Hello guys please i need help!
my aunty invited me 4years ago but i was denied due to little money in the bank account she sent to me which i sensed was intentional cos it was highlighted as overdrawn. Now i want to reapply for tourism on my own without her input, as i will be my own sponsor.
since they already know i have someone there:
1. is it ok for me to book a hotel despite i have my aunty there?
2. won't they expect me to get invitation from who i know?
3. is flight reservation needed for application?

i would really appreciate your response.
thanks

lightdream:

Thank you.all my debit master card not going through Gtb, UBA.Ecobank.

Hi all;
After I called ukvi , I saw their mail now. What does this mean tho

Chibabe4Christ:
Good day House!
Please I have a concern? my questions are 1. My first cousin is inviting me to London, is it OK to refer me as her cousin in her invitation letter without adding first?
Secondly what type of visa am I applying for, should I apply for family visa or tourist visa?
Thirdly she didn't include her house rent receipt to the documents she sent to me, will they (visa officer) count it against me?
Fourthly, I have applied to UK last year November and I was denied. when I applied I presented my GTB account which has up to 3M and FBN Acct and now that I want to re apply I intend to present only my first bank account in which I have 2.1M because I pulled out I.4M from my GTB for a business. Do I present the remaining balance in my GTB which is like 1.6M together with my FBN or should I present only FBN but my fear is that since I have presented GTB in my last Application, I do not know if they can use it against me if I didn't include it to the recent application. PLEASE ADVICE!!!!
Fifthly I intend to travel December and I have not submitted my application, from UK website I learnt the earliest to apply is 3months. should I go ahead with the application or what do you think?
6) Is short visit to a cousin and her children December period a strong reason for tourist or family visa
7) How do I get my itinerary
What is the better service to use when applying for UK visa? Is it AccessUK Service or Visa4UK

justwise:


1. I really don't understand this question, if she is your cousin why not state it as it's?

2. Standard visiting visa, it covers other sub-visa types

3. What are those documents she included?

4. Submit all your bank accounts with supporting documents to proof the source of money in them.

5. Still ok to submit this month

6. If you are earning enough to justify spending such amount for a short visit then no problem.

7. Ask your cousin

8. People have dropped the actual link here so many times so please read back abit.

Brightingsus:


I think I understand your question 1 and your concerns with 'cousin' and 'first cousin'. By first cousin, you mean your direct cousin. From my understanding your cousin referred to you in their invitation letter as their 'cousin' and you think it should have been 'first cousin' given your immediate family relationship. However it does not matter. It's not worth asking your cousin to rewrite the invite. Be smart enough to use the same language as your cousin in your application form and any associated supporting letters.

Chibabe4Christ:


Thank you @Justwise, you have really been of help. Am new in this field and have a lot of questions to ask, this thread no doubt is helpful but a times delays. now, some of your answers shows my questions were not clear, is there a way I can discuss with you in respect of this application and as well get prompt response. I intend to send the application latest tomorrow.
Am done with the application but have a lot of questions concerning the previous applications and this current one.
Please help me out. Please send me your contact to my email box. I will be be very grateful!!!!!!!

Chibabe4Christ:


1.The documents she submitted was her British Citizen Passport, Energy/utility bill, invitation letter.
2.Is it compulsory that your amount in your account in your last should be same or more than what will be in your recent account. because I run 2 account savings and salary account. My savings has been 3M since last year but just withdraw 1.8M out of 3M, is it safe to use that same account. Though my has salary account FBN has build up to 2.1M. Should I use both account or just FBN. My fear for saving account is because of 1.8 I removed from it recently
3. what is itinerary? I asked her she said she doesn't know. Please how do I get it

justwise:


1. If she will accommodating you then she needs to add tenancy agreement and bank statement to that list else hotel booking will do.

2. It's not compulsory, you need to draw out budget for the trip so as to know how much it will cost you.

You can use any of the accounts as long as it has enough money for the trip and you can confidently provide document to support the source of money in that account

3. An itinerary is detailed plan for a journey/trip

bakeuhappy:
@ lightdream R u sure u r doing the right thing? Go back to d page under card types select debit card.. after that it will take you to another page. One d 2nd page leave the valid from blank n input the expiry date.make sure the name on the card is the same as the name you r typing into the box.

lightdream:

Please what I did was input gtcard on call after the operator and nt through.someone mentioned master card.

Chibabe4Christ:


Thanks so much
Can I have a sample of itinerary
Please what if she couldn't provide tenancy agreement and statement of acc, will that count against me
Am not asking of how much the trip will cost, I have enough money in both account but my concern is my savings account where I pulled out 1.8M

Chibabe4Christ:
Another concern is that my brother is in UK as at last year I applied but I filled that I dont have a family member in UK because he hasnt gotten his citizenship though he has his legal stay. Now I want to fill yes in the colon or what do you think?

justwise:


There is nothing like itinerary sample, just list things you tend to do while in the UK and a breakdown of the cost of the trip to you.

If she couldn't provide tenancy agreements and bank statement then book for a hotel because if somebody is inviting you to stay with her she should be able to show evidence of an accommodation and her ability to host you while you are there.

Why are you concerned about the savings account?

Chibabe4Christ:


@justwise THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR QUICK AND SINCERE RESPONSE!!!!! MAY GOD REWARD YOU FOR THIS MERITORIOUS AND SELFLESS SERVICES. YOU ARE INDEED JUST WISE, KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK !!!!!!!!!!!! YOU HAVE SAVED SO MANY FROM THE HANDS OF FRAUDSTERS AND 419
