Good day!
I've been searching for a suitable and affordable school to run my Msc I'd appreciate if you can tell me about the school you applied to.

liberallatty:
1. My PhD is 3 years with an additional year for writeup. That's if I didn't finish within the 3 years. However, the ihs system calculated a 4 and half years payment for me at 3492.

2. I didn't have to pay for school fee as I'm on full funding/scholarship. However, I paid my ihs and visa fee through a friend in the UK.

3. Yes, including the bank charges.

Please what documents was asked to be submitted?

Uzonma:
Yes they reached out after two days but requested for additional documents.

Additional documents submitted, waiting for reply.

Good day bro

Most of my documents are more than 5mb I've tried compressing. Is there another way I could do it.
Please assist

davodyguy:
Are you going to see that person?

Otherwise, ignore.

Not that they're going to trace you when you get in.

Anyone you'll be seeing and is a citizen is worth mentioning

Thank you bro last one
In my previous visa application, I did not mention that I have a family friend in the UK. For this application, should I include the intention to visit my family friend, or would it be more appropriate to focus solely on sightseeing and tourism?

davodyguy:
Account you use for daily upkeep is not savings.

Savings are investments that are not touched regularly

TB is savings

In my previous visa application, I did not mention that I have a family friend in the UK. For this application, should I include the intention to visit my family friend, or would it be more appropriate to focus solely on sightseeing and tourism?

Cashmadam:
I strongly suggest you stick to one accomodation. Hotel or family friend. If your trip is for tourism, stick to hotel.

Also, you don't need a flight reservation for UK Visa.

You can put about 1,500 as total estimated cost of the trip. Most of the money will be for your ticket as they are so expensive these days.

Good luck!

Regarding the 'Other Savings' column, should I include both the funds currently in my account and the Treasury Bill (TB), or should I only indicate the value of the TB?"

Cashmadam:
Possibly. You are not expected to stay in a 5 star hotel...

davodyguy:
This is left to you and no one

You're the one travelling, I'll not mention any figure for you

Read my post again, the earlier one.

I already gave a guide on what the cost should be.

Your annual salary is how much and how many months did I say your estimated spending should not exceed?

My salary is 1,199,100
So how much can I use for my estimate travel budget?

davodyguy:
Answer some questions yourself

Do I need to present a flight reservation as part of my supporting documents? No

How much should I indicate as my total estimated cost for the trip? You are the one traveling. How much is ticket, ask Air Peace, how much is transportation, how will feeding be etc. Just make sure the cost is reasonable, not too small or two big compared to your monthly salary. Budget should not exceed 3 months of your monthly salary

I previously applied for a UK visit visa in December of last year but was denied due to discrepancies in the transactions on my salary account. I have since rectified this issue by ensuring that my salary payment description now correctly reflects my income.

Currently, I have a treasury bill (TB) investment of ₦10 million, which is scheduled to mature and be liquidated on the 9th of August. In addition, my salary account holds a balance of ₦10 million. My average monthly expenses are approximately ₦380,000.

For my upcoming trip, I have made a hotel reservation for two days. Following this, I intend to stay with a family friend for an additional four days. My host has already provided a written invitation to support my visit.

Will 1,500 be okay for an 8days visit including accommodation, feeding and flight with other small expenses?

davodyguy:
My initial suggestion was that Yiu should build your account for six months

Opening Balance should not be less than ₦5million

Then end of month 1 Salary only drop into the account

Spend 1/3 as expenses keep 2/3

Do that until end of 5th month

At the start of the 6th Month, apply with you bank statement for 5 months

So let's say you want to apply at the start of June, print statement a day or two before biometrics

Let's say travel date in July, let your TB maturity date be middle of June, so it will not reflect in your account, for them to flag as large deposit.


This is what worked for me 100%

Clean 5 months plus pending FD

Good day! I got denied UK visa in January reason because of am error in the statement of account.
I rectified and continue building the account now I'm set to reapply I have 10m in my account which I built over the month and also have 10m TB. I'd the going for 8 days which I'd spend the first 2days in the hotel which I already made a reservation after that, I'd stay over in a family friend place for the rest day. My friend has written an invitation also put in my itenery for the days I'd be with him.
Please advise on the amount I'd need to state to cover my trip.
A general advice would also go a long way.
Thank you

Cashmadam:
Reapply if you have addressed the reasons for the earlier refusal.

Why were you refused earlier?

Good day
I don't know if you can help me with my UK visa

davodyguy:
When do you want to apply?

I'm asking for the best time to apply please

[quote author=davodyguy post=135370957]Hello bro I've followed your instructions I ran the account again and the TB would be liquidated in August 7
When do you think I should apply for the UK visa , how many months statements should I use?at the moment, I have 8m in the account and I'd still be paid salary by this month end to make it 9m the TB is 10m.
Do I apply before the TB matures or after ?
Please help.

davodyguy:
When do you want to apply?

When do you think I can
I just did another TB again

davodyguy:
Bro, adjust the way you quote abeg

These people would flag your account if you receive any large deposit

Present investment certificate that is still to mature than for it to mature and they see large deposit. They will say you want to outsmart them,

Dont try it

Okay bro I have done the TB again which would be liquidated by August while I continue with the 1.2m salary
What's your advice on this

dende3:
Very Possible,i was refused and after a month i reapplied and got my visa,ensure you treat the reason for refusal well ,dm me if you need assistance

I was refused cos my salary was inconsistent from 400k to 1.2m which I didn't explain in my cover letter
Tho I continued with the salary but my TB Got liquidated in march so I had to do another one which would expire in August
What do you advice

[quote author=Cashmadam post=135277708]It's was said that my salary payment wasn't consistent cos I initially was on 400k salary before increasing it to 1.2 after 3months from another employer which I didn't state on my cover letter and I also stated that I'd be spending 4kpd for 10days which was stated was to much.
That was in January.
I continued the salary of 1.2m which I did TB and it got liquidated by march I had to do another one to be liquidated by August.
Any assistance or suggestions to go about it would be appreciated
Thanks

[quote author=davodyguy post=135274980]Thanks for your assistance
Sorry to bother you.
I already made a treasury bill to be liquidated in August my balance as of now is 7m. I made payment of the treasury bill yesterday
What I meant to say.

[quote author=davodyguy post=135274506]Okay thank you very much.
The treasury bill I did in January liquidated last month making the balance 17m. Hope the amount isn't too much?
