They are not interested in those countries for visa issue.
They are only interested if you have visited and returned from good countries like UK, USA, or Shengen group.

Also you say you do not know the reason for your visa refusal.
You WERE given a reason at the USA embassy, it is part of there system. You have either lost or hidden it.

@kaffie its better to come out plain just like me so they can help out...............please don't start contribution with the embassy.......cos dey will not refund u ur money.......

I submitted and paid for the application online on 23rd March,2016. Printed out the forms on 24th March and signed them.

My appointment was on 8th April. Got a message on 23rd that a decision has been made. They didn't call my friend inviting me nor my uncle sponsoring the trip.

Went for passport and returned documents today. cheesy

This is my second time actually. The first time, I was in final year in the university cheesy said I was gonna come back to do my national service and that I only was going to spend time with my cousins.


I got back to do my national service though and I have a job now.

We are not telling you to forget travel.
You came asking for advice, we can only give that if you provide the background.
What were the reason for USA refusals? were they 214B or something else?
We will advise honestly, but that advice might be to save your money.

12-20k will not raise eyebrow, those are still small amount, but I hope ur salary comes directly from your employer's company account and not CASH deposit?... 850K is good, but what's ur budget?? ... My friend got his visa with a well run salary account of just 630K I think but his budget was so minute cos it a family visit 820GBP

Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by tunderule2016: 8:19am On Apr 29, 2016
In the three occasions they said you did not meet requirement? Hmmmm something do not seem right...

USA consular are psychologist and more also , they have your records from previous submission... on this 3 occasion what was the purpose of your traveling ? It is hard to really understand your present situation....

The Usa embassy is giving a lot of family visa this past few months so if u really want to have a good chance you go with your family . Good luck

Difficult to give advice when she will not tell us the reason for the refusals.
"Did not meet requirements" covers too many things.
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by tunderule2016: 8:42am On Apr 29, 2016
Yes too difficult... i just feel there is something she is hiding (no offense kaffie) , but i hope she knows and understand we are not here to judge; just to help.... You are so right @ "Did not meet requirements" covers too many things. have a lovely weekend@@

You can get cheaper flight.... check opodo, skyskanner, kayak, travelzoo and others.... i heard there is a naija airline aside from Arik that flies into london; you can check them out too they might be cheaper.

When searching try to always clean cookies because Airline nowadays, if you check the same destination twice or three times you will notice they have increased from the exact amount they showed to you the first time.... They are smart too they notice the person is interested so they increase fee... so always remember to clear cookies

Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by tunderule2016: 8:50am On Apr 29, 2016
From experience , Yes it is a red flag if it is a one off towards when you intend to apply for a visa except you can prove otherwise the reason , it will be a major refusal.

Significant amounts of cash deposit YES.
Insignificant amount of cash deposit NO.

Large Cash deposit is taken under the assumption that the money has been earned illegally and unless you produce documented proof that you obtained the cash legally from a verifiable source, then it is assumed to have been made illegally.

Many companies pay salary by direct deposit or check, while small business owners pay salaries in cash. It’s normally acceptable to pay cash as a small business owner provided it is done legally with tax deduction reflecting on your pay slip. Not deducting tax from your wages means you are getting paid “under the table,” which is illegal.

It's a RedFLag for those that receive their monthly Salary Via Cash Deposit, You either receive your Salary via Cheques or Bank transfer, UK embassy would believe you ain't workin with the claimed company since your mothly pay ain't coming as well cheque deposit or TNF. The Source is not Verifiable if cash is being paid into ur account

There are a lot of method for clearing cookies but the best which i use is a software called CCLEANER which can be found on a site called www.filehippo.com read about it so you know what you are downloading bruv; but it is the best cleaner of cookies for now and also help other unwanted trojans some site drops on systems.

Another easier method, go to settings and clear your history that helps too but not deeply because some sites are stubborn. Enjoy Bros Naira .. let me know if you need more understanding of the software. you will see other interesting softwares too there for your enjoyment lol.
