I have a bro in the U.K. Who's a citizen and already has 3kids there all citizens, he recently invited dad and he got his visa, I was thinking he could apply on the note that he's too old and can't fly alone coz he's over 60yrs, I have a good statement and balance of 2.4 million, I'm into business/real estate and just started processing my CAC, we get payment base on percentage and not salary, I need advice because an agent promised to get an employment note, I need advice and I will be there for just 2 weeks.

Hi @Vicjustice, @Ekpotek, and every member on here, keep up the good work guys. I need your opinion in regards a situation.

My family and I are planning on visiting the U.K for 2-3weeks holiday. My wife and I have been married for over a year and we have a 9months old baby. We intend getting a 6months U.K visa for myself and our baby as it will be our first time, my wife still has a valid U.K visa. We plan on visiting in 2months but intend to have the visa processed immediately but we have a situation.
I am currently out of job almost a year now but my personal savings account with every now and then debit and credit transactions has about 350k naira balance in it. We intend indicating my wife as a sponsor (her savings account balance is 1.4m or thereabout), her salary account balance is less than 300k naira (she has been at her job for over a year). But she has a UK bank account in her name that she uses in collecting rent every month from her late dad's property that she manages and pays service charge on the flat.. with a balance of about 8000 pounds or thereabout in it. We will be staying at the property while visiting, hence there wont be additional accomodation cost/expenses.

*What would your expert advise/opinion be in regards how to go about the application?
*Should we go ahead and present her to be the sponsor on the form?
*Do we include her savings account with 1.4m in it? Or Her U.K bank account statement with 8000pounds in it? or Both? And also include my own savings account with 350k naira balance in it?
*Do both my application and our baby's application stand a chance of being approved?

Any additional information and advise would be appreciated. Thanks

NB: She has visited the U.K over 10 times in the last 25years+, had her Masters and BSc there. I have never applied to the U.K, my current passport is new, but i have been to South Africa 3times and Swaziland once in the last 5years on my previous (Lost/Stolen) passport.

Greeting Gurus in the house. I tracked on TLS vi and the update is your passport is ready for collection but I am yet to get a pick up mail from TLS. Do I go there uninvited or wait for the pick up mail. Stay blessed

@ Ekpotek and Justice Please. My application was submitted on 8th of March, 2017 and up till now I have not receive any update. I sent SHEFFO a message to kindly help me track this application and they replied on 14th April that their is delay on the decision as its currently undergoing enquiries. Since then I have not receive any update and its going to two months. Please what could be causing the delay?

Thanks a lot. I found a hotel one of my friends used for £12 a night. I'll be staying for 3 nights. The 4th day I'll be travelling back.
I've been to the UK before (2012) on a tier 4 student visa which is very staightforward. This is my 1st time of applying as for standard visitor.
Thanks once again.

@Justwise. Yes. He just got a job about 3 months ago. Can he send that please?

Dr9ce:
Thanks @ekpotek , I have about 2400GBP in my account(naira equivalent), if I my estimated travel expenses is around 1100 GBP, like how much can i say is available to me for this trip that will likely get me a visa. Thanks for your usual patience and enlightening response.

Dr9ce:
Thanks, so do i state all I have in my account to answer the second question?

Dr9ce:
I intend to travel soon but I have some challenges. My net pay after tax is 200k which is what I filled on the visa application, but I also contribute to my cooperative at work which reflects on my pay slips. So my net pay on the pay slip and bank statementsis around 156 to 160k depending on other deductionsites which varies from month to month. Please how do I explain this? Then there is huge deposit from my cooperative in April, which I plan to finance this trip, I ll be getting a letter of introduction from the cooperative, will this suffice? Then how exactly should I answer the question below ;
1) What is the cost to you personally for your trip?
2) Total amount of money you have for this trip?
Thanks.

Thank you but how would I have addressed the issue of my previous refusals? Please throw more light. First refusal was financial instability and the educational centre I wanted to go for training, second and third was financial incapacitation

Earning 500k as G.O and President of the Church. My previous refusal was not with the Church but different company and then issue was financial incapacitated

Hello Justwise & Co.

I have had 2 different uk visa in the past 10years with travel history. My last visa (6 months) was issued late last year which I used in travelling. It just got expired last month & I intend applying for a 2 years visa now. What are the supporting documents I need to provide? As I will be visiting & staying @ my cousins place, which as always been the case in the past. Whilst she always provides accomodation & feeding. Do I need an invitation letter fom her again for this application? Also her other documents like copy of british passport, bank statement, pay slip, evidence of mortgage etc? Aside my own bank statements, payslip, intro letter & employment details.

Same document you had always used before with update. Since you have been approved 6 months twice, then you can go for 2 years if you can afford it.


Many thanks

Thank you. The only information i have is his name but not his phone number or address or email.
would that suffice?

Hello Nairalanders. Need your opinion ! My fiancée and I are planning to go on a vacation to the UK. Do we stand a chance if she is the sponsor of the trip for both of us? Is it weird as we are not yet married. We intend to use her own bank statements as she has more than sufficient funds as against mine.

highway04:
Please I need advise. I did biometric on 11th April. Got confirmation email in UK on 14th application been received and on processing. Have not heard from them till now. Date of traveling was on 24th of this April. Had earlier been denied UK visa in 2009, 2010 and 2011. Never applied again till now. Been to Qatar, Georgia, Kenya, Ethiopia, etc. Submitted closing balance of 4.3M. Total money to spend is 800k and total available money for seven days trip is 1m. I stated I receive 700k per month in two organizations, one 500k while other 200k. One of 500k is church and the 500k reflected in my account for six months. Had other monies that enters my account which I highlighted to the ECO in separate sheet. Please what are my chances this time?

Okay. So I can just mention his name, without further details? ....I also heard that UK interviews are now face to face...is this true?

Hello house,

I want to renew my UK visa (2years) but my passport expires in March 2018, will this affect the decision? Considering my passport will expire in less than a year. Please kindly advise... thanks

@ustwise

I don't speak with him anymore. We stopped communicating long ago. I don't even have his number or address. Won't that complicate matters for me?

jossyking10:
Justwise what am saying is this. My account balance is N756000 and the to total budget is £750-800 out of which my brother in UK is ready to support me with £250. So the total cost to me personally will be like £550. That is spending over 200k out of the N756000 in my account. Can my brother send 3months bank statement of his from the UK and a letter to that effect. I honestly wish to attend his graduation because we are very close. And he too attended my graduation when I finished from University of Wolverhampton.

Hi people, please i am trying to renew my 5yrs UK visa.
My challenges right now are as follows:

1. The last time i traveled to the UK was in 2013, i used a family friend's invitation letter for the application.
2. I had issues at Heathrow airport because they said I was checking into a hotel instead of going to my friend's house.
3. Now, i don't want to tie my application to my family friend because we haven't been communicating for a while now.
4. Will they deny me based on the fact that i won't be using my friend? The column where they asked if i have anyone in the UK, if i say yes..they'll request certain information about my friend that i cannot provide and if i say no, I'm sure they have my previous travel history in their system already.

How do i go about this? please help me house.

Hello.
Pls I want to apply for 6 months UK visa for a professional exam. I'm stating that I'll stay for 4 days as it's a one day exam.

I'm married with 2 kids. I currently earn about 140k monthly...being transferred into my account everymonth by my company.
I've been working for the past 5 yrs and the last 2 of which has been in my present company.
I currently have about N1.2m in my account. I've been saving 80 to 100k from my salary monthly for the past 6 months. I also have a car in my name and some shares.
I stated that my husband is the main bread winner of the family and pays most of the bills....so I get to save a substantial amount of my salary over the past 4yrs.
But my husband doesn't have enough money in his account presently. But he has several land documents and a car in his name.
Do I have to submit his account details or can I just use my account since I'll be the main sponsor?
Do you also think I have enough funds to sponsor myself?

Total expenses for the trip (air plane ticket, hotel accommodation and feeding) is roughly £600 (N300k).

I stated that the exam is very important to me as it will help me advance my career. And I've been saving for it for a while.

Please how do i make payments for VISA application?
My Naira cards are not going through online

Mandydaisy:
Hello everyone,
Please I have a little issue.... I lost my previous passport that had a valid 5yrs visa that would have expired next year. I now have a new passport and want to apply but my question is this:

1. Can I apply for a 2 years visa instead of 6months visa since this isn't my first visa?

2. Can I make payment at the visa center as it used to be done or do I have to make payment with my card?

Thanks for your input.

jossyking10:
God bless you real good. Please can I make the total amount available for the trip to be £800 instead of it to be £750 inorder to have £50 extra? Is my immigration history going to count as I studied in UK till 2012. Thanks.

jossyking10:
Thank you ekpotek. God bless you. Please help me to answer the following questions as asked on the form if my brother agrees to give me £250 and I will put £500 as my flight which i will pay myself. I also came back from UK 5 years ago as a student.

1) What is tge cost to you personally for your trip?
2) Total amount of money you have for this trip? Should this be the addition of d money I want to pay myself and the £250 my brother want to give me?
3) What should I write in the space that says ' WHY IS MY BROTHER PAYING PART OF MY TRIP?

Please enlighten me more on this because I do read on this forum that we can still spend 2 months of d salary or a little above that. If am going to pay everything myself that £750 does not exceed my 2 months salary. Thanks.

How do I convince the ECO that I'll return? A strong letter from my employer? I just want to write the exam and be done with it. I'll check your previous responses. Thank you
