In terms of flight ticket nd its proximity to Estonia, yes l think so.

I will be surprised if the British embassy gives you visa for that.

Ebenezer777:
@Justwise,thanks sir for your reply, the forex account statement is not commercial bank statement, you mean I can print it and add it to my corporate bank statement without moving the fund from forex account to bank..Hope i will stand a chance of getting visa with that? please share more light on this..Because I hope to come and share my success story here to help others in my category. plsss revert

What sort of account statement?

chimaamaechi17:

But for me, UK is d closest nd cheapest. Wot l dont kno is if l stand a chance to get a uk visa as my elder brother is d only sole sponsor. More responses wud be appreciated... Thanks

Do you really think that the UK is closest and cheaper than Other countries?

@ Justwise

Thanks for the good work you guys are doing on this forum. I need you advice on my travel trip. I have been granted spouse visa with work permitted and will be travelling by end of the month.


My questions are:

1 I have booked a one way ticket, is there a problem with that?

2 Apart from my TB test that expired during the application process with me , do I still need any vaccination certificate?

Please bear in mind that i have not travelled to Lome not to talk of UK and I dont want to get caught up with any issue.

One way ticket is perfectly ok.

No you don't need any other vaccination certificate.

@justwise, pls I need ur response on dis... I just got admission in Estonia to study MA International Relations at one of the univeristies but there is no Estonia embassy in Nigeria. I'm aware there is Estonia embassy in London... I am thinking of applying for my study permit at Estonia embassy in London since dey don't have embassy in Nigeria and my elder brother is my sponsor... Do u think I stand a chance of getting d visa as I don't hav my personal statement of account?
Thank you as I await ur response.
I would like other guys to contribute too...
Thank u all!

You need to contact your school to ask them about visa application, they may have other Nigerians or African students that knows how to go about visa issue

Hello Justwise,
Kudos to you and everyone contributing positively on uk visa success on this thread.
Please a quick one Sir, I trade and introduce people to trade on the foreign exchange market,(FOREX) I applied for a training in the uk (training fee paid,hotel and flight) also I got an invitation from the institution that is training me in the uk and recommendation letter to uk from my institution here in Nigeria for the training and I use my own company as sponsoring company for the trip,as a trader i don't consistently run my bank account but keep generating more money in my forex account by way of earning commission on people referred so as a result of that,my company account doesnt have good balance currently and I dont want to lodge money from forex account of $5000 to my bank account so that they wont count it as a lodgement..
QUESTION IS - can I print out my forex account statement to support my bank balance to be use for the trip OR withdraw money from forex account and transfer it to bank and show evidence of transfer or lodgement?

N.B Im going to uk for further training as delegate member from institute here in Nigeria,all expense paid

PLEASE would appreciate prompt response as my biometrics is tomorrow.

No don't withdraw the money rather submit the two bank statements, moving money around now will not help your application

I see, but my friend still has sufficient fund even without the loan just so happened that it was approved early and she had to deposit half of it in her account one month before we applied. Thanks

If that is the case then he needs to explain it in the form

veecee29:
Yes I have both his naturalization certificate and copies of all the pages of his passport.I also have our NOA1 from USCIS.Please information on how to package my application will be highly appreciated.

In addition to those documents you mention you also need to add your marriage certificate, leave letter, bank statement, payslips(6months), evidence of accommodation in Canada or IV. If you have property, car or any other investment in Nigeria you can add that.

It will help your application if you mention the pending US immigration application hence the choice of Canada for the holiday while you wait for the outcome

veecee29:
Hi guys,my husband and I are planning a vacation in Canada.However,I will be d only in need of a Canadian visa because my husband is a U.S citizen.He will be flying from U.S while I will be flying from Nigeria should the Visa be issued.I have a good job in Nigeria,a pending U.S immigrant visa application but no travel history.Please I need to know my chances of getting the Canadian visa and also how best to package my application.
Thanks in anticipation of ur positive response.

Having a good job increases your chances, do you have your hubby data page of his passport?

Benuromi:
Justwise and co, please can anyone who recently apply kindly let me know how you book appointment? Did u just go there after filling application form and paid fee. If someone is applying for spouse visa, how much will be NHS fees? I will appreciate if someone can help me with explanation. Thank u.

Everything is done online including payment, you get appointment after making payment, the system will automatically generate available dates then you select.

Thanks alot@Justwise and girlfio, below are the list of documents submitted during the first application
Bank account statements
Company payslips
Letter from sponsor Company
Wedding certificates
Pictures
Emails
Passport and Biometric card
TB certificate
Tenancy agreement

You need to add a lot more to that list.....

Marriage certificate

Pictures..wedding pictures and pictures before wedding

Means of communication between two of you....emails, phone call history, chats(bbm, whatsapp,viber,Facebook) whichever one you use.

His payslips(6months), his bank statement and letter from his company.

Tenancy agreement or mortgage paper

Your degree certificate

Any evidence of financial support (western union, money gram or bank transfer)

A letter explaining your immigration records from 2012 when you were refused a visa to court cases and their outcomes(this is important)


Don't forget to acknowledge previous immigration offences and apologies for it.

He will be submitting his own documents from the UK while you submit yours from Nigeria.


Like girlfio said you need to cover all aspects to avoid giving them any reason to deny you again.

Don't forget NHS fees, you need to pay that...I think it's about £200

y not gv me other means I can get to u

I don't understand this pm of a thing

You need to follow her first

Hello again. This is really a helpful forum. My question is, does the UK embassy consider personal bank loans as proof of fund? It is clear from the bank statement that said loan was approved ans deposited to my friend's current account. Partial amount was then transferred to her savings account. The initial deduction in March is also clear from the statement. Thanks

You can take a loan to finance your study in the UK but not holiday.

princenonny:
justwise I agree with everything you said except the 6days stay. my first application I said I would stay 10 days bt my plans changed and I stayed 2 months. after which I returned to nigeria. I applied for a new visa and I got it too. so provided you dont exceed 6months u can stay as long as you want

That is not entirely true, if you work in Nigeria and apply for visa to spend your leave in the UK, are you suggesting that you can travel and stay as long as you want?

dafemnet:
Im going to uk for 3 years Phd,am i going to pay the NHS fees for the 3 years before i apply for visa of just 1 yr then pay the remaining when i get to uk

One year first

@Justwise
Yes he does, he earns up to £18,600 per annum.

Ok good, can you list the documents you submitted for your first application so as to see what you need to add or remove for next application?

fazo14:
@Justwise
No we have not done any application since he got his ILR, yes it is the first application we did and he was on Tier 1. What can we do? Thanks alot
@girlio
From the judge rule,I thought same that I am still under the ban. Is it possible that a spouse visa can release me from the ban? I can make application for a spouse visa,but need to know how to go about it and all it entails. What are my chances under a spouse visa? Is there hope for me? Thanks alot

With his ILR your chances are higher, does he earn up to £18600 a year?

rochf10:
Thanks justwise for the input. One last question though, in your opinion, should I go with the immediate reapplication? Or is it better to wait another 6 months? But then again my friends are leaving mid July. Do I still need to submit signed letter from my friend?

If that was the only reason for the refusal then you can correct the mistake and reapply anytime you are ready. I'm not sure if letter from your friend will make any difference but you can still give it a try.

Wicked man.

I'm actually a very nice man

Only trying to help the op considering his budget

Were they operating before?

rochf10:
Yes I did. I withdrew the amount last December and loaned it to my friend with a verbal agreement that she would return said amount once her personal bank loan was approved. She received her loan thru bank last March and thus, I deposited said cash amount in my savings account. It is clear from my friend's statement that she received her loan and only deposited half to her own account as the rest was as payment to me. How do we clearly explain this to the ECO? Many thanks.

Then it's easy to explain. If you are reapplying submit the bank statement marking the date you withdrew the money and lend to your friend and the date the money was repaid back into your account. Do that with very brief explanation pointing out those two dates.

Hi, please I would like to know if there are reputable universities abroad where I can study Electrical & Electronics engineering on undergraduate level with about 500 to 600 thousand naira which can cover for my tuition fees and living expences.

I really need your advice please.

Consider Cotonou.

dotfak:
The card was physically swiped at the two store that the card was used and it was used to purchase gift cards. Funny enough, she never lost her card. She always had it with her all the time. This suggested that the card was cloned. I have always personally envisaged such thing happening understanding that you have to use your card to perform a whole lot of transactions and sometimes you have to call your card information to pay some bill over the phone.

She might have used her card to withdraw money from cash a machine fitted with skimming device, it captures your card details and your pin number, fraudsters then transfer those details to any credit card -sized plastic and use it to withdraw money just like normal card.

Doing simple thing like covering the keypad with your hand when putting your pin number will solve such problem.

Gd day my people,

E Don happen o. Serious gobe. Pls I need urgent advise.

I applied for general visit visa-2 years for my family and I. We have made payment and appointment is Monday 4th May. I just discovered dat on my own application, under d question are u travelling with anyone? I put only my wife's detail and omitted my 2 children details. This error didn't appear on the 3 other applications. And on every other part I put details and cost for d family and said I will sponsor d trip.

How can I correct dis mistake and what's d implication?

Thank you

You can make the correction on the paper form or a note attached correcting the mistake

rochf10:
Hello there. We were just refused entry to the UK due to an explained lump sum amount deposited one month prior to application. We want to immediately reapply with the explanation that said amount was through cash paid by a friend who borrowed money from me (this is true by the way). She is willing to sign a letter certifying such. Should this suffice and be accepted the EVO. Would highly appreciate your thoughts on this. Thanks

Did she withdrew the money from her account and lend to her friend?

Yes it was from UK bank,it wasnt Internet print out,it just wasn't signed, it is original bank statement from the bank in UK. The judge cleared the bank statement as original stating that the ECO ruled wrongly. But the judge upheld the refusal on 320 7a and 7b , and dismissed the case.

So basically since your sponsor got ILR no application has been made? The first application was on Tie 1 visa?

May 2nd here

I need to get disvirgined soon....

fazo14:
Good evening all,I have been out of here a little while now but have followed the thread closely, celebrating with every1 who has succeded in getting visa and praying with all expecting the good news, I was waitING and hoping to come back and share my good news,but sadly I do not bring good news yet, I do pray n hope someday soon. I need advice on what next best step to take. I applied for visit visa severally and was refused, in 2013 used an agent ,however I accept responsiblity for it ,a falsified bank statement was used n I got refused on 320 (7a). In 2014 I got married,my spouse who is my sponsor was on point based, tier 1,so after marriage we applied, for dependent visa, got refused and the reason given was that my spouse bank statements are not originals but Internet print out,which wasn't true they were given by the bank,but it was signed, so we appealed the decision. After the appeal in march 2014, I got a call in may to submit my passport which I did,however upon collection,I wasnt issued visa,instead I was given another refusal note stating that I have been refused on 320 (7b). We then appealed this as well. We got 2 court dates for Feb 2015 for the first refusal about bank statement been Internet printout and April 2015 for the refusal on 320 (7b) we received. In Feb my sponsor went for the first court hearing,and the home office lawyer was particular about discussing the 320 (7b)my sponsor explained to the judge that we have 2 court dated and this was meant for the bank statement not been original,that the next hearing will deal with 320 (7b) more so becos we weren't prepared nor has our bundle been sent, so both hearing was adjorned to April 2015, in March 2015,my spouse applied and got Indefinite Leave to Remain. So we went to court in April, and the case was dealt with, the judge asked questions as well as d home office lawyer and he answered them all,The judge asked if it was started in d spouse application that we had initially been refused on 320(7a) he said yes and the judge asked to see the copy of the application which was given to him,from the court we had hoped to get good news about the decision, unfortunately we received the decision and the judge upheld the decision not to grant visa,and he dismissed the case. Now anyone please we need your advice,direction,knowledge what is the next best positive approach to this,because we are so confused right now and very unhappy.Please any1 who can advice, pls pls pls we are waiting,Justwise, girlio, any1 we will deeply me grateful. Thanks alot n God bless the good work going on here.

There is something that need clearing up here...was the bank statement from the UK bank?

beeflakes:
Thanks a lot. Does that mean she doesn't have to bother with IELTS or sending her transcript to UK NARIC?

She should do that so as to get an official approval
