I had over 5m in my account, my hotel reservation, I don’t know if i will call it hold cos i was charged one night out of the 10 nights I booked, which will be refunded if I cancel a day before my arrival.
Thanks so much and did you use your debit card to book the hotel?

thank you for reponse, they said 28 days, i recieved the mail for collection on 26th october, said passport can only be held for 28 days, is it 28 working days..?, exclusive of weekends ?, if so i can make it. please advice
I don’t have knowledge of this but I advise that you contact TLS via email or telephone for further clarity.

I applied for a Standard Visitor Visa on 16th September, received my refusal letter on 22nd October and 26th October a collection mail

Please I need clarification on serious, the tls centre can hold the passport for only 28 days, what will happen if you go weeks after the 28 days, will you loose it.

Please advise i am worried now, because I cannot make up to that 28 days period to come and take your passport.

Please advise. Anyone with similar issues.
If you fail to pick up your passport within the stipulated time it will be transferred to Nigeria immigration service office in Alagbon Ikoyi where you will pay to get it back with long and strenuous procedure.

Cutiella:
Hi Rebless,

I uploaded the below;

Introduction from my work place, confirmation letter, leave approval, 6 months pay slip, 6 months salary statement, 6 months savings account statement and my piggyvest statement.

Balance in all accounts summed up to abt N1.5million. I belong to a thrift/cooperative where i make contributions monthly, so i got a letter from them stating my total contributions year to date (got the idea somewhere on this thread). I also attached the contract of a running investment. All of these debits (investment and cooperative) can be seen in my Savings account statement, which i listed and explained in my cover letter.

I transferred my savings from my piggybank to my savings account (because i read on this thread that someone's visa was refused for financial reasons, even though she had enough funds in her piggyvest account, of which she attached the statement). I felt it was going to stick out as unexplained deposit, that was why i attached my piggybank statement, then i explained in my cover letter that i moved the funds so as to access it once visa was approved.

I also attached my sponsors One Month Bank statement, proof of address, BRP, introduction letter explaining our relationship and University registration letter as he is a student.

Would be happy to provide further clarifications to any more enquiry


Thanks @cutiella although the purpose of my message is to help everyone learn from those already successful with their applications. But everyone learns anyway so thank you and God bless your journey.

Congratulations to those who recently got their visas , this thread is really helpful and informative for the novice and the informed alike however I notice people are not really sharing the documents submitted to get visas it’s kind of going discreet sort of. I will urgent people like musty,cutiella, mzyetty et al to share their documents or something unique or whatever that’s related to their applications so that members can tap one or two things and adapt it to their own applications?

Dear gurus in the house,

*I plan to travel with my wife and 2-year old daughter this December for a 10-day holiday.

*I'm about to fill the UK standard visitor visa form.

*I've a full time job and I receive over 600k as monthly net salary.

*I also own a registered business that gives me over 800k monthly.

*Most of my customers pay into my salary account; Infact, I recently received a lump sum of about 8m from one of them. My tenants also pay into my salary account.

* Closing balance from this salary account is presently well over 20m.

*Pls guys, I need ur help...Will the fact that I allow my customers pay into my salary acct lead to a possible denial?

Pls I need your help....

p....
I think undocumented deposits into accounts are applied to the minimum income earners as standard by the ECOS to avoid fund packing but when your income level reached a certain standard as yours they then tend to look at your application at a bigger picture.

So with your stated income figures above I think you are very good to go. But it also depends on how long the balance sits in your account during and over the 6 months period.

My opinion.

Hello everyone,

Would someone please be kind enough to help clarify..

I just filled the visa application, I was asked if someone else is travelling with me which I answered yes, after the whole process, it went straight to payment portal, here is the question, wont I fill different form entirely for my dependants? Before payment.

Thank you.
Yes you will but everyone’s application is unique so you pay for each applicant separately.

Please I’m asking for a brother, if one is travelling as a family, should the sponsor- eg the father adds all the expenses of the family to his own Vaf proposed expenditure or he should simply state his own personal estimated expenses. �
