Vicjustice, if u remember i asked you about the ticket and you said it is not a requirement and i told him, and he got exactly the same reply from the VFS that buying ticket and submit it with application is not a requirement, which means you are right, so he also confirm it again from them to be very sure.

So, he mailed them again to re-confirm if Micro Finance statement is acceptable because thats where he has enough money, and they replied him that ''Yes''

Although i have helped him confirm again from a friend of mine i heard he recently used his Micro Finance too, but i decided to ask you and others here to be very sure even before he contacted the Vfs Embassy too.

He is a friend to me, so i just want to render the best help i can and thats what am doing.

Infact i must confess to you that i was the one ask him to contact the vfs by email directly or call them, and he did.

He has called me more than 10 times this morning that he is confused about the Pay Slip and his Micro Finance, the problem is he is getting income in cash and no pay slip purposely because the company he's managing is owned by his junior sister and her husband. So he's the one paying salary in cash too to people working under him. Your full advice will be appreciated if you can go through the lists of his available documents. Thanks.

Hi, Can anyone tell me if British High Comission know when person came back to Nigeria from UK. My sister came to UK to visit me in UK in 2010. She was given 6 mths visa but stated in her application that she wished to stay 4 weeks. She came back to Nigeria after 6 mths just before her visa expired. She would like to apply again this year.I am not sure if she should write in this year application that she stayed longer than stated in her last visit or just say that she came back after 4 weeks. there is no stamp in her passport with the date of return to Nigeria. PLEASE i NEED YOUR HELP!

Funny question. You too look at your question very well. You said your sister was given 6 month visa, and she came back to Nigeria after 6 months. You again said just before. There is a significant different between After and before

Was there no stamp on her passport exiting and entry Nigeria? I mean when she went back to Nigeria was her passport not stamp by immigration at the airport?

She is entitled to stay for any length of time even if she stated during her visa application that she intended to stay for 4 weeks; that shouldn't be a problem as long as she didn't stay beyond the validity of stay.
There will be a huge consequence if she tried to hide the fact that she stayed for 6 months: it's better to explain the truth on a change of circumstance than to conceal it and get banned for 10 years

My point in the last query is ''Since he's managing the company owned by his junior sister and her husband, and he's getting cash and using his micro finance account, and since the micro finance are ready to give him a letter stating he has access to his money there anytime... does he need pay slip,,, because there is no how he can get pay slip.. he only have the company tax clearance, and copy of the company cert of incop.

What do u think Vicjustice?

Thanks

Pay-Slip is not a necessity if his bank account shows his incomes and their sources. It is not a requirement to provide Pay-slips: what is required is EVIDENCE OF INCOME of which Pay-Slip is one of the options. Bank Account details is an alternative option if it shows evidence of incomes, and a third option is manual Pay-Advise letter (a cover letter written by employer company detailing one's position and wages/salaries). Besides these, I do not have other information

no stamp on entry Nigeria, not stamped by immigration at the airport on entry Nigeria

Was there no stamp on her passport exiting and entry Nigeria? I mean when she went back to Nigeria was her passport not stamp by immigration at the airport?
Re: Main Reasons Many Are Refused Visas by mrduke: 6:34pm On Oct 17, 2012
I mean she came back within 6 mths, just before her visa expired.

mrduke: no stamp on entry Nigeria, not stamped by immigration at the airport on entry Nigeria

That is strange, i know my passport was stamped when i visited Nigeria and it was stamped again when i left Nigeria. Without the exit or entry stamp in her passport she may have a problem explaining when she left the UK.

hello guys, first of all i know this is not a thread for FRANCE visa but i have searched for such thread and didnt see, the only one i saw was about welfare in france and didnt contain alot of posts. Here is my question.

I was recently denied visa to go to france on tourism purpose. Yesterday when i went to pickup my passport at VFS i was given a white paper where they marked 3 different reasons why i was denied but i am still confused because i submitted all authentic and necessary docs. Here are the reasons they gave me so one of you can please explain to me what it means and what i have to do to correct these mistakes because i am planning to re-apply next week.

REASONS ARE AS FOLLOW:

1) You have not provided proof of sufficient means of subsistence, for the duration of the intended stay or for the return of the country of origin or residence, or for the transit to a third country into which you are certain to be admitted, or you are not in a position to acquire such means lawfully. (dont know what this means. meanwhile i have a kenya tourist visa on my passport valid for 3 months but i have not gone.)

2) the information submitted regarding the justification for the purpose and conditions of the intended stay was not reliable

3) your intention to leave the territory of the member state before the expiry of the visa could not be ascertained.


Those are the 3 reasons. i really want to work on this reasons but i need to be sure what i am doing this time so i dont get refused for the 2nd time. I await your response my good people. thanks

Do you have any property? Do you include your property documents like plot of land, house? Do you have children and do u include a proof that you have children like family pictures and their birth cert?

But you did not give me enough information to work with.
Anyway, did you eventually give birth to a baby in the USA even after outrightly denying that you were pregnant?
If you did, it may be considered as FRAUD which is not looking good.
You might not be able to find out now, you can only inquire of this when you make another application, and if refused, you can then ask the visa officer of your status (trust me, s/he will definitely give you a honest answer): by policy, they are not obliged to disclose that information unless you ask them.

Hello,

Lets know the docs. you submitted with your application and how much was your account balance when you applied for the visa. These are the key pointers... VFS will normally tell you to keep the docs. that are not required for your application but lets know what you submitted.
