Hello gurus in the house, I tried booking appointment for TB test but the maximum number of family on the page is 4 but we are 5. How do I go about it?

mbanolady:
Good morning gurus in the house, please I need to know my chance of getting a 2years Visa. I run my personal business registered with CAC for close to 2 yrs now. Must I include a tax clearance receipt in my application? Also I was denied UK Student Visa in 2009 do I need to indicate that as it is over 10 year? Or better still can someone help with what and what I will be attaching to get a better chance.

Visa alert!

10 years visit visa granted to me, my kids and my cousin (she has been living with me for 9yrs)

Current visa is 2 years and will expire end of July 2023 but traveling for summer so had to apply early.

12th May : online application
15th May : Biometrics (paid for prime time and keep my passport option)
22nd May: call from UKVI to submit our passports at TLS. Submitted same day as my office is close and I’ve had the passports in my car since 15th.
23rd May: TLS email for passport collection. Quickly rushed there and picked them up.
10yrs visa granted for all of us.

I work for the government and salary is less than 150k after tax.
Submitted 6 months salary account statement with balance of less than 800k
Dollar account of about 6000usd but transaction of over 40k usd in 3 months.

That’s all for myself.

For my 3 kids
Birth certificates
Consent Letter from their father
2023/24 school fees receipt (I pay per annum not termly)

Previous history
I have had 5 UK visas including one student visa

Previous US visas and numerous trips in the last 5yrs
Unused Canada visa (aside my cousin)
I visit minimum of 2 countries yearly mostly for fun and I hardly go anywhere without my kids

PLEASE I need advice not insult. Thank you in ADVANCE. I've been in the UK with this care visa work for seven months without my sponsor agency giving me work. Now I've been able to get work at a very far place outside London which I go to by entering train 5am while returning by 9 to 10pm. I cannot relocate to the place because I'm currently been accommodated by someone. Going to work is almost costing an arm and leg as I've not been paid till month end. Someone told me to be buying under age ticket rather than normal one. My main question is not the fine as life is risk BUT if caught, CAN IT AFFECT ILR IN 5 YEARS TIME?

Blessedsteph:


Haha thanks. I don’t need their permanent residency o. Yes you can. I did and had no problems. I guess as long as your travel date falls outside the visa validity period. Mine expires July 27, travel date august 9th

If you applied for a 10yrs validity it will take like 3 months to be dispatched to you. But if it’s a 5 yrs validity passport, you supposed to get it within 2 to 3 weeks. I did mine last year and it’s 2 weeks I received it, 5yrs though

Blessedsteph:


My only advice is to please declare that you had been refused visa in the past, state why. They like honesty. If you leave out this information it may lead to them banning you for 10yrs.
Regarding your business account, please open a personal account then pay yourself a monthly salary from that account.

Hello everyone, pls I'm new here and I have a question about ECCTIS.
I'm about to request for Medium of Instruction letter from my University so I can submit to ECCTIS. Pls can the MOI letter be addressed to "To whom it may concern" (will it be acceptable by ECCTIS if not addressed to them directly?) so that I can probably use it again in the future if need be. I saw sample of the letter on ECCTIS website and it was To whom it may concern, but I noticed that was posted 7years ago. Pls has anyone done this before or recently?
