Hello people, kindly critique my application.
Planning a personal vacation without the family for my birthday week. Marking a milestone anyway. Will spend my birthday here with my family and travel next day for 7days.
1. Budget is about 700k total (hostel + breakfast 103, London pass with oyster card for 6days 199, flight 250k, living expenses etc. 150k)
2. Employed with salary of 390k excluding allowances paid 3ce a year. Tbills & fixed deposits of abt 3m. Stated regular monthly spend is abt 200k considering wife and 2kids. Salary Acct balance should be abt 800k when submitting application.
3. Ties: married with kids, employed + letter from employer, own house
4. Had previous US refusal in 2017 summer and later travelled to SA instead with the family. Also had UK refusal in January 2018 for travel with family during Easter. Refusal says inconsistent credits & swing in my acct went as low a N300 2months to application cos I moved all funds at that time to term deposit since I was expecting some others wt which I applied; even though evidence was provided. I have learnt from this and no other funds has entered my salary acct nor swing gone below 400k December till date.
5. Recently returned from a 5 day travel to SA 2weeks ago.

Kindly advise.

Your payments are a bit complicated and you need to attach an explanatory cover note on your commission in your 1st job and also 2nd job with lot of prove.

I asked you some questions, I expect u to answer the questions directly step by step how I asked it to enable me understand your answers.

From the look of things, I am not seeing an accurate details of your job. What I can understand in all is that in your 1st job u are paid 10% commission which is 70k monthly excluding expensive which is paid later right?
My questions again
This 70k are u sure it comes into your account every month?
Is it the company that pays in this 70k into your account?
If it is the company that pays, how is it stated in your bank account, does it comes with the company's name, monthly salary or monthly commission, What is use to indicates this monthly salary?
Then previous, I asked if there is any tax deduction in this commission, u did not answer it. Ps is there any deduction of tax from your gross pay? Ps note for UK application tax deduction is very compulsory, if no tax deduction u can be denial visa, they d'nt joke with tax.
Then u made mention that the expense is paid directly to your account but usually the staff pays in her name. I am sorry I d'nt understand this statement. Do u mean the company paid with your name? Or u collect the money in cash and pay as self to y account? Ps explain better.
U also stated that the expense may not be paid untill 3months right? This expensive that is paid untill 3months how much are u surpose to be paid monthly for it?
Then for the 2nd job u av to be specific how much u make. If it is 80 or 150. U av to specific. If u know u make 150k more every month, u state to ECO that u make at least 150k monthly or if it is 80k u make more state it. U av to know the exact amount u get from all sources of income every month.
My advice, talk to HR of y company or any one incharge of staff recruitment to state your payslip for your commission , the tax deduction and gross pay u make and the net after tax deduction. Beacuse if all these are not properly documented I see a refusal bc UK ECO likes organised and explainory pay slip. All the best



They pay expense directly to my account but usually a staff pays in her name. And they may not pay until 3 months.

Thank you. I'm a pharmaceutical sales rep.

The 10% is calculated and equal amount of the money is giving to me as drugs which I sell to my existing customers to get my money.
I.e the company pays salary with products at the end of the month which I sell to my customers to get my cash.

The 70k don't come into my account directly from the company but I sell the products equivalent giving to me by the company to pay the cash into my account by myself

There is tax deduction from the pay. We usually sign payslips anytime we visit head office for a meeting

It's a one man business where the owner of the business send one of the staff at the office to pay expense to my account. Getting to the bank the staff will pay in her name to my account

I'm supposed to receive payment of 23k as expense monthly but it's not pay on regular basis.

The above is for salary and expense.

There is also sales commission if particular targets is meant. but I get at least 20k extra sales commission every month.

In total 70k + 23k+20k is the least I get from my company every month. But this is giving to as a product/drugs which I sell to my customer and pay the money to my savings account.

The other freelancing I get at least 150k gain every month. I have invoices for the sales of the freelancing too. It's a friend a pharmacy invoice booklet I use for that co a she gives me the products.

Thanks as I await your response

Hi, I applied for UK visa and did my biometrics on the 10th of May, I received an email from Shefo that my application has been received and being prepared for review by ECO and that a mail will be sent once a decision is made.. but until this moment I have not heard from them or the TLS.
Am a little worried not knowing a decision has been made and no mail to me and also don't know how to track it on TLS website.. please our gurus in the house I need ur advice here. Thanks

Hi guys here,

I have applied for and gotten 6-month UK visa on 3 occasions in the past - 2013, 2016, 2017.

Applying again, rather than this yearly short time applications, I want to kuku do long term this time around.

Can I go from 6 months to 5 years straight - bypassing 2 years?

Good day experts. I want to apply for a two year visa for my family. This is their first time of applying to UK. Do we stand a chance of being given two years or we should just apply for six months. We have good travel history to other countries like US, Schengen. Thanks

Which visa type did u apply for?
Normally if it is tourist visa it takes just 15 working days. When I submitted this Feb, I only received the 1st mail that my application av bin received, then the last mail was my visa is ready for collection.
Atimes if it is taking time to come out, there are many people that applied, especially now that summer is around the corner.
For the tracking check the website and see if u can find it, the last I applied a sister assisted me to track it. Other house members can contribute.

I actually applied for the tourist visa for 6 months.. it's been about 21 working days now after my biometrics on the 10th of May. Am still waiting for an email, though I already wrote to TLS yesterday.

Hello Gurus in the House.

A friend of mine just got a Journey Instruction for a 7day course in the U.K. from the company where he works. The program is to commence on the 26th of June (ie this month).

Please, what will he need to process his VISA and what is the cost to get this done for him to meet with the dateline?

Please put into consideration that this is first trip.

I will be grateful for a prompt response. Thanks

He might need a fast track.

I did a fast track (extra cost) in similar circumstance in 2017 and got my visa in 13 days, the last working day before my travel.

Interestingly, without fast track in 2016, I got the visa in less than 13 working days. I just didn't want to ake the risk last year.

I think he should do fast track, and he needs to start today, given the travel date is less than 14 days away.

forget101O:


Thank you sir for your quick response. I will appreciate more if I will be able to know the cost of fast tracking The such VISA and the duration.

I am grateful
