Well nope,cos I actually spoke to her and she said that's what the embassy told her.I told her it would be extremely difficult tho but if they are willing to give it a try.

Now its you and not your 'friend' again?

Thanks for your reply the question asked if any visa has been issued in the last 10 years. The visa was issued 11 years ago from now (2004) but was valid till 2006. If it was meant to be a yes, what do you advise now? Can we withdraw the application? Please advise

Her appointment is on Monday, please advice on what is best we do. Thank you so much

She can correct that mistake in the paper version and make a note beside it.

I spoke doesn't mean I'm the guy,I was surprised when he told me all what she said.So I spoke to her about how essential the home ties is,because my friend has got no idea bout the visa stuff.I only asked on here because I believe I can get answers.

Thanks for your reply.
Funny as it may sound, not many people know the tax laws of this country properly and I am among those that don't know. I didn't know someone working online will be expected to pay taxes. I thought it was meant for normal businesses registered in Nigeria. I am sure if it was clear that I needed to pay taxes it won't have been a problem for the company to comply.

The Nigerian system does not criminalize minor scale businesses that do not comply with taxation, therefore, business owners are not compelled to pay taxes for their employees, and the embassies know this: and as an employee, they do not consider you a corrupt worker. But the disadvantage is, you can not apply for a visa with such emplyment condition for reason that:
A) The credibility and standard of your company can not be evaluated without tax compliance.
B) Your type of employment is unofficial, having no normal contract letter outlining the details and the terms and conditions that are signed to.
C) The absence of tax record

Hello House.Please just a quick question. My sister left the UK the day her visa expired but she was stamped in the following day in Nigeria cos she boarded a night flight. Now she intends to attend my grad in UK,does she have to provide any proof of when she left UK?She is concerned cos her stamp shows she arrived a day after her visa expired.
Any advice please?

Hi, I'm a doctor applying for my PLAB visa. My issues are
1) I quit my job a month ago, but have all my payslips & bank documents. How do I go about filling up the employment column ?
2) My parents are in the UK & my dad's work visa expires in about a week. His passport is with the home office for ILR processing ( he should ideally get it in a few days). But since my exam is quite near, I've got a cousin to sponsor me. How do I present this fact ?
Given these difficulties, please help me tackle this rather complex issue. Hindsight, I should not have quit my job, but my grandmother was diagnosed with cancer last month & since my father could'nt make it, I had to quit my job to support her.

Good day house,
I successfully completed the Visa forms for me and my family and chose 13th of March for biometeric
I was referred to Teleperformance website which I have registered with.
While going throu the site I got to the value added services
Do I opt for the Preminuim lounge service which will cost me #89 GBP and since we are four that #356 GBP (N 112,500) and I am just wondering if its really necessary.

hello house, i just completed a family vist visa application but couldn't find anywhere to upload or attach documents. How do I go abt attaching documents? Pls I need a urgent reply. Thanks

Your profession is good, but your circumstances are unfavorable.
1) You can not fulfill the employment aspect because, you are unemployed, but yet, that does not disqualify you from getting the visa.
2) Your cousin is not eligible to be your sponsor, this aspect will disqualify you.

She should be fine, she wouldn't need to explain that or do anything in respect of that.

methinks its totally unnecessary......my visa was issued within 4 working days and i didnt even do expedited visa, premuim lounge is different from expedited visa...the lounge is like a vip lounge just like in airports you pay 2 to 5k to stay in the vip lounge.....and not in the common area with odinary peeps :0

total waste of money for me, but i aint a vip...............if u r a vip or celebrity or gat the dough.feel free to pay...i doubt it affects the visa outcome in any way

Hello House,

I have been trying to pay for UK visa for 3 days and i keep getting the feedback "Payment Unsuccessful". I have contacted my bank GTB and i was told the issue is with the UKVIS website. My appointmnt is next week. An advise on what i can do pls?

I got this email from Sheffield this morning. How do I get a cheaper contact in Abuja to change my damaged passport. And what is the implication on my visa decision : message---------------- The photograph on the biodata page of the passport you have provided with your application  is damaged. Your passport will be returned to you via the VAC in Nigeria. Please obtain a new passport and arrange this to be sent back to us via the VAC in Nigeria. We will be unable to make a decision on your application until a valid passport is received.


Kind regards,

Sheffield Visa Section

When I hear people say "Business Registration Documents" I get confused, is it not only one Document? The CAC certificate, is there any document apart from it?

Please Help!

My daughter and I both have visa so I applied for 6mths for my son you didn't have because I didn't have enough money. He has been given the visa today but now I want to reapply for a 2 yr visa even asap even though he is yet to make his first trip. I want to do the 2 yr because u don't want to very soon go through application stress again.

1. Can I reapply for 2 yr on top of the 6mths he is yet to use?

2. What reason do I give for the extension?

I will appreciate you advice.

My advice is,you better make do with the 6months and apply for 2 years after it expires,your desperation might lead to the existing visa being cancelled,as you just want to give the visa officer reasons to doubt your initial application.

Hello house,

Do we have to take all old passports (four to be precise) issued over a 15 hear period for submission with original documents on the appointment day?

Many thanks for your advice.

Hello gurus
I will like to confirm something for a good friend of mine.He's being helping a British friend he met online with African cultural studies ,this british friend would be in Nigeria in October for a week and would like to invite him also to UK (not for dating), the British already made all necessary inquiry with the embassy about inviting and sponsoring him,she already has all the required docs but my friend has got no job to prove as home ties.The embassy said all the British docs are OK to sponsor him,
Can it be that the embassy is deceiving the British despite knowing that my friend got no home ties?
thanks .

Well nope,cos I actually spoke to her and she said that's what the embassy told her.I told her it would be extremely difficult tho but if they are willing to give it a try.

What does it benefit you to lie and to defend the lie with futher lies?
Your non-existent friend who knows how to use online chat to successfully convince a Briton to visit him in Nigeria does not know how to use Nairaland?

This is the reason many people don't like asking questions on here because instead of trying to help someone that kindly asked for it,you start judging. I didn't know its a crime to ask a question on behalf of a friend, have seen many do that on here and that's why I decided to give it a try .But since you wanna play detective, I'll let it slide. Thanks

It's a free forum, I'm free to quote you just like you're free to talk about a non-existent friend: and i'm also free to scrutinize your posts.
Well, if I say something that I know is true, and if someone doubts it, I won't need to strive desperately just to convince someone.
It's ok, I hope your query (oops, i mean your friend's query) has been resolved.
