ernestleon: That's a lie,he made his statement for the future not for the present.

MrsBee: @Justwise, please you are yet to respond on my own situation.

leeon2011: @girlfio @justwise

Can u give me what document I nees for put new settealment file

Plz give me doccument list

my wife working in uk

komakan: You are putting it to me. I didnt bcs im not a consular officer,this is why i dont say what i dont knw. The fact is that he pronounced himself as visaofficer to the public as to confide in his authenticity statement but he later fumbled.

princessmoi: i have paid the full fees so its only the maintenance fee of 7200 i had to show and the money was complete in my account on 31st of july, it didnt go below the required amount, transaction was made on the 27th of August (salary was paid in) and on the 28th i printed out the statement and applied the next day 29th.

Honestly i really did go through the links and went through this thread from the beginning i got all the info i needed, i did asked about the 6mths statement but i guess u didnt see it. The bank was ready to print out just 28days but some1 said it was ok. i feel so bad right now.

ernestleon: His statement was made on the 23 of August 2013, he openly said if there will be dv 2015 under current rules Nigeria will be eligible.I guess he got the information from himself not from a reliable source.The so called rumour from Wikipedia has been proven true and correct and of course like you said he cannot rely on a rumour from Wikipedia he should have kept quiet and wait for official confirmation.

komakan: No. That was not TRUE he was being realistic that according to the statistic for the past five years, Nigeria has not exhausted up to 50,000 which means he was sure of her eligibility.

princessmoi: i told them i need a statement of just 28days but when i received i saw a 6mths statement, was kinda confused though and i asked the question here and some1 said its not a problem, justwise i am worried now o.... please advice please

ernestleon: This is real sad news.Visaofficer has made himself unreliable by saying otherwise.

okeymen: what did Visaofficer say about DV 2015? did he say Nigeria will be eligible?

komakan: Exactly! And that was why I emphasized on official announcement, being an officer does not guaranteed ur reliability.

princessmoi: Yea( indicating I've been banking with them etc etc thought it goes together with the statement?) plus a six month bank statement print out but I just realised it wasn't stamped.

princessmoi: Justwise, someone mentioned bank statement and I just realised that mine wasn't stamped [b]but the covering letter was signed [/b]a bit worried. Is there a problem?

rakisha: Good morning everyone. Pls can anyone help me. What does this sign mean? I was issued a UK visa in one of d free visa pages but when I checked the last page, I saw this. Pls help. Thank you

komakan: where?

winzie: am a British citizen, I really missed my younger brothers and sisters. I think I will be a happier person if I have one or two of my youngers brother and sister here with me in the uk. my question is can I sponsor them to come to the uk as a dependant to me? do they stand a chance of been granted a settlement visa to enter and remain in uk?
please a honest advice, thanks

liliana: I think it depends on their ages as well as you having a good job to cater for them without recourse to public funds. I suggest you check the UKBA website for more information. You will need to convince the visa officers that they (your siblings) are better off with you. All the best.

ferdimako: For Nigerians, marry Ghanians to move on with the applications.Hahaha.Make some folks no die oh!

VisaOfficer: FYI, Wikipedia is wrong about this. I'm a Consular officer and I can attest that the threshold of 50,000 visas in five years has NOT been met in Nigeria. If there is a 2015 Diversity Visa program, under current rules, Nigeria will be eligible.

ferdimako: There'll be DV 2015 but not for Nigerians. http://travel.state.gov/pdf/DV_2015_Instructions.pdf

komakan: How do you knw it is not TRUE?

Kiran14: i been in uk previously so may be thats y they called me for interview .i back to my country when we lost the college licence but home office never send any kind of letter.i think they want some clarification about this.

Adegokenath: DV2015 WILL START IN OCTOBER UNFORTUNATLY NIGERIA WILL NOT BE ELIGIBLE SOURCE ASK GOOGLE. Our hope is on second batch winners in oct

target007: Hi Guys, my wife received her visa today and it was a refusal...we are very devastated about this news. I have not gotten the scanned copy of the refusal letter yet but here are what I can picked up from the phone discussion with her:

They gave these reasons:

1. We met for the first time and withing seven days we are married but never put into considerations the fact that we have been communicating daily over phone and internet.

2. That my divorce was recently finalized and I went to get married but I went through divorce for a 13 months. What are they talking about?

3. That I my telephone call logs does not have official letter from the card company so cannot verify that calls if it's true or not.

On the basis of the above does not believe my our marriage is genuine so refusal

I will post the details when I get the scanned copy but I am very grumpy and devastated fella right now.

@Justwise, JohnWray, girlfio, and others What do I do guys?

I know I will go appeal but can't think right now... any ideas of what argument(s) I can put in right now please?

riteaide: Depending on who is looking at it, and reasonable facts, an adult can have a sponsor. Having said that, that adult must of course give good reason for not being able to sponsor themselves/or why the sponsor has offered to. No flimsy stories will do. If there is a genuine reason and a sensible one at that, apart from medical reasons, it is definitely doable.

This is not to mislead people, I would totally recommend having the financial ability to sponsor one's own travel without having need for a sponsor, but if there is a reason they can't, they can have a sponsor.

thekid123: No I just filled the form and wrote a letter explaining why I thought they made a mistake with my application. I don't think you are allowed to resubmit any documents or to submit new ones.

My school also heled me and contacted the British Council to plead my case. Hope this is helpful.

riteaide: Like I stated earlier on, I have seen it happen personally ie an adult sponsoring an adult. But just like other viable options, it might not work all the time given the uncertainties of the ECO's. no lazy comment
