Good morning house..please can someone put me through on the best way to apply for a UK visa..I applied for a UK visa last year November and was denied..I actually used an agent which I regret now..I gave the agent my passport and statement of account and went for my interview November 27th,then January I got denied but I was not told the reason by the agent..500,000 was returned from the 600,000 thousand initial payment I gave him

Last month I bought a US visa form because I had some one over there that wanted us to get married..an American but we are nolonger together..I wasn't able to get an an appointment date so I let the money go..I was actually told that I wouldn't get an appointment date but my man at that time insisted I buy the form that maybe I will be lucky..

Now I want to go back and apply for a UK visa..I have my private account and a company account,I have never used the company account which I opened 2018,i have never used the company account for any transaction only my private account..
Now my challenge is this..I intended to build my company and private account for six months and then apply for a UK visa November or December but my passport will expire April 2022 and I'm expected to have 6 months valid passport before I can apply and I read some where that Bihari has ordered the immigration to stop issuing passport for now..please can someone tell me the right way to go about this..thanks.

Hi everyone

Just want to say thank you for all the help on this platform.

I got my visa in 3 days. I paid for priority last week Thursday and collected my passport today. I've been denied Visa to France (Lol) before. I got 2 years Visa . I was sponsored by my dad (as a birthday present) even though I currently work and have over 10,000 GBP in my salary savings account.

What I did was to attach my proof of employment,pay slip, salary statement, ID card and then my father wrote a letter of financial support which I got notarized.

I also explained that I would like to travel now since uk is gradually easing off restrictions and that I would quarantine for 5 days with the test to release option.

giselle237:
sandra pls can u get all the details from the last uk application so u are sure this your agent has not filled one information which u re not able to continue... any change or discrepancies will open room for more scrutiny plus or minus denial et ban if deception was used.

Tutu82:

You gave an agent your international passport,600k AND statement of account.I’m beyond shocked.If you are denied a refusal letter is issued to you stating why not the agent.
Guys come on!.

pheranmi2000:

Giselle237 and others in the house please we need your help. My friend is having his biometrics for Tier 2 visa application on Monday but he just discovered he answered NO to a question which says IS YOUR SPONSOR A LIMITED COMPANY. The answer is 'YES, BUT DO NOT OWN ANY OF THEIR SHARES' Please can he write a letter in respect of this to tell them he made a mistake in that section? Please help!

Hello house is it only British airways that is the only flight to the UK? I just confirmed from waka now and they said that is the only airline. It is very expensive ooo. It is 545,00.

Please for those that have recently travelled, how much did you pay and is there any cheaper airline to travel to the UK?

Thank you

Sorry about the outcome of your in-law’s application.
Yes, your in-law has right of appeal but the appeal will not go in his favour.Article 4 of the directive gave provision for his refusal because it states that If the applicant cannot provide valid proof to show they are currently dependent on their EEA national sponsor or the sponsor’s spouse or civil partner, the application must be refused so I suggest your in- law should fix the flaws in his application very fast as he might not be eligible anymore for this category of visa after June 30.
If you are applying as a dependant to join your EEA family member ( EEA family permit) few things are involved firstly you will need to be sure that your EEA family member is qualified I. E is your EEA family member exercising his/ her treaty rights in the country ? Is he/she self employed ? is he/ she self sufficient?, is he/ she under Job seekers platform ?or a student ? according to the caseworker you will need to provide the current employment details of your family member as you claimed he is employed. I hope he hasn’t lost his treaty rights though.
On your own part you will need to prove 2 things:
1. You will prove your relationship with the EEA national
2. You will prove your financial or physical dependence on the EEA national, once you can prove these 2 things appropriately you should get your visa approved. The only reasons why he can be denied again will be based on public health, public safety and national security which I have never seen anyone been denied on these 3 factors.
Going through the refusal letter I note that the applicant passed the 1st phase as he was able to prove his relationship with the EEA national but was unable to prove his financial dependency on the citizen.
To prove he is financially dependant on the EEA national he must demonstrate that for a relevant period ( not 1 year) he could not, meet his essential living needs (in whole or in part) without the financial or other material support of the EEA citizen, note: Essential needs in this context include accommodation, utilities and food. I said ( in whole and in parts because the ECO can’t justify you are not dependent even though you get extra money from elsewhere aside the support gotten from the EEA national) That was why the caseworker was expecting to see your bank statement so he can evaluate your income and see if you would ordinarily meet your essential needs without the help of your sponsor.
Evidence of his financial dependency on the EEA national might include his bank statements or money transferred to him by the EEA national over a relevant period.
Note: the magic here is that he could not meet his essential living needs without support from his sponsor.
Lastly do you apply as an immediate or extended family member?

Ashirioluwa:

I got a return ticket for my brother for less than that. I booked through ba.com. I paid $880.97 ( Los - lhr - man). It depends on the day you are traveling. You can get BA flight Los - Lhr for around $750

Immediate!!! The applicant is mother to the sponsor (her daughter)

asjay:


No issues at all

If the tracker says your visa is still with the DMC and the time frame for response has passed , you can either call them and they will deduct your money or your pay small money for email and you can send a message to ukvi and they can tell you what is happening and possibly escalate things for you

Hello guys, well done to every helpful person on this thread.

I just got my CAS and I have started my application on the uk.gov site, however I have the following concerns:

1. I have filled all necessary information up to the point of the IHS payment. My question is do I have to pay for all the years I will use to study or can I just pay for the first year alone? It says in the site that it is £624 per year.

2. Can I continue my application and pay for the IHS later?

3. Concerning the VISA application fee, how do I make the payment? Which is the super priority, priority and normal and how much are they? Which is best recommended for quick response? I dont seem to understand what the TLS is and how it works

4. Lastly, can a Nigerian card make these payments, both the IHS and Visa fee? How do you guys make payment?

Thanks in advance
