Good evening house.

I have followed this thread for a while and it has been informative.
I am about to apply for our tier 2 dependant visa with my son to join my partner in the UK. I believe I have everything right but I want to ask if large deposits/credit in my account statement will affect our application. For instance, my partner sent 300k into the account which will reflect within the 3 months period, I also sent 200k and another 100k and 120k recently from my other personal account. It was all sent so that I can show activity on the account without affecting the actual amount we need for maintenance. My question is, do we need a cover letter to explain like I just did here or this won't be an issue.
Kindly help a troubled sister. Thanks.

Yes you need to explain those money movement in your account either with a separate paper or within the application

Success2011:
So, I go my passport picked up yesterday in DHL office. I was given 6 months multiple. This is my first application. It was a strictly 100% do-it-yourself process. I got ALL valuable suggestions from Nairaland here. God bless all the gurus and contributors for their time. Kudos!

My destination is Manchester, but the plan is to land in Heathrow Airport then connect a train or bus to Manchester City. How do I go about this? Please experienced travellers who have used same route should advice. Make una assist una compatriot o. God bless una richly one more time.

Congratulations!!

Just buy a train or bus ticket from Heathrow airport to Manchester.

If you have someone in Manchester they can help you buy a ticket with national express or any train company.

Or you can buy right there at the airport when you land though it will be more expensive

oga justwjustwise and all other guru pls come to my rescue , at least I need to know d reason even if they have refused me.

Contact the embassy straight a way. You should have done that immediately you noticed the problem

GarciaEvans:
!!!

I just spoke with him
He’s already answered No(that’s no convictions) on the online UKvisa application and he has already submitted it

I pray it won’t get him a denial visa...

Thnks for ur swift response

He answered no to awaiting trial?

casperuk:
Hello y'all,
I need some good advise as am really not sure which decision to take.
I am in the UK, currently illegally. I want to return to Nigeria voluntarily ('been resident for about 5 years'). I have about 10 million saved, and send home 800k monthly. I am very tired of the life here and I want to return to Nigeria.
I intend coming back and travelling to Germany, Canada or USA for studies (Msc), or better still find a country where I can get a stay and live in a saner environment: nevertheless, I am also romancing the idea of remaining permanently in Nigeria and establishing something for myself in Lagos.

My arguments:

1. Will my voluntary return have a negative impact on gaining any of the visas to the countries i mentioned above?
2. Is 10 million too small to start anything quite profitable in Nigeria?
3. Finally, should I continue to remain here illegally working with no prospect of legalising my stay here?

I don't want to marry any woman for paper or have a child because of same.('married with kids back home')

Please, considering my options above, and the situation and living condition in Nigeria; what is the best option for me.

Note:
Life in the UK is not easy and not to talk of working and living illegally, plus family separation. I believe I have seen my fair share of the stress and have had enough.

1. Yes that is very possible.

2. Absolutely not, 10m is a lot of money and can set you up in Nigeria if you plan well.

3. Only you can answer that because you know it has been for 5yrs now and most importantly your wife and kids you left back home.

johnsonm2g:
Please Justwise and other Nairalanders, I have a very disturbing question to ask you; I have been working with a federal establishment since 2011, although I got in with my SSCE ( WEAC) after which I further my education, I also just recently graduated with a BSc degree. Please I want to apply for a master's programme in France; should I use my payslip and bank statement or my Father's to apply for student visa in case I'm given admission... Knowing that my take home is about #30,000 and my Father's #145,000, should I use only my dad's payslip and bank statement since he will be sponsoring me or I should include mine to serve as my home tie to Nigeria? Please Justwise, tzetzefly and other Nairalanders I need your response.

How much is the totally? Fees and maintenance money for a year.

GarciaEvans:
Hello house please we need an urgent advice,
My friend had a rape case in UK he was involved with not that he actually committed it but the white girl allegedly mentioned his name along with other fellas that was involved.

He was arrested and released before 24 hours on investigation. Since 11/July /2018 till now nothing.

The guy came back to Nigeria last year December and now he’s trying to apply for a tier 4 visa to come back to Uk for his degree program.

So now would it affect the visa as they said in a visa space have you been ARRESTED OR CHARGED currently OR awaiting trial?.

Please justwise what should he do

All your has to do is to answer questions truthfully and leave the rest to ECO, I can’t tell if it will affect him or not but you need to understand that rape case is a serious issue in the U.K.

no need for the ad-hominem.

He is only in support of conservative principles, without it being unduly diluted by post-modernist ideologies. I agree we should pick and choose and throw the rest of the so-called "progressive" ideologies away.

I also dont think he supports sexual harassment, just that he feels the motive for the yaba march was insincere, being that a greater proportion of harassment are being perpetuated in corporate environments.

My stand is in support of the Yaba march, and also in support for all injustice to both men and women

wetdick:
if you think #metoo solved harassment problems then you are joking, it just made many men avoid women and not wanting to help them in the work place, it was a witch hunt, i also think, you twisted all that i was saying, my question is why are the women not protesting against men in high places who are the real harassers, who demand sex before job interviews, why are they not after the powerful men? but come to think of it again what are the sellers at the market doing except forcing these young women to buy their clothes

You probably have not been following this individual

wetdick:
because they don't know their rights. in sexual harassment, it is choice you either agree or you say NO, if you agree, then it is your fault but if you stand on your feet and say No and also report to the right authorities then good for you. this are the people i am supporting.

i didnt only talk about sexual harassment in my write up.LOL

This is not a convincing argument especially when it comes to sexual harassment, you can not pick and choose the level of sexually harassment to tackle.

Was the metoo movement focused on those sex attackers on the street?

I'm even worried that you showed up to support him even when he condemned both protesting on the street and metoo movement.

So sexual harassment victims choose to be sexually abused because they did not say no?

The same way some morally bankrupted Nigerians will condemn EFCC for arresting yahoo yahoo boys rather than big political figures but these crooks steal their way to a political position.

BankManager:
Hello Justwise... My cousin is about applying for a Masters degree abroad.. Due to some delay, his international passport is not yet ready..He has other documents complete.. (Transcript, University Certificate,English Proficiency Certificate from his Alma Mater)

Is it possible to apply for Msc abroad without a copy of your international passport??

Which country?

Shanzzy:
Good morning Mr Justwise. I went to collect my visa today. To God be thy Glory it was granted. Thank you so much for your help. But am alittle concern, i applied together with my dependents and on my visa their names was not written and their visa is not yet ready. Please is it the new way they do. Thanks.

Congratulations!

Yea that happens a lot,

GarciaEvans:
Please what’s form A?

And what’s possibly delaying cbn??

Go to the bank and ask for form A for foreign school fees payment.

Killingmesoftly:
Hi Justwise I av been searching for this :_applying for UK visiting visa as a business owner but I can't find it. Please kindly send me the link to make it easier for me. Thanks

An unregistered business owner applying for visa will involve a lot of explanation regarding the source that money.

He needs to explain how much he makes in a month and his net profit. In many cases an explanation without paper evidence is not good enough

GarciaEvans:
Hello Justwise please do you know how cbn transfers international funds to schools.

My uncles been trying to pay for his three kids fees to one university in the UK through cbn

But it’s been two weeks now since he submitted the application. What we got last week Thursday was that they don’t have enough pounds yet that the school should probably expect the payment next week or so.

Does it mean they converts the naira to any foreign currency before making international transfers??

It shouldn't take that long, your uncle should have gone to another bank to pay using form A.

wetdick:
LOL, my reality, i am tired of arguing, i just do what i wanna do and i really dont care how people react. that is my reality.

Your choice of moniker explains why you support sexual harassment

Hello All,

I hope we are all doing great, @justwise @lexusgs430, etc. I was away for a bit for some me time, catching up on everything and I can see the good work hasn't stopped.

Good to read all the visa granted timelines and I'm back to lend my support as well to continue to pay forward the good deeds of the crew on here.

Cheers!!

Good to see you back

They are mutually exclusive!. I hope Nigerians realise that. Yes, we have a problem and we can talk about that problem. Running down your country as "useless, foolish, worst country in the world....... bla bla bla" is denigrating. I have discovered virtually all the times that people who are quick to denigrate the country are terrible human beings, who if placed to lead a community of 100 people will be outright disaster. I was watching an Instagram post where there was a gang war in Nigeria, and the guy at the end of the recording was quick to say , "and you call this a country". Is America immune to gang wars? Is America not a country?
Many Nigerians are quick to call others the problem and not check themselves. Someone once suggested throwing bomb in to the joint National assembly seating ,and Nigeria's problem will be solved and I simply asked if they are all killed, will the new representatives be voted in from mars?

No, those who are quick to cover it up are the horrible ones, those who rather don't talk about it in public are the dangerous ones.

Nigeria problem is a public knowledge, its known world wide because we export it around the world

chinchum:
Africa's problem is not just leadership, followership is also one. Our leaders are a reflection of the followers. It is quite difficult to get a leader remarkably different from the quality of followers. The more the quality of followers improves, it also translates to the quality of leaders they elect to lead them. As a Nigerian living in diaspora, I know better than expecting a magic bullet change. Nigeria will grind out the positive change it wants, and it will indirectly be driven by the populace. I will never subscribe to denigrating my country. I can talk about my country's problem, but will not denigrate it.

They are not mutually exclusive

I don't see the need to add those in bold.

1.Regarding accommodation all you need is tenancy agreement and letter from the landlord/letting agency that the accommodation is suitable for a couple.

2. I don't know the purpose of letters from friends and families.

3. Wedding website is not needed.

4. Priority receipt for application is not needed but you need to write priority on the envelop containing the documents, priority applications are sent with a different bag at the visa centre

HallaDaTruth:
God bless you . if there is one useless thing you will notice about Nairaland , it is full of losers who will use any and every opportunity to put down Nigeria . There are many countries begging to be like us but these losers only see negative things

Which country?

RALPHOW:
Nonsense,
Other African countries envy Nigerians like mad outside the continent.
Honestly our life styles and common sense cannot be compare with other African countries, not even South Africans.
The only problem in this country is just leadership.
I pray we get it right soon and you will see how Oyinbos will troop in to Nigeria for work.
Ebonyi and Anambra States Governors give me hope that Nigeria can still get it right.
It is unfortunate that someone like Awolowo never rule this country.
If someone like Peter Obi rule this country there will be a dramatic change, within a short time.

That is why Nigeria is screwed up and i don't know that African country that envy us

Seeyat:
Hello everyone, please i would like to know what to do. I receive money other than my salary in my account, from as low from 30k to 80k from property

Do i need to include some paper evidence or just an explanation would do when applying for a visa?

Somebody should please enlighten me on this.

You need to do both

Desore:
Good Afternoon my people,

Please correct me if am wrong.

Under the income and savings session

I checked Investment - Since I am running Mutual Funds Investment
and Another income - I have established that i run some services as a part-time hobby where i get between 20k - 80k paid in cash or transfer to my account.

In the
Total amount of money that you get in a year session
i put 4,200,000 which is my annual salary excluding tax (3,120,000) plus my other income 960,000 ( 80,000 x 12 if all things been equal) and investment say i get 50k interest. Making a total of 4.1 Million.


While in the How much money do you have in savings (in GBP)? session
I put 4,914 GBP
I calculated my investments and my closing account balance then converted it to GBP
which is 100,000 plus 1,700,000 respectively equals 2,700,000 ( 5,769 GBP)

I HOPE THIS IS RIGHT, AND HOPE OTHERS WOULD HAVE MORE KNOWLEDGE ON HOW TO GO ABOUT THESE SESSIONS

Nothing wrong with your breakdown but do you have paper evidence to support all the source of your money?

Facelessgirl:

Hi house, i am new to this forum. I kindly need your advice please. A friend of mine from Nigeria want to apply for visiting visa to the UK. He has chicken business he is doing and making lot of money from his supplies. The problem now is that he doesn't pay tax for his business and no personal tax. in Nigeria we hardly pay tax for people doing this kind of trade, one does it as self employed. My question now is will UK embassy refuse his visa for not paying tax in his country? What are the best requirements he can use to get his visa? Please those that are applying as self employed/ business what requirements did u use to convince the visa officer. Must he include tax. Why I am asking all these is that I saw a refusal letter that the visa officer mentioned tax clearance certificate. Please house I need your advice

Please advice your friend to research on the topic: applying for UK visiting visa as a business owner

That will give him an idea as to the sort of documents to submit but not having tax papers makes it a lot harder

Success2011:
Good morning house. I did my biometrics at the TLS office at Ikeja on the 17th of January, 2019. Today makes it 22 calendar days and 16 working days and I'm yet to receive any mail.
As a silent follower of this thread, I've observed applicants been sent mail if the processing time exceeds the standard 15 working days for visit visas. What should I do if I don't get any feedback today? Thank you all.

Send them an email

mamajaz:
Awwwwww, thanks so much for this.

Then realistically you should be hearing from them by Monday/Tuesday next week
