Good morning, my piece of advice, apply as tourist, I saw a reject on 20th Feb 2023, application was refused cos she didn’t proof relationship with claimed uncle, though the main reason for refusal was cos they couldn’t get to the employer to confirm her employment.

But if you can prove the relationship with conversations, you can give it a try.


Why didn't your employer take his/her call? The next option is for your employer to write to the embassy

Hello house,

I’m trying to apply for a UK visa for my mum.
Here is my situation -
1. I live in Canada and would be sponsoring the trip. She has previously been denied a Canadian visa however, we have reapplied.
2. My sister travelled to UK last December with a tier 2 visa and would not be sponsoring as her account isn’t too buoyant
3. My mum is retired (she used to run a personal business) and now lives off her rent for her property and her biweekly stipends from me.
4. She has about 3.5+million in her bank account. I would be covering the cost of her flight ticket and accommodation
5. She has had several UK visas before now but her last visa expired almost 10 years ago
6. The purpose of her travel was usually to visit her sister who is a UK citizen so I’m thinking of putting purpose of visit as to see her sister who has hasn’t seen in about 3 years (her sister came to Naija 3 years ago) and to also see her daughter.
Would this fly?
What documents would I need to support this application?
I’m also considering buying a flight ticket and paying for Airbnb. Would this fly?

Thank you so much guys.

Good evening all. I am applying for a UK visa for a family of 5, the wife and four children
I have paid for the application fee but I am having issue with booking appointments for biometrics. I have paid 44k for flexi for the family so all of us can go same day, should I need to pay for other 4 children to secure same appointments?

Plenase I need your assistance

Hi all! I'm trying to go through the DS form. There is a place asking where I'm staying. Can I put the address and contact of the hotel I intend to stay? Also which states and places are tourist attractions? Thanks

Lordkross:
Good afternoon Gurus, I really appreciate all the work you put in to the group.

Please guys, I need a final run through of the required documents I need to go to the Embassy with for my B1/B2 Visa Interview in 3 day time... don't want to leave anything to chance with these agents.

I just printed both my DS 160 Confirmation, Appointment Confirmation, printed my 6 months Account Statement (80 Pages ).

10 months of wait is almost over and I hope for a favorable response.

More suggestions would be appreciated!

Thanks all

So I got my parcel delivered today. My passport and all the documents sent to the embassy returned intact. However, there was a white paper inserted that I was refused under 221 (g) and that I should login to my profile and select a date for an in-person interview on the calender. This isnt a problem and I think they returned it back because I wrote on the cover letter that I would be visiting the UK soon before the visa expires later this month. I even included a copy of the round trip ticket as evidence of a pending trip. I'm only wondering if they checked those documents at all as everything was returned intact including the cover letter.

AbbeyBidemi:

Thanks a lot for responding. attached is the rejection letter

Hi People,

Hello guys, my interview was supposed to be on Monday 4th April, 2022 but the Embassy just emailed this to be that it rescheduled to on the 7th.

I just want to confirm if it is normal?

Thanks

Same issue here. Submitted 1st March; Visa issued 7th March; Visited DHL twice and told the passport wasn't with them. I called the embassy customer service line, but they were not helpful as always. Eventually sent the Lagos consulate an email (LagosNIV@state.gov) two days ago and got a response today - see picture. Will be going back to DHL tomorrow. They have to find it.
Your passport is likely with DHL. They are just really sloppy.

Hello Everyone,

I submitted my document for IW on the 1st of March(the exact date my eligibility for IW expire, I got date on 28th of February).

my document status shows "refused" on the 3rd of March, picked up my document from DHL on the 9th of March and was asked to come any Thursday for followup appointment. I was there last week Thursday, 17th of March, 2022. The followup interview went well, just two questions was asked and the VO said my document will be ready within 3 business working days.

I tracked my document today, status show "Administrative Processing" last updated on the 17th of March, 2022, the day I attended the followup interview.

Am worried, because I expect it should be on "Issued" and probably "ready for pickup" by now.

what could be the cause of the delay in processing my document?

Thanks for your responses.

zblade:
Is anyone experiencing this....Havnt received a pick up mail...and i submitted since 8th of March....

Blessedluvdfavd:


UPDATE: I sent them an email and they said she was sent a letter requesting a recent passport photograph and they can proceed once they receive the photo! Yay! She wasnt given this letter at DHL Benin, she was only given her passport book. Anyone that has done this, I'm assuming she can send the photo along with her passport through the DHL office she picked her passport from. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks!

profmutant:
Thanks. But this is the literally the first thing i did before even calling them. I'm basically just waiting, Just want to know if there is anybody here in a similar situation or if there are any tips other than the obvious ones that we all know.

Cheekybae:
Good afternoon all,

My mum dropped her documents for IW appointment on Monday last week and today when I checked, it showed “administrative processing”.

Please has anyone experienced this and what could it mean?

Good evening Nairalanders, hope you're all having a lovely weekend.

Please I am trying to renew my visa and need help me with these questions:

1. In the application form, what is meant by 'locations you plan to visit in the US?' Is it a reference to tourist sites or cities within the US?

2. Will it impact my application in any way, if I arrive in one state (e.g Washington) and depart from another (e.g California)? I need to know how best to respond to the question about arrival and departure City and this will also help me plan my movement within the US.

Thank you all so much
