Do you have your birth certificate?if you don't have your birth certificate,then I wii,l advice you to go get another affidavit and maybe you can plead with them to backdate it, that is if it's issued in Nigeria.another thing you can use is the pictures your parents took during or after your birth in uk.. But as it stand now, you don't have any evidence to show that you were actually born in uk cos the hospital don't have your record also.ask your parents if the hospital collected your finger print after your birth then..that might help you

justwise: @tox2k

Go with your Daddy and get another affidavit and use it.

tox2k: Thanks. I still have my birth certificate. Also they still have my mother's name and mine on record in the hospital. As for fingerpints, I really hope so.

Hi Justwise, I have another questions. Thanks for previous responses. Like i already stated, i applied as a general visitor. I left the UK last year, after my masters. I'll be visiting a friend, this easter, for two weeks. The bank statement i have for the US is barely a month old. I still have an active UK account, but don't have a 6-month statement (this for this past month), and to be frank with you, it's the person that invited me that transferred additional money to my account, and i printed my statement on the same day. The reason being that while i was working in the UK, my salary was paid directly into her account (A letter authorizing that was sent to my employer) and i requested for money as the need arose. I have my payslips from July to Dec 2012, showing how much i was paid.
I also have my Nigerian account statement which shows transactions in and out, for 6months, up until jan 1, 2013, but with a meager closing balance.
What hurdles do you think i might face, in terms of evidence of funds?

thanks

tzetzefly: To answer this question about foreign trips done from your country of residence except to the UK in the last 10yrs,does it mean you have to start listing all the countries you have gone to, including African countries? If this is the case, the column/space provided for these details, is not sufficient.

What should one do in such circumstance, judging by the insensitivity of the ECO who could presume you're withholding information if all your travel details are not shown?

Vicjustice:
They are not compulsory, just write "VARIOUS COUNTRIES"

justwise:

Those are red flags there. Two things that will probably go against you are: You don't have a strong tie to US and you are not financially capable for the trip.

Your bank statement gave away everything.

Surestboyxxx: hi, can someone Advice me on this..I am planning to visit UK during Easter period.

Here is my case:

1-I am presently studying in USA, means i have my F1.
2-I have visited UK last year May.
3-My aunt that invited me as visiting to UK last year ,she has relocated to USA now.

I am thinking of applying for Tourism VISA and i will be the one sponsoring myself using my USA bank statement , is that a good idea? and also is it the 6 month or 2 years renewer am i going to apply for?


Yes you have to apply for tourism visa and don't forget to let them know that your aunt has relocated to usa,therefore you don't have any family in uk anymore..make you write that in the empty page they will give you.its really important oo my brother cos they will refer to your last visa and they might start telling you about your family you claimed then.
Since you have been to uk once then you are qualify to apply for 2 years visa as long as you can pay the visa fees...you are good to go.. Wishing you best of luck in your application

Vicjustice: Unless you specifically ask them, Visa Officers are not obliged to tell you whether you are banned or not: If your visa application was refused, and the reason (or part of the reasons) is on the basis of deceitful attempt etc, then, you are under a ban 100%.
Don't be deceived by the "rights of appeal" you would still be given that right due to the category of visa that you applied for: but nothing can over-turn a ban unless the embassy was wrong in misjudging your documents to be fake etc. Well, you should know by yourself whether you were caught with deceit

sfatoki: one way ticket i meant to say.

Thanks Justwise,

Okay. Remember i said my salary was paid into my friend's account, up until december, and i've got all my payslips to prove that. I also spoke to my bank in the UK, and they are going to send me my bank statement, from August. That means i can now use my UK bank statement and my Nigerian bank statement.
What's the implication involved in using my US bank statement? Can you please suggest what i can do to get this application right?
Thanks

Surestboyxxx:

What documents do you guys think i can summit , i would be glad if anyone can list it for me..

Thanks

Thanks bro, but there is still a question, I am sponsoring myself that means i am using my bank statement of account which my school fees and my cousin tuition fees have go into it recently which is large amount, hope that will not be a red flag? or is there any write up i can do toward it?

Vicjustice:
The red part doesn't look good

Use your UK or Nigeria account if you have enough money for the trip on them, avoid late payment into any of those accounts. You have 'contaminated' your US account by making late payment into it and printing the bank statement the same day.

smartmachine: hello all,
someone just asked me here if the ukba will give him an extra four months or less if he is given a one year visa for his tier4 visa for masters degree. please people who have an experience should shed more light on this. justwise what can u say to dis?

mypearl: pls i need the advice of the house. in 2009 while planning for my wedding i applied for a UK visa with the intention of going to shop for the wedding but was denied. Reason was I had too much money that was not part of my salary. I asked my husband to use the acct then for his business so large sums was moving in and out of it thinking it will improve my chances. the denial letter stated i had too much money which was not accounted for in my application. though there was the option of appeal i didnt border.
Now my husband and i with our 7mnth old baby wants to travel for summer. in order to avoid errors we decided to use an agent.I wanted to change my passport data to bear my husband's name but the agent adviced against it.
but my concern now is that do i stand a chance with my old passprt? the agent is charging us about N350k.Is that not too high? his reason is that he is charging that much cos i have been denied before.
we have the neccessary funds for this trip. i work and my husband works and does business on the side. our joint sal is above 500k
Do i need to change my passport or i shld use the current one as advised by d agent.
is the agent chg not too expensive? is my refusal to appeal going to affect my chances?

Justwise and others pls advice

Waleabimbola:
You case is solved then,since you still have your birth certificate, just go with your birth certificate and the new affidavit..the embassy knows how to trace the rest and forget to name the hospital and possibly their contact number and email so as for the embassy to contact them.wishing you all the best
