@justwise

I need your help and guide on how to package my application. My Dad,Mum and 2 siblings are irish citizen living in ireland , but our last born his irish citizen by birth . I am the first born I stayed in Nigeria my Dad want me to come for a family visit to ireland , so Sir I want you to put me through on the requirements I will need.

What are you doing currently in Nigeria?

ezychris:

Yes i ve @frontpagelawyer. Thanks @justwise
Please your answers have generated a few questions.
1. what are the required documents i should get from my family friend showing that they invited me and are capable of accommodating and feeding me?
2. What documents do I need from my sponsor who is my maternal aunt showing she is related to me?

1. That is the least of your problems, proof of relationship with paper evidence is important...email exchange, chat history/phone call, prove that you have been in contact with this person for sometime now.

The person you are going to visit is not directly related to you so you need to convince the ECO why he is inviting you.

2. Your aunt sponsoring will be a problem, why does she wants to spend thousands on you for a trip to the UK? What will she gain from it? How much does she earn to be able to spend that much on you? Those are questions you need to answer.

Good Job you guys are doing here


Please I have an enquiry. I'm about to apply for a UK visa but I'm not sure of which because of my situations below:
1: I studied in the UK and stayed with my sister in her house
2: l came back to Nigeria after studies and got a job with my state civil service for 4 and a half yrs now and running

3: i have N500k in my account

4: My sister is a UK citizen and still stays in thesame town and house i intend visiting

5: I'm 33 yrs old

QUESTION

1: Should i request an invitation from her and a letter of confirmation that I will be staying with her OR

Should I just apply for 7 days tourist visa and book a hotel, however I am considering if VO will consider 500k appropriate for such expenditure.

2: won't the VO turn me down since I'm applying as a tourist to visit a town i schooled and stayed for 2yrs?


PLEASE !!!! I need an urgent response and God bless

You will use up most of your 500K on air fares and hotel leaving very little in your account.
UKBA do NOT like to see this as it means no ties to return home.
They will suspect that you will overstay, so they will reject your visa.
This plus your links to the town are red flags.

You need to show good earnings {tax statement or letter from your employer)
and very strong ties to home to have a chance of getting the visa.

At the moment I would suggest saving your money and building up funds.

Thanks for your prompt response. However all my questions wasn't answered . lets assume I have upto 700k or above, what will be the best visa to go for? Considering my situation as listed above.

With kind regards

I'm coming back to give details of my journey since 2006

2006 agent rejected

2007 agent rejected

2012 June agent rejected

2012 August agent rejected

I joined this forum 2013 and since then Justwise has been so helpful. God bless you.

2013 package application myself rejected. Didn't adhere to instruction and was rejected because my claimed salary wasn't showing in my personal statement of account.

2015 with determination, built my salary account for 6Months and with the help of Justwise, Ogreene, Iblaw. I was stamped 6Months Gbammmmmm. All my documents are 100% mine and genuine.

Moral lesson. No short cut to visa application. Agents almost ruin me.

Wish I'd known this forum all the while. Bless God I wasn't ban all the while have been using agents.

God bless Justwise

Hey everyone, does anyone know any good immigration lawyer / lawyer that's good with embassy refusals,, my story is kinda long, but i overstayed a uk visa many years back, came back home, applied for settlement was refused, divorced now, this was about 5 years ago and I would like to apply for a visit visa now, but I think i need the help of a lawyer to draft a letter or something @justwise, vicjistice, etc, pls help out

Pls advice
Hav had three Schnegen visas after this refusal

… you have submitted no evidence of personal income, assets or savings of your own upon whom you are financially dependent…

this was the major reason for my denial. i provided them with my employment letter and payslips, however i omitted my bank account statement because my husband was stated as sponsor of the trip and i didn't feel it necessary. other than my personal bank account statements, what other documents should i provide? kindly note i have no landed property or another source of funds.

i am married with a kid who will be travelling with us however she doesn't require the visa because she is an american citizen.

i want to reapply immediately (fastback) as i hope to be in the uk by the first week of october. (it was a 6 month tourist visa i applied for) how do i go about it this time. kindly assist me please as i am confused.

Does he not have any other account that is funded? If no, then how come he earns 417k in a month and not have savings? His salary is ok but sincerely its risky applying with just 417k as account balance.

thank you.
actually I'm a teacher. I applied for a tourist visa in July and I was given I had an acct balance of four hundred and something which I submitted even though my fiance was my sponsor.
my question is I stated in that aplication that I would be travelling by august which I couldn't because of extension classes so I decided to travel in December with a stop over flight because its cheaper . so I'm asking if that could be a red flag when i want to renew for two years.

Your friend should get it. Let he/she adhere to instruction, because most times we ignore sound advices, due to undue pressure.

You can check the site pasted below to know if you're qualify for the priority service/fast track

https://uk.tlscontact.com/ng/LOS/page.php?pid=added_value_services

As for the reason for refusal. It's really not a big deal. it has been discussed on several pages here the importance of personal statement of account. This should never be ignored even if you're being sponsored. Give the VO as many documents as you have them available. They're never too much.

And if you're travelling 1st week of October, no troubles. Use Ikeja submission centre.

Best of luck.
