Thank you for your reply but my mum does not send me money and i did not mention her at any point. I only filled her details and my dad's under parents' details. I presented my bank statements highlighting all monies in my account from brother every month and school fees paid by him. To be honest, maybe the ECO was on something because clearly he or she did not look at my application at all.

reDazey:
The word on the street is stay away from all these supposed benevolent offers of a cheap GRE/SAT/TOEFL price.

I can remember this starting as an offer of help to some test-takers. Later, somehow it has grown to a full fledged business. The ironic part is I can't wrap my head how someone can afford to pay such a very low price for these exams. If it stinks like fraud, it is fraudulent.

To all those supporting them, your test scores might be okay right now. How about months from now? Scores can be cancelled at anytime. And you would need to pay again. Please, don't be shortsighted. I am saying this for newbies.

So my mums visa application to come and visit me and my family for a one month visit to see her grandson (5 month old) on holiday was refused.

Attached is the refusal letter.

She is not a first timer. She has visited us in the UK before back in 2011 to attend our marriage blessing (wedding) and she only spent two weeks which was what she quoted on her application form at the time.

Here are the documents that I submitted:

1. Invitation letter
2. My British passport
3. 6 month pay slip from work
4. My Son's birth certificate
5. My current account statement (with balance of less than £100)
6. My Savings account statement (with balance of a little over £7,000 pounds)
7. My wife account (where all our household expenses are debited from)

8. My mortgage statement (to prove my residence)

9. 11 months worldremit money transfer receipts (I send N50,000 each to my dad and mum every month for their upkeep.
I also include a money transfer receipt from february this year showing that I sent home money to pay their rent at the flat that they live in).


My mum submitted the following documents

1. Her bank statement (that reflect the monthly 50k money transfer I do through the agent into her account every month)

2. My dads bank statement (that shows that I send the same amount to my dad too)

3. A letter from my dad stating that he is giving permission for my mum to visit us in the UK for one month

4. A copy of my dads passport showing that they bear the same last name (they don't have a marriage cert. They married under traditional marriage)

5.

In the invitation letter, I stated that I will be funding her trip from Lagos to Nigeria to heathrow and to my house and back to Nigeria at the end of the trip using the money saved in my savings account (i quoted the account number).

I also said that my parents are dependent on me and I send them regular stipends (with the money transfer proof and their bank statement to show it) as they are older (dad is in his 70''s) and do not have any form of income like pension.

I also mentioned that she will be staying the entire trip at our residence. And i mentioned that I have earmarked the sum of £3,500 out of the funds available in my in my HSBC savings account for her trip.

I gave a detailed budget below:

Flight Ticket and Airport Transfer £1,000
Grocery/Food shopping £600 (for four weeks)
Visit to attractions £500
Stipends (for her to spend) £750
Travel Insurance £150
Miscellaneous £500

Can you good people in the house help me look over this and suggest what I can do to resolve the issues that the ECO raised. Thanks.

churockng:
U are right I think the UK savings account is not easily accessed unlike the Nigeria Savings account. Cos they have no issues when u provide a savings account here unlike the UK

Endlessgrace:
I have said it before, the VO most times do not consider funds in your UK savings account when they process visa applications. To them, funds in a savings account is not readily available to you so they will only consider the balance in your current account which in this case is already in debit as stated in the letter. This i feel is the major reason why she was denied the visa.

Good evening all, ardent follower of this thread. I apologize for the potentially long post. God bless everyone for their good works and thanks @justwise for creating this platform.
I am a student in Europe, full time. my school is now on break and I applied for a UK visa to spend time with brother and family last month. Unfortunately, my visa was refused AGAIN for the second time in 6months. for the latest, I was notified via email with a PDF attachment yesterday. I have not received my passport yet.

1. Applicant’s current original passport and copies of other passports with my travel history-visa stamps
2. Applicant’s proof of legal residence in study country (residence permit)
3. Applicant’s confirmation letter from school stating student status and holiday period
4. Applicant’s student ID and academic transcripts.
5. Invitation letter from brother.
6. Brother’s bio data page and proof of legal status in the UK(He's a British Citizen)
7. Brother’s 6 months bank statement and council tax bill
8. Printed online application form and checklist.
9. Applicant’s bank statement of 6 months.
10. Applicant’s housing agreements (for my flat)
11. Applicant’s study agreement.
12. Applicant’s chat history of about two years with my brother(217 pages).
13. Some pictures of me with my brother and his family
14. Cover letter explaining ANYTHING that may not be clear and my holiday plans to go shopping, sightseeing and so on. my brother stated I'd have 2000 pounds to spend on my holidays.

PLEASE NOTE- I did not mention my "mother" at any point except for the part of the form that stated parents details. My mum is retired and my brother has been responsible for me. This is a serious oversight from the ECO just like in the first refusal where he said i did not plan to stay with my brother which i clearly stated otherwise in my cover letter and application form. I stated i was a non-working student and all my expenses are FULLY taken care of by my brother with proof of my bank statement with money transfers from my brother which I HIGHLIGHTED. Why are they referring to him as a UK Sponsor? He is my eldest brother and also included both our birth certificates. i have no right to admin review and my brother plans to call and send emails to them for this oversight. Cos i am not sure my application was looked at at all.
Please I really need your opinion and insight sirs @justwise @ekpotek and all other gurus. THANKS AND GOD BLESS!

thanks and best regards...as i'd like to receive a quick response.

sweetrie:
My husband is trying to apply for a business visa to write PLAB 2 exam. We are thinking of applying for 5 days though he has to stay for 25days(classes and practice) He has no travel history. What do you guys think? Can a first timer spend more time than what was initially mentioned? Very confused now

When I complain 3 people didn’t pay in Naira did you respond ? So I don’t have any words with you.

If they have payment issues it most be from my previous payment which I cancelled when those people didn’t but pay in Naira and If they haven’t seen their result why cnt they tAlk to me ? Instead of coming here to make unnecessary drama.

YOU CAN SOLVE THE PROBLEM FOR HIM DUDE!! And Don’t unban me keep it to yourself dude...

PUBLIC NOTICE


This is to inform all candidates that registered either of the tests through me to ignore the accusations by brightdocare. If anyone have a complain I believe we have a platform we used for previous communications and they can always reach me there. I respond when I’m able because I have lot of people to attend to. Patient is a key! No one is interested in taking what doesn’t belong to him.

For justwise I will advise you always make a proper investigation before typing. Yes we know you are a moderator. We thank God for your life. But I was on this same platform months back to complain about 3 individuals that got registered for test without paying in Naira. You saw it and ignore but now a individual came online to lay a false accusation you jump like a rabbit. justwise you need to be wise in discussion making.

I choose to ignore brightdocare and I still won’t answer his complain or respond his email until justwise unban me on travel thread because I did nothing wrong.


There’s no way error or issues won’t occur sometimes but come to think of it how did brightdocare sit for an examination they didn’t receive the payment ?


I have been receiving several mails from client asking if they are safe. I’m using this opportunity to inform you all that you are safe and if anyone have a complain. Please kindly email wlincoff@aol.com...

After celebrating Nigeria victory against Iceland, I check my account to report my score and I noticed that I have been scammed. I suspected this guy to be a fraudster. Now I already travelled before noticing this. My exam is tomorrow morning. When my mom and sibling were rejoicing when I told them about the payment. Now How do I explain this to them. I will write tomorrow. But how can I pay $195.
All is well

FAILED GHANA TRIP


Infact before the Ghana trip, we were been told that Ghanaians didnt want us as Nigerians as we were always fond of misdemeanor


The herbalist president of GCA claimed he had to beg for the authorities to agree for us to visit


Now i am wondering how he has helped improve Nigeria image with his fraudulent and criminal act



As i type the amount of emails hitting ACA in America about this bursted scam has made them to withdraw GCA franchise with them as they can see it has been abused.


Which way forward Nigeria......must everything in this country of ours be a scam?

Firebomb:
Greetings all.
I am so glad I found this thread as I will be needing wise counsel in my visa application process. I was awarded a scholarship worth £35,304 (of which £20,904 goes to tuition and the rest - £14,400 - will be put towards maintenance and living). by the London School of Economics to pursue an MSc programme this fall. I have also just received my CAS to proceed with visa application. However, I do not even know at what point to begin the process. Be kind to guide me through it seeing that many have gone through this platform and have emerged successful. I will be eternally grateful for your coaching.

@justwise, this is noted. I’ll suggest you also help this people that get denied and want to get their GCMS note by stating a link that will be adopted as the standard for this forum. That way, no body will advertise any other link. People come here for help and they should be able to get it else the purpose of this forum will be defeated.
Just my suggestion
