They are the same, you will only know the outcome when you open your package.

Alright thanks

Justwise pls is true that decision made emails for refused applications are different from approved applications.

Glad to give back to this house @justwise, thanks for your input, it propelled me into doing a lot of thinking work and lots of brainstorming. I went ahead "stubbornness" against @justwise advice to reapply and today i got my package with my six months visa. Thanks @justwise, You have been a source of wisdom, wish I could meet you and give you a hug. In addition, I think the addition of a personal letter to my application helped a great deal. Though, I had my heart in my mouth all the full one month because it took longer than expected, i think the UK application format too has improved a lot because i was called for some sorts of verification. My timeline :
21-11-2016: Submitted application at VI
21-11-2016: Application transferred to UK Visas & Immigration
22-11-2016: Application received by UK Visas & Immigration
22-11-2016: Visa application received in Sheffield
6-12-2016: A mail came that my application wasn't straight forward and would take longer than expected (na here I die wake up)
13-12-2016: Application assessed by UK Visas & Immigration
14-12-2016: Application ready for collection/courier return
15-12-2016: Application return by courier
19-12-2016: DHL called me to come carry my property and as I open am, I see six-months visa o.
NL is highly recommended for DIY o, no time for agents. STORY OF MY LIFE.

Sorry to disturb you sis, want to ask if the decision made email you received for your first application which was refused is different from the one you got when your visa was granted.

Folks when you apply for a UK visitor visa in Nigeria is the application assessed in Nigeria or its sent to the UK to be assessed

Verification of my bank statement (SOA). I guess the bank was called because the bank officer that called, asked me to respond in the affirmative loudly IF I can give my consent for my account to be verified by a third party (in this case, I guess the UK Embassy), sharp sharp, I say YES, PLEASE DO!!!! Meanwhile, in my previous application six months ago, it wasn't so. Don't fret much, you will get it BY GOD'S GRACE.

Thank you, was ur bank statement stamped by ur bank, cos mine was stamped. A friend of mine got his visa without any verification and his statement was stamped

What did they call u to verify, I'm in the same situation now, I submit my application on 28/11/16 and go the email saying application not straightforward on 13/12/16 and I'm still waiting for decision made email

Pls I got this mail this morning, what does it mean. This Friday would have been 15 days

drobadebayo:

Sorry to hear that ,but please when did you make your application and where?

11 nov 16 submitted documents and 18 nov I got my passport

Upon research I have realized that applications that are refused are processed quicker than approved ones

For example if u paid for standard visa processing time and u are refused ur application is processed and u receive ur passport with five to eight workings days unlike when ur application is approved.

With myself and a friend as an example, I submitted a day after my friend but my passport was returned just after five working days and I was refused whiles my friends own took 12 working days and he got his visa even though he submitted a day b4 I did. Any other opinions?

Your best shoot man add business account statement finish u go collect visa[/quote


The business is not for me only it's a partnership and I'm not traveling with funds from the business so I added my personal account. I have a feeling if I add the business account and don't add supporting documents Eco will still refuse me. Besides I indicated that I receive dividend from the business which were all evident on my statement so I don't think adding business account will prove current trading of the business. Anyway need more opinions

Bosses my application for a visit visa was refused for this reason, Eco says he is not satisfied that my business is currently trading and the fact that i didn't state how the business will keep on running makes him doubt my business circumstances the more.

Meanwhile I added business registration cert and tax certificate, Eco acknowledged all these documents but still refused me on the reason above.

My business is a partnership and I added an endorsement letter from my partner stating clearly that he will be in charge of the business but it seems the Eco didn't see this per his reason for refusal

I intend applying again and will add receipt books from feb to nov this year as well as photos of our business operations, are they enough?

House pls is it cool to make corrections on the hard copy of your application form and sign against it?

Nairaland is doing very well in giving advice to potential applicants. I think posting of timelines too here would be exciting

11/11/16 - submitted application

14/11/16 - application received by ukvi

16/11/16 - decision made package will be sent to point of application in the next few day

I'm so scared, It's too early and usually applications that are processed early like that are application that are refused. In filling my form I made a mistake online with my monthly income but corrected it on the hard copy and signed against it and that has been hunting me like crazy.

Who has had his or her application processed this fast and still got the visa

Will you be denied a visa if u submit 5 months payslips and 5 months bank statement instead of 6 months

How do you pay personal tax but not business tax?

If you don't add business account and no tax certificate how then will you support the source of your business income?

U have a point, but since we the partners pay tax personally and not the business and Im not using business funds for my travel I thought I could just add my pay slips from the business which shows my tax has be deducted and the business cert to prove I'm a named partner. But as u said since I'm using it as tie I think adding the business account gives me more credit, guess I have to talk to my partner to allow me to add the business account.

kakunze:


Simply put, if his business is not a limited liability company, that business does not pay company tax. A business that is registered as a business name eg, XYZ ventures do not pay company tax, only the proprietor of the business pays personal income tax. But where the business is a limited liability company or plc eg XYZ nig Ltd or XYZ plc then such business pays company tax.

So in his case since his business is only registered as a business name, he as an individual will have to pay personal income tax and he will be issued the e-TCC ie electronic tax card

Yh true

Pls everyone I need help, if I want to use my partnership business as other source of income and as tie to my home country NOT FOR SPONSORING MY TRIP, what documents do I need to add with regards to my partnership business.
1. Pay slips from my partnership business and the registered business certificate with my name on it as part owner

2. Pay slips from my partnership business alone

And how how do I make the Eco knw that the partnership business is solely for other income and tie to my country and not using it to sponsor my trip.

I have another job and I intend using my salary account for that job to sponsor my trip. Note that my income from my partnership business also passes through that this same account

Justwise I went back to read again and this time around I saw a situation related to mine, which u asked the person to add tax certificate, business registration papers, business bank account etc. and consent letter from partner. In my case my profit is paid into my salary account every month and since it's not a limited liability the business itself doesn't pay tax but we the partners do which is deducted from my profit before its paid into my account.

Can I just add the business registration certificate with my name on it, something like a payslip that shows my profit after tax paid into my account, consent letter from my partner stating my leave without adding the business account since I don't need business funds for my travel

People please let's make an effort to read this thread before asking questions, the question you asked above has been discussed recently here.

Justwise please have mercy on me and answer my question, have read through the thread right from part one but can't seem to get a clue

Pls everyone I need help, if I want to use my partnership business as other source of income and as tie to my home country NOT FOR SPONSORING MY TRIP, what documents do I need to add with regards to my partnership business.

Solatium:
. It will be advisable if you include that source of other income since it's a registered partnership ' it improves you chances of getting your application approve

I don't have bank statement for that only have invoices that shows evidence of the cash is it ok, and how do I make them understand I won't be sponsoring my self with that cash. And do I need to add the business registration certificate?

I'm applying for visitor visa to the UK, I will be sponsoring myself solely with my salary account, how ever I have another source of income from a registered partnership business with a friend which I receive money by cash I don't intend using it to support my travel, but there is a section in the application form that ask if I have any additional income and I want to know if I can state it and how I should go about it

justwise:


It doesn't work that way, what you have now is 5months bank statement even if you submit your application next year.

Thank u justwise, will print from April to October, but apart from that is everything ok, the things I intend to add to my application and my finances?

justwise:


Why did you not print from April ?

Because I intend submitting my application latest by second week of November I calculated 6 months from October backwards. I haven't submitted so if it's better for me to print from April I can do so. Also I'm a youth president at my church as well as organizing secretary, I was awarded citation certificates for that and I want to know if I can also add an introductory letter from my pastor, the certificates as well as event memos which show I'm on programs this December as a source of tie to my country?

Hi everyone I really need ur help, I intend applying for UK visit visa

I intend using my salary account, apart from my salary no money enters that account. My monthly salary after tax which is paid into my account is £600, on the average I withdraw £300 every month for my living cost which means i save the remaining £300.

I intend applying in November therefore I have printed my bank statement from May to October this year and my account balance is £6000, I have been employed for three years now.

I want to know if it ok cos a friend of my was refused because Eco thought his closing balance was more than 4 times monthly salary and I didn't understand coz we only print statement for six months

Also I a first time applicant and I'm attending a seminar which I have invitation letter for that. I have an uncle der who will accommodate me in the UK but I'm sponsoring my trip in terms of plane tickets to and fro and miscellaneous

I intend spending £544 on plane tickets and £200 as miscellaneous since I'm only going for a week

I will submit my leave letter, appointment letter, pay slips and my bank statement

In the finance section of the application form there is a portion that ask how much of ur salary goes to dependent or family, i spend £50 on bus fees for my 15 year old brother every month nd I intend stating that, the only proof I have of the is the receipts I'm given anytime I pay, can that also serve as source of tie? Pls need help I used £ and not N because I'm in Ghana

Solatium:


One month Holiday ? you better not include that on your application

Ok probably a week or two will be ok right?

Anyway I meant to ask if my finances are good enough.
With the documents, I thought of add my 6 months bank statement, my leave letter, my uncle's bank statement and other relevant documents, want to knw if my ties to my country's is enough since I'm single and only have a job.
Also with the explanation of why I'm spending one month, will I be given a space on the application form to write my explanation or I would have to write on a different paper and add to my documents.
The last question is must I necessary prove my relationship with my uncle since he is my moms brother nd we don't have the same sir name, I only have a couple of mails between us nd he has sent me money once this month

justwise:


Nobody can accurately predicate what your chances are even the ECO will not tell you that until you make your application.

In terms of list of documents to submit..please read few pages back because we have listed them over and over again here from page one to this very page

..just to add...you need to explain in your application form what you will be doing in the UK for one month

Ok get ur point justwise, I meant to ask if my finances are good enough.
