Hello all,
Really need help here.
I work for the ministry so not a great amount of pay, my brother and sister is in the UK and i was hoping to spend some weeks there with my hubby.
I have been to the UK before.

My brother is sponsoring the flight, accommodation etc

He provided all supporting statement, bank details, pay slip, mortgage etc.

i added my savings and current account statement, issue is that i receive my salary in one account and move everything to a different account, one of my statement showed account balance of N500 because the money was moved to the other account.

I got refused because it shows the account was low.

can i do the following?
1. reapply saying he is sponsoring everything so no need to submit my statement?
2. reapply without showing the account that the showed the low balance?

has anyone been successful for applying for visit visa stating full sponsorship by relative abroad without adding any person bank details?

Thanks

Can you list those documents you submitted for the application? Not document from your brother but those coming from you.

Hello my people in the house,please i need you advice on uk visiting visa application. i have applied for UK visa twice but got denied both times. The last was 2014 since then i haven't applied. what really happened was that my dad resides in the UK and he got a green paper.At the same time i'm having a guardian in the UK who is my dad teacher in Nigeria in the 1960s a white-man with British identity my dad reside with him in the UK. he wants me to visit him in the uk he is the sponsor er of my visit to the uk so he will responsible for my all my financial responsibility in the uk although he was the taking care of my welfare and education in Nigeria he plays a fathers role.but the British authority rejected my visa then saying i have no social economy tie to nigeria that there's no probabilities that i will return after my visit to the uk. then my dad and my guardian sent all the required document like bank statement of account worth of 80,000 pounds. they said i don't have asset in nigeria but i don't where they expect a student like me to have asset since i am not working i'm only a dependent(i have enclosed a copy of the refusal letter)
Now i have just concluded my university education waiting to go for my NYSC in november 2018. but i wanna visit the UK for my holiday till november which i will come back for my service. i have spoken to dad and guardian about it he has agreed to financed everything and send all the required document to me. but the problem i'm having now is that my finances are not stable i only got 45,000 a month for my allowance from my guardian so i don't have so much saving since i don't have any work. please i will really need your advise on what to do about getting this visit visa. waiting patiently for you advice on this issue thanks

The ECO does not believe that you will return back to Nigeria if given a visa because you don't have a strong tie to Nigeria.

Its very difficult for a student to be given a visa especially if you are not a teenager or from an above average family

Thanks so much @justwise. A friend mentioned to me today to consider possibility of submitting mum's application when she gets to US and submit dad's own here in naija. Do you think someone on visiting visa in the US can make such application?

No because she doesn't have a strong tie in US

Please do I need to book appointment at vfs abuja to submit visitor visa application?

Secondly,after printing out the application forms do I staple them to supporting documents?

Thirdly, pls what is the address of the visa application centre in abuja? Would I pay extra fees for the submission?

Have you completed the online application?

Don't staple them because they will be scanned at visa centre

House please, my uncle and his wife applied for a 6 month UK visa and did Biometrics on the 13th of Feb, 2018. The application was received in Sheffield on the 15th February and up till now, nothing more has been heard. Its taking too long, what can be done?

PS: They applied to visit their daughter and her family, she is presently undergoing her PHD program in the UK and is a Temporary Resident. She is due to give birth by early April and they want to travel by then.

Some applications stay longer than this though people still get it sooner. Only way to find out is to contact them.

Good day all,

I have an issue and would like people to contribute based on trends and recent info. Would like to apply for UK visa for my dad and mum. Mum is booked to travel to US on the 5th of april. I have just received all supporting docs from their host in UK so submission and biometrics i guess cant be earlier than Monday.

I also checked details for expedited applications and i am not sure their case qualifies for it to be expedited (please correct me if wrong).

Though mum has been to UK before but dad hasnt. Mum has a US visa as well but dad didn't apply for US visa. I will package the application together as family since they are visiting for same purpose (cousin's wedding).

Now my question: from recent scenarios, do you think we will get passports back before 4th of april? Is there a category we can fit in for expedited? If we dont receivevpassports by 3rd of april, is there anything i can do?

Biko, kindly assist if you have answers for me. Thanks in advance

4th of April is about 3weeks away so it's going to be tight, only if you want to use super priority which is very expensive but you will get your passport before 4th of April.

@Frankrobbn1

Please do not coach people on how to lie or withhold info in application form, this is not helpful and i will not call you out on this again.
