Hello Justwise,

Please I need your advice. I got an email with an attachment of my refusal letter from the UK although I’m yet to pickup my passport which is ready for collection (that the new method I guess).

On the refusal slip the ECO stated that I submitted a statement with the balance of 442,000 and did not explain the source which is definitely not true because I followed the advice on this thread and submitted a cover letter which explained in details that the said money in my savings are transferred directly from my salary account into my savings account monthly and my bank statement proves this. This is not the only error that was made there was a part where the eco said I said my mother will be providing £2000 which was a lie as the whole cost of my trip was £1,191 and he himself stated this at the beginning of the letter so how can I say someone will be providing £2000, infact in the same letter he stated the correct amount I said someone will be paying towards my trip (£700)

These errors look like carelessness on the Eco’s part so please can I do something about this (report the error) or should I just let it go and not waste anymore money or time. Please I really need your reply.

I do understand your point regarding those mistakes but I don't think that there is anything you can do about it because it will not change the outcome of the application.

If you have 442 in your account and someone is paying £700 toward your trip then that has reduced the strength of your tie to Nigeria.

I didn’t just submit that account. I had all the money required for my trip in both my savings and my salary account but I also stated that I had a sponsor and stated what the sponsor was providing towards but I guess there’s nothing I can do. Thank you.

hor=Success2011 post=75677550]So, I got my passport picked up yesterday in DHL office. I was given 6 months multiple. This is my first application. It was a strictly 100% do-it-yourself process. I got ALL valuable suggestions from Nairaland here. God bless all the gurus and contributors for their time. Kudos!

My destination is Manchester, but the plan is to land in Heathrow Airport then connect a train or bus to Manchester City. How do I go about this? Please experienced travellers who have used same route should advice. Make una assist una compatriot o. God bless una richly one more time.

yes it should be adequate. Good luck with your application!

I would say the area of concern where I have seen people having issues is in proving that your relationship to your partner is genuine. You would need to submit joint account statements, birth certificate of children, screenshots of whatsapp messages, pictures, emails, flight tickets, etc.

@nomad26 we have most things covered except we don't run a joint account and I changed my WhatsApp phone number and deactivated the old line recently, now only have call logs and chat history from this month. We intend to use vacation pics, some of our wedding pics, pics with our child, emails and flight tickets, child's birthday cert. These should do right?

Dear Good people, is this the new method if your visa is refused. When did this start? Just seeing this for the first time.
@Justwise and other gurus

justwise:


No matter the type of visa you are applying for..moving money into the account close to your application date is always a problem because it will appear as if you are 'building' that account just for visa application and when the visa is out you return the money to owners.

Explanations you gave above are perfectly ok

Thanks for this, I guess it won't hurt to put it there. @justwise

please still expecting feedback

So, on my child's application form, there's a section about having relatives in the UK apart from the person you're going to join, the answer is yes, there are uncles and aunties, however, I realised that the options available in the drop bar don't cover for uncles and aunties. Is it okay to just enter it manually and provide the documents to support (certified passport page and brp).
Kindly advice, good afternoon everyone.

What’s the source of the 1.8m? Your other income source should be able to boost your monthly disposable income apart from just your salary (I’m assuming the 195k net income is from only your salary) methinks sha....

Spending as much as your 2 to 2 and 1/2 months disposable income on your trip shouldn’t be so much a bad thing to do. Having a host out there should cut your budget down a whole lot. 250k or even less for ticket is good, another 250-350k as money in your pocket for a week’s trip of this nature isn’t out of order too. What is your other sources of income and what does it averagely amount to either monthly or annually? The questions in the form you are filling should guide and help you in this direction easily.

Thank, the 1.8m is my only source of income which is my salary savings account. However i plan to explain the justification of the 350k budget on my cover letter. Will that suffice? [Qquote author=OmoBendel24 post=75789554]

I need advice from gurus in the house please. Am a civil engineering student in China. I wanna visit my cousins in the UK during the holidays. Do i need to present my personal bank statement since am a student? What are my chances of getting the visa since i will be applying from Beijing China. Thanks

Hello, i saw your message and i assume you tried to contact me because of your issue. Unfortunately the only advice i have is for you to send an email to UKVI or call them and speak to someone about it. Wish you the very best.
