TB test required for visitors visa with over 6 months validity.

I might be wrong... but I think TB test is not required for a visit visa. Because even if you have 10yrs visit visa you are not expected to spend more than 6months at a go.

You’ll need to have a tuberculosis (TB) test if you’re coming to the UK for more than 6 months - Gov.uk


So, technically you don't need a TB test for a visit visa

I agree with you, but only partially. Inasmuch as what you say is correct, it's only correct if it's a standard visitor visa where you are ordinarily not allowed to spend more than 6 months at a go.

But remember, there are other visit visas that are neither 6 months, 2 years nor 5 or 10 years validity. There is a visit visa for 11 months which is for private medical treatment in the UK. A potential patient under this type who can prove they require more than 6 months treatment in the UK can stay beyond 6 months. Also, what about visit visa of 12 months for Academics

TB test is only for immigrant visas, never for visiting visa despite the duration.

Hello house please any advice would be of help. Below is my husband's visa application refusal. His previous salary was 270k from when he applied on 20th of June. while his account balance was 1.2m. The issue now is that his salary has been reduced to 160k due to some issues with his company. His current account balance is 1.9m. And we are thinking of reapply with supper priority nest week.

There is no supporting evidence of personal and social ties to Nigeria. The ECO only commented on the applicant financial tie (bank statement/sponsor invitation etc.). Is this a time application?
Did the applicant submit the following documents to proof personal and social ties eg Marriage certificate, birth certificate, a vacation letter or a letter authorizing the applicant the is be absent from work? Properties, photos with sponsors, etc
Proofs of communication with the sponsor? eg email, etc.
Re applying and doing super priority will not change things.
The ECO is simply asking for more documents to establish a solid personal and social ties to Nigeria.

We wanted to use the supper priority because the first one was decided after 92 days. The wait was just too much. His current salary is 160k while his account balance is 1.9m. But when he applied his salary was 270k .

You need more evidences of the relationship with your sponsor, e.g. Photos with you and your sponsor, email communication etc.
Sponsor's utility bills or evidence of accommodation if you're going to stay with your sponsor

My sponsor is my brother. He's here in Nigeria.

My host in UK is not sponsoring. There's no financial commitment on his part. He will only provide me accommodation (I will stay in his house).

Sadly you do not have the right of appeal or administrative review. It's hard to tell when we don't know what documents you submitted and how yours differ from your wife's.

You still need to proof this relationship? Or how do you expect the ECO to know that he's truly your brother? A letter from him is not Enough. What are your brother's circumstances in Nigeria, and why will the ECO believe his bank statement and ability to sponsor you?

What was the purpose of the visit? Was it the same as your wife? Did you submit a group application? If she has a visa, sure she can travel!

My brother that's sponsoring me has a chemical industry where soaps are manufactured. He's sponsoring me financially. All me travel expenses will be taken care of by him.

My host in the UK is a friend. He's a Nigerian and British citizen.
