Visa application granted under false pretences

Who would you contact if you knew that someone had been granted a visit visa to the UK by submitting fraudulent documents with their application?

ps) I'm asking this on behalf of someone else and the circumstances behind the query are quite complex and sensitive.

If I felt strongly enough about it, I'd write to the Entry Clearance Manager at the post that issued the visa. Contact details here, on the Foreign Office website, with a copy to
UKvisas
Foreign and Commonwealth Office
King Charles Street
London

Note that for such allegations (as they are at this stage) to be substantiated you would have to understandably be prepared for your details to be divulged raising the prospects of libel/slander were it be the case you were actually wrong.

Thanks for the info, will pass the details on

I have read that IND Customer Focus Team (formerly INDCU) can deal with this but they are there for in-country affairs, i.e. if that person is already in the country.

Good point from Kayalami, as always. If you just report someone like this, it will probably fall on deaf ears - you have to submit some substantial evidence on this and pester them with letters and calls, kill plenty of your own time before your request is taken seriously. If out of country, UK Visas are a bit more organised so perhaps it won't take that long........ but ask yourself first - what benefit will you get for yourself? Will you get a Reward?!

I don't think it is necessary to pester them at all. If one considers something to be worth reporting, surely one reports it, then moves on, having done so?

Pestering could well cast doubts on in the informant's motives which could in turn bring into question the genuineness of the report.

George Orwell, 1984, do you really want to be part of that?

Another point to note. I guess even the foregn post office might not like to admit its mistake ( if that is case) so easily. As will show of its failure of properly doing work .
In office culture every one helps everyone. I remember one bbc panaroma program on scotish case where fingure print reports of many criminal cases are wrong declared as matching. But no body in the police admit it for long time & people have spend long time in prison

So be perpare for all situations.
