That’s part of the fifty something thousand you paid, you don’t need to pay additional for certificate issuance. I don’t know if things have changed, but what did you see the 8500 is for ?

i didnt follow your story, but you may wish to shed more light on the below issues.

did you intend to book a hotel or stay with your friend?
your budget of 1200gbp/550k naira........is not enough, if you factor in flight = accomodation and food = tourist things for 10 days.

if you claimed you wud stay with your friend unto free accomodation (( not really advisable for a decently employed person)...did your freind send his rent slips and invitation letter?.

what was your closing bank balance in the bank statement you submitted?

if you have closing balance of 1.8m, why did you declared no savings? The 1.8m is not yours or accessible? If you will be provided with accomodations, then accomodations and feeding should be out of your budget. If your income for a month is £390 after monthly expenses, then Travel expense of £1200 is much for you against your income, you can cut it down since you are receiving support. The refusal is based on the £1200 (Personal cost). If ties is the major issue, it will be specific such as assets, Property, dependent or wide family range.

Passports don't leave Nigeria after your Biometrics, it's either at British deputy high commission in VI( if your Biometrics was done in Lagos) or British high commission (if your Biometrics was done in Abuja). These local DMCs are the ones that stamp the vignette on your passport after getting the decision from oversea DMC in your case which is sheffield. so the delay is at the BDHC.

Jocabasa:

A family friend sent an invitation letter that she will accommodate me. My closing balance was 1.8m

mommatriplets:


ok, there are so many factors which we dont know.
the 1.8m that is your closing balance, is your acct clean?...ie regular inflow and outflow??

2ndly, your friend that sent you invititation letter, did they include their rent receipts?, is the accomodation suitable enough to accomodate you?. whats the status of the friend inviting you??---the visa officer disregarded everything and homed in on your finances, perhaps sopmething isnt adding up. na only u and the agent know that one..


Lastly, this nigerian behaviour of mental indolence/not willing to understand how anything works, but relaxes and leaves serious matters in the hands of outsider who has no stake, agent gets paid whether or not you succeed...is not a good behaviour, i call it mental laziness.
for a serious and willing person, just reading 5 to 15 pages of this thread is enough to give you the information needed to apply for your own visa youself! , but no, people will run to agent..and when it doesnt work will turn around to say--they dont know what the agent did.

your application is pretty straight forward if you re-apply. reduce the £1200 and in the additional information section you can give a breakdown.
E.g £500- flight.
£200-300- for miscellaneous ( remember it's a 10d visit)
NB: accommodation is already covered by your childhood friend including feeding. He/She can also provide you with her rental agreement/council tax.
Okay I will do that. Thanks

It was an agent that did it for me I don’t even understand again

It is ok to use an agent for visa applications.
It is not all visa applications you can do on your own, I am sure you know that.
The issue is, most agent do not take their time to do good research and fact checking on client documents.
That is the challenge i notice most agent have, could be, as a result of overwhelming applications they received.

However, I support the idea of she applying on her own if she is well informed about visa applications, this process requires a lot of guidance, it is not something you can just hop on UKVI website and start on your own( Gurus will understand).

We have also seen cases where some persons applied themselves severally, and didn't get visas, until they used an agent and got it.

It is quite complicated, especially when we all know agent are not the ones to stamp vignette.

The decision maker is at the consulate.

So let us not trade blames, but help her out to find a solution.

We are all problem solvers here, let guide her through her re application process.

Thank you.

Thegamingorca:



She can apply for the visa herself as hundreds of others on this page have done and gotten before her.
