Vicjustice:
What has God got to do with the issuing of visa?
My friend, this thing is governed by laws and regulations, as well as terms and conditions with requirements that need to be met, and God recognizes such...

phemobay:

believe it or not, GOD is d paramount ECO, some people wl not put 1 or more of d required documents and still get it, while some can put all and still not get it.... so God's favor determines it at times

From the amount you earn it will be difficult for you to be given a visa, if you are still in doubt then make a mini-budget of the actual cost of the trip, estimate the cost of visa application, flight ticket, feeding, accommodation, transport within the UK. How much will you have left? How much of your salary will that be?

histamine: @justwise or @vicJustice
I'm currently in the Uk on a tourist visa(2yr). The thing is i need to switch to a business visitor visa. How do i go about this? do i have to come back home (Long thing) or can i apply through the home office here. I got offered a clinical Observer post and apparently i cnt do that on a tourist visa.

any advice you can give would be appreciated

Thanks

reginabellca:

i'm thinking of booking at croydon hotel which is like 11,500 per night. for 7 nights it would be 82,000 naira
flight ticket would be 140,000
transport and feeding in UK would be 28,000
then shoping would take 40,000. it would come to about 290,000.which is about 3 times my salary plus i still have saving to fall back on.

Godson311: Dear readers / posters,

Firstly i will like to thank justwise, vicjustice and other contributors on this tread for your support and assistance in helping people actualise their dreams of making credible trips/travel abroad.

My question: I submitted application for uk spouse visa and it's 9th week but still no feedback from them. The vfs tracking system displays no detailed stage of the application other than "Your application has been forwarded to BHC"

Any advice will go a great deal in helping cooling off the anxiety........... Thanks for you anticipated support

Regards

baslone: @justwise or @vicJustice- A quick one

My personal bank details show salary of 200k lodged into my account at the last week of every month for the past 5months from the company account. I am the CEO of the company and I intend to support my application with both my personal and company's bank statement.

Mt first question is- Do I have to issue/present pay slips to support the provision of a salary paid to myself?

Vicjustice: Spouse, settlement or family reunification visas are special rights category, though, they could come in few weeks in some rare cases, but most could take any time from 3 months to 3 years depending on the simplicity or the complication of the application.

dalobaba: God is truly the paramount eco. Nothing happens either good or bad without his consent. My mum has been given visa 3times without a bankstatement. I mean it. Thou they asked for it in her first application and she proved to them why she doesnt keep an account. She got her 2yrs visa twice without bankstatement. God skips protocols and procedures. Gbam!
