What did you upload as proof of studies? It should be a document that they can verify.

Applying immediately? When it is the date of graduation?
I uploaded a letter from my church confirming that I’m enrolled in a pastoral program.

So how do they verify this? The church has a functional website that your details can be verified? That's the problem.

You will sadly be refused again as you are not qualified for a visit visa at this time with your profile.
Also you witheld your bank statement because you knew it was not in order and wanted to take the chance and see without submitting it. You did not forget to upload it I fear.
Probability of you becoming an illegal is high. Do not waste your visa fees again for tourist visa please . Let your spouse pls get a COS asap for another visa category which allows dependents to come.

Good evening everyone.
I’m going to the UK via Egypt air soon, I read somewhere that I would need to present the card that was used to make the payment for the ticket. It was actually my sponsor that paid with paypal… do I need to present a letter from him stating that he made the payment or I should just leave it and assume they won’t ask?
Thank you.
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 5 by Desmondola2020: 10:11pm On Jul 08, 2025
No you don’t have to present any payment card.

It means your application has been decided and your passport is ready for pick up or delivery.

Did you get any email apart from this? If no, it is possible your visa was approved. But this can only be confirmed once you pick up your passport.

Congratulations in advance and keep us posted!

It's not about how much. Your debits should be less. Earning 100k and spending 100k is not good.

Is she going alone or with you to UK?

Any kids from this union? Children/dependants increase proof of ties to home.

Hello House
We did biometric 27th June but no update yet .
My husband needs to travel 14th July (it’s an emergency ) ,,is there a way we can request for his passport and submit the passport again when decision has been made ?
Or can we pay for priority even after biometric to fast track the process ?
I will appreciate your guidance
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 5 by Ibroguy121: 4:20pm On Jul 10, 2025

Good evening everyone. Experts in the house, pls help.

Can someone with , 6.5m total actual savings but locked with Piggy vest and earns 350k monthly, get a UK visit visa? Works as a data analyst.

Plan is to apply for a week visit, tourism to London. Has the following:
Piggyvest account statement
official leave letter
Letter of employment
Runs an NGO that helps out of school children and has evidence of their achievements
Bank statement showing salary earnings

Should the person move the savings to the normal bank account? The 6.5m is the person's savings.

Single and unmarried.

Do they stand a chance.

No travel history, 1 US study visa denial.

Who's sponsoring the trip?

If it is you, is it the funds in the piggyvest that you will use to fund the trip?

It's a 50/50 cos by today's inflation standards, your monthly salary is low. The savings in your piggyvest account will be depleted on one trip. You will be seen as a flight risk - especially with your profile. Single, unmarried with no travel history (this is my assumption so please correct me if I'm wrong).

May I suggest you try Schengen visa first? With them, they are easier to convince once you have a steady income (they are not fixated on the monthy amount like the UK).

Otherwise, you can try. Good luck!
