How about me that have been to the Uk 5 times on a visit visa (with husband & kids) and 1year study visa. During those visits I always stay beyond the duration I normally state during my application, but never overstayed the duration of the visa itself, I have also renewed in the past & got new visas despite this, I just applied for a renewal on June 20. I hope my chances of getting it are high?
Please guys, kindly share your thoughts...

Each aplicant and application is decided based on its own merit. The fact that the ECO did not take into account your staying beyong your intended stay will depend on the number of extra days spent and if it is significant enough to be considered as abused of visa term. However, this does not means that everyone will be lucky like you. Beside your immigration and travel history and family ties seems okay for the ECO to overlook this abuse. My advise is that applicants should adhere to the term of their visa approval on their first visit.

I think Ekpotek meant that you should stay within the number of days you state in your Visa application.

ekpotek:


2million is okay. What documents are you submitting?

ekpotek:


I know there is a specific question that ask about the where about of previous passports. If you have entered stolen. Then you do not need to worry about it.

nairacountry:


Yeah. But what of long term multiple visas like 2 years multiple entry visas with [/b]duration of stay 180Days?[b].

Whereas you can't state more than one visit while applying.

McGibson:




I didn't see such. it was not provided.

Annbabie:
My husband payslip, employment letter, marriage certificate, birth certificate of our daughter, bank statement, invitation letter

I don't know how to help. If read back, many have similar complain on payment issues. Some got the solution by using a foreign card to pay. Some where lucky paying with paga. Still others commented that using the old online application portal will accept Naira cards. Just read backward and try all the solutions offered.

I have two accounts with my bank; a current acct for my salary and a savings acct. I applied for a six months statement for both, but the bank made a mistake by printing one month statement for my current acct.

hope this wont be a problem... also do I fill the checklist now

Thanks for all your help

ekpotek:


Husband payslip - Irrelevant
Husband employment letter - Irrelevant
Marriage certificate - Relevant
Birth certificate - Relevant
Bank statement of husband- Relevant
Invitation letter - Relevant

In addition to the relevant documents you will need the following
Your bank statement if you have one
Utility billl of inviting person
Passport data page of inviting person
Photos, etc to proof relationship to inviting person.
The irrelevant documents are not needed unless your husband is also an applicant.

I once applied for a 2 year visa in August. Stating i will travel in September. I got the visa, but did not travel in September. I went to the UK twice the next year. Each visit a weeks duration. At the expiration of that 2 year visa. I applied for visa again and was given. The main thing is do not violate visa rules. E.g recourse to work,staying 180 days when u claimed u had a job when u were applying. Someone that has a job cannot stay 180 days in the UK.

Ekpotek, pls how much can I put for expenses for 6 days?

@ Justwise, Ekpotek and gurus in the house, please I need your advice on the consequences of withdrawal of my tier 4 application.

I applied for my visa application on 18th April 2017 and did my biometrics same day. I had my interview on 20th April 2017.
On 8th May, I got a mail from UKVI that my application wasn't straightforward.
On 19th June home office gave me an impromptu call for another phone interview and interviewed me that same day
On 20th June, home office called me again but I missed their call and they have not called again.
STILL NO DECISION YET
I have tracked my application and decision have not been made even as i am typing this message.
My school enrollment date have passed and from the look of things I have already missed out this June take.
My school have told me to withdraw the application and re apply with the new CAS for September they will be proving me with.
I think I have no option than to withdraw the visa application with the view that the time purpose for the application have passed (which is my enrollment day for studies) and then look forward for September intake.

Including local transport fare and meals. You cannot spend more 60 pounds per day. So for 6 days will amount to 360 pounds.

ekpotek:


If your school had advise this. Go ahead and withdraw the application, however, I don't know if your application fee will be refunded after biometric.

Emexnairaland:
My application has been decided on Thursday 29th June, so I can't withdraw it again. Am just worried about the possibility of getting the visa after school last enrollment date elapsed on 26th June
