A lot of people have given you a very honest advice, you made a mistake by denying that you have someone in the UK, you should have said yes and point out that you will not be staying with them.
You will not be doing your next visa application any good if you stayed more than 6 days as you indicated. Stick to your original plan

princenonny:
justwise I agree with everything you said except the 6days stay. my first application I said I would stay 10 days bt my plans changed and I stayed 2 months. after which I returned to nigeria. I applied for a new visa and I got it too. so provided you dont exceed 6months u can stay as long as you want

Hello again. This is really a helpful forum. My question is, does the UK embassy consider personal bank loans as proof of fund? It is clear from the bank statement that said loan was approved ans deposited to my friend's current account. Partial amount was then transferred to her savings account. The initial deduction in March is also clear from the statement. Thanks

Thanks for the good work you guys are doing on this forum. I need you advice on my travel trip. I have been granted spouse visa with work permitted and will be travelling by end of the month.
My questions are:
1 I have booked a one way ticket, is there a problem with that?
2 Apart from my TB test that expired during the application process with me , do I still need any vaccination certificate?
Please bear in mind that i have not travelled to Lome not to talk of UK and I dont want to get caught up with any issue.

rochf10:
I see, but my friend still has sufficient fund even without the loan just so happened that it was approved early and she had to deposit half of it in her account one month before we applied. Thanks

Hello Justwise,
Kudos to you and everyone contributing positively on uk visa success on this thread.
Please a quick one Sir, I trade and introduce people to trade on the foreign exchange market,(FOREX) I applied for a training in the uk (training fee paid,hotel and flight) also I got an invitation from the institution that is training me in the uk and recommendation letter to uk from my institution here in Nigeria for the training and I use my own company as sponsoring company for the trip,as a trader i don't consistently run my bank account but keep generating more money in my forex account by way of earning commission on people referred so as a result of that,my company account doesnt have good balance currently and I dont want to lodge money from forex account of $5000 to my bank account so that they wont count it as a lodgement..
QUESTION IS - can I print out my forex account statement to support my bank balance to be use for the trip OR withdraw money from forex account and transfer it to bank and show evidence of transfer or lodgement?

N.B Im going to uk for further training as delegate member from institute here in Nigeria,all expense paid

PLEASE would appreciate prompt response as my biometrics is tomorrow.

It will be best for you to apply in Egypt, I was going to study in Estonia before changed my mind and chose UK. Book a cheap h otel or bed and breakfast close to the embassy, when you submit the application you can travel back to nigeria and you will be notified if the application is successful or not, if it is you have to travel back to get the visa affixed to your passport, you can also decide to stay and wait for the result but can take up to 2 months . Pls notethis info were all I gathered in the year 2013, certain procedure may have changed. Contact the embassy in Egypt or better still call them.

Do you really think that the UK is closest and cheaper than Other countries?

Ebenezer777:
@Justwise,thanks sir for your reply, the forex account statement is not commercial bank statement, you mean I can print it and add it to my corporate bank statement without moving the fund from forex account to bank..Hope i will stand a chance of getting visa with that? please share more light on this..Because I hope to come and share my success story here to help others in my category. plsss revert

chimaamaechi17:
In terms of flight ticket nd its proximity to Estonia, yes l think so.

In my work we trade currencies,oil,gold,stock,im a forex trader and also introduce traders to trade forex and earn commission for referral and for each time they trade I earn commission ,sometimes in a month I realize about $5,000usd or sometimes 3000$usd depending on trade activities for the month,so the statement is forex account statement.
So the question is Can I withdraw money from my forex account to Bank or leave the money there and print out my forex statement and add it to my company bank account for my application? Hope you understand now sir?

One way ticket is perfectly ok.

No you don't need any other vaccination certificate.

ty01:

You are free to spend as many days as indicated on your VISA (typically 180 days at a go for UK) and not the number of days filled while submitting your application for processing.

That is a lawyers answer!
If you state that you are visiting for severn days, then stay for three months. You will have some very hard questions to answer when you next try to renew your visa. VO will think that you lied to them.
