I asked that question so as not to give you misleading answer.

The 28days rule means that you can submit your application 28days before the completion of your 5yrs.

If you decided to apply at the completion of your 5yrs no problem, you don't have to use the 28days rule thing.

Thank you Justwise and Ekpotek for explaining to me in a way I can understand.
I truly appreciate you guys and it is well understood now.
Thank you guys once again.

Please what is the means of payment of your visa fee ?



Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by Adumii: 8:15am On Mar 17, 2018
ekpotek:


The applicant should submit both business and personal bank statements in addition to what you have listed. The application should focus more on the reason for her visit to be successful. So you will need to show the ECO why you need her to be in the UK at that time. I will suggest you include doctors report, pre natal visits, etc.

Many thanks ekptec for your response. Documentation from me to evidence purpose of visit is in hand.

My issue is around my sisters proof of finances. Like previously stated she doesn’t have a decent balance on her personal “savings” account . Money she pays in there gets spent immediately and she really can’t build it up as I need the application sent in by May.
This is why I ask if I should just leave out the savings account from the application doc list and submit only the business account since I am the one sponsoring ?

Also, I understand schools pay flat tax fee. Which makes it difficult to calculate monthly income. Any suggestion on how I can go about this? Also bearing in mind that school fees aren’t paid monthly.

Thirdly the section of the form that asks how much the trip will cost her personally, will it hurt to put £0 there since I am fullly covering all bills and will be stating it on my letter?

Thank you

reduce the cost of your accommodation as in use the filter on the site to check for a low budget ones. I think the one you saw is a 8-10 star budget so look for a 3-5 star hotel it will be cheaper.

yes you can use a (dummy) hotel reservation and dummy flight reservation for your tourist visa application.

try hrs.com, booking.com travellodgeinn for the hotel booking and don't forget to search for a low budget hotel.

Hello Nairalanders, in filling the VAF, can I attach a cover letter after filling in the additional information page to its maximum, or should I just state in the additional info page to refer to cover letter?

Please help out

Sure if you can afford the application fee. There is no rule that say you must apply for 5 years after 2 years visa.

Most tourists prefer budget accommodation such as hostel or Airbnb. So there is no problem if you book one. However, look for those that offer free cancelation or payment on arrival. Never pay for a booking until you’re have gotten a visa.

She can always use additional paper or cover letter to explain any issues with the application form. This will include how she runs her business and salary account and her inability to compute monthly earning etc. As per how much the trip will cost her? I suggest that you include some amount, such as money for shopping, movies, etc. I am sure you’ll not be footing that aspect.

If is too high for your budget then is advisable you remain in Nig and have the cash in your savings.
The cheapest accomodation of 2weeks you can get that will be acceptable for granting you Visa is #200000.
Is only who are here in UK that can find a way of getting single room of £300 a month.

Not necessarily a cover letter but a budget-like outline of the cost of the trip

You have to state your average monthly income and support it with paper documents then use the blank space in the form to explain the nature of your income.

RE VISA REFUSAL.


Good day evening body in the House, can anybody advise and translate my refusal letter for me please. I want to confirm whether I was Banned. Please find the attached for your advise please.

hello,
this is what paragraph 320(b) says:
1.8 RFL5.8 320(7B) and the use of false representations, information and documents
If an applicant has previously been refused entry clearance because a false document was used or a false representation was made, the applicant may claim that they were unaware that the document or representation was false.

Unless the applicant can prove this, they must be automatically refused under paragraph 320(7B) for 10 years from the date deception was used (unless paragraph A320 applies). Where the documents relate directly to the applicant (for example, employment references, qualifications or financial details), such a claim would be likely to fail unless the applicant has clear evidence that an error has been made (for example, written confirmation from a financial institution that they had previously supplied us with incorrect information).

I hope this helps.
