Writing a letter isn’t a problem but what you wanna tell ECO about your 15months stay its what is important, people only give legal advice here. You just have to be smart for yourself.

Well you didn’t breach the immigration law so you should be alright.

TBH I don’t think they do ask how long you stayed in previous travel, think the form only asks you how long you wanna stay for the proposed travel. What matters is you are back and you didn’t overstayed.

Not your first time application, you should know the docs you need to submit. Good luck

WRONG

They do ask the question how long you stayed in each trip on the application form. Check the application form u will see it. If you go to the drop box they stated it days, weekly, monthly and yearly.

It's not really about your sponsor, it is mainly your tie to nija... Do your own research, make a list of what tie you, what are the things that will convince the ECO that you will return.

All the best.

Hi everyone
Please i need your advice and what am going to do to be able to grant another two years uk visa. Have been two years visa which expired April 2019. During my visit I stayed up to five months on each trip to UK which I traveled for three time during my last two years visa. Now am intend to apply for another two years visa but the problem is that i stayed up to 5 months on my each trip. Please what can do or document to prepare for to be able to grant another visa. Have taken two years visa twice. Please kindly help with any usef

My advice since u are frequent visitor in the UK why not save money and apply for five or ten years to safe you time and gathering documents. ( I know it is expensive but it is the best u can do for your self)

Just apply for your visa and be honest in the duration of time u spent in the UK. Since you did not break immigration rules for overstaying more than 180 days in each visit. What u have is two years multiple visa and it is also meant for frequent travelers. They are different circumstances that can make one to stay five months in the UK. I believe that ECO will not deny you visa if u are honest in y application and give geniue reasons for frequent trips. Expect if ECO sees that through y frequent visit, that you are trying to make UK your second home that is where he can make objection.

My second advice, give your self some time before you apply again. If you don't have a job look for one, through a job u can get documents to make another application.

Getting a visa is always feasible if you make your case - through your application
About what you need, your sponsor will need to provide proof of sponsorship (one that is enough to convince the ECO that you will return to Nigeria). This can include a letter of sponsorship, their identification, proof of status in the UK, proof of fund, etc.

People do not respond to all questions because some questions are similar to ones asked previously by other users. Soemtimes you just need to read through the thread and you'd find your answer.

I hope this helps.

Dude this is an abuse of visit visa terms and conditions. The fact that you did not overstay is irrelevant as you had specify in your visa application how long you intended to stay. Staying up to 5 months on each of your visit is not acceptable. It will be difficult for you to get another visit visa, unless you can proof that the reasons for staying that long was medical related. Making a misrepresentation will not help you as your entry and exit from the UK is in UKVI database. If you apply again your application will be flagged and your 15 months stay in the UK will be investigated. My advise is stay away from the UK for at least 2 years, so UKVI does not assume you are living illegally in the UK.

Hey guys, please I need help. I have a professional exam I want to take in Uk so I need to apply for a Visa. But the challenge is this, my husband wants to go with me(with our 7months old daughter) and he wants us to apply for a visit visa as a family, so that when we get there I can take the exam and we return in a week or 2(which means I may not have to mention that I need the Visa so I can take an exam). in as much as I would love to go with them, but I'm worried about being denied visa. So please can someone help me with requirements

Your success in getting the visa will depend on a lot of things, if you can convince the ECO that your family will return after the visit. Do you and your husband have travel history to A list countries? Have you travel outside the country together. Who will finance the trip etc. Even applying for a visit visa to go and write an exams is not guaranteed. My take is apply to go and take your exams. If successful you can use that leverage to apply for your baby and then your husband in future.

your mind has already told you they will reject your visa application if you apply as a family...why are you still considering doing the contrary....
anyway, suite yourself or your husband..

1. If you have family members in the UK that need your assistance. My cousin sister had a five years UK visiting visa and her younger sister who is British gave birth to twins Dec 2017, their mother is late, so she decided to use her five years visa and stayed for five months last year 2018, from Jan - May to assist her sister because she delivered 2ru operation. This year March she left again to UK and just returned last month July to Nigeria. She said at the POE when she was asked how long she spent the last time, she said five months, she explained to them the reason and when she tried to show the immigration officer the proof of pictures and details of her sister, the immigration officer just wave it off and asked how long she will be staying and she said five months and she allowed her entry.

2. If ones partner lives in the UK . I had a colleague that went on secondment and the wife visited him and stayed for five months on each visits.

3. Medical Treatment : - Ones medical treatment might extend for six months based on doctors report.

It doesn't just end at submitting the " Pre Action Protocol " Letter. I have seen people win these claims and the home office was responsible for their legal fees cos the loser pays the winner's fees but if you believe it's non existent then its fine.

Apart from medical treatment which should be one of excuse per person the rest are abuse of your visa especially when you work, run business in Nigeria.

Your cousin sister stayed 5 months looking after her sister then after a while she returned again to stay another 5 months looking after the same person?

Dude your cousin sister will definitely have al lot of explanation when she attempts to get a new UK visit visa. Despite the fact that she was allowed into the UK, she will need to convince the ECO when she apply again, what she does in Nigeria that permit her to stay away for 150 days.

Ogas,
i applied Vistor Visa on 15th July and
received "concluded" email on 29th July,
now it pass 3weeks and there is no update from UKVI/TLS.
i have even called them , sent them e-mail and they escalated my application on 7th August. this week also i called them and they said you will be contacted by TLS very soon.
i have opted for "Keep My Passport" service.

please advise ogas, because 3weeks after the decision made is very much unusual.
