Hello house. I was previously denied based on my financial circumstance. Myy question now is can I build my account by not touching my salary @ all say 3 or 4 months salary. This is because I work with state govt where salary is not paid regularly, such that if I say I want to save for 6months, I might not be able to raise enough money for my account.

Do you have any other source of income apart from your salary?

Achonky:
Hello Justwise and team. I have a challenge booking one-way flight to the UK. Wakanow is advising me to buy a return ticket since my passport only reflects the 1 month entry clearance given(the BRP reflecting the 18 months visa will usually be picked up on arrival in the UK). They said that airlines may not allow me to board if my travel document does not reflect that I have up to a year to stay in my destination country. Kindly share your thoughts and experiences please. Thanks

I plan to use Ethiopian Airline.

Airline will allow you because they know the rule regarding student visa. Can you book directly from the airline?

Achonky:
I reapplied on 7th March and got my visa on the 15th March. Thanks Justwise and Co for your support

Congratulations!

dear house

I need your opinion on my next uk application pls

in 2011 Oct i applied for a tourist visa as a student but was refused based unsatisfactory evidence on how my fees is funded in school
in 2013 May i applied again to attend a friends graduation in the University of Sunderland. the results was negative and these were the reasons
: the ECO made reference to my first application in which i stated i did not have any dependent children and in now in 2013 i say i have

She said due to the discrepancy between my previous application and now she cannot grant me the visa :NB THE MEANING OF DEPENDENT TO MY UNDERSTANDING IS " a person who relies on another, especially a family member, for financial support."

My son was in the custody of my mom back then since i was still having my bachelors


fast forward i currently have travel experience of been to the US with a J1 visa ,Switzerland, Germany, Belgium, France, India and a couple of African countries . i currently hold a valid US visa of five years .

i run my own company now and the current president of a charity foundation

i would like to apply again and spend just a week in the uk before i head to the US come June ..

basic documents i know i have :


company reg
tax clearance
business invoices
business contracts
business bank statement
personal bank statement
travel itinerary
hotel reservation
my sons birth certificate
tour reservation
filled application forms
passports



kindly help me out in explaining the discrepancies in my 2011 application and the 2013 application


GURUS of the house ur humble servant needs your help

That is what you need to elaborate in your next application..that is your understanding of dependent and the reason why you misunderstood that question, basically your mum was responsible for your child at that time as you are still a student.


Though dependence is not just about money, emotional support counts as well

missmalachi:
Btw 400k -700k

He is a rope access personnel n he wants to divert into rigging ec is hs personal plans n not company's own.he is going to uk for the rigging training.

Ok fine, in that case he needs to prepare his application properly by getting two important letters..one from his employer and the other one from the training provider in the UK.

His employer needs to indicate their willingness to allow him go for the training and state clearly that he will be coming back to his job and the training provider in the UK need to state the details of the training and time scale.

He needs to use oanda.com to convert 2months of his salary to £ and budget on that.

Budget on flight ticket and hotel accommodation have to be accurate and not guessed because the embassy can easily verify those.

missmalachi:
No its not multinational



@ frontpagelawyer,he is the one sponsoring himself for the training.2ndly our wedding certificate is that of the church cos we didnt do registry.hope its allowed.
As for my itinerary, its just to stay in hotel room for d period of d training wc is 2wks n later spend 1wks siteseeing.
My husband pays me salary n its into my acct i dont knw if dat can help.

1.What is your husband's monthly salary range?

2. Why is his employer not sponsoring the training?

missmalachi:
Hello good morning to u all,am glad i came across this thread.

Justewise ,frontpagelawyer n other able members.

Is your husband's company a multinational one?

FrontPageLawyer:
Most importantly, don't mix up the visa categories.

Husband: Business visa
You: General visitor visa
Daughter: Special visitor- child category visa.

For your husband, I want to believe he does not have a problem with his own application since the company is the sponsor. The Company’s financial documents, registration certificates, tax clearance certificate, sponsor letter will be handed over to him. But he must also include his 6 months bank statement (salary account), 6 months pay slips, wedding certificate, birth certificate, professional qualification (if any).

For you and your daughter's application, your husband is to bear the financial burden. As your sponsor, he must provide these documents that are to be included in your visa application – 6 months bank statements (salary account) , 6 months pay slips, and employment letter from his company.

It is worth noting that you only need to provide your 6 months bank statement even if the closing balance is N100. You should also provide evidence of your previous employment which must be explained in the cover letter to the visa officer.

For your daughter's application, you should select the “Special Visitor – Child” category when making her visa application. Don't apply as a General visitor for her to avoid delays in processing her own visa. Attach her birth certificate, Father's employment letter, salary account and pay slips.

Also attach to your application; documents to proof your ties to Nigeria, these may be property documents, shares documents, inheritance, marriage certificate, child's birth certificate etc.

N:B: In the additional information page, you should give details of what you intend to do whilst in the UK. If possible, use an A4 paper to outline your itineraries for your stay in the UK.

That is not needed as it will not help her application whatsoever.

Bibra800:
Hello everyone! Hello Again Justwise. I was on here a couple of years ago for help on my masters visa application .I see you are still doing a wonderful job .

I've got a number of questions regarding the spousal visa application. Other than the bank statement and marriage certificate, I read o. The gov.uk website that we are too provide proof of out relationship. What might this be? We have been on a number of holidays together spanning 6 countries. Would pictures of this be fine ? If not ,what else? Thank you

Long time Bibra800, good to see you here again.

Proof of relationship list is endless but they are things like.. Pictures taken together, email, whatsapp, text, call history and other form of chats between both of you. You can also include in that list...evidence of gift given to each other...cash or other material gifts are in that list..etc

mobii:
Hi peeps. Please I need your advice. I submitted my administrative review on the 9th of March and up till date I have not received an acknowledgement email. Do i need to resend or what do you advise?

Thank you

You need to calm down, as long as you sent the AR to the right address or email you should not worry too much about acknowledgement email yet.

safex101:
Good evening justwise

Please I need your advice, I want to apply for a Postgraduate course in UK, I am having problem with the DOB on my passport. Though the dob on my passport is the correct date of birth, there was a mistake on my waec certificate in 2004, I spoke with the Sch owners then and they told me it was difficult to correct, so I adopted the dob on the waec cert. which I had to use for my bsc application then. Right now my WAEC cert. and Bsc transcript bears a different dob from my international passport.

As I write this, I am in NIS Abuja trying to change the dob to correspond with the waec and transcript but the process has been really difficult after spending a lot of money, no headway yet.

My question is, Can I apply for admission and UK visa using a passport that bears different DOB from other documents? If I write an affidavit explaining the issue will that help? Won't it be regarded as false information? I am running out of time.

Thanks

It's really important that you maintain your real age throughout all your documents no matter how hard it is. Age irregularities will affect you in future not just now. Try as much as you can to make it happen

wilkinsonuk:
I have completed my Graduation B.Sc in CSE on 2007. Now my job experience under Digital Marketing Professional (Apx. 5 Years). Can I apply in UK?

To work or study?

Finally...
I was able to make the visa fee payment of $542 using GTB MasterCard of a friend at a rate of N299/$1.

I was told the daily limit for transaction with this particular card was $1000 (don't know if this applies to all GTB cards).

UK embassy provided no helpful advice concerning my complaints in their response to my mail.

Thanks.

Thanks for the update, very kind of you.

@ belloay this is the solution to your question

Seun:
The title says graphic pictures. What were you expecting?

Seun they are not just graphic but complete naked pictures of dead bodies, why would anybody want to see that or even upload it on public forum?

Justbeyou:
Hello Mr Justwise, I have issued receipts for every sale and that tallies with my personal account statement. Is that good enough the convince the visa officer?, also im married. Pls advice. Thanks sir

The issue still remain the same, how would the ECO separate your actual business capital and your profit?

How about opening a business account and run it properly for 6months at least before applying for visa?

hemjayb:
Hello house, I intend to study civil engineering for my masters in the UK, please I need someone to put me through on the schools available and their requirements. I would love to also know if there are scholarships
Opportunity. Thanks in anticipation

This is what you can easily do for yourself or read materials shared already here.

barbiesparkz2:
Ok.

I googled and found these two email addresses:

visa.lagos@fco.gov.uk

Thank you.

Let me know if you were able to make the payment because a lot of people are struggling to do so.

@All

I just logged on now to see those offensive images and removed them

Semilorepupo:
I have the offer of employment as a freelance marketer.l, is that enough? i think d hotel booking was cancelled due to lack of funds. I didn't cancel the booking on my own.

I'm afraid no, it's not good enough, you still need to support that with payment evidence from that employment

Justbeyou:
Thanks for the update, I don't have business bank account, sales money goes into my current account. Pls advice

That maybe a problem because there is no way to know how much Is for your business capital and personal account spending.

Justbeyou:
Hello Good people,

Please i need your advice, I was refused a UK short visit visa a year ago when I was working in a company, due to the fact that I didn't include my pay slips and I didn't specify places of visit.

I have a small scale business (buying and selling) where I'm currently working, I registered it in 2010 and started functioning in 2013 and taxes are paid up till date.

I want to know if it's possible to use my personal current account when applying for a UK short visit visa because that is where money is paid into.

Also what other documents do i need to put together?

Thanks

You need to submit both..your personal bank account and that of your business but your budget for the trip will come from your personal bank account.

Brightingsus:
Hello All,

My Wife got her spouse VISA. Yaaaaay! She kept asking me to check my account to see if the IHS was refunded but I refused. I applied with priority and it took just 3 days for her VISA to be stamped. However while doing this, ensure you have a well documented application pack. None of us was called for interview.

My timeline is as follows:

VISA APPLICATION TIMELINE

19/02/2016 ~ Appointment at TLScontact Ikeja for Biometrics. Paid for Priority Service

Hello Justwise,

I have a little problem with payment.
I was able to pay for the IHS fee of $978 using my foreign debit card.
However, when I tried making payment for Visa application of $524, the transaction failed twice, despite my bank confirming that I had sufficient funds and saw no evidence of the attempted visa payment transaction.

I just want to know if the IHS fee I paid is transferable to a new application if the 3rd visa payment is not successful?
Also, do you have any suggestions about how to make progress here?

Thanks.

I think you should email the embassy about this, the two payments are different so can not be transferred.

Hopefully somebody with solution can help direct you on how to make the payment

Semilorepupo:
Hello Pple, pls I need ur advise as per UK re application. I was refused a 6mnths Visit visa last week despite I have travelled to d US befr and didn't exceed 3weeks. I work in a company and earn 130k monthly after tax deductions. I submitted offer letter, pay slip bank statement and every other thing related to my work including my ID card. My acc balance is approximately 1.7million. I also stated in my form that I work as a freelance for a property firm which I didn't submit any documentation regarding that because I felt since it's just a freelance job. And I don't even have any documentation to bck that up we all no what freelancing means. But to my surprise I was denied a visa because d consuler felt der was no evidence backing that up. I intend to apply as soon as possible but I need guidelines pls. God bless u all.

1. Did you cancel the hotel booking?

2. Do you have any evidence to support your second job?

arowoloaffiss:
But my concern is the personal bank statements don't really have active transactions. we just opened them for salary purposes. Do we need to still include them or just provide the letter of cash payments and payslips. (can't this be sufficient?).

As long as your monthly salary goes in there that is what matters, yes include payslips

LadyGuinivere:
Nice gimmick! @Jw u go church?

I no dey go church

justwise:
You are right..Vlesparza is their rep but she is not allowed to do in-thread ad but i will explain why i did not removed her last post...will do that later as i'm leaving the house now

I left Vlesparza's post not because in-thread is allowed but because people have been directly or indirectly profiling other hospitals here even when those hospitals and accommodation providers have stopped placing paid ad in nairaland but they still get mentioned and sometimes given positive feedback.

doctoresparati has been advertising here for a long time now and its only fair that 'sometimes' they are allowed to answer questions relating to their services.

I'm only trying to strike a balance with my judgement.
