kim k's girl:
they said they usually call, so let's be expecting a call from them.

nubiangyrl: Hello Vicjustice, justwise and fellow nairalanders, a friend of mine invited me to canada for visiting, and i have collated all my documents, however my employer just payed my september salary today after waiting for weeks, then in addition to that, they ended up paying cash instead of the usual transfer. Please i hope this delayed salary payment and cash payment would not be seen as a red flag or irregularity because this is the first time such is happening and i have been working with my employer for a while now Please i need your urgent response coz i'm at wits end, it's bad enough i have been hearing all sorts about how tough canadian embassy is. I have gathered all possible docs i feel will aid me, but this employer thingy is beyond me

seyidollar4real: Hello house, pls i will like to know if the balance in the SOA is verified or is it the closing balance that is worked on, also how will someone know he has been banned(canada application)

lightofjoy: Hello, pls I have printed my account statement since three weeks ago when I have substantial closing balance. Pls can I still usee this statement dated three weeks ago. Thanks

lightofjoy: Thanks for your reply. Please I want to be educated more about this UK bond issue, are they still going ahead with it or what's the state now.

Vicjustice:
Though the issue of the £3000 bond was proposed, but unfortunately, there are controversies surrounding the idea and sadly, there are numerous heresy claims that i now consider it unreasonable to say which information is valid or invalid, I can't even verify a claim nor get comprehensive update even from authority

kunlebal:
Sup house, I have a brother that as been placed under ban @ the uk embassy for 10years, because he uses two different names. This is how it happen, he apply through an agent in 2008 with different name n was denied, reapply again in 2009 n denied again. He know working with a multinational company that want to send him to a conference in the uk, he applied with his real name n the embassy told him that he is un 10years ban since 2008 for using fake bank statement and fake name. What can he do to clear his name from the fake name

Vicjustice:
NOTHING.

worry 359: How simple do we have to make it??

Your brother is banned for 10 years for fake documents. UK takes this very seriously!

He can not reverse this by any means. No use appeals , lawers, begging or prayer!

Forget UK for at least 10 years.

kunlebal:
Ok but can he clear his name because they have two names for one person in there system now and again what's the assurance that this will not be use against him in the future application after 10years. Clear his name in the sense that the first name is not his own that he was mislead by an agent.

worry 359:

No
This has been covered hundreds of times!
UK immigration say that he is totally responsible for all and any documents submitted.
Using the agent excuse will not work, they have heard it millions of times.
He must serve his 10 year ban.
Also yes you are correct, his ban could affect any later application.
To make things worse USA and other countries could pick up computer records, bad wahalla!

Your brother must now make his plans at home.

Asorock 1: Vicjustice and good people of nairaland, I greet you all. Please I want you to clarify me on the following issues for UK visit visa;

1.) if my tax is been deducted by my employer at the end of every month as PAYE, when applying for UK visa do i need to present income tax clearance cert. or just my pay slips to show the gross and net and tax deduction, or both tax clearance and pay slips

2.) my company pays my salary into my account through cash deposits every month and not transfer but showing the name of my company as the depositor, this is the company's policy does it have any negative effect on visa application or could be seen as normal.

3.) just like I explained in the US visit visa forum, I intend to withdraw 1m naira from my salary acct to complete the purchase of a 3m naira plots of land, and I will make this withdrawal before applying for the UK visa so it will appear in my statement of account leaving about 900,000 in my account, will this amount be seen as little for a 7 days trip I intend to have my friend inviting me to co-sponsor the trip maybe take care of the flight.

3.) i have some personal notes/explanations to make when submitting my application, like why I will withdraw that huge some amount from my account, my previous travel to Dubai and Ghana, my long term future plans as why I need to come back to Nigeria, how and what address do i refer to when making the notes/letter Do I need to include all this notes in one letter or separate

4.) Will i present a flight reservation confirmation in the application if i have my friend inviting me to be my sponsor for flight.

5.) Does the CO take into consideration how much percent tax one pays , cos my employer deducts 5% of my gross income as PAYE or does this percentage varies

6.) I won't lie to you my brothers but this is what I want to do, please no abuse , just advice me and whatever you say i will follow ,I intend to put single in my application when applying for the UK visa, I'm married with a kid but considering the fact about UK, I won't get the visa with a 145k monthly income and with a wife who is not up to a year with her present job and a dependant too. I put married in my passport, but I only need to boost my travel history with UK visit so i can better my chance for US visa next year. Please do I need to single in my apple location and won't the embassy find out the information from my passport even thought it doesn't appear in my bio data

7.) i have been refused US visa and france once but in my UK application i intend to say NO that I haven't been refused any visa since i have no rejection stamps from these embassies. Is it ok I say No or yes Will the UK embassy find out

I'm sorry this is long i believe others will learn from this too but if nairaland and God doesn't help me, WHO WILL

Anticipating your urgent reply vicjustice and belove brothers and sisters.

God bless you.

Vicjustice:

1) Normally, and in a normal country where documents can be trusted without verification, it is ok to use your pay-slips alone, but because of the distrust of the Nigerian documentation, the embassy requires further proofs of tax compliance.

2) No, payment doesn't necessarily have to be made by electronic means.

3) This has more or less to do with the visa officer discretion, but be advised that VO does not like to think that an applicant trip will vastly affect his financial stance. And as for your expecting a support from another person, that alone is enough to result in the refusal of your application.
3b) If you write a note together with the application, the note shouldn't need an address, simply enter your reference number at the top. But if need be, address the note to the ECO including your GWF or/and VAR number.

4) That is not necessary, ITINERARY means travel plans and associated arrangements that you have put in place, that is what is required, not just flight ticket.

5) No, as long as it is not fraudulent, what they care about is the genuineness of tax compliance.

6) That won't be a wise thing to do, N145k by is about $1000 which isn't bad in world standard therefore, it is plausible in Nigerian standard: besides, there are people with half of that income, they still get visas with good financial circumstances.
Be warned that your intention would get you banned from the UK and may result in a life ban from the USA.
I should inform you that the information that you see in your passport are the things that you can visibly read, but 75% of the information that your passport contains are machine readable, meaning that they can only be read by diplomatic machines which are used by embassies and immigration authorities, therefore, they will definitely see that you are married
Furthermore, you may NEVER be able to rectify your marital status with the UK or the US as future attempts to correct this would result in complications

7) Give honest answer, gone are the day's that people can get visas by using deception, now-a-days, it is extremely difficult to use deceptive measures, you would be caught with grave consequences

herdeytohun: This is an informative post.
Please can I go to for the embassy with only the cover letter from the bank without the bank statement of account??
Please reply
Thanks

Vicjustice: NO, the embassy desires to see the bank statement for scrutiny and consistency
