WHY SHOULD I APPEAL AGAINST AN ECO's DECISION

"UK visas and the BDHC provides information to visa applicant about the types of documents they will be required to produce so that they can demonstrate to the visa officer that they meet the requirements of the Immigration Rules."This is the statement they make in the refusal letters.You now say to yourself,what could be the cause of my denial since i met the requirements?
Should i Re-apply or Appeal?

Professionally,it's not all refusal you should appeal,there are some that all you need do is to make amend and look out for the points the ECO gave and see if you could amend.But the truth is that do they really verify as claimed.If you re-apply,what is the assurance that they'll grant the visa,i think one need to put some nasty words into their brain so that they'll believe you know your right.

The general believe is that appeal takes time,so it's better to re-apply.I wonder when nigerians would stop fooling themselves and wake from their dreams.Let me give you some of the unreasonable reasons they give atimes
1: telling a child there's no link between the child and the sponsor which is the father after submitting birth certificate.
2: imagine an ECO telling you you forged your own bank statement,that it was compared to a known genuine sample by the british forgery team.
3: an ECO telling a magistrate that she forged her Olevel result[so absurd]
4: an ECO telling you how to spend your own money that you worked for.i find it unrealistic for you wanting to spend a 2months salary on 2weeks trip,isn't that intrusion.
5: imagine an ECO telling you that you did not plan for the trip.Maybe you ought to have written the ECO 2months before applying.

Inconclusion,it shows they are not competent with their work.I believe an appeal gives you the right to express yourself.

UK STUDENT VISA

VISA APPLICATION FORM

~ Make sure to fill out your form carefully and precisely. Do not forget to sign it. The visa officer will, in many cases, make a decision based solely on your application form and supporting documents.
Officers repeatedly stress that an incomplete or incorrect application may result in an unfavourable outcome.
~ Remember to include your contact details on the form, especially an e-mail address if you have one (if you don't, we suggest you create one to facilitate e-mail communication).
Supporting documents
~ Start putting your supporting documents together in advance. Do not submit your application until you have collected all the documents required.
~ Make sure your documents are originals or attested copies.~ There is no fixed checklist for the documents needed, as each student's circumstances are different. The common factor is that students need to show as much credible evidence as they can of their individual circumstances. Your supporting documents must relate to your education, your family's financial situation, any assets you own and your sponsor
