Oga giselle, adequate funds dey. The whole idea of splitting the budget was just so my wife and I could both be represented. Either of us could have done it as we both work full time and the account statements we each provided attested to that so I don’t think that would have been the problem.
On the other hand I know students and PSW holders who have combined funds to bring their parents and got the visa.
I genuinely don’t think that was the problem if not they would have mentioned it.
As for evidence and stuff, well there was no letter explaining the arrears but there was a payslip, stamped and issued by the pension board. I believe if we had asked for a letter she would have easily gotten one as she retired a senior civil servant and she has her ways.
I don’t like crying over spilled milk and I believe obtaining visa is a privilege not a right, I just wanted to touch on some of the points you mentioned.
Well done.

Hello

For student visa, when filling the form online, if accommodation has not been sorted yet, the address of the school can be used right??

Thank you

giselle237:
Yes please

pharell910:
And it does not matter if the school does not offer accommodation??
Thank you

America001:
I honestly feel cheated because this is borderline insane and feels like daylight robbery.
Every single thing they highlighted was clearly explained in the application even the expenses.

I feel like I should raise a complaint or something because I have no assurance that they won’t assign her application to a drunk fellow every time she applies again.

giselle237:
I really hate that you both decided to split 850 and 450- to me there was no need as you say there are adequate funds. If there was a voice note app here, I would have happily dropped a long explanation to what I am trying to tell you. Anyway goodluck in your next steps.

Ashirioluwa:
You can lodge a complaint if you believe that the basis for the refusal is incorrect or inaccurate; otherwise, filing a complaint will amount to a waste of time because it won't yield a positive result.

America001:
Boss Ashirioluwa, first of all thank you for responding. I’ve been a follower of both you and giselle especially in the Life in the UK thread.
The fact that they didn’t even acknowledge my evidence and explanation is what’s driving me mad.
If you check the screenshots I attached above, you’ll see I highlighted every single reason they used in the denial during application. I picked those transactions one by one with date and evidence only for them to use them as reasons for denial without even recourse or acknowledgment of my explanation letter or payslips?
Assuming they acknowledged any of that and faulted them, I would have felt defeated but right now I feel cheated.
A whole payment and payslips from Anambra state government of Nigeria is what they term unknown sources. I swear e no go beta for this people. A payment clearly written “leave allowance” is what’s labelled unknown sources even with the stamped payslip.
I wish I was having a one on one with them cos this is really black and white bullshit.

Can you advise how I can proceed with the complaint?

America001:
I would really want to raise a complaint because even if they conveniently chose to ignore the letter of explanation, why didn’t they consider the payslips or did I manufacture that too? If they doubted the authenticity then they should have verified it.
My brother I’m talking to you as if you’re the person responsible for UKVI decisions, don’t mind me.
How do make this next move is what I’m asking.

WCUB3:
Any Feb 17th biometrics here? And am I the only one unable to check application progress on VFS for a few days now?

Hello
For TB tests, what documents do you go along with when going to the centre. Is it just the appointment letter, passport and receipt of payment if you made payment??
Also, is there a link to get the current exchange ratr used for the TB test payment?

Nysckits:
Good morning, Boss.

Would a transit visa be required when flying with Qatar Airways? Also, would you recommend them, considering they are slightly more expensive than Air Peace for the intended travel period? Airpeace is around 1.560 while Qatar is around 1.650 or 1.7 for the intended period.

Kindly advise and recommend the best option. Additionally, I’d appreciate any insights on their stopover experience, as this will be my first time traveling to the UK, and I want to ensure a smooth journey without issues at any entry point.

The planned travel month is still June 2025.

Thank you.

giselle237:
Please go to the UK student thread. You will get better help there. Non one fixes the exchange rate, they already have their naira charge rates set out.

pharell910:
Will address future questions there. The fees stated is $95. Reason why I asked for the rate being used. If I were to transfer to make payment, just to know the exact amount to transfer

giselle237:
Again, fees charged by them is in naira and are reviewed not frequently. There is no fluctuation with exchange rates.
Go to the UK student thread and ask OR check their respective websites- IOM, Q life etc OR call the offices- IOM, Q life, St Nicholas etc.
You will not get answers or very delayed responses here.

eniola1010:
I applied for someone visit visa, it was refused, but no reason was stated. Whats the way forward pls.
I have never seen something like this before.

babadydx:
The reason was stated

giselle237:
@eniola1010 send paid mail. This was a mistake.

eniola1010:
What happened to the application or relevant info submitted? Is it pof, is it work ref letter, is it education degree, is it payslips, agent no talk which of them he get issue with.

What about the travel history? The person has never left nigeria before is that a taboo?

No interview was done with the person or the person’s sponsor?

No detailed reason
So how exactly is one supposed to correct whatever the agent found wrong when i re-apply?
