hi guys, when submitting a sponsor's passport data for a UK visit visa, is it appropriate to just submit the bio page and visa pages that contain the visa stickers only or is it necessary to add all the immigration stamps showing departure and arrival bearing in mind that the stamp pages alone are about 20 pages of A4 sheets.

cheers

ekpotek:


Just the sponsor passport data page as evidence of nationality and current visa stamp as evidence of current immigration status in the UK.

ekpotek:


2 years visit visa - £350
Super priority service (decision within 24 hours) is additional £750
You can worked that out. Definitely it will not be $567! I guess your friend had only paid 2 years visa plus additional fees where applicable.

MadameW:
Hello everyone, pls does my son with an American passport need to apply for a visit visa to the UK?

ekpotek:


Sorry for the refusal. Can you post the refusal letter here so that experts in this forum can advise accordingly incase you want to reapply.

ekpotek:


1. Yes
2. You can group the application for appointment on TLS website after registrating for submission.

ekpotek:


Thank you



No. A US Citizen is visa free to UK. He will just be stamp in for 6 months at POE

Good day. Please assist advise further.
My mum is retired teacher and wants to sponsor herself to go do omugwo for my sister. My sister is unable to sponsor her as her proof of funds is low and she is only doing a part time job. My mum has enough money as proof of funds. How best can we go about the application to avoid it being denied

opomulero:


Thank you very much,

Please 1 last question.

Is the cover letters supposed to be typewritten or handwritten, and can d cover letter be more than one letter?

monchat:


My question, since your sister can not sponsor what of her husband?
What is the status of y sister and her husband in the UK?
You guys av to be very sure of the status they av in the uk.
If any of them av a permanent resident, then a letter of invitation will be send inviting your mum for omugwo. But the person inviting her must provide the details of job, stays in uk, proof of address for y mum to include in her application.

On the other hand, if all these are not available I will advise your mum to just apply as a tourist. (Visiting visa)
All she need is to present some supporting documents to help increase her chances of getting visa such as the certificate of her retirement as a teacher, her pension, national ID if she has, letter of employment before she retired, the last 6months payslips bf retirement, retirement benefit and comprehensive account showing the budget she has estimated for her trip and some left for her to use when she comes bk.

cuteyangel:


Am sure he is a permanent citizen cos my sis got her pr and joined him in uk last year so his documentation should be ok. My sis mentioned he may be illegible to sponsor as he no more works full time since he started schooling. Is my mum better off applying for a visiting visa. If So, during the application what will we write as her reason for wanting to travel?

Since, they can not invite y mum, ps I will advice her to just apply as a tourist with the intention to visit the UK for summer holiday.

There is no place in the application she is asked to write reason of visiting. What is asked is purpose of visiting, she picks the purpose from the options in dialog box. My advice again is that she should book hotel reservation as where she will stay, bc if she mentions she will stay in y sister's house, your sister has to provide all her details, which I guess, she might not have all, bc the ECO will like to see that y sister is capable of accomodating her during her stay in the uk and also if she state y sister address as where she will staying, y sister phone number will be included in the address of the place she will stay and the ECO might wish to call her to verify if she is expecting some one, who is the person to her etc, and the ECO will also wonder why letter of invitation is not included in d application, so to avoid all these complications, she should just book hotel or hostel in booking.com, as soon as she gets the visa, she cancel it. When she is ready to travel, she can book again bc, of when she gets to POE, she might be asked where she will staying, when she finally gets to y sisters house, she cancel d reservation.

Also when filling the application, she will come across the place that is asked if she knows anybody in the UK, will she be visiting? The person status in the UK, so it is left for y mum and sister to decide what she will answer there . But, I do advice pple if u are not very sure of the person status in the UK and if the person is not ready to provide relevant documents about his/her self, ps just click NO and avoid any complications and denial. All the best to y mum

Your mum have every right to visit her daughter for omugu or whatever. Read back through this thread and you will find several successful applicants in the same shoes as your mother. Package your application very well with all necessary documents and your mother will get the visa irrespective of your sister’s husband working part time and studying. Going for a visiting visa without a definite purpose is not advisable as your mother is neither a tourist or frequent traveler. Beside UKVI already have some data on your mother as your sister must have included her name and date of birth when she was filling her spousal visa application to join her husband in the UK.

Ps I am not giving false information. Relevant documents does not mean that the person is submitting it with d application, which I am aware of, since the person is not staying or visiting. What I mean is relevant documents for verification. Before u put any one in y application, u av to be very sure that the person has a genuine stay by requesting for relevant documents to enable u verify by yourself. I do use my family friend for my application, she sent me relevant documents, to enable me verify, I was satisfied about it and I used her and I never submitted the documents with my application.

One does not just put any relative/friend in the application bc of the person lives in the uk without u verifying the person status . Seeing is believing than someone tells u, i av a stay in the UK and u believe without seeing for y self, whereas the person does not av a stay. In her own case, I am not sure and comfortable about her sister and hubby status in the UK, so that is why I advised that, it is left for the sister and mum to decide, if the sister is very sure she has a genuine stay in the uk ,then she go ahead and fill it, if she is not sure of her daughter's stay let her d'nt even border to mention it. Most people in Nigeria av relatives living in uk but, most of them d'nt av stay. Can u put someone that u are not sure of his/her stay in y application?

I know u av corrected me before which was noted and I av been careful about it. Thanks for that . I am not okay with people puting someone they are not sure of his/her status and someone that can not give u relevant documents / informations about themselves to enable u verify.
