Now you are talking.

Ha, Ha , Long throat

The bank makes this kind of mistake all the time, I know of someone who about £200k was accidently paid into her account, until that money was removed she kept panicking.

People get arrested for this kind of thing.
I doubt if he will be able to invite anyone with such a record, he has committed a crime. It might not be a crime in Nigeria but in the UK it is. You don't touch or tamper with anything that is not yours.

But he said the money belongs to the hubby. He did not steal it, the money was paid in his account. She only said that the hubby explained to her that his credit history is very bad bc of that fruad that was tag on him and the hubby said he has no criminal records, that he has been aving a good criminal record that is been sent to him every month. The hubby av been working as permanent staff and she said that the bank stuff happend around 2015.

I think there is something hubby is not telling wife. £40 is not enough to be labelled as a fraud, the account must have been used on a large scale for fraud. Wifey needs to interrogate hubby more.

I just hope that hubby was not sacked from his job. Reason being that if you are applying for a spouse to come you will need a permanent job as the hours are more guaranteed. Agency job sometimes you will be at home for a week without pay.

I mean £40,000. No I asked her why is her hubby not doing the permanent job again, she said that he resigned and pick up agency work because he compared his friend that is doing agency work with his permanent job and found out that the friend makes more than him every month. She said the hubby is been paid £1200 at the hospital he works why his friend that does agency do correct £3000 every month, so the hubby was shocked and decided to resign and pick agency work to earn more. I still asked her if there are jobs to cover the agency monthly salary, she said hubby told her yes, that he works like jaki every day. Lol

How bad is his credit history? With a bad credit history it is difficult to rent a flat but not impossible, as a precaution he might have to put down a larger security deposit. I know people who don’t live in the UK but rent apartments and put down larger deposits. Also it is not illegal for couples to share a room. Loads of couples rent rooms, even some with one or two kids. There might be a few cases where the landlords might state in the advert “no couples” but I down see anywhere where you are breaking any law.

Regarding the job, health care assistant is not that bad a job, loads of people are using it to look after large families and pay mortgages. Yes in some cases the agency might pay more but having a permanent job is more secure, will help to built up his credit rating and also help with the home office to apply for his wife to come.

I hope I have tried to answer your question, there might be others on the thread who might want to add to this.

Thanks so much for your prompt reply. I was asking her she kept crying and said is something relating to money that was sent to the hubby in the bank. she made mention of £40,000 that was sent to his account, the hubby withdraw some and next time he went to collect the money his account was frozen and he was tag fruad Star in his credit fille so since then it has been very difficult for the hubby to rent an apartment. I keep asking, how did the money came about, she said it was 2ru business, so i will just advice her to tell her hubby to get one room apartment so that she can visit with her 6months visa. Because she said the hubby keepd saying that no one is allowed to share one room in uk with y spouse, I got confused and said but here in Nigeria couple can share one room even with their kids.

Well for the agency job I will talk to her about it. But agency job is the same thing like contract job here in Nigeria and payslips are been given right? So does it mean with agency job the hubby can not fill for her? People that apply for spouse visa must their hubby av a permanent job? Can one not apply with agency job for permanent stay and spouse visa application? Ps kindly let me know. I am indeed feeling for her

Ps dear friends, a friend of mine that the hubby lives and works in the UK said, the hubby is unable to get accomodation beacuse of he has a very bad credit history which has made it very difficult for him to get an apartment because of this issue my friend said she is unable to visit her husband. I advised her to tell her hubby to look for one room self apartment so that she can visit but she said the hubby refused her coming to stay in one room apartment with him, that it is against the law. She has been so sad. Ps I want to ask how difficult it is for one to rent apartment with bad credit?
If it is very difficult how can one rent with bad credit
Does it mean that the hubby can not rent again? Ps I need advice. Moreso she complained that the hubby is not doing his permanent job again, he now changed to agency job. His reasons is beacuse they pay agency staff well than permanent staff, ps how true is that? The hubby works as health care assistant in the hospital. Is health care assistant really a good job, because she complained to me that they d'nt pay him well. Ps dear friends I need y advice to really know how I can talk to her.

Just a question:
How did the embassy know they were heading to New York?
Is that based on the information provided on the visa application?

If u ask me na who I go ask? cool

it is the way I saw it on browser news.

Probably they checked their traveling ticket at airport and saw new York, base on the information given in the application.

Thank you monchat, you are highly appreciated.

(1) confirmation letter not available? (WILL IT HAMPER ECO DECISION)
(2) account statement balance like 2mill, but have FGN bond certificates, TBills certificate and other investment certificates that I can make
liquid if money is needed ASAP. (can I use these investment certificates as a support to the account statement, cos na investmet i dey use
the money in my account do)?.(WILL IT HAMPER ECO DECISION)
(3) Tax clearance not available?.(WILL IT HAMPER ECO DECISION)
(4) Letter of invitation is N/A?.(WILL IT HAMPER ECO DECISION)
(5) can land survey work or must it be C of O. (for landed property)?.(WILL IT HAMPER ECO DECISION)
(6) can i use booking.com for hotel reservation?.(WILL IT HAMPER ECO DECISION)
(7) how can i book flight reservation as most flight reservation expires in 48 hours if not being paid for?

Kindly Advice.

1. No, confirmation letter will not affect it but, if u d'nt av it no problem , it is just that it helps atimes if u are applying as an employee of a company. If u av a good HR in y organisation he/she should be able to write confirmation letter for u after 6months probation. Let the HR check y staff fille and calculate 6months u joined the company and write the letter, if it is not possible u can leave it, your employment letter, payslips will cover it.

2. Your 2M depends on how long u will stay in the UK.

FGN bond certificates, TBills certificate and other investment certificates are what u will fill when asked if u av other savings or investment. The most important thing is showing a good comprehensive statement of account with a good closing balance. The ECO wants to see your total budget in your account and the remaining amount to show that u av something to fall bk on when u guys return. So u av to do a good mathematics here. Your statement of account is preferable.
3. If tax certificate is not available no problem but , note that, if there is no tax deduction stated in your payslips, it will lead to refusal. UK are really concerned with your tax deduction, they d'nt joke with it, so it is compulsory u must av it stated in y payslips.
4. Letter of invitation is not compulsory if u d'nt av any one inviting u guys. All u need to do is go to booking.com and book hotel for duration of stay and print out from y email. U will take it along with u when u want to submit y documents, it serves as proof of accomodation.
5. Landed properties ps. If u no get am no problem.
6.yes of course, it is one of the widely used for booking hotels
7. U can not book for flight reservation until your visa is approved.

Thank you @justwise for your advice I really appreciate and everyone that has given me one advice or the other I sincerely appreciate you have made me understand this application more.

But @justwise one of the reasons why my hubby cant invite me now is because his contract job he was doing b4 ended last year November and he has not gotten any other job since then and besides he has been traveling so dats why he can't invite us now and I don't think we can still use the payslips of last year. He is just trying to get another job now. That's was why we decided to use my uncle since he has been inviting me before..... Can I still use my uncle as the invitee and the sponsor?

But now I see this things might be a bit some how.... Is there another way I can go about it... Like claiming I m not yet married..... That will mean I will have to change my passport is that even possible?

I don tire oo!

I feel u. There are complications on u using single in y application. The reason is that ,y old passport is using y median name and new passport hubby surname. Moreso, during the time u will submit and fill application, u will be asked about y previous visit to the UK and u will also make copies of photocopies of previous visa and passport page along with application. If the ECO sees the old and new passport is aving different surname this raise eye ball that u are married.
2. Another is the birthday cerificate of y child. The father's address and signature is on the birth certificate. Another problem

3. If u are using single ps note that on y court marriage certificate , the date of marriage will be checked during y the process of y spouse visa. Bc it is court marriage certificate that ECO prefers than church cerificate. For example if u claim u are single 2018 and during y spouse visa process ECO finds out y marriage certificate date was 2015. This will make the ECO refuse y spouse visa application.

The only soln u can apply as single is if y passport is still in y median name , then u av not done court marriage, that is what can help u to apply as single, then when y hubby is ready to file for u guys he comes down to Nigeria and do court marriage.

For me I will advice you to go with @justwise advice to avoid future problem in processing y spouse visa.

2. He is a civil servant. A top management staff
3. No they want to process it together.
4. A friend's house.

Since y dad is going with y mum, he will be the sponsor. I will advice him to have total of 3M or 4M in his account, showing the budget of all he will spend with y mum in the UK for 4wks and some money to be left in his account to show what he will fall bk on when they come bk home. For the budget , he should calculate the flight fare for two, estimate of 560 or 600k, living expenses incase they will not like to fully depend on his friend ,ticket money for sight seeing, transport and shopping.

The requirements he needs as a civil servant are:-

Employment letter
Confirmation letter (incase he had it)
6months pay slips
Letter of introduction from office stating that he is going on his annual leave
6months comprehensive statement of account with good balance.
Staff ID card

Now you are making me more scared and confused.... Seriously.....

Please guyz what do I do!
@justwise @ekpotek @monchat

Well @Adumii has really hit the nail. There are so many things that will complicate issues on y application, so many questions will arrise when taking decision on y application. You said y uncle is sponsoring y visit, and y hubby stays in the UK as permanent resident, then why is he not sponsoring u and his child? This will raise eye ball and ECO will doubt the possibility of u coming bk.The decision will be base on:- That y hubby could av apply for spouse visa for u but, may be he is not able to meet the spouse visa requirements base on his financial level in the UK bc he has to be earning about £22,000 to fill for u and his child and if he does not earn dat, it will be difficult to fill for u guys and this can make them to take decision that u might not come bk. I could av prefer that, he applys for spouse visa for u, if he meets the requirements Or u apply and be the person that will sponsor y self or y hubby sponsor y trip if u guys av good job with monthly pay and comprehensive statement of account that will cover yr visit with y child , then yr hubby can write a cover note to explain that he is really missing his family and will like them to spend some weeks with him this summer, he wishes to apply for spouse visa for u next year but meanwhile he will like u guys to visit him for a short stay and conclude that, u guys will definitely leave UK after y stay. He can attach letter of invitation, statement of account, payslip. Also show attached pictures of u and hubby, kid, wedding pic and other pictures u are together. Since y spouse visa might take a while u guys can visit. I d'nt see anything wrong in visiting y hubby in the UK if he has a legal status. This is my advice , others can also add their own contributions.

Thank you so much for your response

But is my uncle that is inviting me and also sponsoring my trip and stay but in colabo with my hubby he has been the one inviting me before my hubby got his stay. Do you mean I should just include it in my application that I will also be visiting my hubby during my visit.

Secondly if my hubby writes a consent letter to bring his child to UK does he also need to put his passport data page and include his status or I should just be silent about his status and allow them to figure it out themselves..... I m scared ooo.... I hope they won't conclude that I won't be coming back to 9ja and thereby refuse my application.

Please put me through more.....

Thanks

Yes u av to include it that u are visiting y hubby. When u start filling the form and if asked are u married, which is YES , then u will be asked to provide details of y hubby and if he is living with u or not, if NO, u are asked to provide address were he is staying. U can see that, u av to tell the truth here bc if u lie, it will affect y future spouse application. They store every documents. More so u will be asked in the application if u know anybody in the UK and their status, u will state y hubby and uncle since they all av their permanent stay. U will also be asked if u will visit any of them, u will have to state yes.

Yes, your hubby av to write a consent letter and scan his passport and the permanent resident stamp in his passport and email it to u.

If u av gone through the thread from 1-3, u will see likely questions.

VO no care about y invitation letter. Just make sure u know the person inviting u, the status, how long the person has stayed in USA , what the person does, and how did the person come to USA.

Make sure u demonstrate y ties well. If u are single and if it is y job that is y tie ps demonstrate it well for VO. Know what u do for a living, how long u av bin working there. (Make sure that u av years of experience and even if u are new in y work mention the previous employment for the VO, know the duties of y job.
Know the purpose of visit and goggle interesting places u will like to visit in the state u are going.

Hello please I need a candid advice on this matter.

I am planning to go back to the UK with my child to meet her father who resides in the UK and has also gotten his permit. But I don't know how to go about it.

I have been traveling to the UK since 2011 as a student my Uncle(a British citizen) has been inviting me but I have been visiting my hubby too. The last time I went to UK was 2014 and i came back 2015 and I went to put to bed I was told to pay for the bills which I just finished paying.

Now I want to go back with my child, I have changed my name on my passport as married to my hubby name who has also gotten his permit but my cousin still wants to invite me as usual, my child has a UK BC I have finished paying the NHS bills.

My question is
Do I need to disclose in my application that my hubby lives in the UK and I will also be visiting him during my stay or I should say he resides in Nigeria?

Meanwhile his address and that of my Uncle are both on my Child's BC

If I claim he resides in Nigeria I hope its not going to affect me wen he wants to apply for stay permit for me and my child

And if I claim he resides in the UK will they need his passport data page to know his status in the UK and won't they assume that I may not want to come back to 9ja and then refuse my visa.

And also my hubby doesn't want to be the one to invite us now due to long time response by home office.... He just wants a faster way since I have been traveling to d UK before. The application takes too long and a bit expensive especially for 2 people....

Please kindly advice me on what to do. I will be filling the application form anytime soon.

Thanks

My advice since y hubby have gotten his Indefinite leave to remain (ILR) or permanent residency (PR) ps indicate in your application that u are going to visit y hubby, this will even boost y spouse application when y hubby is ready to fille for u and yr kid, atleast the consulate officer will know that u av been visiting y hubby. Put y hubby address, indicate the status he has and even attached copies of his passport and residential stamp. If u say he reside in Nigeria it will affect y spouse application in future.

Since y hubby has a permanent stay in the UK no need to be afriad, the consulate officer will not denial u visit bc u want to visit y hubby.

Dear Justwise, Ekpotek and other gurus in the house kindly advise on this please. My father in-law has been to the UK thrice; 2008; 2010 and 2012. He's a senior citizen/retiree now. He did less than 10 days in his first two visits. His third was after his retirement from service, he spent about three months even though he entered with the intention of doing four weeks. What effect does this have?
The major issue now is that while filling his form for renewal we came across a part asking if he received medical care in the UK. Yes, he did, a check up on a suspected diabetic condition, he even has an NHS number to worsen matters. Next is if he paid? No, he didn't. We are told this will affect his application. Hubby's cousin in the UK advises not to state that he received medical care in the UK. Isn't that more trouble? Is there a way we can get to know this bill and pay up or what do we do?
Currently, he has valid US and Canada visas (he hasn't been to these places yet) and had wanted to see all three countries this summer (Central London, Manhattan and Downtown Toronto specifically) paying personally for the UK part of the trip (booked an hotel around the Buckingham Palace area for four days already), he has about 3.4m in his account currently with a couple of houses to booth even though his pension money is around a 100k, but he receives rent proceeds that averagely could be put around 280k monthly and monthly allowances from his children (all resident in Nigeria but have visas of the above countries and even children born in them with associating costs duly handled), about 130k at least, etc. Is there any hope of renewing this UK visa? Can he apply for the 5yrs visa or repeat the 2yrs visa, or just start afresh from the 6months visa? Thanks ahead for your contributions.

1. There is no any effect the 3months will have on him. The duration of his stay as a visitor is 6months, It is when he over stays after 6months,then he will have trouble. My last vacation to uk last year I stayed 3months with my 2years visa. I came bk and renewed for 5years, when asked to state how long I stayed in my various visits. I stated 3months and the purpose of visit was for vacation and the last visit was 11days on vacation.

2. Please let him d'nt complicate issues on his application by saying he received medical treatment. My advice just tick NO, inorder not to complicate issue. I received medical treatment, I had various GP appointments during my 3months stay and I never paid but when asked in my recent application, I tick NO bc I d'nt want to complicate issues for my self. This days I am not sure, if visitors are allowed to receive FREE medicals. The choice is yours, if u want to click YES, get ready to explain and submit receipts of medical treatment. There is no any trouble he will encount if he ticks NO. My advice just tick NO.

3. Your father in-law is financially able to sponsor him self, with all these u mentioned, there is hope for him. All he needs to do is place all his financial documents together, that includes the houses for rent, all statements of accounts, including pension he should go ahead and apply for 5years, this will save him the stress of applying every year especially if he is a frequent traveler. The 5years visa goes for N321,00

US Embassy Cancel Visa Already Issued To 10 Nigerians For Trying To Claim Asylum In Canada
2018/05/22 19:22:59gistmania.com

It has to come to this before Nigerians pay any seriousness to this issue, most Nigerians are now getting a visit, conference, study (just any kind of visa to land them into the USA) and try to get to the Canadian border to cross into Canada and claim Asylum, the numbers grew so much that the Canadian government had to raise an official petition to the US government to tackle the problem at the source - Which is what the US embassy in Nigeria is doing. The report is that some Nigerians (10 of them) were already granted visas and were ready to travel, but were stopped at the MMA before they board their flights and told to see the consulate at the US embassy, where there visas were subsequently cancelled because they were travelling towards New York, which is the closest city to cross to canadian border on arrival - this arouse the suspicion of the US officers. See the full gist below:

**because they were travelling towards New York, which is the closest city to cross to canadian border on arrival - this arouse the suspicion of the US officers..**

For those applying to new York or other states close to border, think twice and change your location.

Thanks so much for your response.
Please, I don't mind if you guild me through on what and what documents to be summited . If I see there is not enough doc. To back up the application , may choose not to apply and consider it some other times.

Cos the store aspect is giving me concern as there might not be a enough proof for it, except for the receipts I receive at the point of purchase. If I had knew, I would have given the customers I knw that do transfer a separate acct. never knew I would consider going with the friend.

And what proof do I need to to show the Eco that my sis. Is the one that manages the store?

Note:- It is not all small scale business in Nigeria that are registered ps. If u d'nt av all the proof, the little u have state it clearly well.
All my applications I did, i explain 2 the consulate officer that apart from my permanent job I also run a teaching program during my weekend and I get some of my extra income from it. Aleast I get 100k monthly. My clients pay me in cash or they pay into my account.The business was not registered, the only thing I attached as proof was my degree certificate showing I am teaching the course I studied at uni,then i made a business profile for it and my visa was approved. This is a one man business and not all that are registered.
Since u av a store, and y customers pays into y account, make a small profile of y store and state there what u sell and how much u sell them. U can state that y younger sister runs it week days and u assist during y weekend and public holidays, if u av receipt of goods sold attached it as proof.

Hello house

Thanks for always sharing ur ideas and experiences,it has been helpful...I got married few weeks ago and I got my passport newly with no travel history while I was single and I will like to go for my honeymoon in the US with my husband who has a visa already with a good travel history.
I also work in a bank
My questions are:
1. Do I need to change my name as I already have marriage cert with his name before applying
2. What are the necessary things to expect please
3.What are my chances of getting a visa with no travel history and with the passport bearing my oldname

1. There is no need changing y name. The name u will use in the application form is the name on your recent passport. If the passport is bearing y madien name that is what u will use, if it is bearing y hubby name u use it. The instruction given on the application form is input the name as it appears on y passport.
2.if u go through this tread well (from part 1-3) u will see similar questions the VO asked applicants that av the same honeymoon vacation like u.
Likely questions :- VO will like to know the purpose u are traveling. Just tell VO that u and hubby are going for honeymoon, u just had y wedding and u choose to visit USA to enjoy y moon.
The VO can ask u were u are working, position, duties, monthly salary, how long u av been working in the bank. The VO can also ask u about y hubby,tell him he has a visa already, carry a photocopy of hubby visa or u take his passport with u to interview.
VO can ask about y hubby job.The VO may ask if u and hubby av travel together. May ask why u choose to travel to USA for moon, may ask tourist attractions u will like to visit.
3. No body can tell u the chances of getting visa only the VO knows. Some people av testify getting visa with no travelling history. However for y hubby aving travelled to USA i think that can also help. The old name on y passport does not matter.
Just parpare very well and pray. All the best

I am not sure they will know that u fill another form. The application form they will use is the one u presented the barcode on the day of interview. Just make sure that the barcode is the same with de schedule appointment. Others can also contribute ps

Hello House, thanks for the knowledge you people have been sharing.

I have some couple of questions to ask hopefully people will be able to help out.

I have been denied b1/b2 twice last year. Was seeking to go to the US for a conference although i blamed myself for the refusal because i wasn't prepared at all ( shy and lacked confidence) and yet to know about this site( This must have been the most underrated site ever). I was asked some question that i would have answered but fear catch me i con dey stammer . I had just a single travel history to India before my refusal but i have strengthen that by visiting Abu dhabi after i was refused.
Secondly my role at work has changed and my salary has improved and i own a car now.

I have scheduled my interview for July and still applying for the same conference.

My questions are:
1. what reason should i give for my initial refusal in my ds160. Should i just say according to 214b i failed to demonstrate i have ties that will compel me to return to my country or is there a way i can juice this up a bit
2. how bad Will the initial double refusal affect my chances
3.If you make a mistake in your ds160 form and you update and correct it after you have submitted initially, will the consular see the edited info.

Thanks.

I want denial beacuse of insufficient ties or that the VO was not satisfied with my ties. I believe my circumstances av improved, my role at work has changed and my salary has improved.
2. The double refusal will not affect y chances of getting visa. Just prepare your self well.
3. I d'nt really get question 3. Some1 else can assist ps
