If it's not possible for one to get free appointment date, then these people are out to milk applicants dry. Even after paying visa fee, it's really a sad situation.

Their aim is to generate revenue for their Government, just like the US generate billions of Naira for the US.
It's normal.....

Hello All,
And the refusal letters follows after all the recommendations as shown below. Clearly many things were not put into consideration before reaching this decision.

1. Two bank statements were submitted for the application( One salary and personal account) with about 400K and 1.2M respectively why no reference was made to the other well funded account i don't know before reaching this decision.
2. A cover letter was also provided detailing all these information which certainly wasn't used
3. Documents regarding all the large deposits was explained in the cover letter and photocopies of all the treasury bills liquidated attached.

Is there a way of appealing this case as i feel the refusal is quite unjust?

Would i be thinking of applying for a trip and exhausting all i have saved just for a 7days trip?

Were the diligent enough not to have seen or noticed all the several other supporting documents i provided with this application?

Kindly share a comprehensive photo of the refusal.
We can't see your estimated expenditure you gave for the trip.

Orjforlife:
Thank you @Ozymes,

I work and earn 192k as net income. I save very well monthly from my salary as i am single and still stay with my parents. the 1.1M is money i saved overtime...every kobo in my savings account can be traced back to my salary acct

If you make 192k monthly. It's fine.
It depends on your trip expenses...
If you estimated expenditure is almost twice of this your monthly salary , then you may not be granted.

mitch2002:


I have not booked any appointment yet. I only filled the forms and submitted. I need to know how to upload my documents and how to book appointment. because i'm seeing so many fees i don't understand

To avoid any issue.
Kindly go to their centre.

GOOD DAY @justwise,
please how can i ammend this people? pleasw kindly help me. i just got it today. i wish toreapply again. or can i just let my boyfriend come to Nigeria?

.
This was not packaged well Ma'am.
You can't apply again. You gave them so much reason to refuse you.
Don't you read the post here often.
Your financial grounds are not strong enough.
Sorry but you need to let him come to Nigeria that's the only way you could go about it.
Salaries below 200,000 is not good for the UK.
Sorry for the outcome.
All the best.

Hello guys. In October, was refused a visit visa. But I was not satisfied by the decision as I felt I had a strong application and that the officer did not coheck all 50 documents I provided. I planned to reapply this month.

Although I had no rights of appeal, i did send them a complaint detailing how I believe my application was not properly checked.
At first, they replied to me that they were not the correct channel for complaints.
I didn't have their time since and about 15 days later, which is today, I mailed them again demanding for an explanation / review of the presiding officer's judgement on my visa.

7 hours later, they mailed me that ''my visa decision has been overturned and that I should submit my passport for the new decision ''Please note that your visa decision has been overturned.

Please submit your passport to the Visa Application Centre with a copy of this e-mail.

Once we have confirmation that the passports have been received, we will send out a new decision to be endorsed on your passport.''

Has anyone ever experienced an overturn of refusal decision? Does that mean my visa will now be granted?

I am going to submit my passport tomorrow to them.
Thanks

Yes, always Visa decisions are overturned.
I don't know of Visit Visa, but work visa, religious visa can be overturned.
Yes, just submit your passport and they will issue you the Visa.

salsuz:
Good afternoon @justwise,
please can i use UK visa to visit Ireland?

No.
Ireland has their own Immigration system.
But if you have a UK Visa, it's a stone throw to Ireland.

[quote author=Ikenna072 post=83926034]Good Morning Gurus in the House.

Please I want to know if I can visit any schengen country during my 2weeks stay in UK?[/quote

No.
You just need to apply for a Schengen Visa and if approved you can visit.]

salsuz:
Hello @justwise,
Sorry for the inconvenience, please what time does TLS open for collection?
Because i am planning to go collect my decision nextweek.

Thank you.

Collection of Passport is from 10AM.
Go with your papers.
They would Grant you access.

salsuz:
its scary! i am so tensed!

but i will surely come back here to drop my result.

.

What are you scared of??
UK doesn't feed you or cloth you lmao.
You got a life.
It's time you prepare your mind for the good and not so good. That would help you prepare for any news. And remember, Embassy can deny a Governor Visa, it doesn't matter.
Just hope for the best.

Ikenna072:
Thanks a million times. I really appreciate.
If I come back to Nigeria after two weeks, can I still travel again like after spending a week or thereabout in Nigeria?
If Yes, can I stay a month or two this time?

No No No.
You can't spend a week and go back.
Your Visa will be revoked at the Border .
You need to come here and lay your foundation with her and go home, she should be the one to do the work and come over to you in Nigeria.
If she comes then all is done.
Sadly, you can't be allowed to enter the UK that way after 1 week. Just visit and do your best.

demmysoft:
Thanks bro,
The ban was due to minor error, I used my friend mother's account with my account that I was working under her as one of sales rep, and she was aware and informed. Unfortunately, the embassy called her and told the embassy she was busy that she will call back. Meanwhile, the woman was an illiterate. she later called me that somebody called her from embassy and asked after me, but said she will call back because she was busy attending to customers. we later called the embassy but refused to pick the call.

That was then 10 years ago, but now my status has change seriously, I have been to schegen countries like 4 times now. Infact, I just came back from Belgium on business trip and I would love to visit UK, I used and always use legal and real information if not for just that error.


Why are you in haste to apply again ?
Now, there are terms and conditions.
The only way you can be granted Visa in when you show a good case.
You might assume, that the Embassy would assume that your current application may contain not so true profile and they will investigate every info you send to them.
All documents and information you use should be legal and real.
If you know you don't qualify due to your status, don't apply.
That been said, you don't need a special way to address the letter, when filling your form, you would be ask to say anything or add something about you that you like them to know.
You should have by now passed a portal were you click that you have been banned before from the UK and then you explain why.

Explain to them, though they already know why as is in your system.
All the best.

You are cleared to apply again.
That's not a good reason for a ban either from the UK Embassy.
Nevertheless, apply and use all details available, if that's the reason then your Visa is no issue for I'm at lost as for a why that would be a reason for a 10 years ban.
I'm not quite satisfied that is the reason for a Ban as highlight in the UK immigration , misleading personal information or documents must have been observed, but as it may, if that be the reason then there is no worries.
All the Best.

demmysoft:
Hello house, l need your help.
My 10years ban just expired last week and l need to reapply asap, kindly advise on the way out. Do l need to send a letter or email to the embassy prior to the application submission. or l just need to write it in the cover letter of the application?

Can someone help me on the format or sample of the letter ?

Thank you in advance

Ikenna072:
Last question please. I wrote that that I'll be staying for 14 days... But I might over stay cos I want to convince her to follow me to Nigeria.

Will it affect my application for spouse visa?

.

If you want to have a good travel record in Life.
Just come and do your 14 days and go back Home. Your 14 days is enough to convince her to come to Africa.
Don't go and try to do moves bro.
You might not be able to enter Europe if you over stay this visa and you get caught.
2 weeks is a long time bro. You sleep together and eat together, you should do all you can to convince her. Your actions should speak. Be more ready to know what to do to increase the relationship not staying over.
If you go back to Nigeria, your chances of coming back again on 2 years Visa is sure.

All the best

Obehi44:
wait oh, what is going on with CIC or IRCC?
i am reading some people said they have got BVL since over two weeks without further update ?
and someone getting BVL before medical or approval before medical request.

please which is the clear gist abeg?

Do you all know that the US Embassy has reduced their Visa issuing to Old Parents and Business Visitors and thereby increased the Application going to Canada.
Canadian Embassy are dealing with tons of application and sometimes as humans they too get tired. You have to be patient while waiting, and do all you can to give the best appeal in your Visa application, because thousands of those are currently been reviewed too.

Please this has to do stop

Ok Sir.

I paid online and was captured on the 23rd October and I collected it 1st Nov it was even ready before then. Ikoyi office, 26k..

It favored you.
That's Ikoyi not other states.

Kodia007:
Kudos to all the members, you guys are eyes opener on traveling issue, may God bless you, a friend of mine want to apply for Ukvisa, but he was given visa 2007 but point of entry he was denied to enter based on false information,so he wanted to apply now, can he mention he was denied entry or it has been cancelled bcoz more than 10years now

.

Yes, he has to come clean.
His information is still clear with them.
But after 10 years, he can apply now and use right information, he should be ready to display genuine information
He should be considered then.

opomulero:
Kindly assist

Let her apply alone.

She should include in her cover letter that her husband already has Visa but due to her not been available for the trip, he didn't go.
Let him give a copy of his bio page and visa and attach it.
His wife should carry all relevant documents to show she has ties with Nigeria , like current job and people who depend on her.

She would most likely be given. 98%.

Kodia007:
Am sincerely appreciate your efforts on this platform, u guys are great helping others to solve there visa's obstacle, kindly help me for this, am applying for tourist UK visa, but am self employed without company registered but the biz am going involve big cash,only my 6months running account is very much big. I have persona tax clearance. Plss help me out.

...

Please let me make you aware of this.
Big credit in your account does not move the VO.
What you should note is that, every money in your account should be fixed. The VO do not want to see inconsistent crediting .
All the "big money" like you said should come with a deposit receipt if available or a written reference letter from the bank.
Now, take note: your total expenditure in the UK should not exceed a monthly income.
That's it.
If you total trip exceed your monthly salary or almost two times your monthly intake, then it won't be greeted well. That's a trick you should know.

lasisig5:
Sorry No agent will give you those access codes. I hope you reviewed the submitted documents?

Thanks for your respond and Yes I reviewed all the documents myself including the SOP and more.

Then hope for the Best.

Vicas2000:



I have stated in my invitation letter that my mum lives at home with my dad. Should I also state that my brother lives with them?

In that invitation letter, I also stated that I am financially responsible for my brother.

Can you advise if I should state that the 50k + 50k i send to both my dad and mum is to financially support my mum, dad and my brother? Or should it state that its for my mum and dad only?

Kindly advise please as this is the last bit of this application before I submit it. Thanks.

What's your monthly income?
What's your expenses monthly?

lasisig5:
Good evening everyone and happy new month, I pray God will grant us our heart desire, please i want to ask if there’s a way I can track my application with application number, though my dad contact an agent to help me with my application, the only thing I know if biometric request letter that was 10th of October since then I didn’t know anything again, I asked him to give me the email and password for my account but he said no, he just told me they’re doing background checking. I’m kind of worried, I want to the status of my application please help.

Sorry No agent will give you those access codes. I hope you reviewed the submitted documents?

librangyps:
Hello house,
What do you guys think about just showing full one year tuition and 10,000 dols equivalent in your account?

Cos I'm worried about doing wahala to get tuition refund incase of refusal...let's be realistic

Plus my school gave me admission letter against fall 2020 without requiring any deposit or whatsoever until September.

I have also written their cashier office to know their refund policy.

I just think we should take precaution and not lose out on both sides.

Study Permit are not issued based on payment of school fees.
The least you should do, is paying school fees and hoping you are issued.
If you want to be granted , you will with your documents not paying of tuition fees.

pajabs:
@justwise and other expert in the house. Please kindly go through this my refusal letter and clarify the reason for the refusal because I don’t just understand. And no right ofappeal.

.


My brother, One Love.
But let me correct you with love and also with the truth.
Your application was shaft to the VO.
In the first paragraph, they VO noted that your application didn't even carry information that would able them know if you cleared for entry.
Secondly brother, the financial situation you used is slim, very slim.
Now UK has a way of reviewing your financial records and they did it here again.
Please to everyone reading this, if your total expenses for the Visit trip is more than or almost 2 times of your monthly salary, consider that application refuse except you show you have legit other means of income. If you receive 200k every month and you spend 100k for expenses. How much remains? That's 100k. 100k times 12 is 1.2M. how do you makes 1.2M in a year and spend almost 500k on a visit trip??
Please if you making an application and you don't understand the financial situation, ask someone. That's the problem alot of us had. The Embassy knows how it works, if you don't meet up. You are refuse.

I'm sorry to hear that bro.
All the best

chucs:
Goodmorning everyone. Please pardon me if my question may seem like i'm drawing anyone backwards. It is as a result of how urgent I needed the information.

Please I want to know if a family friend can sponsor me for a Canadian study program? He lives in Uk and he is a citizen.

I also want to know if he can sponsor two persons at ones.
I will really be glad to get a favourable reply.

Yes, but you have to demonstrate he will and he can. The distance in relationship is far. You could provide pictures of you all together, conversation you had together. This might help. But if not proven he will and can sponsor you. Not a good one.

[quote author=kaze4blues post=83661932]I am trying to apply for an undergraduate program in Canada.

However, I am confused on which course to select. I have a science background here in Nigeria.

Someone advised I opt for engineering courses including electrical or systems engineering.

I am personally looking at computer/IT related courses.

I have also heard about medical disciplines like nursing and how it is easy to get jobs.

Please I need inputs from experienced people in here.

I would advise you go for Nursing.
It's all 100

Coolkhat:

Please if you filled to pick up your passport yourself during biometrics, will they still send dispatched mail or i should go there and pick it up myself after the concluded mail?

Are you tracking your application online?
Then when it's ready for pickup, you would be notified, then you can go pick it up.

ozymes:
That is a fallacy of hasty generalization.

That's part of Monthly expenses.
I believe the money is used for the Home.
That should be categorised as Monthly Expenditure.
