Don't believe you will leave at the end of your visa bla bla bla

Chips101:
That seems quite surprising. What did they cite as reason for refusal?

I have US valid visa and UK 6 months unused visa

Chips101:
I'm so sorry to hear that. Were you a first-time applicant, or was this a renewal?

And if you don't mind sharing a general rundown of your travel history and profile?

Hello, does anyone have any updates from applications from the first or second week of September? (31st August to 11 September?) Just looking to see if approval timelines have gotten better.

The funding for my trip came from 3 different sources.

1. Personal savings equivalent of 2 month disposable income , 20% of travel funds
2. Rental income from property , 70% of travel funds
3. Personal draw from business profit , 10% of travel funds.

Kossyfelicia:
So do you advise transferring the enough money required for the 4days trip from company account to saving account?

Not personal income tax, i own a business in the hospitality sector so I pay consumption tax monthly

MasterJayJay:
Your personal income tax?

I would love to see a copy of your cover letter.

MasterJayJay:
Did you submit tax certificate?
I am guessing you paid salary to yourself. What narration did you use when paying yourself?

I didn't submit any tax certificate but I submitted evidence of monthly tax remittances to the state government for six months.

Good Afternoon Everyone, Can someone that's Self Employed , owns a company sponsor himself for a 4 days trip to UK? CAC DOCUMENT registered since 2016 and active too. Salary payment monthly from the business account to the savings account. But he want the company to sponsor him. The money in the company account is 5.2m available for him. Savings account 1.2m.

Please advise is it a Good Decision to make.?

in my case I transferred 350k from company to personal account, that represents about 10% of my travel costs. I labelled it owners draw. A sole proprietorship business is not different from the owner so legally the company can't sponsor the owner because both are seen as one.

Imagine how much Nigeria would spend if the president had to travel on chartered aircraft that is not Nigeria's. Does it not make economic sense that we bought our own aircraft. The aircraft is a tool to bring more prosperity to Nigeria. People like Obi are arm- chair critics who have never delivered development to their people as he is penny wise but pounds foolish. Don't mind them jare, the Jagaban !

it's actually cheaper doing chartered

oz4real83:
he forgot to tell us who appointed the mumus that didn't do their duties. If you appoint a mumu to carry out a task, when that mumu fails, the responsibility is on the appointer of the mumu . The minister as well as other Nigerians should always learn to take responsibility for their actions or inaction

Unfortunately, he said the truth, members of sports associations are elected through state associations, if the government ministry tries to intervene, the association will be suspended by international bodies. That's the reality. In other countries, government don't fund sport associations.
