I wanna give it a try, and I get refused on that bases then I can work on it than not doing anything
I but I think fixed deposit account should be acceptable by home office,since it's on my name.

I will not tell you not to apply but one thing is sure, if you are not earning at least 18000 a year then financially you don't qualify for spouse visa, money from family members or friends does not count.

Good luck.

The maximum amount of time you can spend in uk is 6months per trip,you can spend lesser time though

Sorry, I need to get one other thing clear (Don't mind my too many questions, I've never left Nigeria before ), I read that I have to submit the original of my International Passport, does it mean I have to send the passport to them whole (Like the whole green book?) or what? I thought you are never to give it out?
Secondly, in the application, they lay so much emphasis on Spouse and common law union, and people here on Nairaland are always talking about Spouse too, does my being single (not having a spouse) have any negative effect on my Visa Application? just asking... Thank you for your response.

If you don't give them your original passport, what then would they issue the visa into?
Whoever meets the requirement (whether married or single) would be approved of the visa

Hello house, I have one quick question.
I want to invite a friend to come over for a short visit, do I need to give original payslip or copies printed off the internet is sufficient because getting original payslip from the HR dept will be a nightmare as they are useless and one of the slowest in the world. I will however add original bank statement to the invitation document.

Vicjustice: It is boring to hear people asking "what documents" that are required for this or for that visa, and i see that no matter how many individuals that are answered, there will continue to be many others who will ask the same question over and over and over again. It doesn't make much of a sense to ask this same question or to keep on answering it to everyone who asked it, so, i have decided to create this narrative list to answer the question conclusively.
Here are the documents that are required of visa applicants of every category.
This article is subject to modification and updates:

* Invitation letter or accommodation details from the country you intend to visit;
*(If on invitation by an individual,) a copy of the bio-data page of the passport of the person inviting you.
* Your national passport or travel document with at least 6 months to expiration;
* (If you are an alien resident in the country that you are applying from,) evidence of permission to remain in the country: ie, a residence permit or an appropriate long-term visa;
* Passport sized colour photographs, not more than 6 months old;
* (If employed,) a letter from your employer granting leave of absence from your job for a specified period. The letter should also say how long you have been employed by that employer, in what job(s) and should indicate when you are expected back at work;
* (If self-employed,) evidence of your business activities and financial standing;
* (If self employed or if applicable to you as an employee,) your tax clearance certificate to show your tax compliance level and also your income;
* (If a student,) a letter from your school stating what course you are on, its start and finish dates and the dates of the holiday period during which you intend to travel abroad;
Note: if you are not working you should include financial documents of the person who is supporting you; if someone else is paying for your trip, You would be expected to explain why you are being sponsored and to demonstrate how your sponsor will benefit from your trip.
* (If applicable,) evidence of any property you own in your home country (if applicable)
Note: the property is expected to represent anything that could be considered a tie; such property may not be an isolated land or building that are not deemed to be taking more of your responsibilities: it is different if you own (let's say) business property that requires your obligatory management;
* Details of any firm travel plans you have made, ie itinerary:
Warning! Do not book a flight because, you will forfeit your money if your visa is refused. Itinerary does not only mean flight ticket, it means travel plans which are, the preparations that you have put in place: such could be site seeing or tour guide arrangements;
* Bank statements showing up to six months transaction details, must show sources of income:
Warning! Avoid Money Lodgement, you will be refused without question.
* (If applicable,) evidence of any income from other sources e.g. friends, family, savings, property etc
* (If applicable and/or if the purpose of the trip has got something to do with family,) Evidence of family relationship and marital status ie Birth Certificate and/or Marriage or Civil Partnership Certificate, divorce certificate, death certificate (of spouse)
*(If applying to join a spouse,) Evidence of relationship and communications or correspondences with your spouse: ie telephone details; emails; posts or/and photos of both of you together.
* (If applying to join a spouse or family,) Birth certificate or Age Declaration document
* It is very important to be able to show Ties or Obligations to return to.
Note: Although, family or social ties and responsibilities are recommended, but logically, family ties aren't considered as strong as other ties because, there are vast cases of seekers involving in immigration fights to bring their family to join them, but yet, the magnitude of the family may be considered
* (If an ex-convict) The official record of any conviction(s), detailing the crime(s) you were convicted of and the sentence(s) you received
* The appropriate fee and 1 million dollars for Vicjustice
Note: You must provide original documents. Failure to submit original documents may mean your application is delayed or refused.
HARD DOCUMENTS are documents that carry Security Authentications; or Stamps; or Seals; or Signatures; or Apostiles, etc: (For example; a Marriage Certificate), such documents must be submitted in their original states. Any other document that does not carry any of the mentioned authentication is allowed to be submitted in photocopy state: Your hard documents will be returned back to you in due time.

Did you even read the post that you qouted?

I need a real candid advice cos a whole lot about this visit visa issue seems confusing a bit to me. First am a newbie still trying to get more knowledge in this. I was recently signed up with an upcoming record label in Kentucky USA, not as an artiste but as a promoter / street member in Nigeria, my cousin (white guy) is the star artiste in the label, recently we got into talks and they want me to come over to the states, my cousin is ready to provide an invitation letter and all the accommodation details I'll need for the embassy but the real deal is I aint going for just a visit, I am going over to be stay, I thought about the label getting me a H1B visa but they are still in the registration process with the US government. Please I want to know if its advisable to use the Visit visa for entry first as I intend to work in the states upon arrival and can I upon entry find a way to workout staying beyond the 3months stay period without immigration issues? I have pictures of me and my cousin when he came to Nigeria, I don't want to risk rejection, so I want to be guided properly and I forgot to mention, I just graduated, I have served my NYSC and I have houses here with tenants living in them which I manage on behalf of my father. Do I stand a chance of been accepted for a visit and if so how do I go about the process, sorry if am taking u back, I just need clarifications.

I am curiously just trying to figure out how biologically possible it is for a black Nigerian man to have a "white guy" as a cousin... Anyway, to be honest, it doesn't matter whether your cousin is a white guy, immigration rules are not respecter of any race.
It is not normally possible to extend or convert a short term tourist visa into a long term visa or any other form of immigration entitlement, or residence permit; except you do something drastic or illegal, or you experienced a compelling circumstance beyond your control that would deem it necessary for you to stay in the USA: such circumstance may be on health or safety ground.

Sounds ridiculous though but if so what are the illegal termed things people do just to retain their visa aside from marrying a whitey which is also legal. Abi are they any others I know not of? And secondly what kind of visa will I require from my narration above.

Sham marriages and marriages of convenience are illegal, also, impersonation or faking identity, or credentials are all illegal: though, I can understand if someone does any of these to survive

Family Visit Visa is not categorised for those travelling with family, but for those travelling to visit their family (members) already in the country: but the persons that you intend to visit is your "friend", so you are not qualified for that category.
