For my parents application for 6-months visitor visa, budget was 3000 GBP for 2 weeks and I stated that I will fully sponsor their trip. They are both self-employed.

Timeline (Standard): TLS Abuja
3rd June: Submitted online application
12th June: Submitted documents and biometrics
3rd July: Passport ready for pickup (13 working days ex. public holidays)
Picked up passports the next day with both visas approved (valid from 29th June)

These are the documents we submitted with their application:

Mine:
1. Original Invitation Letter
2. Copy of BRP and my passport data page
3. Birth certificate
4. Tenancy agreement
5. 6-months payslip
6. 6-months bank statement savings account (2K in this account)
7. 6-months bank statement salary account (3K in this account)

Parents:
1. Cover letter, signed by both of them
2. Company CAC certificate of their registered company
3. Their office tenancy agreement
4. 6-months bank statement from both of them
5. Excel table explaining deposits into their account (I can share a format if anyone's interested)
6. Land C of O and sales agreement
7. C of O of their residential house
8. Marriage certificate

FYI, they didn't submit any tax certificate, I was a bit worried about that but thank God it didn't matter. Now to start hunting for cheap tickets!

Hello everyone. I would really appreciate some advice.

I am currently filling out the marriage visitor visa application form as I plan to visit the UK in order for myself and my fiance, who is a British citizen to get married at the registry. I would then return to Nigeria immediately afterwards. We plan on settling in the UK later on in the future at which point I know I would then have to apply for the[b] spousal visa.[/b]

I would like any advice anyone can give to help ensure this application is successful. I would also like to know if anyone on here has personally filled/submitted the same form (UK Marriage Visitor Visa). If anyone has can you please tell me if it was successful and also share a comprehensive list of the process and most especially of the documents you had to submit.

Also I was refused a visa to the UK in 2012 when I applied to go for my master's degree. Reason given was that I applied too close to my course start date. I quickly got another admission to a different school and reapplied in about 3 weeks and I was then granted.

I would be really really grateful if someone (or more) reaches out with some helpful information/advice as I need to submit the form very very soon.

Thank you.

You need to be carful , as I smell instant refusal here. Applying to go visit a spouse in the UK actually reduces chances of obtaining a visit visa. ECO will doubt you aren’t trying to avoid the spouse visa process and just want to step in with visitor visa and then become an overstayer .

Based on Your Story, I presume you “married” your husband after obtaining your last UK visitor visa. And I hope your marriage certificate also proves that. If it’s not the case, don’t attempt visitor visa again. There is no way around it. Even if you want to claim your hubby is in Nigeria, you are shooting yourself the more.

Another blunder , uncle is inviting and sponsoring you but you want to also visit your husband . My dear even if the eco is drunk at the time of processing your application , it’s a huge red flag. He/she will doubt you will rerun and will most likely refuse your visa.

Another blunder, if you intend migrating to the UK anytime, do not lie again about Who your husband is . Cos it will hunt you.

It’s not really rocket science , I am sure you already know these things.

Best approach... go down the spouse visa route. Not sure how the visitor visa will play out.

I think you have covered the basics with the documents mentioned above. But to clarify, the apartment is a 1-bed or 2-bed with other functional spaces. right?

All the best!

Senior Men and Boss Ladies in the house, I greet all of una. Please I will submit my online application on Friday 2nd November and I want you guys to kindly go through my checklist if I don miss something. Just trying to do my assignment right.

Please note that my application is a bit different because I am applying from Germany. I live here on a student visa. So there are some things on the list that applicants from Nigeria dont need and things I dont need as well bcoz I am applying from Germany like the Tuberculosis test.

I got a UK marriage Visitor Visa and did my wedding in the UK. I am a regular customer to UKVI and I have six visit visas (all 6 months) of which the last is still valid. Been to the UK 7 times already this year and I have never spent more than 10 days on each trip. I just hope my good record with them helps in a positive way towards my spouse visa applcation.

For the financial requirement, I dey use Category B option. That's why I have 12 months payslip and bank statements on my checklist.
