Hello everyone, has anyone experienced payment not dropping issue at the point of capturing? I couldn’t capture today, I was told payment hasn’t dropped. I paid in November and got the payment successful email. |

I wonder too, I’ve used them a couple of times and wasn’t asked for yellow card. Still used them late last year.
[quote author=roak post=130137533]Really? I wonder when this changed. I travelled Dec 2022 to UK. I didn't have a yellow card then, and they didn't ask. |

Ehisjp: Good evening house. Does the answer to the below question include salary account?:

[quote author=LadyCaplin post=130065347]Congratulations!
Permit me to ask some questions as a form of guide: Was this your 3rd or 4th UK Visa? Any other valid visa in your passport? How much was your total POF (both savings and salary accounts)? How much for the visa application fee?
Congratulations once more!!
It’s my 4th UK visa, the last one was a 2 years visa that expired Dec 2023. Yes, valid US and Canadian Visas. POF was about N5m Visa application fee is £963
Thank you. |

Hello everyone, can I use a snapshot of my savings balance on optimus app as proof of funds for a visit visa or do I have to transfer the money to my regular bank account. I don't want it to look like account padding. |

Any help on this please? MadameW: Hello everyone, pls I need clarification on this :
For a visit visa, is saving on apps like piggyvest or optimus acceptable for POF? or is it better for the money to be transferred to a regular bank account and an explanation proffered for the lump sum in the cover letter?
Your responses will be highly appreciated. |

Yes it will, and if it’s a previous UK refusal you omitted, you may get a 10 year ban.
