@Justwise and others,

Please, I need your candid advice on this issue. I applied for the UK visa 5months ago and I was denied on the account that the does not believe that genuinely have the financial to find the trip and the source cash of my fix deposit is in doubt.

Note that my total official earnings are #130,000k while I had others source of income which amounts to #100,000 monthly.

I recently discussed with my friend in the UK and she was furious that I didn't communicate with her before applying. She wants me to reapply again and she promised to sponsor, as well as provide all the necessary documents which include the photocopies of her UK passport, bank statements, and others.


What are your advice? Is it the right time to reapply or I should hold for much longer. Note that my financial situation has been changed since the first application.

justwise:


I'm not sure about Cyrus but how do you want to join him in the UK? As a student or what?

Imustreturn:
My sister's 2 years visa is expired, and want to apply for 5 years now. It's the husband that do apply before. But she's divorced now and want to apply alone. The bank statement used before is the man's own. But she has a business running.

My question is how do we go about the application now? What documents are needed and how much should be in her bank account. Since it's business, is tax receipt included? Please kindly help

strongman360:

not as a student. I want you to give me any other possible way that can be very easy for me to get a visa through the wife either by her parents or any other means outside studies

Oga Justwise & other gurus, pls help a brother with the right information..



Let me just go straight to the point. I am aged 29 a serving corp member & will pass out by July, B.sc computer science(2.2), I want to migrate to England to improve in my field & better my future. I have discussed extensively with my step brother who has promised to help, he is a citizen(born & bred) , though the last time he came to Nigeria, I have not been given birth to, we talk on phone & WhatsApp & he is doing perfectly well, infact he is into ict & was so happy to know I studied computer science, he even encouraged me to learn c++.
He told me to find out about the requirements I need & get back to him, pls brethren & experienced gurus in the house, help a brother with the right information, I will surely testify...

strongman360:


Honestly non that I know of specifically for the UK. The wife is not your relative, he is just a friend to you so it's almost impossible for any of them to take you along to the UK.[/quote
please justwise I will like to talk to you on phone. please send me a phone number I can reach you on. thanks

Oga justwise and all the gurus in the house.

I'm a full time PHD student in Nigeria and we are not expected to work during the program, though am married with a kid and I live in an apartment given to me by my parents though the documents still bear their name.

I want to attend an academic conference in the UK for 5 days and my aunty agreed to sponsor me because my parent and myself don't have sufficient money in our bank account but I have landed properties in my name.

Do you think I will be given the visa and. What are the necessary document I can submit?

ashieduplus:
Hi everyone,

My international passport will be expiring in October this year and I am due to apply for a UK tier 2 visa at the end of this month. This means that my passport would have less than six months validity by the time I apply. Am I likely to be refused a visa because of this.

I have already begun processing a new passport but there are no booklets for now. Please what would you advise?

missava:



Pls when did you do your biometrics? And which center? When this this email come?

justwise:


1.Are you invited to attend the conference by the organisation in the U.K.?

2. Is the conference free to attend? I mean you don't have to register with money to attend

tallestguy:
I did it on 26 last month and I got email from UK hub on Monday morning.

beebunm1:


Yes, I have an invitation letter and I have to register with money (75 dols) to attend the coonference

justwise:


Ok as long as the conference is inline with your research areas then give it a try.

Submit the invitation letter from the conference, payment evidence, your PhD admission papers, your aunt bank statement and source of her income..e.g. Evidence of employment or business ownership and a letter from her stating why she wants to spend that money sponsoring you.

You also have to submit your marriage certificate and family pictures to show that you are indeed married with kids and it also serves as tie to Nigeria.

missava:

Nice. I did on 26th too.
Ikeja.
No email from ukvi though.
Tracking shows that the application is at the Decision making centre.
Kindly update me if you have any progress. I will update you too.

justwise:


It's 50/50 situation, you have to address the issue led to your previous refusal first, any financial document you are submitting has to be supported by evidence of how you earned that money.

justwise:


You don't need a new passport, your current one will do
