Visit Visa Refusal

[CStone]

REASONS FOR REFUSAL NRA v 1.0
You have applied for a visa to visit the UK.
In deciding whether you meet the requirements of Appendix V: of the Immigration Rules for visitors (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/immigration ... v-visitor- rules), I have considered:
• your application and any additional relevant information you have provided with it
• your immigration history
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-V4.6 of Appendix V because:
You state in your application that you intend to visit a family friend in the UK. I note that in your previously issued UK visa, you did not declare this family friend in the UK. Home Office records show that they were present in the UK at the time of your previous issued application. It is unclear why you failed to declare this relation in your application form. This damages your credibility as a visit applicant. Consequently, I am not satisfied that you will leave the UK at the end of the period stated by you, nor that you are genuinely seeking entry to stay for a purpose that is permitted under the visitor route.
In consideration of your family ties I note the statements made by you in your visa application and supporting information which indicate that your spouse and child will remain in your home country. Whilst I accept that familial ties to your home country is a positive indicator, given my significant concerns regarding your economic ties listed above, I am not satisfied that the presence of your spouse and child in your home country acts to sufficiently tip the balance of probabilities to satisfy me that you intend to depart the UK at the end of the period stated by you, nor that you seek entry for a purpose that is permitted under the visitor rules.
In assessing your entry clearance application, I have considered the documents and information provided against the requirements of Appendix V: Visitor as contained within the Immigration Rules, and have also taken into account the published visit guidance. The guidance indicates a number of factors which can help assess if an applicant is a genuine visitor, including but not limited to the following:
• their financial circumstances as well as their family, social and economic background
• their personal and economic ties to their country of residence
The concerns noted in the paragraphs above mean that I am not satisfied that you have accurately declared your personal and financial circumstances, which in turn means I am not satisfied on the balance of probabilities that you are a genuine visitor. I have made this decision taking into account other factors relevant to your application, however, I am not satisfied that any of these other factors outweigh the concerns noted above. Therefore, I am

not satisfied that you are genuinely seeking entry as a visitor and that you will leave the UK at the end of your visit. Your application is therefore refused under paragraphs V 4.2. (a) and (c) of Appendix V: Visitor as contained within the Immigration Rules.

Background the first application was refused on not sufficient information provided. On second application all the information was made available still not sure how they have brought up issues not applicable such as the previous grant of leave in 2017 which was mentioned in the application but have no contact info for the family member who was to accommodated them.

Anyway any views would be greatly appreciated

Strange pulling out that of the person in UK mot declared previously. What of you were not aware they were in UK or not in contact with them previously?
Made reference to economic ties to home country but didn't really say anything about your economic or financial ties/circumstances.
Can younstate your previous immigration history/visit visa to UK.?
IMHO, the ECO just reached for and grabbed straw for refusal.....
Learned members and MOD can correct and set aright

This is for a friend so I was to provide accommodation only in 2016-2017 an application for visit was made and the person who offered accommodation is related to the person currently ex husband. So was married at the time so I would never have come into the picture as a friend to visit or even where I was staying at the time. So they never made the trip even after the grant of visa work or personal reasons. Financial la have been provided with saving money set aside for trip £4000. Full time work for 15 years and also personal business started.
