Hello, let me help give an answer to your question.

1: Can I get away with printing less than 6 months statement for my salary account?
Response: Ordinarily, what is common is to submit a 6-month bank statement, but I've read here about people who submitted 4-months bank statements and still got approved. Below is what is on the UKVI website:

financial documents showing that you have sufficient funds available. These must clearly show that you have access to the funds, such as:
bank statements which detail the origin of the funds held
building society books which detail the origin of the funds held
proof of earnings, such as a letter from your employer confirming employment details (start date of employment, salary, role, company contact details).
This is the link for your reference: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/visitor-visa-guide-to-supporting-documents/guide-to-supporting-documents-visiting-the-uk#demonstrating-personal-circumstances

Secondly: You can actually submit your application the same month of the graduation, just fill the form and fix your biometrics to like 3weeks before your exact travel date, then upload your bank statement a day before your biometrics. What I personally do most times is: I upload all documents needed after fixing a biometric date but I don't submit them, this is to make corrections in case of mistakes and corrections, then I submit the night before my biometrics. I hope this is understood.

I hope this can help you, if u need more help, I can drop my email and I can help you directly.
Thanks

Thank you!

I will definitely reach out.

Good evening everyone,

Pls what's the best method to make payments for UK Visa fees?
Also does mother and child document and biometrics submission could be different as they are going together?

Hi Daniel, how were you able to sort this out. I am in a similar situation

I applied for UK visit visa but got denied. Later in September I got a Kenya visa and I went for a conference there. I later applied for a Turkish visa in October for a conference but got rejected (all the Nigerian scholars got rejected).

Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 5 by AmeliaT: 12:16am On Feb 05

You can go ahead. My husband did 5 years after 6 months and so did two colleagues. Someone here also did 10 years after 6 months. You’ve gotten 2 X 6 months so you should be good.

Pay stubs in addition to the statement, please. Don’t risk it!

comfort207:
Hello people, I had a 6 months uk visa in 2023, used it and visited for a couple of weeks, 2022 the same thing, got 6 months visa, also used it to visit for a couple of weeks. based on visa cost and all, I think I want to apply for ten years visa. do you guys think I am qualified for it?
can one go from 6 months visa to 10 years visa? I read somewhere a while back that after 6 months, the next one you're eligible for is 2 years, but i saw a post here where one guy said he did 6 months and then did 5 years, so I'm wondering if i can do 10 years.
I do have a valid ten year canada visa(unused) in my new passport and an about to expire 2 year US visa(which i never used) in my old passport,
I have also had previous expired used Us visa's.

Also can i use pay stub in place of account statement?

Thanks in advance for your advice.

No, you do not. Your US Visa covers you.

Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 5 by AmeliaT: 12:54pm On Feb 05

First of all, February to July is 5 months; not 4. That’s an awfully long time. I would advise you keep it to the minimum you absolutely can. You’ve gotten the visa so that’s good but let’s hope they don’t get strict at renewal point because the US does this; they question people who eventually stay longer than claimed on the form and they’re expected to provide a solid reason so be ready for that; incase the UK starts to track and audit these things.

Buy a flexible ticket with a one month return date and then you can change it.

stick to a changeable ticket of less than 2 months. When she gets to your house comfortably, then you can change the ticket.
Ps- she will be asked how long she is staying for first and some officials proceed to ask to see any return tickets. Please no lies at the border. State exactly what’s on the ticket.
And also February to July is 5 months not 4.

Thank you.

Its from february 28th to july 10th as the price of the ticket is very expensive and to also change it will be another cost.

That is reason i want to book the period straight.

Thanks

Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 5 by giselle237: 2:52pm On Feb 05

@kunleop this is what is called penny wise pound foolish. Is the cost of changing flights equivalent to a terrible border experience for a 1st timer like her who stated 1 month on their visa application and appears at the border stating over 4 months?
Since you feel taking the risk would be fine, I don’t think you need to keep reasking same question in 4 different ways. We wish your mom all the best.

Hiya,

I don't do emails. It doesn't work for me so let's chat here. You can say everything without revealing your true identity. That's fine. I am happy to help.

prettyirene:
@Amelia T good afternoon. Please i sent you a pm this morning. Kindly response. I need to speak confidently with you. Its not an information i will like for public knowledge. Thanks for all you do.

Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 5 by AmeliaT: 4:05pm On Feb 05

4.5 months, nonetheless. The cost of the date change and flexi ticket should be your smallest worry. Your priority is that she makes it through the border and is not deported or detained like some people. Do not complicate issues; it's best to spend the extra cash. If you want, you can make the date change the day she gets to your home. Goodluck!

@Amelie T
Thanks for all you do. I will like to apply for UK visitor's visa 6months I need your input on the following questions.
1. I work with an NGO as a staff, our contract ended in December but was renewed this month but as a consultant for three months normally in the NGO our contract is renewed quarterly even if you are a staff but I have been with this particular organization for over a year. Do you think I can apply with this consultancy situation.
2. Can you educate me on disposable income and savings, my salary is close to 350k monthly I have a separate account where I save part of the money. But I want a clear explanation please
4. I have aunties who are UK citizens and they are ready to assist me with accomodations due to the current exchange rate. What documents should they provide. I have gone through the thread what is the meaning of brp
3. Our salary don't usually come on time as consultants, they could pay this month salary 2nd or more week of March. Will it affect my application.
4. For a lady who is currently separated and going through a divorce but has joint custody of her kids two teenage boys will her application be successful knowing that I don't have a strong family tie apart from my children who are in Nigeria.
I will appreciate your response on this issues raised. Thank so much for the work you do.
🙏

It's too early to start panicking since your application was submitted only 15 business days ago.

Hopefully you might get a pickup notice by the end of this week or early next week.

You’ve heard from the horse’s mouth, and I don’t think there’s anything else you can do but wait.

Hopefully, a decision will be made on your application before the end of this week.
