Hey all

Apologies i have been away, not been well had 2 weeks of sick from my work with really bad anxiety, all well now though.

Im nearing for hubby to submit which is next month (jeez that seems weird saying next month ha ha)

Few questions:

i) Does hubby need a copy of our marriage certificate to submit in Nigeria, since I have it in the UK with me and Ikoyi wont issue a copy?

ii) My payslips are all online, they have the company logo etc, do I need these to be stamped too? (I am supplying payslips from April 2014 to the most recent) My bank have agreed to stamp my online ones, but did say HO should accept them.

iii) What is the website address to start the application?

iiii) Please can you advise me of what happens once hubby has filled out the application online, and is it worth to pay for the priority service?

Thank you

Karen

anyone? @Justwise?

Hi, If you want to include resignation letter and co , you can, but what is more important is your offer letter from the new company, letter of introduction from the new company stating that you are their staff and that you are approved to go on leave at the time you said you would travel.Though flags will be raised on how you are already entitled to annual leave when you have not worked up to 6 months.

If i may ask, do u have an expired visa or have you been to the UK, before now,cos your questions seems to that of a first timer.I hope you know for u to apply for 5 years Visa, you must have been issued and u have used a 6 months and probably 2 years visa.

I am not a first timer, my two years visa expired in July this year.as regards entitlement to leave - i switch job as an experience professional, having over 9 years working experience hence we agreed on some terms before i took up the offer.though it didnt occur to me that this might be an issue sha, do u think i should get any supporting letter from the coy clearing this doubt?

1. Not necessary since you will be submitting it from the UK.

2. No need for a stamp as they carry all the info needed for verification.

3.https://www.gov.uk/apply-uk-visa

4. I don't think priority service is needed here as spouse visa application takes average of 3 months. He needs to submit the application online and offline as well. The same online form need to be printed out signed and taken to visa centre for submission together with all the documents he submitted online and his biometric details will be taken. He will be given an appointment date after submitting online.

pls need advice.
I hv a valid 2yr visiting uk visa which I got late last yr...and also used for a 2wk visit.
now I intend to go for a 6months course......am I free to do that?...what do I say at the point of entry?
am wondering if its legal to use the visiting visa to attend a course/training/school for 6months

One other point to note, your entry on your Visa cannot exceed 6 months @ a single entry.

@Justwise,please can u respond to the email i sent u this morning.Thanks.

Your letter of employment is very important and letter of introduction from your new employer,those 2 should be easy to get. Also you know your 6 months payslip,4 from your current employer and 2 from the previous one

]Hello every one i need your Advice
Last year november i apply for a uk visa, i was a student and run my own personal business, i submitted all documents to back that up, thou they agreed i was a student but i was refused based on the fact that my total balance doesnt reflect my income(though my account was not organized)
I reapplied a week later and was refused based on the fact that i didnt state what i will be doing whilst in the Uk with my time, no proper intenary and that i didnt state where i have been buying my goods before i decide to go and buy in the uk( i actually gave them receipt of purchased goods and i stated that i have traved to Dubia)
After that i waited for a year... Here are my issues
My uncle runs a show every year in the Uk and i want to go with them this time.
He said i can join them ,and that he will give me a work position with his crew..
Now my question is?
How do i address my previous refusal prior to this recent circumstances
Do i state that i am a graduate now and i work with xyz company now
Wont dey be borthered of my previous business?
Or state that i work with xyz company as part time and still run my business, because someone is managing it for me while i will be away... Please i need your urgent answer or suggestions[/quote]

That will put you in a very bad light, you can't possibly depend that considering the fact that you have a record already with the embassy.

Your application is sounding too desperate and you are likely going to get another refusal. The situation with your uncle is just an arrangement because in real sense you are not part of the crew neither are you a qualified make-up artist.

justwise,uuspace and vicjustice,so should the letter of intro state this negotiation as a reason why am being allowed to go on vacation b4 the mandatory 6 months periodthe HR manager wants me to advise him on how to state the letter without bringing any issue to my application.

If you are not less than 16yrs of age, why are so interested in knowing. Sha take it easy. Order is better than speed

ok great, thank you.

You must be tired of me keep asking similar things, its not long now 1st week of November

Im off to Lagos on 14th-21st October which initially i booked with Iberia however i had to cancel as my work cancelled my holiday, then they decided i could have the holiday so now I'm going via Virgin Atlantic which my airmiles covered the ticket cost having just to pay the taxes
so flight direct was just £299 ( taxes) then visa £297 and this time I've decided to take advantage of my position as a travel consultant and managed a great deal at the Apartment Royale hotel & Suites in Ikeja

So damn excited, just waiting for my passport to be returned with my Nigeria visa

Nice! I can see you are a gunner.

3. Yes you can because you are traveling together.

4. Yes you have to.
