In my salary account statement, I carefully asterisked my salary as they came in each month to align with the payslip of each month. In my self-introduction letter, I also explained the source of all inflows into my personal account.

I have been a silent reader of this thread, always looking at people's experiences (for both approved and refused application), so I learnt quite a lot from here. Thank you so much to all of you for sharing with us.

Above all, I believe God's mercy and favour came into play....it all ended in praise!!!

There is a general problem with the app used for tracking, November 18 is a long long time ago, I think you should visit their office for Collection to see if it’s already there or call ukvi or send a mail

tommiefalz:
good day peeps
pls how can I reach ukvi
I tried tracking my application on tlc app but it's not opening
and I did my biometrics on 18th of November
I'm really worried

Download the Tls contact app on your phone, open it and Input your details, Surname and passport number. It’s that simple. Good luck

tommiefalz:
good day everyday
I hope you are all doing fine
please I did my biometrics in Abuja on 18th of November and till date, I haven't gotten any response....pls how can I track my Visa on-line..... please I need someone to direct me... thanks

My younger brother applied for a tourist visa since November 8 and up till now no words from them, whenever he tracks it says the same it’s saying to you “application is being accessed at the high commission” his travel date is passed. Do let me know if it turns out your passport is at vfs when you check

MisterBB:
Hi nairalanders. I am a first time traveler (or a would be first time traveler). I applied for a tourist S.A visa at VFS, Lagos on the 3rd of december. The trip was scheduled for the 20th of december till 26th, so its passed already. Also, everyone that I know that applied on the same day has gotten his/hers whether approved or rejected.
Each time i track my application on vfs site it shows ‘application is been processed and at the commission’. It’s over a month now and a friend of mine suggested that i should go to vfs (maybe it is there, i don’t know) as all calls have proved abortive.
I am worried and doubtful it will be in my favour considering the time taken. At least, if it will be rejected, why take so long since the time has even passed ? How can I get my passport back asap, what step can i take? I need to use the passport for another visa application.

Check your spam or junk, should be there I guess

Dear Nairalanders,

I commend you all for the selfless contributions you have been making.

I really need your insight on this�

I submitted an application for a standard visitors Visa to visit my brother in London on the 1st of December (my 2nd application after the first since 2018) my application went normal and received messages as my application progresses but I didn't receive any refusal email and when my passport was ready for collection on the 30th of December. I wasn't issued any Visa and there was no refusal note included too ,up until now I still haven't received the reason for my refusal via email.

Please can kindly advise me on how to request for the reason for refusal or is there still any chance that I will get in on my mail.

Thanks.

Congratulations, what’s the time frame of your application? I mean processing time

My mum submitted her first visa application in October but got denied based on “Bank Statements Transaction Lacks Credibility”. However, to be honest, We did deposit a lump sum into her account from different sources which totaled 1.2 or thereabout.

A week after her first application was denied, we submitted it again without the inclusion of her bank statement but instead, with mine as her sponsor. My balance was extremely heavy with good activity on the account. This morning, she got her 4 months multiple entry visa.

Note: if you’re sponsoring any family members, ensure to include your birth certificate or a affidavit.

Try “paga” option, it ll work

Hello all, Pleassntries to everyone especially those who share valuable information on this thread. I have been trying to make payment with First Bank and Stanbic IBTC naira cards and paent has continually been declined. Please advise on which bank card works best..���

In my opinion I think you should reapply with your business statement Attached with your savings to enable the officer have a view of how well your business is doing and source of salary. Happy new year sir.

jamesd09878:
Happy New Year. No i didn't submit my business statement but only submitted my salary account. There is no other deposit but only my salary which was #499,500 and spent #75,000 out of my salary on each month. I'm just tired of all these

Sorry about this, did you submit your business statement of account? Also the visa officer complained about unexplained deposit.

jamesd09878:
We just got our refused letters and Really don't know what to do again. pls help for the next step.

Find the attachment of our refusal letters

Yes a friend flew BA a few days ago. He is there in the UK now

graceodini:
Good morning house. Please have you seen anyone that travelled to the UK recently for less than 10days?

What was the duration of the visa application, I mean when did you apply and when did you get a response? My friend applied 3 weeks ago and no news yet from them

Yhamo:
Good day house,
I recently applied for Visitor's visa for my wife and a year old son to visit SA. The application was packaged in such a way that my wife is working with a salary of about 200k naira per month( Salary was deposited in her account for more than three months consecutively) and a letter of confirmation of employment was attached, it was also declared that she is a fashion designer(that's her main job anyway), and she sew clothes for clients on weekends when shes not working, she also has some students she trains as well, hence, there were inflow and outflow of small amount of money(4k, 5k, 10k, 15k, 20k etc) frequently in her account. The balance in her account as at the time of submission was around 1.9m naira accumulated over time.
The person that invites her have a Permanent Resident in SA with good job and good pay as well, bank statements and even payslip of the person was submitted.

The application was rejected on the ground that "Bank statement Transaction lacks credibility" .

What could have went wrong with this application and what can one do in the future to avoid this?

Thanks guys and complement of the season to evryone.
