sweetrie: Business visa, General visa, family visa, etc are all classed under standard visitor visa. |

ekpotek:He will. Thank you very much |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by Diti94(f): 4:24pm On Jun 23, 2018 |
justwise: Thank you for your reply but my mum does not send me money and i did not mention her at any point. I only filled her details and my dad's under parents' details. I presented my bank statements highlighting all monies in my account from brother every month and school fees paid by him. To be honest, maybe the ECO was on something because clearly he or she did not look at my application at all. |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by justwise(m): 4:38pm On Jun 23, 2018 |
Diti94: Did you upload the refusal letter here before? |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by opomulero(m): 4:43pm On Jun 23, 2018 |
I noticed somethings here about people that were refused, i think we should stop presenting two or more statement of accounts, its like its confusing the ECO and they will start looking at a point were you once have a very low balance to make a decision. Just thinking aloud |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by Diti94(f): 4:55pm On Jun 23, 2018 |
justwise:yes sir. I did

Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by ekpotek: 4:58pm On Jun 23, 2018 |
edmasta01: Sorry for this refusal. My take is that why did you say that your mother is unemployed? Secondly your budget for her visit was expectionaly high. She only requires return fight ticket +100£ for any travel incidence. What ever you spend on her during her visit is non of anyone business. You can re apply and only present your saving account. Or move money to your current account and explain in a cover letter that ECO did not take into account your savings which is sufficient to support your mother visit. |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by edmasta01: 5:19pm On Jun 23, 2018 |
ekpotek: Thanks very much ekpotek. I mentioned that she is unemployed because she is a housewife. She does not have a job. Or am i wrong to think that being a housewife is considered a "job"? The only source of income she gets is what I send to her account directly every month (same with dad). My dad is in his 70's and closed down his business too without any source of income. Kindly advise. How do I address the budget in the new application? Should i create a new budget stating only that I am paying for her travel expense? ANy chance you can help with examples of how to deal with this please? I am happy to present my savings account alone. But won't the ECO want o see proof of my earnings? hence why I include the current account in the first place? Thanks for your help on this. |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by edmasta01: 5:25pm On Jun 23, 2018 |
justwise: Me putting miscellanous of up to £500 was to coer for any expenses that was unforseen. What would be a better budget? Kindly do help give guidance on how to write an acceptable budget please. Yes I submitted a bank statement (savings & current) up till April 2018. Application was done in May. |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by ekpotek: 6:42pm On Jun 23, 2018 |
Diti94: What was the reasons for your first refusal 6 month ago and was the issues addressed in your second application? |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by ekpotek: 7:16pm On Jun 23, 2018 |
opomulero: Wife unemployed. ECO will see this as immigration intent. Do you and your wife have A grade travel history? |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by ekpotek: 7:18pm On Jun 23, 2018 |

Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by ekpotek: 7:26pm On Jun 23, 2018 |
churockng: I will suggest you leave out your hubby for now. Apply with you son and see how it goes. You have enough fund to take the vacation. |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by ekpotek: 7:40pm On Jun 23, 2018 |
kemitomi: 1. He will apply for a Dependant visa. Yes his account statement will be need if you’re applying together unless your scholarship also cover family up keep of your husband and son 2,3. Not necessary as long as you have civil marriage certificate to proof the relationship. 4. Depend on his qualification and job availability. It could immediate or may take longer. There are always unskilled job to do in the UK 5. Check UK house renting site for that information. |

ekpotek: Husband ..dubai...ghana ...turkey Wife..ghana....turkey |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by ekpotek: 7:49pm On Jun 23, 2018 |
opomulero: Sorry, your wife unemployed status is likely to affect you if applied together. Ghana and turkey are not grade A countries. However, you can try. Can you list the documents you intend to submit for scrutiny? |

edmasta01: Unemployment is only acceptable if your mother is looking for work. Home making/housewife is preferably if she is an elderly person. What was her status in her previous application in 2011? Just explain in your cover letter why your mother is unemployed. You budget line should only be for her flight ticket and perhaps £100 for incidentals. Accommodation and feeding is free. She coming there to see her grandson, so all those expense like shopping, etc should be eliminated. Move money to you current account and re submit both current and saving accounts and explain to ECO to show you have access you saving account, you have moved £2000 to your current account. Then you can also credit your mum account with flight ticket money and £100 pocket money. Again move the fund from your savings and explain to the ECO that you doing this so that you have access to this account and she can buy her ticket from Nigeria. The ECO want so see that you have access to your saving account, so show it. 1 Like |

ekpotek:Good evening sir 1. They said I had only began my studies and planned to visit the UK for a month. It was the end of my first semester. 2. They stated my confirmation letter from school was not in English but I attached a legalized official English translation that was overlooked by the ECO. I am doing a two-year masters program and I am done with my first year already. Could not reapply then because my holidays were almost over when the refusal came. Thanks |

Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by ekpotek: 8:45pm On Jun 23, 2018 |
Diti94: If you still plan to have your vacation reapply ASAP. Address the initial refusal, by stating: 1. You have by now spent a year session in your studies affirming that you are bonafide student in XXXX university undertaking xxxx programme which you also supported with xxxx documents in your last application. 2. That the ECO did not see your legalized translation of your confirmation letter, which you have added again to this application. I suggest you mark boldly on the translated and original confirmation letter for the ECO to know. Review your school admission documents to see if there is anyway you have indicated your mum as as a sponsor for your master studies. The ECO may have access to information about you that you are not aware from your previous UK application. If your mum was sending you money provide document to support this. If not then also provide document to counter the statement of the ECO (sponsorship document) |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by opomulero(m): 8:58pm On Jun 23, 2018 |
opomulero: Those are the list @ekpotek |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by ekpotek: 9:11pm On Jun 23, 2018 |
opomulero: Account Closing balance? Any fund lodgement that is twice your salary in the last 6 months. What is the reason for the trip? How long has your wife being unemployed? Both your chances is largely dependent your work history, and integrity to return back with your wife after the trip. How you will convince the ECO is a matter of conjecture. So start drafting a convincing cover letter, focus on your working history in Nigeria, marriage and family life. Clearly enumerate your intention and reasons to take your wife to Bleep holiday in the UK. Discussed why she is unemployed, or you prefer her not work as you are capable of taking care of her need. Finally show that your position in your work place cannot allow you to overstay and you would be returning back with your wife. Clearly you need more documents eg marriage certificate, promotion letters, work contract and pay, 6 month pay slips, leave letter, birth certificate etc. Any information you put in the application form must be supported with evidence. |

ekpotek: Very helpful. Thank you |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by Diti94(f): 9:16pm On Jun 23, 2018 |
ekpotek:Thank you so much! I'll reapply this coming week. Blessings! Please, final question- all the documents I submitted were originals, I guess I'd have to reapply with originals? Because I made copies for keeps. |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by opomulero(m): 9:35pm On Jun 23, 2018 |
Excellent. Thank you. I pm u kindly reply. Can i have ur contact pls ekpotek: |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by ekpotek: 9:40pm On Jun 23, 2018 |
Diti94: I am not familiar with application document submission in your Bleep country. In Nigeria all documents weather original or photocopied are scan to UKVI and returned to applicant on spot. |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by KirikiriStar: 10:14pm On Jun 23, 2018 |
Been unemployed doesn't matter on the eco decision. I for Instance wrote unemployed in my application form, though I work in hubby's company and he pays me monthly, I didn't have a salary account. What I did was to explain in my cover note that I also work in our family business and carry out some duties atimes to the best of my ability . I got my 6month visa with my 3 children recently , though hubby has 2years UK visa already. I also have 2years US renewed visa. Wife unemployed. ECO will see this as immigration intent. Do you and your wife have A grade travel history? [/quote] |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by edmasta01: 11:08pm On Jun 23, 2018 |
ekpotek: Thinking about this now, I think I stated that she was a hosue wife back in 2011 when we applied. At the time, the form was self explanatory. I guess where I misunderstood the form while filling out on her behalf was the online form asked if she is either employed or unemployed and I naturally picked unemployed. I guess I should have selected "Other" and type in Housewife/home making in it. When re-applying, I will explain the above in my cover letter. Thank you for this. I will do everything you suggested and re-apply. God bless you real good and many thanks to Endlessgrace and Justwise and everyone else who made contribution. |
