Pesuzok:
If i intend staying for 14 days in the UK, will i be granted 6 months visa or just that 14 days. Thank you

Lexusgs430:


6 months (if approved).

Pesuzok:


Thank you for your response.

I actually intend to stay for 14 days. But in my application i filled 30 days should in case i am not able to travel on the day i have in mind.

This 30 days is now making the cost of hotel reservation so high up to 9,000 pounds.

So should i change to 14 days in my application since i will be given 6 months from the date in intend to visit the UK.

Thank you

Lexusgs430:


If approved, your 6 months would count from date of issue and not your intended departure date.
£9000 for about a month? Is it the Dorchester you are looking to stay?
Cheaper holidays abound, that would change about £60.00 a night (much cheaper if booked in advance).

Pesuzok:


ok i get it.

I am travelling with my family, and besides i dont intend staying in the hotel. I just choose one that i can get reservation easily online.

If i apply now against travel date of august, and assuming i am given visa, will it start counting from now or from august.

Thank you for the clarifications

NaGodwin:


ok, thanks
there are some deposits in my account and that of my sister that has same depositors name, some huge amounts which comes from our family business outside her own personal bizness, but the business is not registered, its a loan stuff.
will there be a red flag if they see same depositors in my sisters account and mine?

@justwise after 42 days, my mum got this message
UK Visas & Immigration has now assessed your UK visa application and made a decision. Your documents and the decision will be sent back to the either the UK Visa Application Centre where you applied, where we will contact you by email over the next few days to collect them, or if you are using the courier return service, will be sent directly back to the address you provided.

Please note that Teleperformance does not know the outcome of the assessment and has played no role in the decision-making process.

I hope this is not a refusal because i have heard people say they will say the visa is processed and ready for collection if they have granted the visa. Hope to read from you. Thanks

Hi JustWise

My wife (we've been married for 2 months) intends to make a UK visa application to travel with me on Easter weekend. It's her first application. I have a 5 year visa, which I have used to travel once every year since 2012. it will expire 2017.

1) Does she need to have a leave letter from her office since good friday and Easter Monday are puplic holidays?
2) Would stating that she will spend 3 nights only in the UK sound suspicious to the ECO?
3) Given that it is a very short stay, would an account balance of N1.2 million satisfy the financial preparation requirement. I'm the one sponsoring. The main expense would be flight return ticket which will cost us about N300k (using Arik at least). We plan to stay with my sister who lives with her husband.
4) She started work October last year. They don't give payslips in her office. How best can she present her income situation?
5) What advise do you reckon will give her application higher chances of success?
6) Do they verify account statements submitted from the issuing banks? If 'yes', is the verification just for the authenticity, or are they concerned about whether the amount in the balance has changed?

Thanks

Unfortunately one can not really say if she has been given or not until you collect your package.

justwise:


1. Yes she does.

2. You could state one week and stay only 3 days if given visa.

3. That amount is not bad as long as you budget moderately.

4. If payment from her company goes straightway into her account then she will be fine.

5.....

6....if you are submitting a genuine bank statement then you should not be asking that question.

ulale:
I'm yet to get response from my last post, please mr wise respond na, is it good idea to include bank deposit slips in UK General visitor visa application?

Fredique:



The bank statement is official and genuine. However, the closing balance may not be the same if they verify amount, though not below what i intend to spend on the trip. That's why I asked.

Hello House
please am a student on tier4 visa that started in september
my mum and brother wants to come and see me by middle of this year, what do they need to do and what documents would they be needing?
What do i need to do as well from my end
Thanks in advance

justwise:


You will ruin your immigration record if you don't think carefully.

blank:


I think he means that he will spend out of the money in his account thus when they want to verify, the balance would be less.

Vicjustice:

Yet another one asking about documents

shithapuns:
wow, that was fast, submitted last friday.got this msg from the uk visa people, and my wifey also got the same message.

Your visa has now been processed and is ready for collection.
We aim to return passports to the Visa Application Centre where you lodged your application within 2 working days.

It appears we succeeded, going by past testimonies in the house!
so will likely go on Friday to pick up my visa/documents.
Thank God I didn't waste money paying for expedited visa,

IF I want to send some1 to help me collect it, is it possible?. apart from the collection slip and probably my passport data page, is there anyother thing I should give him?
I guess its too late to request for courier service?..I was thinking the visa would be ready next wk Friday or so, n had biz in lagos then

Good afternoon @justwise, My brother was refused visa and was told he has limited right to appeal. He was given ten years ban because the date of arrival stamped here in MM airport is different from the official date recorded by the commission. However, we noticed that his old passport ( the one that contained a 6 month visa and two 2 year visa, all expired) was not returned. Only the renewed passport was returned. Here is my question, Do they have the right to withhold the passport. Thanks
