Good day guys, please I need your contributions on how UK embassy can verify the existence of a company or an employee's employment status via open source independent verification. A friend was denied on that basis and attached is the refusal notice. Thank you.

@justwise please what prove does a uk p60 document seems to provide in a visitors visa

P60 is just end of year tax certificate so i don't know how it relates to visiting visa application

NanaOne1:
Thanks for your response Justwise. Please one more clarification.
Apart from her official work, she does a side business by buying and selling if kids products. She has registered as an enterprise but she uses her savings account for this business. The problem is she does not have any vat clearance or vat payment since this is just a small business but she plans to open a business account later on and pay taxes.

Please can she add the business documents to her application to justify the usage of her savings account in running her side business without the payment of taxes?

And is she supposed to add receipts of her purchase and selling of the kinds products?

Please clarify
Thank you

She can do that and explain the nature of her business and how she runs it

Hello House

Please i need an urgent help. I am applying for a visit visa for me and my wife. While filling the form i indicated that my wife will be traveling with me and i indicated her passport number.
I am at the point of making payment and i noticed 2 things
i. That the payment for standard service is USD129 (despite the fact that i am applying for 2 people)
ii. I have not been able to chose where i will do my biometrics (i prefer VI)

Is this normal, or i made mistakes while filling the form
I used this website https://visas-immigration.service.gov.uk

Please help out

Thanks

Thank you @justwise. I would like to add that this applicant from the other country is in secondary school and less than 18 years old. Is she allowed to submit her application by herself while her other sibblings and parent submit in Senegal? Or does she need an adult to go with her for the submission?

Thanks

justwise:


She can apply from there and they all need to state clearly that it's a family trip but applying from different countries

@Dolorsa respond to this allegation

What's my offence? Did I say the refusal was mine? I felt the only way I could get response to why that application was refused was to call the owner of the refusal notice a friend. Maybe I should have addressed the applicant as an enemy. The reason was for me to understand open source independent verification used by the UK embassy. @seeyat, you had to open a new account on nairaland, why? Did your former account expire? Please respond to this your new account creation. @Justwise you can also respond to the open source independent verification issue if you have an idea because I just checked GGK global Limited on cac website. The company is actually a registered one her in Nigeria. Other people might also be interested in this. The UK embassy cannot just be collecting our money without issuing visas to people.

Why would post the refusal letter here even without getting the consent of the owner? Are you an agent if the owner is truly not your friend?

Good day House.

I just searched this thread because of the urgent situation on hand.

My father has been sick and wants to go to UK for treatment. My uncle is working there and has invited him by writing a letter.

I have no idea of how this visa things work and I'll need some explanations.

We've contacted an agent but I will appreciate if I get proper guidance from here.

I will provide more information as regards the documents assembled to whoever thst guides me.

Then click family visit since we have established she's your sister.

No, I'm not an agent. You can still do justice to the open source independent verification if you have an idea. We are all here to learn. I apologise for posting someone's refusal notice.

A lot is your offense in this matter! U don't share people's information without their consents and you still don't feel remorseful about it. How would UKVI grant you visa with such an unlawful act? This is a typical misrepresentation your likes have subjected the country to. This is so criminal and a lawsuit can be press charged against you. This is a great platform where genuine information is shared to help others. The owner is not your friend and he/she can decide to be an enemy for this singular act. The fact that you are not remorseful pisses my gut!

Good day house, i was refused in November, 2018. Due to attached letter, in January i registered my own business, but running it on my savings account. Which inflow nd outflow is constant, i do transfer cash to my business account myself which i have abt 500k in , i still work with last employer but not on salary.. i want to visit UK for tourism.. please advice me on how to gather info and documents. Attached is d refusal letter. I claimed employee in Nov. Can i change informations now? Please house, advise me .. . To make it easier, am thinking of buying conference but can business of 5 months go for conference

@justwise i am applying for a visitors visa and i am the one sponsoring the trip and my cousin is the uk is providing accommodation and these are the docs he sent to me
1.invitation letter
2.p60 doc
3.council letter doc
4.passport bio page
Please My question is what does the p60 document seems to prove in this application.
