I was rejected UK visa in July and I am applying again with my wife. Our budget is 2200GBP my question is how to state our budget in the application. Will she repeat my budget in her application or we should separate the budget. Forgive my ignorance, this is the first time I am doing it myself. I need input from experience forum members @justwise kindly help.

Good evening my people,I will like to share my refusal letter to u guys and I need advise cos I really need to contest it, I only have 5 large deposit in my account which was adequately explained in d cover letter and the deposit are the loans from my company,sales of my shares,and my upfront which have all explained and attach prove ,I wonder the basis of the letter,pls I need advise

justwise:


The ECO acknowledged your cover letter but feels that you did not submit enough supporting evidence to explain the source of those fund.

You were also refused because your budgeted expenditure is well over 3months of your disposable income

dotun4real:


I actually backed everything up with documents,and I also stated that I will be using the proceed of the investment for the trip

DMainMan:
SELF SERVICE

@ MadameW, steel101 and all,

Please I need to know the following if you used the self service in your respective visa application:

1. Under ''Residency' what documents should one upload.
2. Do we need to bring visa application form and document cheklist to the visa application centre
if one opted for self service.
3. Do we need to upload visa application form and document checklist in the online portal? Under what document
category should one upload it.
4. If I am to upload them, do I need to append my signature in the document checklist? It states that one should not sign
until the appointment date.

Thank you.


Thanks.

Hello, I will like to ask from the house what did they attend to people that want to pick up their passport at the Ikeja submission center. Can one walk in there anytime to pick up his or her passport?

Juliansamuel:
Pls house, I still wanna ask. Why is it that when a family of like 2 or 3 apply especially family with kids sometimes their passports don't come out d same time? mind you, they did walk in, meaning they did biometrics same time.

Your trip Itinerary

A well written cover letter explaining things like-

2) explain properly how you are related to your uncle.

3) Explain finances- like where you get pocket money to live on (parents, uncle, siblings, aunts, etc). How much you get from each person every month- (make sure this transaction shows on your bank statement, how much you spend every month on your monthly living cost).

4) List some of the tourist attractions you’ll be visiting, why you want to travel to the UK and how much fun you plan to have.

5) Explain your trip itinerary- Break down the cost of your trip, e.g- Cost of flight/what airline you’ll be using (look for a cheap airline to use).
Daily activity of tourist places you’ll be going to, how much you’ll be spending in tourist attractions(go on the internet and look for free tourist attractions in London within the same geographical location),
Cost of accommodation if your uncle won’t be housing you.
cost of feeding if your uncle won’t be feeding you
cost of transportation within London
you can put a small amount for shopping or you don’t have to shop at all- (as a student that isn’t working, you should be very prudent with money)
miscellaneous money.

These are the list of things I know you need, hopefully other people here would chip in if there’s more to be added.

1. Hello House, my son is traveling to the UK for the first time and is 16 years of age. He’s going to the Uk to stay with my friend for the Christmas and new year holidays. My brother here in Nigeria is sponsoring him and has given his bank statement of 4 million Naira to prove that. In the application they asked why my brother is sponsoring this trip and I wrote because “I his father cannot sponsor this trip at this time”, although I have a house worth 20,000,000and documents to prove(Contract of sale and property deed) that I live at my address with my son. Also the person inviting my son has offered to accommodate him and take care of his living expenses also. That is, my brother and my friend are acting as co-sponsors, but in the application I put my brother(His Uncle) as his only sponsor. Although in the invitation letter my friend sent, he attached his Uk bank statement, passport page(British Citizen), proof of accommodation and also stated that his will accommodate and take care of his living expenses. Should I not bother attaching my friends bank statements since I have mentioned my brother as his sponsor or I should leave it as a plus?

2. Also I stated the trip will cost 800k as he will be there for exactly two weeks and a day, but I put my brother will sponsor him with as much as 1 million naira. Is this bad ? NOTE: Bank statement is 4M (5 months period bank statement)

3. My brother only provided his personal bank statement and letter of declaration showing willingness to sponsor my son. Are there any other documents to add to this ?

4. Is health insurance a must ?

5. Must I attend the visa application center with my son or he can go alone or with someone else ?

Please, what are the chances of this type of applicant getting a UK Tourist Visa:

He earning 300k after-tax.
He's currently doing ICAN exams in Nigeria which his company is currently sponsoring with proof.
The person has about N1.9m bank balance and does not have any large deposits in his account
He lives with his parents in a rented apartment.
He's single
Does not have any travelling experience.

Justblow:




You friend is accommodating.... Your brother is sponsoring......your presentation is going to raise serious doubt. Work with just one sponsor.

Did or has the mum consent to this? , if yes, provide her consent letter.

And which ever one of the two sponsor you are using, make sure your son and this fella has at least a year prove of communication with him or her.

Good luck.

Nikimanni7:


Okay, I will work with one sponsor, preferably my brother because I applied with his name.
I also have the my wife’s consent letter with her signature together with her drivers licence to show relationship with the child.

My brother who is sponsoring my son is here in Nigeria. Will you advice I make them take a picture together just for this reason and submit to back this up?

Thanks for the reply also ��

Justblow:




OH... I understand now, it's not that they both over there. Very well, your friend can invite him over, while your brother fund the trip from here.

The picture thing is perfect. Also let him and your friend have some sort of communications at least at 16, he should own a smartphone.

I will put everything you said into consideration and post the end results of this experience. Thanks for your prompt reply. God bless


And don't forget his BC. is very important.
