Bourne007:
1) You both have valid travel passports so you good to apply for your visas. Once in UK, you will be issued a Residence permit card and you can always renew your passports at the naija embassy

2) Using your aunt's statement is a no no. If you have read previous comments about maintenance requirements, it clearly states that statements used must be in the main applicant's name or parents/legal guardian (with proof)

Cheers

I really appreciate your response. Thanks

Justwise thanks for the response, please what is the bank rate and any idea if banks are processing the payment cos the bank i used (first bank) keep saying they are not processing yet since this flexible rate was introduced, don't know if i should try another bank

justwise:

I don't know what the current bank rate is but going by https://www.oanda.com/currency/converter/ its £370 which is what the embassy uses.
If first bank is not processing then try other banks

Do you trust Nigerian baggage handlers, customs and officials enough to put this in your luggage?
Will it still be there when you arrive?

Have you checked import regulations for gold to the UK?

Thanks cuteempror,
I thought of that as well but a friend told me I can take part of the money because they will only verify the genuity of the bank statement but not the balance.

If I can hear from anyone that had done that and the visa was issued or denied, I would be more than happy because I want to pay for my IHS and application fee from the money.
Cheers

You will only get away with that if the embassy did not call your bank to ask for the last transaction in that account.

I think it happened to somebody here 2yrs ago or so where the embassy asked the person to resubmit current bank statement unfortunately the person has withdrew some of the money then.

If you can avoid touching that money until your visa comes out AND the Ukba specifically stated that the money should be available to you in the UK, so its not just the 28days.

Like cuteemperor said its risky, but the choice is yours.

Good luck.

Eniakii:
Thanks @ olowoB and justwise

you guys are wonderful withloads of info on this visa thing. I get the details and hope that God guide me in my decision. If I have my way I wouldn't want to touch the money ooooo.

Otherwise, I might but with lots of prayer and fasting. lol, naija thinking
