Assuming you are conducting this nanny job illegally, something happens to the child, requiring investigation....

How do you intend to tackle this situation?...... huh
Lol! Too much questions. I do nanny's job only for my family relations who can cover me up. The person even employing you as illegal nanny knows that he or she needs to cover u. Otherwise the legal person is the one that will land himself in problem. Why must he hire an illegal nanny? Lol if not looking for cheaper pay. Lol

So for a whole 6 months, nah either house husband or house wife, the person go be?..... huh


Feed us back.......
Not really. One can get a nanny's work and be able to safe for spouse visa. I am not sure one have to stay for the whole six months. I guess after your marriage you can apply for spouse visa immediately and pay for NHS fees BC fiance visa d'nt pay for NHS fees. I really need assistance of those that have gone through this route to put me through please. Thank you

Oh ok! You will spend more money and you will have to proof that you’ve been in relationship for at least 2years if you’re going down fiancé visa application route.

Bear in mind that, you’ll not be allowed to work whilst on fiancé visa until you change your status and fiancé visa won’t count towards your 5years indefinite leave to remain.
Many thanks for your response. Too much to spend. But can I go to my university to get my degree certificate and transcript and use it as test of English? I studied Germany language in school and I hope it will be accepted? Thanks for your time

What are the requirements for this type of visa?..... huh
It is the same requirements with spouse visa. The only thing that is different is that you d'nt have court marriage certificate. U have to come to UK and give notice of marriage for 28days when u marry then u apply for spouse visa.

For fiance visa one is only given six months, and one cannot work with it. Unlike spouse visa that u are given 2.5 years. And you can work with it.

Do yourself a big favour and follow Lexusgs430's advice!

This will help you such that when next you're asking questions, such questions will be very specific haven gone through a lot of info

By the way, why are you considering fiance visa over spouse visa? Regardless of any amount you spend on fiance visa, you will end up spending nearly £2k for spouse visa application (non-priority service) if you eventually get into the UK
Thanks for respond. The reason is partner can't come down to Nigeria due to work. So that means one is spending twice for the both visa?

Hello Nairalander,
Please I need your advice as regard the refusal letter
Thanks
@justwise
As regard your refusal there are some unexplainable money that comes to your account which is not relating to your salary. U did not explain the money to them that was why u were denied. Next application u will have to explain to the ECO all the credits u did not declare with proof. Check the statement of account and sort out all the big money and know how it came in and explain.

Good evening house, i need an idea on what type of document showing strong ties to my home country with which to support my application(visiting) . I'm single , i work with one of the multinational coy here , from which ive gotten an introductory letter and tax notification , the only ties i've got to show is my job
Your job in a multinational is a very strong ties for you. U can add your family if u have any in Nigeria. U will write in a cover letter to ECO that u will definitely return back to your home country after your vacation because you have siblings or family which you are very much attached to. ( So your family serves as ties too). You can add pictures of you and your family

I dont think adding shopping to it is a must, besides i've booked a cheap hostel as to make my budget reasonable
Even if you book the cheapest hostel to make your budget reasonable. If the budget is not sufficient enough for your duration of stay the ECO will still refuse you visa.

Shopping is not a must but there is no one that have gone to UK as a visitor that does not shop even if it is the cheapest thing for your family. Let the ECO d'nt see u as bin selfish grin not wanting to spend y money in their country. Make your budget look rich in the eyes of the ECO. My advice

When u said the budget is small, don't you think budget can be reduced by booking a cheap hostel instead of an expensive hotel?
Yes, buget can be reduced by booking a cheap hostel instead of hotel. But even if you reduced the buget by booking cheaper hostel. If the budget is not sufficient for your trip the ECO will still refuse visa. U will need to satisfy the ECO that u have sufficient money to visit, u are not coming to UK to depend on public funds or work to get money.

In her application the budget she stated is N327,000 there about. She might have book cheaper accommodation to reduce buget, but from this amount if you remove flight fare estimated 250k, she is left with 77k, let assume she booked cheap accommodation like 38k for seven days. She will be left with 39k which is very poor for other expenses. ECO will be afraid to give such a person visa bc the person might be stranded in the UK and think of overstaying or working to feed for the duration of stay.

From your recent post u stated this

"I booked a hostel for 7 days at #38,220 that's £84"

You could have gotten the visa if you had reduced your budget and not to have stated your brother as a dependent
The budget in the first place is small for 7days trip and you still talk about reduced shocked. How much you want her to reduce it to? To 250? Or what? No way that she can be given visa with such budget she stated in her application. From her buget once the flight fare is removed, then what is left? Who then takes care of her living expenses and accommodation in the UK. The ECO is not satisfied that she can fund the trip which is obvious in the refusal letter.

If she has a dependent she should state it, it is left for her to know the amount she gives to her dependant . Let the amount be reasonable to the salary she earns.

Good day everyone in the house, I have just been refused tourist visa below are their reasons for refusal
So sorry about the refusal. Just encourage your self in the lord. and work on your refusal and when your circumstances changes you can apply again. I will advice you to cool down, organise y self then after six months you make a fresh application.

The reasons for the refusal are obvious. The ECO is not satisfied of your personal and financial circumstances. The salary is not sufficient to travel with the dependant you have. The budget stated for seven days is twice your income. The ECO is also not convinced that you will return to home country after your short visit.
Your salary is not much. U can get additional job as part time to boost your salary in next application. So from your permanent and additional job your salary can increase. So from all sources of income after tax u can earn more than your current salary. All the best

Hello gurus in this great forum, I'm submitting my UK visa application soon and below are what i have been able to provide.

3, Objection letter from my employer
4, 6 months bank statement with payslips
5, Hotel reservation for 7 days
6, Cover letter of my Itinerary
7, Pre booked flight reservation
8, Married certificate and pictures
9, Cover letter explaining the irregularities in my bank statement and prove of rent payment recived
10, Documents of my property

7 days trip costs #359,700 and that includes flight ticket.

Do i still need a leave letter or the Objection letter has covered it or what more is needed?

you only need introduction letter which the body of the letter covers your leave


I need advice
What do you mean by objection letter?
You don't need pre booked flight reservation. Not relevant. Till u get your visa you can book flight.

Your 7days buget for your trip is too small. What of your living cost, transport fare to visit sight attractions, little shopping. Pls work on your budget. Moreso your budget need to include your hotel reservation. U also need six months payslips.

Total buget estimate:-
Flight fare
Accommodation
Living expenses
Transportation fare to visit tourist attractions
Shopping

you only need introduction letter which the body of the letter covers your leave details.

Please post your refusal bf submitting to cross check all

Yes I think there are no more stickers... because I just received mine few days ago..and it looked like this.
Though I applied from Ireland though... cos I school here in Ireland..
Thanks for your response. Please is your own for six months? When did u submit? Why I am concern is that the person in question submitted on the 18th of April at Abuja, the visa was just received last week Friday. With the stating date to be 18/07/2019 to 18/01/2019 and the other date as 09/05/19. Did home office made mistake? Why puting starting date as July when we are still in June, is it a new way update? Kindly send me the dates put on y visa please. Thank you.

Thank you very much for your prompt response to my question. However, from what I read I can see that the process is very stringent. You also suggest a fiance visa. Could you please be more kind to explain the fiance visa process to me and possibly suggest any other way you think my brother and the lady could find an easy way to

[/b]The lady in question is not that financially buoyant as she has a little back injury and depends on government for upkeep.[b]

Thanks as always.
For the fiance visa, it is the same thing with the spouse visa, u will need to meet all the requirements as the spouse visa. The only thing on fiance visa is that the lady doesn't need to come to Nigeria for court marriage, atleast she will safe money. She will need to fille for finance visa for y brother, when he applys . The fiance visa is just six months which gives u permission to enter the UK and get married to your spouse, bf the visa expires, u will need to apply for the spouse visa to give you right to remain legal in the UK. The spouse visa is given 2.5 years after the 2.5years expires, your brother reapply again using all the requirements and another 2.5years is given to him. So when he stays in the UK for 5years, he applys for ILR( Indenfite leave to remain). After one year he applys for citizen. Note: with the finance visa y brother can not work till he gets his spouse visa. The best is the spouse visa if the British lady can come to Nigeria to get married. The spouse visa is straight. The fiance visa is only meant for those who their partners can not come to Nigeria and get married or u are in relationship to join y spouse, u apply for fiance visa.

If the lady do not meet all the requirements, the best is for your brother to apply for visiting visit, get an invitation from his lady and keep visiting her, till she has all requirements to fille for him .

The lady in question is not that financially buoyant as she has a little back injury and depends on government for upkeep.[b]

Please the lady in question must meet all the requirements bf she can bring in your bros. They ECO wants to see that the sponsor which is the lady need to take care of y brother without recourse to public funds. That is why I said let your brother get a lot of informations from her to be sure she meets all the requirements to bring him. Been a British citizen without meeting spouse requirements is a No for ECO.

The only advice let your bros get either a visiting visa and keep visiting till the lady gets all requirements. If the lady is unable to get the requirements, y bros av to learn to live seperatly through frenquent visiting, which is very expensive. He will keep renewing his visa till it reaches atleast five years. Let him think twice bf jumping into this marriage.

My previous visa issued in Oct 2018 had the seal you’re talking about, but my current visa don’t have it. I submitted my application on 3rd May 2019 and got my passport 31st May and saw that the seal isn’t there. From my investigation, I leant that the seal is no longer on visit visas issued from November 2018.
Regarding this the visa date, you should ask the applicant if he stated on his application that he was to travel in July, but I still don’t think that’s enough for the visa validity to start in July.
Please what date did they put on y visa validity? From what date? My friend submitted on 16 April and he just got his passport today. Thank you
