whaoo, maybe you were able to see second day for biometric because of the super pirority?

BrosMayowa:


Precisely. I didn’t set out to book spv. I booked it because I couldn’t get standard nor priority and I have to be in the Uk by first week of November. Plus, I already booked my flight before their fees become crazy

Aliyu40:
Exact thing happened to me. Click on my username and find my previous posts. My mums second application was successful.

I will thanks for your support

The Red Flags:

She is 55years old - meaning she is actively independent and you even proved this by saying she is a petty trader and you stated her annual income hence you should have included an evidence of this even if the amount she makes is small; it doesn't matter since you are sponsoring the trip. In my past application for my parents I stated that they are retired and do not earn income that they solely depends on their children still i included my dad's bank statement.

Lenght of trip - 3momths, moreover she is going with her grandchildren : this is too long for an initial application, you should have stated at most 1 month or better still 3weeks and once she gets her visa she can stay the 3 months provided she did'nt over stay her visit

You can reapply and address the issues raise. Include evidence of her business like trade certificate, Town council payment permits/receipt, Her bank statement and off course you need to explain any loop or contrary transactions on the account backed with evidence. For example during my parents application, my brother pay #400k into my dad's acct, he wrote a letter explaining the source of the funds and why he made such deposit (travel cash gift) and we backed it up with the payment receipt; it was a transfer so we went into the bank and asked for a receipt of that particular transfer and it was also stamped by the bank.

I hope this help?

Good evening everyone, I applied for uk transit visa and paid for priority, biometrics was on Friday and I got a refusal mail today. No major reason for the refusal[b][/b]. I'll be going to Grenada and just need to pass through uk. Applied for direct airside transit visa though I'm thinking probably I applied for the wrong visa or what does anyone think happened

hunee:
not your first time in the uk, i guess

ibagbea:

Nice,do you have an idea if they are still doing Walk in at ikeja?

BrosMayowa:


I’m not sure tbh

leef2022:


What was the minor reason for the refusal then?

Ashirioluwa:


Do you have Grenada visa on your passport?

Mackelson:


They must have given some reason(s). In my experience, they frown at DAT visa applications that involve an overnight stay. You can try applying for a Dutch Schengen Transit visa to come through Amsterdam and Barbados.

ibagbea:
bro, pleasehow much did you pay for the super pirority?

BrosMayowa:


935 Great British Pounds. E still dey give me PTSD.

ibagbea:
did you paid in pounds? Because what I have with me is dollars

Jobakemz:
Hi everyone,
Please I have an issue here. My dad's 6 months visa was just approved and collected yesterday after almost 3montgs of waiting.
However he received a refusal mail also yesterday.
The UK vignette is already on his passport and shows 25-09-2022 till a date in march.
The date on refusal letter shows 10-10-2022. Which probably means someone else checked the application. Errors were also noted on the refusal letter, such as account balances.
Please any ideas on way forward or do we just ignore.

BrosMayowa:
24 hour super priority is sweet o. Applied on Monday, biometrics Tuesday, visa collection today, Wednesday.

Ose333:

larrybam:

Look the embassies in Lagos and Abuja up, email them and they will reply. I'd rather not rely on what I heard. Let them officially tell u.
Please I heard they're not working presently, dont know how true it is. Do you have idea if they've resumed operations back

Ashirioluwa:


Sweet for those who have the resources. Average Nigerians can’t afford that.

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