Jennytbell this is a straight thing to present. You must have a payslip that shows when you have those allowances. There is also bank statements to prove you earned that much. All you need to the state your income on the form, them state with extra paper you also earn xyz, them you highlight those extra income in your bank statement. So when added up will come with the figure you worth.
Your fixed deposit do not count because is a type of investment. You can't even withdraw on it roundly expect it matures. You should have bank statements that has what you have and available for you to use for your trip example 2 million in your checking account and 2 million in savings. Good figure, but how much of it are you willing to use for your trip. Of course you can't use 80% of it. You have to evaluate your trip know heads up and amount to use.
Good Luck
Ok. Thank you so much

@jennytbell, any type of alteration that is falsify is misrepresentation. You need to state clearly

1. Monthly salary
2. Allowance (quarterly, bimonthly or how you earn them)
3. Any other type of income you earn.
4. Show the total figure. It shows you are worth such figure annually.

Please note profit sharing is not considered as income, it is an investment. You don't need to include those.

If have any other meanfull information or document that can help prove you are a legitimate traveler, take it along.

The whole idea is for you to prove your legitimacy or your credibility. That burden is solely on you.

Good Luck.
Thanks but there is no portion in the form where you can explain that you earn more than your monthly income. Also I have some fund as fund in fixed deposit investment that yield interest on a monthly basis

LadyGuinivere:
What's with all this 'adjust' salary question today. If ur salary is 129k it is 129k. Meanwhile u work in a bank and the salaries are fixed. ET, EA, SEA, ABO, BO etc. It is judicially noted banks pay upfront (for the ones that still do), leave allowy, profit sharing, and 13th mnth. So how do uu intend to 'adjust ' your salary? By fake promoting yourself or adding one of the above allowances to your salary? Or claiming your leave allowance as your salary.
Dnt forget these VOs did not droop from the sky. They are aware of certain trends and work traditions. Even me wen no be vo, if I compare your old form and the recent one will easily deduce you are lying
Plz be guided. U are threading the path of denial and sure ban.
Also plz take note of this rule

9. Don't use Nairaland for illegal acts, e.g scamming, copyright infringment, hacking, gay meetings, and incitement.
Ok ma. I am having any intention to lie and I am only asking if it's allowed. Thank you

You did not go wrong in any way from your answers. I think you should have included all of your allowances to ensure what you make yearly. It is always helpful.

Your U.K trip is a plus for you now even though it is not a ganrantee. Your group trip will not be a bad idea, even though your all trip period is considered bad timing. Febuary is towards the end of winter and the beginning of spring. I don't know if it is a good time for holidaying.

Good Luck.

DearCosybunch, please can I adjust my salary in my next application or I should just leave it at 129k even my leave allowance is higher than what I take home monthly? Thank you

@Jennytell the issues Allen highlighted are true.they interpret such as no home ties.
You have gotten a tad bit of travel history. U could try again...
Ok thank you but don't the VO knows that getting married now is as hard as eaten stone grin. In fact getting husband is harder than lagos traffic these days.lol

On a more serious note does living with my brother that bad because I felt if I am to be living is alone will be seeing as not have a social tie to my home country?
TravelRe: Usa Visit Visa by jennytbell: 3:41pm On Sep 22, 2015
Good day House,

Please I need an input from the house guru. These are my questions and situation.

I am a 27years single lady working with a bank. I applied for US visa in june this year and I was refused. I wanted to go for vacation and I have being working with my present employer for the past 4years and my annual take home pay is 2.5million. Though on my application form I filled 129000 which is what is paid to me on a monthly basis while I received the balance on yearly and quarterly basis.
At my interview the Vo asked me the following question

Vo: what do you do
Me. I work with bank xyz
Vo: what is your job about
Me: I do..........
Vo: how much is your monthly income
Me: 129000 but I received.......on a quarterly basis.(i didn't mention that I receive yearly allowance)
Vo: Are you married
Me: No
Vo: Where are you going in US
Me: To New York
Vo: Do you know anyone dear
Me: I said No
Vo: Have you travel out of Nigeria before
Me: No, Never had the opportunity.
Vo: where do you live
Me: surulere, Lagos
Vo: with who
Me: my brother

Then he next thing he said sorry I can not issue you the Visa.

Please I want to know where I have not responded well and also if there is anything I could have said because I wish to reply later in December as I want to travel with my colleagues in the office as they are planning group tour for next year February and also I just came back from UK this month.

I will appreciate your kind response.

I think you are good to go, but wouldn't be better if you apply for an hotel accommodation? And what is your relationship with maternity lady? Everything depends on luck sha, just that you can never predict the British consulate in their decision making. I wish you good luck.
. If I am to apply using hotel accommodation won't it affect the amount I budget for the trip? Also the maternity lady is a family friend and also must I submit her bank statement?
TravelRe: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 2 by jennytbell: 8:06pm On Jun 13, 2015
Good evening house, trust you all had a nice day.

Please I have some question I want to ask before I apply for my uk visa

1. My host in UK is on maternity leave without pay though she will only be accommodating as I am sponsoring myself for the trip, will this affect my getting the visa?

2. I was denied a visa to UK in December last year because the VO or EO said that some fund came into my account without any adequate information on the source. Is it okay that I reapply this june.

3. I earn 124k monthly plus other quarterly allowances and I budget 750k for my trip. Does it sound right? My total annual package is 2.9million


Please I will appreciate your sincere advice. I don't want to be denied visa again.

girlfio:
@=jennytbell

Your chances of having the decision overturned are really quite slim for a couple of reasons. First off, with a limited appeal, you can only really argue your case if the decision is in breach of your human rights. Secondly the status of your finances appears to require quite a bit of explanation. This is likely to bring up a lot of questions as to the validity of the money sources. With some of the money being used for lending etc, it may not be quite clear exactly what will be available to you during your visit.
dear girlfio, thanks for the response but should i wait another six month to reapply since i dont have changes of getting the decision overtuned though in the adminstrative review i give detail explaination as to the credit that comes into my account or i can reapply immediately.


thank you
TravelRe: UK Spouse Visa/Appeal Process-part2 by jennytbell:
good day Guys,

please i came across this tread when i was trying to know the fat of my adminstrative review i just submitted recently.

this is my case i applied for family visit to uk to spend 2weeks last december to visit my boyfriend brother's wife and her daughter though on the letter of invitation issued to me the purpose of my visitation is to visit my God daughter and this letter was issued to me by the bf brother's wife. i work in one of the bank in the country and as such my pay slip, 6months statment of account, letter of introduction from my employer, tax clearnace certificate, my offer of employment which state my monthly salary and other allowances etc but the ECO made decision NOT to grant me entry into Uk stating in refusal letter that the amount i have in statement of account doesnt not agree with what i earn on a monthly basis not looking at the fact that i also other allowance and this was saved over a period of time also he state that i had some credit in my account which doesnt not tally with what i earn and all of this credits are my money i transferred ealier out of my account for lending purposes to friends and collegues which was mostly via transafers.

though i have request for an adminstartive review stating the sources even all the quterly, monthly allowance made by my employer and the money i lent out via transfers stating the dates and the names and the date where same person paid me back.

please i want to know if there is any chance that my request wil be granted ie the ECO decision will be overturned though it was stated in the refusal letter that i have a limited right of appeal aslo i was meant to understand that when one is refused entry into UK that the passport is usually stamped but my passport wasnt it stamp, IS it okay?


please i will really apprecaite a kind response from you guys

thank you
