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.
Thank you very much

Sorry dude. If your employer will not approve a vacation or introduce you to an embassy for a visa application. You can draft a letter, but first asked your employer if you should do this as they can denied writing the letter.

Good day,

I am a U.K. Citizen living in nigeria with hubby who is a 9ja citizen. We have visited U.K. Many times on holiday and longer stays.
We want to invite an elderly friend with us on our next holiday. My hubby mother is late, but this lady is like a 2nd mother and he wants to give her a treat when the whole family goes for summer. She has never travelled before she is 62z
He intends to sponsor the whole journey. He gives her monthly upkeep of 100k ever since his mum passed.

Would there be an issue with him sponsoring her on a visitors visa for 3/4weeks during summer and what docs would he need to provide?

Thanks guys

Does your hubby and other family member travelling have valid UK visas? If so then there is no issues as long as your hubby can provide proof the relationship and has sufficient funds to cover the trip. Document required will proof of relationship, applicants proof of employment/retirement/self employed, bank statement etc. You hubby will also supply his bank statement, copy of his passport with valid UK visa/copy of your own UK passport. Your hubby should include a cover note to ECO explaining that he is sponsoring the trip and reason he is traveling with this woman to the UK.

Yes he has several valid visas but is about to renew his 2 year visa. We thought applying with family friend at the same time will aid the application.

Every other person traveling have uk citizenship, I and children. So only hubby and family member need visa.

How do u prove relationship? There's no documentation other than pictures (family gatherings over the years etc)

He has all other evidences bank statements and so on.

Please what is Eco?

The UK does not renew a visa. Every application is treated on its own merit based on the present circumstances of the applicant. The only advantage your hubby has is that he's married to a UK Citizen and both lives outside the UK. Sure your hubby applying together with family friend will aid the application. However, that does not take the fact that all necessary documents need to be submitted to support your hubby and family friend application. You can swear an affidavit at a court to show proof of relationship as a family friend or God mother. Photos of family gathering over the years is good. ECO means entry clearance officer or visa officer who will treat the applications.

Family permit. Your husband is an EU Citizen, thus your application will be treated under European immigration laws. Application fee is free, but you will need to submit documentation to proof the relationship. Family permit is just a permit that allows you to enter the UK to join your husband or accompany him to the UK. The permit is for 6 months. If you plan to settle in the UK, you must apply for a resident permit before the family permit expires. Settlement visa is different very expensive and need to be sponsored.
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by WESTERNCR: 9:49pm On Apr 14, 2017

It does not matter if you can speak English or not. I does not matter if you are working or not. Your application will be considered under European immigration laws. You only need to proof relationship with your husband. In fact a verified marriage certificate is sufficient. However your husband and you may be requests to attend an interview to establish this relationship.

@kkuti

Master card does not support payment through Paga. You can use your Verve Card if you have one to pay through this means, and if you don't have then go to www.mypaga.com to register an account and fund your paga account. After this procedure you can now pay on paga platform through your master card.

Good morning house. I am a silent reader of this forum and I thank everyone for the way God has used you to solve people's problems. Please I have an issue which I need your quick response on. My passport is used to buy PTA in the bank but am not traveling to anywhere at the moment but I want to apply to the UK embassy in Nigeria. When the PTA of $4000 was bought my passport was stamped in the bank that I bought PTA. My question is this. Hope the UK embassy will not ask me question about the PTA stamp from my bank. I mean if they won't refuse my application based on that because I did not travel. Bear in mind that I don't have any visa available on my passport at the moment. Again the account I want to present to the UK is different from the account I used to buy PTA. I am a salary earner earning 220k after tax. Thanks for your time.
