Hello, I did my biometrics since the 23 of August, and yet to get a response. Standard. My agent says it is a general issue. It is even past my planned travel date. Any cause to worry?

The processing delay is a general issue.

Hello house,

Pls I'm filling a visit visa application for my parents and would like to confirm if 2 separate applications are required or it'll be one application like Canada Visit Visa. Started with my mum's details and now at the end, but no info requested for my Dad's. Would appreciate any response before I submit. Thanks.

I know of 9 weeks + business days. Expect around 9 weeks but you could be lucky.

Either way is fine but it must be legible if handwritten.

Some lucky applicants get pickup notice within 60 days after biometrics.

According to rumors here in Nairaland, the typical wait time is three months (90 days). Some candidates had to wait over 90 days.

I don’t think you can, but try it and let us know if it works. There's nothing wrong with trying.

Hello house,

Please I will need ur advise on this, my parents are planning to visit my brother in the UK and my dad will be sponsoring the trip. He is self-employed and owns a company.

My question is
1. Do my mum have to upload her personal statement
2. Is it a must that company name be active on CAC portal. Bearing in mind they age (63 & 60) and have properties and investment to prove they are going to return back to nigeria.

Thanks.

Please can some1 help with my questions

1. Yes, you mom needs to upload her statement as well. If she's retired, the level of activity on the account will show such. If she gets allowances from your dad, you and your siblings it will show. Just explain her situation on the application.
2. The company name has to be active on CAC. If not, it is a risk factor. If self employed, he may have to pay himself salary for a period of time prior to applying. Strong tie to Nigeria will help this application. A thriving self employed business, landed properties, children and grand children to look after are strong ties.

Piggyvest operates as a MFB in Nigeria. The statement should be acceptable to UKVI. Just be sure that Piggyvest will confirm your statement when requested by UKVI.

Good evening, I have a 6 month Uk visa which will expire this month and I intend to apply for a new one, I am unemployed but my husband cater for my feeding and also he always sends large amount of money into my account through a third party when he helps them to change dollar to naira so they send it to my account, do I have to explain the reason for the large sum in my account.
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 5 by Tawak: 7:08pm On Oct 12, 2022
A parent applied for another country's visa with a minor, the parent was refused therefore the minor was automatically refused. When completing UK visa form, should the minor's refusal be stated on previous refusals in the minor's application or only the parents' since the minor did not apply independently. I was informed that visa refusal of a minor is usually not considered because they are underage.

Good day gurus!!! Please I need HELP/ADVICE
I intend visiting the uk for a few days maybe next year or so but I want to be prepared. I recently registered my business with CAC and opened a business bank account to document everything.

-I want to pay myself as an employee. If an income of about N1.2m is coming in and out every month, how much could I pay myself, please (I have two teenage kids, 1 is working too)?
-When I apply for the visa, should I apply as an employee of the (my) business or as the owner of the business or both? And do I submit business and/or personal bank statement?
-Please how do I go about tax and especially payslip for employee/business?
-Should I apply for the visa as a family with my kids (my husband staying back) or may be take one of my kids and leave one w my husband? (No travel history)
-Can I submit my rent agreement or do I have to have a landed property? Or what can use as strong ties to my home country?
-Is a 10days holiday too much/little?

Thank you

Please help!!!

If your dad is sponsoring the trip, then they can both (dad and mom) use your same bank statement.

Upload the same bank statement your dad will use into your mom’s application portal.

Mention in the cover letter that your father is funding the trip and that the couple is traveling together.

It will be better if your dad’s business is active on CAC portal. This doesn’t take time.
