TravelRe: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 5 by jochimi: 2:03pm On Jun 18, 2024
@cashmadam yeah, my sister is the one sponsoring actually.
Cashmadam:
Sorry about the refusal. If you are employed, stick to that! Joining self employment to full time employment can cause confusion and I usually don't advise it. I have a side business that gives me a reasonable income but I have never declared it. It just causes more problems - in my opinion.

You can reapply but from what I see, the story might not change because your income from your job is not substantial. I guess that is why you added your business. If our sister has the means, she can sponsor you. If that is doable, I suggest you wait a while before you reapply. You don't need two refusals back to back.

Good luck!
TravelRe: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 5 by jochimi:
Good afternoon everyone. This is my first time posting here. I have an issue. I was refused a UK visit visa and I noticed in the decision letter, there was an error in the figure that was stated as what I earned a year as a self-employed, I also just checked my application and saw I made a mistake too. I was supposed to put NGN but instead used GBP which was a mistake I didn't notice on time. That makes two mistakes, from my end and also from theirs. Please what do I do? I want to reapply but I don't know if this is the best decision. I applied same time with my mum and we've gotten a mail that her uk visa application is ready for collection. I would like to travel with my mum to see my sister hence the reason why I want to reapply.

I used my salary account statement as well as my business account statement. My business is not yet in full operation so I used the account to save money from my salary, so its only inflow that's been recorded in the business account, I don't know if this was an issue.
