UTIAC If an application for entry clearance is refused on the ground of forged documents in a previous application, the Entry Clearance Officer has the burden of proof. If there was (in relation to the previous application) no judicial determination of the issue, and no relevant admission, there will need to be evidence to establish that the documents used in the previous application were forged.
