newbie2014:

Yes I got it and there were lots of packages that were being sorted when i went there this afternoon. Hopefully, Yours should be ready as well dis week. Search for tickets has officially begun. FYI my visa had been stamped for the past two weeks already.

Getting a permit gives them an edge but they still have to meet other requirements..e.g...proof of accommodation, maintenance money for their stay in London..etc

sophiapat: Thank you very much, Plz can u give me the link to the thread dat talks about why applications are refused.. Ill be very grateful

Castalia: Justwise, Vicjustice, et al

Please what is the correct answer to this question in the VAF (for those who have been issued a UK visa in the past)
Issuiing Authority: What authority issued your visa i.e. British Embassy, High Commission, Consulate?

Do we write:
British High Commission
OR
ABUJA (or Lagos as the case may be)

Because in the visa, there is a place written: Issued in: Abuja

Please clarify

kissofdragon: They have sorted out the accomodation and maintainance money.. I hope all goes well.. Thanks for the insight.. Your a gem

Vicjustice:
"ISSUING AUTHORITY" is the Embassy, Consulate, Commission, Immigration or other Deplomatic authorities that granted the visa.
Now, some issueing authorities like to enter the name of the city of location, while others like to use their departments, and some prefer the use of codes.
Examples
ISSUEING AUTHORITY: Riga
ISSUEING AUTHORITY: Embassy Of Iraq, Lagos
ISSUEING AUTHORITY: Dub-454.
You may need to check the visa on your passport to get the precise refference of the issueing authority, but it is not a big deal if the passport is unavailable, in that case, simply write "Can't Recall" or [b]just write the name of the embassy [/b]etc

worry359:

You need to put that right before applying again.

haseebhas:
I am uploading i had these objection earlier but at that time i got my visa in appeal and now i heard there is no such thing as appeal anymore

worry359:
Nothing to appeal about!
Your finances do not match up with what you have said.
Your bank account looks like money has been added to boost your chances.
But MUCH WORSE you have NO TIES TO RETURN HOME!

Without ties to home you will not get visa, you look too much like a person who would overstay.

Castalia: Dear MOD and all
Please how do we answer these questions for a 6 month old infant who is traveling with her parents:
How much of your total monthly income is given to your family members and other dependants?
What is the cost to you personally of your trip in GBP(£)?
The total amount of money you have for this trip
The cost of the aeroplane, boat or train tickets
The cost of your accommodation
The cost of your living expenses
What is the total cost of your trip, including money others may be giving you, in GBP(£)
I have checked the thread and I dint see any recommended answers for these questions for an infant (6months old) I know there are answers for a spouse who is being sponsored, but I dint see any specific recommendations on how they can be answered for infants. So please help

Castalia: Please another question

I am applying with my wife and daughter and I am the sponsor.
I want to know if our application will go as a single document, OR are they going to be taken/packaged separately. I am supposed to make copies of all the documents for each of their applications if they are going to be treated separately? For instance - am I suppose to get 3 original copies of my bank statement, one for my application, one for my wife, one for my daughter's application?

haseebhas: Please check my posts aswell

Kimsunh: Hello good people. I'm new to nairaland, I have a big problem that requires urgent attention. I'm billed to perform along my other colleagues for a show in uk and we have been granted out work permit. I have filled the application and made the payment when I noticed my passport is missing so I quickly went to Abuja to request for a new one. I haven't been issued a new one and this morning my wife found it. Can I go ahead and submit the application with the old passport despite the fact that I have reported it missing and I have been giving the approval to come for renewal next week. Pls help me out justwise and every good people here

justwise:

You can but email the immigration and tell them that you have found it, when they reply print out the email and have it with you when traveling to avoid problem at the airports.

Kimsunh: what if I have a visa on the old passport and I was issued a new one? Will the old one be cancelled and the visa be cancelled as well?

justwise:

The old one will be stamped with: 'Cancelled Without Prejudice' but the visa on it remains valid. When traveling you have to carry both and present them at the POE

Kimsunh: thank you justwise. You are a true gem
