Hello everyone. After TLs has sent email to collect documents, does anyone know how long they will hold the documents for before passing it to UK visas and immigration? Thanks

I don’t think you need a transit visa with a valid UK visa. You will not pass through immigration. I used KLM/Air France to UK in 2019.

Good morning NairaLanders.

Please I need assistance/guidance regarding booking a flight from Lagos to Bradford. I am going with my spouse and I have checked Skyscanner and wakanow for best routes that is affordable and will not require a transit visa.
Between KLM and Quatar airline which is better?
I noticed that the cheaper the flight, the longer the layover. Please I need your comments and suggestions. Thanks in anticipation.

My reservations was in Liverpool

toemie:


Oh wow. I leave the floor to other members of the group because honestly, you already did most of the things i wanted to advise. Some times these things happen. Some people even didn't provide as much documents as you did and got the visa while some who had 30 million etc in their account got refused. Just for next time when you re-apply, they would want you to address those concerns for the refusal.

From reading the first RED FLAG is Your account from SUN TRUST BANK

My dear don't lodge lump sum next time and use banks that don't raise Eye brows

Second was why LIVERPOOL?

maestro03:
funny enough i dont even think the large lodgement is the problem because he explained it. Its the lack of research that gave hin away. Liverpool hotel booking. Liverpool isnt a tourist location per se. In his itinerary he explained he's visiting London sites; liverpool is 2.5hrs away by train!


THE UK would use the flimsiest excuse to deny you once They spot red flags ... some times they don't even say it out loud ..

He had a good cover letter but he was still denied ....
