Please is NySC a good enough tie for uk visit visa

In cases of younger applicants who may not have had an opportunity to form many ties, consular officers may look at specific intentions, family situations, and long-range plans and prospects within the country of residence.

What constitutes strong ties will differ from individual to individual. Ties are the various aspects of your life that bind you to your country of residence: your family and social relationships, inheritance, employment and properties.

In your case, the entry clearance officers will consider your profession (Doctor), social, cultural and other factors you will presents. As a young graduate who may not have had an opportunity to form many ties, entry clearance officers may look at specific intentions, family situations, and long-range plans and prospects within your country of residence.

The law places the burden of proof on you to prove that you have something to bring you back to your country at the end of your stay/exam. So the question is, what do you think you have that will force you back home aside NYSC? Your mum can sponsor you; she'll need to include her work documents, six months pay slip, six months bank statement of account and other documents that constitute ties. You will also have to include your six months bank statement whether or nor you have money in there.

The more things they see that you have that must bring you back to Nigeria, the better your chances.

Hello Gurus,
Please what are the chances for one who wants to relocate to the UK for greener pastures.
Are there jobs that can earn one a permit and guarantee a good life out there?
I studied Accounting and hold an MBA Finance option.
I don't plan to be a fugitive and I sure don't want to do menial jobs while out there.
I understand some less highbrow areas in the UK can guarantee a good job and good living conditions there.
Looking forward to your useful contributions.

Please I need your help. Kindly help assess this for me. My appointment is next week. Please I beg you guys.

WHAT IS YOUR TOTAL MONTHLY INCOME FROM ALL SOURCES OF EMPLOYMENT OR OCCUPATION, AFTER TAX - 233 GBP (added both my salary and profit from my small business)

DO YOU HAVE SAVINGS, PROPERTIES OR OTHER INCOME, FOR EXAMPLE FROM STOCKS AND SHARES? YES

TOTAL MONTHLY INCOME FROM OTHER SOURCES INCLUDING FRIENDS AND FAMILY - 25 GBP (please does this include profits and gains from business as well. Because the 25 GBP I stated is what I get from friends and family)

HOW MUCH DO YOU SPEND EACH MONTH ON LIVING COSTS? - 110 GBP

HOW MUCH OF YOUR TOTAL MONTHLY INCOME IS GIVEN TO YOUR FAMILY MEMBERS AND OTHER DEPENDANTS? - 20 GBP

WHAT IS THE COST TO YOU PERSONALLY OF YOUR TRIP? - 850 GBP

THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF MONEY YOU HAVE FOR THIS TRIP - 1000 GBP

THE COST OF THE AEROPLANE, BOAT OR TRAIN TICKETS - 650 GBP

THE COST OF ACCOMMODATION - MY FRIEND

COST OF YOUR LIVING EXPENSES - 200 GBP

IS SOMEONE OTHER THAN YOU PAYING FOR ALL OR A PART OF YOUR TRIP? YES

PLEASE SELECT WHAT THE RELATIONSHIP IS OF THE PERSON WHO IS CONTRIBUTING TO THE PAYMENT OF YOUR TRIP? UNCLE

Please I propose to spend 2 weeks. I have a closing balance of 1286 GBP in my Personal savings account and 300 GBP in my salary account.

If ur uncle will give you 1000Gbp for the trip, i think the cost to you personally for the trip is 0£, also 850£ is too much for airfare. You should budget 700£ instead, living expenses 200£ and the rest for shopping.

If you are going for personal holiday , tourist it is normal to pay from your personal account.
a business account is for the company, but could pay for training or business trip.

My strong advice for you...don't let your friend lead you into temptation...UK is not as easy as it seems even for legal residents not to talk of been an illegal.

Please save these post for future reference.....you have been warned. you don't want to be an illegal in a foreign land ...not in a country like UK...and as for your friend, i can bet my life that he will end up abandoning you when things go rough for you.

I understand some less highbrow areas in the UK can guarantee a good job and good living conditions there.
Looking forward to your useful contributions.

First things first, quick questions for you

(1)what visa do you want to use in relocating to the UK?

(2) Do you have any qualification you have obtained from any UK recognised institution?

(3) If your answer to question 2 is NO, there is no way you can work with a nigerian certificate in UK cos it is not recognised there. Why do you think doctors and pharmacists do conversion exams?

(4) Is your dad Aliko Dangote or Saraki or any of the Politicians we have in Naija? or is your dad very rich and can afford to pay for your accommodation and feeding ( so you won't need to do menial jobs) while you just run a program in UK so as to get a recognised qualification and be able to get office and tie job?

(5) If your answer to question 4 is NO, bro you will wash plates grin, you will do security jobs grin, infact you will do nanny and cleaning jobs grin. i hope you can wash toilet well grin and also take care of old people with smile o not grumbling grin (Oyinbo like people smiling)

Having said all this,so You want to go to a foreign land and you are already giving conditions that you don't want to do menial jobs? All you need to do is have a plan and no job is menial if it pays your bill. You need to drop that Nigerian pride if you want to make it in UK.

See bro, my honest advice for you is that if you have a good job in Naija, stay back and keep on enjoying your life. Just be coming to UK for vacation. Thats all.

God bless.

Ok but that question is for your friend that you are inviting. Does he work or own a business in Nigeria?

My friend does business.

Meanwhile.. I intend to use my account as evidence of fund and all that. Is that ok? If yes.. is it ok to use my UK account or Naija account?

And lastly, how much is ok to be shown, does the money have to be in the account for a while (like the tier4 visa thingy) and how long must the account statement be?

Sorry about the plenty questions. Alternatively, if I could get referred to a site that has ll these answers..I'll be glad.

Thanks.


Gurus in the house.. I'll appreciate if you can please look into my loong list of enquiries ... smiley (person wey dey enquire no dey miss road grin)

I don't think the Family Visit Visa is an option for you due to ineligible family relationship. To come to the UK as a family visitor, you must be able to show that you will be visiting the following family members in the UK:

spouse or civil partner
children
parents or siblings
grandparents or grandchildren



your spouse’s or civil partner’s siblings or parents
your child’s spouse or civil partner
step parents, step children or step siblings
a person you've been living with in a long-term relationship, as if you were married or in a civil partnership, for at least 2 years before the day you apply

A cousin does not fall in any of the categories listed above, therefore you should come to the UK as a general visitor.

Hi. In this instance, what type of visa is appropriate ? My cousin is inviting and will be in charge of my accommodation and other living expenses.
Thanks.

A healthy account shows money in and out retaining a strong balance.
If the account keeps dipping to near zero it is not healthy.
