how deception affects my visa application this year.

[dafeizi]

Hi everyone, I visited this website yesterday and found lots of useful information. So I now post my visa issue and hope there will be someone who can answer my questions and give useful suggestions.

My situation is: I went to the UK in 2007 for study. I didn't complete a psotgraduate course in the UK in 2008, however the school issued me a PG certificate. And by the end of 2008, I used this certificate to apply for PSW visa (residence permit, which means I applied for the PSW as visa extension) and the visa was granted. I voluntarily left the UK in Nov 2009. When I came back to the UK in Dec 2009, I was refused to enter the border because immigration officers didn't recognize my PG certificate and issues a letter saying I used deception in my PSW application.

Since I have been working in China for an UK company through 2010, and I kept in touch with my UK office everyday. I got enough qualifications and income to apply for Tier 1 General by the end of 2010.

Thus, I now got the following questions:

1. How long is the Ban on my application due to my previous deception. is it 1 year or 5 year or even 10 years? I used the PG certificate in my visa extension for PSW visa, and I left UK voluntarily, so it seems like I am only subject to one year's ban?

2. If I am subject to one year's ban, when can I apply for my new visa? Nov 2010 (I left the UK voluntarily in Nov 2009), or Dec 2010 (I was refused entry in Dec 2009).

3. Since I have obtained every qualification for Tier 1 General application,
Beside necessary documents used to apply for the new visa, how would deception affect my Tier 1 application in futher??

4. what other documents would be useful for my Tier 1 application in future? like the letter from my UK boss, files about my work for the UK company thru this year, etc.

Since I wanna apply for the new visa soon if the situation is positive, your useful information will be of great help.

Thanks a lot !!

Since you used deception and was refused entry, you will be looking at a ten year ban

[avjones]

I agree, 10 years.

dafeizi got deception on previous PSW visa, But why 10 years,beacuse he left uk voluntarily,

1 year ban on voluntarily with out public fund
5 years ban on voluntarily with public fund
10 year ban removal/deception.

I think Exemption on spouse visa 320(7b) etc IF not

SO IT means home office jokeing 1 year, 5 year,

I think Immigration law have to of truth and hidden truth, those only solicitor knows....
thanks

The key is this line:

(ii) used Deception in an application for entry clearance more than 10 years ago;

Because he's been found to use deception - it's a 10 year ban.

Doesn't the 10 year ban refer only to deception used in applications for entry clearance though? My understanding (and I stand to be corrected) is that if the person uses deception in an application for entry clearance he will be banned for 10 years. If he uses deception in an application for leave to remain then it depends on how he left the UK (voluntarily / at own cost/at public expense/or involuntarily.)

Perhaps i misunderstood the original post but i understood that the op was granted his psw from within the UK. He then left the UK for a month and returned only to be refused entry at the border becuse his deception had been discovered. He wasn't refused leave to enter his leave to remain was curtailed.
dafiezi can you clarify-

Were you asked to leave in Nov 09 or did you just go for a trip and then get refused entry upon return?
