I work for an educational organisation. Been teaching for over 5yrs. Earned 100k after tax. Though the major sponsor of the trip is the company and my family friend in UK who is a citizen. I have a side business as well but not registered with CAC

Hello Everyone.

I'm in the process of filling out a visit visa for my mom to come to the UK for 4 months as I am having a baby in December. My husband and I are both PhD students and I will be fully sponsoring her visit. My mum has not traveled outside Nigeria in over 10 years, so she has a virgin passport. Could anyone please assist with answers to the following questions?

1. Do I mention in the invitation letter that I am expecting a child or do I say she's just visiting us? I ask this because as a student, I cannot take official maternity leave and they may think she is coming solely for child care purposes.

2. For the budget for the trip, I have estimated about £1200 (Return flights - £600, transport around the city - £200, shopping - £300, miscellaneous - £100). Is this amount feasible for 4 months? I didn't include accommodation and feeding as she will be staying with us.

3. My mum can show savings of about 500k. She is in fulltime employment earning N260K after tax. She has treasury bill certificates that are yet to mature though. Will they have an issue with her savings (500k) in comparison to the estimated budget for her trip? Regardless of the fact that she will be fully sponsored.

4. What other documents can she provide as proof of ties to Nigeria?

5. Please see the document list we intend to submit and advise.

Supporting documents (Mum)

1. National passport
2. 6 months Bank statements and pay slips
3. Proof of earnings (Letter from employer/employment letter)
4. Evidence of employment (Leave approval letter)
5. Evidence of savings
6. Breakdown of expected expenses (e.g. flights, transport, shopping, miscellaneous)
7. Detailed cover letter
8. Proof of ties to Nigeria (e.g. pension account, marriage certificate, landed properties)
9. Consent letter from husband


Supporting documents (Me)
1. Photocopy of current passport and visa
2. Letter of invitation
3. Six months bank statements and pay slips
4. Scholarship letter
5. Statement of student status
6. Utility bills and tenancy agreement (proof of address)
7. Birth certificate (proving relationship)
8. Proof of pregnancy
9. Marriage certificate

I'd really appreciate detailed responses. Thank you so much.

Hello house �, if I have someone in Scotland who wants to help me to come over there, for a long time stuff.
Please what is the best route to follow.

We are not related, neither do we have any relationship thing. Just friends and she's way older than I am. And wants to help me, though she's not too strong financially.

pinnu:
GOod day all. I picked up my passport today and my Visa was denied after 3months of holding to my passport.
The reasons I dont have strong ties to Nigeria more so I didn't include my personal bank statement even if the company I work with are the sponsor of my trip. The ECO said he isnt convinced I will come back to Nigeria. Pls @justwise and others.
I want to reapply next month this time I ll include my personal bank statement.
Pls what other documents shud I include thus increasing my chances of getting

Jarus:
That's interesting. I don't put any bank statement - even personal - for visa application for official travels to the UK.

Just a letter from my company that they will sponsor the trip.

DrTony1:
Thank you very much for this reply @legend. Im sorry for your refusal. It must be quite difficult for you

I spotted the mistake of ticking NO to the question: Have you ever been refused a Visa to the UK, on yesterday being 3 days after biometrics, after numerous consultations I decided to withhdraw the application. I signed a withdrawal proforma at TLS. And the said the process will be completed in 48 hrs


Another question I have now is will I still have a problem after the withdrawal process which might be on the 5th working day after biometrics (I used a standard service).

@Justwise please kindly help me out as I cant afford to be banned. Whats the next step I can take too.

Thank in advance house. Bless you all.

Innopre983:
Thank you Justwise. Please those you said they gave same reasons/excuses did the ECO considered their excuses or were they banned. I will also explain in the space provided as you said. Also can my brother explain in the letter of invitation addressed to the ECO that we have lost contact for like 12 years now as I am going to state in the space provided. Thanks

Innopre983:
Justwise please those that gave same reasons/excuses were they banned or what? Please how can I address this to the ECO.

Good day guys, please i have a question .

My parents are living in London And they are
citizens together with my sisters, I applied for visa yearsback but I was denied because my parents were not citizens then,
Now I applied this year and submitted the required documents early August, my dad told me that he received a call from the UK embassy to pay for my hospital bill In London, but he is still not certain that my visa will be approved.

My question is,

1. where will my visa be approved (or denied) is it in the embassy in UK or the one in Nigeria.

2.will I still be called for interview , since my dad got a call from the embassy in UK to pay my hospital bills.

3. What are my chances of getting a visa.

Thanks , and sorry for the long write up.

Innopre983:
Good morning great people in this forum. My name is Precious and i am new here. Please read my write up and i need your advice. I studied in the UK and came back to Nigeria in 2016. I applied for a work visa to the UK in January 2018 but it was refused based on the fact that the ECO said I didn't tell them all my duties when I was interviewed on the telephone. During the telephone interview i was asked if i have any family in the UK and i mentioned one of my step-brothers whom i know lives in the UK. But in June 2018, i met one of my step-brothers we have lost contact over 12 years now at a shopping mall in Lagos and he told me he is now based in the UK with his family and have become British citizens. He said He has been in the UK for almost 10 years now. He told me he would love to invite/host me in the UK whenever I am on leave. My question is this : When I was interviewed on the telephone During the work visa application and was asked if i have any family in the UK I didn't mention his name but only mentioned one of my step-brothers I know is in the UK. Now my step-brother I didn't mention want to invite me now, won't the home office count it as not disclosing a material fact when I was interviewed for the work visa because I didn't mention his name?

Agbo2014:
Hi my good people, I need ur advice on this matter. My brother In-law is a UK citizen and he wants to invite my family for vacation. My wife had visited her brother twice before we married and she went to USA twice to give birth.we have 4 years and 1years boys but we intend to leave the 4 years child with the grandma in our UK application to reduce the trip expenses. I want to know if it would has negative effects on the application. Thanks

TroublemakerPro:
Thank you very much.
my mom and dad are both citizens with jobs,

Greatg0809:
Please someone shud help answer my question , I run a business but have no business account Can I use my personal account for the application and still present my business documents, will issues arise

Phenmeson:
If your visa is rejected, you can appeal.
If your Dad is a citizen, submitting all is documents (bills & payslips) may increase your chances of getting the visa approved.
N. B If he is not claiming benefits from the govt because the govt does not like granting visa's to applicant who will be a burden to them or to tax payer

VeveC:
Very true. Just last month or so an English teacher who equally did her Masters program in the UK was refused settlement visa on the grounds that she only submitted her certificate.

This isnt the only forum i also belong to...its in their rules on the website, if u have a cert frm d uk u are exempted frm ielts or naric and u also hv the opportunity to give a good explanation on the application form..anyone that got refused based on putting their uk cert was a mistake on the part of the eco...

justwise:Please don't drop your contact number here, agency activities are not allowed here.Okay noted. Besides am not an agency I just felt I could respond better on private message. Thanks for the heads up[color=#F6F6F6]O[/color]

Predstan:
Justwise is coming to close this thread and direct you to General US student VISA. I await his action

carnal:
first reason was incomplete documentation - i misplaced the consent letter during my ups and down at TLS
second reason - apply as same category or be in UK at same time or show evidence of sole custody/responsibility.
My other concern is that he(the father) contributed some huge amount into my account and the name appears??though he already has a visa.
but iget your advise clearly now,take him out of the picture completely, right

Have arranged for a carer via my project supervisor, what other care do you advise i arrange

carnal:
thanks you @ justwise,my apologies that am over stressing these,my daughter has been denied twice and have spent lot and its really hurting.my last question, do i need to swear any affidavit claiming sole custody/responsibility to support these?
