damola1: Tickets wouldn't completely go to waste. If you still plan to travel, you can claim 'no show', and pay some cash and get on another flight... 1 Like |

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 |

kokoboy4life: 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. |

I was here some weeks ago to have a feel of timelines when my family members passports seems to be held up somewhere in Sheffield, and it was hindering their applications for Canada visas too. Well. Out of 4 people that submitted together in June... one got her visa in August, the other 3 just got their visas last week. It took almost 5months! They now all have their trips booked for christmas. Na real wa. Now i can also finally send in their renewal apps for Canada visas too. Una thank you ooo UKvisas. 1 Like |

[quote author=PreciousGemRubb post=61497256][/quote] My understanding is to try to include proof of facts stated in an application, that's why I suggested that for your grandma 1. I don't live in the U.K. so I have no idea of the cost of living or how much will be ok for sponsorship. I reckon it'd be high sha, given that there's 2 of them. Maybe Justwise, ekpotek and Brightingus can help here. P.S. Must they both visit together tho'? 2. Include a copy of your visa, your bank statement, marriage certificate and those bills. Remember your folks will need hard copies ( i.e. print out) of all your documents to take along with their own documents to the submission appointment. 3. You mean you want them to submit separately, as in different appointments? Since they must fill separate application forms, they can of course submit separately, but I don't think I understand why you want them to do that? They'd still trace both applications to you as their sponsor anyways. Let them submit together joooor. Include their marriage certificate too. 4. Include dad's property documents 5. This settles the grandma issue. Your sibs staying with her while your parents are away is perfect. No need for documents on where they'll stay (what would those docs be sef?), just to state in the cover letter they'll be staying with mum/dad's? mother. Their birth certificate is necessary as proof of them as dependants/ties in Nigeria. Your friend's mum's refusal is the reason why I said you should EMPHASISE that you're sponsoring them FULLY and the trip is at no cost to them personally. Their bank statements with insufficient funds is at risk of being misconstrued, when it really is just meant to be another proof of home ties (occupation/pension). Make sure they answer "NO COST" to the question of "what is the cost of this trip to you (applicant) personally". Those ECOs can be silly at times. That's why they should be careful in filling out the application forms and include additional information in the space provided or include a detailed cover letter. If they present a well packaged application, it should be a walk in the park because of their age. Good luck! |

shanga: How do you intend to explain your absence from your home country for 18 months as a business owner? who had been running the business in your absence? what have you been doing in those places for those periods and what type of visas were you on during those stay? These are the Questions you WILL HAVE TO ANSWER except you are not planning to use/attach that passport that carries those travel history/immigration stamps |

Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by inphoenix: 4:33pm On Oct 17, 2017 |
feranmi84: Check your email, I replied your PM. I "asterisked" the part in your cover letter where you mentioned collecting rent. Did you state that you have additional income/side job in your application ni? Be careful of inconsistencies o! I also noticed you mentioned having a family. Ensure that you include birth certificate and marriage certificate too. Please endeavour to feed us back here. I am hopeful you'll get the visa this time. Good luck! |

Hello guys, Can anyone tell me whether an NPC attestation of birth, is acceptable to UKVI. I submitted one with my application but the ECO refused me entry clearance on the basis that I did not provide a Birth Certificate, making me wonder if they don't recognise the NPC attestation of birth document. |

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. |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by iyatrustee(f): 9:27pm On Oct 17, 2017 |
Darla: Google Remita, click on pay a biller or make payment. Type in the fed agency name, how much you are paying, description of payment, payer name etc. Then generate code. You have the option of card payment of bank internet to make payment |

In addition to this, please note it was an agent dat filled the form for me, lessons learnt, those agents are some thing else, we have to be careful when using dem. still waiting for your advice on this babygirl91: |

nairaking1:Of course it is and sometimes it could actually work against an applicant.. I've done super priority and the decision took longer than when I did standard service |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by ekpotek: 9:01am On Oct 18, 2017 |
babygirl91: 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. |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by babygirl91: 10:38am On Oct 18, 2017 |
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: |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by ekpotek: 11:13am On Oct 18, 2017 |
babygirl91: 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. 1 Like |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by babygirl91: 12:01pm On Oct 18, 2017 |
Alright then, thanks much. Really appreciate. But I am thinking 1000pounds. That should be fine right? ekpotek: |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by ekpotek: 12:35pm On Oct 18, 2017 |
babygirl91: 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. |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by babygirl91: 1:01pm On Oct 18, 2017 |
Okay, thanks. God bless ekpotek: |

Good afternoon Justwise & Co. I applied for Administrative Review in September and I received a message from the Administrative Reviewer that they are currently conducting further checks on my application. Please what does this mean? I applied for Tier 5 charity worker visa which was refused because the ECO said my sponsor does not provide the mission statement of the charity and also that my sponsor did not confirm I am not filling a permanent position but I submitted employment letter that confirms a temporary appointment. Thanks |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by toscott: 1:19pm On Oct 18, 2017 |
Hello house. Please in applying for a tier 2 dependant visa for my family, how long must I have lived in a family accommodation before applying for them? I currently stay in a shared accommodation in the UK and I wish to apply for them early February next year. When would it be advisable to me to move into a family accommodation? Is there even a requirement for how long I must have stayed at a family accommodation(for instance a 2bedroom apartment for a family of 4)before applying to bring them? Thank you all for the anticipated prompt responses. |
