Hi bro, please like how much is the balance on your account statement when you applied?

dohyn:


A little over a million. My salary is paid into my account and I built it up gradually over the years.I'm sponsoring myself though the person I'll stay with also sent his bank balance to me.

uniquelady99:

I really don't know, it should work both during working and non working hours. has it been long she had her biometrics? cross check if her GWF reference number is correct, if it doesn't work again and you are really eager to know her application status, you can go to their embassy and ask them, they will be able to tell you the status of her application.

Thanks guys I got my visa. Went to the collection centre at Churchgate and entered at 10am. Picked up my passport.

These guys are scammers though, only because I was rushing to leave, would have asked them the services I paid for, the SMS and email updates, got nothing and yet I paid.

Good afternoon Justwise, Ekpotek and all other gurus in the house. I have a friend we met in Wolverhampton when I was a student. She remained in the UK as Tier 2 general visa holder after our graduation. She came back to Nigeria few days before his visa expired. She is working in Nigeria but just got a charity job in the UK. Her fear now is this : She concerned wheather her visa application for charity job in the UK will be refused because she was once a tier 2 visa holder with salaried job and charity is a voluneering job role with little or no pay. Please advise.

I don't think she will resign her job because she is just going for a year. She is going as an evangelist to work for a church. She is just concerned wheather her visa will be granted. Her sponsor is A- rated

justwise:


They have made a decision on her application and send it back to Nigeria and your wife will be contacted to collect her package within 10 working days.

justwise:


1.Yes

2. You will take all the documents to visa centre on your appointment day to be scanned and the original will be given back to you, apparently they have stopped online document uploading.

3. There is nothing wrong with stating all that.

4. He has to do the budget to know how much the trip will cost then that will give him an idea of how much he needs to have for the trip. There is no specific amount without calculating the cost of the trip first.

Yes you can use joined account supported by documents to proof the source of your income...salary account and payslips(6months each) or business account with current/savings account, business registration papers and tax certificate.

You did not submit enough evidence to convince the ECO that your marriage is genuine, you claimed that he visited you in Nigeria 5times but you only submitted one boarding pass, what happened to the rest?

4 wedding pictures alone is far too little, did you not take pictures during those visit to Nigeria?

Your chat history you submitted again is not convincing, for a relationship that lasted for 3yrs you should have pages and pages of chat/calls history.

graceode:
Good morning Justwise. Please respond. She want to know if thd visa will be granted considering thd fact that she once worked on a salaried job in the UK. She said her employer here is ready to give her a year leave because the owner of the company is her cousin. Thanks.

drgodson:



Thanks a lot justwise. I really do appreciate.

Retrieving a chat history of 2014 is a big challenge atm, be it on BBM or whatsapp and same for call logs, this is primarily due to misplaced, spoilt or lost phones, moreso 3yrs is a long time.
what would you suggest we do in this case? We are thinking of writing a cover letter to explain this.
Again, would you advise we wait a month or 2 before reapplying as we don't want to appear too desperate.
Will EEA family permit benefit from a Priority service?
From your wealth of experience, how many pictures can u suggest cuz i'v got over a 100?
Asides boarding passes, we've decided to add immigration stamps (on arrival and exit from Nigeria) + e-ticket.

Your prompt response would be highly appreciated.

justwise:


You don't copy chat history and paste on word document then print ,that will not accepted by the embassy, you use an app to download the chat history then print it. That will contain details like time, date and year the chat took place.

Yes you can explain that in a cover letter but make an effort first to downloadn chat history.

You can reapply any time you have those documents ready you don't have to wait days or weeks.

You have over 100 pictures but you submitted only 4? Hmmm, well select pictures from each visit to Nigeria, wedding/ traditional pictures with family, friends and personal ones. 10 to 15 pictures will do

ori777:

If the travel date is close, I will advise you go to the high commission on Walter Carrington with your slip before 12pm to retrieve the passport. A few people have said their passports were not at the VAC for pick up after the 10 days and we're able to retrieve from the high commission.
