Goodluck70000:
Thanks Cashmadan for ur response

But remaining one more question please, the question is


1) Can we write letter to clarify previous visa refusal on the applicant business letter headed paper.

Why do you want to write it on a letter headed paper? Was the previous application a business visa application? Or are you planning a business visa? Just seeking clarification.

I have a one year industrial experience in marketing.

You can apply to anywhere and get in, however, what i usually advice people is, do a course you will ace the subjects very easily so that you can spend some extra time building skills to land you a sponsored job. Navigating the job market is not easy so imagine adding a very stressful course because you feel it will give you an edge and you end up struggling or performing badly. That is enough mental decapitation. On the other hand, it could work in your favour if the course is sellable though difficult and can get you sponsored with an additional time invested to catch up, but again make sure money is not the distraction (hustling). All the best

Good day all, please, for those applying for a visitor visa, do they need to create the UKVI account before the visa is issued, or does the visa have to be issued before they create the UKVI Account? Thanks

From a recent visa approval i am aware of, it appears it is after the visa approval that you set up the UKVI account

Please I have a question. My workplace has already selected a day to celebrate Pride Month, but participating in this event doesn't align with my personal faith and values. I want to be respectful and professional ,how can I politely excuse myself from participating without causing offense?

Book the day off or call in sick! The choice is yours. In the end, its not about celebrating, you can sit in one corner doing your thing.

Good day, fam.

Please I need your advice on an issue affecting my UK visa application.

I have applied for the UK Standard Visitor Visa three times over the past year, and unfortunately, they were all refused on the grounds of financial stability even though I have a sponsor who’s covering the entire cost of my trip.

To increase my chances, I engaged a professional visa agent who helped me put together a much stronger application. I’ve also been saving diligently for the past six months in preparation.

However, a few days ago, I noticed a huge withdrawal from my salary account through a GSI (Global Standing Instruction) recovery system. It turns out GTBank recovered funds due to a loan I took last year. I had been repaying monthly, but after the last visa refusal, I paused payments to focus on saving more towards my journey. I was not aware of this system neither was I alerted by the bank for loan repayment before pulling a GSI recovery system. Also, they send me unclear statement of account monthly that indicate just interest and not the loan.

Now, I’m really confused and unsure of the next step to take. Please, what solution or advice can you offer? I’ll deeply appreciate any help.

Thank you.

In my opinion, if you have to print out the statement and the GSI recovery appears, leaving you with little balance afterwards, honestly, there isn't much to be done here. You'd have to go back to the drawing board, saving monthly and preparing for that application. You don't want to patch up any document and I understand the anticipation to make an application ASAP but you have consider past refusals and the need to do it right.

House, can I still apply for ILR and British Passport if I was found written 8 letter words on my palm, and i was not allowed to write the life in the uk test and I was told to rebook but no refund will be made. My question: is it gonna affect my ilr application?
Thanks

It shouldn't if no criminal records is documented against you. You are fine.

NowisGod109:
I am submitting tomorrow. Still merging docs. I just checked my mail now and I saw cancellation notice. I used my gtb $$ card whc I entered. I intend submitting like that without booking them again. I hope it won't affect it

To be fair, no one knows if it will sway the decision making. The best you can do is to just package your application watertight to ensure you have done your best and whatever the outcome, you wouldn't feel bad. What other folks do is to just write out their proposed plans in a statement of explanation and then, hope for the best.
If you considered booking a tourist package, it could expire before you get the decision, so just go with what you have in mind.

NowisGod109:
Hello all,

The tour I booked on TripAdvisor were all cancelled. What xoukd ve the problem and hope this won't affect my application??

When did you submit your application and when is the tour scheduled for? Lastly, did you put in any card details?

Zahra29:
Yes it did

Do you know the outcome?

Xtension18:
Please has anyone used the further leave to remain route here, I don’t know if i qualify for it. I have spent almost 5 years in the UK.

Go and join Nigerians Living in the UK on X (twitter) and ask for help, someone may be able to offer you assistance.

profemebee:
hi hi, how's everyone feeling?

More questions from me pls (there might be more):

Is this thing about not using bank statement from your bank app/online banking for any UK Home Office application like ILR real?

Must it be the official bank statements ordered by post that usually takes 5-7 work days?

The 28day rule for official documents will run quite close if i wait 5-7 work days before applying (this is due to the period of bank statements which runs to 1st of every month, so i have to wait till 2nd November 2024 before ordering)

If you add 5-7 work days.. then i'm close to the 28day rule for mandatory documents

Has anyone applied for ILR with just downloaded bank statements (bank doesn't stamp)?

During my application and in the periods of making an application, I ALWAYS downloaded from my bank app.

Please where can I register for NIN in the UK. Just need to sort this out so I can prepare to renew the naija passport.

Oemmy:
Please,can someone assist me with list of schools in the UK that accept £3,000 deposit and low tuition fees of about £15 and below for undergraduate courses

Why are you looking for low deposit schools for an undergraduate course.. that's a red flag for you. Don't set yourself up please.

somebody1:
Thank you ma! I think I had already applied before i got to know of this thread.

The reasons shared with you initially is why you can't throw your application again just yet. You have to demonstrate your situation has changed and not dwell on the sponsorship bit. There is a level of expectation the case officer wants to see from you an adult in your own financial standing, which is why you have been told to give it a break for now till things improve otherwise you'd be getting the same result should you reapply soon. Give it another 3 - 6 months.

All will be well.

Hello Everyone,
I recently received offers for the September intake for my MSc in Project Management from both Ravensbourne University and the University of Hertfordshire. Ravensbourne University is located in North Greenwich, SE London, with a tuition fee of £14,500. The initial deposit for CAS issuance is £8,700 (60%), with the balance of £5,800 due in January 2025.
The University of Hertfordshire is in Hatfield, UK, with a tuition fee of £16,500. The initial deposit for CAS issuance is £5,000 (60%), followed by a 65% payment of £7,475 in January, and the final balance of £4,025 due in April 2025.
Really confused of which offer to accept as I'm slightly aware of the high cost of living in London. Please advice on which offer to accept considering cost of living, rent, transport, tuition fee, racism and my likelihood of quickly getting a job as a student in both university and location.
Thank you all in advance

To choose, it'd be best to consider if you have accommodation funds ready and set aside as that would really determine where to get more value. Look online at rightmove.co.uk/property-to-rent.html to get an idea of how much your rent would be. Review this for a couple of months and if you have the money, go with the affordable areas.

Also I'd suggest paying more fees that the minimum amount so that you don't fall victim of weaker naira and exchange rates.

Lastly, whilst London may offer access to jobs, events, professional and social networking, all of these are still achievable from Hatfield where fast train into North London is about 18 mins. Part time jobs and accommodation search can go both ways, either quick or slow, it's all down to your affordability and what you're gunning for. The choice ultimately is yours to make from your own research.

aderemi166:
Please advise, I want to sponsor my Kid to come for a visit during school holiday. I am on a vacation, I came in earlier, will be going back to accompany her once the visa is approved, we intend to return back together.

I have gotten an Invitation letter from a British family, I’m not the one inviting her, I’m just going to accompany her, kindly know that she has been to Uk once.
What’s your advice? Should I go ahead knowing that I am in the Uk at present, for vacation.

How long are you currently planning to stay on your vacation?
If granted, how long would you want your child to stay in the UK on vacation?
Are you employed or self employed?
Why don't you want to stay in Nigeria with your child during the application process? Extend the period of leaving the UK before returning.

D990:
Can someone please tell me how i can raise money for IHS and visa fees.I have a full scholarship but i have been finding it hard to raise the funds to cover the fees.

This is beginning to feel like a regular question where someone claims full ride on scholarship, won't disclose the awarding body and ask how to raise visa fees. People beware.

Kossyfelicia:
thanks for understanding me here. I have filled another form but I have not submitted yet. I plan to submit next month since my travel date is Sept 10th _16th 2024 after my August sales. So I'm looking for another info concerning tax matter since I have Tax certificate for my personal TAX that s why I'm here to ask if I should add The TAX certificate from ( JTB) my sales invoice to customers that has my business name, my picture I snap in the shop to be added in my new application document since I dis not include them in the previous application that's why I'm here to ask some questions. So guide me if is necessary to add the listed document or i should use the document I submitted in my previous application? Thanks

I feel like you're focused on the things that matter to you.

What about your statement of account? How will that be viewed? The transactions, monthly income and expenditure as well as disposable income. Is it very clear to understand without too much explanations. Tax certificate is just one aspect of the application which some ECOs may ignore and others pick up on.

So if you are banking on funds from people, how do you hope to demonstrate it?

Lastly, be patient when filling the form.

Kossyfelicia:
if I'm not ready to learn so why I'm I herr🤷‍♀️🤣. I said I earn 4.5m annual income in my annual I made a mistake by filling 45m because I use naira to fill my form. Secondly where d ECO was emphasising is the 45m I filled not my sponsor matter or home tiles. Read my Refusal again here and see d mistake

It is true you may have made a mistake about the annual income and the ECO capitalised on that and this is also down to the fact that the evidence submitted did not tally.

But on a new application I think the first place to begin with is;
- when do you want to apply?
- How long would that be after the first refusal?
- Will the funds you have indicated appear on your bank statement if the application is going to be within the next 6 months?
- How do you intend to tell the ECO you came about the money in your own words?, Let's pretend to be the ECO for you.
- If you must travel, are you prepared to visit another country so as to show change in circumstance before reapplying to the UK or do you want to give the UK another shot regardless?

justwise:
The problem is not lending you the money or paying back but the problem is that you have been doing this for over a year now , I have seen your previous posts dating back to 2023, you need to sort out your gambling and olosho addiction.

Justwise is back for real.. this response eh 😂😂

TheTechGen:
Have you guys checked out this bill payment platform? www.thecharllottetech.com the most discounted fees in the country. Cheapest Data o. Don't sleep on it.

Please beware. The domain was only registered in December 2023. Money is hard to come by these days, so do your due diligence before you part it through unverified means.

My opinion.

Osoderi:
Sorry visa extension for FLR on Spousa Visa.

Ideally you should use the government website to fill the form after which there are designated points to submit biometrics. You do not have to go to London if it is very far away from you. Please beware of agents

Ephhay:
What school is asking you to pay £2k as deposit? Is that not a trap?

Poster, you can attempt paying with a dollar card by funding the dollar or even pounds dorm account in Nigeria alternatively if you have a "trusted" friend or family, then they may pay on your behalf. These are the options known to me.

Ephhay:
What school is asking you to pay £2k as deposit? Is that not a trap?

It could be part payment but your response isn't even a solution to the person's question. Please make una dey take am easy o.

Adecity20:
Thank you. I will get more info about the waiver.

I meant visa *fee* waiver. If your program is true o then you will get help. As you don't want us to verify the information shared.

Osoderi:
Good morning house. pls I want to assist a sister who lives in Northampton fill out her application for extension. pls is there any agent here in Northamton that she can go for her biometric or would she have to travel to london to do her biometric? someone told me if my phone have NFC capacity that I can use it, no need for my sister going to the centre. how true is this Pls. Pls kindly assist. Thank u

Your question is quite vague. Could you clarify what extension this is for? Visa extension? Or Passport renewal? Let's start from there.

Adecity20:
I understand you but the UK government is training me to do a job for them after I graduate. That's why they are sponsoring me in the first place. The amount covers tuition and living expenses plus 5800 Pounds extra for miscellaneous.

The UK Government has a scheme for visa waivers. If you have the scholarship indeed then you may ask for the option with the program handler.

Also, the UK Government never promises people jobs even for those who have been shortlisted to join the Army. Nothing is ever promised or guaranteed. If you really want help, you need to provide a little information for readers even those silent readers who may independently reach out to you with offers to verify the information otherwise the help you seek may not come from here.
Put yourself in anyone's shoe and see if you would be okay to be asked to reach out to them before they provide you with the information to verify their concerns and get help from you.

All the best.

[quote author=roak post=130268788][/quote]It's a know fact to residents that you can only use your BRP to generate a right to work or right to rent. In the questions asked, you are told to provide the reference on the document and the example in the question is referenced to the BRP. This is why you are advised to get in, pick your BRP and generate the code.
Often times the HR staff in my organisations do not know the immigration process and many times they themselves have to consult for the most up to date information.

In conclusion, if you receive an error code from attempting to use your passport, share that with your company and explain the alternative is to get your BRP when you get in.

killaskillz:
What reason do I give to the immigration lawyers?
I've submitted to them but they are yet to make the application

Just tell them that you have decided to exclude the child from your application on grounds of xyz school health event family anything.

Whatever the immigration lawyers think is the least of your worries. They will not stop your salary, yours is to provide the information they need to make the application and you should be at liberty to make a change when you see fit. Full stop!

killaskillz:
In the form given to me by the immigration lawyers handling the visa application, I filled my niece's details as my first child. Now, I no longer want to go with the process i.e putting her as my first child in my application. Does telling the immigration lawyers to remove it put me at risk of jeopardizing my application seeing that the lawyers work for my employers.

If the application has not been submitted, then you can get it removed without any issues. If you have submitted and have yet to go submit your biometrics, then you can have the application cancelled altogether and start afresh.
If the application has been submitted along with the biometrics, then at this point there would be issues depending on how you go about it.

Justwise is a private person, he never shared his number or email address with anyone (so far as I know).......

Seun Osewa is probably the best person, to ask about his travel mod, that went AWOL.......🤣😁

I asked Seun on Twitter but man never responded.
