Your wife is applying for visa if l am right.
You should send all documents to her and she will take it to the UK office in Nigeria.
You don't have anything to do in UK home office.

This is false, the wife needs to send all the documents to him in the UK then he will add his documents and send to Sheffield

Good evening guys,
I'm here to seek your opinion...
I have an aunt (actually my mum's cousin but very close) who is a retired Met police officer.
She had invited my mum on 2 previous occasions but she was denied on the basis of her account statement.
On both occasions my aunt requested my mum to appeal but she declined as she preferred visiting another relative in the US....
I intend traveling to the UK for a 5 days visit, my mum suggested I talk to my aunt to send me an invite but I'm a bit skeptical.
As I write earlier, my aunt retired from the Metropolitan police and she now runs a care center for orphans.
There's zero chance I will stay with her during the trip.
I intend staying in a hotel but my mum thinks the invite will be of more advantage.
I have a budget of 800k for the trip from a savings of 2.5 million, earn 431k monthly.

You don't need an IV from her but you need to mention that you have relative in the UK when asked in the application form but you have no intention of staying in her house.

Chijiuba:
How about the issue of no home ties If all of us are to travel together, how do I package it to stand a chance (if there is even a chance)

Home ties in this case does not really matter, this is a family trip and as long as you can afford it comfortably without affecting your economic situation in Nigeria you will be fine.

Chijiuba:
Flight : 600k(2 adults 1 infant)
Transport withings the city: 50k
Shopping and other expenses: 50k

Feeding and accommodation:my mom in her letter stated she will house us

700k
Approx: £ 1500

You should be fine considering your salary

Chijiuba:
Good morning Guru's in the house, I am actually new to this thread, but I have tried to read through to understand before asking my questions
below is my profile

I want to apply for a visiting Visa (2 weeks) Please I need you advice on this

1. Married with a son (<2 Years Old)
2. My mom is a British citizen and she would send me an Invitation letter stating i will stay with her. (NB i will fund the trip)
3. My monthly earnings is 500k
4. My first question (what do you advise should be the monthly expense)
5. what do you advice i put as my budget for the trip that will fly for myself, wife and kid?
6. I dont have a property (kindly advice that would serve as strong ties)

Please advice me on how to package it in order to stand a chance

Note i have been denied UK visa once around 2012 or so, for not having strong ties in nigeria

What is your budget for the trip?

@crytonyte @lateef9699 @omopapa

Appreciate your honest answers.

In addition, i like to find out if the tuition fee you pay in the 1st year for a masters prog of 2years covers the 2 year study period. Or would you be paying another fee in the 2nd year?

Also, what if one get the whole tuition fee & mtce fee to be deposited in your own account for the 28 day period. Hope UKBA will not require you to prove source of fund.

Thanks

No, the fee is for the whole Msc program.

graceodini:
@ Justwise I hope this is perfect sir. Please do i need to mention that my friend would be responsible for my transportation while in the UK?

Yes and you need to mention places and things you want to do while in the UK

Meraldola:
Please those who travel with dependants to the UK. How do you sort out accommodation issues. I've been having issues for two months now trying to let. How do I pass credibility , referencing and affordability checks . I don't have a credit history bc I'm new in the Uk and my partner is yet to get a job for the Affordability checks. Pls advise is needed on how to quickly secure a job and sort out housing issues too
Cc: justwise

You shouldn't need any of those an a foreign student, where do you do your search?And where about in the UK are you?

fakmurphy:
Good morning great people. Last week I asked some questions about the possibility of getting Visa for our 2 staffs who are attending a free tech show in April. After careful consideration of your advice we have searched for a paid tech show coming up in June.

The company will be paying the staffs admission to the event, flight, accommodation and feeding. Each of them earn between 300-350k/monthly[/b].


So my questions;

1) What are the documents to be supplied by the firm. We usually pay staffs salaries into their accounts without payslips or[b] tax deduction.

2) What are the documents to be supplied by the applicants themselves?.

3) is it a must for us to get them a taxpayer I'd with tax clearance?

4) Is it better to transfer the cost of their travelling, hotel,feeding and so on directly to their accounts and let them handle the visa themselves, if so what are the documents for them to apply with?

1. Are you suggesting that your employees does not pay tax?

2. Employment letter, salary account and letter from the company detailing the trip

3. No

4. They need to draw budget for the trip then you transfer the money into their accounts but that needs to be explained in the letter.

Have your company ever sent any of your worker outside Nigeria before?

graceodini:
Okay sir. Thanks for your response. So is £700 okay to be stated as my cost for the trip for the 2 weeks sir without telling them my friend would be contributing or can i say £650 so they won't say £700 is almost 2× of my disposable income of N168k? Because my friend plan to give me £200 to support my trip. Also please are they going to consider my income of 810k I got paid on January 2 for year 2020 rent ( January - December) from my 2-flat property?

Since your friend will be accommodating you £650 should take care of ticket which the only thing you will be spending money on.

Submit documents to support that 810K because it will help your application as an additional income.

graceodini:
Okay sir. Please what can I do? Though my friend wish to support me with £200 while I spend £600 from my salary. But I was advised not to involve my friend in supporting my trip. I also made 810k which was paid into my account by my Estate Agent from my 2-flat property.

Can you extend that to 2wks holiday rather than 6days?

bbclue:
A LinkedIn member send a private message to my LinkedIn page...asking if I need a job and o said yes......she send an email that I should forward my CV and cover letter to the mail after 2days i received the above email and two document starting the type of Job's available and the contract form to sign and scan back within 7days..


But my question is I was asked to get UK labour Certificate....how can I go about it

Obviously its a scam.

Labour certificate is like admission letter, the company has to be apply for that if they can satisfy the authority that there is no UK or EU citizen who can do that job.

Please kindly help how genuine is it.....one of the LinkedIn member send an message to me to apply for job...of which I did

Did you apply for any job with that company?

graceodini:
Okay. Please is £700 good as the cost of my trip considering my 168k disposable income from my salary? Should I get a letter from our pastor as well to show am currently holding a position in the church as youth coordinator?

Spending £700 is not bad as that represents two months of your salary, the only issue is that you are going to spend what you earned in two months in just 6days.

Letter from your pastor is not necessary, it wouldn't stop you from overstaying your visa if you want to?

Seuntolaa:
She doesn't need to send a mail at all?

Wouldn't that be too late considering the fact that she is expecting the outcome on Monday?

laff2016:
Thank u for your prompt response.I f I have a better job,i will be the last person to think of traveling abroad,I have tried,but nothing tangible seems to be coming forth,hence my resolution of migrating.But I will be indebted,if u can help.Many Thanks

Be patient and keep traveling abroad out of your mind for now, don't give up on your job search, you will get a job because you have list of good qualifications. Canadian work program also involves a lot of money, don't waste the little you have now chasing shadow.

Keep sending those job applications you will surely get a reasonable offer.

Seuntolaa:
Good day everyone and @justwise

Please I need help on this.

A friend applied for a study visa,paid for priority service and have done her interview. She is expecting a decision on Monday only to realize she made a mistake on the application. Her resumption is January 2020 but filled in may 2020 by mistake.
What can she do?

It may not be an issue as the CAS has the correct date.

laff2016:
I will love to know,the procedures,or Exams to be taken,to enable me travel to Canada,Germany,Austria or any of this schenghen countries,F or greener pastures,prefarably on a sponsorship level,or better still,where I can spend a little amount of money,to achieve my dream of traveling abroad. ,I am a graduate of Chemical engineering,with a PGD in chemical engineering,and I just completed my MSc in chemical engineering,from ABU.i majored on water treatment.I am also a professional in Environmental Health and safety( hse1&2),also a professional in human resource management(hrm),a project management professional(pmp).i am also a computer literate I am a hard-working individual,a team player and a God fearing person.I also have about 8 years post Graduate Experience in various fields such as Banking,insurance,NGO and Auditing firm.
Any vital idea,or Assistance,will be highly appreciated.

With those impressive list of qualifications you need to start looking for job in Nigeria and not seeking to travel abroad because your chances of getting a visa is slim and no stranger will sponsor you.

I'm really depressed right now that life & everything dies nite make sense to me, pls I need someone to talk to before i lose it. I've called all the people i know but they were not picking. Pls I need help. Thanks in advance

Did you became depressed after you failed to scam people with promises of training program to Brazil by your 'company''?

gabazin080:
with the situation of the country am thinking of finding a way out of this nation. i[b]s 500k enough to move to Canada or Finland.[/b]
what are my chances of getting a job as a school cert holder or is there a business 200k can start over there

You may not want to hear this but i'm still going to say it.

1. You will not be able to get a visa to travel to any of those countries to work illegally.

2. If by magic or miracle you get a visiting visa to any of those countries then get ready to experience the real suffer, you can not work, do business or study with visiting visa.

3. Unless you have friend/family who will accommodate you from day1 you will be on the cold street that whatever you are experiencing in Nigeria right now will look like paradise

Use part of that 500k to buy materials and study for scholarship exams then leave Nigeria legitimately.

Don't add to a growing number of Nigerians wasting abroad with no hope of even saving for flight ticket back home.

She adopted her in 2008, and has the adoption papers.

Its not an easy thing to do because of numerous cases of child trafficking in the name of adoption.

You can read this pdf file to know the process

Bhorbymills1990:
Is like you have never left your comfort zone before

That did not answer my question,

Tell me how you will survive in a foreign land holding visiting visa with no money.

Bhorbymills1990:
To get a schengen visa is less than 100k now tell me is 400k not enough for flight??

Flight to where and how do you survive after wasting that 500K on visa application and flight?

Sebij:
No, it's not. am a medical doctor lecturing in a university. I want to go for PLAB 2 exam. And the thing is that my IELTS result, which I'll need later, will soon expire, that is why it's as if am in a haste.

My mum is already maintaining a clean account, she started this month anyway, but she said the much she can go is 3 months

Ok you really need to explain that in your application. Yes your mum can contribute but avoid transferring money into your salary account that is not your salary.
