Leave them and start afresh building your account by yourself to sponsor your holiday.
You said ur dad gave u 380k for ur travel and also in this same travel abi vacation ur auntie will sponsor u with 2500 pounds... it proves to the ECO that financially you cant afford a holiday by yourself and you need two extra individuals to sponsor your holiday.
This is not a good look.
I don’t know how to tell you to package your application as your salary of 80k is low for this vacation and two individuals to collabo to sponsor u a working adult to travel is not a good look.
I hope the gurus can help your case.

I agree Oga ekpotek and Oga justwise are great assets on this thread. I remember when my son was refused then, Oga Ekpotek encouraged me to reapply and visa was issued. Congratulations, please bring back plenty chocolates

Please, I need your advise@all. I finally received an email from TLS this evening requesting that I submit my passport(I used the "Keep My Passport" service) in order to get my visa application decision. The dilemma now is that I MUST return to country of residence next Saturday 10th August because I must get back to work on Monday 12th August:

My questions:

-Are visas issued at the consulate in Lagos or they send passports to the UK for visa issuance?

-Does anyone know who has used the "Keep my Passport'' service before? How many days does it take for the final decision after submitting passport for UKVI decision?

Please, kindly advise me. Looking forward to your response.

Thanks.

So freaking annoying! Need to return to country of residence next week. Wasted so much money for using VI-VAC, premium lounge and "keep my passport". Couldn't apply where I live because the consulate there does not issue visas. Sigh!!

the company is just interested in helping me to upgrade my knowledge and also helping me in acquiring all knowledge I need to acquire to get the business booming.

That will not fly, you work for them and the cost of traveling should come from them completely. You can't work for a company and spend part of your money for company's foreign trip.

This is what i receiced today, can somebody please tell me what to do because i want to reapply

ECO did not complain about insufficient funds in my last application, i wonder why it was stated in this refusal letter

I also mention about receiving rent in my previous application and also submitted rent receipts and other documents as evidence.

I'm tired of these people.

Sorry about the refusal. Well I have read your refusal and all the objections that the ECO gave. From what i can see ECO was not satisfied with your personal and financial circumstances. Not satified with the authenticity of the property. I will advice you stay away from UK application for now at least one year, give then time so that they will not see u as bin desperate. travel to other countries, build up a comprehensive statement of account and try to make next application straight and simple. Please try to get ready all the documents to support your previous refusal on the property when making next application. All the best in future application.

In your first application did you declare that you have additional source of income when asked?

How could the ECO possibly tell he spent more than 20k in a month? Did the applicant contradict himself by stating somewhere in the application that he spent more than 20k in a month?

Thank very much for your observation, there is one thing I noticed from this platform, one needs to be very very patient to deal with some people's comment or observations. I noticed that he has turned to an active ECO to judge a case where the ECO is seeing month on the form and changing it to year.... It is well.

And for the bank statement and money or deposit not corresponding that he referred to, please, every detail was highlighted in yellow.... I beg I finish work for the application, thank to this platform.

At the end of the day patient is highly recommended on this platform, because some people can provoke.

Hello @justwise and to other gurus in the house
Am new here and I need your advise, I picked up my passport yesterday and i was refused based on the deposit of money received in my account May 2019 which was about #300,000 when my monthly Salary was 80k. Apart from the 300, 000 (200k and 100k received that month) My dad sent me #380k for travelling allowance which we backed up with a letter and I guess the ECO was convinced.
So the issue was #300,000 from an unknown source.
Kindly advise how I should re-apply and the necsasary info I need to address the refusal
I am planning on re -applying God willing
Thanks.
Attached is the letter I received

How much of your own money is going into this trip?

Your refusal letter said you did not and that is the main problem here, the only thing you have been able to prove is that you work and earn salary but your salary is not good enough for a foreign holiday.

380,000 from my dad and 100k from my savings and this was explained with a cover later which the Eco was okay with but the issue was the 300k In may, 2019 which we did not explain

My aunty is the one inviting me and in the later she stated she will accomdate me and take care of my expenses and ticket back home and she backed it up with her bank statement.

My actual salary is 120k , after tax , pension and thrift contribution my take home is 80+

Take the holiday in another country or give the UK sometime before applying again, use that opportunity to keep a more straight ward financial record.

The money from your daddy and your aunt reduces your tie to Nigeria, obviously without their contributions toward your trip you will not be able to finance this trip comfortably and that is a problem.

Honestly i don't know the answer to these question especially the keep my passport aspect because i have never come across anyone that used that option. You just have to go and submit your passport as you have no other option.

Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 4 by beholddean: 9:28pm On Aug 02, 2019
None yet o... I'm sincerely tired of this endless wait. I had to push my flight date by 2 weeks and the change fee wasn't nice at all.

When did you get the letter?

In a normal situation, the process of affixing stamp on the passport for the KMP service is typically like a week. I know someone who used the service earlier and it took just a week. I also enquired when I was at TLS for submission. Though, the lady I spoke with was non-committal, she said a week is a reasonable time to expect the passport back. But as we all know, these are abnormal times. No one is sure of anything.

I do hope you get your passport back quick. All the best bro
