Seven Common Reasons for UK Visa Refusal

 

 

UK VISA– Of a truth, a visa refusal or denial brings disappointment, frustration, and confusion over what to do next to enter the UK lawfully.

 

 

Seven Common Reasons for UK Visa Refusal

We are often asked how to “guarantee” that a visa will be accepted. The simple answer is: that you can’t get a 100% guarantee because the Home Office are final decision maker. What you can do, however, is make sure your application is as strong as it can absolutely be.

 

 

 

The purpose or the intentions are not reliable

One of the main reasons for refusal that leads the consular office to deny your UK Visa is failing to have the needed justification for your purpose and conditions of the planned travel and stay. Such are the cases of:

  • Failing to present an employment and professional qualification that matches the presented financial situation
  • Incapacity to provide documents that support the purpose of travel and stay in the UK
  • The inability to offer unchanging declarations about the purpose of travel and stay

False documents

There is a common destiny for all the individuals (applicants) who attempt to present false travel documents to the embassy or consulate, trying to misrepresent their identity, using a fake identity – and that is an absolute visa denial and other accompanying unfavourable consequences.

 

 

 

Documents NOT presented in the correct format

It’s not enough to simply send the documents in a bundle. They need to be placed in the correct, chronological order and presented exactly as required. This includes even using the correct colour ink to fill in the forms This might seem like a petty reason to refuse a visa, but the best way to look it is this: make the Home Office’s job of reading your application as easy and simple as possible.

 

 

 

Specified Evidence Missing

Visa applications might seem simple, and the advice given on the Home Office website does make it appear so. However, the guideline notes only give a general outline and do not go into enough detail. Even a single date or an original of an official document missing can lead to a UK visa refusal.

Believing the Home Office will be lenient or “understanding”: Not true. Even the very slightest error will not be met with flexibility. Treat your application like a fine, delicate Ming vase: there is simply no room for error.

 

 

 

 

Non-Disclosure of information

Often applicants have had previous immigration or legal issues that they decide not to disclose, such as bans or certain criminal convictions already spent — especially if a long time has passed. But the Home Office misses nothing and questions everything. Worse still, if they believe an applicant has attempted to mislead or misrepresent themselves intentionally (deception) a UK visa refusal might be the least of your worries.

 

 

 

Applying for the wrong type of visa

A common example of this is when people from outside the UK wish to move to and settle in the UK. However, they mistakenly think they have to apply for a visit visa first, and then in the UK apply to switch to a settlement visa. “Switching” is not allowed for a visit visa and any suggestion that this might be someone’s plan, the Home Office would also refuse the visit visa.

 

 

 

Relying on advice from Home Office/UKVI

It might seem like the best place to get advice is from the source itself. However, call handlers at the Home Office/UKVI are not trained or qualified to give legal advice, and at best all they will do is redirect you to their website, or give you the same general information. They will not be able to discuss merits of individual cases which might need specific expertise to carefully complete the application.

Of course, there are many other reasons for a UK visa refusal, and it is always worth remembering that each case is unique. The UK has some of the most stringent immigration laws in the world, and with Brexit, on the way, no-one really knows what effect that might have on other parts of immigration policy.

An Explainer Of Primate Ayodele’s Prophecies On US Presidential Election

An Explainer Of Primate Ayodele’s Prophecies On US Presidential Election

An Explainer Of Primate Ayodele’s Prophecies On US Presidential Election

 

Following the emergence of Donald Trump as winner of the US Presidential election, many have shown their misunderstanding of Primate Ayodele’s prophecies hereby saying he missed the mark with his prophecy regarding the election.

An Explainer Of Primate Ayodele’s Prophecies On US Presidential Election

The prophecy which is being described as a miss was shared by Primate Ayodele on September 29. The prophet said Trump would lose if election was conducted on that day.

These were his words

”If there is an election today, Trump will not win, he will lose. Kamala Harris will shock the world, her policies will be better than Trump’s.

“Trump will be another disaster for the world and if there is an election today, he will fail. If he loses this election, he would want to create a kind of protest to instigate people, he must be careful.’’

Grammatically, this statement isn’t so ambiguous that it would be misunderstood by anyone who has primary knowledge of the English language. The simple explanation is that if an election was held on September 29, Trump would lose the election. It didn’t mean that if an election was held later after that date, it would remain the same; it’s not difficult to understand at all.

It would have been different if Primate Ayodele hadn’t given further updates and clarifications about this prophecy. He had shared prophecies before and after that statement regarding the US presidential election but probably due to laziness or an intentional move to smear the name of the prophet, the writer became blind towards other prophecies and dwelt more on the one he didn’t even understand.

In a video shared at a later date before the election, Primate Ayodele specifically warned Kamala Harris to be careful of Donald Trump and mentioned five states she should work on if she wanted to win the election.

“Kamala Harris listen to me now, you will lose this election if you are not careful enough, you are not doing well in your strongholds, they will knock you out at the electoral college. If you don’t want to lose, you have to work very well on your strongholds. If you are waiting to take from where Trump has, it may be difficult for you. Work very well to have a landslide in your strongholds. Don’t think that the way Trump is doing they won’t vote for him, don’t say that. For you to win this election, you must work very well on your strongholds and these five states; Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and California. If you don’t, it will be very difficult for you.”

Meanwhile, Primate Ayodele, in a prophecy before Kamala Harris became the candidate of the Democratic party, shared that she would have problems in some states he mentioned, and advised her on what to do to win the election.

“Kamala Harris will be nominated as the Democratic candidate, which will change the face of politics in America. During the general election, she will face challenges in states such as Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, Ohio, and Michigan. Just as I advised Hillary Clinton to concentrate on these states, Kamala Harris should do the same if she wants to win.”

From the foregoing, it’s important to note that picking just one prophecy out of about five prophecies Primate Ayodele made on the US Presidential election to push an agenda that the prophet missed is wrong and uncalled for. God knows for how long the writer has been waiting for Primate Ayodele to make a prophetic mistake but even this isn’t a mistake, it’s purely an intentional misunderstanding from the writer, and, sadly, journalism has been reduced to a propaganda tool in the hands of some practitioners.

By now, people should have gotten used to how prophecy works and how Primate Ayodele shares his prophecies. Primate Ayodele won’t say someone would lose and another would win without talking about how it will happen, either loss or victory. We need to understand that God loves everyone and it is not his wish that any negative thing happens to a candidate, however, he can warn both candidates and whoever follows ends up winning. It’s that simple.

Primate Ayodele said Kamala Harris would win the election if she could secure her strongholds and win five states which he mentioned but she lost some of her strongholds and out of the five states he mentioned, Harris won only one. What magic should have happened?

For Donald Trump, Primate Ayodele said he would lose if the election was held in September and this may have even inspired him to do more before the election finally held. We all saw the last-minute trick Donald Trump pulled; going to meet people personally, driving a garbage truck, going to McDonalds to serve fries, and several other gimmicks he employed to strengthen his base, what was Kamala Harris expecting?

Even in the bible, the blessing that was supposed to be gotten by Esau went to Jacob by strategy and gimmick. Esau was Isaac’s favourite and when he was about to die wanted to bless his favourite son but Jacob ‘stole’ that significant moment to receive the blessing instead. Hence, victory isn’t reserved for anyone, faith without work is death, Kamala Harris failed in the states Primate Ayodele warned her to work seriously and she lost, it’s simple.

Taking further clues from the bible, God sent Prophet Jonah to Nineveh to tell them the city would be destroyed in 40 days but after seeing their efforts at making things right, God himself told Jonah that he wouldn’t destroy the city any longer. As at the first time Jonah spoke, the city was to be destroyed but later on, the city was rescued. Would we now say Jonah missed it because what he initially said didn’t happen?

God sent a prophet to Hezekiah to inform him that he was going to die, and the prophet obeyed and delivered his message. However, after Hezekiah prayed to God, the prophet returned to say God had added 15 more years to his age. Did the prophet miss it?

Before we castigate prophets and men of God, there is a need for us to consider so many things and conduct due diligence. In this case, a simple analysis of English language, and the other prophecies of Primate Ayodele would have helped the writer understand better. Anyways, this is another failed attempt to smear Primate Ayodele’s name.
