Lol. I see no reason why I will be denied UK visa.

I go there in October every year (since few years now). My company's Head Office is in the UK.

I dont even submit bank statements or payslips.

Just a letter fom my company that they will fund the trip and a printout of the email between me and my British boss (who is in London office) on why I should come.

And I have travel history to other countries in addition to a decent income confirmed by my employer.

I don't even think of being refused visa to UK.

If your visa is rejected, you can appeal.
If your Dad is a citizen, submitting all is documents (bills & payslips) may increase your chances of getting the visa approved.
N. B If he is not claiming benefits from the govt because the govt does not like granting visa's to applicant who will be a burden to them or to tax payer

Thanks for the response.

Years back when I applied, I said I didn’t know any in Uk. But now a friend wants to invite me and and I will stay with her. Is that an issue ?

*Bank statement
*Treasury bill certificate
*Hotel reservation
*Cover letter
*plan 1 result, and plab2 exam confirmation
*Ielts certificate result, medical sch cert n license
*Leave from hospital, employment letter from his job
*Our marriage certificate plus a copy of m passport
*Child's birth certificate.
*tenancy agreement
*Apart from a medical exam trip to Ghana, no other travel history.
We would want to reapply soon. Because his exam has been booked for mid nov and has already paid over
400k for it.
PLEASE GURUS AND OTHER MEDICAL CANDIDATES, WHAT CAN HE DO AND ADD FOR NEXT APPLICATION
PLEASE NOTE: we intend to use his employer as a sponsor for his next reapplication n the employer has promised to transfer 80%of the funds he will need for the trip.Do u think this is a good idea.

Sorry for the refusal. However, the pertinent issues here needs to be addressed.

How much was the closing balance?
The cash deposit that was highlighted in the refusal letter, was it properly explained with the appropriate documents in a cover letter? Cash deposits that does not correspond with the stated income is a red flag in the ECO's eyes unless you are able to properly explain the source.

Build up the account a bit more and pay attention to the movements, I would suggest.

And don't use an employer as a sponsor for a trip that is of no benefit to them i.e. the ECO will wonder why an FMC is sponsoring one of its employees for emigration purposes (PLAB is an exam that has no relevance to a doctor's employment in Nigeria and is solely for emigration purposes to the UK). Nor should he make large deposits in to his account under any circumstances whether from his employer sponsor or not.

Reapplying with the same circumstances as one had during the first refusal is quite likely to lead to a second refusal. If I were your husband I would build up the account for a while and re-apply next year. Truth be told, the UK is being perverse about skilled migration now, the NHS needs doctors badly, but the government is being stupid about it for political reasons hence their blocking of people like your husband and a couple of other doctors I've heard about (my brother is a doctor and he and many of his friends are also going through these relocation processes).

Hmmm...thanks a lot...but he has already paid for his exam coming up in Nov...what if his aunty sponsors him, can we build send documents to build up ties..would that help our circumstances.. Cos over 400k is too much to lose for an already booked exam

No possibilities of refund of the exam fee due to a refused visa/any other cancellation reason before specified cutoff date?

I would also advise not using any sponsor at all - using sponsors for grown working-age adults presents problems.

Sorry for the refusal. I really think that your husband needs to cut down his expenses. Spending 600k on a 4-day trip is way too much, and with his monthly savings of 150k, the Eco may find it hard to grant him visa. I made a similar mistake in my first denial, but I was granted visa in my subsequent application after I amended my expenses.
Let me give you a little expenses format, This could actually become his real expenses.

Flight (economy return, if he books early) N230K
Accommodation (hostel at £15 per night x 4 days) N30k
feeding N15k
transportation N15k
miscellaneous N10k
total N300k/640GBP

To look at this in GBP

Flight £490
Accommodation £64
feeding £32
transportation £32
miscellaneous £22
Total £640

With the above he wouldn't be spending more than 2 times his monthly savings.
Please he should not ignore the hostel accommodation, he may meet a good number of plab candidates there. Secondly, a good number of the hostels are very neat and have study/library and conference rooms where you study free of charge. Book your hostel accommodation at www.booking.com

My 2 cent.

I got a priority within 9 working days.

I'm not sure about 5 days.

But there is a super priority that is said to be 24 or 48 hours (very expensive), I think that one should be able to come out within 5 days in worst case.
Yes boss
I think priority is still possible at the alotted response time.the July/august rush is down

I am still surprise of how they did my application before 14days instead of 15days standard time, because I did biometric on 28th of August and yesterday 14th I was sent an email to come pick up it up.Although I filed the time of travelling for 14th Sept. Could that be the reason for rushing my application or they just rush it and assumed I didn't get it.I am really worried because I tried my best this time to give d best doc and promotion at work with good salary and travelling experience,answered all reason I was rejected.Plus the fact that my brother in UK was not contacted before.I just wish it ends in praise when I pick up.. or else I go vex..lol
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by OgeChukwuO: 8:38am On Sep 15, 2018
Hi good morning all,

I am married with a kid. My husband did his masters in Uk and also got his post study visa afterwards. I joined him at one time and we returned to Nigeria before it expired.
4 years later we want to visit the Uk. He has a cousin married with 5 kids leaving there and my kid and I will like to spend the Christmas with them.
I run my own firm for 2 years now and sincerely haven’t started working on my tax certificate. I have savings of about 2m. I run a company account but my personal current account were sometimes used for operations especially if it’s same bank.
My husband runs a contract agreement with a firm so he isn’t paid monthly but based on clientele and at the end of financial year, a certain amount is paid.
I am sponsoring the trip.

I haven’t been consistent in paying myself monthly.

My questions are
Should I fill not applicable in where they asked for monthly salary as I haven’t been sending a regular amount to myself.

Since my husband has history in the uk should he apply with us. Even though he is not going with us. Also won’t this make our budget higher

Our accommodation and feeding is sorted so what will my budget look like.

What documents can I present from his cousin
What documents can I present.

What’s the success rate if I apply for just myself and kid rather than he applies for 3 of us. His account statement may not cover us but he is also a director in my business I run.

Lastly i do not have my tax clearance. How does this affect.

Pls pardon the long write up.

Thank you.
