Siberry:
I picked up my passport today after three weeks of biometric.

I was almost sure I wasn't gonna get my visa, because I made an unpardonable mistake on my application.

I even wrote to them to cancel my application and was told a decision had been reached already.

Was shocked to see visa approved.

THANK GOD! Lessons learnt.

Did your brother provided all the documents about his house that his estate agent paid? The ECO need to see that he is the owner of the house with all supporting documents? Is the property genuinely owned by your brother? The ECO is not satisfied with the unexplainable amount, that was the reason he was denied. In his next application he will need to explain that money and give proof that the property is owned by him. Since your brother do collect house rent and if he is the real owner of the property, in his next application let him state that he has another source of income that comes in his account yearly and provide all documents.

Thanks. He is the real owner of the property. He provided the land sale agreement between him and the vendor signed by his lawyer, survey of the land and the tenancy agreement between him and those living in that house also signed by his estate agent. He also stated in the application form that he has another source of income which is INVESTMENT. And he stated in the additional information page in the form that he got rent from his property and it was paid into his account.

For next application tell your brother to print out all statements of account and scan please. And the statement of account must be signed by the bank. Was the statement submitted as pdf with the code? Was the statement of account stamped and signed? U need to check pls.

What he was given from Access Bank is just a sheet of paper with the code that the ECO will enter to access the statement. He wasn't given the HARDCOPY STATEMENT OF ACCOUNT. The bank said the ECO will use that code to download the bank statement himself.

Please next application let y bros collect hard copy duly stamped and signed by the bank. Some of this ECO might have no time using code to check soft copy.

Thank you so much for your help on this platform.

Please, I intend to travel to the UK with my mother. My mother has been issued a Visa already but I am yet to apply because of the delay in receiving my passport. Now my passport has been issued.

My question is that I want to state that I will spend 2 weeks in the UK based on the recommendation of other users on this platform for an applicant that has not been issued a visa before but my concern is that my mother stated that she intends to spend 3 weeks and will be travelling with me when she applied for her visa.
Now I am concerned that the ECO will wonder why we are both travelling together but we are returning back to Nigeria on separate dates.

Please is it safe to state the 3 weeks to correspond with my mother's application?

Thank you in anticipation

Yes it is ok to state 3 weeks, there is no rule that says first time applicants can only go for 2 weeks. Are you sponsoring your trip yourself? Bear in mind that the visa officer will take into account your personal circumstances, so ensure that the cost of your trip is proportionate to your salary, it will not look good if you're spending more than 3x your salary on a trip.

Hello house,

During my previous visa application I stated that I will travel on 19th August 2016 but the decision making process delayed so I received my passport with visa on 15th August 2016 which made me postpone my travel to October 2016. I still spent the same two weeks I stated on my application.

I want to know if this will be an issue in my current application?

Kindly share your thoughts

Thank you

He provided the land sale agreement between him and the vendor signed by his lawyer, survey of the land and the tenancy agreement between him and those living in that house also signed by his estate agent. He also stated in the application form that he has another source of income which is INVESTMENT. And he stated in the additional information page in the form that he got rent from his property and it was paid into his account.

My dear it is well. If he provided all these and the ECO still denied him, there is something that the ECO is not satisfied with. Probably the huge logment of money suddenly to make his account big. The ECO might have seen something in his statement of account, that makes him not to be satisfied. May be the credit and debit entries in his account bf the logment is not really flowing in well, the money in his account before the logment is not big. The ECO study very well the account and see how the main salary you stated flows. If from January, the amount in his account is 250k for salary, he withdraw it out immediately, the account is empty, with no inflow of little money or saving. Then Feb he received another salary and withdraw all, no saving. Then towards the time of submission, logement just enter inside. So it makes the ECO not to be satisfied with his personal and financial circumstances. So he can't even afford to travel with his salary.

giselle237:
since you are not yet married, show proof that your immediate family is in Nigeria and would be in nigeria during the period of your travel amd as such can not abandon your family to go and live in the uk. Proofs could include birth certificates of siblings, work id or student ids of siblings to show they are present in Nigeria, pictures and any documentation to show your family ties and the bond you share.
If you have any properties, a car perhaps attach the documentation too.
You only talked about not been married, if you have a child your child can also serve as tie whilst you submit all birth records, photographs, school fees receipts and any evidence to solidify that the child will be in nigeria with the grannies while u undertake ur trip

Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 4 by nomad26: 6:06am On Jun 28, 2019
That shouldn't cause any problem In your next application as you didn't overstay. No need to worry.

Okay. Thank you. Only his salary do enter that account. He doesn't pay any other money into the account apart from the rent.

You have a good job that you earn 400k every month, which is good. Try to make sure the 400k reflect on your account monthly and matches with the payslips.

For you to set up your account properly you need your account to be active. Balance well your credit and debit entries, especially the credit entries in your account, be more care with the credit entries, especially credit entries of large money which is not part of your monthly income. If you have two sources of income every month let it be what will reflect mostly on your account. Any other credit entries apart from your two sources of income should be noted with dates and explain to the ECO in cover letter . e.g on the 13th of June, credit entry of 50k being money for family use from my mum. If there are other money apart from your two sources of income, write in cover letter explaining to ECO, that apart from your sources of income that you have other credit entries in your account which you need to explain.

For comprehensive account, try to make payment with your ATM at stores, all these also help. Just make you account active. Balance inflow and outflow flow of cash.

U are paid 400k, try to make sure you remove some certain amount of money every month for up keep. D'nt just leave the money there without withdrawing some, so that ECO will not feel that u are not withdrawing and only trying to safe for the trip. Let them not see your account as bin stigin to your self. Try to withdraw money when you get alert.

Since you live with your mum and d'nt have any dependant. Just write No dependant. Calculate how much you spend on your self alone and put the amount there. No body can tell you the amount. The amount u know that you spent every month on yr self write it there for them.

For your thrift explain everything on cover letter with proof.

The opening balance is perfect.

So from all your sources of income after tax you are earning 470k every month.

Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 4 by Nobody: 3:30pm On Jun 28, 2019
Thank you very much for this , I already plan to cancel out any credit more than 50k into this account because I have other accounts I can use , so I plan to make this account as straight forward as possible , once I get credited my salary and thrift I don't plan to make debits of more than 20-30k ag once , but what worries me now is I have to be in south africa for a training, will the V.O be convinced that I spent 6 months in South Africa trains while I am still earning my salary ?
