except it’s the couple’s parent, I feel like wedding is not a strong reason for visa to be issued. So many denials for all trivial occasions abound… could it be the visa officers see them as trivial?? Worst case inside pandemic…
If someone comes for a wedding and decides not to go back, will you force the grown adult? No. It’s even worse for those with no travel history and sufficient ties to Nigeria.

I also just got denied. I did my biometric on the 3rd of November.
Pls kindly check the refusal letter for any candid advice/ resolutions and how soon should I reapply.

Hello All, I am new here. I have just been observing, reading and learning. Please how do I go about my situation.

I applied for a visitors visa to the UK, biometrics done 5th November. I got a NSF email a week later but they didn't ask for further documents. I am yet to get a reply from them. Fortunately in December I got an international job in the Caribbean and I accepted the offer and I have even gotten a clearance into the Caribbean. What is holding my trip is that I need a transit visa, either thru Europe, UK, US or Canada.

Now do I contact the UK embassy about my visitors application and also informing them of this new development?
Should I ask for my passport from the UK and apply for a transit via Europe? ( which I might get in about 5WD)
Any advice will be valuable. Thanks[b][/b]

PS
I was denied UK visa twice in 2010 as a student.
Though had travelled multiple times to Europe in from 2017 to 2019. This includes holidays and official trips.

Hi Guys I got refused Friday last week. How long should i wait to reapply

nameundisclosed:
Hello, can someone help me with the process? I'm trying to book an appointment for my mum. How will she go about biometrics? I don't understand what to do. Please help

Dichimma:
Good day house,
This is the message I got for NSF, during application, I submitted my some pictures, marriage certificate for our marriage evidence. Please, what again do they want us to submit, please help

This was what they sent : please provide further evidence of your relationship to the main applicant as you have only submitted a marriage certificate dated 10/07/2021. The fact you have demonstrated your marriage took place doesn't act as independent corroboration you are in an ongoing, subsisting relationship.

Visa alert for my relative. Timeline below:

TLS Ikeja
Priority
Biometrics- 28th November
6 months visa
Previous refusal 3 years ago
Visa issued since the 13th of December and collection email dropped 2 days ago

I'm going to request for a refund of the priority fees.

To add: 6 months bank statement requirement is just hearsay and nonsense. There's nothing in the immigration rules to back up this requirement.

Relative submitted 3 months bank statement with about 300k bank balance and documents confirming ownership of different property across Nigeria. UK sponsor myself submitted 3 months payslip with 2 months bank statement showing balance of around £15,000.

Teslas:
They are immediate family with the husband's surname, but in this case who is the sponsor, it was her sister. So in respect to the application as the sponsor, the pictures of her sister and every other of her siblings are important to the ECO than others. But if the husband is the sponsor then picture of your sister with her husband and kids is considered more. You can shed more light too.

Teslas:
Thanks for pointing out that phrase. What i meant was that her pictures with her husband and kids were not a concern but the pictures of her and her sister along with every member of their immediate family. Then, i mentioned that they can still include the pictures with her husband and kids in their next application as a tie back in Nigeria. We are trying to help...

Teslas:
[s]The ECO does not any concern [/s]for not working or concern about the family pictures. Let her include her marriage certificate, pictures of her family with kids and all child birth certificate and husband information as well as a certificate. It is also good to include your husband's financial status and property if there is any for them to know. Your husband can support you if need be. You can also put your husband as second sponsor with a letter of introduction and the reason for sponsor as all proof that you will be coming back to take care of your husband and kids.

EJIOGBENIMI:
Good day Sir/ma, thank you for your previous advises.
Please when is the earliest time I can apply for another visa?
My proposed travel date is 30 June and I plan to return on 26 July ( current visa will expire on 3 July).
My work schedule(offshore) does not permit me to go for biometric and return at will due to some precautionary measures.
I will have to be away from work when I am apply, do biometric and wait to pick up my passport before returning to work.
The earliest I can do this, the better for me(I am still away from work till February because I was not able to cancel the leave that I took earlier).

Sus4:
Congrats to everyone that's gotten positive responses, I pray God will remember us too. When oct 27 received collection email some days ago, i doubled up my hope cos mine is oct 29. Now I don't know what's happening again oo.
Pls my people I have this to share with you , cos this afternoon a lot has gone thru my mind .
In the application i submitted, i made some changes. I added a middle name to my new passport so it can tally with the names on my NIN , which was not on my old passports that carry my expired 6 months and 2 years uk visas. I also told them about an additional source of income .
Note: I provided affidavit for the added middle name.

I was just thinking this afternoon that the delay could
be as a result of these changes. Perhaps they're trying to verify the changes

Afroguee:
Good day everyone. Thanks for all the info on here. I have a small issue please.
I was raised by my mom parents so any paper work has their names on it. A few years ago my aunt sent me an an invitation letter to apply for a u.k visiting visa to go see my mom. In my application it states my mother's name as my mother ( when asked if I have any family members in the U.k) and the space for father was unknown cuz I have never met him. My mother's name is not on my birth certificate. Now I want to do a new birth certificate cuz the last one is lost and I'm applying for a study visa soon. What do I do cuz I was rejected then and they will go through it. Do I still Carry on with my grandparents name that was used to register my passport Or do I put my actual mother's name on my new birth certificate Incase they go through my old visa application. Please help. I'm confused.

Hello house.
Need help and advice as I'm in a dilemma.
I intend to write my plab exam in the UK in the first week of July but would want to apply sometimes in the second week in March.
I understand that one can't apply earlier than 3 months but intend to state in my application that I'll be entering the UK a month before my PLAB 2 exam with a leave letter from work so I can prepare for the exam and read.
Will I be able to apply in March if I state that I'll be traveling in June and when can one enter the UK if the visa is granted.
A friend said they usually put the entry date to be about a week to the time one intends to travel to the UK cos I I tend to travel sometimes around May 25

Cycloe:
Pictures were added, she also stated about her children and husband and she doesn’t need to leave them etc. The only thing is her account statement wasn’t used . But sincerely receives monthly income from her hubby . And also her husband didn’t write a letter .

EJIOGBENIMI:
Good day everyone and thank you for the great job you're doing here.

So I received my visit visa on 3/01/2022. My visa would be valid until 03/07/2022.
Here is my concern. My new plab2 test date is 21/07/2022. so, the current visa will no longer be valid. I plan to be in the UK before the end of June.

Should I apply for a new visa? (I don't even know if it's possible to apply for a new visit visa when you have an existing one) If yes, when would you advise me to do that, given the current delay and uncertainty).
I'll be needing my passport on the test date. If I will be extending the visa over there, the process must be concluded and I must receive my passport before the test date. Is this possible in 2 weeks?
Thank you.

Cycloe:
Thank you for this I will inform her. Her bank statement, how many months is ideal if she wants to reapply . And the source of funds too won’t it raise. Red flag . Her husband intend to put money in her account this time .
Is that okay? She submitted at ikeja around September and was just sent the mail . She has 3kids in Nigeria .

AmeliaT:
An [b]unemployed person is an automatic flight risk [/b] and therefore needs to prove otherwise. How old is your sister? Is she in her 20-40s? She needs to be doing something. A business or has a career in which case, she’s in between jobs. Or is it due to extenuating circumstances such as health ? Is she over 50? Then she should prove her retired status. Her cover letter needs to carefully explain the circumstances of her unemployment, what she’s up to with evidence to substantiate. I also advise that she goes to a few other countries first.

giselle237:
3 months is a lot. Not visiting family…. Not healthcare. Tourism for 3 months?
That is a red flag. Put yourself in the shoes of the ECO.
You will outrightly deny this application as yet agaon they do not even have the funds to fund this 3 months but relying on a friend. What happens if after 1 month the friend decides to back out of your tourism plans??… so you will recourse to public funds or probably overstay.
For a first time visit. And you dnt have the financial wherewithal to back up this long duration.
This is very very simple. Intention is doubted with a great deal. Even me sef if this is a foreigner intending to visit Nigeria with the above profile, I will deny the visa. You have not proved your intent beyond reasonable doubt.. come worsen am with such a long time and tagged it tourism and visiting a friend.
No offense intended @olamzy45 pls
