Hello everyone its been a while here....pls gurus in the house...I was in the UK December 2020 and I left the UK may 2021 which is after 5 months...today makes it a year that I left the UK I want to go again in December....I think I have respected them by not over staying so I should have a big chance of getting the visa again right? My other question is should I apply for six months again or 2 yrs...your response will be appreciated pls...I want to start the process soon....

You mean you stayed in UK for 5 Months on a 6 Months Visa and you're saying you didn't over stayed ? When you submitted your UK Visa application did you tell them you will be staying for 5 months ?

I also got a refusal letter today, imagine waking up and gbam! The email just dropped. The two reasons why i was denied was the large sum of money I received between December and January, the money didn’t have a narration, now i see the reason why when transferring money from one of your account to the other, always write a narration maybe “savings” or just state what the money will be used for. I didn’t explain the large sum in a letter to UKVI. The 2nd reason was my company i work for, they said they checked it on CAC and it showed “INACTIVE” omo i weak!!! I’ve been working here for 3 years now. Guys please how soon can I reapply, i was advised by a friend that i should wait for 6 months. That is far. Has anyone applied immediately after they got s refusal and got the visa eventually or they waited 6 months. I will gladly appreciate your answers please. Thank you

thank you bro...I didn't break any rule I was just with my uncle and I purchased a car and shipped it back to Nigeria with other goods in it.

shewa12345:
Thank you so much. I have a quick question. Although they didn't explicitly mention CAC in the letter, this is what was mentioned:
"Home Office checks have confirmed that this school is currently inactive and therefore not operating and generating any revenues.". Does this refer to CAC? Also, she pays tax every month to Lagos IRS. Is this different from annual returns? I know annual returns should be filed once a year so I'm guessing it is different. I will please appreciate more information.

Thank you again.

You did not overstay, but this might raise a flag with an ECO. You were issued 6 months because it is standard. How long did you state on your application that you will be staying for?

giselle237:
removed my little advice as you say all is well.

Wales1111:
so the conclusion now is that I should not bother to apply for UK visiting visa ?

Hello. If I understand you correctly you were asked to contact the application centre. If so, have you gone there to check if your passport is ready for collection?

9ger:
You're funny (Nchabuomo), staying 5 months on a 6 months Visa is NOT overstay but the Visa officer will wonder what he or she is doing for 5 months and might conclude that he/she took up work illegally while in UK. Do you ever wonder why they refuse some UK visa Renewals ? This is one of the reasons.

dirolad:
you can apply, but explain what you did for the 5months or what made you stay other than what you stated in your entry form inside the cover letter you are submitting, else you might be refused because of that. Thier refusals is full of doubt doubt doubt.

Nchabuomo:


Dude you DO NOT NEED TO EXPLAIN WHY YOU SPENT 5 MONTHS! Make a regular application and submit.

Kenola01:

See stop saying what you do not know! Overstay is when you overstay your visa duration in this case 6 months. You are creating a scenario that is not there. The ECO cannot not create scenarios from their ass without any evidence to support that. Nothing shows that the applicant worked within the said months in the UK hence that cannot be an issue.

Wales1111:
thank you I have a letter of permission sent to my mail by my employer replying to My request to extend my leave due to Nigeria being on the red flag of the UK and no flight was coming into or out of the UK to Nigeria and vice versa...it also addressed the fact that they understand I didn't intend to bring the virus over to Nigeria or to contact it in Nigeria....do they said they gave me till the middle of the year to resume back to work which is last year June...they also stated that I have used my 2021 annual leave like that....and that's it I didn't travel last year because I have used it...I will have another
leave ending of this year....
