Deception when seeking leave to enter or leave to remain.

Post by goodman27 » Thu Mar 22, 2012 10:39 pm

Hi guys, I have a question regarding section 2, question D22 in the tier 1 extension form. It asks if I have ever used deception when seeking leave to enter or leave to remain. While I have never did so there is a small incident that occured at the airport upon my return to UK 2 years ago. Please see below....

In 2010 upon my return from to UK I was asked a question at the UK airport which I misinterpreted. I do not recall the exact phrasing of the original question my the immigration officer but what he apparently meant was whether I had been denied visa before. What I thought I heard was whether I had outstayed my visa in the past.

I answered in the negative to the original question and this caused a slight delay as they referred to my being denied a visa in 2009 (refer to above).

However, after I did explain to them that I did not understand the original question and did testify that indeed I was denied the visa and was granted one soon thereafter. I asserted that I had no reason to hide the truth and that it was a simple case of misunderstanding.

Would this incident be considered relevant to state in this section of the application form?

I look forward to your advice.

Many thanks in advance.

Kind regards,
Good man :)

This is not an issue to be stated in the deception part. It was just a misunderstanding which was clarified by yourself so not to worry.

Further to shahjee11's post, an example of deception is whereby you use fake documents in seeking entry clearance, the objective being to deceive the ECO/IO. Yours cannot be classified as deception.
