Hello nNairalanders please I need your advice and guidance.
I want to invite my Dad for my graduation � coming up this month 18th November.
I know this is very close and of a very short timing.
My questions:
1. Can my Dad do priority for a visit visa?
2. What documents should we upload?
3. Is it okay if we state that he will be staying in the hotel during his visit?
4. He has had a 2years UK visit visa in the past is it okay if he still apply for a 2years again this time around?
4. My Dad has visited UK twice before and one of the visits we both went to the UK together then, does he still to attach my birth certificate?

Congratulations. Wish you success in your dream Country.

This whole experience feels so surreal, God has been faithful to me and my family on this journey.
Decision to travel was February 2018, had just come back from birthing my baby in the US and I just decided to give myself brain because this Naija no be it abeg.
I sat down and binge read part 1-4, then i registered for IELTS in March 2018, 1st result was LRWS-9,9,6.5,7, I was so sad, applied for remark and after 15WEEKS!!! Result was unchanged, na swear I just dey swear for BC. Applied to WES the following month (was still trying to convince hubby to join the canny train). Evaluated my BSc and msc, ECA was ready in June. Hubby eventually got on-board and did IELTS in July with MOD and he passed! Imagine! I gave myself space before i registered for the next IELTS cos i wanted to practice my writing well.
Registered with MOD in August for the Sept 8th exam, result was LRWS 8.5, 9, 7, 8.5. I was so excited!

Family of 3, moderate travel history.


-POF: Submitted Fixed deposit certificate (40% of POF) in my name (just invested the money two days before submission), money came from hubby so he wrote a letter of authority blah blah, then the remaining 60% was in hubby investment account that he had running since February 2018. The deposits matured while waiting, we rolled over but we didn't update it.

-Ref letter: Was unable to get ref letter in cic format amidst plenty office drama, I eventually got a manager to draft one for me on plain sheet and I notarized it included her ID and business card. Added my employment letter, promotion letter, payslips, salary statement of account and a printout of the email where my request was denied.

-PCC: Naija (Inspector Moshood) and acro UK.

-Medicals was done at Q-Life, spent almost the whole day there. Our medicals got passed a day after AOR, see me thinking that i'd have the fastest timeline in history, little did I know that God wanted to teach me patience (something I don't have a lot of, lool).

-LOE was just one page, gave reason why I couldn't get ref letter in CIC format, tabulated our POF, added the number of days i had stayed in the US it wasn't up to six months but because it shows very frequently in my travel history didn't want the VO to guess (it had happened to someone i know) and request for FBI PCC. Only got points for hubby's IELTS, didn't need to do ECA for him so there was no placeholder for his education, had to attach his TRF to LOE.

POST AOR; I really thought this our application timeline was going to be very short, meds passed was a day after AOR, BIL was the following day. I was already happy, 3weeks after AOR, rprf request came, was so excited, then one month passed, and another. By the time we clocked 6months, I called, raised CSEs, ordered GCMS notes, mailed MPs they didn’t do anything! when we clocked 7months, I just resigned to God to take over.

I'm writing all this story cos someone will use it to encourage themselves, it was stories like this I used to keep hustling, so to all ITA, PPR hopefuls, God is on the throne, we shall all laugh last!

PS shout out to @newmum0615 for her help with my ref letter wahala and my Sept/Oct aor whatsapp group you guys are amazing, You made the journey seem shorter, we helped each other get through, THANK YOU![/quote]

This is coming a bit late but still... Ladies and gentlemen, it's PPR!!!

Congratulations
