Good evening everyone .
Please I want to find out when do we start counting for the processing time . Is it from the day of biometrics or from the day we receive the email that it has arrived the DMC.
I did my biometrics on the 10th of January but didn’t get the email that it has reached the DMC till 15th of January. So I am confused as to when to start counting from .
Thank you so much .

I forgot to add that in the invitation letter I did say I will be paying for her application fee, flight, and she’ll be staying with me. So the entire cost of her trip will be covered by me.

Cashmadam:
Where did you get hotel for 3 days @ £61?

Total budget is not the issue. Do you have the income to support this expense?

From what you stated, your monthly disposable income is N700,000. In one year, the assumption is that you have saved N8.4Million. Is that reflected in your statement of account?

If you add 2 wives as your dependant, surely your disposable income will reduce.

You need to think through this thoroughly - otherwise, refusal is loading....

Hello house. I've gone through the recent posts on the thread and can't find a case peculiar to mine. So please can you advice on how to go about my application:

- I'm employed by an European country but I opted to become a contractor because Deel exchange rates were really low. I was losing like half of my salary because they were using bank rate then.
- To be signed as a contractor, I had to register a company which I did. But I haven't even done anything via the company. I have been to the Schengen region 3x (France, Denmark & Spain have issues me visa) and I have never used the company details I registered. My company always wrote a letter of introduction stating I am employed as a contractor. Do you suggest I stick to the company invite and select 'employed' when completing the form?
- My Company pays me in Euros and thr amount I get each month isn't consistent because of exchange rate. So I don't really know how to answer how much you earn monthly question.
- Still on salary, I'd normally exchange half of my salary to naira to cater for my monthly expenses and just send the rest to Rise ($ wallet), or Bamboo (stock investment) or Piggyvest (naira if I have excess spill over from exchange rate). How do I explain why I am not moving all my salary into that one account I use?
- I also try not to put too much money in my naira account so I don't spend any how. The amount I exchange is usually just the exact that covers my monthly expenses or maybe surplus by 500k. Won't the Visa officer think I don't have enough money to cover the trip?

Thank you as your share your thoughts

@ Davodyguy and Cashmadam God bless you for the good work you are doing

Please I need your assessment on my 3days budget for business partnership visit to u k if is okay,my income is 1m, living expenses is 300k


Budget analysis.
Flight tickets from AirPeace =£700
3days Hotel =£61.
3days Feeding = £90
Transportation=£150.
Total budget = £1001.

Another question is that I have two wife's,can I include the wedding certificate of my two wives to the documents I will be submitting to increased family tie,?


2) Can I also add the two wife's in my dependants?

GoAbroad25:
Standard visa takes 15 working days.
You start counting from the following day you did capturing at VFS.
If after 15 working days, you did not get a visa, you can do a paid call

davodyguy:
Your chances of being granted are very slim judging by your immigration record with Home Office.

Also you also don't need to mention you have two wives, except if you've previously applied and mentioned them as your dependent. Otherwise, stick to the first wife that had refusal with you and your kids.

UKVI don't need to know that you have 10 wives.

Do you have any dependant? Yes, mention just the wife that was refused and your kids

You also need to be convincing that you're needed physically in the conference, otherwise virtual participation is an option to save you over a £1000 pounds.

Bro, forget UK and try SA first, then France.

If God blesses you more, let UK be your third A list country.

But I'm sure you're not going to listen, as your mind is made up and ready to give UKVI another $155

onile1975:
@ Davodyguy thank you I like ur response is for my own good God will bless you

10years a go I was refused with my first wife in 2015, two years after I got married with second wife,the second wife had 3kids for me,there ages are 8years, 6yrs and 3yrs, Is there going to be red flags to use her?

Lastly, it's not a conference, I want you to educate me on what travel purpose I will call it.
Am selling iPhone and Android phone, Nigeria use, I met a u k mobile phone company online and we started chatting, I told them that I want to be there distributor in Nigeria,they ask me to send money and place order for goods,I said no, because I don't no if they are scammers,they said I can visit them to believe they are not scammer,they sent me invitation letter.so pls what type of travel purpose can I call this visit? but I put for business partnership,is it okay

For a child that is 16 years and some months applying for UK visa, will she be required to get Concerning Police Character Certificate?

If yes, can it be done in any state?

davodyguy:
Do you want to hear the truth?

Please forget UK for the next couple of years.

This sounds like desperation. You don't need to travel to UK to become partner or distributor.

I've never been to China and the closest I got to China, was Hong Kong in 2015, but I've spent $thousands of dollars buying goods from China. I bought all building fittings in my house from China (The post can be found in 2021 in the property sector)

Students that paid School fees get denied, how much more you that wants to to become a partner of a company whose turnover may not even be worth £1,000,000 P/A

I have no further advice to you on this UK till further notice.

Forget UK
Forget UK
Forget UK
Forget UK
Forget UK
Forget UK
Forget UK
Forget UK

If you've not travelled out of Nigeria before, disvirgin your passport with SA, Kenya, Rwanda or Tanzania. Then try France(the easiest route to Europe) alternatively, try Qatar or Oman.

After any of the above options, come back to try UK.

If you want to waste your money that would better serve you and the innocent wives you have and your kids, then ignore UK. But if you have money to waste, continue on this mission.

I'm done answering you on anything UK

Good morning

@, Davodyguy

Why are you discouraging me, it's your guidance I need,if business visit can not work,then I can go for annual holiday,at least someone who was refused six times recently give testimony that he was given,is name is @ jonele 474,if he was discouraged he will not get it,even lincon of America contest 10times bf he became u.s president so no arm in trying.

naivasha:
He isn't discouraging you. He is being honest with you.

You can either listen to someone who has (successfully) applied for visas from several countries OR you can proceed with your application.

The choice is yours.

P.S. Lincoln ran for president only once.

onile1975:
@ Navasha

We're you not here when @jonele 474 gave testimony that he was given after many attempt,go back and read the thread, so there is nothing God cannot,by God's divine mine visa will be approved. Winners no dey quit

justwise:
Why not explain the mistake when applying for visa since all other documents are correct?

Jolene474:
Hahaha, it’s not as it seems, I have a lot of travel history and that’s why I felt entitled about the visa, on top that they still denied me and luckily it was their mistake I used to enter them and wrote the Home Office, My testimony came with a brutal refusal also and I think from what they told you, you needed a tight profile and from their observation, your personal and financial circumstances cannot do the trick..
You try to change course from business visa or do visit shows you are been blown around in the winds of thoughts and don’t go gift them free $155. Cuz they will gladly take it.
Listen to what they have told you, brush up your financial, this is the way those Visa Officer think, you have not been to the UK before, I don’t know if you have travelled extensively but saying you going to the UK for 3 days, they will just laugh.
That alone they will just put “you can’t spend this amount on a short trip” that’s all.
It’s good to be determined, but check your circumstances well and give it time, you can order small or send someone you know to go check the office, those are all means to avoid this 3 day trip. That’s how they think.
But if you are convinced you want to then proceed, nobody is stopping you, they are only using their experience to guard you, that’s all.
Best wishes.
