Bamo2020, i think they just need you to be coordinated and straightforward, you are lumping things up for the eco and i think they dont have that time to be thinking or assuming for you the way you package your application.

multiple account will surely give them problem (cut ot down to max of 2 but 1 account is better my own opinion though)

Also your cover letter can do the magic at times, simple and few sentences about the credit and debit is highly neccessary.

Carry gurus along on this platform also highly neccessary (IMO though).

I have this mentality of thinking locally (think like a tourist) when im applying for any VISA

e.g.
how much does average uk citizen spend per week (i plan my budget breakdown around the amount)

what is the average hotel cost that tourist go for in uk (i budget around the cost)

what is the average cost of tourist transportation in uk per week (i budget around the cost)

and the question goes on & on, after doing all ur calculation it might not be even up to 2x of ur Disposable income.


Best of luck in your next application, It will be + IJN.

Thanks boss I will try sgain in 6 months

Greetings to everyone in the house, in early march I was denied UK visitors visa due to unexplained funds in my account, which the gurus in the house pointed it out and adviced I keep my account clean with my salary been the only credit, which I decided to embark on and resubmit this early November. But now I need your advice on what to do I the following situation.

NB: My salary normally comes in 2 parts (a smaller part, and then a larger part).

At first
1. I printed my statement from may 1st to 27th October, but due to the pandemic the first part of my salary (the smaller part) was paid on 25th april, while the larger part was paid 10th of may
And on 25th of that same may I recieved the 2 legs of my salary for may on the same day (which is how is normally is) but now do I need to explain to them that the salary paid on that 10th is due to the covid19 issue.

Every thing is uploaded on the application form both the SOA. No hard copies submitted again.. I will advice you to fill the online application form for her. Make it in such away that she can also have access to her application, then when she is satisfied, u pay online and book appointment for her.

Plead with your HR or whosoever is responsible for writing your introduction letter, it should be inputted in the official note coming from ur office that u are paid in such and such way addressed to the embassy and also same information in ur cover letter.
It also makes it easier if the establishment name appears on ur statement as the one doing the transfers and not an individual’s name nor cash deposit

Dear Gurus in the house,

I just booked hostel with free breakfast in London for a Tourist holiday and wants to confirm if 15£ is okay for daily feeding while on holiday for 11 days.

Or should I budget for 20£ /day for the trip?

No one is goin to ask u to show the budget of daily feeding neither on ur application form nor documents.

Mates, my cousin cancelled his application since 25th September, a week before his appointment. According to DMC, the refund of his application fee was supposed to be made within 28 days. But up till now he has not received it. Is there anyone in a similar situation? Please how do we contact them? Has anyone got their email or telephone?
Thanks a lot.

Thank you for your response.

I stated this for me to do my budget for the trip considering flight, accommodation, shopping, transportation and miscellaneous.

So that I won't exceed my disposable income nor have a low budget for the proposed trip.

Yes it's the organisations name that appears and that is how every salary comes in terms of description.so are you advising that on the cover note it should state that the second leg of the salary which should normally come sequentially with the first leg, was paid about 2 weeks later because of the covid incident.

Sir I actually said HR letter from ur organization and ur own cover letter should clearly explain these. I didnt mention cover letter in isolation. I think the two should say the same thing and not either or

Hello gurus in the house. A quick question. If I changed my appointment date on tls website, will I lose the money initially paid e.g payment for express courier??
Thanks.

Hello everyone, please a friend was able to make flight reservation last month at the rate of 245k. The said reservation has already been cancelled by the airline. His travel date is February next year and biometrics date is 15th December 2020. Can he go ahead and use same reservation or possibly get a current one that carries the present high price. Your responses will be appreciated.

Not that it's any of my business but why is he attaching a flight ticket?

Generally DO NOT ATTACH what is not requested, it does not make the job of the ECO easier going through needless documents.

If he is bent on attaching a flight reservation he should use a valid one.

He is attaching it to make the budget breakdown easier to comprehend. Every reservation that isn't paid for after some days will automatically be cancelled or possibly expire depending on the airline. I also know that ECOs don't require flight payment until after visa has been approved.

IMO,
i used kenya flight reservation for my last application which was "ON HOLD" and after 24hrs or so they cancelled it, and my biometric date was 2 weeks after i booked the flight reservation, to me i think the eco considers flight cost if the application looks somehow cos they even said we should not pay for flight untill visa is granted.
some people have done there application without flight reservatio and they were granted.

If I were to be in this situation and considering my budget i will try and search for recent flight reservation and if i coudnt find, I WILL USE IT LIKE THAT.
I havent seen any one denied cos of flight reservation cost before (i stand to be corrected though)

over to the gurus in the house.

Why is he attaching a budget breakdown?

Some of these headaches are self imposed.

@opomulero, @ Nchabuomo. Thanks for your time. The concern now is that prices have gone up recently and the reservation he made was booked last month of which the price is quite low compare to the current price as at today. Won't they say the price doesn't tally with what is obtainable recently?

I think the worry should be if the ECO puts a call to the airline that they can confirm his reservation. That said as a flight reservation isn't among the requested documents the ECO might not make use of it in coming to a decision.

Hi all

Can someone point me in the direction of a U.K. spouse visa timeline thread? We recently applied and it’d be nice to see what timelines people have and how long we can expect to wait for a response.

Can anyone assist?

From what Opomulero said, he got his visa despite submitting a flight reservation that was cancelled few hours after booking the flight. That settles the fact that they don't call to confirm flight reservation. Thanks for your contributions. I will show these conversations to him and ask him to use the reservation when the time comes.

You should realise that every Clearance officer treats application that come to them differently! That someone else used it and had no issues doesn't make it obtainable. What if the officer handling his matter dey vex that day and look for the slightest mistake to show him or herself?

Like Nchabuomo asked, why do people add irrelevant document's? If you must include an unsolicited document, at least make it a valid and current one (My opinions!)

Lol �, Ethiopian Airlines

I need advice o.
I did my biometric on the 29th of September, till now no passport collection mail, sent a mail on the 26th of October concerning my visa decision and I got a response that it will be escalated.

My vacation is suppose to be 19th November. Hope the date of vacation won't affect visa decision and what could be the cause of the delay?

Thanks all, appreciate your sincere criticism. God willing I will carry d whole house along next time. God bless u.
N.B: I'll share the refusal letter soon
