Good day guys, please I need your contributions on how UK embassy can verify the existence of a company or an employee's employment status via open source independent verification. A friend was denied on that basis and attached is the refusal notice. Thank you.

Seeyat:
You're a liar, this is my last refusal letter and i don't even know you. I work at GGK global limited, stop lying

Hello House

Please i need an urgent help. I am applying for a visit visa for me and my wife. While filling the form i indicated that my wife will be traveling with me and i indicated her passport number.
I am at the point of making payment and i noticed 2 things
i. That the payment for standard service is USD129 (despite the fact that i am applying for 2 people)
ii. I have not been able to chose where i will do my biometrics (i prefer VI)

Is this normal, or i made mistakes while filling the form
I used this website https://visas-immigration.service.gov.uk

Please help out

Thanks

Thanks for your response Justwise. Please one more clarification.
Apart from her official work, she does a side business by buying and selling if kids products. She has registered as an enterprise but she uses her savings account for this business. The problem is she does not have any vat clearance or vat payment since this is just a small business but she plans to open a business account later on and pay taxes.

Please can she add the business documents to her application to justify the usage of her savings account in running her side business without the payment of taxes?

And is she supposed to add receipts of her purchase and selling of the kinds products?

Please clarify
Thank you

Good evening all. I am a bit confused. I applied and submitted my visa application online last week. I booked for my biometrics and selected Ikeja office. However, i noticed that my biometrics booking confirmation mail mentioned that the TLS office is now at a particular address in VI.
My question is that, is the IKEJA TLS office no longer functional? My appointment is for Tuesday the 7th of May and i need your urgent response.
Thank you in advance.

I just got issued a 6month Visa. During the application process I stated that I will be using 5days though my application was conference based.

My question now is can i use more than the stated days during my application process. If YES what is the maximum days I can use.

Hoping for a swift response thank you

Hello Justwise and other gurus pls put your mouth in my matter.
I asked a question earlier before going through the trend so I took time and read through and I think I'm more informed but just so I'm double sure of my chances and corrected if wrong.
Below is my story
I was denied UK Visa about 8-10years ago..not quite sure now. Bases of refusal was that my then sponsor (my uncle) didnt have sufficient balance or the ECO wasn't convinced he will/could sponsor my trip etc.
Fast forward to how things have changed
I am now employed for 7 years with 250k salary and about 450k in my account(also some credits from hubby- must I explain these in cover letter?) , I have some agrictech investments that will mature by july worth 1.5m, I have openended mutual funds of
200k, I birthed last year in USA with a 2years valid Visa and I declared pregnancy to VO and have my zero balance. My husband has a quite impressive travel history but I have only been to south Africa twice and then this USA.
My blood sister and brother are UK green card holders and my sister is inviting my son and I for summer, I'd be sponsoring the trip and plan to go in August first week.
She's only going to offer Accommodation and feeding.
What must she send to me? What must be in her invitation letter? What must be in my cover letter? When must I start application in view of my intended date of travel? What must be in my checklist of documents? What must my budget look like?
Pls guys, I need your mouths in this matter as I dont want to make mistakes pls

Hello Guys

So i applied for a visitor visa in and got the denial letter last week.I was surprised seeing as i have visited the the USA,Tanzania,South Africa(official), UAE in the last 5 years. My last UK visa expired unused in 2012 and my financial circumstance has greatly improved since i last applied almost 10 years ago.

Denial Reason - we cant determine your salary or if you pay taxes based on the info you provided. In addition, you had some unexplained deposits which may have been used to inflate your a/c (i did no such thing, they were probably referring to my bonus). I wonder why its difficult to determine my pay especially since i submitted my official salary a/c bank statement with my monthly salary credits (i work in a bank), 2 other bank statements, Payslips for 1 year, Letter from my Employer stating my annual salary and level, proof of investments etc

Anyway, my question for the gurus; how soon can i reapply since i'm not allowed to appeal or have an admin review. what other options do i have? like getting an lawyer bla bla

Gracias

Hello,

please whats type of visa can you recommend I apply? my intention is to study there but i dont want a situation where I will have to come back immediately after the study years...

am hoping to apply for work visa(Tier 2) but i don't have a job ready for me there and my education level is just secondary school, though I will try to get an agent to make more enquiry, but i thought i should ask you that are already there...

I have a relative there though but we ain't family and I dont want to go through him, atleast he would have spent more than 10years there.. Though if its necessary to go through him and that it will make the approval my visa more considerable, I will surely contact him.

But I need your recommendations and guard,

additionaly, can standard visitor be turned to permanent residency after 10years?

Thanks, I will be expecting from you.

@justwise I'm in a fix right now. Finding it difficult to answer some questions here because of my mum's situation, she's just a petty trader and gets money from children every month (no fixed amount)
1. How much do you earn in a year?
I intend writing #300000

2.Total amount of money you earn in a year
I intend writing 750000

3. How much do you have in savings? 650GBP
4. How much money are you planning to spend on your visit to the UK? £850
I am the one sponsoring. Budget is £650 for return flight ticket and £200 for shopping. I will be providing feeding and accommodation. Planned visit is for four months. Is this realistic?

5. What is the total amount of money you spend each month? #25000

6. Will anyone be paying towards the cost of your visit? Yes
7. How much will they be paying? £850
8. Why are they helping to pay for your visit? She is my daughter and I am dependent on her and my other children

Please help your girl. My head is scattering with all these questions, tier 2 application was not like this. Please and please, I need to submit her application ASAP.
Is it advisable to mention in the application that I just had a baby and I want here so that we could reunite and for her to bond with her new grandchild?

Will a closing balance of £2700 fly?

I have few cash deposits, one £220 and £400, all gotten from cash gifts gathered during my baby's naming, do I need to explain all these?

Abeg no vex o, plenty questions for my head

Thank you in anticipation of your usual kind gesture. God bless you plenty plenty

@justwise @d-law, and the rest,you guys are doing a great work in taking your time out to enlighten people on this forum,you're all well appreciated.
I applied for uk visa in 2007 but i was refused.unfortunately for me the guy that help in the application process then misleaded me to use an age that's totally different from my real age on my international passport,i was single then he also arranged married on the P. He also said i have two kids in the visa application then all was lie.
Moving forward i have to find means to do another passport that has my real information and i've tried application to us twice with my new passport but was also refused, pls what's the way forward for me if i have to apply to uk and how do i go about it.
I am the MD of my company and i also have other personal business with good acct but i run most of my expenses on my coporate account since i don't have personal account.
Your wealth of knowledge will be of great help in this my matter. Thanks

Justwise, I'm so confused right now. I just left TLS office and my application isn't ready yet. I was told that i have to contact them,that I'm still going to receive another email saying decision has been made. They said it might be with UK embassy in VI and they will be the one to send my application to them. Infact, a lady came there too for the same issue and her own is 5 weeks.so if i don't contact them they will not release my passport back or what. Cos i don't get it.
