UK visa Extension Refused with 1 year ban

Dear Sir,

my case is as follows.

I was first granted a uk student visa in the year 2006 (valid from 10/09/2006 to 31/01/2008) to study MA in international business from University of Northampton. However, I changed the University to West London college to study Masters in business administration.The U.K Border Agency was informed about this change of University.I was granted a student visa extension from 18/02/08 to 30/11/08 to pursue the course at west London college.I simultaneously joined Diploma in Information technology on 17th Sept 2007 at Cambridge college of learning.

On completion of the diploma on 23/05/08 I had applied for Tier 1 post study work category but U.K Border Agency refused my visa on grounds of false representation or the failure to disclose any material fact for the purpose of obtaining leave to remain with a right to appeal and returned my pp back on 30th jan 2009

Instead of appealing against this decision my lawyers suggested that I should apply for student visa extension as I was already in possession of the enrollment letter and attendance letter from West London college which i did on 10th feb 2009.

But after 9 months of visa application, i.e 11th Nov 2009 the U.K Border agency once again refused my visa extension application on same ground as before but this time with no option to appeal but to leave the country. I came back volantarily on 29th december 2009.IS151A was served to me in my passport at the airport.I was also give IS101,IS151A and IS151D inform of letters.my passport had also expired on 29th march 2009 which ukba allowed me to renew before travelling back to india on 11th december 2009.

I do not wish to waste 1 yr so I have applied for irish student visa on 21st june 2010 to study ABE advanced diploma in travel and tourism for 19th july 2010 intake.I wish to know if you can guide me in my case if i am able to apply for uk visa next year to Hammersmith and west london college for Mba in hospitality for 1st march 2010 intake and are there any chances of me getting a uk visa.

Regards

Asmita

  • Hello Everyone,

    Initially I went to UK in 2004 on student visa to pursue my bachelors then in Feb 2008 I switched to HSMP Tier1 (general) visa on the basis of my previous experience and earnings in India, my visa was valid for three years till may 2011. In 2009, I did finish my degree but was on a work permit from an year before. After that I worked there for nearly 2 years till this year April 2011.

    Now, I am in INDIA and have applied to few good MBA universities in UK and got offer.

    My question is –> after applying student visa, do you think that UK embassy officials could refuse my visa or ask me why have I switched to HSMP Tier 1 before finishing my degree in 2008 ?

    To be honest, I did this because there was a provision in place and want to get benefit from it. From last one year I couldn’t receive a good contract so I returned to India in the intention to go back in Sept 2011 on the student visa. I never violated any immigration rules!

    please answer my query if you can :-)

    Many thanks,

  • Dear,
    there is my case: I was in Tier 4 visa for my MBA course. I had successfully submitted my dissertation and was waiting for the results while my previous visa shortly to be expired (on 31st August 2010). However, I am interested in Finance Analysis so that I decided to apply CFA course in Kaplan Financial Institute instead of returning to my home country.
    My new Tier 4 application was posted on 26th August 2010, before the date of expiry. Unfortunately, it was retuned to me as an invalid application because my payment did not go through. Home Office said that I can re-apply a new valid application even my visa obviously expired at that time.
    Continuing this work, my next application therefore was posted on 13th September 2010 (my visa expired on 31st August 2010).
    The second misfortune happened to me when I received the refusal letter from UKBA on 6th October 2010. The reason of refusal is that I have not met the requirement of maintenance (funds). Unfortunately, UKBA stated that I had no right of appeal against that decision because the application was posted after the date of expiry. They kept my passport and said that I have to contact with the local enforcement office to arrange my return.
    Following the direction, I contacted with that office immediately to arrange for my voluntary return. UKBA in Old Street, London Office served me by IS.151.A, IS.151D, IS.96 form that I did not understand what it is actually. The officer advised me to explain clearly my case when I apply next application; he also released my passport at that time.
    I returned to my home country on 31st October 2010.
    Now, I do not know my current status. To be specific, I want to know:
    HOW MANY YEARS I WILL BE BANNED FROM ENTRY THE UK?
    Thanks you very much for your helps.
    I am looking forward to hearing from you.
    Yours sincerely,

  • hello ashika,
    were u given any IS151A when u left uk?
    since i presume that u were not given entry on arrival to uk then they must have handled you one year ban.its when the entry is refused at the immigration in uk.
    well the ukba cannot refuse u a visa coz they are not sure of ur intensions..they mush have refused u because of either change of circumstances or that u have hid something that they later found out u need to read ur refusal letter which they must ahve handed u at the airport.u will know y exactly and u may apply for uk visa after one year u have to be very honest with everything probally u should draft a letter to ukba and tell them everything that happened and send it along with the application.ukba cannot refuse u a visa then if ur ban is over.

    ufopower
    honestly even if ur were a student who attended ccl or u didnt..doesnt matter..u have ccl attached to ur name now…ukba doesnt wanna know if u were a real student of fake they will see ccl a fake college and refuse visa and since u mentioned ur burnt all the documents u ahve very low chances of winning a appeal.I know a few people who came back volantarity after ccl thing waited for 1 year and applied for entry clearance but they have their application still pending with ukba for 1.5 months now.no decision given as yet to their application.

  • hi guys!
    I feel sorry for all of you who have been victims of CCL, and for my self also.

    My case is the same.
    i came in uk in 2006 with a student visa with concept care college studied for a professional diploma level 5 in health and social care. untill end of 2007,then extended untill oct 2008 at the same college,
    between aug 2007-aug2008 i did a course in business management in CCL. they told us it was post graduated,however in oct 2008 i aplied for PSW from this college, and in Jan 2009 i was informed from the college that is better for me to cancel my application due to lack of documents from the college, so i did, on 15th of jan 2009 i called up UKBA and cancelled my application, they told me that, your docs will be sended back to you with no decision,but when i recieved the docs i saw that a decision was made on the 15th of jan 2009, (the same day i cancelled)that i was refused due to representing false docs from CCL,they gave me right to appeal also,however i didnt appeal as my previous college got the accredition for level 6 diploma, and i went there again, and applied for another visa, which i was granted in april 2009 untill oct 2010,
    during this time i went home once and when i arrived in heathrow they kept me there for 30 min, asking why i have been refused and where i am studing, etc etc all those security questions, and finally they said i will not have this problem anymore, as its cleared off the system now.
    on May 2010 i managed to complete the course, and on july 2010 i joined West london college for a combinied advanced diploma and master in business administration,(2 years programe) I applied in person for a student visa on 17 aug 2010,and on the section D22 in the application form where it asked if i have used deception in order to stay in uk I ticked ”No” as in my understanding the previous aplication was withdrawed by me.
    however they kept my docs there and one week later i recieved the refusal, saying that i used deception from CCL and now failing to declare it, they didnt give me right to appeal as i still had a valid visa,and in the main time i got a job offer from imperial college health care at st’marys hospital and aplied for a work permit visa on 7th of oct2010 in person,as soon as the case worker typed my name in computer she said to me that my application falls under refusal again, as the same reasen appear, CCL.
    i told her i am here to explain, thats why i booked face to face appointment but she didnt take it into considerate at all, anyway on 24th of oct 2010 i recieved their decision which was a refusal again under the same reasen,but i still had 1 week remaining from my current visa so still no right to appeal, so i seek a legal advice and submitted a fresh application for working permit from my employer to be, but i had to take another certificate of sponsorship as the first one was used from UKBA(apparently the status was saying: used)
    anyhow, i applied againg by post, and on the 20th of dec2010 i was refused again for the same reason, now with right to appeal,i have subbmited my docs to the tribunal for the appeal but havent hear from them yet,its already two weeks now.

    i will go to appeal bu the problem is i have destroyed all the docs and evidences from CCL since january 2009 when i was told from ukba that they were false, and i dont have anything,i have tried to get some people who were to college that time, one lecture and one admin to be my witness but they are scared to come in the hearing court.
    i am a genuine student and i dont know what to do,i have been studied there but as the situation is complexed its hard to be believed now.
    i dont know how long the appealing process will take as dont want to loose the job in the hospital, my employer is waiting for me since oct 2010.
    oh by the way i have completed the advance diploma with west london college in december 2010, and was due to start my MBA on 18th of jan 2011 but i withdrawed because of the decision of ukba on 20th od dec 2010, and i was to stressed to proceed, so basically now i am just waiting for the appeal, while student visa rules still apply to me.

    anyone has any idea how my appeal will be and what should i do to proof to ukba that i was a genuine student there????

    thamks in advance and wish you all good luck!
    god bless you all!

  • I went to London on the 14th of June 2004 as a visitor with my ex husband. I was granted a six months visa. Then I was told about the possibility of converting my visitor’s visa into student visa if I wanted to study. So I made an application at Walton College in Tottenham London to study Health and Social Care and sent a student visa application to the Home Office. I got my student visa till the 31st of October 2005. After my Health and Social Care course, I carried with an Access to Medicine Course, still at Walton College and I was granted a further visa extension till the 31st of October 2006. The Access to Medicine course was due to finish in June 2006, but due to administrative problems at the college, all my assignments and those of my friends were assessed in November 2006 instead by an external verifier. As a result, I had to refuse offers that I got from universities which I applied through UCAS because I did not have my access certificate ready, and the university intake was in September 2006. I wish to add that I already had a conditional offer from Middlesex University to study Biological Sciences with Biomedical Sciences that was due to start on the 18th of September 2006. When I had to send my passport for my visa extension, I requested from the administration of Walton College that they provide me with a letter explaining that my access to medicine course was extended due to problems at the college, but they refused saying that they will get into trouble with the home office. By the time I gathered all the documents necessary for my application and posted them, they reached the Home Office one day late that is my visa expired on the 31st of October 2006 and they received it on the 1st of November 2006 thus resulting to my visa extension refusal on the 11th of December 2006. When I contacted Walton College, the student council suggested that I make an appeal against the Home Office decision. So I contacted Raj Law Solicitors in Tooting Broadway in London.
    Raj Law Solicitors made an appeal on the 5th of January 2007 to the Home Office and I got back a reply on the 25th of June 2007. Then a friend suggested that I meet a family friend who works as immigration solicitor, Mr Zafer Altinbas. I met the solicitor and he suggested that we try to make another appeal and again the Home Office refused and I got a reply on the 2nd of November 2007. When Mr Zafer contacted me regarding the reply from the home office, he told me that he has made a third application to the Asylum and Tribunal service and told me to wait. Eventually I waited even though I was beginning to feel hopeless and had made up my mind to return to Mauritius if the third appeal was refused. Just to be on the safe side, I asked Mr Zafer to give me a letter as proof that the Home Office was dealing with my appeal. ( Please find attached the letter given by Mr Zafer dated the 15th of February 2008).When Mr Zafer contacted me on the 28th of May 2008, he said unfortunately, I got refused and he thought it will be better to make a fresh visa application. But I refused because I knew what the outcome would be and on the other side I was mentally and emotionally affected by all these events. So I made it clear that I had decided to return to Mauritius. I made all the necessary arrangements to return back home and had all my documents ready just in case the immigration officer will ask for them at Heathrow Airport. When I got through immigration at the Airport, I gave all the papers to the officer to check and when he phone the Home Office to check, then I realised that no third appeal was made by Mr Zafer. The Home Office received only two appeals. And I was shocked. The immigration officer suggested that I get in touch with the solicitor when I get to Mauritius as I didn’t have much time as I had to rush to catch my flight. Eventually, the first thing I did was to contact the solicitor but in vain. I realised that he lied to me and I was completely depressed thinking that I have been staying there illegal for six months without even knowing, and the solicitor even gave me a letter as proof that he was proceeding with my appeal. From January 2007 to December 2007, I took an Intensive English Course, Advance Level at London Reading College in White Chapel.

    After some months spent in Mauritius, I decided to visit my sister in London on the 19th of February 2009 but I was refused entry upon arrival as the officer wasn’t sure if I was going to UK with genuine intentions or not. Can anyone pls help me out and let me know what i should do pls, if i can re apply for a visa this year as student still

  • Dear Pintu,
    let one year pass by….are you back to your country or in uk?..since you have mentioned ur appeal was refused in july 2010 i assume that you have now returned to your country.
    if thats the case then you have to wait till july 2011 and then apply for visa. 1 year ban provided you left volantarily…if you were physically removed then 10 years ban…
    let me tell you whats ur situation
    you have overstayed more than 28 days, used deception as per ukba ( i am not sure if you did buy the degree or really studied there, well its deception in the eyes of ukba deosent matter whether you studied or no,the college is blacklisted as it is so ur appeal must have been dismissed)
    you have no other option than to wait and apply after july 2011 assuming you left uk in july 2010.
    or you can do is write a letter to data protection act you can find information abt this on ukba sight and give them your details and ask them to confirm what exctly is your ban.
    when you apply for entry clearance after july 2011.give all your refusal letters and other documents you were given for refusing your visa. and if your refusal letter is missing explain them honestly what happened and why you dont have the letter with you.be honest as much as you can and see what the outcome is.if your ban is over and u satisfy all the requirements ukba wont refuse you entry clearnace..byt might take a while to decide on your application.

    dear Jack the sparrow
    its easy to go back on depedent visa after ccl and ukba doesnt reject a person as they have family rights coz they have a spouse in uk.
    getting a studnet visa after all this over stay and deception can be a bit tough.provided you dont lie abt anything on you application for entry clearance,

    • I entered UK in September, 2003 on student visa, I have completed my Diploma in ICT Practitioners System Support (Level 2), in 2004, then I extended my visa for further studies, home office granted me the visa till December, 2007. In October 2007 I applied for further visa extention and I have been refused under paragraph 62 with reference of 60(ii), 57(viii) of hc395, paragraph 322(5) of hc395. I had the right to appeal and I appeard at tribunal and after the hearing my case was dismissed on February 2008. I came back to home country voluntarily in March 2009, after overstaying for 13 months, nobody stoped me at immigration, no finger print or anything, either in uk or Pakistan airports.

      Now my wife is applying for student visa for UK, am i entitled to apply as depandent. I am just woundering are they going to refuse my application or does this application has any effect or my wife application. Does anyone know how many years i am ban for? KINDLY ADVICE ME, THANKS
