@ giselle237 and cashmadam thanks for ur response

Actually I fully sponsor her last refused application and the reason for this denied was pure economic financial circumstances,now we want to amend it, before her next application,meanwhile, as part of her effort she just came back from Ghana by flight last month.i hope this travel will help in next application?

Am also going to be fully sponsor her and my two chilnext application, this time, she will apply with her two children, another thing is that she is going to hopen more salon shop to boost her income cos she was into hairdressing ,and she will explain this as the reason cause change in her income from 65k to 300k and also submit pictures of all the salon shop as evidence,I hope this will boost her chances of getting it next year when she reapply?

Greedy man

GodGraceOnly:
It’s Billions not millions. N3.5B.

His statement ain’t a problem as it wasn’t indicated as any issue. The issue is just that he needs to include his previous divorce certificate to his ex. Wife and also the new declaration Nothing else.

The issue is not figures, but partner

He had one partner before and now with another partner

JAccksnow:
I have. Here's the reason for refusal he sent.

I can't find application status after I logged in. I just want to see for myself. The login details I have is to the Gov.uk site.

These chaps are really unpredictable.

You have enough funds

But origin of the funds was not stated by you in any explanation

JAccksnow:
Na agent run am, Said it was refused. I have the login details, just need the website info. Thanks!

Have you seen the refusal letter or mail?

Since you have login details, log in to track via TLS website

JAccksnow:
Please guys, what's the website to check visa Status?

Same TLS you used in submitting

My account has been so active for three months with Total Withdrawals of 6,574,167.32 and Total Lodgement of 4,400,700.00 for the course of three months. Just that I have slow inflow of money this month. Okay I have heard you for your break down!

Make sure balance in the account is time 2.5 of total cost of travel

If you're spending let's say ₦2m on the rip, you balance shoulder be about ₦4m to ₦4.5m

Loveworld04:
bro are you for real pls let's chat on Whatsapp 07044548393

See desperation

A post of 9 years ago, you're dropping your contact.

Be careful not to be scammed

AKAyomide:
So at this point there is no point of submitting and wasting my documents? I am planning of spiting the funds into multiple inflow transactions to hit up the close balance.

Tidy up the account for the next 6 months and apply then

Drop ₦3m in the account

Then monthly drop ₦500k for the next 6 months, then apply

AKAyomide:
I am deeply aware that it is three months' bank statements that are needed to be printed out. It seems you didn’t read my post properly. I was saying that I had a million naira in my account right now and won’t it be obvious if six million nairas was sent into the account by spiting it within three to four days before my submission which is Nov 5?
Thank you for your response. I have contacted my workplace and three months' bank statements are needed. Please; will there be a bank reference attached to the company printed bank statement that I will submit too?

The balance in your account now is too small to even buy ticket

If you also transfer the ₦6m, it would be flagged as depositing large sums in order to trick the ECO.

It's super 🎲 for you both ways

Berisagurl:
Nope. We however had a UK visa in 2016, which we did not use because it was approved after our proposed travel date. We were a family of 3 then.

We submitted:
1. My husbands bank statements (corporate and personal)
2. Introduction letter from my husband that explained the nature of his business and a separate letter explaining the cash inflow and outflows in his bank statements.
3. Detailed itinerary of our trip. We detailed our accommodation plan, activities we would be doing and also estimated the costs of all these.
4. He wrote sponsorship letters for each of us, stating how much we would each spend and that he is covering the entire cost.
5. I wrote an introduction letter for myself, included my bank statements and also included my husband’s. And I clearly stated in the letter that he would be sponsoring. The balance in both my statements was not up to 200k. But the statements had good detailed inflow and outflow. 6months statement.
6. We also included my husband’s personal income tax receipts. He’s business is registered as a business name, so he only pays Personal income tax. He however files his annual returns with CAC so his business is active on their site.
7. Lastly we provided a lot of documents to proof home tie. Landed property docs, pics of business premises, payment receipts etc.
8. And the reason for the trip too also mattered I guess. This year is our 10th year wedding anniversary. That’s the reason we are visiting to celebrate it.

Thanks for this detailed explanation.

It tallies with what I planned to do as well

Philistine:
This will not make the front page, because the oil well is in Igboland. Yorubas are too tribalistic.

Some of you are mad and insane.

Seun that owns this forum is Yorùbá from Ogún State. If he's tribalistic, you would not have a chance to post on this forum

Berisagurl:
Thanks.
I stated I am self employed, so I submitted my business and personal statements. I attached the statements after my sponsors own and wrote an introduction letter clearly stating that my husband is sponsoring the entire trip.

That's great

I'm putting up similar application

Ours is a family of 3 and would be sponsoring as well with my wife also writing similar letter that her husband (myself) is sponsoring, just want to be guided


Any previous travel to A list countries for you and the kids before UK application?

Berisagurl:
Visa Alert!
I am a silent reader and I happened to stumble again on this thread just after I submitted my application. ( Its almost becoming a norm for most people to discover this thread after submitting an application with mistakes [color=#550000][/color].)
I submitted an application to visit the UK for our family of 6. My husband, to sponsor the trip for us all.

Mistake:
I entered the individual amount we would be spending in the space provided to answer the question "How much would you spend personally". I misinterpreted the question to mean, what's our individual budget for the trip. so instead of putting 1pound or NGN as the case maybe, I went ahead and wrote the whole sum!
I was so scared after i discovered this mistake but thanks to @cashmadam who said in one of her posts that God is still in the business of doing miracles, lol, I decided to be calm and let God do his thing!

I think some of these helped my case too:

1. There was a personalized sponsorship letter from my husband for myself and children, stating how much each of us would spend and how much he is providing.

2. After making the mistake of entering the total sum instead of putting 1pound or NGN (since our trip is entirely sponsored by my husband), in the ''How much would you spend personally" question, I still repeated the exact amount as what our sponsors would provide. For instance, after putting 3,000,000 NGN as what we would personally spend, I wrote 3,000,000 NGN as what my sponsor would contribute towards the trip. So I guess the ECO was able to figure that I misinterpreted the question.

3. I provided a detailed itinerary of our planned 3 weeks visit.

But in all, I want to attribute it to God, cause it could have gone the way regardless! Anyways, thanks to all the angels here, @giselle and @cashmadam, I have learnt how to properly fill the forms now, and I wont be making same mistake next time! To other applicants that may have made same mistake, I honestly think ECO's are trained to figure misinterpretations of questions and innocent mistakes. So I pray it works out well for you as it did for me. I have attached one of @cashmadam's response that gave me hope. Indeed God does show mercy! All the best!

Congratulations.

Did you submit your work details and personal statement or just the single statement of your husband as sponsor?

Goodkindbro:
I already paid for courier!

Then wait for delivery and share with us the outcome

Goodkindbro:
Does anyone know an accurate email address for me.

Go pick up your passport by yourself

Alex Reports don start again

kakatrigga:
This was the reason for the rejection

>> The information submitted regarding the justification for the purpose and conditions of the intended stay was not reliable <<

I don't even know what that means or how to address it.

Copy and paste reason they give for all denials.

They just copy and paste same thing for almost everyone

UK and USA do give specific reasons

Odbestie:
Good morning house

Please I need your help

can i use 3 months bank statement for a 3 weeks visit?

what's the ideal amount to fill I will be spending on this trip while my sister is covering accommodation and feeding.

Total savings in my account is 6million naira

Thanks

Your sister would be providing accomodation and feeding right?

How much is your total cost?

Ticket, accomodation and feeding estimate, let's say £2000.

Your sister can cover £1500 under is anyone else paying for your travel?

Under how much are you personally spending put £500 or it's equivalent in Naira

Odbestie:
Thanks.
Noted
So I can use 3 months bank statement?

Please what's the ideal amount to fill I will be spending on this trip while my sister is covering accommodation and feeding.

Total savings in my account is 6million naira

Yes, you can

Someone did 3 months and was granted

Odbestie:
Hello house, good day.

Please, under the employment section in UK visitor visa, I'm I to fill my bosses name or my company's name?

Name of company is what you should put not that of your manager or owner

CrestlinSynergy:
Good afternoon, everyone

It appears the Uk visa application centre may transition from TLS Contact to VFS Global from October 15, 2024 as reported on Nairametrics.

https://nairametrics.com/2024/10/14/major-changes-ahead-for-uk-visa-application-centres-worldwide/

Where did you see VFS Global in the link you shared?

Judolisco:
All dis fmr military governors get money ehn....the luckiest was fmr senate president David mark

How much was his Salary between 1996 to 1999?

Where did he see money to buy planes?

Where Marwa a Bridg General and Mil Administartor Lagos see money float Airline

How much was his salary as gov of Lagos from 1996 to 1999 before he handed over to Tinubu?

This a bloody lie

LegendHero:
Omo the man own don finish.

Make baba no just use mistake enter USA to avoid stories that touch.

They are going to freeze his account if anything is still left of the crime proceeds.

That's probably what he used in floating Air Peace

franchasofficia:
Tinubu ran away from US until he became President.


Depo Abiodun, Gbaja, etc don't enter US cos they know whatsup.

Late Senator Buruji Kashamu was also wanted in the US and they even requested his extradition but Buhari government ignored them until Kashamu died a natural death.



Allen Onyema committed no crime against the United States government and her organizations, they are chasing shadow and I know what I am saying.

If he committed no crime, why is there an arrest warrant against him?

Tinubu was in USA in 2012. Was he the president in year 2012?

You guys are jokers 😂😆


If only you can comprehend English


“After allegedly using his airline company as a cover to commit fraud on the United States’ banking system, Onyema, along with his co-defendant, allegedly committed additional crimes of fraud in a failed attempt to derail the government’s investigation of his conduct,” said U.S. Attorney Ryan K. Buchanan. “The diligence of our federal investigative partners revealed the defendants’ alleged obstruction scheme, making it possible for the defendants to be held accountable for their aggravated conduct of attempting to impede a federal investigation.”

YesDaddyTill203:
Mumu can you read?
These are new charged piled on top of the old ones. It's called superceeding indictment.
Tinubu had never been wanted or arrested for any crime in the US or anywhere in the world.
Go and read how Oyenma used money meant for public use to start his Airline probably with Mama piss and Jonathan blessings
justice. gov/usao-ndga/pr/ceo-nigerian-airline-and-co-defendant-indicted-obstruction-justice

That's what these igbó bigots don't understand.

They have grievous evidences against Alex, that's why he has refused to enter the USA.

Mumu people here saying they want to bring him down.

Why didn't they bring down the founder of Arik Air or Green Africa?

franchasofficia:
How many black men get justice in the US Judiciary if not one that will be useful to the State?


He committed no crime young man. Read my edited comment again and understand better

Tinubu had issues in USA, he didn't go to jail
Same with Dapo Abiodun and Gbajabiamila. Difference is that they're arrested, indicted, pleaded guilty and they got lesser sentences.

Alex has refused to go to USA since 2018 till date.

He's lucky that US is yet to demand extradition.

JetStar:
I always say it that politicians only play the tribal card to their profit. The real reason why Onyema and those Igbo "billionaires" have not been arrested for their crimes is because they played their politics withe Nigerian big wigs well. If they were to be yahoo boys dem for don send EFCC to raid their houses at Night and extradict them to the US or charge dem to court in Nigeria and jail them.

USA is yet to demand extradition.

They only said he would be arrested if he enters USA soil
