Tickets wasted. Didn't go

Thanks. My grandma doesn't have a medical condition, it's just that she is elderly and frail really. She has no birth certificate so I think I will not add that as a tie.
1.I want them to come for 2 weeks only during the school holiday, hopefully this December/January so is £2,500 ok for both of them (to fully sponsor them) with a salary of £1,500 per month.
2.Am on tier 2 visa. I have all my docs from council bills,payslips,utility bills,tenancy agreement, employment letter.
3. I am thinking of applying for them separately (not as a unit) but at the same time. Don't want one application to affect the other. What do you think?
4. Dad got landed property, mum not yet?
5. Got 4 siblings and 2 are underaged but 1 is in the university and the other in sec.school. Do they need to state where my siblings will be when they travel to the UK.
They will be staying at my granny's. Do my parents need any docs to support that.
Thanks ( never thought about my siblings birth certificates).
P.S: Sorry for the questions-my friend's mum was refused a visitor's visa because she was assessed alone even when my friend stated she will be fully sponsoring her. The reason was that my friend's mum has insufficient funds for the trip.


1. One letter should suffice, just state there that you are inviting and sponsoring as well. Put the 2 as the heading sef.

2. Yes different letters, their circumstances are not the same, one is retired and one still in service. Hopefully they submit as a unit, but advisable they print their documents separately

3. Both, but since you are sponsoring them fully, be sure they fill that in the application forms. If the ECOs spot their account statements, he could ignore your account statement/sponsorship and concentrate on their account statement instead particularly if it isn't well funded to wrongfully justify a refusal

4. Just payslips

5. Either is fine

6. Please have them state all these in their cover letter. Mum would need a letter of introduction from work and possibly the school calendar. Include your siblings birth certificates too especially if they're underage. And documents of landed property if any

7. Depends on how long are they staying and how much would their trip cost you personally. Remember it is full sponsorship which means travel/flight tickets are included. Although, I don't think they are as strict with U.K. resident sponsorship as with self/Nigerian 3rd party sponsorship.

8. Mention alternative care for her in their cover letter(s), but "rest from caring for granny" sha? I dunno about that one o! Lol

Other documents 1. Siblings' birth certificates 2. Mum's Introduction from work 3. Grandma's birth certificate? passport data page? Or hospital card or any document to prove her status 4. Dad's retirement certificate/letter 5. Sponsor's passport data page 6. Sponsor's utility bill 7. Sponsor's bank Statement 8. Sponsor's birth certificate to prove relationship with parents from names 9. Sponsor's birth certificate because of the change of name?

Can't think of any more documents now, there could be more...

That mean you present company bank statement of account.

Jarus:


I didn't present any bank statement.

It's an oil and gas company. We also have an office in the UK. Just letter of introduction that they will pay the entire costs.
Submitted my 3-year tax clearance certificate though, that shows my incomes and taxes paid in the last 3 years.

Didn't need to submit any bank statement.

Good morning house, I recently applied for a 6 months visa which I got and I traveled. I'm back now and want to apply again (valid reason). My brother who lives in the UK and is the one I visited said I should apply for a 2 years visa instead of 6 months.
My ogas in the house,based on your experiences,should I follow his advice? Thank you

bakamuna:
guys, wanted to ask a quick question, i applied for 5 standard 6 months visas ( family with 3 kids) got mine and 1 kids visa but the others not yet received, what could possibly the delay be ?

ok update, got the rest of the visa today afternoon,

shanga:
Good day everyone in the house
I have been reading comment on the platform and gaining experience despite I am not ready to visit the UK.
But I plan to visit the UK this February and my cousin’s wife is going to send me the invitation, because my brother do not have British passport but has work permit in the UK for 4 years now.
I registered a car and spare parts business Nig.Ent 2 years ago and I have been running the account ever since I registered it. I currently have 5 million naira in my business account.
Also, I have been paying myself 220 thousand naira for two months now and I want to continue doing that for the next 4 months before I apply.

I am doing this because I want to apply with my saving account and I don’t want to get my business involved, I feel like involving my business will make me spend more like tax clearance ad require other document I cannot provide, I have not paid for tax since I registered the firm, I registered this firm solely because it will be easy for me to apply for business or visit visa, the firms it’s not functional.

Please my main concern right now is that, in the past three years I have spent just one year and six months in Nigeria, I spend 9 months in south Africa and I am currently in Kenya, I will be in Nigeria this December and I intent to stay back in Nigeria till I have six months’ salary in my savings before I apply.

Please I need expert advice from the Gurus in the house to please advise me on the best step to take to enable my visa be granted.
Thanks a million as I await your advice. God bless you guys for your help.

Good evening to everyone, I submitted my application on 26th of sept and I got message today that decision has been made and I did standard Visa application process. I am a bit panic they attended to my application quickly, I need someone to enlighten me on this.

feranmi84:


I did not deposit huge amount in my account and wish to reapply and point out the ECO's error like you said. But want to know if reapplying immediately won't be a sign of desperation.

2. Moreover, If I decide to reapply immediately, should I submit same leave/introduction letter (02/10/17 to 31/10/17) or get another one with new dates.
Thank you.

Hello everyone, I'm not sure if this is the right place to post but does anyone know the GIFMIS code for the Ministry of foreign affairs? I'm trying to generate a remita code online for the payment for the authentication of docs. I understand it's a 10-digit PIN, I have tried contacting the ministry without much success, can't go in person because I'm in Europe.
Please help!
Thank you.

If you're planing on reapplying what ECO want to see is evidences of major deposits in your bank account that is outside your salary and amounted to the over N1 million svaings. Secondly obviously £300 can not support a 2 week visits which include flights tickets for 2, etc. Adjust your budget and address the issues raised by ECO with supporting documents in a cover letter.

babygirl91:
Thanks for your response, the account issue is from my sponsor side, the ECO meant dat he did not see d transfer of 500k on her bank statement. And dat was because she used her local account to make the transfer, but we submitted her uk bank statements . So she is ready to provide the bank statement reflecting the transfer. But what I am still not sure about is, can I just change the amount I want to spend on the trip? What will be my reason for putting 300 pounds in d first application. This agent has spoilt everything for me. Sure I will write a letter but will I need to put a reason why I suddenly changed the amount I want to spend on the trip? Won't it look too desperate. Thanks

ekpotek:


So far you the cost of the trip in your account. You are free to update that section. Since you have proof of the 500K transaction include it. Just explain to ECO that you made a honest mistake when computing cost due to you. So carefully compute the cost for a two week trip. Also compute what amount your sponsor will give beside accommodation and feeding.

babygirl91:
Alright then, thanks much. Really appreciate. But I am thinking 1000pounds. That should be fine right?

ekpotek:


I seriously doubt if £1000 pound can cover the flight tickets for two. Check with airline or www.cheapflights.com. Compute the amount and added say £200 for unexpected expenditures. This will be the cost to you. £1500-£2000 should be reasonably which is about N900K out of over 1.5M in your account.
