Письма об отказах (виза в Великобританию)

The Decision

You have applied for a short-term student visa to visit the United Kingdom from 15/09/20 to 30/07/21. You have submitted an enrolment letter from ***** and you state that the cost of your studies is to be borne by your mother and a British family friend, *****. You state that your mother is paying RUB 50,000 (approximately £513 at OANDA rate of exchange) and that Mr Saville is paying GBP 3,000 towards your studies.

I have refused your application for a short-term student visa because I am not satisfied that you meet the requirements of paragraph(s) A57C (b) (iv), (v), (vi) (vii) (ix) and A57E (b) because:

You submitted evidence that your mother’s average monthly income is RUB 37,000 (approximately £380 at OANDA rate of exchange). The balance in her Sberbank account is RUB 49,966 (£513 at OANDA rate of exchange) on 10/08/20. You submitted a letter from your mother, dated 18/08/20, stating she is paying for all the costs associated to your studies in the U.K. The evidence available to me does not satisfy me that your mother is able to meet these costs.

You have submitted a letter from *****, dated 29/07/2020, in which he states he will pay for all costs associated with your studies. As evidence of his ability to fund your studies you have submitted a Barclays mortgage statement dated 04/05/20 and a letter from *****, stating ***** is employed by said company. There is no evidence of ***** current financial commitments or of funds available to him to demonstrate that he is able to meet all the costs associated with your studies in the U.K. Furthermore, it is unclear what benefits ***** will accrue by sponsoring your studies in the U.K. This leads me to question your motivations for wishing to come to the U.K. now.

You state that you are currently employed selling phone accessories, earning RUB 20,000 (approximately £205 at OANDA rate of exchange on 11/09/20). You state that you live with your parents and one sibling. You submitted a certificate showing that you last studied in 2018 and there is no evidence of any subsequent studies since then. I am not satisfied that your circumstances in your home country are such that would prompt your departure from the U.K. at the end of any period of leave granted to you.

I am not satisfied that you are genuinely seeking entry as a short-term student. I am also not satisfied that you have access to the available funds for your intended trip. Your application has therefore been refused under paragraph A57C (b) (vi), (vii), (viii), (ix). Furthermore, I am not satisfied that you intend to leave the UK at the end of the study or at the end of 11 months whichever is sooner. Your application has therefore been refused under Paragraph A57E(b).

Because your application has been refused, the Health Surcharge payment made in relation to this specific application for a visa/entry clearance will now be refunded automatically. The refund will be made to the card used to pay the Health Surcharge. You should note that you may be required to make a fresh Health Surcharge payment with any fresh application.

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 of Appendix V: Immigration Rules for visitors because:

You have applied to travel to the UK for a period of 7 days as a tourist.

You have stated that you are employed as a ***** and that your total monthly income is 71500.00 RUB (£727.04 https://www1.oanda.com/currency/converter/ as at 26/08/2020). You further stated that you spend 60000.00 RUB (£610.10) a month on a living costs which would leave you with £116.94 disposable income every month. You therefore intend to spend approximately 8.5 times your disposable income on a short trip to the UK where you have no family or friends.

I further note that closing balance on your bank account as at 05/08/2020 was 77,700.00 RUB (£790.08) and you have stated that trip will cost you £1000.00. I am not satisfied that you have sufficient funds to cover all reasonable costs in relation to your visit.

I have considered all information submitted in your application; and on the balance of probabilities I am not satisfied that you have accurately presented your circumstances or intentions in wishing to enter the United Kingdom. I am not satisfied that you have access to sufficient funds to cover all reasonable costs in relation to your visit without working or accessing public funds. This means that I am not satisfied that you are genuinely seeking entry as a visitor or that you intend to leave the United Kingdom at the end of your proposed visit Paragraph V 4.2 (a) (c) and (e) of the Immigration Rules.

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 of Appendix V because:

You have applied to visit the United Kingdom for 5 days visit for tourism. In assessing your eligibility for entry to the UK I have considered your personal and financial circumstances as evidenced by your application form and supporting documents.

You state that you are employed as a ***** and earn £786.00 per month and have savings of £6,454.00. I acknowledge that you have submitted documents including a letter from your employer to demonstrate your employment and income. You say that you spend £300.00 per month on living expenses, leaving you with a net monthly disposable income of £486.00. You say that you are planning to spend £600.00 on your proposed visit to the UK and no one else is contributing to the cost of your visit. I note that your proposed expenditure is more than twice your monthly expense. This degree of expenditure on a short tourist visit appears disproportionate to your current economic circumstances.

To demonstrate your financial circumstances you have submitted a letter from Alfabank in your name dated 29 September 2020, showing a summary balance of 8,300.00 UDS (£6,349.54). However, the source of these funds are unknown. In the absence of demonstrating source of funds, I am not satisfied that this bank statement represents a true and accurate reflection of your current financial circumstances.

From the information on your application form and the documents you have submitted, I am not satisfied that you intend to leave the United Kingdom or that you are genuinely seeking entry as a visitor. I am also not satisfied that you are able to cover all reasonable costs in relation to your visit without working or accessing public funds. Your application is therefore refused under paragraph V4.2 (a), (c) and (e).
