Hello house, Good evening.
My company in the UK is sponsoring my visit to the UK for business, although I have some relatives and friends in the UK. I was advised on this forum not to mention that I have family in the UK and to keep the application strictly for business. My question now is when I get to the UK, I most likely won't be staying in a hotel but at my relatives' houses. With this info, how do I approach the 'Where do you plan on staying in the UK' question? Can I just state I will be staying in a hotel or private housing without no evidence of booking?

If your company is sponsoring you for a business trip, aren’t they supposed to provide accommodation by default or guarantee payment for it?
Anyway, no you can’t claim you’d be staying in a hotel and not show evidence. Especially for a business trip.

Gm, please if I may ask, which site did you book the hotel and do you input your dollar card when asked to complete the reservation

I used ‘Hotels’ app… and I used my pound debit card.

3. I believe it shouldn't be an issue based on my own experience. My mother inlaw came, some plans changed, and we needed to extend her stay. This didn't affect future application.

4. Write a letter of invitation to say your parents will be staying in hotel but your younger sis will stay with you. Include it in your younger sis application as well. Make sure you attach your prove of accommodation too. When I was living in a studio flat, I did this with my mother in law's application and she was granted. I submitted the tenancy agreement.

Please note these are my own personal experiences..thanks

Noted… Thank you very much

Hello house please my parents and little sister (14 years) will be coming for my graduation in July. We are hoping to apply this week but I have a few questions.

1) if they are saying they will be paying for all their expenses from their account would I still need to show my own statement of account?
2) my elder sis and I want to make a transfer of 1.5m to my dads account this week to assist with the travelling expenses. Would this be a red flag cause of the lump sum?
3) they want to apply stating that they will be staying for 1 week (to reduce the amount of POF needed) but after getting the visa can they extend their stay to two weeks?
4) my mum and my dad plan to stay in an hotel because my apartment is a one bed and I’m married. so my little sis can’t stay in the same hotel room with them. Can I say she would be staying with me in my apartment?
5) lastly I booked their hotel as “book now pay on arrival” and this shows on the booking confirmation. Hope it won’t be a red flag too?


I know it’s a lot of questions but I’ll appreciate any advice I can get please

Please I’m looking out for any advice on this

Good evening Please I did my biometrics for a skilled working visa on 31st of March and am yet to get a mail from the Uk embassy it’s 17 working days now hope there is no problem on my application

Glory be to God 2 yrs uk visa approved thanks house

No 1. And No 2. contradict each other if you say you they are fully funding then want to transfer 1.5m to them to assist.Pick a struggle.

No 3.Your first visa is valid for 6months so if you intend to stay for a week then decide to stay more you are still within the conditions as your visa is still valid.

No 4.Is a personal decision.

No 5.It would not be a red flag to use book on arrival but your bank statement has to show you can afford the amount.

Hope this helps.

ahahaha please be serious jor.
Kindly give me list of UK organizations sponsoring overseas health workers na

Why don't you go to Indeed, LinkedIn for this.
Now search for Health Care Recruitment Specialist.

Visit companyjobs. co. UK
uktiersponsors. co. uk

For those of use working in Organization where their CAC is inactive nko? I have search some of these big conglomerate company like Leventis where I worked before all their sisters company are all inactive will ECO use that to make decision when the company in actual sense exist and doing well in Nigeria market.

I always try to be modest with my feedbacks but i do not think you did well by holding to the information your dad gave you.

You could have just confirmed here https://search.cac.gov.ng/home

That been said, the issue with large deposits is unexplainable because this is the area ecos hammer applicants mostly.

Subsequently, operate a very simple account with lesser transactions.

My honest input.[/quote]

Someone will do biometrics on the 15th of March and apply for standard o. by 19th , they are already bombarding us here with messages about their applications.

Just look for how to pay for it and get your thing. I am aware of some recruitment agencies that charge even tho I can not recommend any.
Just get your thing done and make una no dey ask us questions like what is delaying the application? nobody dey work for UKVI here.

Ema ni suru.

Thanks for the response

1&2) we are not saying that they are fully funding the trip we are saying that the money for all expenses is in my dads account including the one we’ve sent to assist. So do I still need to send my own bank statement in that case?

Many thanks! I received a collection email for I and my daughter yesterday but no refusal email or attachment received so far. Fingers crossed 🤞
