Hi, ehm, I'm not a moderator; I'm just happy to help where I can, while learning where I can as well .
As per your Q, here's what I think you should key in. And I'll put my reasons where I can.

*
Income and Expenditure
Nil (because she earns no income for now; can stand as a fulltime housewife )

*

What is the cost to you personally of your trip in GBP(£)?
* Nil (Because she bears no cost for the trip. It's all paid for by hubby (luvly) )

The total amount of money you have for this trip
* this I'm not sure but you might wanna put same figures you put in your own VAF (becos same money will be available for her as well)

The cost of the aeroplane, boat or train tickets
* N/A (she's not the one catering to it; it's hubby)

The cost of your accommodation
* The same as urs. (She can also put N/A because again, she's not the one sponsoring the trip. I would do this.)

The cost of your living expenses
* The same as urs

Is someone other than you paying for all or a part of your trip? YES


What is the total amount in GBP(£)?
You might wanna put down what you wrote in yours.

This is my opinion based on the ones I've seen successful. The most important thing is that in the "other info to consider application" section, be sure to put down the following:

* I am presently a fulltime housewife.
* This trip will be fully sponsored by my husband, Mr. Xyz. Please refer to his ABC Bank statement attached to support my application.

I say this cos My M/I/L filled hers like this and she was to be sponsored by her hubby. She got her visa. Again, while every visa application is considered in its own merit, I'm certain this is ok. At the end of the day, the choice is yours .
But then what do I know? Lol

Hope this helps.

Both of you are saying the same thing... Same script, different actors and lines. Lol.

Anyways, @ Samy UI Student, That's why I bolded the "Online" so you won't disturb JW with the same question over and over and exhaust his over-niceness. Lol. You see Newbie2014 is already exhausting his niceness. Lol
Plus, the online application is a simple step by step process, nothing too difficult to comprehend but then, if you reach a deadlock AFTER STARTING AND GOING THRU THE ONLINE APPLICATION PROCESS, hit Nairaland back.

tusol: @justwise,i can't even remember anymore,it was a lawyer that filed the appeal then

curiobling: i told you now your visa is arrived. Pls whats the purpose of the N300 and how many working days in total now before this arrived

blank:

N300 was for parking. Total days were 24 working days.

Hi guys,Vicjustice,Justwise. Hope you remember me . D lady with the British boyfriend and British son.. I Know you always say i come in here to make enquiries and just zap, not this time. Got some good news,thanks to your help. Got my leave to remain in less than six weeks..applied here in the Uk....yipeeee! Thanks a lot guys and please keep up the wonderful work.

justwise:

Hmmm...bro did you actually read my last post to you? I explained to you how to solve the issue of the cost, you don't do guess work with it, you have to be specific with your figures because that is the only way the ECO will know if you can afford the trip or not.

You need to write down your cost for each item and attach this to your application package, ECOs know what those items cost....flight, transport within London or outside London etc... because its very easy to get them online within minutes. So using a guess work to under-estimate or over-estimate your cost will not help your application.

Good luck

Thanks for the assistance all the while I have completed my estimation and got how much I needed for the 2 trip so I want to show how I will put it down on the form and what to see if I have done it correctly.

5.15. What money is Available for you trip? 400,000 naira

5.16. Who will pay for your travel to the UK? My self

5.17. Who will pay for your expenses such as accommodation and food? My host (brother) will also write his full name

5.18. If some one other than yourself is paying for all or any part of the visit, how much money will they give you? NIL

5.19. What is the cost to you personally of your stay in the UK? 1,000 GBP

I hope I am on the correct path filling this way?

I await your reply pls God bless

justwise:

You need to write down in blank space or separate paper how you are going to spend that £1000 and attach it to your application (if written on paper)

Your brother need to send you evidence of that accommodation, data page of his passport and his bank statement.

michealangelo:


Thanks Boss copied I have his passport page but not his bank statement yet, I will wait for the post to arrive and I will add that to it, also I will make to do list of all I want to spend the money on inclusive the ticket God bless you and give you more strength

kofoshi: Hey 3sha4lyf,

I sent you an email.

I hope you received it?

joxiri:


I am quite confused with that cost of living expenses
I am assuming this is whilst in the uk
And also pls on the form where it says
Have u visited any uk territories or commonwealth country
South africa is a commonwealth country right
So this answer should be yes if you have visited SA?

3sha4lyf:

Yes, that's the cost of living expenses you'll incur while on this trip. Tell u what, yeah, do the maths on a rough sheet, i.e accommodation, feeding, local transportation etc. Then sum that up and put down the figure there.

I'm bumping in that cos I dunno the answer. I'm guessing if you answer yes, a toggledown will ask you where n where, you just put you south Africa.
Two things can only happen.
One, It may be ignored if that's not the expected answer from the UKHO, (and then they know that it's time to expatriate on that question as applicants are finding it difficult to provide the expected response)
OR
They tick it good, as well-answered.

But if you leave it blank or say no, if their expectations include All C/wealth countries, they may think you concealed an information.

I may b right, I may be wrong. But then, what do I know

Though you have £1000 for the trip but you don't have to spend all, apart from ticket ...avoid adding things that are not necessary

michealangelo:



OK thanks God bless

3sha4lyf:


No. Didn't see any though it's notifying me that there's one. I tire for the mata. Wish NL would develop PMs on this forum rather than diverting to ppl's inbox.

faithy4me: please justwise link me with the site where i can fill my application online
