It may cost you a lot if you refused to hold cash and It will not cost you anything if you hold cash. What happens if your fiance was called and his phone did not connect?

Chinlin:
Haba... this response is too harsh
It’s not that deep.
I also didn’t know the full meaning of CAS until recently.

Lee310:
Don’t be scared if you’ve not done anything bad.

You must be able to be defend yourself.

£100 - £200 is too small despite you holding your cards. It’s an international trip not local please.

Your contact details saved with funny names means nothing because they can’t tell you what to save contacts with. It’s your personal item but they can check your phones if they want to. If I save a friends name with funny words, border control will tell me to change the name. Lol funny you.

As said, hold enough cash with you cos buying tickets at heathrow is very expensive... I mean coaches ( National Express and MegaBus) £500 is OK

Have your prove of accommodation intact. No stories. Your return ticket too is important as well.

You will be questioned but be truthful. Have a valid reason when answering questions and don’t panic.

Be a good citizen of Nigeria.
All the best.

Nothing serious my dear. If you made a reservation make sure it's still very valid
Hold at least 100-200 pounds with you.
Your leave approval from work if employed.
Your return ticket should be with you as well.

Hello my people...... Any first timer coming into UK through Heathrow airport....should be very careful.

make sure you delete any chat or mail that can land u back to muritala,make sure u don't save people's name with some funny words..my experience yesterday at Heathrow airport was a serious check by the boarder officers after being checked in by immigrations.

A guy was sent back cos they said his visa is fake which is not true. At first timer coming in at this time should be careful.

Which means they are ready to send pple back at the slightest of any thing.

Good evening all.

While filling out the form request to print my bank statement in the bank, there's a section for which purpose I wanted to print the statement for, then embassy and then a space to write which embassy. I filled UK embassy.

The account has been restricted, my question is, will the restriction be lifted once I get my visa?

Thank you.

Hello house.
Please I just made a very careless mistake in my application now.
I uploaded over 30 different supporting documents but in all of them I forgot to upload my husband's (he is the sponsor and the one inviting me and our daughter) passport data-page/ILR permit. I had already clicked on submit before I remembered that I did not add that to the documents submitted.
Kindly advise what I can do to remedy this mistake please. I feel very bad right now. My biometrics appointment is Tuesday 10th.
Thank you.

@ozymes and other gurus please SOS.

Did my interview today and it was a stroll in the park. The lady in room 1 was just carried away by only God knows what. she repeated so many question she asked before. She was even confused if i was going for Bsc or Masters. i didnt write any test, wasnt asked question about the states in Germany. But she focused on why i want to study another Bachelors and why Germany. Thanks to everyone on this thread for your help. Na to go hustle 8040 euros na him remain. And they held our original docs and told us to go. Met @adexhat, cool dude

Oct 09, 2015
It been God all the way. As at when I went for my Visa interview, I didn't have any hope of raising the money. Finally today the AM matter from the embassy arrived just after 48hrs of funding. Thanks to everyone who helped me. And for those still waiting, never Give Up. See you at the other end

Jul 11, 2017

Aug 04, 2017

Jan 08, 2018
Hey Guys please i am trying to book for visa interview. I just got my Admission letter. The website for visa booking isnt showing available dates. Who has booked recently? is there an email address for bookings? Can i still use my Fintba of winter application?

Today Nov 20, 2019 6:10pm
Hi Everyone, anyone needing sponsorship letter for Summer semester should let me know. No free

SarahSholagbade:
justwise i dont know if i am on the right benefit to apply for spousal visa via disability route. i havent a clue but i will look into it

how do i cut down on my gas bill please? ive looked for cheaper but they all seem to come to about £45-£50. But thats what im saying they are charhing me £46 a month for both gas and electricity so together so it is about £23 a month for gas and £23 for electricity. About my phone, if i cancel the contract i will be in debt and owing money cos i cancelled.
i didnt know u didnt have to pay TV Licensing if u r disabled. i just know tv licensing came knocking on my door so i signed up qith them because they were talking about prosecuting me.

no chance im not leaving my husband for anything i love him too much and i just cant see my life without him in it. i know we text and call everyday and facetime but i cant be without him

SarahSholagbade:
and juat to make it clear i wasnt begging for money i wasnt holding a gun to anyone's head they could of helped if they wanted to, if they didnt want to, thats fine too and i wasnt expecting a big donation even if someone did help, i would of just been happy if anyone donated 1p i dont care i was trying to get some help but u know what who cares anymore i wanted to be with the love of my life but it seems like the whole worls is against that i have been fighting for 3 years straight wrote to the MP everything but nothing helps

i just feel....stuck in a situation where its the same story all the time, get money, pay bills and food, no money left all the time, its a vicious circle. and theres nothing i cam do. i want to work so much because im sick to death of sitting bored in my home doing nothing but i know my barriers will get in the way.

I don't buy any clothes for myself, wish i could, but i just can't afford it. My mum buys all my clothes for me

sassysure:
U actually believed the poster?

And no, u can save. A lady with bipolar disorder receives 1k every month from council( a friend), she is living in a subsidised accommodation that she pays 400, receives her shots free and do save to go on holiday. Her cousin with kids not married( don't know what he said is his problem)receives such from council and don't wanna work.
Autistic patient receive more that a bipolar patient, has more public sympathy. Even though I was trying to wring out the truth from the poster, I actually know what I was explaining to her and she never disputed any.
There is a guy on rampant here scamming people using so many formats so the style of writing was like his.

sassysure:
Which bills actually? You live free off govt. The only thing u pay for is feeding and clothing.
Ur husband for the past 3 yrs couldnt raise flight ticket for u to visit him?

SarahSholagbade:
electricity
gas
tv licence
rent
council tax
broadband
mobile phone bill

DISCLAIMER: THIS PPR STORY IS FOR ABYEJECKS

My Ppr Timeline
PPR : December 4th
ITA: June 26th
Aor: July 5
Adr(schedule A): July 31
Mep/Bil: August 6(wedding anniversary)
Bil completed: Aug 9
Long silence
I raised cse Sept to find out Vo and a week later response came Ottawa.
Another silence till early November I raised cse for eligibility status and response came that background verifications is in progress and eligibility in progress. Nothing about security. I relaxed.
Ppr came in early this morning by 5am.
Relocation Story
I first heard about Canada Pr in October 2018 when my hubby's colleague disclosed to my hubby that a mutual friend had just moved. Unknowingly to us, she has been writing Ielts without telling hubby. I decided to research and found out another family friend had just completed her pebc report and never told me. She introduced me to nairaland. I joined in part 5. I was a silent reader. I studied nairaland like novel. I started preparing for Ielts.
November 2018, we did passport for my son and mine was to be renewed and changed to hubby's name. It was very stressful thanks to Immigration. Finally, it was ready early January 2019.
We did evaluation with Ices. Hubby's school Unn was fast within 2weeks sent his transcript. Unilag was stressful and finally sent my masters transcript in April after 2months delay. We wrote Ielts together March 12 2019 computer based with BC
Myself(pa) L8.5 R8.5 W7 S7.5
Hubby(spouse) L7 R9 W6.5 S7
Hubby's Eca report came out in April. Miraculously my Eca report came out in June.
We created profile on June 17.
We got ITA June 26th with 475 at cut off 462
We booked medicals for July 4 with Qlife. Did PCC 3rd July.
Paid upfront fees both processing and rprf.
Work experience
3yrs plus as a secondary school teacher. Noc 4031. Put hubby's work in his personal history.
I submitted employment letter, Reference letter from nairaland, ID card and payslips. I indicated I was paid in cash on the reference letter.
Proof of funds
We did a fixed deposit in our joint acct and used hubby's pension letter and statement of account for buffer in case of exchange rate. We wrote an loe breaking proof of funds down. The second loe was to explain the name change in my ID card as the date was reissued due to name change.
Then the long wait.
Finally, ppr has landed. A big shout out to Nairaland. I learnt everything here.
P.s Justwise banned me from nairaland so simeone else has to post my ppr story.
Ppr will come for everyone waiting. Thank you all for the support.

stefanimay:
@justwise,pls can I use screenshot of Whatsapp chat instead of importing/exporting... Which one is acceptable?

Seeyat:
I specially want to thank @ekpotek and @justwise and every other people that contributed their opinion. My visa application was refused in September due to Eco not checking all documents i submitted, i was adviced by these two wise men to contact them and complain which i did. 21 days later i received an email saying they're conducting an Independent review of my complaint.

5 days ago i received another email stating "Please note your visa decision has been overturned" I have submitted my passport with a copy of the email received from them.


I appreciate every advice given and God bless you guys

Pompoms:
Hello everyone.
Thank you for this post, Justwise.
My case is peculiar and I would really appreciate your input.

I got a 10year ban for misrepresentation when I tried renewing my visa in 2010.
(My first visa in 2006, stayed 5 months but was wrongly advised to backdate my arival date at the airport, stating that I stayed 1 month). I sent them an email apologising for that.

Now the ban is lapsed and I want to apply for a 6-month visa. Purpose is to visit my siblings.

*I was a student then, now married with children.

*I run an online clothing business. Income is between 40-50 thousand naira monthly.

*I receive monthly allowance of 200k from my husband, which he recently increased . The extra is his personal savings towards rent,school fees,etc.

*I have land documents, the children's birth certificates/school receipts , CAC certificate and tax certificate.

*3 bank statements: 1 for business and 2, personal. All below 1million naira .

*I'll be visiting my sister who also doubles as my sponsor.

How much should I state as my monthly income? And expenses? Do I add the allowance I get for upkeep or just income from my business?

How much should my budget be? I see it's twice your monthly income but in this case, doubling my income won't cut it and again my trip will be sponsored.

Please, I just need to know the best way to approach this application because of where I'm coming from.

Thank you very much.

jesuisroya:
Greetings dear Nairalanders.

It's me again.

Is it okay to include in one's visa application that he was denied visa in another embassy?
My inlaw was denied tourist Canada Visa a month or two ago, and he's including it in his UK visa application?
Is it okay, or should he remove that detail?
Thanks.

dilodavid:
You can decide not to include it. Canada and UK don't share information.

justwise:
[/b]

That is obviously not true, a budget of 10 days is not the same as a budget of 15days, stating that you are going to stay 10days and given a visa and you went ahead to book a flight a return ticket for 15days is an issue.

Luckily you haven't paid the price yet but many have because its misrepresentation.

oak202:
I totally disagree with this narrative that its a misrepresentation because in every application, you will be asked the number of days used previously which i stated the true number of days. Its when you lie thats when it becomes a misrepresentation.

I applied for 6 months and stated i will spend 5 days which i ended up spending 10 days. I later applied for 2 years which i stated i spent 10 days in my previous visit with dates. I got my 2 years

alutachuks:
Hello Gurus in the house... I greet everyone..pls I want to use my phone to take a clear snap of all the pages of my 6months account statement and convert it to PDF before uploading.. Hope this won't be a bad idea instead of scanning it..
Your prompt responses would be appreciated..
Thanks
