Prof Justice, time to put in the kids application. I've been schooled and graduated from your Institution, I shouldn't have a problem with the application.

But should I need to learn further Msc level, will still run down to you

Bless you bro. You just too much.

I really can't think of any though you may be asked why you left it too late to make the trip, just make sure that your return ticket is within your visa validity

Nothing much jare, I just wish I can reapply in december. I have asked my company to make all salary payment via bank transfer.... but was told it will show the company's name like XYZ company August salary... If I have to wait for another 6month then it's gonna be February before I can reapply... but there should be a way to convince the ECO about salary being paid in cash abi wetin u think nah...

Dear everyone,

Just some quick questions:

I am almost done filling UK visa forms for my wife and I. I intend printing out the bank statement by Monday after making payment for the visa this weekend.

- Can i possibly book a visa appointment for this coming wednesday?

YES, for Ikeja Submission Centre, I can guarantee you that.

- we intend travelling 1st of november, is this not too close?

No, about 90% of UK visa decision is reached in 14 business days.

- I have heard people talk about cover letter, is it necassary? What do i need to puit in the cover letter If i need to?

It is not a requirement, but cover letters may serve the purpose of trying to catch the ECO's interest or they may simply be a summary of the documents included in your application which also serves as a signed agreement that you will return back to your work and family at the end of your visit without breaking immigration law. Simply state your purpose of visit, your occupation, your commitment to your country, where you will stay whilst in the UK and assurance that you will return back after your visit without breaking the law

- I will be sponsoring the trip, do i need to include my wife's bank statements?

Yes, because each applicants are treated on their own merit, feel free to submit whatever document you feel can increase your chances of getting the visa especially as a first timer. For example, I included my children's school fees from creche, my house rent receipts since 2007.


- I want to use the Ikeja centre, is it true that it comes with an extra cost?how much is the extra cost and when do i get to pay it?

N18,000 which is included in the visa fee, therefore you'll pay approximately N50,000 for each applicant.

- Do i need to call my bank before i can make visa payment for the two of us for a six months visa with my naira debit card?

Depending on the bank and card, you may wish to contact your bank to get your One-Time Password (OTP)

Best Regards,

Good afternoon all,

I recently graduated and got an internship job for a year at a top estate firm in Nigeria. I'm 2 months into the internship, I only receive stipends (my point is I have little to nothing in my account)

I would like to travel to UK with my boyfriend. This would be my first time, he has worked and schooled in UK some years back, he presently holds a 5 years visa.

He would be my sponsor and would provide all documents and bank statements needed, we would book an hotel. He is financially capable to sponsor us both.

We plan to be there for 10 days. I would get a letter of leave from my office and any other document I need from them.

All my family members are here in Nigeria.

So, do I meet up with the requirements for a general visitor's visa?


Please respond, thanks.

FrontPageLawyer:


What about the 1.8M deposit raised by the ECO? Will it replect in your statement in December?

FrontPageLawyer:


It will be almost impossible for you to be given a visa because of the bolded, but you might want to wait for Prof. Justwise and Oga Vicjustice for further advice and how best you can present your application.

Teedle:


Thank you, I was hoping that the company stating I have a contract with them would be a good tie. I plan to apply in November, would be 4 moths into the internship. And are you saying it is not a good idea to travel with my partner? I felt his travel history may be of help to me.

funlover1:
Dear all,
Please confirm this is in order, my monthly salary is a little less than 300k while my wife earns about 100k.I will be sponsoring the trip,my acct balance which I intend to print out on Monday is about 1m while my wife would have abt 100k in her account by mon/Tues when they pay her salary...we intend to spend about 700k in total on the trip..kindly advise guys..I am trying to book d visa appointment for next wednesday

justwise:

Your salary is good but what made up that 700k expenditure?

funlover1:

Flight ticket for two is about 340k
Hotel reservation for two for 13nights is 177k
Living cost for two 150k
Total is 667k

Would you advise I reduce the living cost? To about 100k or less?

Yes that will help your application

Teedle:
FrontPageLawyer and Justwise thank you!

Any other heads up before I start this journey?

FrontPageLawyer:




List your partner's documents and also your own personal documents you both will be submitting.

Also, you have not answered Justwise question.

How much is your partner's monthly earning?

Is he fully employed or run his own business?

justwise:
[/b]
Yes that will help your application

FrontPageLawyer:

While not further reduce your expenditure from 13 days to 7days. The most important thing is to secure the visa.

justwise:


She did but I just realised that she is a visa/travel agent who has solicited for customers here before. I have to take down my posts.
