Congratulations. Can you share your experiences at POE?

It was cool, though the Clearance Officer wanted to pull a fast one on me. After asking why I am coming to UK which I answered was for Vacationing purpose , asked me 2 other normal questions then asked me again If I am here for business purpose? I quickly put it straight to her again that I am here for vacationing. She just quickly stamp my entry and ask me to go in.

Thanks. I just got my visa too and should be traveling soon, (first timer) . Just needed information about the best airline to travel with

I'm not sure I can cope with a 13 hour lay over. It sure would be boring

But do enjoy your vacation once again

have you tracked your application on Tls website??
have you gotten any mail from ukvi or Tls??

U shud check the previous page to see my last comment. That was the last email they sent to me yesterday. All the best

I have read your post and respond from the UKVI, they have notify Lagos centre since May so they will contact them and get back to you.
another email will be sent to you, so I think the challenge is from TLS Ikeja. , it's somehow slow

I just sent UKVI an email now and hope next week get some news,
please let me know when you got an email from them

Note bro
I said I learnt here that I shouldn't send 4times my salary, not that I intend to spend
Lemme post it again
Thanks
Please hear this, so I wish to apply for a 6months visit visa, I work with a salary of 100k, but my boss been paying me 60k since March due to economic downturns,now it has improved, he recently made a payment of the outstanding salaries amounting to 160k and it's a small company, so I don't have a pension account to print for this application, and oh sometimes he pays me with his main account and not the company account I think just once.

I also have a side small business ,I sell wears and shoes on jumia and also dress people up, help people go to the market and buy clothes, which I am been paid for, which explains the other monies that enters my account apart from salary, I have jumia's vendor ID card to support as jumias deposits reflects in my statements and also has a page on IG where I sell too. Which makes my mothly income to 150k 200k sometimes.

Now I learnt here I don't have to spend moredan 4times my salary in a trip , and my brother inlaw is taking up my flight and hotel fee for the five days I intend to spend in the uk, pls what documents do I need to present on my part and his. And would you advice he sponsors or I let him out, I have inflow and outflow, eventho most times I transfer from my fidelity to the main account I intend to use gbt and my closing will be 2m or 1.5 as people are oweing me a lot..
Sorry for the long talks, thanks again

sorry for the late response...
I think you have a good chance of getting the visa, but your home ties matters too..
are you married or single?
do you have kids/child?
as per sponsorship if you are above 25 I don't think you should use a sponsor however you can declare him in your visa application...

I think justwise, ekpotek, bigbus, FPL and other gurus can advice you further...

yeah I know what you feel like, but I think you can exit UK and enter again after the 10 days visit na.

I think you can enter Serbia with UK visa spend some days/weeks and then re-enter UK again that is if you wish ooo...

2. Will that be any query if they notice an in flow of 1m from cooperative to my account.
3. Do I need to get my cooperative statement account to support my claim
4.do I need to submit my husband statement.

She can invite her male friend as long he meets visa requirements, this is like him applying to visit the UK on his own the only difference here is that a female friend is inviting him. Even if she will be paying for everything he still need to proof that he has a strong tie to Nigeria.

Thank you

1. Nobody here can honestly tell you that even the ECO can't until you made your application and wait for the outcome

2. Yes that will call for some questions if you did not explain where the money come from and back that up with paper evidence.

3. Yes you have to.

4. Yes again you have to submit his own bank statement.


Since the application is next year and both of you earn more than half a million a month why not start leaving your salaries in your salary account to avoid moving money around for visa application?
