[quote author=Ayobamichemical post=130700435][/quote]Hello guys, the section in the UK visit visa application, "About the Cost of Visit," instructs to estimate the total amount, including flights, accommodation, and daily expenses. This is confusing because it seems like the section is specific to the applicant, but for someone being fully sponsored, I am thinking, should I list a smaller amount here based on personal income, or should the total amount provided here match the amount stated in the following section about the amount the sponsor will support with (1400GBP) since this section requires that we include the costs for flights and other general expenses that the we personally plan during the visit.

[quote author=Ayobamichemical post=130495275]Thank you #Cashmadam. I appreciate your comment.
He will upload a support letter from his supervisor at work for the weeks of leave approval that indicates his return date of duties in response to your inquiry about proofing his return. In addition, he will upload his NYSC PPA letter, which shows a probable discharge date of October 31st. He plans his visit from September 19th to October 2nd (~approximately 2 weeks). He will not be requesting funds into his account as POF again, as advised by you to avoid account padding, but he stated his yearly additional income from family to be N420k and will be uploading only his brother's, who is fully sponsoring his trip, financial details (payslips, UK employment letter, BRP document). Kindly give your advice and any suggestions about the application now.

I want to confirm a section of his application asking how much he personally plans to spend on his visit. He will be fully sponsored by his brother, and he plans to put 1400GBP, as shown in the screenshot. However, there is another section that asks if someone is paying for the visit, which is yes, and the amount he's putting in is 1400 GBP. So my question is, should he be putting 1400 GBP in how much he personally plans to spend, or the 1400 GBP should only appear on the section of the application asking if someone is paying for his visit?

Thank you so much for this. I don't have concrete evidence really and it's basically word of mouth and 1 post I saw on Naira land here posted in 2012/13 or so. But I left it out anyway. And just attached letter of leave and introduction from my PPA

By introduction from PPA, What is that? Can we also connect?

Rimini:
Hello, please I'm hearing some things about how NYSC members are not allowed to travel to the UK during their service year. Please do you know anyone who is a Corp member who this UK visitor's visa has worked for?

You made a very good point, but I have not heard of such. What's with the UK with NYSC? Isn't NYSC a form of employment like other employed people who get their visiting visa approved in active civil service after showing accurate proof of sabbatical breaks or need to visit on holidays? Do they really want to troubleshoot how that works in the country? What, I presume, should be important is showing ties to return to the country, and NYSC PPA letters show that. Whatever leave time or absence arrangement from NYSC is between the corp member and LGI or where the corp member works. People even get approved student visas during NYSC and abandon the whole program. Plus, these corp members have flexibility with work schedules, and most only report occasionally while doing biometrics monthly. Unfortunately, I do not know of any NYSC member either denied on the service year basis or approved, so if you have any concrete information regarding this, kindly share it. Thanks.

- he needs to focus on his personal and economic circumstances. What will make him come back to Nigeria? If he can answer that question, he will most likely get the visa. Sponsorship is not the problem. His ties to Nigeria is the most important thing he needs to convince the Visa officer about

Thank you #Cashmadam. I appreciate your comment.

Hello, I am currently reviewing someone's UK visiting application to visit his brother in the UK. There are sections on the application that need clarification. He is currently an NYSC member, earning 33k, so his two-week trip would be sponsored by his brother. The income and expenditure section got him confused, and I would like an assessment of his answers for this section and whether they are fine to have such an answer (his keeping it truthful). The section has the following questions after declaring his Job title, how much he earns each month after tax (i.e 33k), and a description of his job ( office administrator)

1. Do you have another income or any savings?
Ans: Other regular additional income
2. What kind of regular additional income do you have?
Ans: Allowance or regular money from your family (This person has almost all his siblings abroad and gets funds around to balance his low 33k NYSC salary)
3. Total amount of regular additional income that you get in a year
Ans: 1800 GBP ( he's putting this figure as the approximate he receives and would request the equivalent of this fund to be sent to his naira account (POF) for this trip and show his bank statement as evidence of funds available to him at the time of his trip)
4. How much money are you personally planning to spend on your visit to the UK, which includes flight fees, feeding and accommodation?
Ans: 1400 GBP
5. what is the total amount of money you spend each month?
Ans: N40,000 ( He declared already that he stays with his parent in a rent-free apartment living in his parent-built apartment where he walks to work close to him, so he spends even less)
6. Will anyone be paying toward the cost of your visit?
Ans: Yes, and that's his brother, whom he will stay with for the two weeks and who will show evidence of the 1400 GBP he plans to spend on the trip.
Now, why I needed opinions on these answers was because a lot going on about showing that one has huge savings or earning capacity. Also, whether these amounts suggested are appropriate to be granted visiting travel. Thanks

You need to chill… I initiated since 17th and my start date is 6th August and I’m yet to get a reply.

Hello, please I want you to explain how to go about filling new DS form for Abuja. My current DS-160 confirmation print has Lagos, but appointment date is January 4,2024. But I found an early date for Abuja.

Is there any implication?
I'm yet to book an appointment for Lagos though?
Would I be paying new visa fee?
Thanks for your reply.

EmmyteeTosin:
Are you saying a Lagos DS160 can't be used at Abuja Embassy??
