[quote author=Cashmadam post=134503549][/quote](1) i am glad we concur to 1

(2) i am glad we concur to that too

(3) i am glad we concur to that as well

(4) my sister are you truly sure they do not care about where you will be resting your head during the course of ur visit? So why do they ask during filling the application where you will be staying? And why is there a dedicated dropbox on the vfs website for accommodation.

Believe me or not my sister, a friend has been denied on basis of accommodation, not because he does not have accommodation, he put his brother address - and it was a uni accommodation - but because the eco says the uni acom is not allowed that two people should live in one room.

(5)

(6) yes that was my biggest flaw. A costly mistake.

(7) hmmm are you sure the lodgement was not necessary?
Remember the eco kept saying he is not sure if the father will sponsor the applicant. If he has seen that the father has actually paid the money, do you think the eco will still say this.
I do apply for visas a lot. Like a lot.
My own sister was coming to see me 3years ago. She owns a company. The pof was in her company acc. Mind you she is the owner of the company o.
We uploaded company cac, company statement to show her company has money,
Do you believe she was denied.
The eco says she is distinct from her company. That what if other directors do not agree that the company should pull the money out.

Which truly makes sense to me. People may write letter that they will sponsor you blah blah blah. They can choose to switch off their phones when you reach uk. They can choose to not answer you anymore when you reach uk. You then become a destitute littering the street of uk which the eco wre trying to avoid.

This is why all other visa i apply for, i make sure the sponsor make the payment into the beneficiary account, this way, the sponsor has already upfront fulfilled their obligation.

Well, like you said it is not necessary, but based on my past experience, TO ME IT IS NECESSARY.

Because a sponsor says they will sponsor you doesnt mean they cannot change their mind at the last minute. We have seen people stranded in uk saying their sponsor said they are going thru financial difficulties. Did u think those sponsors did not upload bank statement?

(8..) my sister, two truth can exist. Because you have not used leave approval before does not mean it is not a viable home tie.
There are different home ties and no one supersedes the other.
Home tie is literally home tie.
A leave approval simply means “go but come back to resume your work on so so so date”
So i dont know how that is not an home tie.
The eco himself says i did not upload “substantial”

Sustantial does not mean invalid, it means insufficient.

It means the eco needed more home ties, it does not mean that the leave approval i uploaded is not an home tie, it simply means more home ties should be uploaded.

Good day Everyone,

Can I use my Naira ATM card to pay for my visa application fees and IHS fees? If not how would I go about the payment?

Thanks

CC Justwise

Your nigerian card should work, try it first, and if it doesnt, find a trusted friend or relative in uk that can give you their card details to pay it with.
If you will be claiming back ur ihs refund in future, note that uk will only pay it to the source, that why its important to use someone u trust so they wont eat ur money when the refund enters their acc. I dont know if u understand me

At this point, I no longer feel bad for the people who are still allowing these rogue agents run applications for them. Even if you don't know how to go about the visa process, all you need to do is apply small wisdom when speaking with these agents, and you will definitely see that most of them are utterly clueless and, therefore, useless.

Imagine the agent above submitting that kind of application for a client. Did you really think that visa was going to be approved? Giselle is telling you all the problems with the application; instead of you to accept your ignorance and failure, you are proudly declaring that you will reapply for the unwitting client and add another refusal to their record. Have you ever even gotten a UK visa before? You made "mistakes" that nobody familiar with UKVI should make. I just hope nobody is actually paying you for your services. They might as well pack the money to Third Mainland Bridge and spread it over the lagoon.

It's truly despicable what some of us are doing in the name of business. And to those who see visa applications as herculean tasks that they must get someone to do for them, I say this: just know that you risk permanently damaging your immigration record with these frauds that parade themselves as agents.

Oga her/his argument holds no water. Also i am not an agent 😂 the way una dey download narrative ehn shey na from icloud una dey download am?

There is no law that says you must be willing to spend so so so amount of days or weeks or years in uk for ur application to be granted. If you are applying for a 6month visa you can decide to go for a week or 5months if you like it is within 6month. All u have to do is show a convincing timeline of what you are going to do.

There is also no law that says if you are denied today you must wait days or years or month to reapply. Its literally written that each application is attended to as it comes basis. I dont know where you people get the fallacy that you must wait for days or weeks or years to reapply. If you are denied today and you can address your mistakes you can reapply same day. Omo na wa oh. Its literally on ukvi website.

And home ties could be anything from return ticket, landed properties, rental agreements, a running employment status in home country, a child, husband or loved one at home, the list is endless.
There is no superior example of home ties over the other.
Whoever will disregard visa rules will disregard it no matter the home ties.
Various people have submitted houses as home ties and disregarded the rules by overstaying.
Various people have said their families back home is thier home ties and they chose not to come back.
So there is no superior home tie, the onus is on the eco.

Also i dont know where he/she got the narrative that for you to visit uk then it must be a self sponsored trip 😂. Anybody close to you can sponsor you so far you prove your relationship to that person and your sponsor is capable of sponsoring you. Its literally on ukvi.

There is no law above and beyond that says if you are denied visa 5 or 10 or 50 times that means you will always be denied. Denial is a normal thing provided you arent ban. So i dont understand narrative of stain travel history 😂 where exactly do you people get these narratives from? Wtf lol
People who have travelled to different countries have been denied
People who havent travelled at all have been approved
People who have been denied lots of times have also been approved
maybe i should type in caps ALL APPLICATION PROVIDED IT MEETS CORRECT PROCEDURE WILL BE TREATED AS IS. eco wont deny because u were previously denied. Na wa o

Too many false narrative i am even tired 😂

@eniola1010 which certified country has this your rich kid gone to? Travel history from 1st world nation? I can tell you for free- none.
4 days vacation when you have no money and need to rely on your father to sponsor it is wild to the ECO- ever head of genuine intention of trip and that the ECO evaluates for this? As in purpose? What purpose exactly?
Work approval letter is not a tie. Tell us what they are earning and how much they have to themselves, say their father does not come through- how will they circumvent the trip? ECO puts this into perspective.
Booking accomodation is not a tie. Booking full course meal is not a tie.
Father sending a working adult 2.1m to sponsor a vacation which is not a do or die affair- is not a tie to Nigeria!!!

This individual has also been renting for 19 years… let me say they started renting since they were 18 years old, this means they are now 37 years old.
ECO does mot expect a minimum 37 year old that is working to wait on her father to sponsor her vacation.
I bet they are older than this.. so say they are in their 40s, I too would be concerned as an ECO too.
Pray tell me how has this applicant or application convinced anyone?
Visa is only issued on the premise that you have satisfied the ECO on the probability of coming back to Nigeria- you have failed to establish this even in your arguments. Kindly do not reapply without change of circumstances, they will be denied.
Unfortunately you have the ideas- all wrong and convinced the applicant wrongly. Too sad. Imagine your thinking is to go and buy a return ticket and show landed property receipt- how have you addressed the refusal questions by these? Abort mission.

Lmao 😂😂😂
You just dey argue confidently loud and wrong at the same time lolz wahala.

Applicant is 28years. Eco can see applicant’s dob. Where are you downloading these your narratives from? 😂😂

At start of application you will be asked where you live and if you own the house you live or you rent

Applicant parent have been renting since applicant was born and they still rent till date. 😂😂 she say na 40years old. Na 70years you go see. Just dey throw narrative up and down

Lol ur arguments are laughable. Visa officers do not think like black people. The rules are written plain and clear.
Because you have never travelled out of nigeria is not a basis for a visa officer to deny your application so that talk holds no water. Thats a fallacy.

Furthermore, yes a leave approval from your employer is an home tie. Lol its laughable again that you will assume this is not an home tie. Home tie is simply anything that will make you want to come back home. A person’s who is gainfully employed is an home tie argue all you want it is what it is.

Additionally, why do you keep repeating 2,100,000 as an home tie lol 😂😂. I dont know where you downloaded that narrative from. I never said that is applicant’s tie. I have also not said accommodation is a tie. I think u have a bit of comprehension glitch. The only home tie i have submitted is employment letter and approval of leave.

Also, why you saying things the eco has not said, or you be eco 😂😂? Eco has only said he cannot establish relationship with child and he is not sure the dad can sponsor. These are the only things the eco had issue with. Eco ommitted the fact the dad has paid the money already, if he has seen that the only issue he would have is relationship between father and child.

I dont know where you read that if you want to spend 3days or 2years in uk your visa will be denied 😂

I also dont know how you arrived at the fact that an employment in your home country that is currently running is not an home tie, maybe you should tell us what home ties are😂

Like i said. I will be reapplying again. The eco has laid what needs to be corrected.

They are correct. Too many red flags in your application- I do not know which one to address.
1. 4 days?
2. Father sponsoring adult?
3. This individual is working and can not sponsor vacation- is it a do or die?
4. Paid full course meal in hotel- how does this guarantee that they will come back to Nigeria?
5. 2.1 million meams they will come back?
6. No birth certificate and ECO will assume relationship.
7. Remark of lodgement saying vacation expenses- so they will come back?
Abeg dont go back now, buying return ticket and landed property is irrelevant.

Sorry i missed ur earlier response

You might be right but not completely
(1) spending 4 days to sightsee in another country is not a big deal. Besides the agent is lazy its 7days not four days. Rich kids go to usa uk for a week and return its not a big deal. People go abroad for confrences of 2-3days. Its not against the rule that the duration of ur stay will determine ur desicion.

(2) if the adult does not have enough money is it bad if a rich dad sponsors his child to go have fun? Applicant upload statement where her salary comes in, agent can see that she is gainfully employed, dads committment is just extra financial push which to me is not a bad thing. The agent doesnt have issues with that because they know parents can sponsor thier child(ren). Its not against the rule that a parent cannot sponsor a child.

(3) there is no rule in ukvi that says if you cannot sponsor yourself then you must not apply. All you have to show is if that sponsor is capable of sponsoring you.

(4) the paid hotel shows accommodation not home ties. We all know accommodation is a determinant for decision. I never said the hotel is an home tie. You will be asked where you will be staying during ur course of visit, which is where the hotel comes in.

(5) lol, have i said 2.1m means they will come back. I dont understand ur statement in number 5 lol.

(6) no birth cert now you have a point. Birth cert is avail but i assumed that agent should be able to determine relationship with ID card i accept that is a flaw on my side.

(7) lol remark only shows the true nature of why the money was paid not to proof they will come back

Now as for the come back you kept emphasising. Work approval letter for leave shows the date approved by applicants employer stating when leave is granted and when she need to resume was uploaded. This is a solid home tie amongst other examples of home ties. However work approval of leave letter was the only home tie i uploaded.

I will be reapplying again. I will share the outcome with you.

giselle237:
Can you share what the refusal reasons were?

Note that the father of the person applying already lodged the 2.1m in the account the officer failed to acknowledge this

The person applying also uploaded employer approval for leave and when she must return to work (i dont know why this is not enough home ties)

Apart from the 2,100,000 the person have booked and paid for hotel which comes with full course meal and also paid for tourist activities (these are not in the 2,100,000 oh) so is 2,100,000 not enough for return ticket?

The sender of the 2,100,000 is the father of the person applying and they bear same surname as the person applying and both the person applying and the sender uploaded international passports to proof relationship (admittedly that because someone bears your surname does not mean the person is your father) but the 2,100,000 has already been lodged so there is no cause for alarm about the sponsor’s financial circumstance.
The remark of the lodgement even says “vacation expense paid by dad” from peter joshua to peter faith

I dont understand what concerns the agent if applicant rents or not

What i will just work on is
Adding a return ticket and receipt of landed property of the person applying at least this should solidify home ties

Will also add birth certificate to solidy relationship between dad and applicant

Education › Re: Oyo: Students To Win Cash Prizes In Annual Seyi Makinde Essay Competition by eniola1010(m): 6:05pm On Mar 07, 2025

EmirOfBodija:
As students across the country continue to prepare for school resumption following the lockdown enforced by the COVID-19 pandemic, a socio-political support group of the Oyo State government, Omituntun Initiative in the Diaspora (OID), has commenced the annual Seyi Makinde Essay Competition to empower youths.

According to the organisers, the competition is aimed at empowering youths with socio-economic problem-solving skills.

“The competition aims to create a platform for public policy discourse on the socio-economic concerns of Oyo State youths who comprise over 70 per cent of the state population (NBS, 2016).

“In line with the vision of the state Governor, Seyi Makinde, youths would be equipped with necessary socio-economic and educational exposure and skills for their future career development.

These future leaders will take the mantle of leadership and propel the state to the next phase of developmental revolution,” the organisers added.

Participants would have the luxury of choosing one of the two themes for the competition, namely,

‘The role of youth in achieving good governance, leadership and development in Oyo state’, or ‘Digital grassroot innovation for sustainable agriculture in Oyo State’, a release by the organisation said.

Speaking on the conditions for participation, OID spokesperson, Barrister Ayotomiwa Adebayo, said: “Entrants must be either an indigene of Oyo or reside in the state; they must be tertiary students, they must be between ages of 15 and 30; the maximum word count is 1000 words, font size of 12 and line spacing of 1.5.

There is 20 per cent plagiarism percentage limit and deadline for submission is November 15, 2020.

“Also, the only language allowed is English and submissions must be made in Microsoft Word format alone.

The topic should be addressed as it applies to the Oyo State situation and entries be made to admin@omituntunindiaspora.org

“The best essay will be awarded a sum of N150,000, the second best a sum of N100,000 and the third best a sum of N50,000.

Top 20 essays will be sponsored for competent development training.”

But on thier website it says u need transit.
