Good morning everyone,

I'm new on here and I would need to be advised on this, I work in a company of 7 workers, 2months ago my salary was paid in cash into my bank account by the company and last month salary was transferred from the company's account.

I want to apply for UK visit visa in December 2016, how can I convince the VO about the salary deposited in cash?

Looking forward to reading your replies

Thanks

Please advised me

I am appalled at some of y'all's replies to people's posts. How difficult is it to be polite and courteous to strangers? Really! Even if you doubt the veracity of someone's story, calling the person a liar and being all crude and superior is not the right attitude. It speaks ill of your character and does nothing to belittle your victim's. Be courteous always. Peace.

How many days are you gonna be staying in the UK? You said for 6months please clarify that. Moreover, don't be too sure that you have filled the forms correctly, Let's see how u filled the financial part, like cost of trip to you personally etc, Moreso, Whts the closing balance on ur statement of account? Hope no lodgement ? If u have an ATM, and you claim you are ready to go on a trip to the UK, why not use ur ATM to make hotel booking so as to avert any problem that may affect ur application? Go to ur bank tell them at the customer service that you wanna use ur ATM for online transaction, you shall be given a form to fill and get a pin to use for online transactions, Simple as abc. After making the hotel booking, call the hotel to confirm reservation o!. Asper the undertaken issue, if you don't know what to write, ask google,just type "duties of a boutique owner/manager/ etc, just extract all u need from there, aiye o le man!. Finally, u need a CAC reg, tax clearance, receipts, invoices from suppliers or where u buy from, etc. Ask more question so you won't mess things up.

Hello house....please am traveling for my vacation in December....please when is the best time to start the visa application

fasttrack:
justwise. want to apply for uk visa will, is there any advantage of ikeja over vi. i think they always have a specific number of visa's they issue every day i guess. Regular family visitor's visa

The first part of your question relates to how to fill the form as a self-employed/business owner. Many previous posts have addressed this issue. Just go through a few previous pages.

On hotel issue, booking.com like agoda.com is good and reputable. The only issue here is that you have made the reservation with someone else's bank card even though not yet charged. Is the person traveling with you? If not, did he indicate that he was booking on behalf of someone else as required on booking.com? This is necessary because at the time of check-in, some hotels usually require presentation of the card you used to book if it had not been indicated that the booking was made on behalf rather than the guest himself to prove that you have not booked with a stolen card

If he had not indicated that the booking was made 'on behalf' as booking.com requires in such case, there is a risk that the internal review process of booking.com may subsequently throw up query of 'no nexus' between the traveler and cardholder's names though this is remote since you said they already sent a confirmation letter. You can also contact the hotel directly to confirm that they have your reservation

Oct is not bad time to start

Good day People, please I need your help, I wrote the IELTS test last year, my wife was initially planning to relocate back to the uk last year, he changed his mind later on when he had a good agreement with her ex on how to share custody of their child and she got a job with a great pay as an expertraite, now we want to visit the uk together and I do not know if I should indicate on my cover letter that I wrote the test, I don't want them thinking I'm running away cos clearly I'm not running away and I want to be as transparent as possible, secondly, I run two businesses, I haven't started getting a salary from one and the other business, I transfer money whenever I need money, please how do I go about explaining it in my application because I heard I must be earning a salary to apply, please advise me on what to do, Thank you all in advance.

1. What was the IELTS for?
The IELTS was one of the requirement for the spouse settlement visa that I wanted to apply for early last year but plans changed when my spouse reached an agreement with her ex husband on the custody of their child they have together and she also got a good job in Nigeria so we decided not to relocate until her contract expires

2. Is any of your businesses registered and you pay tax on your earnings?

TatPat:

My businesses are registered and I have my current tax clearance but no personal tax

justwise:


You did not answer the first question.

Are you sponsoring the trip or your wife is contributing as well?

2)Yes, I'll be sponsoring the trip and I plan on transferring three million naira from one of my company acct to my personal account to sponsor my wife and I. There is a consistent record on my statement which shows transfers from this company account to my personal acct for years now.

That is an interesting part..so basically your wife is British as a result of her previous marriage?

Divorced and got the paper?

In that case she does not need a visa and will only focus on convincing the ECO that she is not running away with you to the UK hence your concerns?

Sorry that i'm picking this bit by bit..just want to make sure that we are on the same page.

TatPat:


Exactly my point! I don't want them thinking I'm running away because I'm clearly not having such plans so I don't know if I should inform them about the test I wrote since they have my biometric already and I wouldn't want to come across as a dodgy person... Yes my wife is British, she was married to her ex for 12years.

Yes my wife is British, she was married to her ex for 12years, they were separated for about 2years before they got divorced and we got married some months after she got the decree absolute and she got her papers before they separated.
So my questions are... Should I mention the test in my cover letter? How do I convince the ECO that I'm genuinely visiting and not trying to run away, would the three million naira be enough to show the Eco and would transferring the money from my company account be termed lodgement and lastly, should my cover letter be written on my company letter headed paper? ... Thank you justwise for taking your time out to understand me and replying.
