Unbanned.

bbaby84:
@justwise this was the same reason you banned @ ejisky till next year August but for some reason you didn't see this. Smh

You don't know why she was banned, maybe you should ask rather than making an assumption.

I got my 6 months visa today after being refused last month.
Thanks to everyone in this forum who have contributed one way or the other. I took my time and read from the first page of this thread to avoid asking unnecessary questions and it really paid off. I can actually pass for a visa agent with the wealth of knowledge I gained here. *wink*

Special Thanks to Justwise for taking your time to answer questions here patiently. May God bless you immeasurably. I really learnt a lot.
Thanks to Iblaw for responding to my enquiry.
Would also like to acknowledge 3sha4lyf for the wonderful format for cover letter to the ECO.

Congratulations!

Hello UK app gurus... I hail!

I'm amazed this thread has been here; right under my nose and I've been googling google for answers that I havent found .

My situation is this; I intend to travel to the US in Oct which i recently got a visa for.. However I want to apply for a UK visa for the 3rd week in oct. I began my pp in Aug but never submitted/paid because of uncertainty about processing times and which visa center to use (it will be a shame if my passport gets stuck with them when its time to go to US).

Please what would you suggest I do? Should I bother at all?

Thanks.

That is too close, you should have applied early this month

nunaija:

Do you have your divorce papers and who will be sponsoring the trip?

its not UK , its ireland Sir and my is paid by hand not directly into my account , but i make deposit into my account. sir pls can you explain what social and economics ties means? and in the past years i have also applied for UK student visa 2007 and ireland visit visa 2009 which both was refused. i will be glad if you can be of a help in putting me through on how to package my application.

Social and Economics tie in a broader terms looks at your family and financial conditions


Cash in hand payment is notoriously difficult to prove when applying for visa, so it's not going to be easy.

Maybe you need to start getting your salary paid directly into your account by the company but at the moment it doesn't look feasible.

FrontPageLawyer:
Can I easily change $$ to ££ at the airport in the company UK because I'm using $$ as BTA.

Thanks all.

Worst place to buy any foreign currency. Do it anyway else apart from airport

Hi Justwise


Just a quick question.....please, do you know if students still get the 20hours work permit.

I know i read on UKBA site that the new rule affects college students but someone told me his friend wasnt given.

Wanna know which is true really.

Those that were issued visa after the new rule, were you all given 20hours work permit?

Yes students are still allowed to work 20hrs a week during term time and full time during summer holidays. Though only university students. Not the same with college students

muteEcho:
Thanks Boss @justwise. What you're doing is really noble.

All the very best with your studies.

derbylicious:
I meant getting a hard token here ,then open an account there and then transfer funds to it via online banking activated on the 9ja account

Yes if that is possible go for it

FrontPageLawyer:
Thanks Prof. Will stick to my 21-24. I suffer well well for this visa

Good idea!

FrontPageLawyer:
Thanks Ogreene. Will check out virgin

@Prof Justwise. Is it permissible at POE if I book ticket for 21-27 as against what I filled in application which is 21-24. Hope I won't face questions at POE otherwise will just leave it at 51-24. Thanks chair

Additional 3 days is not really a big deal but be prepared to explain why you added that extra days if asked

@muteEcho


Congratulations

Not only that, most stores in England don't like to give out western union funds but they always want to receive

Western union funds?

eniboi:
Yes I do earn salary.

Then the focus will be on your salary and your tie to Nigeria. Your daddy sponsoring you to the UK for holiday will not help.

eniboi:
I am working in a private school My Dad owns the school. My Dad will be the one sponsoring my trip and all expenses.

Do you earn salary?

Vicjustice:
Easy, just give him your daughter's hand in marriage.

Lol...just seeing this now , I'm a reverend father now oo

Cutebabe20:
Hey everyone, does anyone know any good immigration lawyer / lawyer that's good with embassy refusals,, my story is kinda long, but i overstayed a uk visa many years back, came back home, applied for settlement was refused, divorced now, this was about 5 years ago and I would like to apply for a visit visa now, but I think i need the help of a lawyer to draft a letter or something @justwise, vicjistice, etc, pls help out

Pls advice
Hav had three Schnegen visas after this refusal

Why were you refused settlement visa? What was the reason(s) given?

FrontPageLawyer:
Justwise, Vicjustice, Ogreene, Iblaw. Guess what!!!!!!!

6 months Granted.

@Justwise how can I pay you back for all these. You're my man of the year. GOD BLESS YOU MAN.

I GIVE GLORY TO GOD

Congratulation!, enjoy your trip.

dipsy94:
@justwise, pls my application was tracked and i was told its still waiting to be assessed by the entry clearance officer. pls what does that mean

I'm planning on travelling on the 21st of this month. is that still feasible depending on the level my visa application is in.

It means that your application is yet to be processed. If you don't your visa this week then 21st is not feasible

dat1960chikala:
anything related to social sciences

Let me know when you come up with a course name

ezychris:
Yes i ve @frontpagelawyer. Thanks @justwise
Please your answers have generated a few questions.
1. what are the required documents i should get from my family friend showing that they invited me and are capable of accommodating and feeding me?
2. What documents do I need from my sponsor who is my maternal aunt showing she is related to me?

1. That is the least of your problems, proof of relationship with paper evidence is important...email exchange, chat history/phone call, prove that you have been in contact with this person for sometime now.

The person you are going to visit is not directly related to you so you need to convince the ECO why he is inviting you.

2. Your aunt sponsoring will be a problem, why does she wants to spend thousands on you for a trip to the UK? What will she gain from it? How much does she earn to be able to spend that much on you? Those are questions you need to answer.
