Hello great people in this forum,i commend y'all!!!!! Thumbs up
I am new here
Please i have some questions for uk family visitors visa:
I want to invite my parents to uk during the summer,i was born here in 1981,dat was the only time my parents were here,on a study visa and they left after about 1yr, QUESTION-will they apply for 6months visit visa or 2yrs since they have been here before?
Then i live in a 2bed with my wife and child,is that enough accommodation for both of them?
They will be sponsoring themselves as they are doing well in nigeria,but i know i have to also show my employment status here,is 3months payslips/bank statement ok? Or do i need 6months payslips?(cant even find all).definately they will be submitting their 6months.
Thank you all in advance to hearing from you
They can apply (and pay) for 2 years visa,. but i can assure you that they will only be considered for 6 months visa as their current circumstance suggests.
I suppose you already knew that your accommodation is not suitable for an additional person how much more for two.
First of all, as you are not financially going to be responsible for them, you are not required to provided your own bank statement... but in the event that you are to provide it, though, 6 months is the requirement, but whether 3 months is ok or not depends on the judgement and satisfaction of the visa officer.
You do not need to provide your pay-slips if you have other evidence of employment

Thank you so much Vicjustice,they will probably go for the 6months visa and i will get a 3bed accomodation before they apply,as i considered that earlier

VISA granted, *happy*...on my visa application, we intend to travel in august but the visa issued to us starts from now. But no stress since it will still be valid up to august. Very fast, submitted on a tue and picked up the passports the next week wed.

Actually, it is not a necessity, it only serves as an additional proof of relationship. An applicant can do without pictures: picture proof without documented evidence will fail, but documented evidence without pictures can do well.
People don't get refused for not providing pictures when there are sufficient evidence of relationship.

Just wondering why they would deny people based on pictures. I don't have any family picture would my explanation that I'm not a photo person suffice.

Your accommodation is suitable. I invited my sister, her hubby and 3 kids and I have 3 bedroom house ( i have my own kids too living with me). Your parents just need to have a strong tie to Nigeria.

Question house.
Can one apply for a business visa (conference) and stay with family member in the uk during the period of stay (7days)
Conference venue is walking distance from Blood relative house.

Plus will one need documents from relative ( tenement agreement, bank statement etc ) like if applying for visiting??
The person concerned have travelled twice to visit Blood relative.

She is confuse if to stick to her business visa as conference is important or just apply for visiting and attend conference
But bear in mind company is involved in the conference .

Apparently, the children were refused because, the visa officer wanted to ensure that your sister has responsibility to return to Nigeria for...
Now, you sister traveled to the UK on a 6 months tourist visa and she has now over-stayed for over a year, and she wants to bring in her children?
Well, i think she made a big mistake, she should have stay by her visa conditions and then return to Nigeria before it expires, and if she intended to stay with her husband, she should have applied for the appropriate visa.
In her situation, she is subject to removal from the UK and would be banned from re-entering for a lengthy time: and for reason of the violation, their rights to family reunion have been affected.

You can apply for a business visa and reside in whatever accommodation that soothes you.
If you are staying in a person's accommodation, then you are required to provide documents to prove that the person has legitimacy to the property and that there is room for you in it.
Finally, you can use either, Business or Visit visa for the conference.

She has made a very very bad mistake.
She has gained entry to the UK. and then overstayed her visa.
She has also abandoned her children to do this.
It is no good claiming "family ties" when she has shown that she is ready to leave her children behind.
She will be deported and banned when she is found.

The best thing now is for her to report to U.K.B.A. and to declair her overstay.
She should pay her own fare home and will then probably only get a 1 year ban.
Even then her record in future will be bad, making travel to UK. and USA much harder.
These were her decisions and now the concequences are hers to bear.

Hi room, please I don't know if this has been addressed already. I need some education on getting a visa to live in UK. My cousin is a UK citizen and I want to live with her in UK. Please can someone tell me what we both need to do to make it happen. She lives and work there but I don't know how much she earns. I live and work in Ibadan but want to relocate, currently I have 400k to start whatever process is required to join my cousin in Uk.

Justwise, Vicjustice, worry359 and others. please I need your urgent attention. A very close person, like a bro to me got a Uk visitor visa last year, ddue to som financial circumstance, he couldnt leave until 4 months after the visa was issued, which was last night, he left on the basis of "permission to Leave" from office. He got there this morning around 7am but the problem; he is having some issues at the entry point.
He is currently being detained and questioned there as we speak and he isnt really allowed call home, just on occasional basis. We asked him the reason why they arent giving him the clearance and he doesn't understand why
He left with 580pounds as cash at hand, had a hotel reservation as well as his Office ID card.

Before he left, I asked why he didnt go with any of the documents he submitted to get his visa, he said someone told him it might implicate him. How true is this?

Also is the money he has on him too little to get him the entry clearance? What do you feel might be responsible for not granting him entry?

Is there anything he, anyone here or there can do to help him out?

Will really appreciate your urgent reply due to the fact that we feel he might be sent back to the country by tomorrow if norhing is done. Thank you.

Hello justwise, vicjustice and other gurus in the house. I'm going to apply for a visa in 7 months time, so this month I'll make a lodgement of about 1.5million (My monthly salary is actually 180k) and leave it there while my salary and expenditure continue as normal up to the point of visa application. Afterall they can't know since I'll be showing them 6 months only. What do you think?

From your narration (and with the mention of "leave to remain" ), it is obvious that he obtained a visa by fishy means and plans to stay in the UK with it, and i think the immigration officers at the point of entry suspect his motive.
Now, as he is being held at an international port of entry, it is impossible for any UK or Nigerian solicitor to intervene because, technically, he is neither within the UK nor Nigerian jurisdiction: only a UN body can intervene

Exactly. that was what we thought as well. but he provided all the documents required before he got his visa. C of O. Landed properties, marriage certificate and his child's birth cert just to prove his coming back. but he didnt carry along any of the documents with him yesterday. do u think he should have gone with it or just leaving it here in the country was right? is there any risk pertaining to it if he carries the docs?

what advice can you render? how should he go about it?
His Mum might collapse if he is bn sent back.
