- did u get a response after this generic mail & what was the average time frame

passionup:
Hello everyone, I intend to submit a TRV application soon with my family. I am the sole sponsor and while filling the form, there is a question on funds available for the trip. Since I had stated the funds available in my own application form, should I repeat same amount on my wife's application? I need guidance here. Also, for my kid of 5years, would he need biometric capture when submitting his form and does he need to be present at the submission centre? kindly help with answers guys. Thank you in advance

mesh2003:


Its the general email they send to you once you send an email. if they will answer you, you will receive an email after this. I also got this when I sent them an email.

At this point you can send them an email. I applied for my mum online on May 10th. Sent an email 2x and CSE form. I got passport request form this morning after I sent an email yesterday. They replied that I will receive a passport request message shortly.

mesh2003:


Anyone between the age of 14 and 79years don't need to give biometrics. I don't know about being present for submission. you can share the bulk amount and put on each application but on your affidavit of support and letter of explanation, you can quote the full amount as money available for the trip and its a family trip. They know already.

hi mesh2003, on the contrary, the age bracket mentioned above MUST provide bio-metrics.

dear passionup, you wouldnt want to stress yourself so take your child along. for the amount, you can apportion the money whatever way you want in your statement of purpose as the very primary applicant (i assume its a family application) stating the total and how it will be spent in full details. make sure not to budget everything in your account as the VO may worry that you have nothing to fall back on back home and may consequently point him to think you plan not to return home. you can state you plan to bear the entire financial burden and your wife and child have zero cost implication on this trip. a family application is a holistic approach and your qualification will most likely qualify them but of course, this is at the full discretion of the VO. best of luck.

My bad. Was at work. anyone less than 14 years and over 79 don't need to give biometrics.

@MESH2003 AND JAWA,
Few questions about ONLINE APPLICATION SUBMISSION-
1. DO I NEED TO SCAN AND UPLOAD ALL SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS DURING THE APPLICATION.
2. DOES IT MATTER THE NUMBER OF PAGES, LIKE THE BANK STATEMENTS, LANDED PROPS, LEASE AGREEMENT, MARRIAGE CERT, SHARE DOCS, OFFICE LETTER, SOP AND THE LIKES.
3. IS THERE A ROOM FOR LATER DATE UPLOAD?
4. DO I ALSO PAY FOR BIOMETRICS OR THAT WILL BE LATER AT VAC.
5. DO I ALSO SCAN AND UPLOAD OTHER "IMM" DOCS SAME TIME?

Thanks for the speedy response as usual...

Hmmmm!!! @MESH2003... you know you are now my e-friend, hope you won't leave us to our fate now that our prayers have been granted. I do draw from the abundance of your Canada visit wisdom. Thanks and God bless us all.

Hi everyone,

sorry to hear about your refusal. I think this is just a funny one and a crazy VO that handled your file. I invited my sister 2 years ago as a student. I mentioned on the invitation letter that I would only provide her with accommodation. I didn't put anything even proof of address. I just sent her my study permit copy and passport page.
I invited my mum in May, Because I mentioned that I would provide her with accommodation and feeding for her one month stay in Canada, I put my one month pay stub. No bank statement.
I think you should have provided at least paystub from your host. My advice is that you reapply asap as your refusal reason is minor and include his/her paystub or bank statement.

Jawa, pls I need your advise. Pls what are my chances if I apply now in Nigeria? Or should I go to the US first and apply when am back to Nigeria. Pls what do you think.

Hi everyone,

I have been a silent reader, following the trail of conversations. Great to be on this informative and wonderful platform.

I applied for my TRV on the 3rd of May, 2017 through the online application and had my biometrics on the 4th of May, 2017 at the Lagos VFS office.

Got a refusal message yesterday from the VO in Accra Ghana stating "that i have not provided sufficient documentation to support my hosts income and assets.

My question goes like this, while filing my application, i had stated that I will be sponsoring myself, which I provided my account balance of 1.5 million naira for a vacation of 14 days. Purpose of visit as tourism(stated the places that I would be visiting), Introduction letter from my company, letter of explanation, pay slip for the past 4 months, tax payments, travel itinerary etc.

Since I'm working and sponsoring my self, should i have attached my hosts income and assets?

I didn't include my hosts income, since the reason for my visit is on tourism purposes, therefore I should be financially okay to sponsor my trip.

I had informed them in my application that my host is my friend and that I will be staying in my hosts apartment during my 14 days visit. A letter of invitation as well as my hosts permanent residence permit was included in my application.

I'm so sad right now, thought I was gonna get the visa.
