Письма об отказах (виза в Великобританию)

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 because:

You have applied for entry clearance to the UK for 18 days. The information you have provided on your application form and the supporting documents you submit allows me to assess whether your circumstances and intentions are, on the balance of probabilities, as stated.

On your Visa Application Form (VAF) you have stated that you intend to visit your sister for 18 days. From 2013 until June 2016 you studied in the UK. You then returned to the UK as a visitor in March 2017 after being issued a 6 months visitor visa on 21 February 2017. On your previous application you stated that you intended to stay in the UK for 14 days to look for a university. Notwithstanding this you have stated on your VAF that you only returned to Russia on 19 August 2017. You therefore remained in the UK for 5.5 months. It is not clear what you did in the UK but I am not satisfied that such a prolonged stay is commensurate with the actions of a genuine visitor. This causes me to doubt your current intentions.

You are unemployed and financially dependent on your mother. From the documents you submitted she appears to have an income from a pension. This amounts to 5848 RUR (£75) (£1 = 78 RUR) a month. It is not clear from the evidence submitted where the savings are from and I am not satisfied that the funds in the account are genuinely available to you.

Taking all the evidence into consideration I am not satisfied that your current circumstances are such that you are genuinely seeking entry for a purpose that is permitted by the visitor routes (Appendix 4.2 (c)). Nor have you have shown that your circumstances are such that you will leave the UK at the end of your visit (Appendix V 4.2 (a)).

For the reasons above I am not satisfied that you have sufficient funds to cover all reasonable costs in relation to your visit including the cost of your journey, any costs relating to dependants and the cost of any planned activities. Your application for a visit visa has been refused under Appendix V4.2(e).

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 Appendix of the United Kingdom Immigration Rules. Any future UK visa applications you make will be considered on their individual merits, however you are likely to be refused unless the circumstances of your application change. In relation to this decision there is no right of appeal or right to administrative review.

The Decision

You are applying for entry to the United Kingdom to attend an English language course between 21/07/14 and 14/09/14. You have stated in your application that you are currently a full time student at the *****. I note the letter dated 20/05/14 that states that you are in second course extramural studies at the *****. I have no further information regarding the precise course of study at this University, the attendance requirements and the relevance of your intended course of study in the United Kingdom.

I have further noted that you were refused entry to the United Kingdom on 18/05/14 after being issued with a visa following your application on 28/01/14. You have stated your intention to follow a course of English language tuition and submitted your confirmation of acceptance for study at Southbourne School of English. You had not indicated this intended study on your previous application and enquiries have established that this course was booked immediately following your refusal on 21/05/14. This does not indicate a clear plan for your intended studies in the United Kingdom. I have no further information regarding your further study dates and potential employment in Russia. I further note that you have not sought to explain the circumstances of your refused entry on 18/05/14 other than to state that «another type of visa for study English course» was required. On balance I am not satisfied that your intention to study and return to Russia are as stated.

I have noted your stated income of £1450 each month from savings, investments and property. You have stated that your mother will fund this course of study but I have no further information as to the source of your income whilst you are a full-time student. I note your mother's monthly income of 44000RUB (£754) from her employment since 01/01/11. Her bank account statement indicates a balance of 69205RUB (£1187) on 21/05/14. The cost of the course is £3254, for part-board accommodation with a host family, excluding travel to and from the United Kingdom. I have no further information as to the source of your stated personal income and the origin of funds used to meet the cost of this course.

I am not satisfied, on balance, that your intentions to visit the United Kingdom and leave after a short period are as stated. I am further not satisfied that you will be able to maintain and accommodate yourself adequately in the UK without work or recourse to public funds or meet the cost of your return, or onward, journey from the United Kingdom. Paragraph 41(i)(ii) and (vi)(vii) of HC 395.

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

I have refused your application for a visit visa because I am not satisfied that you meet the requirements of paragraph(s) V3.6 and V4.2 of Appendix V: Immigration Rules for Visitors because:

Under paragraph V3.6 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:

- a genuine document that has been altered or tampered with;
- a counterfeit document (one that is completely false);
- a genuine document which is being used by an impostor;
- a genuine document which has been fraudulently obtained or issued;
- a genuine document which contains a falsified or counterfeit visa endorsement.

You have applied for entry clearance to visit the United Kingdom for 20 days to attend your son's graduation. In your application at question 27 you state you have not been refused a visa to the UK before. However, Home Office records show that you made an application on 14/05/2013 for entry clearance to the UK (IST/*****), which was refused on 04/06/2013. This application was submitted using a different passport (AC*****) to the one you have used for this application. Given this, I am satisfied that these details are material to your application and satisfied that you have failed to disclose material facts.

Because you have employed deception when completing your application form, the credibility of your application as a whole has been compromised. Given the statements you have made and the documents you have presented to support your application, I am not satisfied that you have shown that your intentions are as stated or that you intend to leave the UK at the end of your proposed visit.

I am satisfied that you have made false representations in support of your application and therefore I am not satisfied that your personal and financial circumstances are as stated by you. I am not satisfied that you are genuinely seeking entry as a visitor and that you intend to leave the UK at the end of your visit. Your application is refused under paragraphs V3.6 and V4.2 (a) & (c) of Appendix V of the Immigration Rules.

You should note that because this application for entry clearance has been refused under paragraph V3.6 of the Immigration Rules, any future applications will also be refused for the same reason, under paragraph 320 (7B) of the Immigration Rules or paragraph V3.7 of Appendix V of the Immigration Rules.

A refusal under paragraph V3.7 of the Immigration Rules may attract an automatic refusal period of up to 10 years. The period starts from the date of the previous event in which the deception or submission of falsified documents or information was employed. Any future UK visa applications you make will be considered on their individual merits however you are likely to be refused unless the circumstances of your application change.

In relation to this decision there is no right of appeal or right to administrative review.
