Keep moving forward if you want to see free appointment for self service.



However, You can opt to do self service and still get primetime Biometrics subscription.
They will put you in a small room with a/c and give you tea and a DStv remote you can change channels with. For almost 67 k the visa officer will come to you and be begging you for your thumbprint.
It's worth it in my opinion? grin They will also address you as your royal majesty.

For premium, they will come to your house and do the biometrics grin

Whilst the rest of us are queuing like lesser mortals.



If nah self service stingy subscription you need?
What you are looking for is a box that is not colourful.

You might need to go as far as 2weeks before you see the appropriate free slot grin grin

Anything besides that and you will pay through your teeth.

UK Immigration do not recognize “Micro Finance” bank statements, it will be considered as not added, it's not a local bank, your sister sponsoring you only carries water when you are a minor, if you are an adult then you have to show to them that you have the resources to and come back without the aid of your sister. Staying in UK for 21 days is quite expensive too.
If you are applying for a UK visit visa just have it in mind as the ECO is going through your documents, the things in his or her mind is
1. Will this applicant current condition warrant him to work in the UK?
2. With this applicant condition, will they return back to Nigeria?
3. What will bring this person back to Nigeria?

So if you use this questions to touch light your information then you would know your answers.

If you like have 100M in your Opay or Kuda, they won’t look at it twice. It’s in their laws to reject such.

Most jobs that you can do virtually is also a big No for them sometimes, like the Tech thing.
Cuz you can overstay your Visa and still be working Online. Most people that travel the world work online because you can’t have a call in job and be in London..

Maybe you can re paint that part. All the Best.

After submitting documents on tls website, do you get an email from tls, because i clicked on submit documents and i did not get any mail that i have uploaded my documents.

Also after submitting, tls is saying i should proceed with application, when i click on proceed with application, it takes me to another page with just random information on gov.uk website.

Yes they can check. If they ask you at the airport pls say exactly what’s on your ticket as plans can change and you should not be caught telling lies at the border as they have the sole responsibility of accepting or declining entry. They understand this. Also make sure you have CONFIRMATION of your accommodation. 1 month is fine.
You must also have enough funds to show in cash and credit or debit card. Also carry an uptodate bank statement printed just before you travel incase you can not open your mobile app to confirm the available money you have.

I don't know much about the university again because my daughter graduated this year.

But she told me that payment options are better now because the Union leader fought for students. You can still search from the university's website

Please if someone is living in a shared accommodation with other tenants and is inviting his or her mom over to the UK for holidays, can they book hotel for her to support the visa application?
Also the mom being a pensioner, can she indicate she would pay for flight while the daughter or son inviting her over caters for the hotel and feeding?
yes to all but her circumstances is what would be considered top most

Good evening house,
Please I was granted a visitor's visa for 6 months. During my application I wrote that I was going to stay for 10 days. Is it possible to stay for 3 weeks instead?
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 5 by dejii01(m): 11:22pm On Nov 16, 2023
Good evening house,

I am applying for a UK visit visa (6 months) and I plan to sponsor my partner. We are not married yet so I specified an unmarried partner as relationship status. In the section where asked "Will you be travelling to the UK with someone who is not your partner, spouse, or dependant?", I'm not so sure what to do. The right answer is No but I'm wondering how to link my application to that of my partner. Do I just explain it in the additional section?

Please advice. Thanks.

Only when it’s beneficial to you people then you’ll stay to comment and ask questions. Once you get what you want, it’s to hell with the thread. Deleting of posts, playing unavailable etc
Good luck sha. Make me too take my bow. It’s been a lovely time on here. Stay safe everyone.

Please don't get discouraged. You are really doing a great job, and if were using a known identity, you'll have quite a handful of fans, who'll regard you as a superstar.

We challenged the ECO decision last month for reconsideration, like I said previously it is not all the ECO that knows what he or she is doing, some roasted me for that statement, I have seen so many refusals that made absolute no sense, they are humans, they have hormones too we have the bad eggs among them who just refuse you based on flimsy excuse(s).
I didn’t take the second refusal likely, as there was no difference between the previous refusal which was last year, and the this recent one and it is based on financial grounds( enough sufficient funds with proof). (Looked more like a copy and paste to me ) Pre action protocol (PAP) was sent to the home office giving them 14days to reconsider before taking it further to court for JR.
They responded on the 14th day and yes a senior caseworker in his/ her right senses looked at the evidence submitted and he/she did agreed it was sufficient enough to grant the entry clearance visiting visa in the first place.
If we had accepted fate and re - apply the third time it MAY be refused again and that is too much dent, although they claim every new application(s) is decided based on its merit but I do not want to believe they do not look at your past history with them in concluding.
So fingers crossed on when my aunt and her children will be asked to bring their passports, it shouldn’t take up to 3months sha.
Sometimes you just have to push some buttons.
Don’t let the refusal bring you down, but first, do the right thing.
And good luck to everyone.

Nice!

I have said it here in the past that they do a lot of copy and paste. Once they check previous refusal reason, they will just pick most especially the financials and once its not straightforward and simple as abc, they will not take proper time, but will just paste what they copied from their template as reason for the denial. And move on, using that quick one to meet work targets.

But wait, I thought they usually say visit visas are not elligible for administrative review/appeal. Or was it a dependent/family visa?

My mom’s visa is out - Standard Application
Biometrics- 2nd of August 2023
Collection mail - 10th August 2023
TLS VI - visa collected today. We said date of travel for end of month but the Vo decided to put 15th as start date🤦‍♀️

What I submitted:

So, I was initially updating the document one by one, but I felt it was going to confuse the VO and decided to merge them based on the check list that was provided after visa application.
I created a Table of Contents in the first page for each checklist and listed the document and the page number.
I used I love PDF to merge all the docs with the table of content, it was work but I think it made the application very straightforward. In all I submitted 7 Pdf files


1. Evidence of Ties to Home Country – proof of ties to home country
— Letter of Visa Application by my mom where she declared what she does and what she is coming to do in the UK as well as declaration to abide by the laws of the land in terms of no recourse to public funds. In the Letter, she stated relationship between herself and the sponsor.
— Attestation Letter from her Parish Vicar
— Attestation Letter from where she currently lectures part time (note that I stated she was self-employed in the application)
— Attestation Letter from Late husband’s workplace and how long they have known her
— Land documents/ Receipt of Properties
— Pictures of my mom at Work and with other siblings in Nigeria ( I used Microsoft to build a template where I inserted pictures and stated what each of them was and where they were taken including the date they were taken)

2. Evidence of funds available to you
— Merged Bank statements of my mom’s personal accounts, created a table of content for each statement.
This was my biggest fear, cos during application, I asked my mom what she feels is her annual income and she said 500K, only for her to print statement and one statement had inflow of 6million+ with outflow of 5.9million, 6 months statement oh. Balance was 174,000 naira. I shock.
Her other statement too – inflow of 300,000 and outflow of also 260,000+ under 6 months. Summary is as she gets money, she distributes to different people as a good Samaritan that she is.
I questioned her and she said Nigeria is tough, she cannot have and not help people that come to her for help. Okay ngwanu,
*I didn’t include any letter of explanation because I didn’t want to draw any attention to it since she was being fully sponsored. And cos I filled 60k as her monthly expense in the application but was seeing expenses of over 250k in a month from her statement. SMH!
— Land document and Property receipt to show ownership (I also didn’t explain anything)

3. Evidence that Sponsor is not in breech of UK Immigration laws. – This also had a table of contents and page number of every doc in it
— BRP (back and front scans of me and my spouse’s BRB)
— International Passports data pages
— Visa Approval Letter from UKVI

4. Evidence of Support from Sponsor – Letter of invitation
— Letter of invitation stating how we were solely funding the visit, confirming relationship, current workplace, residential address, financial competence and stating that she wouldn’t pose as a financial burden to the UK. Attached phone number and email address and wet signed the Letter. (Just One page letter but very straight to the point)

5. Invitation from UK based family/evidence to be in the UK.
I still attached the letter of invitation here.
— Proof of reason why she was coming. – mainly pictures which I labelled all
— Proof of address – utility bill (only water and light)
— Proof of residency status – still attached BRP here too.

6 Evidence of Support from Sponsor
— 6 months merged Bank Statements – me and my spouse labelled each page on the table of content.
— Work employment contract of sponsor
— Payslips to show monthly/weekly income.
I didn’t draft any letter of explanation to explain anything cos the balance on the statements was adequate and transactions were clear.

7. Evidence of Relationship with Sponsor
— Merged – Birth cert showing her and my dad, my baptism cert, my marriage cert, wedding pictures far back where she featured, legal name change of spouse.
— Pictures of different events we have attended together, labelled all using MS word and converted to pdf

Highly detailed work
