Good morning people, please I need your advice on this.

My brother wants to apply for UK visa renewal. Has been issued visa thrice before and the last one was 2 year visa. He eqrms about 800k monthly from a good organisation. The challenge is that he hardly deducts from his monthly salary leaving his balance at about N5m with a debit of less than 300k.in six months.

His expenses of about 200k monthly are from his savings account with bank A which he doesn't want to add because there was a POF payment that passed through it during the period. He has another account with bank B that has some inflow and outlflows too but not that much as his other savings account in Bank A.

He wants to reapply for 2 years....but worried that ECO would wonder why no debits on the salary account.

What do you advise?

Thanks

He should start using his salary account for expenditure spendings for the next six months. Otherwise, he should be ready to provide the account that has the proof of his monthly expenditure.

Hello all,

I am trying to self upload for my mum’s application. what section should her cover letter be?

Also, she is sponsoring herself, but staying at my brother’s home, should she upload his lease agreement to the sponsor section?

Section for letter: other

She won’t be staying with her son, so that isn’t necessary. Proof of hotel reservation should do.

Can someone explain this statement to me from the ukvi website?


You must have this money for at least 28 consecutive days. The end date of the 28-day period must be within 31 days of the date you apply for your visa.

In simple English, you need to make your application within one month, which is 31 days. And out of that 31 days, the money supposed Dey for your account for 28 days straight, after which you go send your visa application.

Good evening everyone
Please what’s the standard processing time for Uk 2yrs renewal ? My bio was February 8th

Hi everyone, I am hoping that I can get some assistance with my query.

I have 4 names on my passport. My first name, 2 middle names and my surname. I was recently granted a 2 year UK Visitor visa.

The ‘name’ bit on the vignette captures all 4 of my names and matches those on my passport. For purposes of illustration I shall use Johnson Doe Allison Marianne.

However, at the bottom on the Machine Readable Area, only <<Johnson<<Doe <<Allison<< appear.

In my 2 previous visas, the machine readable area had all 4 of my names but one of my middle names was incomplete. It appeared as <<Johnson<<Doe <<Allison <<Mari<<

On my Tier 4 visa BRP, the back read as <<Johnson<<Doe <<A <<M<<

I never had an issue when entering the UK.

Do you think I would have a hard time with immigration? And if so, how do I go about having the second middle name included?

Thank you

Good morning house,
I decided to drop this here to encourage also to share my experience, I got my first 6 months visa in June 2022 and it expired Dec 30th, 2022, I had travel experience to Zanzibar and Dubai, a month before I applied for the 6 months visa, I traveled to the UK in September and stayed 2 weeks, I traveled again to Kilimanjaro Dec 27th via Rwandair, there was a delay at the airport so they gave me a transit visa to and fro, I got back to Lagos 12th January 2023, meanwhile before I traveled on December, 2 of my cousins submitted their application and I helped them cos they believed I was in the right place to do cos I have done one for myself before successfully, I felt so much they were going to get the visa but it didn't happen like that, one got his as a student going for a post-graduate program but the other with visitors visa, wife and daughter didn't get theirs, I dropped their refusal notice then.

This situation got me so scared coupled with other people's refusal testimonies here between December and the first 2 weeks in January 2023, I intended to apply immediately after I got back to Nigeria, and I canceled my application even now I have not gotten my refund for Priority visa service. so I decided to give it a try again when I noticed some people are giving some positive news also I think the refusal rate was high then cos the quota of visas to be issued was over the amount given to the students and they needed to balance it up somewhere. MY VIEW,

I did my biometric on January 31st, 2023, I got a collection mail on the 17th of Feb, DHL delivered my passport the next day.
I printed and submitted used/unused and expired visas cos I have a new passport
I submitted my financial and employment evidence
I submitted a flight reservation
My house tenancy agreement
I submitted a hotel reservation for the duration of my stay but at the time of uploading a few days to the biometric HOTEL RESERVATION got canceled by booking.com, this gave me serious pressure and doubt, and I wanted to cancel the application again but I came here and sought opinion, someone said I should book another and write reasons why I have 2 hotel meanwhile I filled just one in my form so I did so.

I also submitted three-month payslips just to prove my opening balance, cos I had like 3.2M and a closing of 5.4M, I claimed I have monthly expenses of 100K. There was no time in both applications that I sent to what I claimed.

When I had the first 6 months, I have an opening balance of 300k, and a closing balance of 2.850M whereas I claim to spend 100k monthly, my total debit transaction then was just 160+K for 6 months, I think I was just lucky then or the person that treated my application was cool-headed.

I have a total debit transaction of like 400K plus on my last application, I withdrew close to 200k in January just to reach that amount cos I was scared the ECO will start calculating all my expenses, but it didn't go like that. I think cos I have travel experiences helped me or I was just lucky or maybe I believed that there is less pressure this period with no student application yet.

I appreciate everyone who is here to quickly drop some info to guide and encourage, God bless you all, Thanks Ololade Mr. Money, and other OGs you're doing well, you have pushed me to leave that I will not get scared again

I advise anyone that will like to apply for a visitor visa to do so between periods they don't have students' application cos there is less pressure on them, in my view. Also, we reapplied one of the refusals I posted last month and left the other cos I don think it stands a chance yet as soon as there is a result I will share it again.

I got my first 6 months visa in june 2022 like same days, 6 workings days and my brother got his 2 years renewal in 13 days, I used an invite he used hotel i dont know why my came faster, but we applied in like a week in June same day, i guess the sytem wasnt rugged like this then also maybe there wasnt plenty student application too.

The old MMIA

I believe you will get a mail soon, it is not up to 2 wks yet, you might even get mail you got before again but don’t be worried, there is no exact time, but it shouldn’t exceed 18days from all the testimonies here, I believe yours will not exceed 24th or 27th. by God grace you will get a good news.

As at Jan, it was the new terminal.

Hello guys,

Please can i reapply for a tourist visa with 5 months validity remaining on my passport?

Thank you very much

Hi guys,i did uk eu settlement visa,so i saw uk mail yesterday that I’ve gotten 2 weeks to go and collect my passport that it has been in TLS since,so I went to tls to collect my passport TLS told me that my passport is over 90 days and it has been returned back to UKVI. So the mail which UKVI sent was that I should reply the mail with passport number and gwf number that they will send my passport back to TLS to collect it within the 2 weeks they gave me, my question is do eu settlement visa expire?

Good day my people. I don’t know if anyone has an ideas if it’s possible for one to change from UK visitor visa to any other visa class (work etc) within the UK that will keep one status legal beyond 6 months. Kindly share any information via email please.

NONE to the bolded.....Return home, if before the elections, you will be able to vote in the coming elections, and then apply for the right category of visa and return to the UK afterwards at some point.....

Don't overstay and make future UK visitor applications difficult for Nigerians.

You are highly welcome

Hello House,
For those who have gone to UK visa Qatar Airways and transit visa Doha, did the airline transfer your luggage themselves or you have to retrieve upon arrival and check in yourself on London flight from Doha?

Good evening gurus in the house pls where can do TB test to make it faster pls who get link should connect me , I also need Where to do my PCC faster Police Character Certificate

The old MMIA

Thank you.
I will drive by a week before my flight to confirm.

Check-in now happens at the new terminal (luggage drop-off, collection of boarding pass and NIS stamps).

Source: Flown Qatar twice in last 6 weeks.

Once completed, you will move to the old terminal (both terminals are connected) where you board the plane & where it actually departs from.

Qatar doesn't fly from the new terminal.

Once you book a flight from Lagos to London via Qatar your luggage is checked in through to the final destination i.e. you will only pick up checked bags after going through immigration in London.

Hello.
Good evening
So I have some questions.
Currently a student, finishing in May and would be having my grad ceremony in July and I want to invite my mum over to attend.
My mum isn’t working , though she has the money to sponsor herself, but don’t want the whole “where is the money coming from” complicate matters.
And being in a student visa currently may affect the decision because they might wonder where I got the money from to sponsor her.
I also have a sister here who’s working already and I want to know if my sister can act as the sponsor for my mum coming over for my graduation.
Thank you
