Good day seniors, please I need your advice. I got phd admission at northumbria uni Newcastle as a self sponsored student but later the uni I work with here in naija approved my study fellowship with tetfund scholarship. Now my dilemma is that when applying for visa do I state that I am govt or self sponsored? Considering that northumbria uni informed me that they no longer enter sponsorship agreements with Nigerian govt. They however asked me to pay my deposit (which I did) as it will be refunded to me after tetfund pays my fees. They have already issued my cas (it states that I am self sponsored).

P.s
There is a tuition fee discount of 3k for self sponsored students. Which of the fees should I put in my visa application?

I applied to a Uni in UK, a copy of my previous visa refusal was request. I no longer have a copy of my previous Uk refusal letter. please how do i go about get it from the UK embassy

Oskyworld:
I've submitted my application form.
Self service and I'll be uploading docs myself.
I have few concern after following up on what Jusywise and giselle237 posted about ban and refusal once with highest possibility of being refused again.

1. I was once refused a visa Nov last yr, on fin. bases of spending 5x DI on a short trip (450k for 2weeks) and I was advised here to reduce my proposed spending and also reduce my ME from 100k to 50k so that DI wont b more than 2x and I've done that in my appl and also reduced my proposed spending in UK to 280k with explanation. The question here is, hope they won't ban me for stating that I usually spend 100k monthly but reduced to 50k now?

2. I own a house and I get rent yearly and I've stated this in my application, now 2 of my tenants are paying 300k each this week and I'll be printing my bank statement this week. Hope this won't raise a red flag?

Thanks

Hello guys, please how can I book free hotel reservation in London?

oluwaseunsniper:
Ok.

So a few points here. I do understand it’s the nature of most Nigerians to prey on vulnerable people, and that’s fine but it would be foolish to assume everyone is like that and then turn down help when you clearly need one or someone is offering.

Two, it is almost impossible to have experienced every single scenario when it comes to immigration. My point is, you can’t know it all! You can only advice from your perspective and experience. In such cases, when someone brings a fresh idea or an opinion, don’t be quick to shove it off because you don’t know about it! In that way, you will never ever learn or be better!

Three, it’s not everything we can discuss in public. People have genuine reasons to be anonymous...it could be that there’s a clash of internet here..

@justwise please can i get your whatsapp number

Chijiuba:
Please Should I give the explanation of my not remembering the reason for refusal in my cover letter or on the section in the form where it says I should state the reason for rejection.

Chijiuba:
Ok. Thank you. But please I have another issue and I really need an advice on what to do. Like I stated earlier I was refused Visa in 2012, and I have searched for the refusal letter, but I cannot see it. In the visa form, there is a question on if I have been refused visa before which I answered yes but the reason is what I dont have anymore please what do i do?

Hello everyone,

Please a quick one, I have been saving some amount every month from my salary for my trip to the UK. This amount varies according to bonus, 13th month, etc. so I do not have a certain amount I save.

The thing is that I save it into another account that I do not transact on and it is strictly inflows for my savings. Do you think using that account will fly? because I do not have any outflows just inflows from my salary account. In the transfer description, I always put 'Savings for summer trip' and I plan to use it alongside the main account I transfer from.

Also the amount in my savings now is higher than what I have in my main account or my monthly salary, but I've been saving for a long time for this trip. I most likely will not use all the funds there, i would probably use about 600k - 650k and my monthly salary is about 250k.

Please what do you think?

feelgoodstuffs:
I make btw 15- 20k daily, roughly 420- 450k monthly, it depends on how customer come and my Monthly Expenses is btw 70 - 80k, Married with a 2years daughter 350k Disposable Income.

feelgoodstuffs:
I don't pay myself salary, how do I explain my personal income and expenditure?

fakmurphy:
@justwise, please finish my case.

1. Are you suggesting that your employees does not pay tax?[i] We only pay the FIRS Annual tax return, nothing is payed on behalf of the employees. Are you saying we must apply for a taxpayer I'd for them? How many months tax should we pay on their behalf?

Do we also need to give them payslips?

Hello Gurus in the house. Im a student in the UK. My dad and mum wants to come over to visit me for a week. My dad works with the government and earns 400k a month. He has other investments like private business which he gets income from as well. My mum is into a large scale business which is registered. However, not to complicate issues since they have been denied once, i want my dad to be the sponsor. He does not really run his salary account apart from receiving salary and spending it. So it has a low balance. He has another account where he receives money from his other investments, which he runs and with enough money in it. Can he send money enough for their travel from this other account into his salary account and explain to the ECO he transffered it from his savings account into his salary account for the purpose of their travel?
Secondly, myself and my husband plan to book an hotel for them and cater for their feeding, can this be deducted from their expenses when filling the application? Thank you

feelgoodstuffs:
Hello Justwise, giselle237 and all the gurus in the house, I have read the part4 from page 1 up to date and I must confess you guys are trying with all the wealth of knowledge and information you're dishing out everyday, may God continue to bless you.

My question is I am self-employed and my kinda job is I offer service to people that doesnt require receipts and invoices but my business is registered and I have a business account, so how can I proof everyday transactions since I collect cash from customers and pay cash also to the bank.

Pls I need your opinions.

Celomomo:
Hello all,

Fwaz:
Morning guys!!
Need an advice please
I'm going for an Msc in uk on Tetfund sponsorship, I went for standard visa and I submitted my school award letter in place of bank statements which I believe is ok.. Did my biometric/interview on 17/12/2019 and I got the not straight forward message from Sheffield on 9/01/2020.
I placed a call on ukvi yesterday and I was told decision has not been taken and they will escalate it.
My induction just ended this week and lectures will commence this coming Monday that's 20th..

My latest date is 02/02/2020

My question is
Do ukvi contact TetFund for verification because I don't know why the whole thing is taking much time?
I gat friends from my school on the same Tetfund award and their Visa has been approved though only mine was send to Sheffield because I received both the "application transferred to Sheffield for decision making and not straight forward message" and non of them did.

Please help a frustrated soul☹️☹️☹️I'm tensed

What are the requirements for spouse Visa please.
Do they require any documents from the wife in Nigeria to be send to husband in UK for processing.

opomulero:
i have a suggestion,


i think we should download the application for and teach ourselves how to fill it and the type of documents to support each lines we fill.

i can see that alot of people not on this forum do shot themselves on there legs with what they fill and there doxuments presented.

an agent told one of my guy that he should be running his acount which is good and he adviced him to be lodging big and withdrawing big so as to convince the eco that he is a business man with no evidence of using dt big withdrawal for good bought (receipt or lpo)....i told him you might fumble by doing this, he never heeded to my advice and the agent even follow him up to the entrance in november, he got his passport back this morning, what was inside was nothing to write home about cos i am seeing something like MISREPRESENTATION BLA BLA BLA BLA....im afraid id they havent ban him.

so im of the opinion if we can bring up the application form and teach ourselves how to fill it correctly and the docs too.

Hello gurus!
Please my visa was refused with the petty reason that my bank Fidelity Bank was unable to be contacted to ascertain that the funds were there for the 28 days duration.
However I was given 28 days to use Administrative review to prove that it was an error case scenario.
Please has anyone experience or encounter this before??.
I don’t know how best to go about this review. Is it contacting the bank or asking UKVI to provide the evidence of the number they called or something else Quite confused. Meanwhile the extension my school gave me ends on 25th of January.
Will be waiting for urgent answers pleeeeaaaseee.
