@ jolene474 thanks for ur response


Then how much in total for the travel expenditure did u put in naira?

davodyguy:
Your visa if granted has a duration and number of times you are to enter. If you're still within time frame, you're allowed to use it.

I got my visa in November, to go celebrate my wife's birthday.

We travelled and returned January, 2025.

After all the main reason of travel has passed right?

I just bought another ticket and would be traveling again this Easter, cos of my valid visa yet to expire.

I hope this clears your mind.

Emphasis on number of entries and duration

davodyguy:
This is for next time.

When traveling, aside from looking at cost and airline's comfortability (food, entertainment and travel hours) look at restrictions etc.

I booked ticket on Friday and while booking, Lufthansa was the cheaper to London, but I need transit.

Checked KLM and Air France, they're also cheaper than BA, VA and Air Peace, but both requires transit and most importantly you'll only be allowed Just a single 23Kg bag and hand luggage 🧳 for free

I looked at all these and my sincere travel agents laid all options to me, before we chose one of the three that takes us from Lagos to London direct with 23kg*2

So when next you're traveling, consider

Total travel time
Need for ATV
How comfortable airline is
How expensive or cheap


I believe your passport should be returned to via VFS before Friday next weekend

Good evening everyone,

In addition to the extra inflows from bonuses and allowances, I have received additional inflows in my salary account, due to transaction reversals for failed transactions and a recent commission payment from my employer. I’m concerned that a visa officer may view these inflows negatively, despite my travel history, which includes two trips to the UK in the last 10 years for academic purposes, as well as travels to Qatar, the US, Ghana, and Togo. Although I have provided email receipts from my bank to confirm that these credits are due to transaction reversals, I’m hoping that these reversals will not be a reason for a visa denial.

Additionally, I recently received a commission from my employer for assisting the institution in raising capital from investors. However, apart from a line item on my bank statement showing the commission received, there is no other formal evidence available, as my employer is unable to provide a letter or formal documentation due to the sensitive nature of the transaction.

Given this situation, what would you advise I do? I am hopeful that the explanations provided in my cover letter will suffice, even though I am unable to provide full supporting documentation for this commission. Has anyone been in a similar situation, and what would you recommend I do?

Thank you for your assistance.

I have refused your application for a visit visa because I am not satisfied that you meet the requirements of paragraphs) V4.2 of Appendix V because:
You have applied to visit the UK for 13 days to visit family.
You state you are employed as a Head of Administration with a monthly income of 1,215,000 NGN (£638). You state that you have a monthly expenditure of 700,000 NGN (£367). In support of this you have provided a bank statement from Zenith Bank in your name. Whilst I note this bank statement demonstrates that you are in receipt of your monthly salary; I also note you spend majority of it (and not 700,000 NGN) which leaves you with a significantly low balance each month. This contradiction in information damages the credibility of the current financial situation in your country of residence. I am therefore not satisfied you have given an accurate reflection of your current financial/employment circumstances in your country of residence.
I further note, you accumulated a total income of 21,158, 134 NGN within 3 months.
You therefore accumulated more than 15 times your monthly income. The source of these funds is unknown and are not in line with your monthly income. I am therefore not satisfied you have given an accurate reflection of your current financial circumstances in your country of residence.
Given the above, I am therefore not satisfied that you have demonstrated your circumstances are as declared, which leads me to doubt your intentions in travelling to the UK. I am not satisfied that you are genuinely seeking entry for a purpose that is permitted under the visitor route and that you will leave the UK at the end of your visit.
Your application is therefore refused under paragraph V 4.2 (a) and (c) of the immigration rules.
Rate of exchange £1 = [1,903 NGN] (reference www.oanda.com on [17/01/2025]


I got this mail, what can i do

davodyguy:
As much as I sympathise with you, I'll also blame you for allowing these people to 'eat' your $155 and VFS/TLS fee.


1. You said you're earning certain amount, yes they confirmed that.

2. You claimed that You only spend 700,000 but your monthly balance shows otherwise.

3. For someone that earns ₦1.2million monthly, hence in 6 months total inflow shouldn't exceed ₦1.2m *6 months = ₦7.2million.

How come you allowed ₦21million pass your account?

When we give advise or share testimonies here, some of us are not doing for show off, but to actually tell you what we did correctly.

I always refer people to read my own post most times.

I told them I earn certain amount monthly and I spend certain amount monthly. For 5 Months, that's exactly what entered my account, not even a kobo more and what I spend monthly, matches what I claimed.

This is very important and what you did wrong.

The ECO says he/she doubt credibility of your application, meaning Yiu lied to them.

Davodguy and others please.

I got this mail from UK since last week 10th of January and up till now they haven't sent any message or made any decision.

I did my Biometric on the 10th of December in Ikeja and it's a visit Visa.

Is anyone also in my shoes and how long did it take them to get back to you please.


I did my biometrics on December 19th and I got my visa already. So I think maybe they are looking at some informations you submitted or confirming details.
No issues, praying it comes out well for you.
They also sent me that mail, I think people that applied on December got that email, so don’t stress. It should come in this week.

Cashmadam:
You don't need flight reservation for UK visa.

Cashmadam:
N700,000 monthly expense out of N1.2Million monthly salary is high.

Over 6 months, that means you disposable income is N3million. How do you want to fund this trip of that disposable income? It's a potential red flag from my perspective...
