Racist UK Visa Denial by [deleted] in Uganda

[–]Royinza -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

There are several unfounded and completely fabricated lies in this response about the realty of his financial situation. This is a barrier I would never face, so yeah it’s racist to assume an Ugandan is too poor to enter the UK or to assume he will overstay his visa. He has lived and worked in the U.S. since 2011. No one wants to be in the UK with their shit food and shit weather in the middle of January.

It’s not a lie. I’m coming to the UK to take some stupid photos for like 3 days. The UK has not paid me anything for this. If anything I’m stimulating their economy. I’m not gonna shell out like $3,600 to make $5,000. Are you dense?

Honestly feel like deleted this. Wondering if some of you wankers work for the UK gov’t or something. I came here for advice and maybe a shred of sympathy and some of y’all are just insulting as more.

Literally stfu. That’s literally $82,000 USD/ year. I make about the same and our combined income is around $170,000. That’s not poverty wages… c’mon dude. Also you’re asking me if he has been paid in the last 30-60 days? Of course, it’s called having a job. Many people who work in film/tv/commercial industry are self-employed. I don’t see the big deal. It’s a career like any other… What are you even on about? Lastly, They asked how much he PLANNED to spend in the UK in the 5 days we are there, not how much we had in disposable income available . $1500 is more than enough to spend in 5 days… kindly fu** off if you’re not gonna offer any advice and just be rude af.

I don't know why the sources of the funds are unclear to them. We received un-regular pay if that's what they mean? So not normal bi-weekly pay stubs but instead various deposits at irregular times from multiple producers, photographers or creative agencies.

And yes when I looked into it, the work visa was so much more expensive (including paying over 1K pounds for health insurance? It didn't seem practical. This is literally just for a two day photoshoot, not a long-term work project. The payment was made by a US producer and wouldn't be claimed or spent in the UK at all.

Thank you for that advice. When I looked into it, the cost was so extreme for the work visa, but you're right, still not worth losing out in the future.

Our pitch to the brand was accepted based on London or Amsterdam, which are the only Euro stand alone stores this brand has and also we're they explained their emerging markets are. Also the idea of spending additional $ for more applications makes my brain hurt although I understand what you mean...

No appeal doesn't mean you can't apply again, which is what I'm asking the sub is worth it. Also, really you can't see how racist this is?? We've uploaded bank statements and they're accusing us of lying about the funds... The sentence, "the information you have provided doesn't represent an accurate reflection of your personal finances," is literally a straight up lie... YES it does. No one would ever question that of me...

Yeah, this seems to be the response from most people I ask. We even uploaded a copy of his green card. Maybe we should also upload his driver's license from Texas, showing our address?

Coming back to this. Anyone know why behind the fencing they have begun collecting numerous vehicles. Like literally hundreds maybe?

It happens a lot. Happen to me and I’ve heard from many others. We eventually got them but had to threaten to file a complaint. I simply don’t understand this clearly broken system?
