Thank you all for your opinion, like i stated before every thing was explained. I spend like mad on my salary. I even gave my last job offerof employment and my previous and explain evrything that it is my accumulated savings , i also expalined i use the same account as expenses and my salary every amount including my salary was explained in details. This is my 5th renewal, i have n3ver had a refusal before. I am very sure it was a rushed work and documents were not looked into.

Sorry about the current situation.
But given the great disparity between your previous circumstances and now, I did think you wouldn’t be lucky this time. your current circumstances + your financial statement been with several deposits and withdrawals also a set up for refusal. This was haphazardly done and made it look japa-filled.
I think you need to arrange your finances, if you could get a better paying job it’ll also help.. 200k a month is not a good financial tie.. you can as well get over to UK and easily leave this job as its pay is average.
It’ll be easy for you to do as you have been to this place several times.
They also mention that you have provided NO PROOF of the origin of the several deposits in your account.
It is not enough to write a cover letter as anyone can make any statement, if you have no documentary evidence to back up your writings .. forget it

Also the way we present our evidence matters especially bank statement.. if it’l be confusing with so many credits, withdrawals, deposits and you know your profile may not be too strong… it’s better to wait some months and dedicate a specific account to run as neatly as possible. Confusing statements invite refusals very quickly

also your sisters would make it easier for you to settle… there will be no reason why you will want to return as they tie you more to the UK than Nigeria..
They are working on a balance of probabilities here.. what would bring you back?

So sorry about the refusal Mr. Money. I think UKVI is quite confused this days.. They feel every visitor wants to JAPA with the visit. In my own case I was invited to present my paper by globally known organisation that is even connected to the royal family oo (He/she must. be jealous true true)
I was still refused on claiming sponsor's telephone number wasn't reachable.

I got a refusal email since 3 weeks now. They refused my application yet, depriving me of making use of my passport for an urgent need. I feel depressed everyday about this. This is the 11th week since biometrics.

Have you received email for passport collection?

Don’t mind them. DHL has returned my passport since. As I received refusal mail, I didn’t bother contacting them about my passport, Even when TLS sent me 3 emails.

I agree on this clean account thing. It now makes me understand that everything has to be properly and well planned. Once the Nigerian account is straightforward and corresponding with what information supplied, everything goes easy. But the problem will emanate once there is just a slight inconsistency no matter how you explain in a cover letter.

In my next application, I will set up a totally different bank account because I no get strength to explain any nonsense again with cover. My next cover letter will just be one page, because I’m not going to beg for visa. It’s my right to get the visa provided my documents are ok. After all Na me Dey go spend money.

I will just tell them to make a decision based on what is provided and I will not supply any additional information/documents. Let them do their wish.

DO NOT SEND PAID CALLS OR MAILS UNTIL YOUR APPLICATION REACHES 7 WEEKS (STANDARD )

DO NOT BOOK A FLIGHT AND PAY UNTIL YOU RECEIVE YOUR APPROVAL.

FOLLOW UKVI INSTRUCTIONS.

Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 5 by MamaGiovanni: 10:29pm On Nov 11, 2022
Hello everyone,

I live in the UK and am trying to apply for my parents to come and visit for 2 weeks early next year.

Ages 62yrs/72yrs, both are self employed and own businesses in Nigeria.

I will be fully sponsoring both of them but was told I would need to include their own account statement also.

Problem Is both use their business accounts for transactions, they don't pay salary into their personal accounts, they withdraw from the business accounts instead for their personal use.

Both business accounts are fully registered with CAC and have tax returns.

My question is can I submit the business accounts on their behalf?

My own account statement will be used as proof of funds.

IELTS for UKVI should be around 90 something thousand, and TOEFL should be around 75k. I might be wrong though, but don’t expect anything below that range
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 5 by Eddy4400: 11:18pm On Nov 11, 2022
To encourage those worried about the wait times (like I was, travel date planned for Dec 3rd), just apply. Regular standard visit visa by the way (2years) for my parents, both retired. Not their 1st time applying

Dears hello,

Please I need a clarity on this,

Applied 4 a 5year UK Visit visa and already did biometrics and app received but discovered the flight itenary included was the one for previous expired 2 year visa, in fact just the last 3 of 5 pages are there which shows no year in the dates (dep and arrival), just day and month in those pages. Understand flight itenary not required 4 UK Visit visa. Does anyone know if this can be correctedI or doesn't matter on the decision? All other docs intact . Thanks

I thought i posted it, please i am more considered a out the questions earlier if i should reapply immediately, will i be submitting previous bank statement and other receipts. Please regarding the refusal every documents and every single amount was explained in my bank explanation leter, i mean every single dime. And my zenith bank is my saving account, expenditure account and salary account. Everything was explained.
Hi. If your yearly income is 2.4m, then you are receiving other income you haven't declared. Within 6months, it should be 1.2m following your fixed salary income. You definitely receiving steady numerous incomes asides salary. The 150k was just one out of it. It's either you have other business or you are receiving income from Family.

probably your explanation was overlooked because the so called errands was the reason for the refusal. If you are still receiving such income into the account you are submitting, hopefully the next ECO acknowledge your explanation, else it's still thesame doubt and refusal reasons.

To help some future applicants.

You should have a minimum of two accounts.
1) Salary or Business Account
2) Savings account (solely for travel purposes)

This will help your application to be straightforward and prevent the clearance officer from misquoting your claims.

You have to give more information about yourself and why you are sponsoring their trip for others to help you with your application.

You can get helpful information on the documents you need to submit to aid your application if you peruse through 5-15 pages backward.

Hello great ones

Please can anything positive come out from approaching BDHC regarding my passport collection. Any experience please. UKVI has escalated twice to them. TLS claimed my passport is with BDHC and I wasnt even allowed to enter when I traveled down last week.. The person I met at the gate told me to write a letter that he will help me submit to the relevant dept. (not for free oo). He gave me assurance and he even said "no be today na" but till today nothing!
This is the 11th week émámá gbámì. I have gotten a refusal since over 3weeks ago kwa..
I wouldn't even be this bothered if I didn't need my passort urgently for an emergency.

Biko save a soul.

You'd get an email if it is approved or if you need to upload additional document e.g Authority of debit
It would be approved by the local bank

the Assist is at the local level, when you talk to someone in CBN they in turn turn to someone at the local bank level

So this is my status, is this how it shud be?.
What would it be if the pta is ready?

Hello,
I did while I was in France as a student. But I already had two UK Visas before then.
I suggest you go to another country in Europe first...France, Germany,etc...to build some travel history.
Then You can apply for the US visa after.
And of course, you should have some source of regular income.
And get your school/Supervisor to write a letter for you.
But then, do what you feel is best for you.
