Vicjustice: Invited for training on what, is it House-Keeping or something like that?

dtraveler: I don read tire, and still no answer here.

My mum is about to apply for a visa to the UK, and she's being invited by her brother in lawyer, who is a senior lecturer at the UEL. What documents should be presented for her visit, putting into perspective that I will be the one sponsoring her. I am a business man, and already have a 2years Visa which I got this June.

I will really appreciate a swift response from the big bosses here, as I have spent almost 1 week to study this and its causing wahala for me.. everyone thinks I haven't been taking it seriously...My uncle in law has been in 9ja since 1 month and as been calling the family requesting for documents to present, and everyone is waiting on me!

awumen: answer me now abeg @vicjustice, thanks for your quick response but i will like to add that my wife was issued a two year visa in her own case,so why didnt they see the payment i made into her account has 'lodgement or violation'

philipin7: Pls i came across this site and i have some questions to ask about family visit visa.
I intend applying for a visa in October or November 2012, then my husband would have saved 6,000pounds. He is going to be my sponsor' I work as a receptionist and i have like 450,000naira in my account, earn 45,000k but i was able to sell a piece of land i have in May.Pls i want to know if these monies available will be ok

Secondly, i am only entitled to only 2weeks paid leave in a year and i want to apply for a 6 months visa. I dont think the company will agree to draft a letter permitting me to travel. Is the 450,000 is my account enough to prove that i will return back to Nigeria.I intend explaining in my form why wont have a permit letter from my office. Or do i just discuss with my MD to draft a letter for me. Pls i need ur advice.

Thanks.

philipin7: Thanks for your reply

My husband is a British citizen he works as a Health care assistant in NHS hospitals and earns 1,300pound monthly.

philipin7:
If i cant get a letter from my office granting me leave what do i do, if they agree to help by drafting a letter for me what then.

philipin7: And the 6,000pounds my husband is planning on saving is it ok?

philipin7: Or do i skip the month i deposited the huge sum and start afresh from a new month to present my statement of account

Pls advice me on how to go about this..

Thanks

hailolive: hey i need some light on this.
Planning to visit the Uk for vacation,. My wife is a british citizens as well as 2 kids. we both live in nigeria until early this year when we decided she goes to uk to settle down and be able to file for me from there after a year of settling down
Right now i would like to visit the Uk for vacation. Should i just apply as a general visitor as she is on Benefits and don't want to go through her since she is yet to settle down
In the past., i have applied through an agent with a different name in 2007 but the biometric sold me out. So i am thinking if i apply now with my real name and provide legit requirements for visit would i stand a chance or would my past still haunt me? I have been to southafrica, dubai and some african countries.

Vicjustice: You already have a 2 years visa, then you are not a novice in this

But if you are considering the use of a Company's account, that would be unacceptable (even if you owns the company). For a company's sponsorship to be acceptable, you would need to be applying for a training or a course or a seminar that would be deemed profitable to your company in order to satisfy the visa officer of the purpose otherwise, it would be judged that the money in the company's account is not available for your use: unless your company is offering you a complimentary vacation under its care.

dtraveler:

That's correct bros, but, in your post here: https://www.nairaland.com/967110/main-reasons-many-refused-visas You stated something else clearly.



I only have business visas. And am not even sure for which one to apply for, for my mum, and since I only operate my business account, it's best for my uncle in law to handle all supporting documents. Please advise what sort of visa should be applied for.. family visit?... and the documents my uncle should prepare. That's just about it broos, thanks..

Vicjustice: I trust that you are aware that you can not use your "business account" as sponsor if her intended travel has nothing to do with the business. And as for the visa category, i can't really suggest the kind of category that is appropriate for your mum since the purpose of visit wasn't
mentioned:

dtraveler:

Yes, she's simply going to visit her sister and kids, with the brother in law. And of course to experience the UK. My uncle is a senior lecturer at UEL, and also owns a home there. What are the documents we should gun after.

dtraveler: Thank you. I will check now. I suggest a link on this platform where most of the details will be clearly spelt for the different categories, so it can be referenced to anytime.

philipin7: vicjustice in case you are not aware

New immigration rule for spouse visa states that a sponsor of a spouse must have a minimum of 18,600pounds as gross annual income
My husbands annual income is 15,600 so we dont qualify. Thats why we are applying for 6 months. He has just 6,000pounds available for a 6 months visa

philipin7: since i am entitled to 2 weeks paid leave in a year, i can get a letter from my office permitting me to go for a 2 weeks christmas holiday. I intend to state in my form that i will stay for 2 weeks only while apply for 6months visa. If i have this letter from my office and a sum of 500,000naira in my account, is this ok? i will skip the month i put in a lump sum and start from the following month. And again my husband will sponsor me during the visit.

For now he does not have 16,000pounds for spouse visa that's why we want to start with a 6 months visa. We have available 6,000pounds for the 6 moths visa

Pls tell me where i am not getting it right

Thanks
