Wrong section to post this kind of question. I bet 90% of the people on this thread don't even know what GMC is, so look for the appropriate thread to post your question about GMC.

Without a letter of leave or vacation or introduction letter from your employer. You are likely to be refused. You really need a current proof of employment to satisfies the ECO in this instance.

Your relationship to your uncle is not a strong proof of a home tie. Your uncle application is likely to be approved as he has a good immigration history to the UK. I am not so sure about yours as it will depend on your age at the time of application. If you're above 18 years, you not a minor, as such the ECO may be worried about your real intention to visit the U.K. with your uncle. Anyway you will need documentation from your school. Admission letter, exam results, course registration, letter from school permitting you to travel outside the country if the school is in session. Documents that support your relationship to your uncle e.g. Photographs, evidences that you are staying with your uncle and that he is your guardian. Good luck.

Your age, social and economic ties will be highly suspicious to ECO as there is nothing strong enough to compel you to return back to Nigeria after your visit.

Sure you can do an affidavit to show your relationship with your uncle. Your uncle should include a cover letter to ECO claiming his responsibility to you as a guardian and why he wants you to accompany him to the UK.

@captgb How are you doing? Congratulations on your family permit.
Please just wanted to ask. Did you send all original documents to Sheffield or you submitted everything in Nigeria. Thanks

Hello, hope it's fine to answer your question ? Submit everything at the TLS centre, you don't need to send any document to nowhere. Go with the original document of everything, make (if possible coloured) photocopy of documents that are not in A4 or are have tears, print out pictures, screenshot of communication etc in A4 coloured preferably. Then at the TLS centre, they scan everything and return your original documents to you. That is all. Don't forget to cross check the list given to you to ascertain that all ur documents have been highlighted. Human error might be inevitable.

If you are over 18 years, then it will be very difficult to convince the ECO for a visit visa. The only other way is get a student visa to study there.
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by Flawless1988: 11:20pm On Apr 09, 2017
I applied for my visitors visa on the 17th of March with my husband, got a mail that decision was made on the 5th of April, we got our passports with visas on the 7th of April. Although have had previous UK visas, but I didn't apply from Nigeria at that time. So, when I decided to apply again, this time around with my husband who has never gotten or applied for a UK visa, I searched through the forum and got a handful of information. Below are the list of documents we took to TLS, it was scanned and was given back to us.
1, Standard Application form for 2 of us
2, Hotel confirmation, booked on booking.com
3, Bank statements for me and him, over 2million Naira each, we don't have pay slips!
4) leave letter from our various place of work( both doctors) and letter of employment from our previous and current place of work
6) our medical license to practice plus renewal receipt
7) wedding pictures( photocopies) our purpose of visit is our anniversary
cool Detailed statement of purpose from both of us, listing the tourist attractions we would be visiting
9) Car Documents
10) Land Survey DOcument of our piece of land, not yet developed
11) marriage certificates
12) Affidavit of change of name
13) previous UK visas
14) photocopies of previous visas
15) Certificate of Ownership of our accommodation ( owned by my dad)
16) my fathers bank statement cos he transferred a sum of 1million Naira to me a month ago, I explained in my SOP, cos I didn't want the VO to hv the impression of a lump sum of money in my account
17 ) sealed it with prayers
In order to make payments for visa, one of our friends who lives in Canada paid with his Card

Congratulations @flawless1988. Even though with your previous UK visa, you still took the time to make a water tight and meticulous visa application for your husband and yourself supported with all the pieces of evidence and documents. I am impressed and I wish other applicants will read your post to know that applying for UK visit visa, need serious preparation, gathering of all necessary documents and prayers. Wish you a wonderful wedding anniversary celebration in the UK.

Being in school could be a strong tie, depending on how you package your application to demonstrate that you will return back to your studies after your visit. This, in turn, will depend on your current level of study, the name of the school, the degree in view, and financial support of your study (scholarship etc?). Your closing bank balance or account statement is irrelevant here since you're a student and your uncle is the one sponsoring your education and the UK trip by inviting you to come along. I suggest that you work more on providing documents on your schooling tie. These will include but not limited to Admission letter, payment of school fees, certified semester results, school academic transcripts, letters of introduction from your school authorities, head of department, dean of school/college, course registration etc.

At 36, you deemed to be an adult and therefore your daddy cannot sponsor your visit even though he is a British Citizen, neither can he register/bring you to the UK as his son since you're over 18 years (https://www.gov.uk/register-british-citizen/children-born-outside-uk). The best he can do is to invite you to visit him. The onus is on you to provide a strong tie to Nigeria that you will return back after your visit. What your daddy can at best send to you for the application are copies of his British passport, utility bills, bank statement and a letter to ECO outlining his relationship to you, why he want you to visit him and offer to provide accommodation during your visit. You will need to provide the other 90% of the document to convince the ECO that you will not overstayed your visit. For documents and financial requirements please see the above post by @Flawless1988.

Hi my gf has applied for a uk visit visa. I have been looking online everywhere to see what her the email I copied mean she been rejected or accepted. Lots of people say you can tell but everytime someone post this email they never follow up to inform whether they have been accepted or rejected. Has anyone who has been accepted ever received this email below?

the decision will be sent back to either the UK Visa Application Centre where you applied, where we will

contact you by email over the next few days to collect them, or if you are using the courier return service, will

The above email is a generic reply. Everyone get this email, whether approved or rejected. The only way to know is for her to go and collect her passport. If she sees/feels is a paper enclosed with her passport in the collection envelope, that is definitely the ECO refusal letter. Successful applicants do not get any paper apart from their passport in the collection envelope.
