Nadison4real: Hello Nairalanders!

Pls I am new here and was introduced by a friend, I am planning on traveling to UK through a friend who is processing my document, according him he mentioned something of having a woman there who will help me in obtaining a legal permit to live and work there. He further said that with the help of the woman the immigration will give me a 2yrs permit upon the expiry date they will still extend it to another 2 years for six years and after that , A British passport will be given to me as a citizen. Pls I really need some advice from people living in Uk if this is true cos according him we will be going info a contract agreement soon with the British woman upon I will pay £5,000 based on installmental for one year while working there. Pls I need some serious advice from good NIgerian living over there if there's Job opportunities for JJC(johnny just come) thanks and waiting for your response.

If you got nothing important to do with that money put it under your pillow and sleep over it.

You can't call such a person a friend.

Justwise, pls is it okay for an international student to booked a 14 days hotel until he arrive in the country to search for suitable apartment? a friend has been searching for accommodation but all the those we found saying they cannot guarantee the availability in September.. So its on the school website that if student wish to book hotel and stay there for few days till the student will search for apartment that is fine.

What do u think? it's for Irish student though and Tuition has been paid in full plus medical insurance...

justwise:

Perfectly ok to do that.

Jahsgirl: Hi everyone,

Just signed up on Nairaland and will like some clarifications on my mums visa having gone through most of the post here.

She is an elderly woman, totally dependent on us her kids. Has travelled severally to UK and US. No rejections before. Last visa to UK was in 2005 but she didnt use it. Currently she wants to apply again, invitation by my older sis in UK, will also cover accommodation and feeding. Another sis of mine who lives in Naija is bearing the cost for the trip.In the past,my sis in London used to sponsor the entire trip.

We want to apply that she will be staying for 3 months. Now my questions are, what exactly should my sister here in Lagos write in her sponsorship letter and what is the approx cost for ticket and spending money for 3 months, is NGN600k okay to fill in the form as cost of travel? Also apart from bank statements and payslips, what should she include? My sister in London already sent her passport biodata page, mortgage and council tax documents and 3 months payslip, she's a nurse with NHS. Will really appreciate a reply. Thank you in anticipation.

Ecash Planet: Hello house,

Does anyone have an idea of the length of time it takes the UK border office to process a visitor-in-transit visa application here in Nigeria?

I haved checked their website, the only information on processing times is for other categories of visa application.

Kindly tell.

Thanks

Vicjustice:
Are you applying from inside or outside the UK?

tox2k:
Hi folks! Pls does anyone know how long it takes 2 process a first-time adult British Passport? Need 2 know urgently, pls. Thanks!

The sponsorship letter is basically going to state that she is sending her to spend sometimes with your sister in London...that the family ( your sister in and Nigeria and in London) will be contributing to her up keeps throughout the period as she is a pensioner ..bla bla blas

If you want to know how much it will cost then search for cost of ticket and the cost of things she planned to do in London...

I don't think that stating 3months is a good idea, stating 3-4 weeks sounds more appropriate since the visa duration is 6months anyway.

oln: Please justwise&vicJustice,I'll like to know if a leave of absence is compulsory since I'm already going to attach my PG admission letter to my UK application form

gbaby87: Hello house, quick question. On the online form, the part which says, 'how much money will be available for your visit' is that referring to money in your account alone or money combined if you're being sponsored for maybe the flight.

Thanks

Dis Guy: Na wa o

seems they need to rephrase that question, many people are asking that several times now
hope there's a support document online

justwise:




That question is basically asking you how much you have budgeted for the trip. How much will the trip cost you?

You can't answer that question if you haven't calculated for real how much the trip will cost you. The amount it will cost you is the amount available for you

That amount realistically has to be more than enough for the trip

loomjet: Please where can i find uk spouse visa forum on this site. thanks all

gentle julius: please i need assistance....am a nigerian residing in spain without residential permit.but i have a fiancee with a UK passport but not a nigerian.we are in love promise to marry each other.she works and owns her house.is it possible to get a visa here in spain to join her?and i do not know the visa to apply for if it is possible.....PLEASE HELP.

oln: Please justwise&vicJustice,I'll like to know if a leave of absence is compulsory since I'm already going to attach my PG admission letter to my UK application form

oln: @justwise;I'm studying and not working.I really don't think they give leave of absence in the school I attend(though iv never asked)Thought with that of my husband who's the chief applicant it covers for mine.I only have my admission letter and school fees receipt.One more thing,most of our documents(marriage certificate,admission letter are laminated.Hope it doesn't matter?

oln: But Vicjustice my hubby is actually the main financier and we are going together.He has his leave approval and I thought that will suffice because getting a leave approval from the school I attend may entail a very long procedure.Please clarify me on this

oln: @justwise&VicJustice;thank you soo much.@justwise;We intend travelling during the christmas break.

How about submitting laminated certificates,does it matter?
