Hello my peeps.
Respect to all the gurus in the house.

I am in the process of applying for 6 month uk visit visa and the application process seem too complicated unlike US visa which i did myself.

My questions:

1. is it possible for me to do UK visa application by myself without a visa agent?

2. I have completed the online form...stuck on payment. i have GTbank naira master card, can i pay with it and how much with their charges.

3. I have been on my cover letter for almost 2 weeks now, seems one needs a pro to handle it. pls i need a guru in the house that can help with this for a fee

ekpotek:

1. That’s good financial ties
2. Yes do that
3. You do not need to complicate your application by bringing in side business that you will find difficult to explain. Your income level and closing balance in your salary is good enough. Just explain irregular deposit in your salary account. Your unused USA visa has nothing to do with your application. So there is no need to offer an explanation.

Yes's, very very possible to apply without an agent.. I did mine myself. First timer ND I got it...Go through this thread from beginning ND it's get all d info you need.. Trust me..

As for the cover letter check from 400+ to 440 not sure though ND you will see a format for cover letter. That's what I used for mine.

Good day everyone
I'm planning to apply for my husband, mum and son as dependants around December or January in preparation for my delivery. I got to UK in Sept on a tier 2 visa and currently staying in a shared apartment. I'm planning to move to a flat or house. Should I go for a 2-bedroom apartment or 3-bedroom. I'm a total novice in this application of a thing, please any help you can render will be highly appreciated. I'm looking at using an Immigration solicitor though but the charge of £500 per applicant no be here.
Thank you in anticipation of your timely responses

@ekpotek I have a challenge, I applied for standard tourist visa. I did biometrics at TLS Ikeja since October 2nd yet no response from UKVI though I got a mail of applications receipt on 4th working day. I called UKVI twice on the 14th and 17th working days yet I was told no decision has been made. I asked them to escalate it when I last called on the 17th working day but the truth is that I'm bothered. It is over 18 working days yet no response from them and most people that apply around this time get response within 15 days.
What can I do to hasten up response as my time line for travelling is fast approaching?
Is the delay in response usually a positive sign or what?
Is anybody here with similar delay within this time frame?

stefanimay:


You don't need any agent. Just be truthful.

Thanks

I have travel history to SA, over 5times in the last two years. My take home is 570k monthly. Because of an ongoing project, my account has always been on 0 before now but since September , I have been leaving 250k from my salary untouched so by Jan I should have 1.25m. Will the four month account statement surface for me? or must it be 6months.?. please check below my proposed frugal expenditure
1. Return ticket 250k. (£537)
2. Hostel for 6 Days@£28 (£168)

This is just about my one month salary. Do you guys in all honesty think that this will fly?

kokoli:



Congrats. please how much was the closing balance on your account when you made the application? what was your budget breakdown like?

sgtponzihater1:


Get a letter of invite for the course, and make sure its an accredited course.

Then make sure u have enuf funds, both with a bank cover letter and bank statement

A proof of ties back home, like family pictures, marriage certificate or a job is important,

and ensure a good cover letter, also explaining your finances, especially if there are some suspicious deposits or withdrawals in ur account.

U'll definitely be granted. Get a letter of leave from ur work place during the period and add a proof of actually having a job back home, and a letter of approval of the course from ur employer.

Hope this helps Chibabe4Christ!

ekpotek:


You can only know if you apply. Regardless of of the course is also offered in Nigeria, if you’re qualified you will be given the visa.
