Hello People (Justwise).... So my 14 years old nephew was refused visa on grounds that
1. His birth certificate was just issued without giving satisfactory reason where the first one was
2. No prove that he has met his uncle (me)

One of the ladies outside the visa centre advised my sister to apply for a review that the reasons makes no sense. Please house, advise me on this case. What should we do. I really don't have pix with him and he didn't get a birth certificate when he was born either (careless Nigerian way of life ) help pls. Thanks

It's always a problem when people apply for visa with a shiny birth certificate even when the child was born years ago.

You can try AR and see how it goes.

Almost all the documents will come from you. Only the TB certificate and the completed application form that need to come from him and submitted in Nigeria, the rest will be sent to Sheffield....
Allow him to apply from Nigeria and make the payments from there

Ok great thank you, will he also need to pay the NHS surcharge at the same time as his application or can I do that?

Does he need to show money in his account, his salary is pretty damn sh**t so rarely has any disposable income.

Kind regards

Yes the NHS surcharge needs to be paid at the process.

He does not need to show any money...all eyes are on your pay as the sponsor

She does not need the original letter but she should BRIEFLY explain the circumstances with her application.
If she does not mention it they may think she is hiding things, it will be on her computer record.
Honesty is best, better to be refused that get a ban for fraud.
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 2 by OGreene: 9:00am On Aug 07, 2015
Okay. She doesn't hv any copy.

I will tell her to explain. She has been refused several times, her elder bro now lives in d UK and when he was doing his application then to immigrate, he filled in her name as his dependant. Since den when she applies for visa to visit the bro, to be self sponsored by the bro, they kept turning her down. At one time, they had to appeal, d bro went for the hearing in the UK, but nothing positive came out of it. Meanwhile all her siblings hv been travellng to visit the bro, their mum spends months there sef.

I feel for her. I detest plenty rejections back to back. I told her to fashi UK and be visiting other countries for now and maybe 5 yrs later to re-apply. Hopefully she wud be married by den. But she wants to apply this minute. She has been to Dubai last year. She is single and the last born. She is working now unlike d times she applied in d past. I also suggested she shud cut out the sole sponsorship by bro and let her split it, maybe taking care of d flight fare herself.

Does anyone hv an idea on d way forward now. cry

Good afternoon gurus,
I will like you to help throw more light to something ,a friend got a visit visa for himself and his family(2children and a wife) and after getting the visa due to some reasons he will like to go first while the family meet him there two weeks later .
My question is ,hope he will not be disturb for this at the port of entry for not coming with his family since what he has is a visit visa for himself and the family.
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 2 by FrontPageLawyer(m): 1:15pm On Aug 07, 2015
Thank you Mr. Justwise and Partners.

A quick question please.

I will be travelling with my business partner on this trip and we were bought given separate invitation letters by the company but with same context except for the names and passport numbers.

My company is sponsoring the trip, so we are using the same company's' statement of account.

Should we submit the application together in same envelope or separately?

Thank you.

Pls advise me to advice a friend.
She wants to go for a conference in UK in October. Her reason is networking. But here is the thing
1. She just started a job like 2 months ago with 70k salary.
2. She said the trip will cost her abiut 1.2M.
3. She wants to borrow this 1.2M to go for d conference which includes Passport, application n flight ticket. She has someone to accommodate her. Tho she is still looking for who will loan her.


To me, it doesnt sound wise tho good that she is trying to upgrade herself. But pls, my ple what do you think...how wise is this move and what r her chances for a visa?

Tell your friend not to waste her money and time, even if somebody is praying for her in village she needs to resist this one.

He needs to prepare a reasonable answer just in case the immigration stopped him at POE.

Ok. I schooled in the UK. Finished my programme in May, 2015. I returned home in June. My tier 4 visa expired in July. My convocation is in September.

I'm not much of a contributor here but as one who was sponsored for my grad after my MSc, let me give my two cents:

I think a graduation ceremony is important enough to want to attend in person and not a "frivolous party" as someone suggested. I also think given the very short period since your return it would only be logical that you may not have enough funds to sponsor yourself. As was in my case, I had just got employed (even longer than you) but I had to use a sponsor's statement for my visa application.
There is nothing wrong in your dad wanting to sponsor you since his finances are buoyant enough.

My advice is for you to go ahead and give it a shot but be very detailed and careful in putting together your application. You already have a good immigration record if you did not violate your student visa in any way. Be very honest in filling your application form, sections on accessing healthcare while you were in school, your NiNO no. if you had a part-time job(I pray you didn't work more hours than was approved) and so on.
Include an employment letter from your new work place stating your salary (hope it's good too) and a letter from them giving you time off specifically to attend your grad (not too long o, best 10 days or less).

Finally, can't your dad go with you? That would increase your chances appreciably. Get him an invitation letter from your school or whatever is obtainable, pay for or reserve a ticket for the grad ceremony for him and attach proof.

Above all, it's all by God's grace. Best wishes.
