Hi everyone.
Please I need an advise.

How soon can a spouse apply for visa to join his/her better half in UK for a spouse that just left the country like two weeks ago to live and work in UK?

Once the spouse gets something good doing which can support the family and accommodation,then one can apply after 3 months?

I've read that visa application on their website but I want to get more insight here.

Thank u all.

Justwise,thanks for ur help earlier. Will seek u out at the right time. U really helped me out a lot.(another moniker) and I so much appreciated it. Thanks bro.

They say when you select tier4 student visa and selcet commonwealth shared scholar tie4, the visa application fee is automatically waived.

londoner:
Above....travelling on passport not yet expired therefore expired while IN Nigeria NOT BEFORE TRAVEL



Wanted to travel on a passport which is not valid as it should be renewed BEFORE TRAVEL.

.......See the difference?

I created this account for personal reason, i have been member since 09….

Please i need ur urgent answer, my friend is preparing a sponsored visit for me to US, on his letter he pledge to take responsibility of me and that he will be held accountable for any of my action in the state, the thing here is, he’s married to a white woman, so he’s automatically a citizen… well we’ve paid agent to arrange the necessary documents, we submitted here including international passport, he said his wife have submitted all required documents in U.S, including a surety from his wife friend, because they said his wife must bring a third party to attest that the woman knows what she’s doing… To cut long story short, he said everything is okay now(Between the whole process took almost 3 months) that he’ll be expecting flight itineraries sooner or later from wifey(Also he said after getting everything set, he’ll be traveling to pick me up, we won’t be going same time)… Also, that they called him to come and sign some relevant stuffs as a sponsor in Nigeria US Embassy to pick the documents as well on my absence as none appearance, note, he said his wife sent his number to one man (Yoruba Man )in Nigeria Embassy Abuja that called him up… So the Ultimate Question here is, is it possible for anyone to collect traveling document with stamped international passport from Nigeria US embassy without the actual person presence i brought this up here because i kept wondering the authenticity of this package since he insist i won’t follow him to Abuja Embassy… Please i need a serious contribution from experience person, is it possible?

Be like say u chop plenty akpu this morning nne u get plenty energy. Me still de sleep like dundee.
Anywys Shwein...I admit I was ascerbic in my earlier response ( my part time rudeness ). Yes I have a visa and so? I'll give u the advise my former boss gave me. Don't listen to the tone of the message rather take the (if any) wisdom contained in the message. U refused to listen to advice prior To your interview. U have now complicated your next application. U have blamed every other person nd are yet to apportion any to yourself. Always take responsibility for ur actions. And researchh and do the right thing. Its better. That's my fullstop on this your issue though I still de laff sha

RetroBoy:
Thanks. I will do that.
Does the ECO need proof of the identity or my relationship of who transferred money to my account?

babyfaceafrica:
only a chronic liar will say no crime here,the guy is over-reacting yes,but she needeth not to lie about her age !!!

schweinsteiger:
You're absolutely confused , because right now, i think you need i cognitive therapy or therapist rather,read all my post, 'I have been rational and honest, only thing i refused to review is my main identity, becos i have been on NL before you got wise, just becos i got played due to my nature of trusting doesn't mean i'm daft or you're wiser than me, if i show you my actual earnings, you'll know am not on your category, i choose to be loyal because is a right thing to do if you need something, so mind you!!!

I met a man online 5 weeks ago.As with online relationships, I withheld info and told him the age I have on my id and not my real age.I never expected the relationship to go anywhere, but we fell in love quickly we are even planning marriage. He has found out the truth about my age and is taking it badly.he compares me to his ex who he claims is a great liar and had refused to forgive me.He is doubting everything I ever told him about me and is ignoring me.I have apologized and explained to no avail.we are meeting for the first time next weekend, but he has changed totally. He ignores my calls and msgs and I can't eat or sleep. I love this man and want to be with him.I'd it fair that he has refused to accept my explanation? Its not as if I just picked the age from the air, its the age in my ids.how do I remedy this situation? Do I keep begging him? He doesn't even read msgs.this is his first on line relationship ( to the best of my knowledge) but this is not my first online relationship and I was just being cautious cos I have had my fingers burnt online before. What do i do? I am confused.He is a 43 yr old divorcee with 3 teenagers.I am turning 35 this yr( i don't look it though) i told him i was 32 yrs old.I need advice before I go crazy.why is this age issue such a big thing for him.has he got another woman? I am confused
We live in different places but I plan on going to see him next week .I am confused right now.Help!
P:s- it wasn't a random connection online, a mutual friend linked us up because he wants to settle down and I also want to settle down.She decided to connect both of us.We are going to meet and date face to face for sometime before getting married.
I am not desperate even at this age.I have had my fair share of heartbreaks. God makes everything beautiful in his time.this is not about the marriage, its about clearing my name first.Most people living outside Naija have "football" ages on their passports and other ids.I am not trying to justify myself but he found out the truth from me.I could have kept on lying if I really wanted to but seeing how serious we have become, I owned up when he asked.

Click my profile, you'll see my encounter with a guy whom i used due to the fact i know he has been visiting US, i learned my lesson , cut him off moved on with my life... na em LadyGuinivere & justwise just dey attack me up and down as if them see me for dream
For the record, the money he took from me is not up to half the money i make a month, i trusted someone doesn't make me an idlot or clueless, so why the bitterness i stated here that 8 people out the 10 people were rejected that day.. why do you think mine is different or someone also did same thing to them

abbey1986:
Yes for sure am going to add it for enough evidence and after getting all that will they consider me the visa base on past experience with them.

abbey1986:

Good day to all the gurus in the house,pls I would like an advice on how to go about my UK visa application cos of the bad experience I have in the past...I applied sometimes in 2007 for UK visa by an agent which was denied and I didn't see the refusal letter cos it was arrange by a friend of my mom,my mum has a resident permit in the UK and my Lil brother hold a red passport and they both live there for almost 17yrs but they do visit nigeria every year for the ileya festival..after my 1st visa was refuse in 2007 I decided to further my education since I just finish my ND then so I got admission to a private University and graduated in 2010 went for NYSC and came back so when I couldn't secured a job my mum decided she invite me so we begin another processing in Feb 2012 and I handle it myself but unfortunately I was refuse based on 3 reason,firstly I didn't state it that have been refuse a UK visa in the past 10yrs my reason was I didn't know so my fault,secondly I change my date of birth in my passport from 1984 to 1986,lastly my mum name was changed as she uses another name on her resident permit..I was allow to appeal so I got a lawyer to check into it and he defended my very well with reasonable point and valid evidence.my mom attended the hearing in court 3 times cos we opted for oral hearing...so on the day of the final judgement my mom said the jury were worried that if they allow the ECO to issue my visa they are in doubt that I will return back to nigeria and she try to convince them but they said I should apply a fresh application now or in the future cos I don't have any thing to tie me back home....so now am working with financial firm in Victoria island for 2 years and a month now and am on a salary of 70k monthly,married with a kid and living together...so I want to go on a vacation to visit my mom especially my Lil bro cos he was the one who insisted I should go and apply for a fresh visa,my mom works and she will be the one to sponsor my trip to and fro and accommodate me for 10 days while all I need to just do is source for my BTA of 350Gbp to do some shopping for myself,kid and wife....so please kindly advice me on what to do and what are my chances to secure the visa cos I don't want to be refuse again...though am going to explain all what happen with my 1st and 2nd visa refusal..tanx and looking forward to your great advice.justwise am waiting to read from you

RetroBoy:
I am applying for a visa to write an exam in 2 weeks time. I have all the necessary supporting documents.
I have however had to raise money from friends and family(various sources) to fund the trip.
Do I need some official documentation, apart from my bank statements, to prove the identity of those who sent money to me?
In other words, do I need official proof from my benefactors as per the lodgement in my account?
I have had money deposited in my account over a week and I am applying a month later, which is 3 months away from the test. The money is really for the exam and other expenses and not only for the purpose of getting a visa. Do I have to explain this apparent transfer to the ECO (NB...I work with a state government agency and have only been paid up till October, hence the paucity of money in my account prior to booking for the exam).
Helpful answers will be appreciated
justwise, FrontPageLawyer and other seasoned contributors, your opinions and advice will be welcome
Thanks

I am in the US and I have to travel to Nigeria. I was wondering if I will be allow to enter Nigeria with expired passport accompany with a valid US passport. My friend told me, I can travel to Nigeria with an expired passport as long as I have a valid US passport, but I have to renew my passport as soon as I get to Nigeria or else they will not allow me back into US. Is this a true statement?

I don't have time to renew my Nigerian passport in US as I will not receive it before my trip. By the way, i have the old old old passport from the 90s not the new ecowa type.

Phoenix68:
Hi. Quick question: I have dual citizenship, Nigerian/UK. EU passport is valid while Nigerian passport has crossed the 5 year mark. I usually travel to Nigeria with both. Do you think the not valid Nigerian passport will be a problem at UK airport on my way to Nigeria?

londoner:
One was IN date when used and one is OUT of renewal date.

Do you not see the difference?

The Guru's in the house, I need your guides on my application. I am planning to renew my UK visa (2 years). I have almost N1.7m with my cooperative. I do not have any savings in my account as my money goes into my building project immediately it comes in. I travelled to UK twice last year with my 6months visa. 1st trip, I spent just 7 days and 1month on my second trip. I work in a reputable organization with a salary of 150k, I have spent almost 8 years with the organization. I have N1m in my PFA account as well. I am married with kids. Please, how do I package my account for this application. I humbly await your guide, please.
