Thanks, guys.

I picked you my passport today with 6 months visa. This was my second application. My first application came back with a refusal letter with the claim that my fix deposit is in doubt and how I accumulated such wealth.

As advised by justice and co, I addressed that section by providing answers to how I got the money although I have an unregistered business which makes up 70% of my fund, I just told them is it a side business and I provided receipts, invoices and legal commission agreement with the company.
( Note: I addressed my denial on the extra section of the application form and cover letter. Also, note that my employer does not pay money into my account. We receive salaries by hand).

Biometric- 1st July
DMC mail- 15nd July
VAC mail - 17th July
DHL pass- 20th July

6 months Visa issued.

Thanks

Congratulations.... Pls did u have any travel history before applying for this visa and more over where did u summit ur application

Menakay:

UK don't need travel history, all u need is to meet their requirements and they ll issue u their visa.

justwise:


They do and it's an added advantage,not that you can't get a visa without one.

Menakay:

I disagree with u on this. If an applicant with virgin passport has a good paying job, family ties and provide all the necessary requirements without travel history, they will issue the visa unlike US and Canada that deny applicant because of travel history even with good paying job and family ties.

Hello guys,

So I want to travel on a tourist visa to the UK, I work and have money paid by my employer into my account every month. My worry is my sister has been paying some money into my account and this is different from my salary from work. Before my father died he owned houses so when he died the houses were taken over by my sister and I and we rented out to tenants. So this is where this money my sister pays comes from, how do I show to the visa officer that this money from my sister comes from rents?

Please note that I only have one sibling and that is my sister so there was no will or anything from my father, we just took over the property after he died so no documents to show we both own the houses except for one land that he already put our names on a long time ago.

arro:
My friend was denied based on nine of his account, and the other one was not mention in the refusal, the account mentioned has just 4000 naira in it while the other side account has more than a million naira, but he choose to use both since the 4000 own is his salary account while the other side account is for side hustle and co.
He got and invitation from his niece, who is working and has her own utility bills sent to him with bank details and co, the vo said his no convinced my friend will come back, this is a guy with army equivalent rank of brigadier general.
Imagine insult.
But anyway advice , what way forward.

Good day house, please I’m a bit confused on certain things regarding the application and need help.
I put £3,500 as spending money in the application and also indicated £3,500 is the money my fiancé is sponsoring me and we’re travelling together.
Question is;
1) Should the £3,500 exclude my hotel booking and money for tourist attraction since I’m travelling with my fiancé who intends to make payment for hotel booking and tourist attraction (in his name)
2) If I’m meant to include the hotel booking and tourist attraction in the spending money, should the bookings be in my name or my fiancé’s name?
3) in the checklist where they have “evidence of family members remaining in home country while you travel “ what kind of evidence will I need to provide?
4) Is it possible to change your hotel address after submitting the form because the initial hotel that was used in the application got sold out by the time I returned to make reservation.

Thanks as I humbly await your response @justwise and co

Hello.
Being reading alot here and I am glad I am learning.
Please I would love to ask.

I intend to do a module of my masters program in UK which I would be spending just 3weeks. I have admission letter and letter from the school addressing the embassy. I have a letter of Introduction from my place of work, my payslip, and employment letter set.

I have an uncle I intend to stay with during my period of stay, he is a citizen and has sent me his statement of account, letter of sponsor and international passport data page.

My question now is; I have just 1million in my personal account, would that be ok for me? As accommodation is already taking care off by my uncle who I would be staying with. This amount was from my savings and mothers contribution.

I have someone who wants to send me 1.5m but I am sceptic as to what explanation I would have to backup such funds in my account.

Please I need a guide on how best to explain or indicate on a narration for such funds or should I let it go?

I also have an aunty in the U.S who wants to send her documents too as a second sponsor. Would that be an added advantage ?

Thanks.
I look forward to reading your feedback.

Hello Gurus in the house. Please does anyone have a rough time frame to hear from the VAC? I got a "UK Visa Application - Application Concluded" last friday the 19th of July. I assumed the passport will be ready for pick up today considering posting might have been done over the weekend. Please can anyone share thier experience about the time lines.
