Hello Nairalanders!

I plan to go to the UK for summer with my family this year for the first time . Will appreciate sincere answer to some of the questions below;

How do I start processing for visa and when will it be late to do so?

   Every visa application starts with paper-works, and then, contact with the embassy to make appointment for submission and scanning, and the rest goes according to the embassy's procedures. You may start the visa process any time that you deem ready for it, but you must give enough time (between your application day and the date you intend to travel) to enable the embassy process your application.

   Number does not matter, but reputation and credibility together with eminence and accountability would be taken into consideration to determine your calibre.

   Did you visit the UAE with your family or alone?
   It would be more appropriate had you visited with your family, but still this might not increase your chance especially if you went there alone; rather, it would raise more questions because, you would have to explain what you went to do in the UAE especially now-a-days that the West declares red-alert at anything coming from the Muslim world

What documents do I need to present?
Thank you.

   Present as many documents as you can lay your hands on, (it's better to have more than enough than to have less) because, the documents will surely be returned to you.
Warning: Do not ever submit any forged paper, if you do, they will definitely detect it and have you banned from UK visa of any category for 10 years

Hello Nairalanders!
Does it worth going for holiday in UK or is US better?

   Are you sure that you're not talking about migrating rather than a holiday trip? If you're talking about holiday trip then, why are you asking this question?
   Anyway, i'm giving my advice on the understanding that you're talking of a holiday trip, so i'll say: This is up to you, you have to make up your mind now on where you wish to spend your holiday to enable you make better preparation for a possible interview with a visa officer.
   You would be asked to tell the areas you're mostly interested in, the things you hope to see in the areas, what you wish to do there and where you'd be staying etc. So, make up your mind for whichever country now

I visited UAE with my family for holiday. I belong to the working class group with limited period for leisure.

If you visited the UAE with your family for the purpose of pleasure, then, i think you're not the kind that the UK visa officers do not want in their country. But to earn all credibility, you need to be in reputable employment or maintain valid source of fair income: and considering that you're travelling with your family, you need to be able to convince the officer that you have something (in Nigeria) to return to and ultimately, you need to have satisfactory evidence of finance to maintain all four of you: know that your application is likely to be refused if the embassy calculates that the amount of money that would cover the entire cost of the trip exceeds 60% of your total savings.
