It doesn't matter ..I build my house in 2014. And I got my job in 2016...and I apply for my UK Visa in January 2020 and j got my visa ..so u are good to go ..just be sincere withur application ...

Sweetypie:
Good morning house, I have been a silent reader all this while. I had been on a 10yrs ban since 2008 due to the usage of an agent, who messed up my application. I decided to try and apply again this year, and luckily I was issued a visa. I submitted on Feb 7 and was surprised when i got a text yesterday Feb 19 and email requesting for collection of my passport with visa on my passport. Although, I have a current renewed 2 years American visa on the passport. I want to give hope to those on ban that you might be lucky. Shalom.

it appears you picked V.I Lagos to do your biometrics. its a user pays location so the 55 pounds is for using the place. this is different from other value added services. Unfortunately, you are unable to change it unless you cancel that application and get a refund- 90 days timeline.

Bro, am facing the same challenge here..same 30th Dec.. Let just hope for something positive dis week..

I applied for visiting visa for a week, I did Biometrics on January 15.
I submitted 2 bank statements Gtbank (Person account) with closing balance of 2.9M and Fcmb (Business account) with closing balance of 900k
But UK denial me

They said I submit a first bank statement of account which I don't even have one

NOTE: An Agent apply for me and he said he submit correct documents

1....I'm just confused, is it possible for UK Embassy to make such mistake.
2.... Hope I doesn't affect my application in the future
3.... What did I need to do now

Oggg:
those people didn’t have no4... and maybe no 4 mattered most in this application

Please can you share your net income and disposable income. And your cost for the trip. Thanks

I have a relative who submited since dec 23, still no response. I will advise you go to TLS to see if it is ready cos I feel those guys might forget to update the site or send the email. I told my relative the same and he will go to TLS office either this week or next.

Sweetypie:


I did not write any apology letter, i only addressed it on my cover letter, stating the reason why i was placed on ban and explained that it was due to my ignorance at the time.. The other documents i used are';

1. Invitation letter from my Step brother in uk with his utility, pay slips, mortgage docs and council tax, Bank statement
2. My employment letters, including leave letter
3. Letter of Sponsorship from my office stating the reason why the company was co-sponsoring
4. Company's Bank statement
5. My personal bank statement for 3 months (current & savings) with bank reference letter
6. my Payslips for 3 months
7. photocopy of exit and entry stamps to usa, kenya and dubai and a copy of my recent (renewal) usa visa
8. Wedding Certificate and Birth Certificate of my kids
9. Pension Certificate

dilodavid:
How many months was the company bank statement you submitted? What was the opening and closing balances on your personal bank statement of 3 months?

dilodavid:
The yankee visa on the passport might have played a huge role. Can 3 months bank statement be accepted for someone with no travel history?

Hey guys.. been a passive reader here.. I have a uncle in the UK that's willing to sponsor me over.. he asked that a scan my passport l, I did and sent to him.

He used an agent for everything and I had no clue at all. Was just sent my appointment booking slip which I used for my biometrics about three weeks ago..

At TLS, This agent denied me access to the documents I'd be taking inside till the very minute I was ready to go in.. was surprised to see almost all documents falsified in my name.. bank statement, school receipt, etc..

my uncle was sponsoring me over as a son, I didn't know this as well. When I saw this on the documents I had some concerns because we do not even bear same surname.. I felt this could be an issue.

Well, I picked up my application response this morning and It was a denial ..on the ground that there's no evidence to show that my sponsor is really my dad..

And ofcos it's stated there that I have no reason to appeal..

Just want to seek advice in what to do from here??

Did your relative pay for SMS service because it could be the reason they were not contacted. You can as well track the application
