Good day all, I have read through so many experiences but haven't found anyone similar to mine. I will sincerely appreciate all the help and advice I can get here.

My husband just got his ILR, we have been married for three years with two kids together both under 18 (one American and the other Nigerian). I am Nigerian and live in Nigeria, I have visited the UK several times (more than 5 times in 5 years), America, Dubai and Schengen countries (Paris, Germany, Spain, Malta etc) My sister is british from marriage. I am currently working, I am an IT professional with an Msc from a British University.

Please what do I really need to look out for as this is my first time applying for settlement visa. My husband is self employed and earns above 30k pounds annually, I earn about 200k in Nigeria. e have more than enough pictures of wedding, family pictures with our daughter, travel itineraries, conversation (but not so sufficient as mostly its done via whatsapp) few emails when we just met, bank transfers too.

Please note: I have always visited the UK on my visit visa I got through my sister;
I always mention visiting my sister at POE because of the visa I had and was using was based on visiting her; I have 6mons,2yrs, 2yrs again cos I could'nt afford the 5yrs at the time. My daughter uses her US passport for entry so I never really had to change details on my previous visa application.

Will this matter? I did not include my husband as my purpose of visit.

wow! seems to be complicated and much documents needed if using a sponsor who runs a company.

how about using a sponsor who is a freelance artist (film producer) in the UK. doesn't recieve payslips. but can show bank statements?

TonyyS:



okay, that is; Details (some documents) to prove he owns the company, Tax return of the company (previous year), then his last 6 months personal and Business bank statements. he then specifys that he will be sponsoring me with his personal bank statement.
am I correct?

TonyyS:



okay thankx Bro. still confused tho.
I know utility bill/prove of house ownership
passport data page
invite letter.

but dont get the financial aspect. he owns a company and will be sponsoring me on a visit visa fully.

please i need help, i have posted this before but didn't get the response needed. I was denied UK visitor visa in 2013 under 320 7a because of a family photograph(parents and siblings) with a different background and it was seen as altered and deception was implored which was not the case because i had no idea that such a photograph will raise any dust. I was single then. Moving forward 6 years later am married to a Doctor and i have a son who is a U.S citizen. my wife is about to apply for Tier 2 to work as a Doctor in the UK and my son and i are her dependents. I was told that my previous visa denial under 320 7a will or might jeopardize the application Because denials under 320 7a is automatic ground for ban under 320 7b since it involves deception. I don't know how true this is, i was not given a ban, i was single then. As a family man whose circumstances has greatly improved with a wife and son and she is the principal applicant, i would like an expert opinion about this so we don't make any mistakes. we are almost there. Somebody please help !!!!

Hello, okay am an agric full time 5th year (finals) student, planning on visiting the UK for 2 weeks for my project research write up in some libraries in the uk and to visit some farms too as an agric student (i have letter from libraries and farms giving me permission to come) I also will visit cousins. Also have Supervisor and HOD letter, other school doc., job offer letter after graduation.

But I want to know, one of my cousin is sponsoring the entire trip and he has a company in the UK. as he runs his own company, surely payslip is out of the picture. I would like to know what he has to provide from his end thankx.

Hello leaders,I'm new here. How do I leave Nigeria within 3-4yrs to the Uk.
I'm 21 and I know nothing about visa or how to apply.

justwise:


Spending more than 2months of his salary will not help his application, let him look for a cheaper ticket so as to reduce the overall cost

justwise:


Personally i suggest he try another country if this is a genuine holiday else he is likely to be refused again because of his previous questionable application. Going to holiday to another country and apply for UK visa next yr will do him a lot good.

If he insist on traveling to the UK then he can give it a go but that payslip does not look genuine.

justwise:


That is all he has to do and make an effort this time around to be honest in his application.

ifyalways:

A shoddy copy and paste job.
Guaranteed was wrongly spelt. Im no ECO but that alone is enough for me to conclude that all the documents presented by that applicant are BS.

Please don't make me laugh, an igbo trader will give your inlaw those benefits listed in his payslip including 1M to visit London for 4days?

Have you ever been to Abia, Onisha or Alaba international market to see how Igbos run their businesses?

I'm 100% Igbo.

justwise:


1.Is this copy and paste or is this how his payslip looks like?

2. There performance incentive is stated to be up to 855.000, meaning it can't be more than 855000 so why did he claim 1M in his visa application?

justwise:


I'm sure that those companies in that link embedded that in their employees contract and the question to you is..does your Inlaw's employment contract has that? Was the travel incentive stated on his payslip?
If this arrangement is true then let him try another country and get the visa just to prove the ECO wrong

justwise:


No responsible company will do that most especially the way your inlaw cooked up that story.

Your performance bonus will be part of your employment contract and the payment will stated in the payslip, you will be paid travel allowance on official trip and not on private trip.

justwise:


This will not work as you can not use a company's bank account to fund your private foreign trip, the company is not his and the trip has nothing to do with the company.

WNKQI:
No na, even the letter is too shallow. It does not reflect any ingredient from a corporate entity. it look more like a cook up story. Settle down, let your MD or HRM draft a good letter, for example, the last sentence of that letter is not necessary. I am not trying to run it down.

shawlar:



He went about it the wrong way. He should have had the company write a letter taking full sponsorship of the trip and used the company’s bank statement as proof of funds. Then there would have been no need for them to transfer the funds into his account (ECO would have just seen it as lodgement)
