This might help you as contained in my visa decision letter

"Your passport/travel document contains a vignette (visa sticker), which you will use to travel to the UK. The vignette is valid for 30 days. If you do not arrive in the UK within this 30 day period you will need to apply for a vignette transfer, the fee for which can be found at www.gov.uk/visa-fees.''

Wish you good luck!

My visa was issued on the 9th of December 2019 and it was valid until 8th of January. I misread it

Contact the embassy immediately to complain. You will be called to resubmit your passport.

Your course is not a short program right?

afriman123:
Guys I need help. My programme starts on the 21st and I was to travel yesterday but I got to the airport and they noticed my student visa expired on the 8th of January!!! I had to idea. What’s the way forward. I’m shocked right now. I don’t know what to do. Please help

When was the visa issued to you?

Bourne007:
It shouldn't really matter foreign or local.

I 've used UK bank statements and there was no issue whatsoever.

The UK student visa application made from Nigeria?

Dejavu31:
Ha. He is actually a citizen over there. And he has been the one sponsoring my previous visits to the UK. And we make use of his UK accounts

Student visa rules are not the same as visiting visa. You need to read and ask questions about this before going ahead, i'm yet to see any one who used foreign bank account for student visa application from Nigeria.

NomzyJust:
@justwise Will the embassy grant visa even when your background is different from your Master degree program? For example a Geologist going for ICT course in Msc.

If the school gives you an admission based on your profile then the embassy will not see it as a problem.

Dejavu31:
Yes. They are for my dad. One is Barclays the other nationwide. Both have clocked over 28 days. The funds have been there for close to 4 months. But the wahala of moving large funds in the UK is why they are both in different accounts.

I'm not really sure if you can use those bank statements for visa application in Nigeria, i think it has to be money held in Nigeria bank account

omopapa:
If your fiancé have a permanent job, earns more than £24k a year and preferably live on his own in a 2 bed flat/house. Let him come to 9ja and marry you officially then put in an fresh application. However, due to ur last refusal ur case might take longer so just prepare ur mind.

What type of visa requirement is that?

Dejavu31:
@justwise. Please can I present 2 bank statements for CAS and Visa application. The total money I need is £24,300. I have 14,300 in one account and 10,000 in another. Is this acceptable for CAS and Visa application. Thanks

Have the two bank statements clocked 28days?

CeceNene:
My fiance and he sent me the invitation. The document was uploaded

That is not good enough, its 50/50 situation even as your fiance will be sponsoring you then the question becomes..do you have a strong tie to Nigeria?

Your tie to Nigeria is that business but already the agent has ruined it for you by making up false record about your financial situation.

Two options here: 1.Apply and come clean about the previous misleading info but you are likely to be refused.

2. Try another country where your finance can travel to meet you then apply for the UK later when your business has lived up to the lies the agent told in the application.

If you are planning to get married to your fiance and apply for spouse visa in future then be careful what you do else you will pay the price during spouse visa application.

CeceNene:
OK but I am not the one sponsoring myself.

Who is your sponsor and did you mention this in your previous application?

CeceNene:
Jesu, kindly advise me. What should I do

Don't waste more money on this visa thing, put that money into your business for expansion.

You can't afford this holiday and it makes no sense to invest all your money on 14days trip to the UK and come back to Nigeria broke.

CeceNene:
Thanks for your swift response Justwise, I really appreciate it.

The agent I used messed everything up for me. But can I apply like asap? Cause I have an invitation.
Secondly, am into poultry farming but in small scale, so can I say am an applicant?

You are likely to get banned by the British embassy because you have lied in your first application and now you want to reapply with different set of documents.

[quote author=CeceNene post=85872002][/quote]You did not submit a convincing document to justify the source of your income

CeceNene:
Good afternoon gurus, @justwise I commend all your efforts and other gurus, well done too.

Please gurus, how soon do I apply for a tourist visa cause my application was denied. Someone help before I loose my mind.

I'll be reading all your comments thanks in advance

What was the reason/reasons for the refusal?

Chijiuba:
Ok thank you, please how much do you advice I put as monthly expenses that would be reasonable?

I can't really answer that..you know average of what you spent as a household ..that will give you an idea how much to put but exaggerating/under stating figures will not help your application

kunzzy4me:
Please it's about my UK Visa application ...while filling the online form ..I mistakenly enter my name in the family name column instead of my surname ...hope I won't have issue with that ...

You can email them to notify them about the mistake but since the mistake is only in the form and not in passport and other documents i don't think it will affect the outcome

themusketeer:
It’s a YES

Prior refusals ( FLR on compassionate grounds in 2013, lost appeal them willingly came back to Lagos.

6 month visit visa refused in 2016, reapplied immediately and challenged the refusal and was given.

Was given 2 years visit visa again

Then now.....


Thanks to everyone on here @justwise, @lexusgs @mamaEEE etc.

Tls contact Uk settlement scanning Hub
Exhibition house,suite 18, ground floor
Addison bridge pl,London w14 8xp

That was the address i was given from the application center in ikeja to send the documents too..
I sent since 11th of dec and i have a confirmation it was received and signed for through Dhl

Ok, i think they have changed address because it used to be Sheffield.

kunzzy4me:
@justwise please I need your assistance on something pls

Go on and ask your question

Chinlin:
For those that have had previous refusals (uk/other countries), did y’all upload your refusal letters on the day of submission along with your other documents?
Even though you already stated it in the online application
Must you submit the refusal letters too?

No, just declare it, that is all you need to do

kreatorsink:
You should try to get what he is saying! If the money showed in your account is truly yours and is intended for your study period, then you don’t have to be concerned about when they verify the account statement. He just want this forum to be clean as much as possible if not many toxic suggestions would’ve be circulating. Everyone needs to play by the rule and not play around it.

Thank Goodness!! There are still people with conscience here.

H0tbabe:
Well justwise, sorry to say but u r wrong, u can't just assume to know things u don't, I had experience of my bank forwarding to me the same account statement I gave to embassy bearing the same reference number after I got a msg from sheffield my application has been received, It was printed with a current date thus showing my usable balance that's current balance and yes, my money is still intact, it's just me wondering if embassy could have requested so people know contrary to what they think, embassy could verify balance, I'm trying to be sure before concluding so u see? U r wrong.

All you wrote here made sense to only one person and that person is you.

H0tbabe:
who's abusing rules, I am not even asking for myself, I'm trying to clarify things incase if they actually verify balance so people will be aware and act accordingly.

That makes no sense, nobody needs to know or worry about that unless you are planning to abuse the rule.

This argument will not happen here because the whole idea is to find a way of abusing the immigration rule.

H0tbabe:
Why is my post deleted?.

I deleted it because of the nature of your question. That sort of question will not be allowed here. We don’t encourage the abuse of immigration rules here.

Roverguy:
Gurus in the house, i have two questions
1) my wife secured an admission to the UK, i hope myself and the 2 kids can go with her as dependents?
2) i was denied visiting visa to the UK in July last year, i hope this will not be a hindrance for me ?

i will appreciate responses to this. God bless......

1. If you and your wife can afford it..check the financial requirement for dependant visa

2. Not really..as long as the refusal has nothing to do with fraudulent activity and you declare the refusal when asked in the form..etc

graceodini:
Ok sir. Did you mean I need to mention tourist attractions I will visit with my friend?

Yes

Meraldola:
I'm in Bristol area (south west) of England.
I'm looking towards getting a one bed or two bed house.

Check this link, register first with gumtree then contact the landlord of any house you like to arrange viewing.

https://www.gumtree.com/search?search_category=property-to-rent&search_location=bristol&q=house&seller_type=private

Please be very careful because there are scammers in guntree, so don't pay deposit for a house without viewing and signing tenancy agreement

Gdday house.
Please i need assistance on my application.

I submitted last month but i forgot to take my original Tb and english test certificate with me. Though i have the copies submitted along with my supporting documents..

I posted the supporting documents through Dhl from nigeria to the assisted scanning hub in Uk. I havn't received an email if my document was received but i tracked it online and saw it was delivered and signed by someone there.
I only received an email that was application is with the decision officer.

Please, is there anything that can be done for the errors i made?

Which address did you send the document in the UK?

Regarding acknowledgment from UKBA they are terrible at that, you may not get the acknowledgement from them for weeks.

chukxy:
Hello guys,

Please can someone clarify the document submission for me. At the moment my wife has some documents in Nigeria, while I have some here in UK. I just wondering is it the case she post the documents she has to me and I subsequently submit all documents to the designated centre here in UK?

Please how does it work?

Many thanks in anticipation.

Your wife needs to send you her documents..which is probably her educational qualification and the TB certificate then you will add all your documents and send to Sheffield registered, you need to add one self addressed envelop because they will return your documents with it
