Guys pls help. I don’t have a habit of leaving money in my account. 6months statement shows and defends my salary but I’ll rather save the excess. So I’ve a balance of about 60k but savings enough to cover the trip. Does my balance matter ?
@justwise pls

Yes balance matters but it doesn't have to be in your salary account

From their 'contact us' details it says there's a charge for both calls and email enquiries. I'm a bit confused. Is that the norm?


Unfortunately yes

@justwise

Please assist with your opinion on this. I submitted my UK visa application. My printed bank account statement had 7 months salary (but was for 6months), because 1month was paid late in the month, and it appeared when i printed my 6months statement, however I forgot to submit the payslip (as I only submitted payslips for 6Months). Do you think the source of this would be questioned, because this was the second transaction on the printed statement? Being that I receive monthly salary from my firm and my firm's name always appear as the sender.. thanks.

I doubt that, you submitted 6months bank statement and payslip that should be ok

Thanks a lot.. also does it matter if I apply days after my salary is paid? Would that be seen as lodgment?

As a business owner, Is it compulsory I add incorporation company documents to my application.

Lastly, the cover letter that states I’m the owner of the business and also spells out my salary, who signs it ? Cos I don’t have an HR person yet. It’s still a 1 man limited liability company.

You can't convince the ECO that you pays yourself a salary as a sole business owner. Visa wise that makes no sense, in one man business winner takes it all.. what you make is profit and not salary.

Spending more than 2months of his salary will not help his application, let him look for a cheaper ticket so as to reduce the overall cost

Thanks. Appreciated

I have not, i was just waiting for the 15 working days processing period to elapse and that is tomorrow. But, did you call them?
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by bigtt76(f): 12:37pm On Mar 20, 2019
Each Visa application is reviewed on its own merit. Landed property is good proof to ties but not seen as a savings or source of income. So you need to submit proof to show that your cost for the holiday is not more than your 2 months salary or income. I would also advise you go through the pages here as there are several such family applications.

Present, mine was even 25th Feb. Went there today to check and was told to wait for mail cos is not ready meanwhile UK immigration call centre said they have despatched. TLS is very useless, incompetent and whatever English it is they deserve it. Tracking zero, appointment zero every thing about them zero. Don't know y UK is using them VFS is far better than them.

Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by eduson33(m): 5:54pm On Mar 20, 2019
I've followed this thread for a while and have realized that a lot of people here were being denied visa.
please pardon my English but I have a suggestion.

why don't our people think of alternatives.(just my one cent. please don't criticize me o)
many people applying for visas on here have got at least 1m to 2m.

why not some of you come together and think of a very good business investment.
Two is better than one they say.

Draft good investment or business idea. put this money together and invest back home or alternatively invest in countries like UAE(Dubai) where you can easily get a 10 years residence permit as an investor and you can actually get your business license with as little as 3 to 5M within 1month at max and that give you 10 years residence permit. run the business for a while and then use your company documents to easily secure a visit visa from any other part of the world.
that s killing 2 birds with one stone, now you guys have a business making you money while you travel.
WORD IS CHEAP(DO YOUR RESEARCH BEFORE INVESTING IN ANY BUSINESS)
