Thanks for your prompt response @justwise. I'm married with 4 kids but travelling alone. Account balance is expected to be BTW 1.5m and 1.7m.

Hope this is still OK?

Ok though the ECO may question why you want to go on holiday without your family to spend such amount considering your family responsibility at home

Some Nigerians who absconded to other countries after traveling to Russia for the 2018 World Cup tournament, are now calling on the federal government to come to their aid. According to journalist Sapele Oghenek, the Nigerians fled into other countries from Russia in order obtain Schengen visa - with two dying in the process due to the cold weather.

It was reported that the group of guys paid N17,000 for a night just to hide themselves so that they won't be caught by security agents there.

It is said that when one's money finishes, the same foreigners who collected money to protect them from the police, will later expose them to the authorities.

Some Nigerians who can't afford the money per night, are said to be sleeping on the streets and also begging for money for food.

Due to the hardship they have experienced in the past few days, the group of guys who are staying in one room - decided to contact the journalist in order to publish their story so that the government will come to their aid.

Such a useless story and lies.

DoggieStyle:
Justwise why not delete everything that has to do with his posts starting from his first comment on my post since it wasn't directed to him and I don't need his opinion.

You deleted my posts and some of his, leaving some of his posts that i find offensive. Please kindly remove everything if you are not backing him up.

How about stop derailing this thread? If both of you do that then i don't have to come here to delete any post.

No more of this silliness here please

This girl deserves a medal.

BlessPJ:
Flight ticket 400k
Hotel 70k for two weeks
Transport within the city 40k
Feeding 50k
Little shopping 100k
Other expenses 100k
This are my break down expenditure.

Did you research the cost of hotel in the UK before allocating 70K for hotel accommodation for 2wks? That amount is far too little

Shopping is not part of the UK visa requirement so its not necessary to add that in the list, better to leave it as extra cash available to you

TheExalted:
Yes, London or Birmingham.

Oyster card can only be used in London, if you are not married with kids then your list is ok

You need to list places you want to visit in the UK/why you are visiting the UK

Bratva:
My kid sister (age 16) was refused a visit visa, i have attached the refusal letter, please advise on the best option available.

The refusal letter is pretty clear why the visa was refused, they did not include a letter of consent from the parents and no birth certificate was included too

Lexusgs430:
The long and short of this matter.... Tell her to put her financials in order.....

Payment of cash in receipt of services, is an illegal activity....

If she is still self employed, as my Oga's have eluded to. She needs one year to organise all her documents and apply on the 13th month (for reference)......

I'm not sure about that bit..can you explain?

Johnwisdom1032:
Please @justwise and others in the house, I need your help urgently.... I'm married to a U.K. Citizen and we did the marriage here in Nigeria at ikoyi wedding registry... it's now time for me to apply for settlement visa.. but the problem is that my wife work as a personal instructor in the gym and also for private clients but as self employed and no p60 but she pay her taxes and also declare her yearly income too... please my questions are ...1. What type of documents can she summit instead of p60? Or can she get p60 as a self employed?
And another issue is that I stop school for my business here in Nigeria and never get the chance to complete my uni...just want to know of that will be a problem or I'm good to go...the third question is that.... she no get payslip but she can get her statement of account and also sometimes she collect cash from her clients..please what can we do?

Ask her to contact HM Revenue & Customs for her p60 or any document that will state clearly her gross annual income.

Normally you receive that after April 5 of every year.

Another you need to do is to google UK spouse visa financial requirement and read Self Assessment section of that document, it tells you everything you need to know.

Pacmandude:
Thank you Justwise for your reply. I had wanted and still want to reapply (priority this time around) but i need to retrieve the Tb and english proficiency certificates back because without them i can not reapply. My wife was told that she needs to present the TB certificate (which was valid at the time of submission and now has expired because of the long wait of the appeal) to get a new one at the clinic specified by the Homeoffice.
No i have not used their email services but that is not a problem to get to use it.
My wife is writing them a letter today, asking what is delaying the appeal. We feel also we should write them to suspend the appeal and for them to return the documents. Hope these are in order? Awaiting your response. Thank you.

oxygyne:
Damn, I can't even imagine how frustrating the wait will be without any meaningful update from the tribunal/home-office.

But on a side note:
1. Is the applicant in possession of his/her passport?
2. If the previous TB certificate (6 months validity) has expired, why not just go get another test done and get a new certificate.
3. (caveat) I did not write the English test but is there no way to get another copy of the certificate? I saw this somewhere online:
Candidates who wish to use their IELTS result for immigration purposes
If you wish to use your IELTS test result to apply to Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) or United Kingdom Visa and Immigration (UKVI) you can request one additional copy of your TRF from your centre (two in total). Proof of your application to CIC or UKVI will need to be provided.

My guess is, if you have these three documents then you should be able to reapply while waiting for the tribunal.

oxygyne said pretty much what i wanted to say regarding some of your questions so consider it.

Pacmandude:
Hello Justwise. Please I need your advise. My wife and I have waited the 3months duration given to us by tribunal.Till date no information from Homeoffice, none too from Tribunal. When I called Tribunal was told since there has been no response from Homeoffice and the time given for response has passed it means the case will automatically move to listing where a paper hearing will be done. I asked when this will take place i was told they can't say but will be notified the date of the hearing. This date could be whenever.
What will my wife and I do now because the date of hearing could be whenever? Secondly we need to retrieve the TB and English proficiency back because this matter is taking too long. Awaiting your reply, thanks

Honestly i feel your pain, this is the frustrating thing about tribunal cases because there is no timeline and the waiting is endless sometimes.

How about reapplying and deal with the reason(s) of previous refusal?

Regarding those documents you just have to keep emailing and calling them, have you paid for their email services before?

Post this in US visa thread

https://www.nairaland.com/4585953/immigration-suspends-90-biometric-visa#4585953.1


The Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), has suspended the collection of $90 biometric Visa-On- Arrival policy it introduced about two weeks ago at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos.

Aquaman84:
Thanks justwise, I'm so excited! not going to England but visiting my girlfriend. I don't know you personally but I feel you had a big role in helping me get my visa, including ekpotek and vicjustice. I'm gonna propose to her at her family home, and hopefully she says yes lol. This is someone I've been with over a year through thick and thin she's been there, just know you didn't just assist with my visa but you assisted in making me the happiest man in the world. Nairalanders may all your dreams come true. Amen

I’m glad it works out for you and you have more time to build your immigration profile so don’t ruin this one.

All the very best and I hope she is the right one for you and you get a YES.

Smile4mee01:
Justwise aND other experts.

Just got admission for MSc University of hertforshire. Don't know much about it though. My Big Brother has agreed to pay full tuition. But to get the visa I need to show in my account I have living cost for the duration of the prog. An agent told me I would need to show about 12,000 gbp. I have only 8000 gbp saved up. Would getting a statement of account from my brother in the UK add up.

Any idea what to expect around hertfordshire? What accommodation type would you recommend?

Its not £12,000, you need £9.135 but you can't use your brother's bank statement for that.

whyqueu:
Oga justwise, this same issue happened to me when I got my visa. if you check my profile you could see that the same issue that occurred during her Visa interview happened to me but just that I was lucky and she wasn't ..which I really want to help her should in case she's willing to go back for the interview.

I must want to give back to this thread because this thread gave me a platform I will never forget

So why not do it openly here?

whyqueu:
Send me PM .... I think I'm interested in your case !!

Why?

Aquaman84:
@justwise @ekpotek @vicjustice I must first thank you guys for my visa success, you guys hand a big hand in it. I want to ask bosses, its my first time and I'm a novice, my application states I'm spending 2weeks, if I stay 3weeks or a month is that bad? Or I should not stay more than 3weeks?

They gave you the visa in a good faith so don't let them down and ultimately deny yourself next visa application.

This is your first time and hopefully if things works out you will be applying for more important visa in future, so don't ruin it for yourself.

glam12:
Hi epotek,
Thank you for sympathising.

It is not the case of a mistake on the form o.

I submitted documents from the training institution as well.

I dont know how to get on from here.

or Can i appeal?

Please Can you advice me?

Or can i get ur email address. perhaps we could communicate...

Thank you.

Please lets not start this here as it will kill the purpose of this thread.

Predstan:

Justwise you need to ban this guy

Even if he's joking. Lol
Let's start from him

He is immune from ban, i tried but computer says no

Ameera2018:
Please with regards to the TB test must one go with their international passport?? My passport is currently stuck with the American embassy and I need to do that TB test urgently before a surgery next week that won’t permit me to have an X-ray post recovery. Please what do I do ? I have been trying to reason with them but to no avail. The only evidence I have of my passport being with the American embassy is a DHL acknowledgement slip bearing my passport number as I submitted via drop box.

Please justwise n other gurus in the house please advice

Your passport is needed for TB test definitely,
