Brightingsus:


Your question is complex! Do you seek help with documents for your husband to apply for a visit visa or for both of you to apply?

Ezriela:

Thanks for your response.

But in absence of CAC certificate cos even if he registers it now it will be less than 2months before our application date. Can he use his personal saving account?

Brightingsus:


Ok, if you ask me, I will be of the inclination that visit visas are stamped in the applicant's home country/country of application. This is only adopting logic. I do not know the fact. It is not part of your freedom of information, so they do not owe it to tell applicants where visas are stamped.

With your MasterCard details they can pre-authorize your card for the amount any time after the booking even if its free cancellation. However note that pre authorization does not mean they will deduct the money. Technically what pre authorization means is that the amount will be held for a number of days and then released back to your account provided check-in date or free cancellation date is not due. some people use cards with no fund (the danger with this is that booking.com will try to pre-authorize the card an once there is no money or insufficient funds they will advise you to either fund the account or give another valid card details. if you don’t do this in a day or 2, the booking will be cancelled.
You can filter on booking.com and pick hotels with ‘No credit card needed’, in this case even if they ask for card details, the card will not pre-authorized. Advise “still use a card with no funds and don’t fund for the duration of the booking”.
Secondly, there are hotels in UK that allows free cancellation up to 12 noon or 1pm on arrival date (http://www.premierinn.com/gb/en/home)

Thanks for your helpful response, I've two accounts which are funded most times, can I use an account that's not mine,maybe a friend account?

Well, my current visit visa was issued in Sheffield. It says so on the visa. My previous visas were issued in Nigeria (in the days of the black and red VFS bags).
Furthermore, I needed my passport back (similar long delays then) and I went to BDHC to retrieve it. (Two days back and forth before they let me in and a nice competent authority attended to me.) They couldn't give it back, but were able to check and told me specifically that the visa was issued in Sheffield some days back: it still took another week or so for it to arrive in Nigeria and TLS (all couriered via UPS). I can only speak of my own experience; but I think that if you receive your passport with a visa issued in Shefo, your passport has visited UK and while you were waiting.
Part of the delays seemed to be caused by the courier time and logistics. #JustMyTake, #NotForArgument(s).

Brightingsus:


Exactly what @Ekpotek as saying. The system of issuing visas does not have to agree with our logic.
Oga @Solatium, come and answer 'Present' oooo

Solatium:


Have it in mind that these are logical people who are thorough in their doings,they aren't disorganized like us.

NOTE:- you do not need to agree with logic and reasoning,but I have made my point.moving oooonnnnnnn

Sir,
Please don't forget that with truecaller app, or biometrics submitted for sim registration, you should be more wary of personal info submitted to the public.
@bolded: what of flight tickets.
@your bank balance; unless you have a good history of travelling and/or good turnover on your bank accounts, or other circumstances to explain the need for a two year visa, I will suggest you stick to six months visa.
I suppose the entry and exit of the N1m are clear in your bank statement: you can include comments on it in a letter of introduction; read back. Think of the mind of the ECO and don't give room for them to deny you based on some unexplained cashflow. It is up to you demonstrate the sincerity of your visa application.

@Ikeja/VI difference. Feel free to read back a few pages.

thank you...
I intend spending from the 1m on my account, flight and my visa fees and the 7ook is for next yyear...

For the fact Sheffield was indicated on your visa does not mean it was printed and fixed on your passport in Sheffield,it means the approval was given in Sheffield where bulk of visas are processed and it will carry a Sheffield reference number,.....Are u saying those who got decision and got their passports back in a week also had their passports sent to Sheffield?

ekpotek:
.

My current visa issued in March 2017 was at UKVI01 (Victoria Island, Lagos). My passport only spent 5 days in BDHC. If you actually want to authenticate where your visa stamp was placed on your passport, kindly check the embossment seal on the visa. The seal on my visa is British Deputy High Commission (see image). So any one out there with a visit visa issued by SHEFFIELD should check the imprint on the seal stamped on the visa and let us know. I guess this will put a seal to this discussion. Thanks

My SHEFO visa embossment bears HOME OFFICE, UK VISA SECTION.

bigbus:


How i wish i can send you an email, so we can talk better.
i travelled for a course in the uk with a 6 months visa, but stayed for 3months
travelled 25th of january and came back may 14th.

fees for 2years UK Visa processed in VI

USD 458 = NGN 168089 Regular charge
USD 75 = NGN 27525 VI Charges
USD 533 = NGN 196345 Total

I have document for the loan from my office, and the purpose stated there.
i am being payed 300k monthly and i am due for vacation for 21days which has been granted.
and i have been promoted with extra 200k on my previous salary effect from 1st of november.
i intend travelling october.
with this months salary making almost 900k on my account. the loan is for partly my course fee for next year and to repair part of my house that was damaged by the heavy down pour of july.

if i apply for 6months i will probably need to apply again for 6 months next year.

i really appreciate your assistance and explanation.
the last time i travelled to the uk, travel agent handled everything apart from my document i provided.
i just wanted to do this one myself.

I have only been to scotland and i have never been to London. thats why i am going to london now. My friend is ther who is going to accomodate me for my 12 days visit. All am paying for is my visa fees and my flight ticket and some few change for transportation etc. he is a citizen and sent me invitation twice and all necesarry document.

thank you very much Sir for your Understanding.

You can read more in previous posts on this thread. The gurus may have other advice.

themusketeer:


Less than 6months?

toscott:

Thanks a lot. This is quite reassuring.
Sorry to ask. Is it 17days from the day of biometrics or 17days from when you got the not straightforward mail. Then pls how recent was this your application. Many thanks

i need help from everyone... as it is quite urgent.

My company is running a software development program in the Uk, which i was meant to attend today but my visa was refused. i received my refusal letter on 25th Aug 2017. find refusal comments below;

In making this assessment I have to look at your circumstances and credibility of your trip. The starting point for the assessment of any visa application is the information contained in the visa application form and supporting documents. You have stated on visa application form that you are currently employed as a technology supervisor and that you earn NGN 240, 000 (GBP 515 as per OANDA exchange rate at the time of application) per month. Although you have submitted a letter form XXXX Ltd, in support of your application, this is not satisfactory evidence of your personal circumstances. You have submitted no further evidence of your personal circumstances, any income, assets or property. Furthermore, the Gtbank statement submitted do not support receipt of your income. From the information on your application form and the documents you have submitted, I am therefore not satisfied that your employment and income is as stated. I am therefore not satisfied that your economic status is as declared. Without the evidence we asked for, I am not satisfied that you plan to leave the UK at the end of your visit or that you are genuinely seeking entry as a general visitor for a period not exceeding 6 months Appendix V4.2 (a-e) of the immigration rules.
In addition to the above, you failed to submit any documentation from the company in the UK where your employers company sponsored event will take place.
In light of all of the above I am not satisfied as to your intentions in wishing to travel to the UK. I am not satisfied that you genuinely intend a short visit only to the UK and that you will leave the UK at the end of the visit. Furthermore, I am not satisfied that you will be able to maintain and accommodate yourself adequately in the UK or meet the costs of your return or onward journey from the UK
I am therefore not satisfied you will leave the UK at the end of your visit (V 4.2 (A))
I am therefore not satisfied you will have sufficient funds to cover all reasonable costs in relation to your visit without working or accessing public funds (V4.2(E)).

Any future UK visa applications will be considered on their individual merits. However, you are likely to be refused unless the circumstances of your application change


Note: i submitted my bank statement and very sure it was cleary stated, they probably didnt look through it carefully.Also the company letter states clearly that its a fully sponsored trip. i am not paying for anything, company is paying for all expenses. i intend reapplying today, i have highlighted my salary credit line with a light pen on the gtbank statement submitted also attached my fidelity savings account with balance of 800k i would like to know whatelse to add so i dont get another refusal again. i am paying for priority again. cos the event as started was suppose to be there for 4 weeks but now i would have to miss a week

i have no assets or stocks and am 26years...first time out of the country. I submitted company introductory letter, sponsorship letter, hotels, tickets etc but as at when submitting the appplication we hadnt decided the location of the event venue but now we have

Anyone suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks
