London for the duration of your trip. During a telephone call with Mr *****, he confirmed that he is known to you personally and that the purpose of your trip is not for business, and that he would be meeting you.

Submission of false documents seriously undermines your credibility. Therefore it was difficult for me to accept the truth of any uncorroborated statements made by you including those relating to the purpose and duration of your proposed stay in the United Kingdom. This leads me to doubt your intentions in the United Kingdom and I am not satisfied that you are a genuine visitor who intends to leave the United Kingdom at the end of your visit. Paragraph 320(7A) and 41(i)(ii).

You should note that because this 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, (subject to the requirements set out in paragraph A320).

I have therefore refused your application because I am not satisfied, on the balance of probabilities, that you meet all of the requirements of the relevant Paragraph of the United Kingdom Immigration Rules. Your right of appeal is limited to the grounds referred to in section 84(1)(c) of the Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act 2002.

The Decision

I have refused your application for a visit visa because I am not satisfied that you meet the requirements of paragraph(s) V4.2 – V4.10 of Appendix V: Immigration Rules for visitors because:

In order to be able to make a decision on whether or not to grant you entry clearance in this category I have taken into account your stated circumstances in Russia, the reasons for your visit and your proposed travel arrangements.

You have declared that you are self-employed earning a salary and have savings, you have living costs in Russia and you have £1000 for this visit. You state that you will come to the UK for 7 days and you have a sponsor in the UK. You state that you are coming to work for them and will be paid £1100 for your work. However, working in the UK under Appendix V is forbidden and I am therefore not satisfied that you are coming to the UK as a genuine visitor.

In light of the information provided I am not satisfied as to your intentions in wishing to travel to the UK now. I am not satisfied that you will not will not undertake any prohibited activities set out in V 4.5 – V 4.10 of these rules. (Paragraph 4.2 (d) of Appendix V Immigration Rules for Visitors).

Furthermore, I am not satisfied that you are genuinely seeking entry for a purpose that is permitted by the visitor routes, not satisfied that you will leave the UK at the end of the visit and that you will be able to maintain and accommodate yourself adequately in the UK or meet the costs of your return or onward journey from the UK. Your application is refused under Appendix V4.2 (a) (c) and (e) of the Immigration Rules
