Cost of expense to the trip from my own wallet was put at £200.
I was surprised when I receive the refusal letter 2day.

The reason are that I earn 63,799 a monthly and he's afraid I will be back after my preside 1 month stay in the uk.
He also said he was you stated that you are married with a kid,however you have provided no evidence of your personal circumstance in nigeria? Pls I don't understand Dis reason cos I provided my son's birth certificate,all his school fee receipt right since he started school till date,my house rent receipt for 3yrs till date,utility bill,tenancy agreement with my landlord when I rented d apartment.

Hello,
Thanks

It sound like they were not convinced about your finances
although you say you provided evidence.

Just a thought from what you wrote here.
Did you submit so much that the vital fact was lost in all the paperwork.
You probably understood what you sent but if the VO only scanned through thy might have not see some facts.

If you re-apply look carefully at what you send and keep it simple but truthfull.

I just wonder if you sent a lot of printed material
Did the VO read it all, or just take a quick look and miss something important.

I printed all I need and submitted and still don't understand why I was refused and please kindly go through my write up again and advice me on what to do..
Frontpage lawyer read up my story and advice me on what to do..please I need more advice and pples opinion.

You complicated your application by saying you receive funds from family when you have no evidence to show the source. Did your submit you marriage Certificate

OK but I can still explain by making a new application and I forgot my marriage certificate at home and it wasn't there so. What's your advice

abbey1986:

Now u can see tht the visa officer was right in his or her decisions, before you can reapply, you must address all the issues raised against you by the ECO. Let me ask you the ffg questions
1. How much was ur closing balance when you applied?

2. Did u claim that ur mother would pay for all expenses including flight?

3 Where did u submit ur application, VI or ikeja?

3. How Old are you that you still receive monthly pay from your father?

4. can u get all documents to prove the sources of these funds?

@ abbey1986..you complicated and contradicted yourself.. in the following areas
- you are married yet you didn't provide marriage certificate, you are probably in your late 20's yet you still receive funding from parent..including sponsorship..you are working yet you still get support from family..not economically strong
- if all your trip is fully funded like you said..where will you get the 1000 pounds living expenses you included? ..your account balance doesn't sound buoyant enough.
What you need to do
Wait .till you have a credible account balance
With sufficient funds to sponsor yourself.. your mum should write only accommodation and feeding, you shouldn't apply for more than 10 days on your first visit.. you are a family man..do not include that your dad is giving you monthly stipends.. not kool for a married man..

I have a quick question please. Do we pay the visa fee in naira or another currency? Do we pay the fee online or deposit the money in the embassy bank account? I am sorry I am not able to go back and read from page 1. If someone here can answer my questions I will appreciate. Thanks.

If your mother is truly a UK citizen, why has she not applied for you to get permanent residency for the UK since you are her son? I mean, there is a clause that allows UK citizens to file for their parents, siblings and children. So why has your mom not yet filed for you to come over?

You know these Europeans are aware of the sorry state of Nigeria at the moment so they will really scrutinize your application because they suspect that many Nigerians are a flight risk due to the poor state of the economy. Why did you not include your marriage certificate when you applied or don't you have one?

Lastly, I hope the UK embassy did not stamp "DENIED" in your passport anywhere? If they didn't, don't worry, try another European country for vacation if its okay with you.

Good morning guys.

Help me please. Will the use of a free hotel booking which doesn't even ask for card details be detrimental to my application?
I feel the eco might not be convinced if I'm not charged or drop card details.

Please what do you think FrontPageLawyer Tunderule2016 Justwise

Thanks

I remember advising you not to apply until you get a better job or your salary increases but nay, You went ahead to dash them free kpof kpof money.
Truth remains, until you salary/income increases significantly, you're simply dashing them free money.

Good day, I heard a UK citizen can only file for his/her under age child{under 20 yrs or so}. Please how do we go about this? Please can you copy me the link.
Thank you very much. Hope to read from you soon.

The fee is paid online with a debit/credit card after you must have filled your application form and submitted.

I feel the problem is from the closing balance of the account statement you submitted.

Yes, you should present the 2 accounts to show evidence of your monthly income.
Check online for fees charged by hotels and you can calculate how much 10 days will be.
Also, check online for flight ticket amounts and you can build your budget from that.

Hello Nairaland family,

Please I will like to know if in the visa form, someone can put a mobile number as the contact details of employer who will be sponsoring a business trip.
This is because if the land line is used, the company representative may not be in the office to receive the call when the ECO makes calls to the company.
Is there anyone there in a similar situation who used mobile contact & was successful?

Mobile number is acceptable but just mke sure it's a genuine number cos they can easily confirm

abeylevels:

Why, Why, Why.

Keep asking strangers on here to guess the answer.
One contact with the embassy will give you FACT!

Guys, please which bank can one process form A at present for school fees and if you know any account officer that can help please you can connect me. Thanks Guys.

Thanks @ askari. The number is indeed genuine. I just wanted to be sure they will not be thinking why land line was not used.
My concern with land line is if the company secretary/receptionist happens not to be in the office to receive call from the Embassy.
I need assurance from people who have used mobile number as employer's contact.
Guys out there pls tell me your experience..plzzzzzzzz

I'd advise you use the landline, more credible. They rarely call employers and if they do want to call, I'm sure they'd call during official work hours.
