Honestly that’s not enough,

He should add your marriage certificate, your British data page, your child’s birth certificate and your child’s British data page too. It wouldn’t make sense for him to overstay a 6 months visiting visa when he can potentially get a spousal visa if you decide to move back to the UK and get a job.

I also included my work documents (I’m British) so they can see I have a job here and don’t plan to live in England with my husband right now, and if I do decide to, it wouldn’t be to over stay a visiting visa.

This has worked for us both times.

Hello, thanks for the response. He submitted the following documents;

-CAC Docs
-6 months Personal and Company Bank Statement
-Pay slips (he pays himself a salary)
-Cover Letter
-Itinerary
-Letter of Invite from friend for where he was going to stay

Reason for refusal was he did not show enough proof to validate his source of income. We assumed CAC and bank statements was more than enough.

Hi good evening, I and my daughter are also British and my husband Nigerian. Can I ask what documents you submitted? My husband just collected his second UK visa, maybe you can add more documentation (depending on what was submitted)

Hello House,

Please I need some advise. My husband is trying to re-apply for a 6 month visit visa, he has been refused before and reasons had to do with finances. They mentioned we didn't show enough proof to show his source of income. He submitted his CAC, 6 Months bank statements both company and personal which showed he was paying himself a salary. His business is SME with sales of products ranging from 6k-20k with daily credits as he makes sales every day. He also does side businesses here and there like buying and selling of phones and accessories, building websites and payments for these are deposited in his account but he was not able to show more proof on how the payments were received even though he wrote a covering letter explaining all this. He also did not intend to spend from his company account which he clearly stated and had a closing balance of over 2m in his personal account with no lodging and transactions of each sale or repair of gadgets are clearly stated in his personal bank statements but I don't think the visa officer took time to read the statement line by line. I think they wanted invoices and receipts of every single transaction even though it's a side business.

We intend to re-apply again to travel in November as a family what proof can we include for finances. Also my daughter and I are both British citizens but we live here because I work here and my husband's business is here. Will this affect our application, as they may think he intends to stay there. What else can we show as proof that he is going to return. I will appreciate advise and suggestions please.

Pls @NiksO21 did you submit receipt for debit and credit transaction on your husband company account.


Good evening, no we didn’t. Just the invoices for payments (credits) that were above 300k. But no explanation for the debits.

[quote author=wolepopo post=102476541]Congrats to your husband. Wish him a safe flight to the UK. I wanted to ask if this was a standard application or priority?

Regards.


Hi, it was a standard application, self service also. Thank you so much we will be heading there next month.

Hello house, please is there anybody that has recently applied for France tourist visa from Nigeria. If there is kindly respond. OR is there a forum for France tourist visa. Thank you.

Hi, I tried to do it for my husband, they won’t let you apply till after the 9th June when their borders open for tourism. You will also have to show that you’ve been fully vaccinated (2 doses) to be able to go their for tourism.

Hi Everyone,

Been a silent reader for years, just wanted to share my husbands visa process and timeline.
My husband was the only one in our family that needs a visa because myself and our daughter are British Citizens. He had a visa that expired last June that he only used once because of covid. For that application we stated he was going for a course that was sponsored by a company but that he would also be visiting my mum who lives in London. (Didn’t even end up doing the course)

We decided this year to apply for a new one with the sole intention to visit my mum.

Submission: 20th May 2021
Biometrics: 25th May 2021
Collection Email and Text: 7th June 2021

We picked up the passport today with the visa.

We submitted:
CAC certificate
Company Account Statement (6 Months)
Invoices (of the higher payments)
Marriage Certificate
Daughters Birth Certificate
Wife’s British Passport Data Page
Daughters British Passport Data Page
Flight itinerary
Invitation from My mum
Covid Vaccination
Mums Data Page
Mums Gas Bill (x2)
Tenancy Agreement
Tenancy Receipt of Payment
Wife’s Letter from Work stating what she does and how much she earns

I just wanted to also say that my daughter and I being British isn’t automatic. 4 years ago he also got a refusal. @giselle you’re definitely right about there not being a set way to submit company accounts. My husband submitted only his company account and pays himself no salary, he literally spends money as he needs to.

Opening Balance: 250k
Closing balance: 2.1m

Thank you everyone for letting me know what to add to his application
