Thanks so much for your help..I contacted him and he said the package doesn't come with an email..personally I don't know the agent,a cousin of mine who works at the airport contacted my big brother and told him there is a special package and I'm going to pay a million +..I gave 600,000 as an initial payment but when it didn't go through because of covid according to them I was refunded 500,000.

Now I want to apply for a new one..I have a limited company I registered since January 2018 which I want to build for six months and then apply November..I have never used that company for any transaction but but I have started fixing it..I want to ask my in-law in Germany to use my company to import the next container he will be bringing to Nigeria,I want him to use my name like three or four times and I also import goods from the UK but not as much as what my in-law brings...
I also want to ask my in-law to be sending all the money he sends my brother for his house project into my business account so I will be the one to pull it after four days then send to my brother..for my personal business I want to always put my own personal money in my business account then keeping sending 100,000 into my private account so once it's 6 months I will print my bank statement and also I will have like 4 million as my balance when I'm doing the printing.
Please is there any other document or information I will be needing for this business visa application?I will be applying like someone going on a business trip..maybe to go buy second hand shoes and clothes then come to Nigeria and sell?
I also would be submitting all the documents I used to purchase all the goods for that six months..please put me through on what I need for a business trip or if I'm on the right part.. God bless.

Please be mindful of what you're about to do. You need to understand what information the agent entered into your first application. Any major discrepancies in your initial vs your next application may not turn out well.

To begin with, did you attend the biometrics appointment? If you did not, it simply means you had no visa application put in, as that is a key factor for processing visa applications these days.
If you did, and you were handed no refusal letter, just try to find out what email your agent used for the application and the reference number provided after submission, all other information you already have, such as your last name, date of birth, so that you can make a request to UKVI to find out the information you need to address ahead of your next application.

Can u tell him to confirm very well if his company is this. He needs to ask them first. If the affirmative is the answer, then he shud write a cover note to address this and submit alongside other docs.
If he feels he wants a clean slate, then cancel the application, ask for a refund, and then fill another application. The refund will take almost 28 working days to get back.

Thank you Giselle237. He spoke with his sponsor yesterday and said they told him the NO he picked as answer was correct because his sponsor is a charity organisation . That is what they told him. Thanks.
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 4 by sandra50(f): 10:28am On May 22, 2021
Thanks for your response..before I was invited to Abuja these were the informations they asked me to provide..
Marital status........single
My parents names......I did
Parents date of birth.....I provided
My account number and name...I provided
Travel history....none
Any previous passport...yes
My name....I provided
My date of birth....I provided
My statement of account..I provided
They also made mention that I was going on a visit..
When I got to Abuja around 1 pm and proceeded to meet the agent to put me through..he told me the only questions I would be are are my date of birth and name..on getting there,I wrote my name at the reception and went up..I got there before my interview time..the secretary handed me a portfolio..in it were my international passport and maybe my statement of account with some documents the agent gave me..I didn't really have time to look at the documents because immediately I clocked in my name,a man was already calling me to come in..when I got to him,he took my international passport,I don't know if the photographers were inside then took some documents and sent me to another section..when I got to the next place I sat down and everyone there was looking at the TV screen waiting for them to call our numbers,so when they called my number I walked..when I got in she asked me to be looking directly at the camera and say my name and date of birth and after that she captured me and took my finger print then I left..

When I got back to base it took like 2 months to hear from them..I did my biometrics November ending and got response January..I forgot to mention that the agent asked me to tell them that I will be available to pick my international passport so there was no need to pay for it..when my cousin sent my passport,it was in a brown envelope made with nylon and paper and nothing was written on it..this must be so long but I needed to explain it well for you..thanks..
giselle237:


Well this packge and package left, right and centre.. if you have to do all these probably is not goin to help your case. Anyway did you go for biometrics? I am really worried that this agent claims that your last application is not email package.. pls what does he mean... since u were refused, a reason must have been stated.. and the only way this ppl translate this reason is via email or physical refusal letter.

I dnt think it is wise to apply for another visa if u dnt know what exactly went wrong in d last ‘package’... is it just a refusal or you were bannned bcus all this talk is not straight forward. I think u shud invest time in finding out also what was filled in ur last application and/or your visa letter as you can’t give conflicting .. information this time around too... we just need u to confirm that u went to a TLS centre to submit biometrics- fingerprint and digital photo yes or no??

Were u filled as married? What job did they put for you? What was ur income? Did they say u have kids? U need to know if truly u had a visa app and what information was filled there and why u were denied if so...
I just have to let you know tht you were scammed, I pray you have not also chopped 10 years ban in d process! 1 million naira uk visa package indeed!
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 4 by sandra50(f): 10:32am On May 22, 2021
Thanks for your response..yes I attended biometrics in November and received my passport January with no refusal letter..out of the 600,000 I gave him,he refunded me 500,000..now I'm trying to do it with my documents..

I really hope you haven't been banned . The agent is probably hiding that fact from you. He probably registered a different email so that only him can get any refusal mail from the embassy. Where is the printout from your application? You need to get to the root of this because even if you've not been banned before your new application may lead to a ban due to the inaccurate information you will provide.

These agents have a way of messing peoples lives up.

Good to hear that you actually attended the biometric appointment. The best time to have viewed the information submitted was at the biometrics centre where you waited before you had your biometrics captured. Well, that's gone now.

Here's my advice, be very patient about the next steps and don't rush into anything. Don't put in a new application that could possibly or not hinder future economic benefits to without understanding previous refusal reason.

Under the GDPR guidelines to which the UK follows strictly, you have a right to request the information the Home Office holds about you known as Subject Access Request.

Read this link slowly: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/requests-for-personal-data-uk-visas-and-immigration/request-personal-information-held-by-uk-visas-and-immigration

and follow the instructions set in the link. May take a while (avg. 30 - 40 days) to receive the documented information, after all you are not planning to put in a new application next month. "A particular decision letter" is the most important document you need.

Wish you the best.

Someone I know had similar experience. Send a paid email to UKVI or call them. Tell them you received your passport without any decision. You will have to quote your GWF reference number and some other basic information like date of birth, passport number, location of biometric centre etc and you will get the refusal letter within two working days. Create a new email and tell them you no longer have access to the email you used in your application, you can state the same email address used in your application if you have access to it. All the best.

You are awesome sis tutu more grace to your elbow. My oldest will clock 6 by December 31, my second child is 4 yrs old while my last born is just 2 yrs.

We just open our company account last month before we are using our personal account running the business.we don't mind any where

My question is that is it compulsory to included our company bank statement account? To avoiding any complication instead of that we should use only our personal income saving account to apply? Since our business money is for the business .

At the end of October my husband will be having 4.8m while I will be having 2.6m. My husband opening balance is (1.8m at April) while mine is 750k. We just want our personal account to be having only our incomes from this month May till October

Here are the documents we waned to present

*Marriage cert
*Kid birth cert
*Kids school fees receipt and result
*CAC cert
*Wedding pic and family pic and our business pix
*Personal bank account showing our income
*Cover letter to explain the reason we are going for holiday and our itinerary
*Land deed
*Cars documents
*Int passport

Is it necessary my husband issue a letter of introduction that explained leave approval and the lengths stay and my designation. If am traveling with my husband or traveling together as a family[/quote

Will you be using your personal account since your company account is about 1 month old
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 4 by Ijaay83: 6:13pm On May 22, 2021
Hello house,

Kindly assist me with my question. I run my personal business and I want to apply for UK tourist visa. My business is registered and I have business account. I do not use my business account instead I use my personal account. It was actually more convenient for me. As a result of my business my personal account is well funded with lots of transaction. Will applying with my personal account but including my CAC documents cause any damage? Kindly assist
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 4 by Dampops(m): 8:29pm On May 22, 2021

Thanks in advance

Perhaps you being too lenient what does let him see if he can find it mean?.Give him a polite ultimatum that he should give it to you else...
The uk has made mistakes in the past where they have refused visa and issued empty refusal reasons with just the sections but this was an administrative error but never in my 5yrs + working legal have i seen it just refused.
You get an email and/or a letter stating the reason your right to an administrative review or immigration decision appeal.
Perhaps make a freedom of information request quoting your name, passport number,date of application and reference number if you know it.
Also try this link below something may come of it.
https://ukvi.mysecurepay.co.uk/Home
the service is £2.74 so you would need a debit card.They reply within 2 working days.
(Can you tell us the name of the agency please and i can verify/report it).
Best of luck and be more careful in the future.
