Hi gurus.

I got refused a visitors visa. I plan to attend london motor show and do some sightseeing as Im into importations of cars and sales with a monthly income N950,000 ( I import cars from US)

justwise:


ECO did not believe your source of income because documents you submitted did not convince the ECO, how much is your salary and who owns the company?

Hi justwise

I’m filling the application form for my one year old daughter, what should I input as amount planning to spend in the uk and how much she spends on living cost in a month?

Secondly for my application, at the section of other income, I earn 200k monthly and also get annual allowance...should I input the annual allowance on the other income section?

Thank you

Micafe:
Hi,

Thanks for your response.
My salary is 950k monthly and I own the company with 95% of the shares. Its a limited liability so the company stands on its.
As an importer and auto sales agent, I thought the best document to show the ECO the source of the money in the business account is to show the bill of lading I used in importing cars and after selling the car here in Nigeria, the payment goes to my business account and I get paid from the income of the business.

Please enlighten me.. what do you suggest I do?

Is that salary from paid employment or from the business?

tolani4real:

You were denied because the officer doesn't believe your story. The problem about your application was mainly your source of income as shown in your documents. The officer doesn't believe that you actually owned that money. Next time you apply make sure you explain the source of the income. Also separate company fund from personal fund.

Hello House,

my salary is above 130 monthly, and i have a Tbills of 4m running. i spend only my salary to take care of things, so the TBills is savings and investment.


i want to apply for uk visa to visit my brother that serves in UK navy,.( vacation for 3 weeks)

my acct balance will have just the salary in it when i print out my statement but i want to submit my TBills cert along side.

By that time 1m will have matured, but i will re invest it again and the 3m will mature two months later.

Does anyone think that the statement will suffice as financially?.

i will get 3 weeks leave and permission from my company and submit invite letter as well.

Also , i have travelled to SA for 3 days.

@justwise and others, abeg help me .

My brother wants to dash me one of his landed property, so i want to to change ownership, if this can boost my success rate.

Hello guys.
Please what is the current cost of a 6months visa? Also does anyone have an idea how much the Priority Visa Service (both 24hours and 5days) costs?
Thank you.

gusfy823:
Hello everyone...
I made an application for tier 2 visa using priority service since last wk Monday which is about 7 working days now and I’m still yet to hear from them. Is this delay common, anyone had a similar experience?

Micafe:
Pls, When you say source of income, you mean the source of the credits in my business account or the 950k paid to my salary account?
Because all the credit that comes in into the business account are strictly car sales credits and the only credit in my personal account is my salary paid from the business account. I’m not hiding
anthing, that’s why i added all those bill of lading and car purchase invoice from U.S to show that I import cars steady.
Should I add additional invoices that shows the car I have sold which will tally
with the credits in the business account?
Also, do I need to get a payslip?
Thanks alot for your time

Micafe:
its from the business.
But since I’m getting paid every month a steady amount, should I have applied as a paid employer of that company. Bear in mind I own 95% of the shares and I’m a director.
Also, the Bill of lading of the cars are in my name as consignee and after selling the cars, the payment goes into the business account.

I hope that did not add to the confusion?. Thanks for your help

Please if during the application with my wife we stated that we will travel to London on for example 15 May but after getting the visa, I travel on 15th May and wife travels on a later date, will she face problems at the port of entry regarding her change in travel date?
