Visa alert!

6 months visa for my parents
They have both visited the UK a few times between 2011-2014. Their last visas was 2years but I decided to apply for 6months since it’s being a long time they travelled.

Biometrics- 5/11/24
Received by DMC- 7/11/24
Collection mail- 21/11/24
Passport collected- 22/11/24

Documents submitted:

My Brp
Bank statements
Payslips
Tenancy Agreement
Contract letter
Utility bill
My birth certificate
Letter of Invitation

Documents submitted for them:

Property documents
Bank statements- Dad got a letter from church as he had some large deposits for church construction
Mum’s bank statements also had large deposits but we didn’t bother to explain
Their marriage certificate
Consent letter from my sisters who live with them

My dad has his own company and they have always used the company document to apply for their UK visa. However, we chose retired for them as the company is no longer doing well with the present state of the economy. As such, we did not submit any retirement letter or pensions.
Congratulations

For those of us that applied Via TLSCONTACT before VFS took over from 19th, November kindly help answer this.

Who sent collection mail? VFS or TLS?
Where did you pick up? VFS or TLS?

Thanks

I was refused ooo ... second time in almost 2 weeks. I thought if I reapplied and address the issue of certified bank statement , it would work .. but those people came back to tell me my vaccination is invalid... LOL.... I feel like reapplying just so I can write a letter to show my anger ( joking)
Give it time.

This is crazy and very ridiculous excuse to refuse someone.

But you've learned two things from the two applications, which is not to take chances, make sure you provide everything including what may not be required

I would advise anyone to go for physical submission instead of DHA.... Just my own opinion.

I posted the full information here to show people how expensive the fees VFS is charging but the Nairaland Antispam bot banned me.

Be warned that VFS charges is 2 times that if what TLSCONTACT charged.

Hence choose carefully

I'm so pissed right now ! I keep wondering if VFS didn't include my SOA to the application .. When I saw the email requesting for additional document, I thought the embassy wanted me to show proof of how I made the money in my account and I only sent documents and letters to that regards..

To interpret the English literally, it means Bank Statement, but since you said you provided.

Did you put yours as an individual or the company's?

TravelRe: Securing Visa To France, Applying From Nigeria... by davodyguy: 7:21pm On Nov 21, 2024
AKAyomide:
It was a vacation and it is a virgin passport
So let me answer

1. The office since you included their statement should have written a letter of sponsorship and that you mean so much to them, hence sponsoring your vacation
2. You needed to have written a personal letter to speak about who you are and the reason why you wouldn't japa
3. Because you're not traveled before, to show you're previous immigration history of returning to Nigeria after those travel, they're scared you won't return
4. If you're married and they see that something like your family would make you return, they may have considered
5. If you have any landed property assets that would make you return, they would have considered.


If you want to reapply, out all these in place

Hi everyone, I’m applying for a South African visa and would love some advice. For the successful applicants, how did you handle flight bookings for your South African visa application? Did you book actual flights, use dummy tickets (and if so, where do you get them), or is there another method you use? Any tips or recommendations would be greatly appreciated! Thank you so much.
There's no embassy that would request that you purchase a flight ✈️ ticket without the visa

Hence, only your reservation is needed, not paid ticket

Could you please elaborate ? I thought they meant to show how I made the money in my account..



This is exactly the message from VFS : Proof of own resources ............ Any documents explaining how you finance yourself.
Bank statement is what you use to finance yourself was it included?

Anyone here used VFS to submit their application ? I was asked to provide proof of resources after a little over 1 week of submission but then I noticed my tracking is showing invalid inputs after .
Did you submit bank statement?

Why did you use your Employer's SOA ? Are you going for a business trip sponsored by your company ? If it's a vacation, just use your personal bank account and write a convincing cover letter .. Plus any other documents to show proof of ties to your home country.
That is the same question I am asking. Why Company statement?

I used my company statement on two occasions and I was granted. Because the company wrote a sponsorship letter along with the statement

Introduction letter from my employer

Employer bank statement for 3 months
Employer company documents such as CAC form 2.1, CAC form 2A, CAC form 7, National Custom Service clearance certificate, FIRS certificate.
Health insurance
Accommodation booking for one week
Flight booking for the trip
Answer these questions and I will telll you why you may have been refused

1. Was it vacation or business trip, since your company dropped their statement?
2. Have you traveled to any European country before or it was virgin passport?
TravelRe: Securing Visa To France, Applying From Nigeria... by davodyguy: 3:33pm On Nov 21, 2024

I was refused. The reason was that the information submitted regarding the justification for the purpose and conditions of the intended stay wasn’t reliable.
For Schengen, this is standard statement they use.

Poverty has made us so mad in this horrible entity. Chai!

Every Nigerian MUST take time and read this short article: Possible Strategies Tinubu Is Using To Pocket Nigeria As He Did Lagos or we'll soon have ourselves to blame.

Almost everything in that article is happening one after the other - like the MC Oluomo NURTW saga, this attempt to install his family and friends in key positions and more. If we fail to listen now, we'll surely regret it later on. Nigerians need to get up instead of complaining lazily everyday.

The thing with Schengen is that you won't know the outcome until you see your passport.

For UK, once you get collection mail, visa has been granted

November 5 to 20 is 16 regular days (12 working days)
