All the Gurus in the house. This one i need a quick response .
As copied on whatsapp

This aspect.

How much money are you personally planning to spend on your visit to the UK?


In a situation where the applicant is being sponsored, is it the sponsorship amount that the applicant is receiving that will be filled there OR

the amount the applicant is spending. Clarity is needed

In addition, which category do you belong if you are attending a conference in the UK?

What is the main reason for your visit to the UK?
(Required)

Tourism (including visiting family and friends)

Business (including sports and entertainment)




Congratulations to all our Muslim brothers and Sisters here.
Happy Eid al fitr

Mine was a study visa nd it took 5months plus, eventually came out with an error. I returned it through vfs Lagos, weeks passed by and no response, had to follow up directly with d embassy only to discover they didn't submit my passport. If u resides in the south or West nd u want swift response nd u have money to spend, I'll suggest you submit to vfs abuja, they deliver documents to the embassy every day, that I witnessed.
This is a very important issue you raised here. Abuja seem to be alive.

It's okay things have changed then.

But do you know board of trustees are different from shareholders?
Well. I like the question you asked, and i am always willing to create channels for learning.

Trustees, shareholders. According to the corporate and allied matters act ,with regards to company registrations in Nigeria; every business entity has classifications.
Now i spoke about classifications i.e category.
Majorly, we have i. business name (code name, b/n), ii. Limited company (ltd,plc) iii. Incorporated trustees ( code name , i.t under which we have clubs, ngo, associations e.t.c) and the rest of them.

Now for the benefit of this discourse, the three major ones in Nigeria are listed above.

The business names are majorly enterprises, sole proprietorship, ventures, owned and operated by one man) commonly referred to as a one man business. You refer to the participants in this category as directors, because of limitations to shares

For limited liability company, you refer to them as shareholders because it is a more broad company and may likely involve 2- 7 partners(before 2020 cama) as of today, single owners of enterprises can upgrade to limited as ammended.


For incorporated trustees, you use or refer to them as trustees. I already highlighted the participants in this category.

I think it is better when we have these informations, then we can be properly guided.

Thank you.

Hi,

You mean; one person can (own) a Limited Liability Company!!!

How is it outdated?

Was the company registration done Yesterday, Today or it will be done Tomorrow?

In a standard company there should be a board resolution, let not always thwart people's opinion.

Regards,
Mr Joseph.

I did my first cac registration in 2014. [ent]

I did the recent one which is a ltd company in 2021.

Since CAMA 2020. ONE PERSON CAN OWN A COMPANY.

That is the way it is now. (ng)

TravelRe: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 5 by hunee:
Some elements of faxx. It happens like that tho in very rare cases
leef2022:
I have had 3 refusals in the past for the UK, US, and Sweden. I can confidently tell you in all three occasions my intentions, interests and documents were not sync and the refusals were spot on.
However, I have gone on to hold short-term and long-term visas for the above stated states/countries and all I needed to do was get and submit the right documents with genuine interests, not to mention a dual citizen with another state not mentioned.

Whilst, errors exist with some decisions, I kid you not the ratio is minimal as compared to right decisions made.
Above all, it is resillence that makes people continue to push until they break even. Like the cases i have seen here, having 3/4 refusals is not a joke. This incidences can really bring the applicant to a state of total frustration.

That is why i spoke about divinity in all of this. Some people get it once on first trial, some have to go 4/5 times before they get it.

The message is for all, Do not give up. There is light at the end of the tunnel.

Thanks again for the engagement. You are gradually turning a new "leaf" grin .

I am delighted to engage you more wink

cordialement.

Leef, leave me abeg. Wetin na? You no dey see refusal letter everywhere. Make God help us abeg, wahala don too much untop this visa huhthing
leef2022:
No it is not, pls stop paddling such narrative.

1. It will discourage/deter persons with genuine interests and documents not to apply if they feel they have no luck.

2. It will encourage persons with no documents or genuine interest to apply if they feel they have the "luck"
To some extent, i agree with you. However, intending applicants should prepare their minds for anything. Visa is now by luck. Tho, document too aids, but the end, Na God hand you dey o

The narrative is usually different, if you have not gotten like two refusals back to back. grin Go to US thread. When it keeps coming, UKVI ecos are the best!

We KNOW better.

Update on my visa renewal application 2yrs tourist visa.

Submitted application online on April 6, 2023.

Transferred to DMC same day

Received by DMC on April 11, 2023. (Due to the holidays)

Transferred to VAC April 18, 2023

Passport picked up today April 19, 2023.

It literally took like 5 working days.

Initial successful visa application was 6 months which I did last year even-though I had two previous refusals in 2016 and 2021 (I always declare them).

In filling this form, just as a lot of people have advised, I basically used most of the information on my last form and edited the few part that needed to be updated.

Thanks to the house!!
Congratulations.

Was it the same form you edited. Was it done on the UKVI portal. Or you mean you edited on paper and inputed.

Give details.

Congratulations Geolan.

Please friends, I'm still confused why people are going to SA in thousands, isn't the same country I heard that their unemployment and racism is at top gear?

One of my family friends who's a Post doctorate fellow in SA told me he got a Bulsary for me over there (Research Msc) and that I should hurry and grab it and come over there , that I won't regret it (he wasn't explicit though) but I'm still having double mind whether to go or not cos at present I'm managing a job of 80k,had it been is an European countries, I won't even think twice. Please is SA better than Nigeria in any form? Thanks for your genuine reply.

First of all, take your time to read what I wrote. Kindly note that REVIEW and APPEAL are two different things.

1. Appeals have always been sent to Nantes from day one. And it is totally a waste of time as up to 95% of appellants are not contacted back.

2. Reviews, if convincing, are attended to. As recent as February 2023, my staff's application was upturned after sending a review request to the emails first stated above. So I do not know what response you got to your inquiry.

3. Assuming the gentleman follows through with the appeal process; these should be taken into consideration. (a) Appeal takes as much as 6 months to be adjudicated. (b) The purpose of his trip is to attend a seminar which is scheduled for a particular date and cannot be rescheduled for his sake. If during the appeal process, the date for the seminar has passed, what would be the justification for granting him the visa?
Kel.

Let stop confusing ourselves with plenty grammar. We are all learned.

What is review , what is appeal?
To review, to re consider.
To appeal, to plead to change an initial decision.


We are speaking same English.

I had to consult the dictionary, we have too many brilliant people here grin

Appeal
In law, an appeal is the[b] process in which cases are reviewed [/b]by a higher authority, where parties request a formal change to an official decision. Appeals function both as a process for error correction as well as a process of clarifying and interpreting law. [Wikipedia]

To cut the long story short, the exact mail for which your staff got the change in decision( I believe he or she must have been notified viz -viz mail),Could you be nice to give it to the concerned person privately?

Your contributions are highly valued.

Gracias.

For benefit of persons with refusal letters, if we have some of you in France. Kindly assist these persons with genuine contacts of immigration lawyers in France.

These exchanges go on alot on the UK/Us visa section. We should have more of you over in Europe willing to assist persons with these contacts, it can go a long way to fast track or initiate their refusal process, notwithstanding the perceived thoughts on appeals.

Refusals are usually very painful. I understand your circumstances. Everything that is done as regards visas is mostly luck.



No one here is superficial or 100% guareented of visas.
If you read above and previous, you will find out that it is not about documents and monies in your account nor cash inflows. Those who got visas in my opinion were just fortunate.

I have seen people with little or no idea on applying for visas get visas on first instance.

I am not convinced uptill this point that visa success is as a result of the documents you submitted. However, if you choose to re apply , send mails as advised by Kel or parcel your appeal in hard copies, Go ahead.

You decide.
I wish you luck.

Africankel:
Going on tour before, during or after the seminar is not a problem. However, including it in your itinerary is seen as a distraction.

Send a convincing email (for review of your application) to the issuing authority, let them know how important this seminar is for you and your business and what you stand to gain and lose. Also convince them why you'd return after the seminar.

Appealing will take a very long process.
You may appeal against the decision to refuse a visa to the Deputy Director of visa, BP 83609, 44036 Nantes cedex 1, within thirty days from the date of the present notification. Filing an appeal before the Deputy Director of visas is a mandatory pre-condition to appeal against the decision.

France no longer acknowledges appeals by emails. Please be duly notified.

If you are in doubts, you can clear by sending mails to the attached addresses you posted.

2. If the course is to be completed within 6months or less, then a standard visa is what the person will have to apply for. If more than 6months or 11 months course or study period then the applicant need to apply for student visa
