Hello House,

I would need someone's help regarding an issue on my application. I panned to attend a conference in the UK sometime in October, I had the formed filled, paid the visa fee and chose a date of appointment but due to an unforseen circumstance, I would not be able to meet up with the date. Few days to the appointment date, I canceled the appointment and requested for refund of the visa fee. I received an automated email saying that I will be receiving the refund in 28days. I further sent a mail but didn't get any response. The bottom line is that I got an opportunity to attend another conference coming up in Feb so would love to reschedule my appointment. I want to ask if there is any number I could call or a designated email address to channel my request.
Thank you

1. No
2. No
3. The UK share immigration data with most A list countries like US, EU, Canada etc. Be honest and declare any past refusal.
4. You are fine without tax slip so far tax deduction is reflected in your pay slip.
5. Yes, but you willl need to photocopy (colour) unto A4 size paper and submit. In fact all documents must be in A4 size dimensions.

Hello. Quick question please. For UK visit visa, does it matter if the bank statements provided are double-sided? I mentioned to my bank that it was for visa purposes and therefore I would rather it be printed single-sided but they said this was acceptable as well. I just don't want any issues as the staff at these visa centres have quite the attitude.

It must be single-sided. The team at VAC use a high speed scanner to scan all documents at once so it will be impossible to do that with double-sided bank statements. You pay for each page so your bank should be able to honor your request. It is your money

Double-sided is okay for embassies that collects original documents. UK VAC centers scan your documents (A4 size) using high speed scanner to UKVI directly and return back your documents. This is done once for each applicant. As such this is only possible with a single-side document.

Are you saying there won't be any refund of the previously paid visa fee?

Kukaman:

No. You will get a refund if you have canceled a submitted visa application before biometric. However you cannnot use the canceled application form again, because each application form has a unique GWF number. You just have to wait for the refund as adviced, if you do not have the fund to pay for a new application immediately.

Hello House, i need urgent response before paying for my ticket. I was in uk last yr on a six months visa. During application i stated that am staying for just 7 days which was what i did and came back. I reapplied for renewal around november which two yrs visa was granted. During application i stated am staying for ten days. But i did not go and have not gone till now. I am planing to go in next few days but planing to stay for six weeks or more. I want to ask would it affect me at point of entry? Would it also affect my reapplying in future application? What do i do pls advise me.

If you have reasonable need to stay in the UK for up to 6 weeks, declare same on your landing card and defend it at POE. That’s the way to go. Not traveling as initially plan is no big deal. All the best.

Thank you for the time taken to explain. And yes step 3 is so unfair given that this wasn't explained properly. My concern now is that I am now on maternity leave, I hope that when I reapply after 6months, they don't complain that my pay is now reduced and I cannot support her as my pay slip will only show maternity pay. I will still however include my husband's pay slip and my savings.

They wont explain step 3 properly. Trust me, I was emotional about it, but sucked it up. Maternity does not affect the application. Ass long as you can prove that you have funds for the trip. Husband savings/payslips will count. Just make sure he writes a letter stating that he is happy to fund the trip.

Can I get a police Character Certificate (PCC) in Abuja?
If yes how do I go about it
Thanks!!

Pal your post is in the wrong thread. Try the crime thread

hello ekpotek, justwise

I plan to apply for a tourist visa for myself and my wife in December and we plan to spend 7 days

Budget:

Tickets: 1589 GBP
Hotel: 445 GBP
Transport/Feeding/sight seeing: 275 GBP
MISC: 211 GBP

Total: 2520 GBP

I will be sponsoring the trip and I earn 870k a month after taxes. Due to a building project I am presently undertaking, I usually move everything in my salary account to some other of my accounts leaving an almost zero balance (this has been the case the past 5 months).

Presently I have 600k in a savings account which was credited directly from my salary account. We plan on making the application end of October by which time I will have a closing balance of 1.4million from my savings & salary accounts. My salary account only has credit entries from salary paid and the savings account only has credit entries from my salary account.

We have 3 kids but we will not be travelling with them, I also have a landed property in Kogi.

My monthly expenditure is 150k and my wife doesn't work.

What are our chances?

Really?
I read it somewhere on this thread that if you wouldn't mind doing a security Job in the UK you should get a PCC from Naija. Reason I asked for how to get it.
Or did I miss it?

Do your wife and you have a history of traveling together outside Nigeria. Why do you want to leave your 3 kids behind? Who would take care of them in your absence?

No travel history, the kids will be holidaying with their grand parents.

Okay. Your financial are good. The only challenge is that both of you have never travel together before outside Nigeria and your wife does not work. You will need to come up with a good reason for the trip and why the UK as a destination. I wish you the best in your application.

Thanks for your response.

My financial is good? even with the fact I have been leaving low balances in my salary account? GREAT!

We never did go for our honeymoon, that not a fair enough reason?

So far you will submit both your salary and saving accouts which shows inlow and outflow between the two accounts, you will not have a problem as there will sufficient money to cover the trips plus extra left at the time of submission. Also your monthly pays of N800K plus is a sound financial ties to Nigeria. Like I said you need to convince the ECO on your intentions why they should give you a visa. A honeymoon trip is a probable reason.

Good evening.

Please, I got my refusal today and i am so depressed with the reasons for refusal. I would appeal if everyone with experience can see the refusal and candid opinion.
Thanks.

hello house, please i need your advice.i applied for uk visa in 2008 with a different passport, (name
, date of birth)i was young and naive. i applied early with my original passport and was refused in 2004(i was still a student) due to lack of fund so my agent then told me he can package me with a different passport and i would get it, so i agreed, that was when they started the biometric thing at the uk embassy. so the passport i use was the one that didn't have my true records and false documentation too.i was denied in 2008, and in 2010 i decided to try again with my original passport and original documents, of course I was denied and warned that i could even be banned for 10 years for false documentation, since 2010 till date i have built my travel history and travelled to over 10 countries ( usa, schengen, brazil, china,thailand etc) i actually love traveling.i don't know if to give the uk a try again explaining i was young and naive, get a lawyer to help out or should just forget about going there.

please i want honest opinions
thanks

Thats old tactics , it doesnt work for the UK embassy no more, Dont move money for the next 4 months and prove you can save atleast 600k each month from your salary. which will accumulate to like 2.5mil or more . betterstill finish ur project first and safe money ...

Hello all,

I am applying for a standard visitor visa (6 months)

I have just £800 (budg 3k) im my a/c but my dad will be sponsoring my visit so I'll be using his statement.

He did not have up to 1 million in his personal a/c but broke his fixed deposit of 5 million and had the money sent to his a/c.

1. Will this be seen as lodgement?
2. Does he have to write a cover letter explaining this?
3. Am I to make a copy of all pages of the previous passport with visas or just the visa stamps?
4. Also, I want to use priority service. Are there any downsides to this?

Thanks in advance for your comments

(Background: I previously applied for 6mths (not nigeria) and was given. I was in the UK early this year (7 days). Also I have a good travel history. I am a foreign stdt - not working)

Thank you but I think I will go with the advise of ekpotek. I am not lodging money anywhere, both accounts are mine which are all traceable to salary.
