I can remember we confirmed the changes about this a few months ago. The person in question sent UKBA an email, which they replied that the submission date is (now) the date of application as applicants could no longer pay at the visa centre

Fola10:
Please I'm confused o. the Tier 4 guidance notes states that the funds must be in your account for a minimum of 28 days before the date of your application. The date of your application is the day you make the payment for the visa application fee. I understand this to mean that you can only pay for the visa after the 28 day period.

this new information by @bidosko is confusing. Please clarify

Justwise is in Houston... abi them Phema succeeded in arranging a chic for him, this one that he is MIA!

Phema:
. That could very well be the case oo.

alfayeed:
she asked how much we earn
thought telling her about the money in the business account would have been diverting from the question she asked
what can we do now?

Goddey1975:
@justwise if a person can get any of dis countries easily going 2 u.s is wast of money, travel 2 ghana is an added advantage not a wast of money wen it comes 2 u.s visa interview

alfayeed:
From property proceeds which was used as capital and has appreciated overtime.

alfayeed:
they did not even check our bank statements, i had more than enough money in my personal account to finance the trip and we will still have over 10million in the business account when we return.
that would have been ascertained if the VO had requested for our bank statements.

alfayeed:
Gudmorning Justwise
Please, what is your advice in my own case?

Goddey1975:

5years marriage !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
5years marriage with know child or children is a very weak or poor family ties.
please do not see this as an insult,or abuse but the truth must be said.
29 and 32 years married for 5 years with know child or children is consider by USA VO as a weak or poor family ties.
please do not see my comment as an insult or abuse but according to usa immigration law,all applicant for usa visa are judge base on there situation.
from another angle,the VO might think your wife is going there to put to bed and you guys will just settle down there and start your business there, since you guys are the owner of your business .

Hi everyone, Its testimony time!!! Yayyyy!!! After months of waiting, dear visa is here . I was tensed cos hubby wasn't called unlike the timelines I have seen on this forum.

Here's my timeline
May 21, 2015- submitted application online
May 26th - Went for biometrics and was interviewed
May 27th - recieved email from UKVI that they have received my application.
June 8th - supporting documents received by Sheffield. Note that I didn't receive an email to this effect, just the postal delivery report. I thought this as unusual unlike what I have seen on this forum, but hubby told me not to get worried.
And so the wait began, it was a long wait. I was waiting to hear hubby say he has been invited for an interview. For where, no info.
Jul 30th - hubby contacted UKVI via email requesting an update
Jul 31st - emailed response of no current updates. We were asked to provide info for case to be expedited
Aug 2nd - Case escalated
Aug 4th -Email from UKVI stating the application in question is awaiting ECO assessment
Aug 6th - Received an email from UKVI that a decision have been made. I experienced an intense session of heart palpitations. Hubby was not called for an interview and I was so scared it meant a refusal. Most timelines I have read, have that interview and then a positive response. He thought it probably meant our application was well arranged... lol. He was right
Aug 7th - Supporting documents returned to hubby. (we were both confused as d photocopies were returned, but all na tension)
Aug 10th - Email from teleperfomance that passport is ready collection
Aug 11th - Taadah!!!! Passport collected, visa stamped 4th Aug!! Hubby and I are over excited and extremely grateful to God.

Thanks girlfio,Lexusgs430 and everyone for ur contributions on this forum. I hope my timeline helps someone in need of answers.

@Justwise good morning, please can you help me with the right form to fill for spouse settlement visa application, the one we have says to be used outside the UK but hubby is submitting in sheffield, i am a lil confused here kindly help. Thank you.

Thank you but the account is a personal account but also used to receive payment for business sometimes. ..Besides assuming it's a business account and u say we can't use it, don't you think that is wrong? Because if I am going for a training and the company I work with will be sponsoring me is it not the company's business account that will be used?

Then there is a problem...using a business account to apply for visiting visa is not the same as using savings or salary account. He needs to separate his business account from current or savings account to be able to use it for visa application.
Business account is purely for the running of the business and can also act as tie-to-Nigeria when applying for tourist visa but the money in it must not be used for the trip.

Mr justwise, the 2M is the closing balance in the bank statement we submitted, sometimes he has more money than that in the same account, it's a functional account.

tudun:
It was typo error, our budget is 1m and apart from his money, I have my money too of 800k

tudun:
I didn't say we are going with our kids, I said just me and my partner.

obipyper:
Please I need an advice ... Is it true that you can get married officially in UK when you are 16 (with a perental consent ) And 18 without.. I had a girlfriend when I went to the UK around January which I stayed for 2months which we hangged around alot ... And now she is wishing I could stay for a longer period and the only way I could is through marriage I guess and I also have my 2years Visa still valid ... The point is she is 17 and I'm also 17 passport age lol (I'm20 btw) my question is please is there any chance of this happening ...??

tudun:
The total cost of the budget was N1.5m and the N1.5m covers our flight ticket, hotel and some other expenses if need be.
