Stop using agent, some often confuse applicant, I think I better start this agency business after helping two students get their student visa.

Unfanthomable:
Hello All

Please has anyone submitted their application in the last two weeks and have had to pay any premium fee?

I intend to submit but an agent is telling me there is now a new introduction even if you don't use self service.

Please help

One way ticket is usually too expensive, sometimes more costly than return, if you buy your ticket now you can get a return date of June 2020 and move it further to 2021 few weeks before the June date expires, but you will have to pay a rebooking fee

Hello @justwise and to other gurus in the house
Am new here and I need your advise, I picked up my passport yesterday and i was refused based on the deposit of money received in my account May 2019 which was about #300,000 when my monthly Salary was 80k. Apart from the 300, 000 (200k and 100k received that month) My dad sent me #380k for travelling allowance which we backed up with a letter and I guess the ECO was convinced.
So the issue was #300,000 from an unknown source.
Kindly advise how I should re-apply and the necsasary info I need to address the refusal
I am planning on re -applying God willing
Thanks.
Attached is the letter I received

Hello with your current salary of about £180 pound a month, it's not enough for you to be issued a visa, the reality is that the minimum wage per hour in the UK for example age 21 to 24 is £7.70 per hour for 37 hour week that is 7.70 x 37 = 273.8 more than what you will earn in a month, so the thinking of the visa officer is there is no way you can sustain yourself or you must have an agenda to not leave when you come in, which is the case for many Nigerians living illegally in the UK. My advice for anyone who wants to visit the UK is to do your research very well and ensure you earned enough money in salary or business. or do what I did when I left Nigeria years ago, get a job abroad. I left on a green card for an IT expert to work in Germany. The UK want visitors because they gain from the income tourist bring every year. One last advice Nigerian keep on making mistakes by listening to people with no immigration experience and lying about what they earn or who they are. The internet has loads of helpful information check it yourself. When I left Nigeria in 2000 the Internet was still at its infancy in Nigeria yet I got my job via it.

Be prepared to answer questions about the gap between your BSc and waiting until you 40 to go for your MSc. Please, there is no age discrimination in the UK so don't panic just prepare.

Qlip:
Good day everyone, please i need clarity on the following:

1. As a 40 year old, can one's parent stiil be ones sponsor ? Although the required funds have been moved into the beneficiary's account, the intention is to start the 28 days count from 2nd day after the money was lodged so it doesnt reflect , just to avoid any issues about huge sums lodged into the account.

2. Would getting a letter from an organization one volunteered for 2 years add credibilty to ones claim of having worked in that organization?

3. Having been refused an Irish visa in the past about 5years back due to some negligence- the reasons for refusal were numerous at the time- reasons like gaps in education or employment not accounted for. would it be advisable to go for a priority visa given the time frame available from the period of application for visa and resumption is barely 2 weeks? I read here that it is better one goes for the standard type if there has been a case of refusal in the past. NB: the refusal was not due to any forged documents as there was an appeal that was eventually lost.

Inputs are appreciated , thank you all.
