• UK Visa rejection reasons due to non-disclosure
  of previous immigration history
• 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 Of ce misses nothing and
  questions everything.
• Worse still, if they believe an applicant has
  attempted to mislead or misrepresent themselves
  intentionally (deception), especially for a
  settlement application, considering the ILR
  refusal rate, it can get problematic.
• UK Visa rejection reasons due to failure to meet
  nancial requirements
• Another common reason for UK Visa Refusal is
  failure to meet the nancial requirements. Every
  visa application under the points-based system
  has a certain nancial requirement to be met by
  applicants to be eligible for their application.

  torn, etc.

  your application. Every visa application
  requires supporting documents to prove you can
  meet the requirements. Hence, it is important to
  ensure that you have added documents speci c to
  your facts and not rely on hearsay or what
  somebody else may have added in their respective
  application to get a favourable outcome.
• UK Visa rejection reasons due to insuf cient
  evidence of relationship
• If you are trying to apply for a Spouse Visa or
  any Dependant Visa, the most common reason for
  refusal is insuf cient evidence provided to meet
  the relationship requirement. You need to prove
  that your
