Its inconceivable that someone will spend 25 times their monthly income on 1 trip. People do it over here only when they are terminally ill(about to die)

You need to increase your monthly income . The ECO wants to see a steady inflow of money monthly (easily explained income) not irregular sums that cannot be explained.

In your next application you must show the ECO what changes you have made to improve your finances e.g I got a new job which pays significantly more than my last one or i started a successful business from which I pay myself a good salary ( heres the registration, tax records of this genuine business)

In this case I would give myself 1 year if not 2 years before re-applying.
Good luck 👍 in your next application.

Good morning Gurus in the house, and compliment of the season.
I applied for UK Visiting Visa and I was refused. Pls advice needed on reasons for the refusal.

The decision
I have refused your application for a visit visa because I am not satisfied that you meet the
requirements of paragraph(s) V4.2-V4.6 of Appendix V because;
• You have applied to visit the UK for the purpose of visiting relatives for 21 days.
• You state you are employed with a monthly income of 242,993.58 NGN (£239.42)
with savings of 1,936,488.00 NGN (£1,908.00). I note you intend to personally spend
2,500,000.00 NGN (£2,463.22) and your monthly spending is 150,000.00 NGN
(£147.79). You intend to stay with your brother.
• In support of your application, I note your salary statements, employment documents,
bank statement from GTCO (account ending Bleep) with a closing balance of
3,478,868.39 NGN (£3,427.69) and all other relevant documents you have submitted.
• I have acknowledged that your sponsor is willing to provide adequate support for a
limited visit to the United Kingdom; however, it is your circumstances and intentions
which are paramount in assessing your application. The personal bank statements
you provided shows large cash deposits. I am not satisfied that this information
represents an accurate reflection of your personal circumstances because
your accounts show irregular deposits that are not in keeping with your stated
income. The information submitted with your application offers no insight into how
these funds were accrued. I am therefore not satisfied that you have accurately
portrayed your financial circumstances. This in turn leads me to doubt your intentions
and credibility in wanting to travel on this occasion.
• Furthermore, I note your monthly disposable income is 92,998.10 NGN (£91.63). You
therefore intend to spend more than 25 months disposable income. I am not satisfied
you would be willing to spend such a disproportionate amount of your disposable
income on such a short visit to the UK. This damages the credibility of your
application. I am not satisfied your intentions to enter the UK are genuine.
• The factors mentioned above have not been taken in isolation but considered
collectively. They damage the overall credibility of your application, leading me to
doubt your intentions in seeking to visit the UK for the limited period and purpose
stated. From the information on your application form and the documents you have
submitted, I am not satisfied that you intend to leave the United Kingdom or that you
are genuinely seeking entry as a visitor. Your application is therefore refused under
paragraph V4.2 (a) and (c).

Thanks

Just to clarify : Why cant she sleep? Is the pain from the piles keeping her awake?

If the pain from the piles is keeping her awake, i would go to the A&E. No guarantee she wont be told to have a CT scan.

If she is just not sleeping for no reason, i would hold on till she goes back to Nigeria then see a GP in Nigeria.

oluwaleokey:
My good people!
Can my grandma way come visiting use the A & E at a hospital? Or at our registered GP?
Does this come with heavy cost? Any implication/impart on her next visiting visa application if she uses the Hospital?
Is she even allowed to access it as visitor that didn't pay IHS?
UK polices on Immigrants dey fear person these days

She has got pile (though managing it) but that one that gives me concern is her inability to sleep at nights. I mean she will not sleep?
She has never used any sleeping pills before now?
I don Google tire and the results found is even more confusing.
Please help
Your candid advise would be greatly appreciated

Aaronsrod:
Why have you illustrated this point by showing us a black man in America?

Thank you. That is a blind man sleeping rough. Would never ever happen in the UK. He would first choice of accommodation and benefits. He will be supported to keep working as much as he is able.

She "made" you beat her up . Really, Mr abuser?

She carried your hand to beat herself abi? B****h a** n***a

Have you not read this book then?
Curiouser and curiouser.

You should read it. Also read how they broke britain by james O'brien

If you know, you know.

What the heck is Alist and Zlist ministry?dem dey discriminate for inside hellfire too?

Hian , you better carry your shoulders down . Dat bread you de use boast, na person get the bakery

newnig:
Only those in A-list MDAs and few B-list can relate. Most of the other civil servants are just like you asserted "federal government properties" that the government treats as they wish. But then, most of them offer little or no service commensurate to the remuneration they even receive. Visit 80% of the MDAs offering direct services to the public and you will be disappointed. Dedication to work and customer service is poor or non existent.

I am also a public servant.

I was paid on the 21st. Christmas is a public holiday thats why pay day was moved back. Happens throughout the year too. If payday falls on a weekend, they pay early never late.

Tinubu has failed.

newnig:
This is not true.
BTW, which countries have you worked in before?

You lots will just come here because it's a faceless forum and be spewing gibberish.

In 2022, December salaries also came after Christmas. Heavens didn't fall.

Listen to the young man, paying you before Christmas is a privilege and not a right.

Muslim faithfuls did not receive their salaries until after Eid el Kabir 2023 too.

You all should stop whining. Entitled lots.

emmatony:
Sometimes I am ashamed of Nigerians. The entitlement is just too much. Suppose the government pays you before any festival that's just a favor and not a right. Salaries are paid at the end of the month and not before a festival. Let's understand this and stop blaming anyone for our lack of proper planning.

It is a right. All over the world, December salaries are paid earlier due to Christmas

Just some friendly advice. Merry Christmas

TheOldGods:
who be this one, na you go decide where any tech company go stay abi. All these ameobo nairalands guys, talking trash. I don't even have time to answer anything that is not relevant to my topic

I find it difficult to believe that a "huge tech " company has anything in south carolina of all places.

You have spoken contemptously of all the possible categories of women from students to professionals.

What is left? I suggest you buy several dogs for company because na lonely be next thing unless you have a change of heart.

TheOldGods:
I'm a tech bro, I don't have to go into details of my work, but I work with a huge company that has an office in south Carolina

What do you do? Are there no women in your line of work?
Obviously that's where to start.

This is called Whataboutism. It has never won an election.

I encourage you to sign up for canvassing i.e speaking to people on their doorsteps for the elections in Spring infact i challenge you to do so.
You ll start to get where i m coming from

This government needs to go. QED

ReesheesuKnack:
The SNP in Scotland is rubbish.
They keep throwing the dead red meat of ‘Independence” to hoodwink Scots about their failures.

Same with the Labour government in Wales. They are messing up big time, but once you point out their failures, they point the blame to Westminster.

Shame!

You are in the weird friend zone. She is a bit odd, why share that? Share your wet dreams with her.

This is incredibly damaging to the reputation of Nigerians allover the world.

The mind-blowing scale of the lies make me wonder whether he should have a psychiatric evaluation?

Should he go to yaba left?

Dozy Mmuobosi ,a Nigerian , who had bid to takeover Sheffield United allegedly did so with fake companies.

He allegedly claimed 1 billion dollars with fake bank statements meanwhile he had 15 dollars

The gall! The unlimited audacity!

I m not sure what this is. Hope he is wearing sunscreen.
Obviously having a midlife crisis.

That is a huge omission. If i was being directly affected,I would contact this NGO suing to ask if this very important group (people on work visas) can be added.


Its just an email, what have you got to lose? Nothing!

Mx Tory, I wanted to congratulate you on this policy . Well done .You must be very proud of yourself 👏 👏 👏

What else have you got planned for us? No salaries in January? Army conscription? Food rations? What?

ReesheesuKnack:
This may not necessarily affect a lot of folks on this thread.
Reason: Most on this thread may not already hold British citizenship, or infact ILR.

If this affects you, read this article .
For the gentleman asking when these changes will take effect, even sunak himself does not know.

Have you looked on gov.uk? Thats what i would do. I doubt anyone on here knows.

I pay 12.99 for Youtube Premium which includes Youtube music. Its indispensable to my day-to-day life.

You work very hard and should have these little things for your own enjoyment. Otherwise , you may just be working for other people.

Thewritingnerd:
Please do you people really pay £10.99 per month for Apple Music in this country? 😭

I switched my location from Nigeria to the UK and I couldn’t believe my eyes. Now to take it back to where I come from is stressing me out. 🥲

I used to use my MTN sim to pay for my Apple Music back home when all cards were failing, but will that method work here now? 🥲

Would you like to point to where i said it was illegal, please? I would rather not be misquoted, if its all the same to you.Thank you most kindly.

The Non dom status thingy is definitely going next year. I m not sure why you are defending it so vigorously as its highly unlikely you have it now or will have it in future. You diligently pay your taxes, why shouldn't she? She isnt better than you

ReesheesuKnack:
@ deept,
@poanan
…….

Thank you very much for providing a lot of context to this.

Any keen reader will see that contrary to what MissJelkyll would want to hoodwink folks into belly, Akshata Murty did not actually commit any tax fraud or crime or any illegal or unlawful action.

I pay taxes on all my income as do everyone without this "non-dom status" . I ve even had my taxes increased recently because the UK ran out of money. why are they special? They should be taxed for everything before anyone else asks me for more money.
Lying is always bad nomatter who does it. She is clearly domiciled here , why Claim she isn't.

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2022/apr/07/rishi-sunaks-wife-says-its-not-relevant-to-say-where-she-pays-tax-overseas

Peerielass:
Not entirely correct. They pay tax on their UK income which entitles them to use the services you have mentioned. Whether it’s morally acceptable or not is another discussion.

You lost me, i wont lie.
The non dom status is unconscionable
and unfair ,lying that you are not domiciled here when your whole family is here and you have a UK job you have to go to everymorning.
You ride on roads you dont pay for, are protected by police you dont pay for, look at clean streets you dont pay for, You are not contributing to the training of your kids teachers or your own doctors and nurses .
All the politicians and members of their family discovered doing it had to stop it and start paying full tax eg Rishis wife.
Even they know its indefensible. Its about time it was stopped.

ReesheesuKnack:
Does he (his company) pay every single kobo in tax for ALL the earnings in the UK?
The answer is YES.
This non dom argument get as e be.
So you, MissJekyll. Let’s assume that your grandfather in Nigeria left you 20,000,000 naira.
You open up a small Ankara company in Gusau.
You employ people. They work for your company. Your company in Gusau makes profit. Your company pays ALL taxes to the FIRS in Nigeria.

The same You, MissJekyll, having moved to the UK, you used the money you earned in the UK to open up a zobo factory in Bath or Cornwall.

Your zobo company employs British people and provided jobs for British people. Your zobo company pays ALL its taxes to the HMRC.

Then along comes Labour Candidate who says that to raise money in order to fund UK schools and to pay Benefits to UK citizens and to increase the salaries of UK GPs, you MUST pay taxes on ALL your company profits in Gusau, Nigeria to the UK govt, in addition of all the taxes you have paid to the FIRS in Nigeria.
In other words, your Zobo factory in Bath pays taxes to HMRC only, whereas your Ankara company in Gusau is expected to pay taxes to both the FIRS and the HMRC.


Which kind sense be that?


So much for Labour wanting to fund the UK from non dom status taxes.

Give me a break!

Changed my mind. You have a different style of debate. It does make me feel like i m talking to myself.

Can you watch uk political shows tomorrow? You won't see your style at all guaranteed.

I m yielding the floor to you but i have not conceeded the point.

Good day to you , Sir/Ma
