Do not exceed your allowable stay in the uk as a visitor which is 6 months. However you can change your visa when you get a sponsor.[b][/b] To apply from within the uk is usually about 8 weeks. Also no employer will allow you start working if this is not sorted out. so apply early.
Good luck

QUEENBIZ:
Good day my people. I don’t know if anyone has an ideas if it’s possible for one to change[b][/b] from UK visitor visa to any other visa class (work etc) within the UK that will keep one status legal beyond 6 months. Kindly share any information via email please.

Good morning people, please I need your advice on this.

My brother wants to apply for UK visa renewal. Has been issued visa thrice before and the last one was 2 year visa. He eqrms about 800k monthly from a good organisation. The challenge is that he hardly deducts from his monthly salary leaving his balance at about N5m with a debit of less than 300k.in six months.

His expenses of about 200k monthly are from his savings account with bank A which he doesn't want to add because there was a POF payment that passed through it during the period. He has another account with bank B that has some inflow and outlflows too but not that much as his other savings account in Bank A.

He wants to reapply for 2 years....but worried that ECO would wonder why no debits on the salary account.

What do you advise?

Thanks

Can someone explain this statement to me from the ukvi website?


You must have this money for at least 28 consecutive days. The end date of the 28-day period must be within 31 days of the date you apply for your visa.

Ashirioluwa:


Although a cover letter is not a required document, as I mentioned in the post you quoted, I
still believe an applicant should write one if he or she thinks that will help the visa application.

Bro, I am still learning. I am not an expert in this visa thing. Anyway, thanks for that information.

Ashirioluwa:


A cover letter or introduction letter is not mentioned in the list of required documents for a visa application, but it’s still very important to write one.

The cover letter introduces you and the purpose of your travel.[b][/b] It states every important thing you want to tell the consulate. It is also used to explain the documents you're planning to submit with your application.

The application does all that itself, and the additional comment section is sufficient enough to fill up things. The talk of this cover letter has become too often yet it is quite inconsequential

MayCar:
Please is it possible for someone who is on a visiting visa renew their Nigerian passport at the embassy in the uk?

AbelPre:

Na wa o. This kind of analysis. See the way you are typing it like you are sure. I came for help on what to do. I work for an IOC Biko. But as a contract staff. So it’s the company who handles manpower that pays me. My leave letter and introduction letter even has the IOC details cause I work in the company. I even uploaded the IOC ID card. Don’t people have problems that take up their salary. I don’t like this analysis Abeg

Mrmoney90:


Your wife[b][/b] and your kids are your dependents. There will be no eyebrow raised with you traveling with just one of your children. You can explain why in a letter (may not be necessary though, but just to stay at a safe edge).

AbelPre:
so what do I do now?

royalmu:
Please shed more light on the bolded.

Mallamkettle:


Why do you want to include your CV. I would advice against it please. They did not ask you, don't shot yourself in the leg

Chicadedieu:
Compliments of the season everyone.

I would like to know if one must have a hotel reservation on arrival at the UK.
During visa application, my sister and her family submitted a hotel reservation. The visa came after the expected date so they cancelled the reservation (as advised on this forum).
However, my other sister and her family live in the UK and they have a big enough house.
Do they still have to do a hotel reservation even though they intend staying in my sister's place?
Does my younger sister have to give them any letter to take along in case they are being questioned on arrival at the airport?
PLEASE HELP cos it's different in France where I live.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP.

Chicadedieu:

I have dealt with Nigerians and know emotional blackmail when I see one.
I believe the OP has been a guest and follows this thread. The OP knows what y'all think of an agent[b][/b].
Most people on Nairaland claim brother, sister, cousin, aunty, or use another moniker.
The lines make them predictable.
HONESTY is a very expensive gift.
FYI That's the same way this ECO sees our applications now...Who cares if your company was active on the CAC registry in the past?!


PS: I understand this a thing of yours, and I am not in the trading of words business!

Calypso1234:


What do you suggest we do in this situation?
My mum has about N6m in her bank account which is the monthly allowance we all send to her, she doesn’t really use it like that cus she lives in my brother’s house & he takes care of all her monthly expense. So can we reapply & make her the sponsor of her trip?
If we still have to use my brother as the sponsor, can we just use his personal account in Nigeria where he received salary from his company? Then we can mention that he is a student & relies on the salary from his Naija company to survive in UK.
I am just looking for a way to make the visa work without circumventing the procedures.
Pls I need suggestions.

ijeshaoflondon:


Lol... ur playing with fire... This is what many people dont know about HCA[b][/b]...Infact, I give alot of peeps doing HCA just a year, some would prefer to return to Nigeria ... Some would weep on the street of London like a baby. Free has a price.!!! The experience is horrible. I call it High class omo odo.

Tier4Dependant:
Hello everyone, has anybody here been able to change employer on tier 2 or skilled worker visa?

Would like to ask for a few tips on the whole process. Thanks

This domiciliary care is not for me[b][/b]. Haaaa Kilode!!!

sholzie4real:
Hi Guys,

I uploaded a wrong Ielts Reference number when filling my Skilled work visa application.

I used the reference number that was sent to my mail from the British council to confirm my test date. I will be going for my biometric on the 5th of January. How can I rectify this error on my application form.

Will uploading the ielts test result at TLS suffice?

I will appreciate the aid and guide

infosoftlife:


I don't know why you quoting me asking this rhetorical question but be rest assured I don't have time to go back and forth with you. Go and read between the lines where he mentioned the agent he used asked him not to include his bank statement in the UK

Calypso1234:


The 4K pounds is a combination of Naira that he converted to Pounds from Naija plus the wages for the care job he does over there in UK as a student.

It was an agent that helped him apply & the agent said there was no need to add his UK acct since the Naija account was well funded as at that time.
@giselle237 pls help me, I don’t want him to give it to an agent again [b][/b]that’s why I had to take it up myself because I have read it here several times that agents always put people in trouble & I have always done my own UK visa applications by myself without any refusal at all. Pls guide me Giselle.

infosoftlife:


The denial is clear. Your brother is a student, and I wonder if he invited your mom to his graduation. I already knew he was violating his visa and working more hours.[b][/b]
You were playing the blame game.
You won't want to hear the truth at this point. Your brother is a student. He is not in a good position to sponsor your mom.
You should be careful with all these applications you are doing because I believe in the future, he would love to convert his student visa.
Don't let the past haunt him! Abroad have a good database.

Please help. Is it compulsory I take the TB test if I am applying to be in the UK for just 10 days[b][/b]? The site says " You need the test if you are staying for more than 6 months and if you are a Nigerian.

Abubanty:

elengine:


Why are people with COS still talking about POF? Is maintenance not included in your own CoS? READ YOUR COS WELL AND IF UNDER MAINTAINANCE IT IS READ YES, THEM YOU DONT NEED POF

isholex:
Good evening gurus in the house. Please I am applying for visiting visa for transit through UK, but a stage on the form is requesting for a flight number that I will board on traveling day and I don't know how to go about this.
Kindly help please. All your advice are welcome

triplo3:


Over 10 working days and no BRP sent via post. Plus no email saying they will send it. Called UKVI today and they said I won't get a new BRP, because I used the app during my application, so my picture was captured etc. Please does anyone have this experience of updating their visa from student to skilled worker dependent visa and then no new BRP? Instead just a status update online. Can I travel out and return to UK without a valid BRP? Thanks ahead
