VISA ISSUE DATE --- 20/05/16

Hello, pls what centre did u use? VI or Ikeja?

Solatium:
yeah i understand perfectly well, but as at the last check i know there is a minimum account balance that must be presented to press home your case that you can afford the trip, i.e your flight tickets,your personal spending money and shopping expenses and still be able to have something substantial in your account to live on once you are back from your trip...just wanna have an idea of how much was the least anyone had in their account and yet secured a visa..

Please may I know where you read that from? That is new to me.

Thanks.
She wrote a detailed to them explaining and told them they errored her application. and she mentioned she never mis represented herself.

I hope they send their Official to CAC to confirm. and I hope CAC won't give them attitide. It's been a very long 2 months and Hopefully, she gets to visit us next month.

Thanks Tunde

My opinion is keep calm and dont rush in making any decisions.....
You should definitely put in a strong case.... Yes it is about money for them....since in a week thousands of applications are put in by nigerians.

ECO are bound to make mistakes.... but dont make wrong decisions... When applying again make sure your mom writes a personal letter explaining what happened to her ... she should not get too carried away with emotions but she should make them realize there mistakes ; i believe the lawyer should know what to write up.

Good luck and will keep u in my prayers..

Thanks, Our documents are 100% genuine.
It's a shame. I wish I knew where the error came from.

askari01:


Phardey... you have done the needful, Let your mum reapply as you have said she's going for her appointment today. Be informed that the BDHC would do all verifications... They might even send delegates to the CAC headquaters for clarification, so If your documents are genuine, Congratulation and if Not, it's gonna be very bad. I wish ur mum good luck!!!.

Hi Great people on this platform, i must commend you guys for the wonderful jobs you're doing here. To me this forum is more than what it's because it's an institution as i have learnt a lot over time here. Now my story....

I am married with 2 kids.

i visited UK in 2012 (still single then)

Had my masters degree between 2014-2015 in UK (traveled with my family as dependant, my second child was born in UK).

I have a good traveling history, been to some eUROPEAN countries and Asia.

Before 2012, i have been getting my financial support from my own properties and the ones given to me by my parents, that was reason why i studied Master's degree in Real Estate management and investment to be able to manage those real estate and even invest more. After i had my Msc in oct 2015, i registered a property management and investment firm, my CAC CERT was issued in Nov.2015. But prior to this date all transactions goes into my savings account.

I have 3 accounts 2 of which are savings with huge sum, i have re-invested the money in one (A) of them into new Housing Projects btw Dec-March 2016.

During the project time,i do transfer from my savings (2 of them A & B) to my current ACC before spending them, (90% of deposit in my current account came from either saving acc A or B). i'm used to this because i do not like visiting the bank 10 times a day and from my current account i can easily use the mobile banking app.I do write purpose of transaction on almost all transactions i made on my current account and those details are showing on my statement of account,(I have about 60 pages of acc statement between dec-may). e.g Money for welding materials to be supplied to ***** project site #200,000.

One the savings account is empty, the other (B) has some funds and a Term deposit of about #**,***,** which matures every 90 days and got re invested as fixed deposit. (It's shown clearly on all pages of bank statements).

In Feb However, my company's acc was ready and i started it with transfer from my savings, and since then i have been using it for rent collections,property purchase,both for myself and clients. I have issued receipts for all sales & rental collections both the ones paid to my company's acc, and the ones paid to my savings acc (B) My condition;

I am have not been paying myself salary but i do transfer from company's account to my current and sometimes current to savings( sometimes 3 times a week cos as an estate surveyor i do get commission on any sales/purchase for clients).

I still have the fix deposit in my savings (B)

I m going for a 3days conference organized by RICS (Royal institution of chartered surveyor) in september this yr.

My Questions;

when is the best time to apply?
what documents do you think would be sufficient?
Do i go for 2yrs visa or 6 months?
Which tax is applicable to my situation?
Any other suggestions?

Thanks and sorry for the long story

Good day!!! @Justwise pls help me wif dis God bless! i applied for 2 weeks family visiting visa during my school holiday in august but was bn refused on dis terms
1. sponsor did not satisfy on my own intension to leave uk on completion of my to weeks visit.
2. its is not stated when my course in d university finishes.. evidence of financial support during my studies.
3.its is unclear how you manage to meet your monthly cost in nigeria.. i have no family ties in nigeria.

YOU must read and understand the very clear reasons given for rejection.
You must put these things right before applying again.

You must improve your ties to prove that you will return home after the visit.
You must show that you have sufficient funds and where they came from.

I'm not sure I clearly understood the reasons for the refusal..maybe you did not summarise it well.

1. July is not a bad time to apply.

2. Your business registration documents, property documents, business, savings and current account documents, marriage certificate and family pictures.

3. You can go for 2 years if you are frequent traveler to the UK or planned on doing so.

4. All the taxes you pay on your income

Thanks, so much, if i must submit property documents....like how many would be sufficient?
which tax should i go for? corporate tax? or personal income tax? Because my current account bears all construction projects transfers before i got the company acc and even after then?

tomatter12:
@ justwise dis is a copy of it.. i hope u understand better.. thanks sir!

You simply don't have any tie to Nigeria.

If you want to reapply next year then consider submitting documents from your school, course details and progress report and how pays your fees and other upkeeps in Nigeria

1.As many as you can confidently support with paper evidence

2. Both but importantly corporate one.

The more useful documents you submit the better.

Who sponsors you for the study?

Stay positive....
They do make mistakes that i can certainly tell u ...
They will send an official to CAC if need be.... but if i have to be honest they will not because it is getting to a busy period for them... most times they compare documents, or check the websites and if need they call if they have to.... Only send officials if the application is complicated... I just hope one day nigeria will get to the point where documents can be verified online or numbers can be verified online; it will make the document geninue. I recently tried checking something on NAFDAC website and it failed to verify the product; so it is naija for u ...
anyways, God in is infinite mercy will grant your heart desires... stay positive and have faith...
