You don't need to bring any paper from your office but it wouldn't hurt your application if you do.

Your brother in church can apply if he earns enough to take a foreign trip.

Okay sir. Thanks. But please in the application form where I am asked the name of my employer should I write the new name of the company there and explain in the additional information se tion?

justwise:
This is not a big deal but you need to explain it in your visa application form.

Okay sir. But please do i need to get them any document from my office which shows how they changed their name or i can just explain that my company recently changed the company name and that is why the salary narration and the letter head paper to be used for Recommendation letter changes? Thanks. Please a brother in my church asked me today if he can apply for UK visit visa because he started his job 1 year ago so he is thinking 1 year is not good enough to apply but I told him I will help him ask here.

Good evening house. Please I have a question to ask. My employment letter shows the name of my employer as JOY VENTURES LIMITED but below that they wrote PHARMACEUTICAL DIVISION on that same letter head used for my appointment letter, meaning am employed to work in their PHARMACY department where they sell pharmaceutical products. But recently my company changed their name in the bank and whenever we are paid our salary it usually shows JOY PHARMACY AND SUPER STORE LIMITED. Hope this won't affect my application? Please I want to know before my application is made. Thank you.

Hello gurus in the house, i need your help.

I was refused a visa 2 months ago despite travel history to the UK as the officer stated he was not convinced the funds in my accounts were mine to spend ( i submitted 2 savings accs).

I was advised by an agent to run my company account and to pay myself salary each month, while also creating payslips. How accurate is this? Thanks for your time.

Please post the refusal letter here.

Please must we explain why we make withdrawals from our account? I think they are only concerned with credits made into our account. Though I have not applied but there was a day I withdrew 600k from my account at once out of about 1m in the account. Did I have to explain why I withdrew such amount?

ekpotek:
Yes register it and apply next year.

Letters from her top client saying something about her business and her character.

If children will stay with grandparents. Then get a letter from grandparents accepting to take care of the kids while both of you are away.

Supporting documents should be those relating to the business.

Thank you sir.

ekpotek:
Sure she can sponsor herself. The question both of you will need to answer is why leave your 2 children behind? Who will take care of them while your’re away? If she has supporting documents and a good records of her fashion business, backed up with references from her clients, then she can apply. However, she will need to convince the ECO why her business is unregistered till now.

Thank you sir. Please can she register it now and apply next year? What did you mean by 'references from her clients'. Their children will stay with the grandparents. Please what kind of supporting documents are you talking about?

Good morning house. Please I have a friend who is a fashion designer, her shop is not registered with CAC so she doesn't pay tax. She uses her personal bank account for all the money paid by her customers. Her husband's UK visa just expired and both of them want to go to UK together now on visit so her husband will apply for 2years and she will apply for 6months. Can she say she want to sponsor her trip herself or her husband can sponsor her? Her husband's salary is 250k monthly. If she want to sponsor herself how can she go about it because her fashion designing shop is not registered. They have 2 children but they are not going with them.

Hello everyone in the house.

I wish to salute Justwise, Ekpotek and all other gurus on this forum. Well done for the selfless service being rendered to humanity. I have been a silent follower for years, but decided to make this post in the hope that some persons will benefit therefrom.

My wife and I applied for UK Visit Visas and we were both given. She applied for 6 months, while I did for 2 years. She is a 1st time applicant, while I have been to the UK once, like 7 years ago. Then I was given a 2 year HSMP work visa, but only travelled once and stayed for 14 days. I have other international travel histories, though.

Our time lines are as follows:

1. Submitted online applications at about 10 October 2018;

2. Biometrics was done at the TLSContact Ikeja on 18 October 2018;

3. Emails received from TLS informing us that applications have been transferred to UKVI for processing on 18 October 2018;

4. Emails from UKVI informing that our online applications have been received on 24 October 2018;

5. Emails from TLSContact Ikeja informing that our passports are ready for collection on 1 November 2018;

6. We picked up our passports at the TLSContact Ikeja on 6 November 2018 and found that the passports have been stamped with UK Visit Visas.

Our Supporting Documents are as follows:

1. Letters from our respective employers showing when we were employed, our annual pay and plan to travel to the Uk;

2. Our payslips for 6 months;

3. Our salary account statements for 6 months. She had a credit balance of about N500k, while I had a credit balance of about N1.1m;

4. Photocopies of all our international passports [in colour];

5. Our respective retirement savings account statements;

6. Our respective fixed deposit statements. She had N6m, while I had N7.5m to mature in early December 2018;

7. Letters explaining that the funds in the fixed deposits would be available to us for our travel;

8. Our hotel reservation on booking.com;

9. Marriage certificate;

10. 2 family pictures;

11. A schedule of our itinerary in London which shows all the interesting places we planned to visit in London;

12. Breakdown of our respective costs of travel, i.e feeding, tickets, accommodation, intra-city transport. We ensured our respective costs were not up to our 2 months salaries;

13. Our children's birth certificates;

14. Our landed property document, jointly owned; and

15. Rent receipt for our present accommodation.


I do hope the information above would assist, at least, one person in his visa application.

I wish all the UK Visit Visa applicants success.

Please how much did you state as your salary? Did you said you want to sponsor your wife or she sponsored herself? Please give us a hint of how much your budget for the trip was. Thank you sir.

ekpotek:
Only the ECO can determine that.

But please can I write in the form that I just discovered I have a cousin or that I just got in touch with him after my last application?

Ojoaccess:
Good afternoon all. Please I once applied for a visit visa to the UK and it was granted. I was asked in the form if i have a relative in the UK and i wrote my sister's name being the one who invited me then. I forgot to write in the form that I also have a cousin in the UK. Now my cousin want to invite me. Is this not going to count against my application? Thanks as I awaits your response.

Someone should please respond to my post.
