Rosement:

She was born out of wedlock, my uncle and his ex-girlfriend abandoned her. I'm just trying to keep my promise. I want her to visit UK for two weeks and return back to Nigeria. She has been very depressed lately, I want to cheer her up.

adelejane:


In my case I explained my monthly income varies depending on expenses and sales for the month so from my business income I transfer 4K ghs and 5k ghs to my personal account and this could be seen in my personal account as transfer from the business to my personal account monthly . I showed all source of funds cos I makes lots of sales daily . I live in Ghana . So I had to state 60 k ghs as my annual income cos I had stated I transfer between for 4K and 5k Ghana cedis to my personal account monthly . But please as advised you May need to stick to one amount so you don’t confuse the visa officer , i have traveled to the uk many times so I don’t know what helped my case. So May be best to just stick to a particular figure you can defend with documents.

giselle237:
The worst… one of importnt questions you and the aunt will be asked.. are you her legal guardians? what are her ties to Nigeria? there are so many things, upto 59 scenarios which the ECO will bring up and sweetly deny this visa. . you can take her to Dubai…

So why UK? This is where the opportunity is coming this time and I want to take it to give more to the society, it's going to be an added value to me and it will open more opportunities for me internationally
When are u meant to start work?
April 1st
That has passed, do you think it's still necessary
Charity and volunteering has no time bound, giving is not meant for a particular time,
And I've also been in contact with my employer and they're willing to reschedule once my visa is granted

Did you do this process yourself or someone helped you? Did myself.
These are the questions I can remember now but there were even more questions that this.
Spent about 1hr25mins for the interview.
She said she's impressed and inspired and also said she's not the one to take a decision that it's just a part of the process, that she's going to send the video and typed answers to the department that will take the decision.
I even said I thought there was going to be an apology due to the delay, she made some explanations and apologized on behalf of the team. In all, it was a long but interesting and interactive conversation.
I just hope my financial figures is OK as I dont know what their minimum requirements are for my finances. Just told them the truth about it. Hopefully I get a positive decision soon.

Hi I just submitted my application and it redirected me to tls for self service option. I'm trying to upload my documents but it's redirecting me to sign-in to ukvi with my username and password. I used my email but it's not working

Rosement:
Thanks so much for the advice. Can she travel to Dubai unaccompanied?

Cashmadam:


Ideally, 6 months. If you haven't worked for up to 6 months, provide what you have. If you were refused in the past, provide 12 months. My advise. Not cast in stone.

Candybright:

You have to be her legal guardian to invite her. You can actually apply for her to join you but you need lots and lots of documents including court approval. You also need to come back to Nigeria because they will request to see you personally before signing documents and all involved. The parents too need to be involved as they have to sign and acknowledge you as her guardian as well.

Aliyu40:


What’s the pressure here Why would you want a 16 year old to travel alone? On too holiday to cheer her up?? She’s not a adult….yet!

Rosement:

There is no pressure, I just did not want to spoil her mood. She might have told some of her friends that she is travelling this year. Thanks for the response, I will try to sort things out.

HRprof:

Close the browser go back to your email you received application submitted confirmation and click on visit your application link in the email it will direct you to ukvi then click on upload document and it will redirect you to Tls site to upload your documents.

jennyhumphrey:
Please delete the visa picture, too much information there, Congratulations

giselle237:
can you go to Dubai like 1 or 2 days before here and pick her up? I have siblings that have travelled unaccompanied at 14 before covid. You need to confirm with the airlines first and sort this out. If the airline gives go ahead then she has to be registered with them on flight day as unaccompanied and who will pick her up at the other end. The airline will take her through security and all travel protocols themslvs once this is signed.
But she should not be landing in Dubai or any country alone and having a holiday by herslf
If you can sort out the travel then go to Dubai before her like I said and when she lands you will be at the airport to pick her up.
She is still a minor. So think that way too.

Hello pls I will like to ask some questions about this Charity visa.

1. Can dependents work full time?

2. I know it is unpaid work but i read homeoffice allows you to work 20hrs per week on another job, can that job be paid? I mean the supplementary 20hrs job separate from the one with COS

3. Can one switch to a tier 2 skilled worker visa from the charity visa inside the um

Thank you in advance
