Thanks a lot @justwise i forgot to mention, there is this P60 End of year certificate doc my sister added among other docs & national insurance numbercard copy,,,would that help for evidence of her financial status..Thanks again

joxiri: Hello house
Pls can u guys confirm if this means a visa application has been refused
I was under assumption if it's given
The email will say the visa has been issued

. If email is from VAC, there is no way you can tell. But emails from UK embassy goes thus: Your visa has been processed and is ready for collection.it takes 2 working days blah! Blah! Or Your visa application has been processed etc..the former from UK embassy usually means it was successful while the latter means otherwise

Chrizizon: Thanks a lot @justwise i forgot to mention, there is this P60 End of year certificate doc my sister added among other docs & national insurance numbercard copy,,,would that help for evidence of her financial status..Thanks again

No, no need for those. national insurance card doesn't show how much one earn, P60 is just end of year paper that shows your national insurance and tax contributions.

justwise:
No, no need for those. national insurance card doesn't show how much one earn, P60 is just end of year paper that shows your national insurance and tax contributions.

Just Checked what that P60 means: If you are an employer, you must provide a form P60 to each employee who is working for you at the end of the tax year and for whom you have completed P11. The P60 confirms an employee's final tax code and shows their total pension and/or earnings for the year, as well as the year's total tax deductions and National Insurance contributions. If you're an employee, keep form P60 as a record for self-assessment purposes.

You are right, but it also shows end of year earnings which also proves ones financial stand. Have to do my home work very well..Thanks a lot @justwise

Hi House,

I know that the gurus in the house such as justwise and vicjustice are familiar with my case since April 2014. Unfortunately the thread went with crash of Nairaland. Briefly, it about the issuance of British passport to my wife and my brother-in-law who are British Citizen by Birth. Their applications as been pending at the London passport office since last year. The latest letter from the passport office written on in July 2014 is that my wife should call passport office and book an appointment for interview in London and come with documentation for proof of identity. The problem was that my wife last application to visit London for her identity interview in March 2014, was turned down and she was forced to withdraw the application and directed to transfer her passport application to BHC Nigeria for them to conduct the interview, which her had refused. Her passport was not stamped. Now I have been invited the attend a global event in the UK in September, 2014 on full sponsorship by the organizer. I was able request from the organizer that I would like to attend with my wife, which they accepted and have sent an invitation letter to me including her name. My question is what are her chances of getting a visa to attend the conference with me. Wont the ECO crosschecked her application with the last one that was withdrawn and conclude that she want to go on something else (which we all know). I already have a UK visa. I would be happy for any suggestions and documentation necessary to submit a successful application. Thanks for all the previous advises. Attached is the latest letter.

Chrizizon: Thanks a lot @Justwise . My letter to VO and list of docs to submit below, kindly check and see if i am towing the right line. Thanks again Bro



Reference Letter for Visa officer:
Please Note I am a business man and sole proprietor of (name and address of my company). I am applying for a visiting visa to enter the UK for the first time so i can be able to visit my sister who is inviting me and attend sister's son university graduation ceremony which comes up on the 25/11/2014 at (name of school).

I intend to stay in the UK for a period of 2 weeks (15/11/2014 to 30/11/2014). However i will be staying in my sister's house in London (sisters house address in UK) throughout my visit as she would be responsible for my feeding and accommodation. Please refer to invitation letter.
While in London, I also plan to see places like Buckingham palace, London eye, National gallery London, London underground and do some shopping at Oxford street in London. My sister and nephew have promised to take me around to see above mentioned places in London. This trip means a lot for me as my mother and some other family members too will be attending the University graduation ceremony for my nephew .

Nature of my business: Import goods and sell in Nigeria, goods are mainly clothing items, computer wares and other goods usually brought in from India, also I export Nigerian food stuffs to India on a medium scale.
Please note that my savings account is also used for my business transactions, mostly for funds transfer purposes since i have debit MasterCard that allows me to withdraw money abroad for transaction purposes. Usually funds are paid into my saving account by clients or handed to me by hand; you could refer to my bank statement for funds paid in lump sums at various dates.
My personal income yearly is between N700,000 to N1,100,000 as annual profits from trading activities. I will be paying for my trip (Flight tickets, small shopping) for which I have budgeted N250,000 and finally I plan to return back to India for a period of time for some businesses after UK trip.



Items submitted alongside my visa application form.

1. Travel documents (1 international passport)
2. Letter of invitation from my elder sister (Inviter).
3. Pictures of me and Sister and My nephew (sister’s son) to show relationship claim.
4. Utility bills from Inviter.
5. Copies of my sister's identification documents, passport data page, UK naturalization documents.
6. Originals and copies of receipts for shipment of goods from India to Nigeria from India postal service (post office) as trade proof.
7. Registration of business name document (CAC certificate and other registration documents).
8. Past messages sent and also received through emails to sister and my nephew (Document to support relationship claims)
9. Print out for Individual taxpayer registration details from FIRS Garki tax office, Abuja. (Evidence of Current Tax status)
10. Bank statement covering a period of 6months. (01/02/2014 to 31/07/2014): Evidence of Financial Ability to Fund my trip
11. A reference letter from my bank manager to the British Embassy

IMO, your letter is rather tooooo detailed; right thing done at the wrong time/for the wrong purpose.
One thing you have to accept is that these ppl (ECO) are really very busy fellows who have limited time to only skim through letters and other docs. You need not write like you're talking to them face to face. But if you summarise ur letter without stating how "the trip means a lot to you", or better still, in more straightforward and official way, I'm sure that would be nicer.

I don't mean any harm, I'm #JustSaying. I'm sure you understand because I've read thru ur previous posts and u have an idea of how skoin skoin operates in these ppls heads.

Something of this sort will be ideal, brief, yet without missing the main info. Feel free to use it, modify it, or just ignore/disregard it.

Hello everyone pls I need good advice, I was refused a U.K. Visiting visa last week. I know I cant appeal cos my sponsor in the U.K. Is my bro-in-law. I submitted my payslips, employment letter and statement of account which has a balance of 850,000naira with a monthly salary of 150,00naira. The reasons for refusal are: 1. ...I note that the payments into your account are all in cash deposits. I am therefore not satisfied these funds are generated from your employer... 2.You have stated that you are single, have no dependents and have declared no savings, properties or income from any other sources. Giving the statements you have made and the documentary evidence you have presented I am not satisfied that your circumstances in Nigeria coupled with your reasons for wishing to travel are such that you have shown...
I however did not state that the business I work for (a private school) is a family bussiness which could have shown I have ties back in Nigeria and what do I do about my account statement? My reason to visit U.K. Was simply 'To visit my bro-in-law and family' Should I have said more? Like how it's been 7years I last saw my family e.t.c. At this point what can I do?

No worries.

Let me also mention that your letter is detailed enough, there is nothing wrong with it, better to give detailed info than summary because you will not be there to answer more question. Your letter will do all that in your absent.

List the documents you submitted

I submitted my letter of appointment(dated 5years ago), leave approval, letter of introduction from my employer(whom is also my father), payslips for six months and my bank statement. For my bro-in-law: an invitation letter, copy of data page, original tenancy agreement and utility bills.

However my bank statement has all my monthly salary paid in cash. the reason for this is that the school (employment) is located in a small town in Ogun state and there is only one micro finance bank in that town which the school uses and such banks can not transfer money to regular banks so salary payments are made by cash to staff's gtbank account.

Ok, so at this point, what do I do? Is it ok to reapply immediately without coming off as desperate? And do I need to back my claims about the cash deposits with any document? For the second reason for denial which is based on not showing I have enough ties to make me come back home, do I state that I manage the business and since my parents are too old to run the sch (they're in their 70's)? What documents concerning the establishments do I need to back that claim with?

No probs, I'm thinking "DETAILED" isn't the right word I was looking for when I wrote "your letter was toooooo detailed " but at least you got the message.

Remember, feel free to use it, modify it or diss it. If you decide to do either of the first two, think seriously about if your nephew will like to give you another letter PLUS the main invitation grad letter from the university. So that means one letter from your sis, and the other letter from ur nephew becos if you r attending his grad, it's up to him to invite u for that, not exactly ur sis, If you see what I mean.

Remember to briefly explain any irregularities in your financial account so it's not taken for money lodgement. In the additional info section of the form, be sure to minute a little about why you're using your savings account for business purpose.
All the best.

You can leave it for next leave, you are now in better position to know how to deal with next application.

The crowd thing is normal at this time of the year, summer time is always busy for travelers and embassies.
