Yes, I appreciate.

Cashmadam:


Yes you can. I believe the start date of the new visa will be after the expiry date of your current visa. To the best of my knowledge, there is no provision for "overlapping visas"

I hope this helps.

Good day Cashmadam and others,

My Uk visa expires in 2months, kindly confirm if I can re-apply for another UK visa while I have a valid Uk visa.

Thank you.

Cashmadam:


It would have been nice if you can use your saving account in addition to the other documents you have.

Your husband will be your ties to Nigeria. Please ensure you fill the visa form carefully and include your marriage certificate, your husband's passport data page and all relevant documents of your employment.

Good luck!

Yes, that’s flexi on TLS site.
It’s N99,000 per person.

MiraNews:
Hello all, please do you know if Ikeja tls still accept walk-in for visa application? Thanks. If yes, is it still 40k per person?

You can.

Raytento:
Hello

Recently got my visa. Is it true I can't travel with beans from Nigeria?

Thank you

You will have to book, choose a date and pay on TLC site.

abubakar123olat:
Do you mean I can go for biometric at tls without booking an appointment?

Congratulations.

Yes, you can attach the refusal letter.

You will need to book another appointment for biometrics, you can choose Flexi(Walk in).

Jerry1997:


While addressing the reasons for the previous refusal on a separate cover letter, will it make sense for me to attach the refusal letter? And am I going to book another appointment for biometrics? Cuz Canadian biometrics is valid for 10 years, I don't know of UK own. Thank you.

Reduce your budget as advised
Calculate your monthly expenses again using your account statement… if possible, reduce it, N600k is high.
Address the reasons for the previous refusal on a separate cover letter carefully with evidence.

Jerry1997:


I didn't add my savings evidence. I only talked about it in the explanation letter. Can I add some other sources of income like sales of property in the new application?

My Sister.

Cashmadam:


You can apply for her. Who will take her for her biometric appointment?

Ashirioluwa:

 

You said you're currently on vacation in the UK, but you will come back home to get your child if his or her visa is approved and then travel back to the UK with your child for vacation.

While I don't think you're lying, the VO might not find your story convincing because it resembles that of someone planning to relocate permanently to the UK with their family while they are on a visiting visa.

Anyway, you can try your luck.

How do I convince the VO in this case please?

.

Cashmadam:


Most will get a decision in 3 weeks.

Please advise, I want to sponsor my Kid to come for a visit during school holiday. I am on a vacation, I came in earlier, will be going back to accompany her once the visa is approved, we intend to return back together.

I have gotten an Invitation letter from a British family, I’m not the one inviting her, I’m just going to accompany her, kindly know that she has been to Uk once.
What’s your advice? Should I go ahead knowing that I am in the Uk at present, for vacation.

Application submitted September 6th
Biometric September 15th
PPR January 31st.
I have been to several countries but the wait for Canada is excruciating.
Be patient and success to all those waiting 🙏🙏

If the amount you intend to spend for your trip is 4000 CAD, then, it’s advisable to have like N8m+ in your savings account.

Don’t forget to declare and explain any lump sum showing on your POF statement.

EverblazingTee:
Hi everyone, please what is the fund requirement for Canada visit/tourist visa? I'll appreciate any help in the right direction.

Congratulations 🎉

Thank you all. Good luck to those still wanting.

Apt!
Hence, it’s advisable to prove your Source of Funds using a cover letter especially when you have lump sum.

Madukachase:
You can use the asylum as something to support your claim. But not accommodation, health facilities, and job availability, because visitors visa holders does not benefit from any of that. Regardless if you have a strong profile getting a visit visa is still very easy.

For example:

Older people are less likely to seek asylum. We have seen parents visit visa getting approved in weeks.

Married people with kids and responsibilities are less likely to seek asylum.

People with good and real verifiable employment are less likely to seek asylum.

People with Business and properties worth millions are less likely to seek asylum.

* When you are desperate to leave your country ircc will know.

You will start submitting unnecessary documents, start drawing your family tree. Lol. Merging suspicious bank statements with unexplainable lump sum.

Imagine you claim you earn 400k per month and you submitted bank statements of 6 month with no monthly deposit of 400k from a company. These ppl are not fool.

* How many rich ppl do you see that pray for visa miracle? ALL YOU NEED ARE GOOD DOCUMENTS AND PROFILE. not Miracle or luck.

It doesn’t have to be colored copies, some of us used “Black and white” copies. The guys outside the VFS would probably tell you it must be colored because they want to do business. They accept any.

nkem2023:

l

Also go along with two coloured copies of your passport data page
MUST BE COLOURED!!!

Raise a webform to this effect by sending(upload) the old biometrics receipt to
IRCC using

https://secure.cic.gc.ca/enquiries-renseignements/canada-case-cas-eng.aspx

and mail to nrobi-immigration@international.gc.ca.

Alvinbrownn:
Hi guys, please I need your help I got a request letter from IRCC to pay $85 for biometrics. And have the receipt submitted within 7days. I have done biometrics, which was in 2020 during my PR application that was refused in 2022. do I need to pay for a new biometric or just submit the old biometrics receipt?

You or her Dad can sponsor her, however, it’s also advisable she submits her personal bank account statement showing some funds that she is doing well in her home country.

mumayo:


Thank you for your response.

I knew someone whose application was refused because of financial cost, their relative in Canada had sponsored them. I thought me acting as her sponsor would jeopardize the application, hence i suggested our father.

What documents can she provide as proof of ties to home country?

emilyn:
Good morning, house, I am an international student in Canada. I applied for a visitor visa for my children on August 7th, and biometrics were done on August 17th. I have not heard from IRCC since then. Please, I don't know if anyone can help me with their email.

Well done Ashirioluwa, thanks for your kind heart.

Please I have a question: Is it compulsory to attach the previous refusal letter when re-applying? Kindly know that she declared it on the application form.

AlhamduliLlah… Congratulations 🎉

fascodagama:
AlhamduliLlah for Everything and thanks to you guys.

Thanks specially to @Dr. Hammed Akande for your kindness and readiness to help.🙏🏽

Great things happen here and thanks to all members of this wonderful platform for the generous enlightenment and sharing. Knowledge is power indeed.
I did everything mostly based on hints gotten from this platform.

A lot has been learnt and the key is planning, patience and most importantly consistency.

Applied April 2023
Biometrics next day
Biometrics confirmation in November 2023
Passport requests for Approval same day in November.

Try “Flexi”

mcwally:
I tire for this appointment booking does it mean one can not get any free available date except you pay to secure appointment. All the one im seeing for dependant you have to pay to get appointment date. Is there any other means you can imagine paying 87k for premium appointment is too high

What network(MTN, Airtel, Glo, 9mobile) can I use to call the UK paid line please?

Will also appreciate if I can get the contact number to reach(paid call line), thank you.

I appreciate your response.

Now that the kids’ applications are still pending, what do we do?
Do you advise she sends them mail?

What’s next? She is trying to be strong at the moment with the situation.

advanceDNA:


The husband's refusal is not supposed to affect the children as their visa will be viewed independently with documents submitted ......however the ECO may likely nack you NSF to explain the care arrangement u have put in place for proper welfare of the kids

The husband should prove his union to the MA beyond doubt, i.e in line with ukvi policy and the expected documents......he will get the visa...(don't near Administrative review if u don't want oro max hypertension but if u don't have money for another application ..u can go for AR and argue ur case if u feel the ECO was not fair or should have given more room for provision of more evidence)

More wisdom, I appreciate.

Hello Gurus,

Kindly help, a friend of mine(the Main Applicant) applied for a skilled worker visa with her Children and her new Husband(who is not the father of the kids but now married to my Friend).

The visa of the main applicant has been issued, while that of the Children is still pending and the Partner’s visa has been refused, however, he has been given 28days to reapply or seek for AR. My Questions please:

1.) are they likely to grant the Children visas without their Mother’s Partner(step-father), knowing that their Mother who is the Main Applicant has been granted Visa?

2.) What is the probability that the Partner would be granted Visa after submitting more supporting documents and evidences that they are truly married)?

Congratulations 🎉

Ashirioluwa:



It worked for me in the past. I filled out my wife's visa application, but I didn't declare her past visa refusal for the US.

Later, I wrote them a letter of apology and explained to them that I forgot to declare this refusal.

About a month later, they acknowledged receiving the webform and the uploaded document.

Her visa was approved.
 

Congratulations 🎉
