I’m sorry for your refusal.
Your salary is 1M
Opening balance was 7m, whilst closing balance was 30m. That means you accrued 30X your salary in 7 months. If you didn’t sell a property or received some sort of bonus someplace, that looks like fundsparking and it makes your application look bad.

Yes, I made an application for a friend’s mom recently, she got this email and the visa was eventually approved. It took three weeks.

1. Any chances of visa approval from past expedience?

Congratulations brother. Please what email did send to coz I might just withdraw mine too. Thank you

I sent an email to withdraw my application on Friday, picked up my passport today. I did my biometrics on the 19th of March 2024. Got a trip to the US in a few days, so I had to withdraw it. It wasn’t my first time using Italy consulate and it made no sense that the application took forever. [quote author=Break88 post=129455880][/quote]

Edakun, how do I withdraw my application and request for my passport back? I had my biometrics on the 19th of March, but the holidays has dragged out the processing time, and I need my passport back on Wednesday for a planned travel. Whats the fastest way? Go to TLS to start the process or the embassy(I doubt they’d let me in). I’ve sent series of emails sha, but no response yet.

Good Morning. There’s nothing like Inter-family visa, it would still be a B2(Tourism). You can’t legally stay there using your B2 visa, your visa would expire at some point, and using the rule of thumb, you’re not supposed to spend more than six months per visit.

In four years time, it would still be a B2 visa, unless you get employed by an American company(HIB) or a student visa.
Peledonomy:


Thanks for this.

I just need a some clarity on the following.

1. If we go for the inter family visa, will this serve our purpose as we have no intention of returning?

2. I missed out an important detail earlier. The lady he is married to is of a Nigerian decent. She was born in US. She has never been to Nigeria though. They met in UK.
Will this inter family awareness visa still work? Since we are all Nigerians?

2. If we want to wait for like 4 years for my brother to gain his grounds, what kind of visa are we going to be getting?

3. Can we get a job with any of the visas in questions 1 and 2 above?

Thanks

You can’t submit it at the consulate directly. Also, your travel date is near and I doubt you’d get a response before then. You could use France which is faster.

I was at TLScontact office today to use their walk-in option to submit my Italian visa application but I was told the option is no longer available, I can’t book an appointment on their platform, their contact on their website is not working.

That 4k budget is too much sha. Can you evidence the additional income? Does it show on the bank statement?
Izanghi:


She earns around #333k as a banker and additional income of around 20 million. Will 6 months bank statement be enough?
Travel / Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 5 by Opeyemi007: 4:40pm On Mar 18
How much does she earn monthly and what's her disposable income? 6 Million for a four day trip won't fly unless she earns about 4-5m monthly.

You should reduce the budget drastically to the £2-2500 region. When she gets the visa, she could spend 15m and it wouldn't be a problem. Yeah, she'll need a cover letter to explain her situation and ties here in Nigeria. You could write a letter stating you're partially sponsoring the trip with X amount of money. It would help if she could show that you've been sending her money prior till now.
Izanghi:
Hi, everyone. I am a student in USA, but my wife is going on a 4 day tourism visit, she's planning to see some tourist places with no prior travel history, she has a US denial. She works in one of the top banks in Nigeria, and her bank has given her an introductory letter. She is presenting around £4,400 and planned to spend #6 million for the 4 days visit.

So my questions are these:
1) Does she needs a sponsorship letter from me, as she is already stating she's funding herself but gets additional income from me which she will be presenting through her domiciliary bank statement that shows that I normally send money to her.

2) will £4000k+ be enough proof of fund for a 4 days UK visit to London or she should pick some other cheaper UK cities to visit?

3) Is cover letter and hotel booking reservation necessary?

Thanks. I am looking forward to all replies I can get to help her application. God bless you all

Visa Alert
I had a 6 months visa that expired in November. I visited the UK Thrice
Biometrics date March 11 (Priority)
Collection date March 18.
Visa duration 2 years.

I had three prior refusals, I was refused the fourth time(I challenged this and got it overturned). That Visa changed everything for me. Since my last application, I have gotten Schengen, US, Canada visas. If you feel your visa refusal makes no sense, you should challenge it rather than applying again which could lead to another refusal.

Thanks to all the contributors here.

If your sibling will be accommodating you, calculate how much the tickets would cost + maybe 1500 for food and shopping depending on how long you're staying.
GabbyHonda:
Please for a Canadian Visitor visa where a sibling is inviting me, my husband and our 2 toddler kids, how much do we say we plan to spend for the trip. I mean how best do we answer that question - How much money do you have for your stay in Canada? (In Canadian dollars - CAD) [b][/b]

I need guidance so we wont go and put something too small that will jeopardize our application.. My hubby and I have paid office jobs so we have payslips to tender plus a flat and the documents of a flat we own.

We are saying we are both co sponsoring the trip.

Please advise

Schengen Visa is one that facilitates your entry through the member state you applied to, but you can visit other schengen countries. You cannot work with a visit visa. Also, the duration is always too short.
AbdulAkpan:
Please, I need sincere answers?

What is Shengen VISA all about?

If I travel to Netherlands with the Visa, can I work with it?

If I cant work with it, what must I do to be able to continue my stay in Netherlands?

Thanks to everyone here. Asking this question out of curiosity. If I am to book my flight as a visitor to Canada, is it a must to book my return ticket too? Or simply tell the boarder officer you will be booking after the conference. Saying this to safe cost.

OyoTunjiUSA:


Hey 🤠

If you attend your visa interview with your present mindset your visa might be denied . You do not have to work in oil company or bank or MTN before you can secure a US visa. Even if you re a roadside Vulganizer your intention and genuineness of purpose as well as proof of financial ability to fund your trip is what the US embassy look out for.

1. In your DS 160 indicate that you are Self -employed /Business man or Importer & Exporter.

2. Your family back home as well as your house in Abuja and other businesses you do are enough home ties for you to return to , therefore you do not have any fear to fear on home ties .

3. Big questions you should prepare to answer are :

** Why are you going to the USA ?

** Will the wedding not take place if you did not attend ?

*** Who will fund your trip ?

*** Have you traveled out of Nigeria before ?


Best Wishes 🙏

Will she be applying alone this time? Has there been any significant change in her/their lives between the last application and now? Any travel history?
vinci500:
Hey guys I have two questions, any tips and advice will be greatly appreciated.

Question 1: I am attempting to apply for a visit visa for my sister and her family (husband and one daughter). She has been denied twice.

First time: She went with her daughter, they were both denied. (Invitation was for my graduation in 2019). Interview was at the consulate in Abuja

Second time: She went with her kid and husband, they were all denied. Interview was in Lagos. (2022)

I want her to apply again, as I think she was ill prepared both times based on my conversations with her after both interviews. I haven't seen them in about 6 years, and I'd love to have them visit for a few weeks as I recently just became a PR via Eb visa. What would you suggest we do differently this time? I want to be more involved and precise in the application process this time to avoid repeating the same mistake and will gladly welcome any advice or scrutiny you may have. I still believe it's possible for them to get a visit visa, so I don't want to lose hope.

Question 2: What are the current timelines for getting an interview date, and are there any legitimate ways to secure a date in 2024 without negatively impacting their immigration aspirations?


Thank you in advance for your contributions, grateful for a platform such as this.

No. I wasn’t asked to show any cash. It’s advisable to have money on your card/acc and to be able to show it if required. Also, it’s more of a cashless society.

Thanks for the insightful explanation. Were you asked to show them the cash you have at hand for PTA at the point of entry? Thanks so much
