giselle237:
12*

Investorvibess:
You mean today makes it 12 working days ,I was thinking we count from the day of biometrics

giselle237:
12 yes.
People do biometrics till 5pm and some even past 5pm and the application will only be transferred after biometrics- does that classify as 1 working day? No.
They need hours to work on your application and the case worker will not be doing it after close of working hours.

Investorvibess:
Thanks for the information … do you have idea when to receive response from them ?

davodyguy:
No one can know with certainty.
I did Biometrics on 8th November.
On 12th November, UKVI mailed me that they have received the application and will now start working on it.
I got Passport collection mail on 27th November.
I didn't count from 8th November day of Biometrics.
Between 12th to 26th (27th was collection mail, meaning they may have sent to TLS on 26th November) is about 11 working days

For those of you who've been granted a UK visitor visa, how much (in Pounds) did you state as your total budget for one week in the UK (excluding accommodation)? To maximize the likelihood of being granted a visa, what's a reasonable/conservative budget (in Pounds) to state for a one-week visit based on a monthly salary of about 882,000 Naira, total annual allowances of about 1.6 million Naira and a monthly disposable income between 700,000 Naira and 900,000 Naira?
Your response will be highly appreciated please.

giselle237:
Hi, I am uncertain what response you are hoping for as circumstances differ.

b31164707:
I know circumstances tend to differ, but I am only asking for a range that would very likely be considered acceptable to any UK visa officer, based on a monthly salary of about 882,000 Naira, total annual allowances of about 1.6 million Naira and a monthly disposable income between 700,000 Naira and 900,000 Naira. Hence, will it be reasonable to budget between 900 and 1,100 pounds for a one-week trip to London (including flights but excluding accommodation)?

giselle237:
There’s no guesswork involved here:
- **Salary:** 882,000 Naira
- **Annual Allowance:** 1,600,000 Naira (average of 133,300 Naira)
- **Total Monthly Salary:** 133,300 + 882,000 = 1,015,300 Naira

**Living expenses monthly:** Ranges from 700,000 to 900,000 Naira, with an average of 800,000 Naira.
- **Disposable Income Calculation:** 1,015,300 - 800,000 = 215,300 Naira

A disposable income of 215,300 Naira, based on general economic views, isn’t realistic for a short holiday. Even x 3 this amount. However, when viewed against a 1 million Naira salary, it feels very okay for such an individual to invest on a vacation.
So, I’m curious about the response you’re seeking. If we're assessing it superficially, 215k in disposable income may seem insufficient, but it’s not a one-size-fits-all rule.
Please budget your application according to YOUR circumstances and let the visa officers evaluate it from there. Additionally, there are websites where you can check flight prices; if you find a return flight for 900 pounds, feel free to screenshot it and include it as evidence in your application.
There is no UK visa officer on this thread and remember , there’s no universal standard. Good luck.

b31164707:
Please re-read my initial post. I never mentioned monthly living expenses being as high as 700,000 to 900,000 Naira per month. Instead, I said what's a reasonable budget for someone with a monthly disposable income between 700,000 and 900,000 Naira per month?
