Was this a renewal?

Visit visas are not necessarily renewed, but to answer your question, yes, I got a new visit visa, and I applied for it while the previous one was still valid. It was less than a month to expiring when I applied.

Congratulations. .. is this a renewal or first timer visit

"Renewal". Not my first time.

I think i need to send a paid mail o. Biometric since July 6th.

Make i no go dey dull myself waiting for 8weeks before sending a mail.

Cos i don tire.

Maybe you should. Someone I know did a paid call day before yesterday and his visa came out yesterday. Though it was not visit visa he applied for.

Good morning great minds. I am new on this platform.
I had my biometrics for spouse visa and dependant visa with my two sons on 26th July and I got a mail from TLS two days ago that my travel document and that of my eldest son is ready for collection buy I am yet to receive mail for the collection of my youngest son's travel document.

1. Does this mail mean we have been granted settlement visa?
2. Can I go to TLS office to claim the documents that are available for collection while waiting for the last one? Even though it was stated in the generic mail sent that if you apply as a family, you wait for all the documents to be ready for collection before coming.
3. What do I do about the travel document of my youngest son that is not ready for collection yet? Though I sent a paid mail to the ukvi last night...

Good morning house

Is it normal to not be asked for your checklist during biometrics?

And not have to submit it

Good day everyone.
Please I need your advice. I am applying for a UK standard visitor’s visa to attend an alumni convention and my alma mater where I’m also currently a staff has agreed to sponsor me.
My questions are; Will the Support letter from the University be sufficient for my ‘proof of sponsorship’?
Also, is there any chance I’ll get a faster decision on my application if I pay for the priority visa application?
I’m afraid I may not have enough time following the current delays reported here.

Wtf.... Sorry for the refusal... After waiting patiently for 9weeks you were later refused Chai... Can you state reason for refusal so elders can advice you...

Good afternoon guys, I’m planning on booking a return ticket to the Uk and return back to Nigeria 2nd September, however my visit visa expires 3rd September; would I encounter any issues at the airport here in Nigeria or at the border control in Uk?

It’s a 6 month visa, I traveled with it earlier this year and I want to travel again with it before it expires.

Please do I have to carry along my previous denied visa letter during biometrics while applying for a UK visa?

It is more difficult to get UK visa as a self employed person than someone employed. The truth is that there is nothing to challenge here. You made your case worse by reapplying and increasing that figure.

Before you will be given UK visa, you will have to spend nothing less than 4,000,000 based on the profile you have created for yourself.

This what you must do if you still want the visa.

An auditor will audit your business account for 3 years and deduct expenses until the amount u stated as yearly income is arrived at as profit. Assuming 50 million came into your account in 1 year, 41,000,000 will be expenses and 9,000,000 your profit for the year. you will pay tax of about 800,000 on that 9,000,000 x 3 years =2,400,000.

Then you are given tax clearance.

Note you will have to provide your bank statements for those years to the auditor, depending on how long your business have been.

You will submit the audit report for 3 years, and tax clearance showing you paid tax on the said amount for 3 years.

Thats the only grounds your visa will be given.

You can try to apply with only the audit report without tax. Then if they refuse and request for tax, Then you go and pay that tax and apply again.

As a self employed person, you have to provide more evidence and documentation than any other applicant.

ensure that you do not provide any fake audit report as this should appear in your bank statement. Anything fake will result in automatic ban.

For self employed people, be careful of how much u claim you earn, as you might have to back it up with tax and audit report.

FINALLY, DONT QUOTE ME, AS THE SYSTEM WILL BAN YOU.

The thing is did you get the money back after payment? If yes, make the payment again.

You're welcome

Hello house, please i am applying for a standard visitors visa for my mum. She'll be staying with my dad's cousin. However in the section that asks if she has family in the Uk i don't know what option to select as the dropdown options doesn't have anything like husband's cousin. Should i select brother in law instead. I am confused. Please help.

Good day everyone, I am currently doing my masters degree in the UK. I have been worked as care worker for 3 months, I have worked more than 20 hours in a week more than 4 weeks and I am planning to apply postgraduate visa but I am wondering if the visa will be granted.

Please my question is has anybody worked in the care home for more than 20 hours and was given a postgraduate visa?

Thank you.

Good afternoon gentlemen and ladies.

This is really appalling, I thought I was the only one left on the waiting list. Yours is even most surprising but I can also tell you it's not the worst.

I have been reading #UKVISADELAY on Twitter and you'll be surprised about several visa woes.

We shall soon be out of this mess, I strongly believed.

You made matters more difficult by asserting in January 2022 that you earned 9 Million naira. A few months later, you stated that you made 19 Million per year. This revenue change is significant. I believe you ought to have stayed with the 9 million.

What you earn over the course of a year is your annual income (from January to December of the previous year). You earned 9 million between January and December of 2021. You'll be using that 9 million as your yearly income in 2022.

The new income is not usable this year, but next year.

you did no bad by reapplying with new evidence because that's just what's expected, you could have provided enough document in support and explanation. It's as if your previous refusal should take a while before your circumstances could change enough to convince. I hope the complaint work in your favour. If it doesn't, try to prove your Source of Incomes are active and trading. And work on the Tax as advised.
