Helo sweet mamas and papies, am here to show my appreciation, with my full loads of questions and worries, you answered in love. Now in the US with my mum and baby, no problem at all at the poe in houston, infact the officer didnt know i was pregnant, he asked why we are in houston, i told him vacation and, before i could finish, he just said ohh, dts nice on vacation, i quickly chipped in, "and for childbirth too" he was like, are you pregnant, yes i am, he stood up abit to look at my tummy, he then asked how far gone i am, i told him 34weeks, he said waoo and you dont look it, well, but to me, i feel am.carrying the biggest tummy in the world. He stamped my baby, stamped my mum's and stamped mine too amd welcome us to usa. Proceeded to baggage claim and then to inspectiom, i guess its the monetary inspectiom side, was asked to fill a form, asked why i had so much money, i told her because am coming for delivery and i am paying cash, she asked for the receipt of my last delivery, i gave her everything, she checked and said what kind of work do you do, to have all these cash, before i could reply, she tapped on her system amd said ohh, ok, come along with me to where your foodstuff will go through inspection, she later helped me with the trolley, saying "you look tired and you look like you wanna drop that baby here now, let me help you? She helped me pushed the trolley while my mum back my baby, i just drag along cos am so tired and wornout, it was late. At the food inspection, my knorr chicken was collected, even though it doesnt have wrap, they knew it, they collected my tubers of yam, whole 3, chaii, i kept saying, my yam, my yam, they just bursted into laughter and said its not allowed. Well, i got to the hotel and found out that i still have a small yam left in my bag, it looks like diamond to me. So that was how my poe experience went .

@geojay...please how did you finally get accommodation in houston... dw will be coming to houston in December and prices on airbnb for accomodation not smiling at all!

Anyone planning for houston Tx trip in December? kindly PM me for possible collabo

This platform is a life saver,I must confess!
Kudos to the Pros n gurus here!
I am one of those in ghost mode and I have read through the threads to a large extent.

I also got the b1/b2 visa early in the year with wify and daughter with intention of wify to give birth in US but the vacation was what we told the VO. It is wrong! And I have learnt a lot here.

Wify is now one month pregnant and based on advice here, she and my daughter will be going to NY with Arik for 10 days vac.probably next month.

Then when she comes back we can send letter of intent later and other processes.
My concern:
1. Texas was where we told the Vo during interview for vacation, hence is there anything wrong changing it to Ny?
2. At the POE we have agreed that if questions like are you pregnant? Answer: yes, but purpose for this trip is for vacation. is the answer proper?

I will appreciate suggestions and will like to know if there is anyone in this similar situation with the intention of going to US and coming back, then plan for 2nd trip to give birth.

I am a leaner and I am willing to learn the soft way and not the hard way! Thanks

Tanx all

Hello house,
Good to see this trend. I am 31 years old with 7 years working experience in Nigeria. banking industry (Bsc, MBA). I have been avoiding accounting(acca) for years but with the way it is in this country, it seems to be one of the unavoidable skills (ACCA). i wish to switch career path and i am looking at going for ACCA. Hope it is not too late and what do i need to succeedPlease i need advice!

House,
Justwise, iblaw , justice, ogreene and other Majors..
I want to reapply for my wife and daughter after being refused visa.
*Is it neccessary or important to include the refusal letter in their applications? *

Justwise, justice iblaw ogreene guru in the house please, to apply for visiting visa for a baby 11 months old. One of the parents in accompanying the child. What are ALL the documents to show that the child would be catered for on her visit to UK?

Cos it is becoming rampant that parents are given visa while their children are refused.

@ ogreene @iblaw , justwise @vicjustice
The truth is that while most of the inflows are genuine, prior to my wife's application there was a 500k deposit into our joint account with detail : Mr X refund 4/04/2015. We actually made a withdrawal on the 4/04/2015. And to boost d balance in our joint, we made a deposit of 500k with the detail of deposit above. Making the deposit to show like a refund.
Now that she was refused base on not providing source of fund, we intend to reapply explain the sources of other inflows. And for the 500 we intend to explain that it was withdrawn in April to buy property but due to the price review by the seller to 550k, the 500k was refunded. Letter from a property seller on price review will be attached.
The only concern I have is that the refund cash deposit 500k occurred in july 8th and on that same day, the outflow of 550k occurred. The statement submitted only showed the 500k refund.
I know we goofed for cooking the 500k deposit but what do you guyz advice?

Please I need response

OGreene:
It shud contain everything you feel you need to explain, starting wt addressing d last refusal and providing more info supporting ds new application, be very convincing and polite. Don't try to be defensive, mention the strong points you have to back up ds application. Write it like a formal letter. I typed mine sha
I also mentioned my itinerary, how d expenses will go, that I hv booked a hotel in London, and hv gotten my leave from work approved, wch can be seen in d doc I submitted. Anything you say, if u hv a doc for it, put in bracket beside it that dey can refer to so so so document u hv attached. I ended by saying I hv no intention of staying back der or working der, dat am available for an interview either to provide more docs or for more enquiries if they so desire.
This is wot I did, others own might be diff.

justwise:
You should have explained that large deposit because its always an issue especially when you do it closer to your application.
Not adding documents to support your daughter's application is a mistake, i don't know what the Tls officers was thinking

@ justwise @ ogreene, iblaw... Please what should the content of the cover letter look like?

Tanx Ogreene and iblaw.

@ o greener the 1.2m is in our joint account. We do not have serious fund in our salary accounts.

House, justwise, and great experienced personnels in the building, I hail o.

My wife and daughter were refused uk visiting visa today o.
My wife was refused based on:
I quote " I note that the balance of this account has been significantly inflated by large deposits amounting to 800k prior to your application. You have not provided any evidence as to the origin of these recent deposits.
I am therefore not satisfied that these funds are genuinely available for your use or that your financial circumstances are as stated.

For my daughter:
You have not supplied any documents to confirm your relationship to your claimed parent. From the documents submitted I am not satisfied that you are related as claimed.

For my wife's refusal, we submitted our savings joint account in which our savings goes to. her salary account were submitted withpayslips, letter from her office, my pay slips, proof of investment etc.
The issue is that some lumps sum which entered the joint account were
1.from my salary account which was my upfront allowance,
2.also bonus/allowance from my wife salary account,

3and also a 650k was withdrawn in May from the joint account but was refunded in july 2015.we were having 1.2m when the application was made.

I will like to know what evidence they want even when we both provided our salary accounts where the lumps were from.?
And how else can I explain the 650k that withdrawn in may and lodged back in july. ( as we wanted to use the 650k to purchase a property but the deal didn't go tru, hence the refund.)

For my daughter, the Tls officers told my wife that to avoid duplication of documents, that she does not need to submit separate document for our daughter as the they will refer to my wife's application when reviewing my daughter's own. Alas, they did not refer to it o.

I presently have 2 years uk visiting visa and I want them to reapply as we want to go on vacation by September.
Please I need advice on how to tackle the reasons for their refusals.

@ k great ..I am also planning to write it but in Nigeria.how can we hook to prepare together?

My wife and daughter just submitted there applications today at V.I. For 6 months uk visa. No interview.

GREAT PEOPLE PLEASE I NEED ANSWERS TO MY QUESTIONS ON PAGE 350. PLEASE!

Great nairalanders,o greener, justwise, vic n co. I hail o!
Please I have a uk visiting visa for 2 years . It will expire by Feb 2016. My wife and my eight months old baby are now applying for 6 months visiting visa as we all intend to go to uk on vacation in october.
My questions are
1.does my wife' s visa application covers my baby(my baby has passport) or there is a separate application form for my baby?
2.we are all travelling together, as stated in my wife's application, therefore will the total cost of travelling to be stated by my wife be for her and the baby alone or all of us?
3. Also can my wife state that I am partly sponsoring the trip?
4.My wife's passport is in her maiden name, will marriage cert be enough as a proof?

we operate a joint savings account which is funded to take care of this trip for us all.( the savings account is my name and my wife's maiden name with balance of 1m.

Note that we both work fully with average salary of 230k each and we have budgeted 3000 gbp for the trip for 10 days.
