remmer56: Dear Vcjustice as well as other appreciated advisors.. I have A̶̲̥̅ situation I need A̶̲̥̅ little advice on. I am 27yrs of age with A̶̲̥̅ job that I earn 136k monthly. I work with A̶̲̥̅ company here in lagos. In 2005 while I was in school, I once applied Fø̲я̅ A̶̲̥̅ visa to the UK as I got invited by my aunt who works in one of the court houses in London. However, she did provide details requested, but unfortunately, she @ dat time had only 400pounds in her account as at the time she printed the statement. I got A̶̲̥̅ refusal letter stating that she had not enough money in her account to fund my trip as she was my sole sponsor. Now years have past without me applying, I now work and intend travelling during my leave which would be in A̶̲̥̅ppxmately 6weeks from now. At this time, I have about 864k in my account as closing balance in my statement, going by this tread I noticed it sounds more like a crime to have that much considering my salary monthly, however, I do A̶̲̥̅ few sales apart from work. I sell african cothings in large scale part time, thus my balance as it nw seems my salary is untouched. Now, my question is, what do I fo to ensure this doesn't count against me considering my previous refusal. What do you suggest I do. I inheritted A̶̲̥̅ small shopping mall where I get rent from, although the finance does not go to this account I am using to apply, what are your thoughts as to my presentation and how best do you think I package it considering I intend applying myself and sponsoring my self this time.. Please anyone who has info on this, I would appreciate your help\advice. I wait on here... Thanks

mamalolu: Vicjustice,pls can u tel the website and how to track uk visa

aibisoye: Hi Vicjustice,
I work for a company that pays me 55k monthly either in cash or transfer. My Sister has invited me to the uk for holidays this xmas. She and her husband sent all the required documents . he has promised to sponsor everything from travel to money available etc. he is very okay in the uk. his closing balance is at 12k pounds. I want to know my chances, i have my contract, leave letter, id card, statement,i have been here for a yr and 3 months. I deposit the money given to me by my boss directly into my account and i put paid in by my company. They also transfer my salary to me via internet banking either from their personal account or company. Then i also receive money from my sisters at least 50K monthly and i have a house that was willed to me.My company also transfers hugh sums of money to me to make some transactions eg to get stock. how do i explain all these on my application.i have also been refused twice when i was in school because my sister and i have different fathers but the same mother

thank you so much

remmer56: Thanks Vicjustice, didn't mean it that way.. Howabout I state I plan spending 750pounds in my trip aside my air fare, do you think there is A̶̲̥̅ chance of my approval? Secondly, what if I present the second account where I have A̶̲̥̅ balance of 3.6m. Wouldn't it be questionable as to source, do I attach as well documents of my inheritted property which is my source? What are you thoughts on this? Thanks once again.. I appreciate your advice so far.

DECISION

***********************************

You have stated that your trip to the United Kingdom is to be sponsored by your mother, However, i must take into account your personal and economic circumstances in Nigeria when coming to my decision.

You have stated that you are a studentand i acknowledge that you have submitted a letter from this institution confirming you are a student. However i note that the letter contains no details of when you are expected to graduate and you have submitted no evidence of fees payments. As such you have failed to establish that your circumstances are such that your departure from the United Kingdom would prove to be an attractive prospect at the end of your visit. Therefore i am not satisfied that you are seeking a genuine visit or that you intend to leave the UK at the end of your visiit.

You state that you will stay with your Uncle in the uk at *ADDRESS* however you have not provided any evidence to suggest that you related as claimed, despite having the opportunity to do so. there are a number of documents that you could have submitted with your application to confirm your relationship. In the abscence of such documents, i am not satisfied that he is your uncle and that he is genuinely prepated to accomodate you. Therefore i am not satisfied that you will be adequately maintained and accomodated whilst in the UK or that you are able to meet the cost of the onward journey.

Vicjustice:
These other thing about your uncle and maintenance (whilst in the UK) ane all secondary reasons for the refusal, you would still have been refused even if you provided overwhelming evidences to substantiate your relationship with your uncle: the primary reason for your refusal is the fact that YOU ARE AN ADULT WHO IS NOT ABLE TO SPONSOR HIMSELF, your parents sponsorship might have been acceptable had you been applying for a student visa, but as a tourist (or fun traveller), you need to be capable to sponsor yourself and to have somewhat of an obligation (or home ties) to return to Nigeria for.
As harsh as it might seem, i must encourage you to withdraw your reapplication plan because, I don't see how you can get through it if you applied again in your current circumstance.

Donxavier:

OK. How do they expect the Nigerian Student to Sponsor himself considering the situation in the country? It's not like the UK or Us where you can take up part time jobs and make some cash along as your study. This is really annoying. So what do they expect?

Are you saying there's no chance at all once you are still a student?

smartmachine: Good day all,

A question here pls...

I got an admission at Newcastle and the programme is due to start by Feb 11. My dad is my sponsor and he has approximately the amount of my tuition fees in his account which has been held in the account for some time. Now he needs to add more funds to this account from his other account so there can be a good increase in the account I want to use for the visa application. But since I read about the 28 day thing, does it mean that even the new amount he wants to add to the account must also stay for 28 days before i can apply for visa?

Thanks in advance for ur responses.
