Please A friend helped me to apply for six month visitor visa and I got the visa but it expired now.
They issues I have now is that, I want to apply for two Years and He is not around but I have all the information for my first application, can I do it myself with a new profile or it has to continue from the first profile. Please help

Please Justwise, Vicjustice and other person, do justice to this question Please.

If you still have a copy of your previous form with you, go online and fill as same, all tht I believe must change is your date of arrival and address to where ur gonna be staying, If you have any other difficulties, come back here to ask for help. It's always good to do things all by your self.

I have the proof of where the other money came from, I've printed my company statement of account for the months in the past where I transferred huge sums into my personal account And any other huge sum, all the evidence and everything is ready, my only issue is this 3million I just transferred,I don't know what they take into consideration before calling it money lodgement... Is it the time between when I transferred the money and when I apply or is it the history of the statement of account? I also have the company statement of account that shows that the money came from my company account into my personal and this money is my company complimentary vacation money to me or travel allowance, whichever is best to describe it.

If u must submit your company's account, I think you would need a tax certificate and a solid source of those millions millions, invoices, receipts,contract approval etc, after that, Your personal statement of account with tax certificate would be needed as well, you will also explain why u transferred 3million naira into ur account just few weeks to when you wanna apply for visa... sorry for asking you this question, Are you going for graduation, naming, Marriage or conference that must must travel now Is 6months too far for you? Well, give it a try and lets see how it goes. Experience is the best teacher.

Sarki140:

I have started with the application and paid the visa fees.Please you gotta help me,thanks

Well, I don't really know what I can do to help you cos I don't know how often u run ur account, what business you hve been doing that you would save all your allowee without touching it, You must have a business by the side that takes care of your feeding and minor expenses that I don know of.

soulhighman:
Justwise, please I want to know whether there is usually interview for UK student visa after submission of documents or just submission required and no need for interview. Thanks.

Are u scared of being interviewed?

TatPat:


Okay thanks, I'll do just that.

No rush my bro, it has worked for so many people on here, I prefer salary accounts for uk visas, just make sure it's not cash deposit, it must be a transfer from ur Company's account. You can give a standing order to your banker that a certain amount must be transferred from ur company account to ur personal account every month inform of Salary. It's easier.

Sarki140:


I receive allowances from my parents.Most of the money deposited in the account is below 100 USD and I have been saving purposely for the trip for the past 8 months.I also sometimes receive money from family members .Hope to hear from you.Thanks

Try south Africa first, when you go nd come back then apply for UK... ur not rip for UK yet or u look for sponsor.

TatPat:


First of all, I don't pay myself a monthly salary, I pay myself annually but not into this acct.. I also pay myself an allowance like every 2months on the account I'll be using to apply for the visa,
There was funds in the account but this account is what we use for the house upkeep and anything spending so if I put 100k there today, it can finish in two days, it's a very very active account, transactions every day, I had about 10k balance before I transferred the 3mollion and in the past I've also sent 5million from my company acct to this same acct.

The application May not fly, if you would listen, start running your account for the next 6months, transfer your Salary into the same account for the next 6months, You can start this month so that you would have 5 months left but make sure it's directly transferred from ur company's account to the preferred account inform of July 2016 Salary, work towards having 800k- 1M in the 6th month so once ur set come back here for the next step. Make sure you read the forum everyday for the next 6 months, it wil help ur future application

TatPat:
Good morning, My question goes to justwise,vicjustice,worry359,Askari01 and ALL the gurus in the house... I just transferred 3million naira from my company acct to my savings acct for the trip I'm planning to the uk with my wife, I'm about to book for an appointment tomorrow, please how do I explain to the Eco that this isn't money lodgement and what evidence can I show? Thanks for your responses.

Was there no fund in ur account prior when u transferred the 3million into ur account? Did u transfer to your salary account? What ws ur account balance before the transfer?

ZOE07:
Kindly help provide answer to this. I have asked earlier. What do you present as travel document since you are advised not to pay for travel? Also, can you reschedule submitting your application to a later date after booking an appointment with the visa centre. Thanks a bunch.

Your Flight booking is ur travel document.

Have you made payment already?

Sarki140:


Through personal Savings for the past 8 months.Most savings are money i receive weekly.I rarely withdraw money from the account and no huge deposits.Most savings are below 100 USD. Am 23 years Old and my parents can not sponsor me at the moment.Thanks

I know u saved the funds, you claimed ur prent cnnot sponsor you, you have no job, you are single I want to believe, no business, no child and no travel experience to show you have travelled as a tourist before, your chances are very slim, I'd advice you drop the application until your status hs changed. Did u mention you receive those funds weekly? From who? Where from? Us knowing the source of funds would help you.

kossyprincess:
yes that what d gave me to pay ohh. infact I was even surprise too. [b]is my luck now Lol [/b]Anyway d check shops according to the size and what you have in it.

That must be a local government tax revenue, you better run to the internal revenue tax office, FIRS to get a proper Tax certificate that will comensurate with your financial income , Wetin concern government with the size of ur shop and what you have in it. Don't mess things up for urself madam.

Oga Justwise, FrontPageLawyer and all the wonderful people in the house.
I got my package today with my 2-year visa. This is our year of wonder double agenda testimonies. It shall be good news for others waiting for their packages.

However, some documents are missing from the package returned to me (My cousin's British Passport Data page, His Tenancy Agreement, Invitation Letter and the Application form itself). Is it normal?


Thank you all and God bless

Congratz... told you to relax ur nerves. Enjoy your holiday.

kossyprincess:
OK I hear you will correct all that.I do pay 5k for my tax that's d bill d gave me cos my shop is not like mall lol.apart from boutique I do sell other goods too so I did not include that in my application only the boutique I mentioned.

Are you kidding? 5K in 12 months? Lol. If I work and earn 150k monthly and the sum of 7k is being deducted from my account monthly, how come you as a business owner would now pay 5K as Tax for one good year? That means ur paying just 420 naira per month and you have above 1million in ur account... ur tax does not commensurate with your claimed income. The more business you claim to be doing, the more tax we expect from you. Take ur statement of account to the revenue office for evaluation, they will tell you how much ur gonna have to pay as Tax.

kossyprincess:
Ok I'm staying for 14days I have Gtb Acct so I have token too and Ecobank Acct.I have my CAC Registration,TIN ID card,Tax etc.the closing bal of my GT Acct for 6months is 1.2m,while my Ecobank 1m No lodgement of money at all because is my personal Acct where customers do pay money for their goods.This is how I filled the financial part:
COST OF FLIGHT - 600 GBP
COST OF LIVING EXPENSES-100 GBP
COST OF HOTEL ACCOMODATION- 570 GBP
COST TO U PERSONALLY FOR THIS TRIP-2200GBP
TOTAL AMOUNT U HAVE FOR THIS TRIP- 2200GBP
HOW I DO EARN MONTHLY AFTER TAX- 145K
HOW MUCH I DO GIVE TO MY FAMILY EVERY MONTH -20GBP

Your budget looks somehow, let me guide u.

Flight- 600

Living expenses- 200

Hotel- reduce to 8days, 14 is too much, getting the visa at once is ur major goal.

Add Flight+living expenses+hotel= Cost to you personally

flight+living cost+hotel+£100misc= Total amount you have for the trip...

Every other thing is ok... how much is ur account balance? How much did u pay as Tax? You salary is also good but I can see that you wnat to show the ECO u have so much money to throw around, they know Niger is tough at this period so why taking a sachet of paracetamol just Becos u have headache. £2200 is much when half of that can get you 6month visa.

Good morning everyone,

I'm new on here and I would need to be advised on this, I work in a company of 7 workers, 2months ago my salary was paid in cash into my bank account by the company and last month salary was transferred from the company's account.

I want to apply for UK visit visa in December 2016, how can I convince the VO about the salary deposited in cash?

Looking forward to reading your replies

Thanks

Please advised me

I want to advise you from experience but First of all, How much is ur Salary? You want to apply in December, that means you would print ur statement account from June- Nov and u'd submit in December but to escape the wahala that may arise if the ECO get to notice ur salary being paid in cash, continue running ur account and print your statement from JULY 01 - First week December. So your statement wouldn't have to show cash payment of salary in June. They might not even notice the cash payment. If you have a genuine reason why your salary was paid in Cash then drop my talktalk.

kossyprincess:
Hi I'm a full reader of this forum, I must say you guys are trying very well. the way u answer all question left and right lol. I'm impressed, my questions goes like this I want to apply for UK Tourist visa for 6months.and I have finished filling my form what remains for me is the hotel email address and also where the ask TYPE OF WORK UNDERTAKEN? Im self employed also I have a boutique,but I filled in Boutique -Women clothing in that question line. just asking if is the right answer to it. also I have booked my hotel using booking.com website and I also input my fiance debit card details and the email him that the booking was successful I choose paying on arrival, the date I choose to be in UK is 11sept. hope the won't cancel my booking becos I have not use them before in anything booking.thanks waiting for reply from this lovely forum lol

How many days are you gonna be staying in the UK? You said for 6months please clarify that. Moreover, don't be too sure that you have filled the forms correctly, Let's see how u filled the financial part, like cost of trip to you personally etc, Moreso, Whts the closing balance on ur statement of account? Hope no lodgement ? If u have an ATM, and you claim you are ready to go on a trip to the UK, why not use ur ATM to make hotel booking so as to avert any problem that may affect ur application? Go to ur bank tell them at the customer service that you wanna use ur ATM for online transaction, you shall be given a form to fill and get a pin to use for online transactions, Simple as abc. After making the hotel booking, call the hotel to confirm reservation o!. Asper the undertaken issue, if you don't know what to write, ask google,just type "duties of a boutique owner/manager/ etc, just extract all u need from there, aiye o le man!. Finally, u need a CAC reg, tax clearance, receipts, invoices from suppliers or where u buy from, etc. Ask more question so you won't mess things up.

Koro left Nigeria to become a US citizen after sucking our beloved country dry... I am sure he awaits PDP to take back it's position as the ruling party so that he can fly back to Nigeria majestically to enjoy the stolen wealth. Don't worry, He'd spend some of the doe during 2019 election... May God help Nigeria. (Amen)

Question1:

Dear @Justwise,

I need urgent advise.
I applied for a 2 -year UK visa. Date of submitting my application was 16th May, 2016. I collected my passport yesterday and my application was refused.

The reason for refusal is as follows:

The decision
I have refused your application for a visit visa because @I am not satisfied that you meet the requirement of V4.2(a)-(e) of AppendixV: Immigration rules for visitors and I have also considered your application under paragraph V.3.6 of Appendix V: Immigration rules

. You have provided a hotel reservation for XXXX from Bleep to Bleep. Our office contacted the hotel on 9 June 2016 and was informed that the reservation was cancelled on 28th April 2016. This was before you submitted your online on 16/05/2016. I note you have declared on your application form that you will stay at the XXXX. Given that you cancelled this booking before you submitted your visa application online. I am satisfied that you applied deception when making your application. I am therefore not satisfied that you have accommodation arranged for your visit to the UK. This in turn leads me to doubt your intentions to travel on this occasion.

. Given the above I am not satisfied that you are a genuine visitor and will leave the UK at the end of your visit or that you have sufficient funds available to cover your costs whilst in the UK without working or accessing public funds.

.Your application for a visit visa has therefore been refused under paragraphs V4.2(a) and (e) and V.3.6 of the Immigration rules

He concluded to future application thesis with that there is no right of appeal or right to administrative review.

Here is outcome of my investigation:
1. I was never aware that my reservation was cancelled on 28th April 2016 until yesterday when I collected my passport. The UK EO is the first person to inform my me that the reservation I made on 20th April, 2016 (which was approved with reservation number) was cancelled on 28th April 2016.
2. I called the hotel yesterday to enquire the reason for this cancellation, and their Guest relations rep informed me it was cancelled because the credit card detail I registered online did not go through and was subsequently cancelled.
3. I asked why he did not contact me when the credit card details did not pull through to enable me make alternative arrangement or notify of the cancellation. He said they did not have my contact details (which is strange given that they sent a confirmation of my reservation to my email).
4. I subsequently requested that hotel write me an email stating the reason why my reservation was cancelled, which he promised to do. I have also written to the hotel as follows:
"I have been informed that my reservation was cancelled on 28th April, 2016. I would like to confirm the reason for the cancellation on this date as this was not done by me and why I was not notified of this cancellation on this date and on time to allow me make alternative arrangement as this action has had a detrimental effect to me with regards to the Petroleum Engineering conference I was scheduled to attend in August."

See the hotels cancellation and rate description policy below:


Cancellation Policy: Must purchase at least 3 days in advance.A deposit for the entire stay is due at time of booking.Canceling your reservation or failing to arrive will result in forfeiture of your deposit. Taxes may apply.

Rate Description: Great value on this fully prepaid rate. Advance purchase is required. A full prepaid non-refundable deposit is required at time of booking. Your credit card will be charged between the time of booking and day of arrival. Deposit is non-refundable if reservation is cancelled. Reservation non-Transferable

Here are my prayers:
1. Given the EO decision was arrived at with information never available to me at the material time, I wish to appeal the decision. Do you advise I go ahead?
2. If answer to 1. is affirmative can you advise me on how I can go about this.

My Immigration History:
1. I have never broken the terms of my stay before and never been refuse a visa or permit before now
2. I was granted a 1 year UK student visa in 2006
3. A 2 year UK post study work permit in 2009
4. A 2 year US visa in 2008 (with 2 visits in 2009 and 2010)
5. A 2 year US visa in 2015 (was in the US for 2 weeks in November last year for a similar type conference)

I need an urgent reply to enable make a decision on the next step forward as my conference is in middle of August, 2016

Sorry to hear ur experience, it happened to a friend of mine some years back but got the visa back. When is the conference coming up?
Did you confirm at your bank if you could use ur debit card for online transaction? If Yes, Find a way to book another hotel reservation, once you book it, give like 24hours to confirm if cancelled, after that, make an affidavit stating you didn't cancel the booking and tht you used the debit card linked with your bank account.

After that make sure all ur docs are in good shape, write another letter explaining you regret all that happened and that it wasn't intentional. contact ur bank so as to authorise the transaction with that same hotel and call them to confirm if they were able to charge ur card , keep checking ur online booking from the day of submission till you receive ur application so as to be sure it has not cancelled again, but I am 100% sure if you contact ur bank to authorise the transaction it will go through.

However, you need to confirm if ur still entitled to 2yrs renewal, I think my friend was told to apply for 6month since his 2yrs visa was refused, please confirm from my ogas first. Wish u luck.

Benuromi:
Please, can someone help me here. My sister-in-law told me they refused her boyfriend uk visitors visa and no reason was given which I find very strange. He used some agent in Nigeria. I don't know how they did it. My reason is the refuser letter which he was supposed to have got. Plz, is there any email to contact uk lagos embassy to know why he was refused? Because without refused letter, u won't know why it was refused and what to sort out to reapply again.
Thanks for your help.

Agents and their wayo. The agent of destruction must have gotten ur sister inlaws boyfriend in a serious trouble, pressurise the Agent and get the refusal letter but be very smart Becos He might pick one of the refusal note he has in his office, edit it and present it to u. Who knows whether ur sis inlws BF has been banned. Somethin fishy....

abeylevels:
Hello Nairaland family,

Please I will like to know if in the visa form, someone can put a mobile number as the contact details of employer who will be sponsoring a business trip.
This is because if the land line is used, the company representative may not be in the office to receive the call when the ECO makes calls to the company.
Is there anyone there in a similar situation who used mobile contact & was successful?

Mobile number is acceptable but just mke sure it's a genuine number cos they can easily confirm

abbey1986:



OK but I can still explain by making a new application and I forgot my marriage certificate at home and it wasn't there so. What's your advice

Now u can see tht the visa officer was right in his or her decisions, before you can reapply, you must address all the issues raised against you by the ECO. Let me ask you the ffg questions
1. How much was ur closing balance when you applied?

2. Did u claim that ur mother would pay for all expenses including flight?

3 Where did u submit ur application, VI or ikeja?

3. How Old are you that you still receive monthly pay from your father?

4. can u get all documents to prove the sources of these funds?

abbey1986:

Attached is the original refusal letter

You complicated your application by saying you receive funds from family when you have no evidence to show the source. Did your submit you marriage Certificate

sparklerii:

cc.justwise,Frontpage lawyer, askari01

How much is ur hubby's salary?
How much is in his account?
How many days are u gonna be stayin in the UK?

Is it possible for you to reduce ur cost to like between 1100- 1200?

Look for cheaper flights and cheaper hotels

Justinfowise:
@ askari01 thanks 'my source of fund is from my business and it goes directly to my savings account ' I am regretting it now ' I could have done it long time ago . Yes I normally use my invoice to calculate my tax .if I open the company account can I still use it after one week ?

OK... but that's not too good. How do u want to explain to the ECO what you make as profit and capital, when you would not be there to defend yourself? You should have a separate account for your business.
