My dad receives allowance monthly from my siblings within & outside d country. Please I'll like to know if we need to show source of fund. Also, abt 500k was withdrawn from my dad's acct 5weeks ago and deposited back 3weeks ago. Pls I'll like to know if we need to explain this.
Thanks alot

Yes source of the fund need to be provided

@All


What happens when one default in the monthly insurance payment? Do you get penalized or will your insurance get cancelled?

Ralphlauren & justwise.
Thanks for putting that right. You guys live in the UK.
I am actually aware of the rules, and to be honest, i'm more familiar with the short terms visas, and i must admit that i was of the opinion that (like the privileges associated with Irish long-term visas) the 10 years visa also go with special privileges. My bad...

No worries...appreciate your understanding

sleeknaija:
Thanks so much for this info. I'm thinking of applying for d visa this month. considering wat i've read on this thread, is it compulsory for one to also have a large sum of money in one's account before the UK work visa can be approved?

I just started working this month, so I'm sceptical about d visa issue, mayb it will b approved or not cos I don't just want to waste the little cash I have. Pls I need your advice on this.

Your chances of you getting genuine job offer from the UK is almost zero, don't be deceived, there are so many fraudulent job offers online but you will only be wasting your money.

Remember this....no genuine company will ask you for money before employing you.

Be careful about any email you receive from now promising to help you

molly14:
Oh kk,I've told her, but she wants to know if the 5years will be cancelled. I told her no, cos t doesn't make sense to do but, but all d same m asking, will they cancel her 5 years Visa?.

It will not be cancelled.

femology:
wasup guys.

i have a question i will like to have an answer to. i want to apply for a UK work Visa, please i will like to know the processes that are involved and how much its going to cost me in terms of money. your answers will so much be appreciated. thanks in advance.

You are in the right place...just read this thread for answers because all the questions you asked has been answered already

Hi justwise I need ur help. I had 2 refusal some years back on a student visa. Now am working and plan to visit the uk with my family how do I go about it and how would I avert a refusal based on my passed record though i am not using the same passport as that one is expired.

Hope to read frm u soonest.

Thanks.

Why were you refused on those two occasions?

molly14:
Good day house,

Please I need info 4 my sister. She presently has a UK visitors Visa valid 4 10years, now she has decided to do masters in UK and she also wants to take her kids, 3years and 1year. Will she need to apply for Student Visa? Or she can use her vistors (sorry if d question is stupid). Also wht kind of Visa will she get for her kids. Her kids are both US citizens. Information needed please. Thank u all.

I have to disagree with vicjustice on this

Your sister needs student visa (Tier 4) and she needs to apply for dependant visa for her kids, yes her kids are American citizens but that does not guarantee them a stay in the UK beyond 90days. Your sister's course will last 12 months plus.

OGA JUSTWISE.Tank God u ar back,i no u wont be sentimental lik Thegreengooner and d rest, i want u 2 go and read page 274,u will see where i accused ladyG of calling a contact on dis forum and she claimed 2 b rite ,wy i was only trying 2 assist dose who seek 4 help in filling ds160 an booking appointment cos am of d believe dat not evrybody dat is computer literate wen it com 2 u.s visa,i want oga justwise to no dat am of good intention on dis forum an wil never violate d rules of dis forum,God is in control

I'm afraid i don't think i agreed with you on that, your posting here is becoming suspicious day by day and a lot of people have noticed that.

Please keep it clean or allow other people with good intention to help.

Thank you.

NanaF:
I think that was where Goddey asked for Dmt1981's yahoo account and password / dropped his own phone number in order to help Dmt through his difficulties. I think the post had been hidden now . I think he is a visa agent, I wonder what 'last thing' he is promising them. I hope its not fake visa or stamps on passport

Yes that is correct.

Goddey1975:

What exactly are you going on about?

@waleakins

If you want to send your contact details to anybody here use the pm. Just follow the person then send pm

babyisUS:
Thank you very much. God bless.

All the very best with the application.

God bless.

babyisUS:
Oh,thanks @Justwise for your prompt response. I truly do appreciate.
Please I get that the Application for EEA Family permit is free, are there other things which I would be required to I pay for?
Also, can I include invoices of some gift items he's sent to me over the years,like phones? Thanks once again.

You may be asked to pay for NHS healthcare charge...its about £200 a year, so if you are applying for 2yrs visa its £400.

Yes add the receipts of those gifts it will really help your application.

Used that before...you pay for two hours and the ferry takes you and your guests from one end to another, inside they have unlimited supply of all sorts of food and live music playing throughout the journey.

okay,thanks,vocational skills inclusive right?

You can work with any skill you have apart from working as a doctor or running a business

babyisUS:
Hello everyone, I am new here, the information gotten here are quite helpful.
I wish to apply for a spouse visa this month,i have some questions to ask,hoping I'd get real answers from the gurus here...

My husband is a Nigerian but an EEA member,Dutch to be precise. But relocated to the UK last year December.

1. The name on my passport is my maiden name even though I got my passport this year, we got married two years ago. Will this be a problem?But my husband's name alongside my maiden name are on my marriage certificate.,i also have a newspaper change of name announcement to prove the change of name, ... I wanted to have his name on my passport but the immigration officer told me the space provided cannot take up all my names, hence I had to remove my husband's name....will the absence of my husband's name on my passport be a problem or should I explain in my application why that is so?

2. To get a record of our phone calls here in Nigeria has been difficult as the network provider road me that I can only get three months, ... and I need to get for both the times he was in the Dutch country and also for the recent calls made now that he's in the UK... his network provider in UK said he'd get it in four months,... how do I go about getting it here in Nigeria?

3. I have emails we both exchanged right from when we started dating in 2010, although it is not voluminous but up to 15 pages... we have pictures, though a few,taken before our marriage, I lost most of our pictures when my memory card had issues,so I was only able to get a few. But we have a lot of pictures from our wedding. Will they be enough?

I have some receipts, about 6 to prove money transfers from him, as I lost a lit of documents when my apartment was gutted by fire last year... are these enough?

4. I resigned from my job in January when my company relocated to another city and have been getting support from my husband. Apart from the 6 receipts from money transfer do I still need to show a proof that I once had a job?

Please what other supporting documents do I need? Thanks as I anticipate your reply...
@justwise,pls, I'd greatly appreciate your input...and that of others...

1. With your marriage certificate and newspaper name change print out you will be fine but still use the space in the form to explain the situation just as you did here.

2. Your husband can get his own call history and you can use it in addition to the one you have.

3. 15 is ok and the number of pictures you have is not bad at all.

4. You not having a job is not an issue because your husband is the sponsor, the receipts you have will really help

jonaifame22:
okay thanks!but I can do some lil work while schooling,right,maybe even the barbing of which I already have knowledge of

Sure you are allowed to work part time while studying and more hours during your holiday

jonaifame22:
okay,thanks,so after I arrive there on student visa I can then apply for a document to work and live there right?

Again not really...first you need to finish your studies, get a good result then apply for work permit...but your chances are not great because it's not easy getting a work permit

jonaifame22:
pls advice me on which visa will enable me work live and do business in either country
,

You can't get any from Nigeria...the closest is student visa but it will not allow you to do business, you can work 20hrs a week during term time.

In your situation....you will not be able to get any visa from Nigeria that will enable you to live, work or do business in the UK or US

jonaifame22:
but it could be gotten upon my arrival there,right?

Upon arrival on what type of visa?....what type of visa are you planning to leave Nigeria with?

jobaltol:
Good day

I recently won a masters scholarship to study in a skul in the UK. Five yrs ago, I was denied visa wen I wanted to attend the graduation of my cousin due to insufficient ties to Nigeria and bank statement errors.
Now,while filling d form online, there wasn't enough space to write out al d reasons for denial of visa den, so I was advised to write insufficient ties to Nigeria since d new scholarship doesn't need my personal bank statement...pls I hope, it isn't withdrawal of info...
Also, I was advised earlier on not to seek for accomodation in the skul because it is expensive, so I intend seeking for accomodation outside the campus. So if asked about where I intend staying in the UK, wat do u tink I shud tel dem at d visa office...

Lastly, I rounded up my Nigerian masters programme( did project defense)...but nt yet given certificate/statement of result to back it up...so if asked that wat av I bin doing since graduation, should I tel dem I just finished my masters programme... won't dey ask for documents to back it up...pls am eager for genuine answer...thanks

1. The space in the form is more than enough to state the two reasons why you were refused.

2. Temporary hotel accommodation until you get private accommodation

3. Awaiting results....but what result did you use to secure the admission?

Using a bizness account dt as more dan one signatory....*nd d money exceeded d personal income tax declared

Ok

PRYCE:
wow that's a relief! God bless you! But can you elaborate more on the 'At Once' deposit?

You can deposit the money at once in your account...the maintenance money and your school fees or maintenance money and some of your school fees if you have paid some deposit to the school.

jonaifame22:
cos I've neva been there before or what?

....because you don't have work permit and will not be able to get one from Nigeria.

jonaifame22:
No,never travelled out before,why d'u ask?

Then your chances of working legitimately in the UK is remote.
