Cashmadam:
Not necessarily. If the Father takes care of the Baby, the baby is not her dependant. She should not have added 4 dependants - that's a lot. Especially on such a low income. It's too late now so she should leave it at 4 and not increase to 5.

I hope this helps.

@ Cashmadam thanks

The mother is traveling alone with her new born baby that will make it to be 5dependant and another child,since the Father is not traveling with them,how is he going to take the additional dependant so that the mother can mentain 4dependants?

giselle237:
Yes. Works absolutely fine.

please I want to use bank statement of April-September for my visa application, but I plan on submitting my application on October 5

My question is, do I need to also upload bank statement of October 1-5

Please guys is this real ❗️❗️

Will you ask a soldier 🪖 fighting Boko Haram if his AK-47 has live ammunitions?

No, you don't need the statement for the 5 days in October.

The Mother will simply not list the Baby as her dependant. It's really not a big deal.

The fact that the Mother is travelling with her Baby does not make it compulsory for the Baby to be her dependant. If the Baby's Father provides all the funds for the Baby's upkeep, then the Baby does not need to be listed as the Mother's dependant.

The ones sent to my email monthly, I can merge all of them as one document

Can it suffice

Yes, that will work.

Hello house,my sister's application was refused.This is the refusal note.What can she do?Can she reapply ?Thanks

Sorry about the refusal.

Clearly, there was an error in the visa officer's submission. Did your sister state that she intends to spend GBP 12,000 on her trip?

Also, with a balance of 4M, it was unlikely she would get the visa. She will need at least 3million for her trip - which will technically wipe out the majority of the money in her account.

I suggest she goes back to the drawing board and start building her account for at least 6 months.

If she can travel to another Country, that would help with travel history.

Thanks for the response.The 12,000usd was the liquidated fixed deposit which she planned to augment the 4million naira for the trip.She planned to travel with her 2kids.

Good Evening good people. Please I would like to get clarification on how to go about something on my application. I work and earn salary monthly and I set aside a fixed sum consistently monthly as savings transfered to my savings account and leave a certain sum in my salary currently account from where I make expenses monthly expenses. I do not exhaust the funds I leave in my salary account for expenses.

I I leave N150k in my salary account for expenses but the amount I spend is not fixed . Sometimes I spend N120k, sometimes N110k, sometimes N132k in a month.
Given these scenarios, how will I present as my monthly expense since the amount I spend varies from one month to the other and is not fixed and is not up to the N150k I set aside for expenses

She does not need 12,000 for a short trip with 2 children. That was the first problem. Very big problem.

Calculate your monthly expenses for one year and find the average. The figure you get will be close to your monthly cost of living.

Cashmadam:
- Nobody can predict the outcome. Why don't you start the application and ask for help if you need it? No two applications are the same and so it is difficult to predict the outcome of a visa application. I would always advise that you try your luck cos it is only when you try that you can succeed.

Thanks a lot. More blessings to you

giselle237:
Uk standard visitor visa comes as multiple entry.
Uk does not require travel insurance nor travel booking.
If you are going to write an exam and CURRENTLY unemployed and yet showing funds- then there must be evidence and documentary proofs about how every 1 kobo was accrued. This still does not guarantee the visa.
Also you are not the one to say you are definitely coming back, your circumstances and the evidence you provide should be able to determine on a balance of probabilities that you may come back. The ECO will decide after that.

Thanks a lot for replying. May God bless you.

ok.Can she apply alone possibly in few weeks with a more robust account balance?

Olubi15:

so in a few weeks where is the robust money going to originate from?
Please there is no rush for another refusal. This is my opinion tho.

Olubi15:

What do you mean robust?

Rush to apply at her own risk. It is always better to prevent a refusal ...

However, she is an adult and should decide if she wants to risk a second refusal....

Please I just made payment for an assisted service appointment booking on the TLS site. The payment went through, my bank account was also debited. However, on my profile it is showing that Appointment 'Not Yet Set' and I have also not received my appointment booking email.
Please what do I do?

I booked visa appointment with Tls Ikeja, it's over 3hrs I made the payment. I'm yet to receive any confirmation mail or receipt.

What can I do please?

Hello. Please have you gotten an appointment confirmation email? The same thing just happened to me.

Good afternoon everyone.

My visa was denied and this was their decision, please advise me on what to do.

The inflow stated here was sent by my husband and the money was sent out subsequently within the week so I didn’t think I had any need to explain it, as it was not reflecting in my balance. Also, my salary does not have any name attached to it but I explained that one so I don’t know why it was an issue.


The decision
I have refused your application for a visit visa because I am not satisfied that you meet the
requirements of paragraph(s) V4.2 – V4.6 of

• Whilst I acknowledge the importance of family ties and recognise your desire to see
your sister, and that your spouse is willing to provide adequate support for a limited
visit to the United Kingdom; however, it is your personal circumstances and intentions
which are paramount in assessing your application.
• You have stated that you are employed by ——
earning ——- a month. To demonstrate this, you have
provided a certificate of employment, your employment agreement, and your personal
bank statements. Whilst I acknowledge the documentation you have provided. Whilst
I acknowledge that the credits shown in your USD account match that of your
employee agreement, I note that the description of these credits is generic and does
not demonstrate the source from which they are being credited from. This then casts
doubt as to whether these funds are genuinely available to you and whether you have
provided an accurate reflection of your circumstances in your country of residence,
which in turn leads me to doubt whether your intentions are as declared in your Visa
Application Form.
• You have also stated that you have no other income or savings. However, when
considering the information on your USD bank statement, I note that you received a
donation of $25,000.00 (£18,672.10) on the 02/08/24. This large credit is not in line
with your stated monthly income and consequently damages the credibility of your
declared financial circumstances. As the source of these funds are unknown and you
have provided no explanation for this, I am not satisfied you have given an accurate
reflection of your current financial circumstances. This then leads me to further doubt
whether intentions are as stated on your application form.
• Due to the above, I am not satisfied that you have accurately presented your
circumstances or intentions in wishing to enter the UK. I am not satisfied that you
intend to leave the UK at the end of your visit, that you will not live in the UK through
frequent or successive visits, that you are genuinely seeking entry for a purpose that
is permitted by the visitor routes. Paragraph V 4.2 (a) and (c) of the Immigration Rules.

@kayla0 sorry.
Unfortunately you caused this refusal.
25,000 USD is too much a sum, I mean too heavy a sum to have just appeared in your statement of account.
Salary credits can not be generic, if it was generic then you should have gotten a letter from your employer expressing categorically that they are the ones making these payments and reasons why the salary credits are not showing any specifics.

Thanks for your reply. I didn’t think the credit would be an issue because it was no longer in my account at the time of applying plus I asked my brother in law in the UK (who also assisted with my application) if I needed to explain it and he said no, so that’s why I didn’t.

For my salary, it’s from my bank. My bank statement doesn’t show the name of the sender sometimes but I notated on the statement concerning this and also made an explanation. I didn’t think I needed my boss to write a letter as I had everything else to back the salary, as was noted in the refusal letter.

Can I correct this and reapply or just leave the UK for now?

@ Cashmadam

With what u said above,that means the name of the baby will not appear on the mother's application form,are u sure that the eco will not say that it was not stated in the mother application that the baby will be traveling with the mother and denied the baby on this reason ?

I believe you can reapply, particularly given your initial salary, which appears to be quite reasonable within the Nigerian economy. It is essential to address the following misconceptions:
1. Contact HR: You need to speak with HR to obtain a letter clarifying why the salary credit does not reflect its source. This is a significant issue, as it ideally should have been documented.

2. Documentation: As an employee, you should have various forms of documentation, including promotion letters, ID cards, and records of meetings or conferences you have attended in your professional capacity. Additionally, photographs at work and other evidence are necessary to demonstrate that your employment is legitimate.
3. Large Transactions: It is important to clarify why your husband transferred $25,000 to you unexpectedly. If this transaction is new, you will need to provide your husband’s bank statements and employment details to establish the origin of this substantial amount. Only then will your explanation be credible and not perceived as a money lodgement.
4. Invitation Letter: Ask your sister to rewrite her invitation letter, emphasizing the emotional significance of this trip and why it is important to undertake it now.
5. Husband's Travel Plans: Since your husband is not traveling, consider ways to demonstrate to the Entry Clearance Officer (ECO) that he will remain in the country and that you are committed to your marriage.
6. Cover letter: Now that you have been refused you need to address everything and provide an explanation as to where you think you might have gone wrong or how you didn’t realise that receiving such gift money or even ‘push gift’ money would have been an issue
Please note that this list is not exhaustive. Lastly, if your husband is to sponsor you despite your stated salary, you will need to provide evidence of his financial sources, especially if you lack a travel history over the past five years.

Thank you so much for this. I’ll do as you’ve said and reapply, addressing all these issues.
