I’ve seen stories like this on the student section. You could ask there and I’m sure you’d get help. Your case is pretty straightforward tho. People misplace their BC every time since there’s no digital record or storage. An affidavit should help. But then, telling them why you had to get a new one and adding proof that shows you’re indeed the parents works too.

Thanks but I intend getting an affidavit from high court and also a police report to back it up. But I’m already here in the UK

Thanks mate! I’ll post this there.

Good evening house, please can I withdraw the funds in my POF after my visa interview?

Opeyemi007:
At all. The complicates it more. Why would NPC make that kinda mistake. The best thing is to say they lost the original BC and had to get a replacement from NPC. They could supply pictures from the naming ceremony, pictures from Preggy days with dates showing that period.

The issue now is that UKVI sent a message recently asking why a kid that was giving birthday to over 4yrs ago is having date of 2024 on birth the certificate which is the date the birth certificate was issued. Also to explain the document i submitted to obtain this new birth certificate.

I think from his explanation it is straightforward that it was a typo from NPC/hospital and asking whoever issued that document to issue the right one. Yes, he can add a court affidavit that the first document was misplaced to backup his claims.

PS: They already queried his application and doubting his intention that it was a fake document that was submitted. Someone has to take the blame for it.

The 2024 on the birth certificate is the ISSUANCE Date, not the DOB. It cannot be a typo because it was indeed issued in 2024 although the baby was born in 2020. NPC will not backdate the issuance date. Poster should explain circumstances surrounding the loss and provide stuff to confirm they’re indeed the parent. Like I said, it’s not hard at all. Seen it plenty times on the student thread.

Thank you Opeyemi, you really understand and captured my mind on this reply. I’m getting an affidavit and also a police report to that effect. And perhaps, add a short cover note explaining what happened to the old birth certificate.

Thank you so much for your insight on this.

Thank you so much for your insight on this.

Pregnancy pictures, birth pictures, subsequent birthday pictures, family outings, hospital appointments and letters, school fees receipts, examination report cards, pictures and everything you can lay your hand on capturing their life from when they were conceived till now will prove you are the parents in addition to a cover letter and affidavit explaining the circumstances of the case

The picture is clearer now. Thanks!

It makes no sense they queried his application because of the date it was issued given the fact it is an official document.

The US won't do such!

They queried it because of child trafficking. People bring in other people’s children and/or their siblings kids as maids and arrange birth certificates quoting their names as though they were the parents. If you truly delivered the child 4 years ago they feel child should have its registration done then or closer to then and not when you are about to get a visa is the point they are trying to make.
For exceptional circumstances such as this case where poster says the initial ones were lost, there must be other documentary proof to show you are truly the parents. All of these have been listed and he should provide them to the best of his abilities. The master proof remains DNA test.

Point on! Adults don't get squeezed like this.

Hi guys, please do UK only send decision letter when application is refused? I did a paid call now to follow up on a visit Visa for my mum, the officer said decision has been made, and then asked if I have not received a decision letter.

Yes, most often times.
But there are times when refusal letters are not sent, applicants will just open the passport upon receipt and finds no visa vignette stocked inside.

My use of all scheghen countries was for this forum only of course I dint use that in my application, I stated the number of countries, I dint even mention all that I have been to and I used just two business which is sales of cameras and other production equipment, i also showed my airbnb earnings where I get paid by airbnb directly into my US account, I showed all the evidence to show that I own the houses I use for airbnb, wrote a detail cover, trust me i think the only thing I dint add was my tax cos I dint see it as a requirement and I don't even pay tax (my bad) I just felt paind that I got rejected infact I did hold my pasport as I am on a business trip, so trust me i did everything right paid my self 500k for 1 year spent just 150k monthky from it also showed my us acc and showed that I most of my spending was from the US acc and my airbnb earnings went there, I think i did my best and I will just leave them maybe I will go when I get a dual citizenship that doesn't require uk but then again I was honestly just trying to add uk to one of the countries I have seen as I am on a mission to see all them counties, but it is what it is.

From your statements it looks like you are using business account to apply. if this is the case, you have to change it. Read issues with this. why not pay yourself for 6months and let your budget fall within two months of your disposable income (salary minus all expenses) when you get the visa u can do whatever. Then your business will now be the tie to your home country. Using business account to apply if this is the case, UK most times frowns at it. I think you need to work on your documentation; payslips etc. Make sure any huge cashflow in and out can be explained with evidence.

Advise on supporting documents for Global Talent visa application

I have 5 dependants but intend to travel alone. On the visa application website, only the following were mentioned as required documents
- Int’l Passport
- Endorsement Letter
-TB Certificate

However, upon completing my application and paying IHS and visa fees, a checklist was of required documents for my visa appointment was generated but none of the documents above were mentioned (although there are blank space for me to list additional documents I wish to provide).
The documents listed on the check list are:

1. Information about your visit
Documents showing any plans you have made, such as: tour details / flight details / letter of invitation / evidence of sponsor's immigration status in the UK

2. Home address
Documents showing where you live, such as:
Property deed / mortgage statements / tenancy agreements / accountant's letters / land registration documents

3. Money (either income or savings) Documents such as:
Bank statements / bank books / bank letter / balance certificate / tax returns / crop receipts

4. Evidence of assets
Documents showing that you own property or land, such as:
Property deed / mortgage statements / accountant's letters / land registration documents

5. Additional Information
Evidence of family members remaining in your home country whilst you travel.


Keeping in mind that it is a global talent visa application where I already have endorsement, are these documents listed on the checklist compulsory for me or should I just stick to the three mentioned during my application?

Moreover, what type of documents do I need to for items 1 to 5 in the checklist?

I have my appointment booked for 13th September

Am at this point; please can you put me through. I believe you have gotten the visa too, so which did you go for?

Good evening, please an agent is helping with my mom’s visa application. Is the reason stated here enough. Looks mediocre to me. She’s retired. Any advice please?

She can use her ties with a church or mosque, is her husband still alive? Does she have any animals? Any association she belongs to? The reasons stated here are very generic. More importantly, I think she might as well add a letter to the application.

Hi all,
Pls I need information. I am currently in Canada studying. Entered canada September 2023. I have a part time job also. I want to visit my cousin in the UK during the summer holiday for one week. Pls what documents should I submit. Thanx

Good Morning All,

Please as a visitor coming into the UK, would he/she be asked how much he/she is bringing into the UK? And if Yes, how much is the minimum he/she is expected to come in with.

N.B: His/Her sister is providing accomodation and feeding.

Thanks in advance

I feel the less informationyou give the better. Cos its like giving thema reason to deny. Cos ots theybr lookig 4 a reason to. Reminds me of when i was applying for my husband and put his company as sponsor. I put all them CAC documents they denied him subsequently i put him as his sponsoramd excluded the business angle. We got the visa. When u hv so much information its easy to find a loop hole. Try giving less information if possible.
My 2cents cos that was a long time ago.

MrSoftlife:


Try and reduce your documents in your next application.
Your highlight should be your ties to Nigeria (try and get a tax clearance certificate for your business) and your previous travel history. Even 2 months' bank account statement will suffice.

Please what is the current cost of applying for Visa. My wife is already in the UK and working as a Paramedic. I and my daughter hope to join her soon but I don't really know the recent cost now. That gov.uk is confusing with too many information. I heard that some certain medical jobs cost less to apply for their family to come in. Is this true.

Thanks in anticipation hearing from experience minds

Guys I just want to encourage everyone on this journey not to give up, It's not easy at all, my very very long journey came with a lot of headache, sacrifices, mental and financial breakdown but today I share my testimony with everyone, it feels so unreal and my prayer is that everyone on this journey will finally testify in Jesus name, Amen

And thank you to everyone who in one way or the other contributes to the success of this forum, you guys are the real hero.

Can somebody please answer me.

Use the COS details to apply. If eligible for health and care visa tick that when filling the form, this would half the visa cost
