Lol. True and keep us updated on your journey, prolly some tips could be shared here from your encounters.
Fly safe
Got to the UK yesterday afternoon after 13 hours from the time my Turkish Airlines flight was originally scheduled to take off. That's about 1 hour late.

My experience at POE was bad. It took less than 2 minutes and my passport was stamped. I was asked the purpose of my trip and if I had a return ticket. I showed my invitation letter from my employer and that was all. smiley

Hi everyone. I was refused a UK visa.

I attached my employment letter, An introductory letter from my job, the company i work with is listed on the stock exchange. My sister is sponsoring me but she added a partial sponsorship. the response i got is below

REASONS FOR REFUSAL NRA v 1.0
You have applied for a visa to visit the UK.
In deciding whether you meet the requirements of Appendix V: of the Immigration Rules for
visitors (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/immigration-rules/immigration-rules-appendix-v-visitorrules), I have considered:
• your application
• your immigration history
The decision
• I have refused your application for a visit visa because I am not satisfied that you meet
the requirements of paragraph(s) 4.2 of Appendix V because:
• You state that you wish to travel to the UK for 2 months to visit family. I have considered your
application carefully as I recognise the importance of family visits. I also note that your visit is
being partially sponsored, however, I have taken into account your own stated circumstances
in your home country, the reasons for your visit and your proposed travel arrangements.
• In support of your application, you have provided your bank statement, sponsor’s details, and
other supporting information.
• You state that you are employed with a monthly income of XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX. You also
personally plan to spend £2000 on your visit. As evidence of your financial circumstances, you
have provided a bank statement under your name. I note the closing balance on your
statement is XXXXXXXXXX. I am therefore not satisfied that you have sufficient funds to cover
all reasonable costs in relation to your visit. This not only undermines the credibility of your
application as a whole but causes me to doubt your intention in proposing to travel to the UK.
• Given the above, I am not satisfied that you are genuinely seeking entry for a purpose that is
permitted under the visitor route and that you will leave the UK at the end of your visit. Your
application is refused under paragraph V 4.2 (a) (c) and (e).
@ Exchange rate £1 = 984 NGN 10/11/2023

I however have some fixed deposit investments which i plan to add in my reapplication. I didnt think i needed to add it before. Also my sister will be indicating that she will sponsor me fully. Will this help? I also run a business in Nigeria aside from my full time job. Can i add the Fixed Deposit certificates (they are 3) to the application and will this help? I didnt want to liquidate the fixed Deposits because i dont want the large amounts issue. Im actually only going to the UK for 4 weeks (Christmas and New year as i have to be back at work after new Years). And is there anything else i can use to bolster my application.

Please help

Thanks

Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 5 by giselle237: 11:29pm On Nov 14, 2023
Nobody that ever goes through a visa process and gets denied forgets the refusal. It is just a probity issue when we are asked if we have ever been denied visa and the spirit of deception takes over.
This is because you believe by concealing this fact, you can positively influence your decision and take away the visa officer’s mind from an impending next refusal.
You can never forget any refused visas or illegal entries or bad immigration history with any country. It is just not possible.

I literally said it was a mistake. And I’m including a cover letter to my application stating i inadvertently selected NO. If truly I was concealing it won’t bother to ask for a solution.

If you're going for 1month why did you say 2months
The initial 2000pounds was that all you intended to spend or you combined that of your sister?
If your sister states she's fully sponsoring then she has to supply her own bank statements to show she can cover that the cost of your visit. Have you checked flight tickets for December. If they are 2million plus that's already 2000 pounds at the minimum that they would expect to see in her account

Don't rush to reapply

Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 5 by pharrel1539: 4:40am On Nov 15, 2023
Not necessarily bad immigration or travel history when obviously previous visas was added in the list of documents submitted and issuing passport stated but in the column for countries visited was filled in error as No when I had actually visited another country which I uploaded the country visa for check.
