I appreciate this will not be given a lot of credence and I understand why, but Lauaki has had his visa application rejected. It is not a problem with him as such but his application was not up to standard and he has not therefor attained the number of points required. These applications, in which I include Crockers, are being turned down because the paperwork is not being submitted correctly - end of.

Welcome to two weeks ago.

Crockers was not turned down because of the paperwork submitted and im sure we will find that out in the near future when he gets the full reason in the mail.

It hasnt been rejected has it?

Can you show up proof of this?

With 1 post i would take everything he says with a pinch of salt.

Initial application turned down due to being filled in incorrectly by his agent, apparantly.

If is my understanding that if Crocker had submitted his application with all the correct paperwork in the required order he would have attained the points required and his application would have been granted. As I say it is only my understanding.

This is partially correct, a form that should have been submitted to give him the required amount of points wasn't, hence rejection.

Your understanding is wrong

no news as of yet

ive heard somewhere that he had to submit a form to prove that he was english speaking

or was that in one of my elaborate dreams

I am more than willing to accept I might be, but I am still of the belief that if the paperwork had been submitted more proffessionally it would have stood a greater chance of being accepted.

Give that man a cigar.

For Crocker's second application, the club employed legal advisors and included character references from a wide variety of sources. Perhaps you could enlighten us as to the specific administrative shortcomings.

Hutchie has almost 40,000 posts yet no one still takes any notice of him.

I wasn't involved

Where do people get this from?

His initially application was rejected on the grounds of his conviction for affray. Nothing to do with paperwork.

Given that he registered just to post this information, you could be forgiven for assuming that it's simple trouble stirring.

Thought this thread was about Hame?

Testicles.

Another on post wonder, Hame's application was not turned down however he was asked for additional information as the form that indicates that he is English speaking was not initially included by his agent in the application ! That has now been included and with no criminal record we should, I feel, be confident of him coming!

Amen to that!

Can't see how that is - it's all on the same form as the other information
