Good morning everyone
Please I need clarity for this. I intend to visit my biological sister in the UK. However the question asked if I have family in the UK options does not include siblings as seen. What should I fill in there considering it's my Sister I am going to visit? Thank you

Hello Fam,

@ Duchess and other gurus in the house.

I would like to confirm the best approach for 3 dependents (1 adult and 2 children) applying to join MA is to use just 1email address for their applications or use their individual emails?

If its 1 email address for all, must it be the MA or the MA's partner email?

Are there any advantages/disadvantages to any of this approach?

Kunleop:
Good morning guys

Pls I'm asking on behalf of friend, the couple came in as a student and dependent, the wife studying but unfortunately she was unable to complete her study and the husband got a sponsorship job which they have switched successfully as the wife is now a dependant, so they want apply for IHS refund but they afraid cos the wife didn't complete her study.

Pls can they apply for IHS refund for both of them or d husband should apply for himself alone.

NB; it's 2years course

@duchess90 and other gurus in the house Kindly assist

Hi guys
Please I need help. I was just catching up on the thread and realised I have made a mistake on my mum's visa application.

In the part where it asked how much she would be contributing, I inputted the amount I will be sponsoring her with and also same amount in the how much your sponsor will be helping out with.

Her biometric is on Friday and I am yet to upload all her documents.

Can I address this issue in her cover letter please?
I plan on uploading her documents this night.

Thank you.

Happy Sunday Guys, I have two questions for clarification.
1) How much is two years visa fees? https://visa-fees.homeoffice.gov.uk/y/nigeria/usd/visit/standard-visitor-visa---for-uk-isle-of-man-jersey-and-guernsey/all
2) pls can I use 4months statement of account for my visa process. Thanks

Gam22:


Thank you I’m praying and hoping for the best. The school took 3 months to issue my CAS, they were so slow and are the ones that put me in this mess. I’m seriously praying for a miracle

Gam22:
Good evening everyone,
please is there anyone waiting for visa that’s for September intake? I’m still waiting for mine and my latest enrollment date was moved to 23rd October.
My application is priority and no dependant.

Applied 23rd September
Bio 25th September
NSF mail 26th September no additional documents requested.

I have made 4 paid calls and only received 1 escalation email on the 11th October saying they checked my application and have seen that I was informed my application would take longer because it’s not straightforward. That prior to entry clearance mandatory checks need to be carried out and this can take time. I should be patient. It’s currently 15 working days now. ( I paid priority)

My worry is that my school have only granted me 1 more week to enrollment and advice that if I can’t make it I should withdraw my application. I am so worried. I have put in a lot of money, time on this.
I paid rent already in the UK which tenancy started October 1st
I have moved my flight twice paying over 400k each time.

Please guys if someone receives visa after enrollment deadline and the school says you have to differ and give new cas (which I am praying won’t be my case) do you have to pay for another visa application and IHS fee ? Has anyone had such experience?
Please share

Khenney002:
Please how do I tackle this, I am a still a student and I stated my sister will be the sponsor.

Hello Gurus in the house , Please, I still need your advice on this.

SoledLotto:
Hello!

I sincerely need other people's insight regarding this UK Visa.

Firstly, I've been to Morocco, South Africa, Lebanon, Qatar, and Ghana.

Secondly, I've been denied USA and Spain (Schengen) Visa.

Thirdly, I've been a freelancer since 2019 working with different clients on long and short projects. My earnings were not accounted for. They were earned in USD, however, I use different means and sources to exchange for Naira.

Since July, I registered as a Company with CAC and I've been paying myself 2.5M naira consecutively. Looking at my bank statement, I've been spending around 800k monthly.

I intend to apply for a UK standard visa soon, waiting for 6 Months so I can have proof of employment for the past 6 months (I don't know if this is a must). I can get recommendations from some of my clients to serve as supporting documents. I also have a landed document in my name.

The only credits in my bank account have been my salary, and I spend from the account for my day-to-day spending.

This is my situation. I just want to hear from other people's perspectives if there's anything I really need to know or worry about.

Thank you.

Hello everyone,

I could really use some help regarding my situation. I have my biometric appointment scheduled for tomorrow, and I'm feeling a bit lost. Last week, I applied for a standard UK visitor visa and unfortunately received a refusal (I'll share the refusal letter below). I wasn't surprised by the refusal as I rushed through the application and provided some bank statements with irregular and unknown inflows (I use P2P to convert my USDT to Naira alot). Additionally, there were some documents I didn't include, unsure if they would be accepted. But now, I don't think I have much of a choice but to address these issues.

I work as a software developer, and my company pays me through Deel. The problem is, I don't always transfer all my money into a bank account that could demonstrate my stated salary. Most of the time, I withdraw using Binance and P2P, and occasionally transfer funds to my Dom account.

The main issue is that I don't have a bank account statement showing my monthly income at the stated amount. The only proof I have right now is my transaction statement from Deel.

My question is, can I use the Deel account statement to support my application, even though it's not from a traditional bank? I've also provided an employment letter from my employer and payslips (invoices), but the Entry Clearance Officer is emphasizing the need for deposit evidence.


The second reason was due to the bank statement i provided which i didn't put an explanation (it will be hard to provide one since most of the inflow are through p2p). anyone have advice on this too.

Thanks

Hello house,
I got this refusal note from Ukvi, does it the reason for my refusal was because of my untranslated company registration letter, can I re-apply immediately,or can you explain this better

Kunleop:
Good afternoon

I want to ask, my friend is making application for his mother but there was a mistake he made when he's doing his own application, like, when they asked about his mother name and date of birth, he made mistake with name and date of birth of his mother.
The date of birth is 1970 but he filled 1965 while the name is *TAIWO AGEEbut he filled BASIRAT AGEE
Although the mother bear the same name but on birth certificate is TAIWO AGEE.

is it going to have any implications ob her Visit visa.
@cashmadam@giselle and other gurus pls help.
He was on cross road now

Estarera:

Thank you Cashmadam.
Yes I work but I have a lot of expenses and I’m currently funding my masters plus I just paid my school fees this month that’s why I’m not using my account- although I’m submitting my statements too. My uncle actually suggested we all apply for visa and travel and he’s funding our trips that’s why I’m using him. As to why he’s funding our trips- he has money and he likes showing off 😂
If I had planned it since, I’d have asked him to move the money for the trip to my account so it’ll be there for 6 months and I can use my own account but it’s already too late.
So can I put an amount in the part of how much I’m planning to spend personally?

JulianaAdeyemi:
Good morning house, how is everyone doing?
Please I’m applying for uk visa and I want to submit today but I have just two questions pending.
1. I have a sponsor and I’ve gotten all the necessary documents. There’s a place that asks ‘ how much money are you personally planning to spend?’ Do I put nil cos my sponsor is paying for everything or do I put something there? Maybe 500k? hmmm sponsor is dicey. You are an adult and I assume you work. Your personal and financial circumstances will be scrutinized.
2. There’s a place that asks for sponsor details and ‘why they are paying for the trip’ - I put my relationship with the sponsor (he’s my uncle) but can anyone please help me with a legit reason. I don’t know what to put there. He actually encouraged me to apply for a visa and take time off work to travel so when I told him I will apply he volunteered to sponsor the trip. Can I put that reason? You can but it might not be convincing enough. Why would your Uncle set aside his expenses to spend so much money on your trip?
Thank you.

makforex:
Morning good pple here on nairaland.
Pls I need an urgent response to this.
I want to apply for UK visitor visa and I want to know if I can get an appointment date now because I want to travel to Italy early next month I don't want a situation where I won't get back my passport before my departure date.
Pls someone should put more light on this for me. Thanks.

elvi02:
Pls house I need guidance, I made a mistake in the postal code and my destination ( where I was supposed to put 11 and united kingdom I wrote 12 and united state) my biometric is next week ; I don't know if I can change it before that day
P.s I will be uploading my documents when I get there.

SammyAi80:
Good evening guys.
This thread is really informative, thank you all for all the information you provide daily.
Please I have a question, I’m applying for a uk visa…there’s a part that is for ‘other sources of income’. I don’t have any other source of income, just my salary. Can I just put No instead of putting yes and having to lie about another source of income that I don’t have? Thank you.

OTSAMUEL:
Please am new here I want to know how can I get school in UK without ielt.

Estarera:
Good evening guys. How’s everyone doing?
Please I have some questions about the visa application process and I’d love answers, please 🙏🏽
I know some of these questions would have been answered on this thread, believe me I’ve checked as far back as when but it’s a lot, sorry 😞
1. My office recently introduced a welfare package which they pay on the same day our salaries drop, should I add it to my monthly salary in the application? Yes Also, do I convert my salary to Gbp in the application or just leave it? It's not cast in stone. I usually convert all figures in Naira to Pounds
2. It’s just 7 days I plan on spending, how much do you think i should put as proposed trip expense - flight inclusive. Between 1,500 and 2,500 as tickets are very expensive now
3. There’s a place for other sources of income but seeing as I just have salary, can I leave the place blank? Depends on you. I usually put interest acrued on savings
4. In my personal statement, can I put my sister’s contact or mine is ok? I put my sister cos I stay with her and I already have my own contact on the application anyway. Yours.
5. Main purpose of visit- I put visiting friends and visit some places - I listed out the places. Is that ok? Tourism
6. Once I’m done with the application can I just go ahead and pay? After payment please what are the next steps? Also, I stay in Abuja so I selected abuja for my biometrics, is that ok or do I put Lagos? Pay and get date for biometrics. Then upload your documents. Go for your biometrics and wait for your visa to be approved. Don't buy a ticket till you get your visa. Abuja is fine.

Thank you 🙏🏽

Bhaelarkush:
Good evening.

I want to ask if the digital copy of the bank statement downloaded from my bank mobile app is sufficient for my visit visa application. This downloaded statement has a stamp on every page.

Or do I need to walk into the bank to get it printed out, signed, stamped?

Castalia:
Hello Cashmadam and others. Thanks for the encouragement.
I have been talking to the school, they havent budged yet, but we are still pleading and putting pressure.

Please can anyone advice on how one can pick up a passport from TLS (even though I paid for Courier) I feel courier will take a few days, so I want to go to go and pick up from TLS myself and save some time.

anyone with a telephone number?

Castalia:
Approval Letter came in this morning. Visa Approved
However, Paspport has not yet moved to VAC on the TLS website. So not sure when one can realistically get the passport.
And the enrollment deadline is still tomorrow, 9th October.

What do you advice?

1stdami:
Has anyone travelled from nigeria to London recently. Is 3 hours before departure enough time to arrive at the lagos airport?

Mamadf:

I didn't see it there either, thanks

Mamadf:


Thankssss
Is not scam, the course I apply for,all the school I inquired from are saying the same deposit
Also what about the other details,are they in order?

Debbiebest:



When do you think it's best to cancel,today or by the end of tomorrow?Just asking

I still believe what God can not do does not exist!! AMEN!

Castalia:
Hello `@dduchess90 and others.

Please I need a little advice on what to do.

school has given till 9th October (next Monday) as final date for enrolment. The clearly stated that there will be no extension.

I have called, I have escalated by mail etc. Nothing positive yet.

Please what do I do?

Do i cancel and withdraw the application?

If I dont cancel, (and visa comes out but I am unable to travel) will I still be able to get a refund of IHS and Application fee? (because as it is, it is very very unlikely that I will make it).

Please advice
