It basically means that you haven't traveled to any country with strict immigration rules similar to that of the UK...US, Canada, France..etc

tobey2ng:

Ok thanks but I was in dubai in january this year.

3sha4lyf:


I think Dubai may not have strict immigration border control hence entry permit can be issued at the POE on arrival at Dubai. But all these sorts of countries JW mentioned have "rigorous" immigration systems, from visa application till you reach the POE. And yhis is not to undermine Dubai; just that they have different systems they use to address border controls.

**** Your Advise is needed

I recently applied for a family visit visa to UK with my parent. They were giving and I was refused on the ground that they were unable to verify if truly am a student of da claimed institution here in Nigeria.
I went straight to sch to show da letter to my HoD and asked if he was contacted and I discover the embassy sent mail to the school 4 times to confirm if am a student and they didn't reply.

My question is can I file for a review of my application as soon as the school help me send the confirmation to embassy? or what can I do?

sanchezzz:
Good morning just wise and everybody. Please I need your help on this issue. I applied for tier 4 visa but was refused (financial issue though). So my dad said I should differ till September next year. By then my sis should be through with her prog in UK too. My question now is can I apply for 6 months visiting visa? I already paid half of my school fee.
Can I attach my school receipt with my application?That is the only tie I think I have now. Definitely I will come back to Nigeria to reapply for my tier 4 visa next sept. What are my chances please. Thanks in advance.

justwise:


Personally I think you should give it a break, you were refused tier 4 visa on financial ground and suddenly you want to apply for visiting visa? It will look desperate and will probably cast doubt over your previous tier 4 visa application.

Next year is not too far to wait.

Justwise, so I have this friend of mine who is doing her Masters in UK but she wants to visit me in the States during the holidays, how does she go about it, thanks for the response in advance

justwise:


When did she start her masters program here?

Malakh:
last month

justwise:


Ok, she needs a letter from her uni, her bank statement and student ID then an IV from you.

The rest will depend on her interview.

You can also ask the VO here https://www.nairaland.com/1792662/u.s-non-immigrant-visas-listening

Malakh:
I appreciate that, I'll let her know, I can't really invite because of my status, I have friends though, I was thinking that she could say she is going to the States for holidays and pay for an hotel while she is here with the receipt showing she paid for an hotel to stay during the holidays

Yea sure nothing wrong with that as long as she can afford it and still survive in the UK after her visit.

richard4ssky:
Please can someone tell me document I need to present to the embassy for a conference in UK please I need your advice

zengurl:
I have picked the percel and Was given. Praise be to God.

So when you get a mail that "Your Visa has been processed" means they have issued the visa. But if the mail reads "Your Visa Application has been processed" Then its otherwise.

Thanks pals

hello house i need your help Big time
i have been denied visa(refusal of entry clearance) 3 times by the UK which are:
First Reason(2009) - Insufficient Fund (Uncle was my sponsor for Student VISA)

Second Reason(2011) - (Source Of Income nt Disclosed)(Tourist Visa)

Third Time(2012) - My Bank statement not found in the application although i included it in my application and my sister in Nigeria was my sole sponsor and her account had like N3million in it not dumped fund, she explained her whole source of fund that she handles fathers property(Tourist Visa)

I never wanted to use my father as my sponsor because his source of fund can't really be explained, gets money from business( his biz not registered), land, property, family, military benefit, friends and his account is never stable. Today he might have 10million and in 2 weeks time its N500,000 so the money keeps going in and out without a concrete reason dat was why i decided to use my sister.

Now i visited other country(dubai) about last year and now i just feel that pressure to apply to UK, I'm not going there to stay because i just finished school and need to do my nysc , although by next yr september I'm going in for my masters in uk but i just want to apply during january 2015 for tourist visa. My passport don expire sef but imma renew it tho

DOCUMENT I WILL USE TO APPLY

1.My landed property(as a tie to Nigeria although C of O going be ready by Next year February or March, I'm Using these because i want to show a tie to my country)

2.My Bank Statement(Present Balance is N578,000) ( Total Inflow&Outflow for this year is going to be like N4million because when dad was on sick bed he paid in a cheque into my account and i was withdrawing for him and with these new cbn rule for N150,000 u can't withdraw above he draws the cheque in my name and i withdraw for him)

3.My Letter from Past school and NYSC(if thats going be possible)(As a Tie To Nigeria)

4.Hotel Reservation

5.My Passport

6.My Shares Certificate Worth N1.5Million

7.Letter From My Dad Of His Consent Of Me travelling

Then i guess i need to explain the source of fund coming in and out of my account to the Consulate officer.

Please help me out, my friend i spoke to yesterday said he got denied a total of 5 or 6 times before they granted him, This my fourth time and i feel tired, he directed me to an agent, he demanded for 70k. I used agent for the second and third application and it yielded futile results

My big question is that since i got no job, how can i explain the money in the account. the 578k is my personal fund i got from dad as a gift for grad n all. I don't want a refusal again. Should i write, i maintain some dad personal properties or dad gave me money and i get a letter from him.

justwise:


That will be a big problem for you because without any source of income as an adult getting a visiting visa is close to zero.

xtrix:


This been my major concern for sometime and nysc pays something around 20k a month with a local govt, do u think i'm good wit that to apply bcucz it too little for an adult to earn.. i was thinking, i should say i handle some of my dad's property n get a letter authorising me to do so. i'm confused

justwise:


Going on holiday to expensive place like the UK is what you do when you can afford it comfortably. 20k is nothing close even if you saved for 10yrs
