Cashmadam:
1. Nephew's graduation is not a strong enough reason. Vacation might even be a more acceptable reason

2. Depending on when you received the last refusal, it might be a good idea to wait till you reapply.

3. Have you ever travelled abroad? If yes, then that is fine. If no, it will be a red flag. If you earn N5M a month, how come you have never travelled. This is not me asking. This is how the visa officer will reason.

4. Why don't you try schengen or US. After that, try UK if you are successful. 3 denials is a hard sell

Good luck!
Does it mean that usa tourist visa is more easier to get?

I just got a refusal mail for uk visit visa. Some of the reasons for the refusal is;
-Volatility of my account
-my sponsors company was inactive on CAC for some reasons
-

I plan on reapplying this month
Is there anyway to improve my account details

can i ommit my own account details

can i use a Nigerian sponsor with a credible company though not related ?

You can't omit your account.

You can use a Nigerian sponsor. Option 1: His personal account that is not used for business transactions
option 2: His company account but CAC has to be active.

If you want to improve your account, you have to discard the idea of applying immediately.

Picked up my passport today with 2 years visa

It was quite fast just 4 days from biometrics to pick up email.

I was in the uk for 6 weeks on my 6 month last year. Submitted everything I saw on the thread but I guess submitting a my bank statement that gives them access to login in real time to access both my personal and company account might be the reason for the swift response.

Thank you all on the platform for the insights.


All the best

Hello to everyone

I had a 6 months uk visa from last year, I used it once and it expired in January 2025

I decided to apply for 2 years

Biometrics - Mon 23rd
Vfs email passport ready - Friday 27th

I didn’t receive any refusal email from ukvi so far

But my worry is why so fast? I have never seen this kind of timeline before just 4 days to decision, I didn’t pay for any sort of piority just normal application. I m kinda nervous. I’ll pick up by Monday. Pls does anyone have an idea why decision so fast even tho I didn’t pay for Piority fast track,

Biometrics was done at Ikeja Lagos.

Bless you all for all meaningful contributions
Congratulations, my mind is at rest because someone I helped fill out their form also did biometric last week Tuesday and got a WhatsApp message yesterday that the passport is ready. The person also visited UK once last year on a six-month UK visa.

Is it okay to put that she us coming to visit and for the birth of the baby since our parents can't home?

"Please attach the document directly to the email as we are unable to access links to files hosted on sites such as Dropbox(TM) or Google Drive(TM)."

Sometime in year 2024, I told here that you would be refused and let me tell you again, that if you apply again even next year, you'll be refused again the 7th time...

My last advise for you, forever,

Look for other countries to go and forget UK.

If you like pray, fast and join NSSPD or any mountain, it will be same outcome, because we're talking reality here not jokes.

God answers prayer, but if you pray to automatically start flying a plane with no formal training, then you're heading for doom.

So forget UK and try Qatar, any other African country

Then try Schengen before coming to attempt UK

I read that you're asking for details of Lawyer. If you hire Femi Fálànà (SAN) he will use your money to cool off, cos he lose the appeal.

Face reality and wake up. UK will not grant you visa anytime soon as this is becoming desperation

Whilst we wait for the gurus to answer, the above answer to no 1 alone shows us you don’t get it and would rather prefer not to get it. Ghana travel history? How?
Then you have quite a number of grammatical errors every time you write that could be improved. Did you try to get someone with strong English skills to write/express your thoughts in your cover letter and now complaint letter? This might be a huge contributing factor to your denials.

The chap is just ridiculous and very stubborn.

He stands zero chance.

I told him back then, but he's adamant on failing.

UK will not give this guy visa except he has A or B list countries travel experience.

Qatar, India, Malaysia, Singapore would open this chap up, but he's not ready

1. They are trying to help you, that's why they contacted you requesting for additional document. So nothing to worry about.

2. That the sponsor bank statement should be attached to the email when sending it.

Where's the best center to do the TB Test for a non Lagos resident?

Benin is closest but they don't have a functional phone number for any inquiry. If you have used Benin IOM for TB Test, please drop how you made payment and recommend any good hotel you stayed/ saw.

Lagos: if you used the Lagos IOM, please recommend the one that gave you almost no stress and how you went about it.

May I suggest that you build your travel history to other countries before applying.

While it's possible to apply for a UK visa with a 3 or 4-month bank statement, especially if you have good cash flow and can demonstrate a consistent income, it's generally recommended here on this forum that it is better to provide a 6-month bank statement. It will help the UKVI assess your financial situation and travel plans more thoroughly.

Some people used a 4-month bank statement, and their visas were approved, but note that everyone’s situation is not the same.

Assess your situation first and then determine what is best for your application.
