your application is now with UKVI for a decision.
that's what Im seeing on my TLS profile, even though I submitted on Monday 27/ July/2015 without interview.
I am a first timer. with a virgin passport. I'm going for tourist this holiday and my fiance is my sponsor..
yesterday, Wednesday 29/ July 2015 they called my fiance to ask him if he was the one sponsoring me and he said yes. and they have also called his bank yesterday too to confirm.
he has a closing baknce of like 7. something million
he is an assistant chief geologist with ministry of commerce and industry.
I don't know the processing time for virgin passports

Good day all,
I finally applied o, and got refusal 2day. Explained all sources of funds for my husband and I and still got a refusal based on financial reasons. That I have limited funds in my account, I added my salary account and my savings account, however, it is only the amount in my salary account that was mentioned, they didn't mention it's as if they didn't see my savings account, we also wrote a cover letter to explain all the funds in my husband's account, adding evidence of all the money, and ironically, we were refused because, they didn't see explanation of the money and that's the only reason.
Please what else can I do, I dunno if we should reapply, don't know if we would have chances of getting the Visa

OGreene:
Iblaw, pls how did you know you got it wrong before? The ques of "how much do you have for this trip". I hv seen 2 diff answers given by ppl. I really need to know wch it is.
How sure are you that it means the amt the flight, hotel and living expenses wud cost?

So I went to submit my application for the 2nd time today. Applied last month n got a refusal. 1st timers error.

Anyways, after the biometric, No interview. Unfortunately, the tls site refused to open so couldn't pay for courier service, they said the site was under repair or something. Though they assured me they'll send me a mail this time around on when exactly to come for pick up.

I also wrote a letter iro of the refusal letter.. Clearing all the doubts and concerns raised as basis for refusal.

Let's see how it goes again, Cos the initial refusal was baseless.


Less I forget, I got alot of useful ideas reading this thread. I didnt need to ask any question cos all had been addressed already. So thanks to all the contributors, esp justwise

Hi Justwise and other gurus in the house,

I appreciate your good works here. I have been a guest for some time now, so I have decided to register and ask my own question as it were.

I intend visiting my cousin in the UK for the first time(no travel history), he works with the British Army(still serving). He wants to send me Letter of invite, with other required documents and he'll be taking care of my accommodation, and feeding.

- I will be responsible for my Flight Ticket and Shopping ONLY.

- I have a current account which also serve as my salary account with a Balance of 700k (No lump Sum).

- My monthly take home is 65,000

What chances do I have in getting a Visa?

Thank you

Hello all, today is the 7th working day from submission date at Ikeja VAC. Is it not taking long?

Hello good people. I just found out about this thread. You suggestions would be highly appreciated.
I applied for a student visitor visa in February and was denied. Reasons: I only included my savings account and not my salary account which shows my monthly salary of 250k.
Due to lack of experience I also got the "How much do you have for this trip?" question wrong... I mentioned all I had in my account...was confused
I booked for a hotel for 1 week
I included my payslips for 6 months with the savings account(970k balance).
All other documents were included.
I am married and my monthly take home is 240k excluding project bonus which varies. The course I'm going for is just 1 week and I stated this in my application. I was able to defer the training programme to October and I want to reapply for the visa. Kindly advice on what I should do differently this time.

CuteAngel:
Thanks @Askari01 I will sure do as advised. God bless

Avoid any form of lodgements pls, Liquidating your treasury bill will look like you were trying to boost the account ..... Dont give the ECO any chance to hold anything against you.... If its gonna take you 6Months to run you account properly , Kindly take your time. only if you want to donate Money to the BHC.

Morning ple, pls is there anyone who has used Victoria island submission centre? Hoq long does it take. I heard applications are treated in the UK

tope777:
Do you attend any interview??

BABAOYIN:
Did you upload scan copy of your documents as well ? or you only fill form online only then submit your hard-copy at the embassy ?

Also did you pay any additional charges (Like the one of 18k they use to mention here) at the embassy ?

I will appreciate the response...

Thanks

Hello House, my friend's visa was denied yesterday (we are supposed to travel together thus my concern). Their reason was that she has 5 dependents hence, she cannot afford the trip/vacation on her salary. They also stated that she is not entitled to AR or appeal.

The problem is that she is single without any kids and she did not state in her application that she has any dependents. I suspect that the VO used someone's information for her, as i really can not phantom how they arrived at this conclusion that she has 5 dependents .

She is about to talk to an immigration lawyer who she says can help (i'm pessimistic) . But, can anything really be done? I mean they stated that she is not entitled to AR or appeal. Can she make a case based on the fact that the information attributed to her/rationale for the denial is false/flawed.

Uncle Justwise, Oga Ralph, Prof.Worry and our able contributors......your thoughts will be highly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi Guys,

I must say a BIG THANK U to everyone including @vicjustice and @justwise.

I've picked up my passport with 2yrs visa on it. I applied on 24th April, got the final response from Teleperformance on 5th May that it is ready for collection at their centre.

Cheers!
