Hello my people. I was denied visitor visa, Nov 2015 on the account of low balance. Now I wish to reapply in October but my financial situation vis a vis my salary has still not improved significantly. I work with a state govt where I earn about 150k but being owed 6months salary. My question now is can I introduce other sources of income into the application when next am applying? Those sources include a partnership business with a friend and money from my wife as she's also a civil servant with FG earning almost the same amount as mine. Secondly in case my arrears of salary is paid, hope it won't amount to cash lodgement? and finally I wrongly filled No under the question that asked whether I have dependents in the previous application whereas I have a 9month old baby. If I include it in my next application, hope it won't have a negative effect on my application?

Thanks as I await your responses.

Help a brother plsssssss!!

Thanks very much, I understand that she can sponsor herself but with the rate of money now 1 million is just 2000 pounds now, but I would still like to sponsor her because after d visiting she can have something to fall back on. The only thing she got is landed property but I don't know which of d documents she should take out of it all . Thanks once again

If truly she has the 1M in her account, let her use her salary account, e e you have 100million pounds in your account, they have no business with you, They wanna know if truly she can afford to cater for herself when in the UK. But if u insist you wanna sponsor her without her account then apply with immediate effect, Use priority, and also use iKeja, a trial will convince us.

can I introduce other sources of income into the application when next am applying? Yes you can but you need to show documents proving that you are in business with your friend... No it will not have effect... but you make sure every necessary document showing partnership is included... make sure you let them know u were denied visa in NOV 2015... Just put Lack of supporting document

good luck

Sorry I don't understand what u mean by her budget . Thanks

Amount available for the trip and the categories she is to spend it on. Let the chunk of the budget be for her wedding shopping.

se iKeja, a trial will convince us.

I am of the opinion that she (annikyshaya) sponsor in the aspects of feeding and accommodation while she stake her savings on flight and shopping(afterall she has being saving for her coming wedding). Reason being that she would need budget more than 6/7months salary if she is to be On Her Own. Flight alone should be around 2months plus of her salary.
The ECO would mind why she want to spend 7months salaries on 'visitation'

Hello everyone, please I need you honest advice.
Am planning to attend my graduation ceremony soon, but my dad will be the one sponsoring the trip. Although the money required will be deposited in my saving account.
Here's my question do I need attach a sponsorship letter from my dad in my application. 2) I will be staying with a friend who is a British citizen during my visit, do I need a letter from him as well.
*Note duration of stay. 1week 5days
* At the moment currently Unemployed.
What other documents can I add to show that my intention are genuine and that am not planning to break any immigration laws.
Thank you in advance

If you are unemployed what are your strong ties to prove that you will return home?
This alone is a rejection.
Bulk deposit boosting your account, you must clearly show where it came from and why.
This is also a risk.
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by tunderule2016: 9:16am On Jun 01, 2016
IMO......

Leave money in dad account and when you get visa collect the bar...
Yes Sponsorship letter from dad... and dad bank statement .
If staying with a friend that is fine... but u will need more than a letter cos he needs to show is agreement ... or you can just go to booking.com open account there and find a close by hotel and use your credit card no need to have money inside.. and when u get there u can chose not to go to the hotel and go to your friend. But make sure you cancel.. later. More also, make sure the hotel u choising is pay on arrival.


Good luck...

You have a point also, so how do you suggest I handle the situation?

Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by tunderule2016: 9:56am On Jun 01, 2016
As @worry359 said there will be some strong worries for rejection... But you can do the following... Get a sponsorship letter from ur dad and also indicating that he transferred the money for the purpose of your traveling .... for graduation. Also, he needs to print out is bank statement and you will also do the same... cos that transfer must be identified.
{ I do something personally whenever i want to make the work of ECO easier... I circle my salary becos my salary dont come on exact date but ranges from last week of every month. So you can circle the deposit in the bank statements with the date so the ECO attention is drawn (it is my own opinion u dont have to do it)}

Your dad sponsorship also needs to indicate he has sponsored you all through your education. On the form, Additional information box... Explain in there why your dad transferred the money to you in briefs... so u dont give them much of reason of refusal. Let them know your travel records also proves you have never furstrated the immigration rules and you intend to come back to nigeria. You should be fine... Good luck

Please I need help with a few questions.

how can I make an book appointment before submitting the application so I can make any corrections ....
the portal shows that I have to submit when I complete it.
if I save it .it won't allow me to book appointment until I submit.

secondly I'm staying in an hotel in London;but my mother stays in northampton and she's a British citizen..Can I include her name in the column for family and friends in UK even though I won't be staying with her since Northampton is a bit from London...also if I include her..

thanks for your time
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by phardey: 1:21pm On Jun 01, 2016
Thanks much. I'm trying to stay positive smiley




tunderule2016:
Stay positive....
They do make mistakes that i can certainly tell u ...
They will send an official to CAC if need be.... but if i have to be honest they will not because it is getting to a busy period for them... most times they compare documents, or check the websites and if need they call if they have to.... Only send officials if the application is complicated... I just hope one day nigeria will get to the point where documents can be verified online or numbers can be verified online; it will make the document geninue. I recently tried checking something on NAFDAC website and it failed to verify the product; so it is naija for u ...
anyways, God in is infinite mercy will grant your heart desires... stay positive and have faith...

You submit before booking.
If you check the form there is an option there for family or friends in the UK where it asks if you will be visiting them

Saying NO would be denying ypy have a parent in the UK. Whether you stay with them or not is irrelevant.
Do you have family in the UK - YES.

Leave the money in ur father's account, transferring huge amount into ur account at this time would raise the ECO's eyebrow.... however, how old are you? You married? Do u have kids? Even at that you are unemployed, u have a very slim chances.

If that is the case, if truly the money came from your father's account, use tunderule2016 theory, since you studied in the UK, print ur dad's account with yours, circle the transfer that was made from ur dad's account and let him write a sponsor account.

Hello folks,
My company is sponsoring me for a training in the UK. I have had some visa refusals in the past.
Is it advisable to get an immigration lawyer to handle my application?

Has anyone out there used immigration lawyer for situations like this and they were successful?

Is the immigration lawyer required to write directly to the British embassy on my behalf?

What are the specific documents that can score me high chances of getting the visa approved.

Guys please help, this training is important to me
