@ brightingsus. I was the sponsor there was no son mentioned in the application. This was an error from the ukvi. Yeah I do agree her totally monthly income was not good, i didn't realise when filling the form.

They said my mom has dependent who she gives money to this is wrong she has no dependent, she earns N200.000 equivalent to £430 so she spend £280 a month she doesn't have any dependent all her children are grownup. Is only her and my dad

Yes my account balance had £8,000.00 I included 6 months bank statement showing my income my British passport, sponsorship later and other relevant information. moms had N700,000 in her bank statement was also included
If I reapply saying she has no dependent?

I'm thinking of reapplying don't know if it will be too soon. Should I leave it for 6 months before applying? Thanks

Hello everyone, I have. Been following this trend for all over 3 months. I have been silent. Made an application for 6 months visitors visa for my mom.
biometrics was done since 14/6/17 I only got a decision 8/9/17 nearly three months.

I was really disappointed my mom was refused. I was sponsoring the application. I did say she has £500 as her own spending money. Unfortunately my own income wasn't not taking into consideration. It was only my moms. I did offer to spend £1500
To support her

I want some advice please I am thinking of reapplying. I want to fully sponsor this time
I'm not sure if is a good idea to reapply immediately?
My bank statement has £ 8,00.00 in it my moms has N700.00
I included all required supporting documentation.
I really do not know that her account was going to be use in making a decision. As I thought I was the sponsor
My mom is 64

I will be attaching the refusal latter
I need some advice in future application please
Many thanks

From the refusal letter, there must be something wrong in what was filled in the online application form. I will suggest that if you have access to application form that was submitted, review the section that has to do with funding of trip, who is funding what, family and dependent details etc. The refernce to dependent could have arise if the applicant entered all her children (grown up) as dependents!

Yes you can reapply immediately if you think the ECO made an error and point it out in a cover letter.

Yeah sorry, I was thinking you were male. It might be an error while filling the online application. Take the advice from @Ekpotek. Look at the application form if you have a copy. It could be that your mum's children were mentioned as dependants. There is a part that asked for children that depended on the applicant.

If you had done full sponsorship, N700,000 is more than enough a balance for your mum. I did full sponsorship for my mother inlaw who is also 64 years old. She only had N140,000 in her account. She got visa in 3 weeks. This was last month.

We both were of the impression that she had to earn 18,000 a year and it only increases if I was bringing my own kids along. Could you please clarify?

Does she work and earn at least £27,000 a year or have that amount in savings?[/quote]

Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by Nobody: 1:06am On Sep 20, 2017
Another long time decision that makes me think that if your April location spends more than normal in ukvi its a refusal sign imagine after three months. Their was this guy's case that was decided three weeks after application but was sent a decision mail after three months which was also negative.still observing my wife' and daughter apps still with them since July 17

Hello Oga Brightingsus can you please help me with this issue. Please



august house,

My auntie was refused a Uk visa in April because the counselor claims My Uncle in the Uk inviting her couldn't prove enough ties to her to show his motivation for inviting her. Question is How do we prove that?

Secondly we now want my younger uncle (locally based) to now sponsor her as he is also well to do (Managing director of a reputable bank) and owns several landed properties. Question 2-How feasible is that?

My Auntie works with the Non formal eduactional sector and earns N121996.77 (taken some loans so ends up with N77264.62 monthy now)
Question 3.. Does he chance of getting a UK tourist visa if we are to reply look bright and feasible?

Paste the refusal letter here, but cross out your personal details like name and application ref. This is the way we can actually understand the refusal. Telling us a summary of the refusal in your own words can't really say much.

Just to further help you juxtapose, see your uncle as Mr A and your aunt as Mrs B and yourself as a community judge. You being completely neutral with no background knowledge of Mr A or Mrs B and based on the info presented before you (documents submitted to show relationship ties), do you have a strong reason to believe Mr A and Mrs B are related? Also is there a justifiable reason why Mrs B needs to visit Mr A

Since you have stated that she earns an income, you have to provide documentary evidence eg shop permit, biz reg, statmnt of acct, receipt of purchase/payments etc. even if you reapply for her as you been the sole sponsor.

You can reapply anytime but you need to defend her previous refusal as much as possible then your presentations must also be tight.

All the best

1. Okay, with her Indefinite leave visa, study or not studying, she will need to earn £18,600 or more to sponsor you. Please visit the Nairaland UK spouse thread for other requirements

2. Your financial status is irrelevant. All you need is a TB test certificate, Degree certificate, marriage certificate, payment for the NHS surcharge and other documents to establish the relationship.

3. No irrelevant
I have gathered all my docs what I don't have is a degree certificate i only have a waec certificate what can I do in this case

The degree certificate is just a proof that your study was undertaken in English. You may need to take an English language test if you do not have a degree.

To be honest, you're not likely to get a visit visa to the UK. Misrepresentation in any form is unacceptable. The Irish embassy shares immigration information with the UK embassy as they operate a common border treaty. This means that you can easily slip into Ireland from the UK without border checks. So the likelihood of Ireland passing your passport data to the UK is very high, especially when you have to disclose the refusal in your UK application form.

Use the additional info section of the applation form to address anything that needs clarificarion. You can use a separate sheet like a letter (written in ink) for more indept explanations since the section for additional info is limited to a number of characters.

Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by buddiemm: 10:19pm On Sep 20, 2017
Good evening everyone in the house. I applied for Tier 5 Charity Worker visa and had my Biometrics and Oral interview on August 25, 2017. I once studied in the UK.
I submitted the following documents for my application:

1) Appointment Letter containing my certificate of sponsorship number.

2) Marriage Certificate with pictures.

3) Application form and my passport.

4) Sponsor note that was sent to me by my sponsor to indicate change of passport number on the UKVI website which indicated that my previous passport number was mistakenly used to generate the CoS but was corrected on UKVI website by my sponsor and I also wrote it in the additional information page on my application form.

But when I collected my package today I find the refusal letter with the following contents in my application. Justwise, Ekpotek, Blessedgeorgeus, Brightingsus and all other gurus in the house please come to my aid because I want to do the review. Justwise, Ekpotek, Brightingsus please respond as I need to send the administrative review. Thanks

Hello everyone, I'm new here and I need to ask questions. I was refused visit visa on June 16th and reason was that I was not able to explain sources of funfs that entered my account. I reapplied and addressed that issue and was able to submit on June 22nd. Biometrics was done on July 3rd. Got a mail August 8th stating that they are not able to meet up with the 15days deadline. Got another mail that states that my application isn't straight forward. I sent a mail to their complaints email and kinda summarised my application and also expressed my displeasure in the nicest way I could. Then I got a mail from TLS 2 days after saying that decision has been made.

My questions are;
Is it strange not to get a mail from Sheffield that a decision has been made before TLS sent theirs??

Also I can see on the TLS website that my passport is ready for collection but I haven't gotten an email so can I just go to the centre to collect it??

Lastly is it possible my mail made them respond quickly??

Will appreciate swift responses as my heart is abt to fall out of my chest ( scared of the decision made)


Have you been sent a collection mail?
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by buddiemm: 8:01am On Sep 21, 2017

The older uncle is the youngest brother of my aunties mother who happens to be in the UK.


2. What docs were used to prove the relationship?
nothing was used to prove because we didn’t actually know how to go about this therefore we are please hoping you’d help us with how.Thank you sir

3. What is he purpose of the UK visit?
Family visit cum tourism

4 We want to see the refusal letter, remember to cross out delicate details like name and application ref.

Its not actually my younger cousin but rather My aunties direct younger brother,her backborn sibling. They share the same mother and same father.


Thank you so much Mr. Brightingsus. I really appreciate how you are taking time to help.
