Another thing, was just talking to my uncle,about the documents he'll be sending over as he is inviting me. He's saying it can all be scanned copies... Told him it should all be originals....please help clarify. Gracias

Hi everyone...quick question please...do I apply directly via the visa4uk site or the new service link For a standard visitor visa...

Yes print whatsapp chat and yes tenancy agreement is good enough for prove of accommodation

Hello Quick question please... is it okay to print the Whatsapp chats too Plus, is his tenancy agreement enough to prove accommodation or should he be adding other docs??

justwise:
Print those and add it to your application package then concentrate on other refusal points raised by the ECO

Gracias @Justwise... appreciate.

Some emails(he's not big on those)....lots of Whatsapp chats when that came up...phone calls...he never did Facebook at all.

justwise:
How did you keep in contact with him since he left Nigeria? Emails, text, facebook etc?

Thanks for the response...appreciate. How then can I prove we are related??

justwise:
I don't think her marriage certificate will act as proof of relationship. If you are able to explain everything in the place provided in the form then you don't need to add cover letter

Hi @Justwise... Waiting for your response to my question below... Gracias!

juliette123:
Hallo Justwise A lil more clarification please, will my moms marriage certificate do for proof of relationship with my uncle since they are siblings? Do I still need a cover letter if I explain the points raised in my refusal in the space provided for additional info?

k...thanks!

OGreene:
Nah, it's one letter I wrote

Hallo Justwise A lil more clarification please, will my moms marriage certificate do for proof of relationship with my uncle since they are siblings? Do I still need a cover letter if I explain the points raised in my refusal in the space provided for additional info?

justwise:
You don't have to add pictures if you got non.

What certificate is that?

Hi OGreen if I'm using the additional info space + extra paper, do I still need to add a cover letter? Congrats by the way... Found myself following your Visa wait and looking forward to the good news...

OGreene:
It shud contain everything you feel you need to explain, starting wt addressing d last refusal and providing more info supporting ds new application, be very convincing and polite. Don't try to be defensive, mention the strong points you have to back up ds application. Write it like a formal letter. I typed mine sha

I also mentioned my itinerary, how d expenses will go, that I hv booked a hotel in London, and hv gotten my leave from work approved, wch can be seen in d doc I submitted. Anything you say, if u hv a doc for it, put in bracket beside it that dey can refer to so so so document u hv attached. I ended by saying I hv no intention of staying back der or working der, dat am available for an interview either to provide more docs or for more enquiries if they so desire.

This is wot I did, others own might be diff.

Hi @Justwise... My mom's marriage cert... He's her younger brother...

justwise:
You don't have to add pictures if you got non.

Hi @eniayooke...your 'epistle' was very helpful as am a first timer and got a refusal. Yeah...I remember them asking for my direct line manager's name too during the interview. Very helpful... Gracias

Hello All,

Abi Una remember this my matter,

I reapplied on the 23rd of June and got my passport back today with Visa granted.

I basically used the same set of docs i applied with at the initial refusal, Only this time I applied at Ikeja.

And yes , it took longer than normal.

I attended a webcam interview i did not plan for right after i submitted my documents (first timers take note)

Good thing is i was very composed and answered the questions confidently
I was able to remember my aunty's house adress as well as give an account of what i plan to do in the UK.
Interviewer asked me the nature of my job and what exactly i do ( must tally with the Job description you filled online)
I also attached my graduation brochure which shows I just completed Masters in Theatre, When Interviewer asked me if I will visit London as my arrival is Manchester.
I said Yes to Visit the Globe theatre, then we talked about Shakespeare. I smiled and tried to be very courteous.

I also used the additional information to explain the extra monies i recieved,
I attached Church bulletin and yahoo mail conversations as well as my church organogram (Yes i am an extremist)

I wrote a cover letter and adressed the points highlighted by ECO in the refusal, I attached printed copies of online transfers for the monies i recieved that was'nt mine. Then I cut my budget to about 110£ and stated exactly how i will spend it including the places i intend to visit.

Two Things happened while I waited for my Passport.

My dad is a frequent flyer to the UK, he was contacted to confirm if I am his daughter.

My HR Manager called to say the Embassy contacted him aking about the nature of my job and how much I earn.
He also asked the HR Manager who my direct line manager is ( I remember the interviewer asked me to even spell his name)

Then a verification Unit mailed my HR Manager again to confirm my date of birth and how long my contract with the company is.
After he responded I got a mail apologising for the delay in returning my passport.

Please Pardon my epistle, This is just to help whoever may be applying next. Make sure you use the additional info, supporting documents are never too much,Refusals MUST be avoided as long as you are genuine, lol.

Thank you justwise, ekpotek, worry and all who helped me.
God bless you.

Hi @Justwise Sorry about the omission... Her marriage certificate, he's her younger brother...

justwise:
You don't have to add pictures if you got non.

What certificate is that?

Hi Justwise...
What if I don't have any pictures with him?
Plus my uncle mentioned that my mom's cert can suffice... That true??

blessedfavoured:
your uncles payslip
mortgage/tenancy agreement
house valuation or something to state how many rooms in his house
tax certificate
birth certificate for your uncle, parent and yourself
pictures
print out any conversation on social media (not important imo)
any pictures of y'all together doesn't matter if they are old

lightofjoy:
Did they call your uncle?

No....don't think so. He'd definitely have mentioned it to me if they did...

Thanks @ Justwise appreciate. Submitted the invite and copies of his data page and doc indicating status in the uk. You're right... Didn't submit enough considering what you listed out.

You really did not submit enough evidence to support your application, invitation letter alone is not good enough.[/quote]

Hi @Justwise
Used your advice here in applying for my UK general visa but I guess I must've missed some info on details of my hosts documentation so I blamed myself totally for the refusal when I saw the reasons given. I have attached a scanned copy of the letter here...please go through and advice on how to address each point stated. Gracias
P.S....first application. During the interview, answered all questions without reservation...
