jmoore:I can't remember but I think you can choose living with family. If that option is not available, then choose Own. I think there is a portion for additional details so you can put that you live with your family and then state who actually owns the house. |

Horlaidey007:Thank you. I will advise you, with the increasing spate of refusals not to attach cac if you will not tag your bank statement. Better to apply as an employee for your/an organisation and say you are working as XYZ. Attach employment letter too to proof that. Work on your payslips but be sure it reflect what you have on your bank statement. Typically, irregular monies in your account can cause refusals. Explain with a letter if need arises, avoid lengthy explanation, tabulating can help give analysis of your finances. Attach proof of ties to Nigeria. Other supporting documents. Technically, don't mention on your application you have someone in the UK, you are a first time applicant. Others can add something too. Goodluck. |

She uses her personal bank account for running the business. I guess requirements for opening of business bank accounts is a lot. [quote author=Cashmadam post=135535427][/quote] |

adecoal:Refusal Summary: What Went Wrong Lack of Retirement Proof: You wrote that your mum is retired (from self-employment/trading), but no documents proving retirement were provided. ECOs expect something like: Retirement ID or letter (for civil servants, pensioners), Or a simple sworn affidavit or letter explaining retirement from informal/self-employed work. No Regular Income Clearly Linked to Her Name: Even though you send her ₦100,000 weekly, ECO couldn’t identify this because: The bank statement may not have shown transfers labeled with your name. You may not have included a letter of financial support from yourself with a clear explanation of those regular transfers. They Questioned Her Financial Independence: They saw no proof of personal income (retirement pension, rent, business, etc.). And they didn’t find enough credible financial support in the documents to show she’s well-supported for this trip. ✅ What You Should Do Before Reapplying Here’s how to address the refusal with precision: 1. Fix the Retirement Proof Since she was self-employed: Write and notarize a retirement declaration (affidavit or letter) stating: "I, [Full Name], formerly worked as a trader at [location] for over 20 years. I have now retired due to age and am no longer engaged in business." Attach any old trading license, market union card, or receipts if she has any. If none, the sworn statement will be enough when clearly written. 2. Show Regular Support from You Write a sponsorship/support letter: "I, [Your Full Name], am the daughter/son of [Her Full Name]. I send her ₦100,000 weekly to support her. These transfers are visible in her attached bank statements under the following references..." Highlight the transfer lines in the statement. Attach your own bank statement if you want to further confirm you’re the sender. 3. Update Her Cover Letter Update it to clearly explain: That she is a retired trader (not pensioned). That her ₦5 million balance comes from your regular family support. That she has no obligation to work anymore and her financial needs are covered. That she has strong personal ties in Nigeria (property, family, responsibilities). 4. Add a Declaration Explaining the 5M If they doubted the ₦5M, explain: "The funds in my account have been saved over time from regular support provided by my children. These include ₦100,000 transfers received weekly as family support." 🚫 Common Mistake: Assuming the ECO Will “Understand” ECOs will only go by what’s clearly documented. If it isn’t in writing — or traceable in a straightforward way — it won’t be considered. So while you know the funds and support are genuine, they can only act based on evidence in the application. |

Please guys, I am in a tight corner like this. I applied for visa via the priority (5 days) on the 15th of this month due to my exam next week Wednesday in UK. Up until now, no response. I called their home office in UK and they confirmed that they’ve attended to my application but no email. What can I urgently do? |
| Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 5 by kman3000(m): 7:47pm On May 28, 2025 |
inspiredhill:They haven’t even replied me, same date of exam. How do one preceed? |
