I suggest you use original documents you would only be making their decision to refuse you an easy one they categorically state originals
I know people whom have been reduced solely for using faxed documents
If u want to get visa play by the rules use original documents
And request they send it to you back in a covering letter
What does your bf need payslip for that he cnt use the copies
Trust me it certainly cnt be as important as getting a visa

3sha4lyf: You are correct, but only to the extent that the original documents are for example readily available,etc.
I've seen two successful applicants use a scanned copy of invitation letter for graduation from an invitee's university. They stated it categorically in there cover letter that they've included scanned copy of iv letter to support their application.
Maybe the embassy requests for original docs because of the high tendency to forge docs in naija. I also think that the "Original documents requirements" is just their disclaimer in case they deny you based on their doubts. I guess if it's something they are in doubt of they can do further checks.
This said, I'm of the opinion that if @ kayeee4321 other docs are alright enough to make a decision, the photocopies may be inconsequential.
So in other words, clear photocopies or fax may be used if the original is unavailable. Preferable to use originals but if it's unavailable, do u kill ya sef? Noooooooo (lol)

isogee: please you can use photocopies/scan copies/ fax but it should be very clear and readable. some people makes thing looks as if they VO will overlook ur document when u submit photocopies. document from inland(nigeria) shd b original but document from outside naija can be original or photocopies....

girlfio: With a fiancé visa it can be difficult to prove that you have intentions of marriage strong enough to convince the ECO. Especially if you are applying from a high risk country, you have to prove strong relationship ties and proof of firm plans for the wedding. Also as the potential spouse u will not be able to work until u get your spouse visa after marriage. Since you guys haven't met, I would advise that you arrange to meet first. Develop your relationship, it's not necessarily about how long u r together before marriage but it helps greatly if u have experiences to speak of together, e.g holidays, birthdays, celebrations etc. I would advise that you visit as a tourist, go back home then start planning your wedding. Make sure u keep all emails, phone bills, take loads of pictures and basically start gathering your evidence for when u submit your application.

justwise: They don't have to do that, since you will be staying with them that takes care of accommodation and feeding. Money in their bank statements will take care of things like shopping, transport within the UK and sightseeing etc.

justwise: Is that written in the IV sent to you? You can write £650 but its very very important that you use the space in the form to explain the situation clearly. They should state in IV that you will be given £500 for shopping or stuff, don't make any claim that is not supported by them.

girlfio: You cannot get married in the UK whilst on a tourist visa. I would advise that if u either go for a fiancé visa (which are notoriously difficult to get) or you get married in Nigeria and make an application for spouse settlement from your home state.

justwise: Wait until you have those documents before filling the financial section of the form because they have to be accurate.

justwise: Do they send you their bank statements and money for ticket?

justwise: I thought you said your boyfriend and his daddy will be paying for everything?

He can send you fax/scan copies of those documents.

kayeee4321: hi
i have a follow up question if you dont mind
my bf is inviting me to the uk and will pay for everything,does he need to provide origanal payslips?bec he said he needs the original and doesnt want those to be lost along the process.can i submit photocopies of payslips?
and also the mortgage or land titles,can i also send copies only?will it be accepted?
thanks

worry 359: Very sorry but your chances do not look too good.
Where you are weak is on your ties to return home, especially with going to visit boyfriend.
UKBA may think that you will want to stay.
Also you are using all your savings and funds for the visit, they do not like this.

As you do not have a lot of money it would be a shame to loose it on a visa application that may fail.
You should get better ties to home first & build up your funds.
