I was thinking of submitting a one year statement so they can see the last annual salary, the money that has entered my account within this one year is about 16.5million naira, in my account history I have had huge sum of money like 5mill,2mill, 6mill and so on enter my account, so this 3mill isn't the first huge amount entering my account, I just felt they will look at the history of my account before determining if it's money lodgement or not, my account has a very good financial standing, the history is very good, so right now I'm just confused cos I don't know if they will still term it as money lodgement after seeing how good the history of my account has been for the past one year, even the 6months history is very good too but I thought of submitting one year so they can see my last annual salary.

justwise:


1. State it exactly how you did here.

2. Present both accounts

I and my children bear my husband middle name as our surname and not his own surname... Plz will the name affect us at the embassy? NOTE: my husband middle name is on his passport ooo

Stanleyelege:
Pls i need to be sure on this.

Does Uk , Canada and maybe Australia confirm an applicants account balance?

How possibe is it that they identify a forged statement of account cus i currently have an original and fake.

The fake became necessary after i discovered my acc balance was short so an agent created a forged one with adequate balance.

I havent lodged my application yet though

larronks:
Please I need your help, I was denied based on the fact that I wrote cost to me personally as 2000pounds n my statement of account did not show up to that, though I indicated that my husband was sponsoring the trip which dey said dey are satisfied with that, the only problem is d money in my account which is short of about 800pounds..... I want to reapply, can I maintain d same amount and credit my account or reduce d cost to me personally..... Your response please urgently

I'm planning on traveling to the uk to spend 3weeks for a family visit, I'm a director in a company but I haven't started getting income since it's fairly new, I have my tax clearance, c.a.c, T.I.N and statement of account for the company, I plan on spending from my wife's acct where I am also a signatory to this same acct for the past one year, and we have a balance of 3000,000 Naira in it, pls is this good enough?
P.S ...
Please everyone, I need your help, I wrote the IELTS test last year and my wife and I later decided not to relocate to the uk, now I want to apply for a standard visit visa and I do not know if I should mention it in my application that I wrote the spouse settlement English test IELTS last year but my wife decided not to relocate back to the uk, because she got a better job offer here as an expertrate, therefore I didn't have any need for the IELTS test result, or should I just skip this part on my application ? I don't want them thinking I'm running because I'm clearly not.

Heyofrizzle:


I really do appreciate this thread.
Speaking about ties, I was at the US Consulate in February, the consular asked me 5 qsts which I know I answered perfectly well.

1. Why am I going to the US?
And: A wedding
2. What's the relationship with d person am going to see?
Ans : Brother
3. Do I have any travelling experience?
And: Yes, South Africa, France, UAE
4. Am I married?
And: Yes
5. Do I have kids?
And: No

I was surprised after this he told me he was sorry he couldn't grant me a visa to his country and I asked him why would he do such a thing he said I wasnt able to demonstrate a tie with my country.

What was wrong there please?

hardeybaba:

I'm also into a monthly esusu which comes to #900k per contributor, can i attach that as well, but it will be paid by the different contributors once it is my turn
my contribution leaves my account monthly and its multiple on my turn

Good day,

Am a bonfide student in one university in Ireland, have paid school fees in full, lodged my living expenses in bank for the one year programme, secured a permanent accommodation and commenced lectures. I travelled to Uk from Ireland to pick up some things, was only asked for ID card and I presented such and was granted entry to UK. In Uk I encountered immigration and was asked to return to Nigeria and not Dublin because I didn't possess lawful document to enter. (made every effort for Dublin transit but was impossible as I was granted single entry which I have used when I entered Dublin). Came back to Nigeria and reapplied for entry visa with letters from school,my landlord and other documentations. The application came out refused with right of appeal because of IH-immigration history. Last year Uk restricted me (termed - deception) from making application of such category (except in other categories) for certain period because of Innocent mistake I made in UKBA application form. Despite the restriction from Uk I came clean with Dublin, told the whole story and they granted me student visa.

In your legal and expertise opinion, the appeal will be in written form, how may I address this Immigration History for a fair chance of the earlier decision reversal? Are you able to recommend an immigration lawyer or one knowledgeable to help me, I need one please.

Thank you and God bless. Keep up the good work.

Thank you Victjusice, i actually don't want to invite him for now for personal reason and he's aware about my reason. However, can he still use paid hotel during his stay? But my fear is they will see it on his application form that he claim he know someone in Ireland and our surname will definitely match. Even if he say he did not know anyone in Ireland, they may search the surname and will definitely bring out my surname to match his. Not sure if he can use hotel and at the same time claim he know someone here, but won't they say why can't he stay with the person he claim he know?

Thank you.

@vicjustice;
Ok, I got your point. The RSA is more than your assumption; its over N2M standing. Thanx for your response!!

AllBusiness:


Hello Vicjustice,

Is it possible to write a letter of accommodation for my biological when i am not inviting him. He just renewed his South Africa visa and wish to visit me in Ireland and then head to South Africa and back to lagos. He's working full time and has enough money to sponsor himself, but i and him concluded he shouldn't use hotel reservation because there is an option in the online application form where he will be asked if he know anyone here and there is no reason why he should lie by saying no, so he need to say yes, which is me, but i i'm not inviting him because i am not in a position to sponsor him. I am not working at the moment, but is it okay for me to offer him only accommodation letter with copy of my residency?

njajuru:

@Vicjustice, That's my question. Please provide me an insight.
Thank you!!

amakachigerry:
PLEASE URGENT!!! Please can the school in US that gave me admission be of any help in facilitating my acquiring a student visa when i have all the supporting genuine documents and the embassy still refuse to grant me a visa.

amakachigerry:

Also in your own thought, which embassy is better in granting visas? Abuja or Lagos?

amakachigerry:

Can reapply immediately or do i have to wait for some weeks or months. My session will be starting by August.
Finally, my supporting documents are bearing April dates, do i need a to get another documents with fresh dates when reapplying (Bank statements and letter of sponsorship).

7Alexander:

I did, I just had to read between the lines again.
You noted that i have to adequately convince the VO that I have ties and obligations that will make me return to Nigeria, My question is, how exactly do I do that?
I have no landed property. Single, though engaged. Employed. Have immediate family. Please advise me on how to go about the conviction. Thanks for your consideration. Cc worry359

Greetings to you Vicjustice, Justwise, worry 359 and others in this forum.

Please, for an already employed worker with both Salary and Retirement Savings Acount (RSA) but wish to quit job for further studies in Canada. Where will his RSA be helpful in presenting his financial strength and where/how would he make best use of his RSA during visa application.

Thank you as I await your professional advice.

@vicjustice and justwise. I want to apply for a canadian visit visa. But I'm having issues with the best way to go about the application process to avoid a refusal. I work in a company which is owned by my uncle, so I intend to state that my company is sponsoring my visit. Please what documents and procedures should i follow? I have four different bank accounts, but I intend building up one from now till October.

I beg to differ. This is not going to help. Unless he never plans to have his father file for permanent residence for him, this lie will be quickly found out. Why doesn't he just admit the lie now? Although that is a pretty huge omission.

teekay213:
well done for this platform.i have never travel out b4 but i want to live and work in us.how do i go about it?what document do i need?can i process the visa myself or do i need agent?thanks waiting for your reply.

nineteenth:
Thanks sir! I've learnt my lesson, the hard way.

The passport contains a passport number as well as the previous passport number. Some people here have such information on their passports too. Also, the passport was not used for any travelling purpose till it expired, I did not use it at any embassy. What do you think about this?

nineteenth:
Hello everyone,

I need your candid opinion on a burning issue which has been troubling me for some time now. I am really ashamed and remorseful of my actions, it was just the situation I found myself. I was once a footballer and once had an opportunity to travel to Europe for my footballing career but this did not work out as planned. I got a passport for this purpose where I did not use my real age, as advised by my coach and agent. I later dropped football and went back to school. Now I am done with my first degree and I intend going abroad for my masters degree. The old passport with my false age expired and I proceeded to the NIS office where I met an Immigration officer who assisted me and got me another passport after I did the Biometrics. I actaully paid him 100k for this. I really don't know if it was renewal or re-issue he did but this new passport has my real age and name which tally with my academic documents. The new passport has the old and new passport numbers written on it its data page. Now my question is, with the old number available on the passport, will the embassy verify and compare the information on the new and old passports?

Thanks for your useful contributions.

Good evening Vicjustice, Justwise and worry 359, please help me out,sometimes in 2014, I applied for a uk visa and was denied cause I used my uncle as my sponsor, and we made a mistake of not indicating how much he was going to spend on me for the trip.

Secondly, my friend's signature on his passport was different from the one on the invitation. These were the reasons for the first refusal.

In 2015, I applied again but was denied, it was stated that I did cash lodgement, for your information, the company I worked for had issues with the bank, so we stopped receiving salaries through that particular bank. He never allowed us to open another salary account, instead we collect salary by hand.

Meanwhile, whenever I received salary I always use my company as the depositor.


I have a company that has been registered since 2014, and I want to apply for uk visa.

Please can you be of guide on how to package my application?

Thank you as I await your response.
