PrechyJoe:
Good evening everyone.

So my passport came out today, and yes I was issued a visa, I posted the other day that my Mother and Younger sister also got.

I would list the documents I submitted,

I am a student, and I couldn't even get an introduction letter from my school, so I submitted

1. School ID
2. Payment receipt since I entered school
3. My school results.

I wrote a cover letter to explain that I wasn't able to get an introduction letter and that my exams were starting by August, I also gave them details to my school portal (username and password) for further enquiries.

My Father is my sponsor, for that I submitted
1. A letter he wrote introducting me and saying he would sponsor my trip(plus mum and younger sister)
2. My birth Certificate
3. Dad's land CofO
4. Dad's account statement of almost 5Million.

Our budget for the trip was about 1775pounds each person, I also booked my flight ticket before my Biometrics and submitted it.

Reason for the trip Is for my Sisters convocation, so I submitted her

1. BRP
2. Passport Data page
3. Her invite letter
4. Schools convocation letter
5. Her account statement.
6. 6months payslip

That's it for now.

After submitting I backed it up with prayers.. LoL..

I am so grateful it worked out.

Thank you so much, everyone that answered my question and everyone hat helped one way or the other.

This means a lot to me.

And my Passport is even a Virgin passport.. I have never left this country before.

I was supposed to travel today, but I just got my passport and had to shift my trip.

Thank you!!

Hello opomulero,

this budget is not realistic...

For example,
average cheapest flight cost btw 450 - 650 pounds per person (emirates/qatar), totalling 900 - 1300
accommodation ...500 - 800 pounds
maintenance... 500 -600 pounds

based on above ..estimated cost 1,900 - 2,700 pounds..
when planning, you need to add extra 500 - 1,000 pounds..

so 3,000 - 3,500 would be a more acceptable estimate.

hope this helps.. my two cents smiley

or Can i appeal?

Please Can you advice me?

Or can i get ur email address. perhaps we could communicate...

Thank you.



Please lets not start this here as it will kill the purpose of this thread.

@justwise @ekpotek @vicjustice I must first thank you guys for my visa success, you guys hand a big hand in it. I want to ask bosses, its my first time and I'm a novice, my application states I'm spending 2weeks, if I stay 3weeks or a month is that bad? Or I should not stay more than 3weeks?


They gave you the visa in a good faith so don't let them down and ultimately deny yourself next visa application.

This is your first time and hopefully if things works out you will be applying for more important visa in future, so don't ruin it for yourself.

I've never submitted pay slips cos my office doesn't issue them. I use my salary bank statement which has my office name and salary. I just highlight each payment with a pen to draw the ECO's attention to it.

Optimistic001:
Good evening, please someone should answer me. Please it is urgent. Let me explain how it is:

My sponsor has a low opening account balance, now his balance is about 5m from 4 months back. He has transferred 1m to me which will be highlighted in his statement and also explained in his letter of sponsorship to show easy accessibility to funds by me for the trip. Does he have to explain his inflow of money too? Please this is my first time and I don't want to make a costly mistake.

Please I don't know how to go about it so that they won't say he is doing money lodgement.

I hope someone understands my question and can put me through.

Your sponsor does not need to explain any inflow or outflow. All that is needed is that there is sufficient fund in your sponsor account to cover the trip. However, you will need to explain any suspicious inflow into you own account, including the transfer from your sponsor.
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by Nobody: 7:16pm On Jun 26, 2018
God bless you. Thank you so much. I will put attach a cover letter explaining that he transferred the funds to me for the purpose of my trip. He would also state it like that in his letter too. Thanks a lot.

Some hostels close to Marble Arch /Euston in London do charge about £200 per week with Breakfast & Dinner inclusive. You can do your shoppings in some cheap stores in Oxford Street but don't do mistake to enter Selfridges
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by Aquaman84: 7:07am On Jun 27, 2018
Thanks justwise, I'm so excited! not going to England but visiting my girlfriend. I don't know you personally but I feel you had a big role in helping me get my visa, including ekpotek and vicjustice. I'm gonna propose to her at her family home, and hopefully she says yes lol. This is someone I've been with over a year through thick and thin she's been there, just know you didn't just assist with my visa but you assisted in making me the happiest man in the world. Nairalanders may all your dreams come true. Amen

£2,500 is almost not bad for two (but not as budgeted by you, vital part missing methinks), maybe £200-300 more should suffice. Take note that they will not varnish into the UK from where they are, they have to fly in and that will cost some money, as much as two fifth this budget most likely....
