It should be quite straightforward. If you have your COS assigned, on page 2 of your COS, you'll see the portion that says - is your job on the current immigration salary list. Y or N would be selected - implying Yes or No See ref image below. kumbhuru:

Most likely an issues with the website. Error 500 is an issue from the server side. Not anything you can fix from your end, other than to wait it out...Try again at night. Or you can clear your cache and try again, or better still try with another browser. BruceXavier: |

You both have a good travel history and nice profiles - the 10 years Canadian visa is a good one in a passport. Frankly, in my opinion, you don't need a letter of invitation. You can decide to go to UK without anyone inviting you, more so even when you've built a travel record (past travels and current visas). In your cover letter mention you want to go on holiday - sight see, relax etc. Put up an itinerary of places you wanna visit and things you wanna do in those 10 days. In your form they'd ask if you have a relative in the UK- put you have a sister . They'd ask -Are you planning to stay with her? i would advice you put no (you already said you want to book accom anyways). Like you, I also have relatives in UK; but for the sake of the visa form, i don't say I'm staying with anyone - to make my visa processing as simple as possible. For accommodation, i use www.booking.com to book a hotel (i get one with free cancellation. Look out for the big name hotels: Marriot, Ibis, IHG etc. they usually offer free cancellation). In my opinion, You don't need to mention anything about visiting your sister. The visa form doesn't ask who you're visiting. It only asks if you have relatives, and if you will be staying with them. Keep it simple and stick with you're going on holiday (as you said already, visiting your sis is not the primary reason). You don't need an agent, except you wan dash person money. I've been travelling to the UK since i was a kid, my parents worked on our visa applications back then - no agent required. When i became an adult - i worked on mine by myself - both student visa application and visiting applications. I didn't need to use an agent. My point is - You can do it yourself. Just ensure you've read the guidelines well, to be sure you've checked all the required boxes and added the right supporting docs. You and hubby ain't new to visa applications, so you'd be fine. You both stand high chances of receiving a visa based off your past travel history and the current Canadian visa in you passport. As to where to start from, here's the link that takes you to the application form and the guidelines https://www.gov.uk/standard-visitor/apply-standard-visitor-visa. Read to the end so you can get to the part where it mentions supporting docs and info you'll need. Also attach copies of past visas and current visa obtained to show travel record. All the best!

You're welcome. Why the need for 4 sponsors though if I might ask? Technically there's no limit to the number of sponsors that can be used. But you also dont want to overcomplicate the process. I had previously advised someone who posted from Nigeria saying her mum and dad wanted to sponsor her that she should only stick to one sponsor (I had a bit of bias as to your case when you said all 4 of you siblings were in the UK). Any 2 of you whose accounts are the most buoyant with enough funds to show support? snowphunmee: |

The immigration officials usually query large sums been transferred to a persons account. Even with cover letter, and explanations people have given, they still bounce them. I've read a few of those accounts here. Maybe an oversight from the immigration officers path. My advice - all 4 of you submit your bank statements, Let your mum put a cover letter mentioning she is coming for holiday to see her 4 children who are her sponsors and they would be responsible for her upkeep and all other travel arrangements. She should even include the itinerary of how long she plans to stay with each child. Example 2 weeks with lagbaja, 3 weeks with Tamedo, etc (I'm sure you and your siblings have cute names. Don't mind my example . You get the drift though) . Including the itinerary shows its a well thought out holiday. No information is too much when it comes to these immigration guys... Birth certificate from all four of you siblings should be included as well, to show proof she's your mum. Most importantly - i hope she has enough evidence to show strong ties to home. With 4 kids abroad, the immigration officer might be inclined to think she wants to japa! If she has ties show evidence of that. Businesses back home, assets, family - husband, partner, aged parents shes caring for etc. snowphunmee: |

Biko dont enter depression o. At least you have a job. Keep looking at the positive things when you start feeling tired and worn out. Its not a walk in the park getting sponsorship, more so when you're outside UK. Getting a job is a job on its own, talk less of getting a sponsored job abroad. I've walked that path, so I'm not just out here telling you feel good stuff. It takes a lot time and mental preparedness dealing with applications, rejections etc. But it becomes "sweet" when you clinch an offer. I saw a post online of a guy who got a sponsored job as a business analyst, after about 300 applications and interviews, he hit jackpot! Imagine! Have you considered Canada and getting into the express entry pool? Its quite competitive now, but you never know if a province might pick you etc. I dont know your demographics, so i wont have an incline as to your scores on age and education. But i would say if UK doesn't seem like its bringing an open door then maybe spread your scope elsewhere. Check this out I just stumbled on it.

Travel / Re: Jakpa: Proof Of Fund - How Do I Get One? by roak: 6:17am On Jun 04 |
Some organisations do this. Credit your account with the said amount and charge you a certain interest fee (not so sure the percentage, as i haven't used such services) But be careful....I heard of someone who used them and got refused. They got 5yr canada ban for misinformation abi na misrepresentation. It turns out that when they were verifying the funds, the said amount had been moved out of her account by the organisation. I guess some plugs are more legit than others. So if you venture this way, then do your findings well. ChisomGloria: 1 Like |

A doctor without decorum, what a pity!! This back n forth is the exact same thing you did with @leef on this same thread in 2022 or so. Back and forth arguments, even when you were wrong, gaslighting and the works, and not just been gracious enough to accept that you cant be right every time! Plus, its funny how I'm able to work on your psyche, and keep goading you for a response. Yet you don't fail to deliver. So So predictable From your response people know you, your inbox is full of compliments, and gratitude, but you dont respond to them yada, yada. Awwwwww. Good for you. Word of advice though; Stop acting out here. It's not cute! You that they know, see how you've displayed yourself. Lack of decorum, gaslighting, and the works. Dont disappoint, or fall the hands of those who expect you to do better in this situation, and those looking up to you (too late though - you don already fall their hand!) Afterall, no one knows me here, so what social media complements can I be feeding off from - as you said. You that they know, and SHOWER A GAZILLION PRAISES pls do better. But nope, you won't do better and still reply to this. Na your way . You must always have the last say. . If dem born you well, reply to this post again! Las las, na we still dey advice you on how to comport! Doctor without sense! SMH giselle237: 5 Likes 2 Shares |

Who ever talked of prize?? He responded to me and I replied him. Thats exactly why I said "I'm not a popular jingo here". Thus I don't even expect any prize and im not looking for a fan base...Mine is to drop the facts and if anyone comes for me for saying the truth, then il keep restating the facts. It's not personal. Many people are on here who would be silent, but low key are also reading up the links and guidelines to what was posted from UKVI page. The platform is for learning and engagement.

Your job and assets actually form part of your ties back to the country. They are equally important as well. Any established business or company you're running? Include copies of company/business registration etc, copy of docs or relationship with suppliers etc. Copies of business financials etc Include details of any landed property you have as well. Details of any other assets - fixed deposits, etc. No info is too much info to let the Immigration officer know you have solid ties here. Family also shows your ties. Marriage certiifcate, birth certificate of kids etc. If not married and no kids, but your immediate family are in the country (siblings, parents) that also shows evidence of ties. Include photos showing pictures with family - spouse or kids if any or immediate family. Letter of employment from your organisation, mentioning your roles and responsibilities, how long you've worked etc - the letter basically portrays you as an asset to the company, so the Immigration officer knows you have something worthwhile you're returning back too. Attach a copy of your work ID as to the letter. You should include a detailed cover letter with your application detailing all of these points that prove and demonstrate your ties to your home country. Jolene474: 2 Likes 1 Share |

Gd morning to you too. 🙏🏽 Peace has always reigned with me. Check my previous posts. Ive not had any altercation or issues in the past. I also respond to people, and they respond to me. The point of here is to desemminate info. No one is an island of knowledge as you said. But when someone wants to "gaslighting" and distort the narrrative, in a bid to always be right, and not be able to accept theres a second view, then it becomes an issue. Even after showing the docs, she's still calling names, deflecting, and using pettyy jabs. All to what gain? What does it cost her to say "oh okay I've seen this info you dug up from UKVI site. It sheds another perspective on this". For me it is a syndrome of always wanting to be right. There's no prize here for anyone, we don't know each other. We all just helping out. Period.

For anyone who wants to see the info themselves here's the link https://www.gov.uk/prove-right-to-rent/using-immigration-documents. I also attached 4 screenshots right at the bottom of the post. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Now to address you @giselle237: The thread initially started off with me mentioning issues i had with generating share code, and it progressed (moved on) from there to me mentioning that immigration docs can also be used to prove right to rent. I started the thread, so i clearly know what my responses were. And the thread history is still there. Read to understand... As i said earlier, my employer made mention of share code, and i posted on this site about me having issues generating share code with my international passport. I was told by @cashmadam that i couldn't generate a share code with my international passport. I didn't dispute that. I mentioned that share code is used for rent, so how then would one be able to rent an apartment? I was more or less told i have to wait till i get to UK to be able to rent - cos i cant get share code from Nigeria (that was the insinuation from what was said). I checked and read the guidelines online, and I later found out from UKVI site that to prove right to rent you can also use your immigration /travel docs - vignette.. I quoted the information and facts from UKVI site, and that was where the back and forth stemmed from with you. A person who is just hell bent on following her views against the facts, and cant admit for this one time she is not right. So in your own words, "stop chatting bat shit" and just accept you're wrong here. I keep showing you the facts and where you're wrong. UKVI has said vignette can be used, you misread that even after the screenshot from their site was shown to you, and yet you still fail to acknowledge what has been shown to you. Grow up!! You cant always be right every time! You might be a Methuselah on this platform, and have been here for eons, but there would be times when you would not always be right, and this is one of them. Learn to be gracious in those moments. You cannot know it all! Sit this one out and move on. Im not UKVI, and i dont make these stuff up. I simply quoted to you (showing pictorial evidence) what the guidelines say on their website. I have also attached 4 screenshots below the post from UKVI website. Abi did i forge UKVI site too ?? Toh! In summary, if vignette can be used, it then implies that people should be able to make use of it to sort accommodation before they step into UK, and then proceed to get their BRP. The bone of contention was you saying only share code can be used as right to rent, and i showed you a document that said vignette can also be used. . I never said it would be easy - sorting accommodation before getting to UK, but according to the guidelines it is doable with vignette, and i am taking the necessary steps required to pursue that route. Sorting out a soft landing is ideal before coming down - if one is able to get that. *You're not worth the replies after this. So going forward you'll definrtely be ignored. This platform Is about disseminating info. I was civil with you, till you went ranting in your replies with name calling* ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NB. For anyone who wants to see the info themselves here's the link https://www.gov.uk/prove-right-to-rent/using-immigration-documents.

Anyone reading this, let this thread not digress. I am the fellow in question, and this isn't about share code anymore. It initially started off with Share Code, and the discourse moved to documents that can be used for right to rent. I initially created the thread, but my posts and replies were intentionally removed in a bid to distort the narrative.... As i said earlier, my employer made a mention of share code, and i posted on this site about me having issues generating share code with my international passport. I was told by @cashmadam that i couldn't generate a share code with my international passport. I didn't dispute that. I mentioned that share code is used for rent, so how then would one be able to rent an apartment? I was more or less told i have to wait till i get to UK to be able to rent - cos i cant get share code from Nigeria (that was the insinuation of what was said). After doing my research, I later found out from UKVI site that to prove right to rent you can also use your immigration /travel docs (vignette). I mentioned this, quoted the facts and that was where the back and forth stemmed from with you. A person who is just hell bent on following her views against the facts, and cant admit for this one time she is not right! Yeah, we know share code dosent work with naija passport. You can only get it in UK with BRP, and you need share code to prove your right to rent...However, according to UKVI site, you can use, your vignette to prove your right to rent (I only stumbled on this when I read the guidelines as well). Now, I believe this would work for a short term accom stuff. Afterall, it's a given that people leaving from naija are trying to sort rental out for 1 to 3 months before they get settled in UK. So if you're trying to sort a short term accommodation from naija before entering UK you can be proactive and mail renters with a copy of your vignette and send them the link to the info that says vignette can be used. Nothing ventured nothing gained. It's not easy getting short term rental dosent mean it's not doable. A few landlords or rental agencies do offer short term. The guidelines already said you can use your vignette. So my own advice is try. There's no harm in trying. Worst case you don't get any positive response, good case you get a positive response. Afterall we can agree than not every land lord might know this... Information is power and if you can use it to your advantage good! At the end of my post is a screenshot of the doc from UKVI site that clearly states "for those who are not British or Irish......" I didn't come up with the guidelines myself, i only stumbled on it, I am still in Nigeria, and I'm currently trying to also see if i can obtain a short term accom as well before arriving UK, using my vignette if asked about right to rent.... Nothing ventured, nothing gained. I am in touch with rental agencies ; based off my own research and my employer sent me a link of some short term accoms to check as well around the area and some agencies who can be able to do short term. Hint here: So i approached one of the private accommodations that house students, i mailed them and mentioned what i needed. Because session is ending in June, theres a possibility they may be able to offer me something for about 2 months before the students resume in September. They asked if I'm a student. I said no and i attached my vignette....They said they'd get back to me on the other short term options they have. They dont only manage student properties.... I am only explaining all this to say nothing is impossible so far the guideline permits, and you're willing to give it a shot. People are quick to jump and say its not doable, housing crisis in UK blah blah. E no dey doable abi, but some people still dey manage get am. E fit dey hard to get, no mean say its not doable! Here's the link to the info and facts, for those who want to read it up themselves https://www.gov.uk/prove-right-to-rent/using-immigration-documents I have a tenacious spirit, and i don't follow crowd or follow what people say blindly, or follow peoples opinion without fact checking and giving things a good and thorough try/attempt. Same way they say its hard to get a skilled visa from outside UK in a non care /health sector role, non education role, or non IT role. That you would have to attaché to a dependent etc etc. Its hard but not impossible..... I was able to secure such without attaching to anyone or being in any of these listed professions...some others have been able to secure such as well... I dont say it to boast, just to reiterate the facts that - e fit dey hard, but still some people dey get am.

Shes been here for long doesn't mean she'd always be right.... and it sounded like she wanted to be right at all cost! I posted and put the facts, yet she was still charging head on. I mean - i put the screenshot from UKVI site with the info. What more again? In a bid to quickly discharge and dismiss what I said, she didn't even read the facts/ info correctly, and was misquoting wrongly. Afterall, isnt that the purpose of this place is ? to put credible information out there? My responses were defending what i read (the glaring facts) and not going at her. I dont know her personally... You say i came across as knowing it all? - im not clueless on UK immigration matters, but that dosent mean i know it all. I didn't even know that vignette/ immigration docs can be used for right to rent (according to UKVI) till i researched and read it up on their website... just days before, my employer mentioned share code and that was what spurred me to read up more about it. If you see the initial question on the thread, it was about how to generate share code with passport and not talking about share code for renting.... My point is no one knows it all. That someone has been on the platform for long still dosen't mean they know it all... If information (with supporting facts) is brought, that's different from what a person has known all this while, or information they didn't know....then let them also be gracious enough to accept the new info that is been shed in a different light, and not display an attitude of "I'm always right or I must always be right" We all learn everyday. There's no one here that knows it all. That's the essence of this group. I am open to helping people out too.
