LazzyH:

I would like to visit my brother and my cousin @ southampton & cambridge and i am not working at the moment but have a small company(Business) that I manage. Please educate me on how to go about getting a visitors visa or the best way to go about applying. I intend visiting for a week or 2 and how much do I need to have on my account + I just registered my company August. Do I use my company accnt or my personal account. I do not want to be addressed as a business owner. What doc would I ask for from any of my brothers can both of them invite me? And my staying der for 2weeks will give me enough time to do a crash course on drilling as that use to be my old profession.
Thank you... There are some other info I can not expose here... Thanks once more... [color=#006600][/color]

Is he living permanently in US or he is there temporarily?

nkkystel:

He's living permanently in the US (LPR). I am yet to join him and that is why we want to know if we can apply from Nigeria.

Jehovahshalom: @justwise,please I need your contribution on what I need to do,I apply for tier 4 general student visa for myself and tier 4 dependent partner for my wife...my own visa is granted while my wife own is refused...reason for refusal is because my course of study is not post graduate level but HND level,though it is 12 month in length ,and we are been given full right of appeal if we are not sastify with their decision before 28 days

LazzyH: Thanks once more.
@ justwise...
How much do I need or what is the minimum amount of money do I need to have on my personal account to apply, assuming I work for my company and do I tender a salary account statement and a savings account statement too. I want to believe its thesame cos I do not have a savings account other than my salary current account.
I transfered a million from my company account into my salary account simply for this purpose.

Sorry for the continuous probe. I am curious and need to be well informed.

You also need to write a breakdown of how much the trip will cost you.

Yes you can apply from Nigeria with his bank statement though you need to explain that he will be traveling with you.

nkkystel:
Pls Justwise, who should apply my husband or myself. His bank account is that of US and not Nigeria.
Thank you!

justwise:

You need to apply for your visa in Nigeria, it doesn't matter if his bank statement is that of US, he is the sponsor and traveling with you.

nkkystel:
Thank you very much.

justwise: @All

There is a fraudulent visa agent with ID Ayomide777 and email address: onile4adebayo@gmail.com viewing this thread and sending emails to some members here. Be careful, don't be a victim.

justwise:

Sadly that is the rule, you need to be studying a course at level 7 lasting 12 months or above to be able to bring your family, HND is level 4/5.

See my attachment

justwise:

Don't forget to use the blank space in the form to explain the traveling arrangement.

Jehovahshalom: so what need to be done now,liKe what can will do,because I cannot go without my wife....what category of visa should I apply for her

esosa4real: Thanks @3sha4lyf!
I get it tho buh I jus sha hope they don't take and look into every detail in the form
Cos for example, I stated in the form that I do not ve any fam member or friends and wud stay for 5days.
But actually I plan to stay in uk for 2weeks. My plan is to go to norwich for conference thru manchy then return to manchy and stay with my cousin and then friends for remng part of my stay then return to Naija.

And about the money thingy, na 1500 dey my form o, should I still mention that I have that? Or jux mention that I ve lesser buh am with my creditcard?

Anyways all these are jux in case and don't mind my curiosity, am a first timer UK.

abaskekere: good evening all, please @3sha4lyf, vicJ and JWise was filling my family visit visa form online and got confused by this question: "what is the cost to you of your stay in the UK"

although I have a sponsor who will pay for my trip, but I have to fill in this field, does it inquire how much of my own personal money I will use for the trip, please enlighten me, thanks.

SashaPride: Thanks A lot.

In my previous application my employment status was unemployed. Do you advise i use the 'Supported by Partner' instead of 'Unemployed' so they know he fends for me here in Nigeria.

masterp204: Hello justwise and vicjustice . Am bout to renew my uk visa. Should I use a paid hotel booking/reservation or just an ordinary hotel reservation.
Tnx

Chrizizon:

I was in similar situation as u when I applied for family visit to d UK. I addressed myself as a business man because I hv a business name registered, my business name was registered April this year and I applied around August this same year.
Here are lists of documents below I attached with my application:

1.completed and duly signed uk visa application form
2.my e passport
3.original and copy of cert. Of registration of my business name
4. Original print out n copy of individual tax registration (U Can also get this if u dont already have a tax registration number at the nearest firs office..it's free and takes less than 5 mins to generate if they have network in their pc )
5.my personal savings bank statement covering a period of 6 months
6.2 photos showing me and my sister who invited me
7 . Transcripts of past msgs exchanged tru email n facebook to sister n my nephew to support family relationship n communication claim
8. P60 end of year certificate for my sister in uk
9 . Copies of utility bills.(electricity, gas, water) of inviter
10. Copy of national insurance card of inviter
11. Copy of driving licence of inviter
12. Copy of data page of int'l passport of inviter
13. Copy of age declaration doc of inviter
14. Invitation letter
15. Receipts and invoices for past transactsions of my business

I had to explain to em why I am using my savings acct as my business acct as I dont hv a business acct ..I also stated briefly about my business operations, nature of business n how payments are made to me for most transactions

I hope it works out for u too as it did for me.

Transferring money from your business account to salary account because of this trip is not going to do your application any good. Money in your other account supposed to be your profit from the business and not your business capital transferred purposely for the trip.

The point is this...this trip should not affect the running of your business financially, you should be able to proof that you can afford to visit the UK from your savings without touching your actual business capital.

The problem you have now is that you don't have tax certificate because that piece of document will state your gross and net profit.

Make a budget of how much this trip will cost you then that will help you determine how much to feel in the form.
