Thanks for the reply.

My ticket was purchased by the company sponsoring my scholarship so I didn't really have a say.

I don't have anybody staying in the UK I know of. But like how much difference are we talking about if I get the ticket there?

I really don't know how much you will be charged at the airport but it will be almost double the amount you will get if booked in advance.

Hello Just wise & co.

I would be travelling tomorrow night from MMA to arrive at Birmingham by Sunday morning.

As a first timer, how many hours before my departure time do I need to be at the MM Airport?
What do I do as soon as I get there?

About how many hours would it take me to clear with immigration at the POE (UK) so I can make provision for National Express Bus time-table.?

I'm considering booking a N.E coach from Birmingham to Milton Keynes. Does anyone know if I can pay on arrival or must I book earlier?

This are my questions. Any & Every related answer (or better alternatives) will be appreciated.

Thanks.

The check in time should be stated on your ticket, it's normally 2hrs, considering the Ebola check and all that.

Immigration process at Heathrow airport will depend on how many flights that arrived at that time, it's normall quick though.

If you have somebody in the UK they can get you NE ticket in advance else you can buy one at their office in healthrow airport there though more expensive.
Why do you want to travel to MK from Birmingham rather than from healthrow which is shorter?

really?

Really.

Oh thanks a lot! What if someone has buildings and lands can the coy bank account be optional? Because in my own case my company bank account is not really flowing ie I don't use it often just has a little amount in it for sometime.

No because that is your strongest tie to Nigeria and source of your income, building and lands are not source of your income unless you are into property development or renting them out and getting money from them.

He is not a pastor, it is just a cover up for him to perpetuate his crime and illegality, a genuine pastor will be sponsored by his mother church from Nigeria and all necessary permits and licenses will be obtained, so he is a joker, he will face his music in Malaysia.........

He is claiming to be one

ferdimako:
marriage is hard ...they need that break too.

Never knew they are married now.

Haven't seen ChriGo & missbon for a long time here.

This is the right place to ask that question https://www.nairaland.com/1851578/travelling-canada-part-6/256

@Justwise, I think it's better to submit only personal account because u can't really use company funds to travel because if it's a Ltd he's not the only share holder thereby making him not the only owner the company. I'm not sure I'm just tho I just wanna be cleared too. If he wants to use company account, the board of directors need to have a MOU to state that they are aware of he's travel and also state the amount he would us. Not sure oooooooo, I stand to be corrected.

Company's bank statement acts as tie to your home country, the money in it is not for the trip, your trip budget comes from the personal account.

Yes i still have my old passport and it has not expired yet but still has my old name and so does all my documents except my Salary statement which has my new name.
My personal bank statement has my old name.

Ok but avoid submitting your salary account which has the new name because you are going to be refused and probably banned.

dannywest:
Hi, I've gone through the thread but I'm not clear on some things,

1. I did my MSc last year in the UK but my Visa Expired in May this Year, I returned february Long before it expired
2. I am a business person, I have an enterprise and 2 ltd where I'm a director registered with separate accounts
3. I dont pay myself a salary I just transfer to my personal account when I need money
4. I have extended family in the London though I would prefer staying in a hotel
5. I have an expired Schenghen Visa from Last year.
6. I have half plot land I bought in Lagos and the documents would this and 5 above improve my chances?

I would like to go shopping and visiting/sightseeing this December - 2 or 3 weeks, I would like to know


1. Do I use a sponsor bank account (I have an aunt who I can use with a good account statement) or do I use my company account statement (very irregular)? Which is preferable? Do I send both?
2. Is showing my Hotel Booking or Getting an invitation letter from family in London preferable?
3. Would submitting my CAC documents improve my chance of approval?


Thanks in Advance.

You need to be able to sponsor yourself as an adult, you have to submit your business and personal account, you also need to submit tax certificate and your business registration papers.
You can book hote or use IV, it does not really matter

thezionite:
I only have one passport which still has the old name, i have not got a new passport yet. And my Salry account statement shows my new name

Ok....let me get this right....you changed your name but still kept your old passport with the old name but used your name in your bank statement?

thezionite:
The Last time i applied was in 2012.

You need to submit both passports and a detailed explanation why you changed your name.

thezionite:
Hello house,

Please i want to apply for a UK business visa, i have gone before but this time i did a change of name, my passport still reflects my old name but expires in April next year, all other documents also reflect my old name except my Salary account bank statement which reflects my new name. The question is do i get a new passport with the new name or do i just submit my personal statement along with my payslips which show the same name on my passport.


Thanks in advance

When was the last time you apply for visa with your old name?

somebody who claimed to be a pastor entry the country illegally, lying about his passport and in position of people's facebook details? What a disgrace!

Hello Everyone.
My wife received the decision of the Judge yesterday, and It came unsuccessful. I believe Girlfio and Justwise could remember my story. (I was refused on Paragraph 320(11) illegal Entry and Worked) but while I was in the Uk I made 2 application to regularise my stay. However, the home office has uphold those 2 applications against me. And judge has dismissed the case to favour the Home Office. Please I need your help base of UPPER TRIBUNAL, what could be the "out come" concerning my case at Upper Tribunal.
And I wanna know the chance I have to win at UPPER TRIBUNAL.
I know my case is very similar to "ineedhimbadly'" although, everything was declared on Spouse Application Form and I declared everything about myself on the form
Also, we met all the requirements, even the judge acknowledged it, our relationship is Genuine and subsisting.
I love you my so much and I missed her heavily

Thank you so much and God bless you guys...

Lasmab:
@Justwise.
Thank you so much, and yes, I am the husband. Please, I need your help.

Lasmab:
Everything was declared on Visa Application form and nothing was left out, even I submitted all the relevant document (Letter) to show those application I made in UK. And I declared how I got to the country by my own consent.

I'm guessing you are Ineedhimbadlly's husband?

I was told while in naija to budget 300 per month for acco, and i hear laptops cost about 300 too but if i can get both for less, then i will appreciate

You can get laptop within that amount in Argos http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Browse/ID72/33007795/c_1/1%7Ccategory_root%7CTechnology%7C33006169/c_2/2%7Ccat_33006169%7CLaptops+and+PCs%7C33007795.htm

MallamYahaya:
Hello House,

Good news for me at last! I collected our passports (My wife's, son's and mine) today with visa approved. Effective 23rd September through the next four years plus as I embark upon research leading to the award of a PhD.

I met this young chap today at TP VI. Told me how he's got his luggage in the car waiting for his passport and off to the airport.

He mentioned to me that a certain Mallam Yahaya has been commenting on TP VI. I didn't reveal my identity right away but as I was leaving I whispered to him 'I am Mallam Yahaya!"

Goodluck dude as you go to Manchester.

Special thanks to @Justwise @Kemkem @Spikes and host of others.

Signing off for now.

Gr8 news!, congratulations, wishing the same to those still waiting for theirs.

I'm in talk with the school for February intake.
Don't worry about the date that was stated on the admission letter, keep your head straight, go on with the verification process and focus your way to the top.
I will get back to you on what they decide.
Those sending me PM should stop. If you want to kill this thread continue sending me PM.

So true

@All

Please ask your questions openly here and stop dropping contact details but if you must then use nairaland emaill system.

Thank you.

Good morning everyone. Thanks to you all for the help from the other thread.

I finally arrived here on monday morning and headed straight to luton, uni of bedforshire where i will be doing a top up degree program in nursing. Immediately i came out from the airport, it felt like i entered a deep freezer, was told it only got this cold that monday, though i also hear it is not that cold yet and i am freezing already......lol


Well, so far, i have called job house and they will deliver my application package for NI no application form soon. Have booked an appointment at barclays to open an account. I am still looking for acco though staying with a friend now, saw one online, a couple that wanted to rent a room in their flat, dropped my no, they called asked wat i do and where i am from, told them, the man said he'd get back to me, didnt hear from him again, called him and he asked 'you said you are Nigerian right' emmmm, someone came and viewd the place after i spoke with you earlier and liked the place and has made some deposit....well, my search continues

I need advise on how to get cheap but good laptop, need the small sized ones that'd fit into my handbag, don wanna carry hand bag and carry laptop differently.

Lectures have started and assignments are already pouring in and i intend to take everything academic very seriously, i didnt come all the way to lazy around......though everything still sounds a bit greek to me cos i started from final year since its a top up program and i didnt have my previous studies here, i know it'll take a lil time to understand and get used to

Please, pour in all the advise that will help me in this journey.

Then, any advise for me as a Nurse and now in the Uk......the possibility/how to go about settling here at the end of my program will be appreciated

Cc justwise, spikesC, kingsilly and others

1. How much is your budget for accommodation....?

2. The same with laptop, i guess you want netbook laptop? size 14, 14.1 etc

ineedhimbadly:
@ Everyone - The history of over stayer, who worked illegally and got arrested by the immigration authorities. My heart is hurting so much, everyone knows the reason why a British citizen can not live over there not even there own people want to live in that country. This is ridiculous am lost totally.

Those are not very serious immigration offenses...yes they carry penalties but if they are declared during spouses visa application the chances of successful application is high

I'm suspecting that there is more to the case than those two offenses mentioned. If the tribunal upheld the decision then it means that the UKBA has a stronger evidence about your hubby's offense because spouse visa application in most cases overrides those two offenses you mentioned if they are declared.

British judiciary system rewards honesty even in murder cases, pleading guilty on time without wasting public resources and times reduces your jail sentence. Going to upper tribunal is a good thing if you have water tight case and have declared all your offenses but if the UKBA still have strong evidences against you that you are still holding back facts that is material to this case then its going to be a long battle.

When he was arrested by the immigration did he abscond or deported willingly by the immigration?

I know this is too much for you and i can imagine the stress this is causing you but you and your hubby need to have a good chat and re-access the situation.
