Do any of the suggestions

1. Wait till they get back to you . It's possible is then name on the passport they will follow

Or
2. send them a mail about the error. Attach an affidavit and passport BioData to it

Let her just forget about that trip if her business can't ensure she funds it herself.

the visa officer is asking how her funds yearly arrived at that figure as no deposit, nothing from a reputable organisation paying salary to employees on a monthly basis was noticed.



He however noticed several huge deposits with no explanation whatsoever left bare and sticking out like a sore thumb or like coal stuffed in cake.

Thank you but she is not the one sponsoring the trip, the yearly figure was based of monthly profit from her business, and she sells in the market so she handles cash more

Hi everyone. A friend applied for her mum to attend her brother graduation in the Uk for this July but application was refused.

Her mum is a trader tejuosho market, and my friends husband is her sponsor for the trip and supporting documents were included below is the refusal letter, the fault on her part is she failed to include receipts or invoices of her mum business now she wants to reapply, is there any additional info/documentation to support this and what are chances of success if she reapplies immediately.
Please note her business is in thrifts clothing and sales in the market is mostly in cash, so her account is not properly run but she deposits via pos occasionally
Also attached are the documents uploaded also

Please kindly advise on what to do, thank you all

Hi guys, I tried renewing my visa via Dropbox but passport was returned with a slip to schedule a follow up interview 221g, have anyone had similar experience?

Hi guys, pls for the dhl Dropoff can just my husband submit application or do I need to go with him? As application is for both of us

Hi guys, this is the confirmation I got after booking interview waiver but I was wondering is the address not supposed to be dhl Dropoff address?

Zirconia16:
Good day guys.

Pls I need help/information regarding the following.

I just applied for interview waiver and the date I selected is this Thursday 14, September.

I'm really confused as to how to submit my documents and what documents to submit.

I live in port Harcourt and my appointment location is Abuja.

Please, how do I send my documents across and what documents am I supposed to include. I really can't seem to figure it at all. Thanks.

Also how is my document/passport to be returned to me.

Pls pls, I would be appreciating a response. Pls don't read and pass if you have answers or have recently had to send your documents for IW from another state than the one for your appointment.

Thanks and God bless 🙏

After graduation I completed my one year NYSC program in 2013, while still under the NYSC program I applied for a UK visit visa to attend a friends graduation ceremony in Portsmouth, I was refused, in the best of my knowledge this was because I did not present enough evidence to show I was able to finance my trip myself.

Anywhere between 3 and 7 weeks.

Thanks

Hi everyone, please do anyone know how long Dropbox renewal takes?

Please can I select assisted service appointment and still upload documents myself?

Hi guys, All the self service appointments available I’m seeing I’ve to upgrade and I’m not seeing the cost, will more appointment date open up later?

Mekailo:
I think you can still edit the application if you haven't summited and paid.

I have submitted and paid, I just cancelled it

Cashmadam:
It might not be an issue - as any reasonable person might guess that it was an innocent error. However, if it does become an issue, you will blame yourself.I suggest you start another application.

Ok thank you so much

Hi everyone, good evening. Please I need advise, I just finished filling and submitting my husband application and I noticed the part for monthly spend I mistakenly put 800,000gbp instead of 800,000ngn, is this going to be a problem or should I cancel application and start over?

infosoftlife:
I assume you are concerned about yourself and your husband because your kids have dual citizenship.
The reason for traveling to the UK shouldn't just be about the birthday celebration, ensure you include other places of interest in the itinerary.
Even if you register your business, submitting a statement of account that the transactions are unverifiable will also be an issue.
ADVICE:
Since you are planning the trip for July, you can start immediately to remove the red flags by getting your CAC reg done within 5 business days it should be out, and open a business account. Also, let whoever transfers money into your account put a transaction description. (This helps instead of using only a cover letter to declare a transaction without a title).

Since your husband is the director ensure his business has an active status on CAC CRP.

Thank you so much, will do just that

Greetings everyone, pls I need guidance we are a family of 5 planning a trip for July.

I want to apply for a visit visa for my husband and myself to attend his sister 40th birthday in July, my kids have Usa passport.

she will be accommodating us as she has a 7 bedroom home (will this be a problem or should I just book an apartment online) she will also give us an invitation letter.

my husband has cac and tax and all that he is the sponsor but I have an online business it’s not registered but I’ve actively making sales over 4 years, will including my own account statements be an issue as I’ve no cac or tax to back it.

Kindly advice, thanks in anticipation.

Debbieeeeeee:
I arrived on Saturday and saw a few people getting visa on arrival in the designated cubicle, please ask any immigration contact you have just to be double sure
