Thanks for sharing dearie, and congratulations! Now If i May ask. Would anything from NGN80,000 to NGN50,000 be refer to as "large sum" if not explained?

Thanks dear.
100k and 200k was paid in by other persons while 100k and 60k was paid in by me

Honestly don't know from what range they refer to as 'Large deposits'.

What was the reasons given by the ECO that lead to last month refusal and what did you do to get ur visa from them? Let us learn from ur experience.

I'm a single lady, mid 20's, salary a little below 200k, no investments, no landed property, salary account closing balance a little above 800k as at time of application. Applied for visit/tourist visa on August 11 at Ikeja center and received package on August 25.
I was refused based on large deposits on my account that I didn't account for and not providing enough evidence for the ones I accounted for.
I have 4 large deposits on my account. 2 from me and 2 from other persons. I explained the 2 from other persons and ignored the 2 I paid in myself because I felt since my name reflected it wouldn't matter, but I was wrong. The annoying thing about the refusal was that my int passport was stamped at d back.
I reapplied on August 31 at Ikeja center explaining all large deposits and added evidence. I received a phonecall from them on Sept 9, phone interview lasted for 5 minutes. On Sept 10, I was going through photocopy of my cover letter and application form and noticed I made some mistakes, this made me consider withdrawing my visa application, as a matter of fact I was already filling d withdrawal form online and I suddenly changed my mind. I started attending winners chapel at my area every evening and never missed communion. I borrowed OGreene's prayer point about not being refused a 2nd time and I keyed that into my prayer every morning. I received my package sept 15. I was granted 6 months visit visa.

I stumbled on this forum while searching for some answers during my first visa application and was a silent reader all through because most of my enquiries have been treated over and over again but I had to register in order to ask a question when I was refused.

I would really like to commend all the gurus here who take out time out of their busy schedule to answer question here. I have learnt a lot and like frontpagelawyer, I would like give back to the public in my own little way.

@Justwise, Abeg chop kiss. The way you attend to people here with so much patience, wisdom and humility is enviable. May God continue to bless you.

I got my 6 months visa today after being refused last month.
Thanks to everyone in this forum who have contributed one way or the other. I took my time and read from the first page of this thread to avoid asking unnecessary questions and it really paid off. I can actually pass for a visa agent with the wealth of knowledge I gained here. *wink*

Special Thanks to Justwise for taking your time to answer questions here patiently. May God bless you immeasurably. I really learnt a lot.
Thanks to Iblaw for responding to my enquiry.
Would also like to acknowledge 3sha4lyf for the wonderful format for cover letter to the ECO.

Vicjustice, by the time I'll be putting in my application by early November my passport will have a validity of of just 3 months.

Renew your passport. Your old passport would be 'Cancelled without prejudice'. Then when applying for your visa, attach both old and new passports together with a rubber band and submit both.

Allihamdulilai! I got my visiting visa ... Thanks to justwise n all the contributors here (may God bless u guys more ) .. Ve been a ghost reader for a while here ! I just come to read comment n apply it ! Pls guys I ve dis question how do I go abt my bookings (actually looking for cheap flight ooo)

Congrats
I tap into this good news. It would end in praise for me too.

@tope777
Include your previous passport details and in the additional information, state that you added a name to your names then make reference to your sworn affidavit (very important)

@Kacchiz Pls do not make any large payments into your account even though it's from you. I was recently refused visa based on four large deposits into my account that wasn't accounted for and two of them were from me.

Thanks Justwise and Iblaw for your response.

Hello everyone,
I recently got a refusal on my UK visa application because of some lump sum of money. I want to re apply immediately and readdress it.
I want to ask if I still need another letter of introduction from my company. Thanks.

Cc Justwise, Iblaw, OGreene
