Hello people please I will appreciate honest and prompt educative answers . An agent took my elder brother to the UK highcommission in Abuja and he got visa for a 2weeks conference in UK. They processed him as a staff of their company in the UK.
He is a first timer and I know he has no plans of coming back now I am scared cos I keep asking him what he will do after the two weeks expires... He doesn't know.
Pls can anybody tell me what his options are? Or make suggestions please. I am

Nobody get a UK visit visa that way brother without a proper application. The agent has duped your brother. What he has is a fake UK visa sticker and will be stopped and deported at POE.

Hi Jenny @jennyhumphrey,

Please can you send me a sample of how you outlined the sorting of your sons welfare. About to apply with my 4 year old daughter. Thank you. .

jennyhumphrey:
I included an affidavit stating that I am his mother sworn at the high court, included more pictures from his birth till date( I included this in the first application but I don't know why they ignored it )addressed the reason why the birth certificate was obtained late in my additional information then included a cover letter explaining same in details, I gave example of my own birth certificate which was obtained late as the norm in the country and I also outlined how his welfare will be sorted in the UK in the cover letter. Also pray, pray and pray. All the best

Like hell I knew it. All these took just 2 weeks. I was so skeptical. Just two weeks to get a UK visa...

i made a reservation on booking.com and it has been automatically cancelling itself and the message displayed is invalid credit card details. I have rebooked and same thing happened. Sad part is that I have submitted the application with the details of that hotel and will be going for biometrics this week. The hotel is now fully booked as I tried rebooking again. please how do I sort this out so it does not affect my visa application. please note that am going for biometrics this week. please help out urgently

Bro, this is quite risky o. I know someone who was denied visa because of this booking.com ish.

When the ECO tried to confirm his booking from booking.com, it revealed invalid card details and the ECO denied the person the visa with the reason that the person does not have a valid arrangement for a place to stay when he gets to UK

You do not need to panic. Make a new booking in another hotel and add it as part of your hotel reservation. Then explain in your cover letter, why you need to change your hotel reservation. To avoid another cancellation used a credible bank card.

kokoli:
Good morning house. Please I would want to know if it is compulsory to photocopy all the International passport pages orj ust the bio data page with previous travel stamps?
2. Am I required to come along with a passport for my biometrics? your urgent responses will be appreciated

I honestly don't think it is compulsory.

I recently applied for a UK visa with a very new passport and didn't bother including copies of my travel stamps and visas in my expired passports.

It was a risk though and I won't advise a first time UK visa applicant to go that route.

Boss help me this is the second time I got denied U.K. Visa with same salary issues all documents I submitted are intacts

Well done guys.
I have only my etcc to show for tax clearance. It is acceptable? Am I to submit the photocopy only or with the original card for my submission

Thanks a lot Ekpotek. Do I really need to state that I am presenting a hotel reservation different from the one I earlier made the application with because the reservation automatically cancelled itself? or I should simply state that I made some changes on.my earlier reservation without offering further explanation? I doubt if the issue is with the card being used in booking because I even asked someone in the UK to make a reservation on.that same site booking.com and same automatic Cancellation occured.

Hello FrontPageLawyer Justwise Jarus ekpotek and all members, i need your candid advise please.

I plan to apply for a standard visitor visa (6 months), and confused on how to correctly represent my application giving my scenario:

1. I have a 1.5m savings and a separate running salary account with about 250k monthly.

2. Spent about 4 years in the UK on Student visa over 8 years ago.. not sure that counts anymore.

3. can get a Invitation letter, please whats the best type (i.e. relation btw invitee and myself)

4. My company employed me to service a client permanently. Both coys are willing to give me an introductory letter stating i am an employee going on leave to return in a week. My thinking is its better to use one. The client company is Global however my salary description is from my employer- hence my dilemma.

Thanks for your contributions.

Dear house,
This is my first time writing on nairaland. But I have a question to ask the gurus in the house. I am a lecturer and I had applied for a visit visa twice in 2015 and got denied. This August I reapplied for a business visa for a convention I was chosen to attend. I was refused and The reasons they gave was really disappointing, they even accused me of taken a loan that will expire Feburary this year whereas I put in a fixed deposit certificate that will be retired August. They said I did not include ties to my country, whereas I put in a landed document to show that I have a land even though Co owned with my fiance here in Nigeria. It was like they used another person's document to evaluate mine. I wrote to them pointing out these errors and they denied it stating that I do not have rights to an administrative review. I reported back to the alumni president and he contacted the m.p whom he gave the names of the representatives who were chosen for the convention. They gave him an assurance of a review as they wrote to the home office on that. How possible is it for a positive review. As right now, I am very angry and disappointed in them. Note since 2015 I have travelled to over two European countries on studies and workshops, Israel and even have a valid norweign Schengen visa for a conference I was meant to attend this month. Please I need a reply. Has anyone been through this?

Hello all,

I am applying for a standard visitor visa (6 months)

I have just £800 (budg 3k) im my a/c but my dad will be sponsoring my visit so I'll be using his statement.

He did not have up to 1 million in his personal a/c but broke his fixed deposit of 5 million and had the money sent to his a/c.

1. Will this be seen as lodgement?
2. Does he have to write a cover letter explaining this or should a fixed deposit certificate be added as supporting document?
3. Am I to make a copy of all pages of the previous passport with visas or just the visa stamps?
4. Also, I want to use priority service. Are there any downsides to this?

Thanks in advance for your comments

(Background: I previously applied for 6mths (not nigeria) and was given. I was in the UK early this year (7 days). Also I have a good travel history. I am a foreign stdt - not working)

PLEASE, I NEED YOUR URGENT RESPONSE

Hi,

Were you able to get this sorted?

I saw your post then checked my booking(hotel website) only to discover it had been cancelled the day after. I then made another booking via booking.com

Did they send you a mail regarding the cancellation.

I am really surprised.
Which bank card did you use?

You can get uk visa in less than 2 weeks. Without priority

I have not gotten any mail showing if it has been cancelled.

I called the hotel to be sure and gave my conf no.
They have my reservation.

The first booking I made was with my GTB Dollar Mastercard (did not have enough for a night). I then tried with my naira mastercard - GTB. Maybe try again and call the hotel.

I am yet to even submit.

Did you make an initial deposit? or was it no pre~payment option because you said you didn't have money in your dollar master card

I think the first hotel tried to hold the money for the first night and cancelled since I did not have enough on it.

As for the the second one, there was no pre-payment. At least the money has not been deducted as at now.

Am sorry for responding late, I have been in transit and got to London last night. My son is just one so I stated that I will be babysitting him all the through the trip and he would accompany me wherever I go so no need for childcare, I also broke down his budget of 2200 pounds at 500 Naira to 1 pound, milk and cereal 50 pounds , toiletries and pampers 30 pounds, then 2’000 pounds for miscellaneous expenses for both of us. We also noted that a comfortable accommodation is to be provided by my uncle who gave us a letter of invitation. All the best in your application
