Slowandgood: Thank you Sir
First time 6months UK visit visa applicant with self service
Application was to go preparatory course in April 2020 and exam in May 2020 all in UK.
Materials uploaded online : 1.7 months payslip and account statement (opening of 20k closing of 1.4M) 2.Letter of introduction to British Deputy High Commissioner office for both the preparatory course and the exam 3.Visa support letters from the exam body in UK 4.House rent transfer receipt and nepa bill 5.Letter from my pension manager and stockbroker 6.Spouce visa support letter 7. Family pictures, children school fees receipts and their results 8. Land documents and car documents 9. Flight reservations for both travels (April and May 2020)....though they already expired 10. Hostel accommodation in UK (free cancellation policy) for both travels in April and May....still current until yesterday I cancelled them since I was travelling again due to Coronavirus 11. Cover letter stating my traveling in April for the preparatory course , coming back, then travelling again in May for the exam. ...because both were 42 days apart and my office cannot great me to stay in uk that long since am not in annual leave.
Finances : Salary 468k, disposable income 400k.....spent 68k for family upkeep while wife (lecturer) contributes 30k from her salary. ...she also stated it in her letter & also to happily stay with the children while I travel
Total cost of travelling in April . ..360k.....3 days
Total cost of travelling in May....400k........4 days
I told ECO that both cost of travels was 760k which is still below my 2 months disposable income of N800k and I still have a balance of about N600k after all the travels. Also my investments, pension and land documents.
My home ties...
Family Work Investment Land
Timeline : My application was submitted online on 3rd March 2020 in ikeja TLS centre ( i wanted to do priority appointment of about N145k because it was closed to my traveling date. ....but on further advise, I chose standard appointment of about 45k...with hope of getting the visa exactly in 3weeks time, so that I can travel on 2nd April 2020.
Biometrics on 4th March 2020
Passport picked on 25th March 2020...exactly 3 weeks after biometrics with 6 months visa application granted starting from June to December 2020
My travel dates were April 2020 and May 2020
Due to Coronavirus pandemic. ...my preparatory course and exam was shifted by the exam body to possibly September 2020
I was seriously worried because it will affect my travel if I get visa with validity from March 2020.
I sent mail to uk visa office 2 weeks ago that my purpose of visa application has been shifted to possibly September 2020 due to the Coronavirus pandemic , that i will if I will be given the visa, It should start by August 2020, because given me visa from March 2020 may be expired before I travel and this may make me apply for another visa again. After 48hours, I got response from UK visa office that there is nothing they can do about it. I left everything to God in prayers.
I got my passport today exactly 3 weeks after biometrics with 6 months visa application granted starting from June to December 2020.....meaning I will still do all my intended travels after the Coronavirus pandemic is curtailed.
Maybe God touched the ECO heart to re-adjust the visa validity dates.
Thank you all again. That's great My cousin is having her wedding in April, which is why we applied, but she had to postpone till summer |

Mstaiwoabby: Thank you all for your response. I really appreciate your time. The problem with my account is that, I transfer almost all the money that enters my account for business. But from your advices now, I have decided to get a personal separate account for salary. That is, I will be transferring money from my business account to my personal account. Considering the fact that I will be applying with my daughter... My Questions are; 1. What is the reasonable amount I can be depositing? From 200k to 400k 2. How much should be the reasonable account balance at the end of six months for me and my daughter. You'll calculate total expenses for you and family (wife and daughter) then add ₦50,000 extra. If you need ₦300k, add ₦50,000 extra. Reapply around September and Target Christmas period winter for vacation. December is almost here |

Travel › Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 4 by davodyguy: 7:41pm On Mar 18, 2020 |
Mstaiwoabby: Hello Good people. Thanks for your effort in keeping this thread Alive. I got refused today. I did my biometrics with my 2 years old daughter on the 29th of February for tourist visa. I will really appreciate if you can read through this refusal letter and suggest a better way to apply next time. Thanks in advance. The IO explained the reasons behind her decision and I've learned a lot from the UK style of account statement. When I applied for Visas to Japan, Australia, NZL, Turkey, France etc as a business owner, I simply used my office as sponsor and also provided by savings account on all occasions, and was granted. The UK system seems different. 1. Your annual earnings claimed in your letter is about ₦11million 2. The balance in your account at the time of application is ₦8million. Officer was confused as to how you earn ₦11m and yet your only account is showing you don't even have what you claim to be earning as balance. 3. The officer needs to be convinced that the entire ₦8million balance at the time of application is available for only you and that you'll not pay staff salaries, expend on other things. She's not convinced. Points 1-3 are what decision was based on. Start paying yourself salary with through transfer or withdrawals, deposit it into a savings account and start taking all personal expenses from that savings account and not touch the company account again. If your monthly expenses for school fees, utilities like cable TV, electricity, food/shopping, fueling is around ₦200k, just always transfer this amount from company's account to personal account monthly and do expenses from there |
