zubbainno123: Thanks sir for your timely response I truly appreciate............but my concern is not really about breaking NYSC rules, ofcuz Ppl do that all the time. Am jst only concerned that the embassy might contact them for some info about me once I state that am a corper............its gonna suck really for me to wait till after my service before I can apply cuz I only jst stated my service this mnth nd will be rounding off by this time next year.....the funny part abt this whole thing is that the reason why I waited tiLl nw to renew my visa was so that I can apply as a corper since I was not working or schooling since I returned from my initial trip.

What is the worst thing that will happen if you did not go to the UK within this period of service? How much will you lose financially or health wise?

There is no need to duplicate threads, lets stick to one.

zubbainno123: Oga vicjustic and justwise and my other friends here pls I really need an urgent response on this.
I am planning on renewing my xpired 6mths visit visa to the UK, I am a corper nd am currently serving in lagos state. D problem I hv now is that we were told while in camp that serving corps members r not allowed to travel out of d country or else on medical grounds, nd that u r not alloewd to stay away for morethan 2weeks. Nd they also made it clear that for u to travel out u must collect permission from d Director General's office. So my question now is would I be giving an authomatic denial one I state that I am corper since we r nt allowed to travel out during our service year, or can I jst get a letter from d organisation am serving with stating that they hv grated me a week break to go visit my brother in d UK.
Plz I really need ur ungent respponse on this, cuz I ordinary would hv applied for a renewal before now, bt I was waiting to hv something doing in nigeria that will prove that I will return bk to the country as I was not working or scholing.......and please does anyone in the house knw anybody that has applied as a corper before and was granted a visa.......thank u all.

zubbainno123: Does it mean that one can not apply for a visit visa as a corper, tought NYSC is a strong enough ground to prove that u will return bk to the country after your visit?

You listed all the rules a corper should not break and you are asking again why corppers can not travel?

I will be surprised if you are given a visa even if you get a letter from the organisation you servicing with.

Wait until you finish your service and get a job, but if you want to go on with the application then i can only wish you luck.

When i saw the title of this thread i knew that some contributors here will rather blame the West than discussing the topic.

Arab Spring is still young, the feeling is still raw, and stability is not expected in a year or two. Its not easy to have a turn-around of the system within one year.They now have the right to vote freely without being dictated to, have the right to demonstrate without being slaughtered by the military or locked up for years.

I found it very ridiculous that people are blaming the west, if the west is so powerful to the point of sending Tunisians, Egyptians and Libyans to the street to demonstrated, fight and get killed against their will then i want to be ruled by the west.

ufotuko: so what factors will help me in getting the dependency visa?is my age the problem here or is how the person over there in uk is related to me?

Both.

ufotuko: the person is my cousin and i am 22 years old

It will very difficult if not impossible for you to get dependency visa based on that. He is just a cousin and you are an adult, those two factors are against you.

ufotuko: yeah i have someone in the uk.and the person is a citizen

That depend on who that person is to you and your age.

The IT company got no name, physical address or even a website? How will anybody apply for a job in a company with little knowledge about the company?

ufotuko: hello guys,please i heard about something called dependency visa,please how can i get a uk dependency visa

Do you have anybody in the UK?

dangerzone: Justwise,do you know if i can extend my passport that still carry a 10month validity? the embassy require at least 24month validity,your respond will be helpfull,thanks

As far as i know its 6 months validity, never heard of 24 months. I think you can extend it though i haven't done that before.

mikky4all: @ justwise, there is no other means I could contact the guy but via what I did. I really need his help

jejet: My post was in response to Vicjustice response to remmer5 that 850k is not sufficient to apply for visiting visa.I do not have a regular monthly income but I have cash flowing in and out in account (not bogus amt) and I explained the source of the money is from sales commission I received from my parents business and I accompanied it with a letter stating that I have uninterrupted access access to the business account. Finish. few days later, I picked up my visa

850k is nothing if that is 4-5 times your salary and you planning to travel to the UK to spend it in one week, cash flow as a business person is not the same as somebody who earns monthly salary, salary is fixed, business income is not, the two are not judged the same way.

jejet: @justwise, Like how much do you think is sufficient to apply for a visiting visa?. Bro, I have less than 200k when I applied and I was granted after 5 working days. I think the most important thing is the cash flow of the account.

How much was your salary or totally monthly income?

Cash flow from which source?

mikky4all: Y is my post getting hidden

Read the title of this thread and see if your post got anything to do with it.

vickkyy: Good day everybody,i applied for a visiting visa to UK for 6days and i was refused based on the below grounds.

You have stated in your visa application form that you will be financing urself in d UK at a cost of 130k (€515 @# 252.54 = €1). This would appear to be an underestimated of ur costs. Your hotel alone will cost u €406 (#102,531). You will then require a flight, transport and extra funds for food and sundries. Therefore, a conservative estimate of your minimum expenditure would be €1,000 (252,540). Your stated monthly income is #72,750 (€288). However, the salary payments in your bank equate to #59,337 (€235). This trip represents over four months of your annual stated salary. I note that u have declared no additional income from any sources. Given your personal economic circumstances, I am not satisfied that your financial outlay on the proposed visit, for the reasons u have given, is commensurate withyo ur current personal and financial circumstances in nigeria. Therefore, on the balance of probabilities, I am not satisfied that u will be maintained and accommodation in the uk without working or having recourse to public funds or are able to meet the cost of return or an onward journey as required by paragraph 41(vi) and (VII) of HC395.


i have therefore refused your application becos I am not satisfied, on the balance of probabilities, that you meet all of the requirements of the relevant paragraph of the United kingdom immigration rules.


Your right of appeal is limited to the grounds referred to in section 84 (1) (c) of the nationality, immigration and asylum Act 2002 (www.legislation.gov.uk).


Actually, have already written an administrative review letter and is also below


British High Commission (Trade/Investment, Consular and Visa Sections),
Dangote House,
Aguyi Ironsi Street,
Wuse,
Abuja.

Dear Sir/Madam,

RE: ABUJA / 864664 LETTER OF ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW OF VISA APPLICATION

I received the entry clearance officer (ECO) notice of refusal of entry clearance into United Kingdom dated 08/11/2012. I applied for a Visiting Visa but my application was refused by your commission. In refusing the visa application, the Entry Clearance Officer (ECO) had cited Act paragraph 41(vi) and (vii) of HC395.

In the said notice, the ECO stated the under stated as his/her reasons for refusing my application.

1) That I will not be able to maintain my accommodation and other expenses due to underestimated cost. That I will be financing myself in the UK at a cost of N130,000(€515 @ N252.54= €1) that the hotel cost N102,531(€406), I will then require Air (Flight) Ticket, transport, extra funds for food and sundries.

2) That the salary payments in my bank equate to N59,337 (€235) and no additional income from any other source. Also my income is modest and this leads you to question whether I intend to leave UK at the end of my proposed trip.

In response to (1) and (2) above, I refer you sir/madam to the application form submitted. See the below details provided in the application form;

I have N309,000 (€1,224) available for my trip (inclusive of my flight ticket). Return flight ticket cost N135,000 (€535) to my findings.

I budgeted the sum of N130,000 (excluding return flight ticket) but the hotel cost N102,531.

In summary to the above, After the deduction of the flight ticket and Hotel cost of N237,531 (€941) there will still be balance of N71,469 (€283) from the amount available whereas I will be leaving with my provisions (cornflakes, Assorted biscuit, Mayonnaise or Bama / Chocolate scrub for Bread, tomato ketchup, Milk and sugar) and the sum of N71,469 will still be my cash at hand for transport, sundries and food for 6days. Also, I am entitled to Leave Allowance but it will be paid as cash, I did not made mention of it in the application form because I don’t have the letter to back it up and I believe that the money available will be enough for 6days as budgeted. ECO did not even put the month of October and November into consideration. Also I am still entitled to another leave after 3months.

My monthly salary was formally N59,337 after deduction of tax, but was increased to N72,750(€288) after tax in the month of July, 2012 with some of my co-workers, the salary review letter was submitted with my application form, my name will be found in number 3. I was short paid in the month of July & August, 2012 by paying N59,337 in my account for the 2months but was later adjusted and the different of N40,000 was later paid to me by cash.

I noticed that the ECO did not put my DIAMOND BANK account into consideration before reaching his/her decision, the account was open in the month of June, 2012 as salary account for each staff of my company and June, 2012 salary was the first salary paid into the account. The salary paid to my account for the month of September, 2012 was N72,750 to claim my prove, the DIAMOND BANK statement has been withheld by ECO.

In submitting my visa application, I have submitted my personal statement of account (Guaranty Trust bank & Diamond bank), letter of introduction from my employer stating my position, letter of transferred from Stations Department to throughput Department but position as stations accounting officer still stands, Salary review Prove, Payslip, places to visit, hotel booking for 6 days and how to get to Heathrow Hotel from UK Airport.

I have submitted a GUARANTY TRUST BANK statement of account where it was clearly showed that I have N352,000 (€1,394) as balance. I have the financial muscle to undertake the trip and without me recourse to any public fund when I would get to the United Kingdom.

Sir/Madam, I am on the point that I have met all the requirements under the paragraph 41 of the immigration Acts as promulgated by the House of Commons of the UK (the ECO had left out important documents for consideration and relied heavily on his personal thought), by not putting my DIAMOND BANK account into consideration. Therefore I merited the visa in the first place and the British Commission was supposed to issue me the visa to permit me to visit the UK.
May I say Sir/Madam, that I am an honest and diligent young lady whose only desire and have an intension to visit U.K for holiday purpose only and not to recourse to any public funds in the UK. No normal person who would abandon such OIL JOB in a recognize company and then become an ILLEGAL RESIDENT in the UK.

In view of this Sir/Madam, I am appealing to you to use your good office to review my application so that justice and fairness upon which the UK is run can be seen and said to be in practice.

While I am looking forward to hearing from you in the shortest possible time, please do accept the assurances of my highest regards.



Yours faithfully,


SOMEBODY SHOULD PLEASE ADVISE ME.

The ECO did you a massive favor by refusing you a visa, you haven't got the money for the trip. N130 you estimated for the trip is nothing compared to the actual amount needed.

Seek help urgently

passionup: Guys, I have a similar issue. Had overstayed for 1yr 9months and used a fresh passport when coming back. I was fingerprinted at gatwick as I told immigration that my previous passport was lost and I had to get a new onw to travel at my cost. Came back to nigeria and reapplied. I had added my initial passport to my visa application which I had gotten it stamped here in lagos but didn't add the passport I returned with when re-applying. They refused me, banned me for one year and asked me what happened to the passport I came back with and how come my previous passport that I declared missing has resurfaced in nigeria with an entry stamp on it. I was at a loss as to how to answer those questions. I was banned for one year and at the end of the ban period, I reapplied again and I was refused with the same reasons as to what happened to my previous passports and the entry stamp which I haven't till date been able to explain out. I need solutions to my dilemma now. Who has solutions for me now as I need a british visa asap now. Who knows a strong and influential immigration attorney that can handle this case? I need referrals pls. Someone shd kindly help. Thanl you and expecting to hear your opinions.

Maybe its the time to come out clean and tell them the truth?

Siga: .....Haba...at which sentence did I mention Schools working hand in hand with the Canadian government...come on now...read wat i wrote...dont say wat I did not say...come on....if u disagree its ok...but we are all here to share our views...

That is what your post suggested, if there is a quota as you suggested and colleges and universities still admit foreign students AND the embassy still accept their visa application fees then its fair to say that Canadian schools and their embassy collaborated in the act.
