There is no time limit for that, you can move in today, get your bills running so as to use them for the visa application, I guess to get all the bills sorted and get the papers will take about a month then you can apply.

Thanks alot @ ekpotek you are indeed a solutionist. So do u advice i re-apply immediately by providing this information's as listed.

The ECO suspected that you wanted to spend company funds on a vacation without a written permission from all the owners of the company. The ECO also expected that with N15m fund you should have some properties in Nigeria as a strong financial tie. As personal ties, you claimed you have 2 kids, but you did not include their birth certificates. You disclosed that you have travelled to Dubai, but no evidence such as airline boarding pass, UAE visa/entry stamps, receipts of shoppings in Dubai. Lastly the ECO expected that if you're a tourist, you should have included an itinerary of place of interest to visit in the UK. For me the ECO had made your reapplication very easy. I will assume that the ECO is eager for your visit and spend your money . Just address the issues raised and you will get the visa pronto!.

ekpotek:


Also help me with places of interest and location in UK if you have the information. Thanks for your quick response.

Yes, go ahead!

I already have a confirmed 2night hotel booking in Edinburgh. I intend including another hotel booking in Birmingham for 6nights.
My el sis is in UK with hubby who is a British citizen but we will not be using any documents from them hence the hotel booking not far from them. Will this be an issue?

She will be stay8ng for just 7days cos of hotel costs. Proposed travel date Nov 13.

Documents she will use

Hello forumites, just a quick question, is a tubercolosis test required for uk visitor visa. I am applying for my parents to come visit but i am not sure on this. Thanks

Lamakinde:


Tuberculosis test is only meant for visas requiring stay more than six months like settlement, Work, students e.t.c. Not for visitors.

State exactly how much you earn and back it up with your salary account

Hbaba:
Good afternoon good people. Please I filled a family visit visa. After making the payments and printing out, I realized there was a mistake in what I filled for one of the children

Mistake: she is using her 2nd passport but I chose the option that that was her first passport.

I have already made the application payment and ready for submission tomorow.
Please how can I address this issue before tomorow? Do I need to make a new application for her and pay again? Or how do I go about this?

Other sibling applications are correct except for hers. And we need to submit together tomorow

@Ekpotek
@justwise

@brightingus

Thanks in anticipation

I hope u included the birth certificates of all those kids, it's very important as that's a tie the ECO would be interested in. You have to write a cover letter (or amend the one you already have) and explain explicitly to the ECO that you made a genuine error on the online application form for your child (mention the child's name, date of birth and application GWF ref no) and include a copy of your child's first passport alongside other documents. Make bold the explanation to catch the ECO's attention.

Let's look at an example wording...

May I kindly point you to a genuine error in completing the online application form for my daughter, Miss *********. ********, date of birth **/**/19** with application ref GWF******. It was an oversight as it was indicated that she had only one current passport while she had a previous passport. Attached alongside other documents is a copy of her old passport for clarification. May this note indicate that it was a genuine mistake and not a misrepresentation of my daughter's true identity.

If there is a cover letter each for your daughters, then the said daughter must personalise the explanation and use the first person pronoun.

Dear guru's in the house please kindly outline assets I can present apart from landed property that is what is holding my application. Thanks

Brightingsus:


You are not gonna be acquiring assets now. Just include what you already have... landed properties, tenancy agreements in your name with recent payment receipts; even shares and bonds are all ties...

Solatium:




How do you intend to explain your absence from your home country for 18 months as a business owner?

who had been running the business in your absence?

what have you been doing in those places for those periods and what type of visas were you on during those stay?

These are the Questions you WILL HAVE TO ANSWER except you are not planning to use/attach that passport that carries those travel history/immigration stamps
