General observation:
There is a concern of recent rising number of inappropriately adjudicated visa application cases resulting in refusals for a number of potentially genuine visitors to UK. This is evident from error laden refusal letters issued out.

Suggestion
Those that believe they have been unfairly refused based on incorrect assertions provided in their refusal letters should in addition to the standard complaint pathway, advice those who invited them/sponsor (especially if they be citizens or permanent residents) to write to either their MPs or one of the MPs on the home affairs committee detailing their concern.

I will also be writing this concern to the chair of the Home affairs committee as well as my MP.

***PS: Above suggestion is my personal opinion and doesn't make it right or wrong.

Hi,

There is no problem arriving in EDI even if you'll be heading to glasgow afterwards. Telling border officers that you are gonna be commuting initially isnt a new. For avoidance of doubt some people commute daily from glasgow to work or to School , its just under 90minutes (Megabus tickets- usu very cheap those days)

Someone pls respond ooo

I foresee a lot of trouble here…
Whilst your child is a US citizen and can travel to the US. The subject around a minor travelling with a relative from a secondary location WILL raise a big flag.
Q. If you provide a letter / document for the relative to travel with your child, what address will you put there as yours ( As a visitor in Canada you are a temporary guest and you can’ t claim a residential status which will bring the document/ document into question) #secondary location.
— There is a slight chance for the US border agency to trigger safeguarding measure- authorising US govt protection of a (minor) citizen. ( You wouldn’t want this)

Seek legal advice or more simpler, your child’s father can visit Canada and take his child on a trip to US (less hassle).

Gbanis:
Greetings everyone, I would like to know, what other documents (if any) does a US citizen need for a travel visit to Canada from Nigeria besides a valid US passport?
Also, can a minor kid (US citizen) be allowed into USA from Canada in the company of an adult guidian? (A relative). I would like my child to go on a 2 weeks visit to see his Dad in the US.
It's been 6 years since he left and I haven't been able to renew my visa to take the boy to go and see him.
I'm hoping we can visit Canada, then I'll have a relative take him to his Dad in USA on a short trip and bring him back to me in Canada, then we can return to Nigeria. If this is possible, what documents do I need for them to present at the US POE? and would this in any way affect my chances of getting a US visa as I plan to go for my interview after the trip.
His Dad and I are legally divorced but peacefully parenting our child.
Please any valid information or guidance on this would be greatly appreciated.

Having dependant visa for PBS student is now more tedious. My guess is UK is also more expensive for your study but i recognise it's an MSc degree which is better off than a Bachelors degree.
Relative cost --- Finland over UK
Bringing Dependants ___Finland over UK
English speaking ____ UK over Finland
Quickest to permanent residency__Finland over UK
Work Prospects-- Not sure

Overall, with the current policy trends in UK, i personally will be more inclined to Finland than UK. Although there is bigger african communities in most of the UK, Finland is a beautiful country to live in.

Hi,
Apologies as i just took note that your stated annual income is £9k. You need to show how your parents send this money to you. Saying you don't have another income is technically right. (We regard income as money received in exchange of labour or services).

With the statement written in bold above said, if you want to support a financial sponsors account, you still have to show how they make that income ( invoices/receipts/payment orders etc) in their bank account.


Thank you so much for the pointers however, in my application I stated that I’m a student and I have other income (allowance from parents). If I submit my statement of account, how do I prove the credits are from my parents since there isn’t a direct transfer from their naira account to my Turkish lira account or should I have stated that I have no other income?

Secondly my mum runs an informal business (palm oil business), how would she prove the transactions are for her business?[/quote]

Hi,
I did enjoy reading your positions, i think the counter opinion also bears quite a lot of weight. Your pointer of being in a regulated position may have given you away as a UK GP hoping for more earning poser in Canada. If it were 9 months ago, i will fully agree with you. However, it's good you have sufficient information before any move. Whilst your mind may be made up and honestly it will be good for you to come to Canada and try yourself, know that things are rapidly changing on ground here. For context, i am also a British-US- Nigerian-Canadian ( Canadian means I'm PR not citizen). There has been a lot of influx of people coming in including UK GPs. The trouble the changes seen in Canada are as a result of unmeasured checks of immigration control and with elections almost coming up the pressure is on to for a tangible, palpable and drastic immigrant net control.
Property market is pricer in Canada but for business minded persons, it also better to have your property in Canada than in UK except you have enough to buy one as soon as you land keeping in mind that the rental market here depending on the province is more expensive than the UK (Like me you may not be keen on renting). In addition, the taxes are about similar with the UK. Not all gloom though, the welfare system is better, good place for family, child care is ridiculously cheaper than UK, friendlier environment, better working environment ( esp comparing the primary care and NHS brouhaha) and a real well deserved respect from the community and entities.

jedisco:
Lol.. Regarding option 2, I'd ultimately see what interest rates do. If they're amicable, I'd keep it and possibly add another before my sabbatical as I gather the UK property market relatively primed.

True, there's been some changes with their system but by contemporary standards, it's still generous. The main issue is seems is that British-Canadians who have been a historical huge supplier of Canadian migrants are now unable to supply as many new entrants but are strongly opposed to Indian-Canadians taking their position. I love the conservatives- many are capitalists like me and if the UK is pointer, we know where their migration there is ultimately headed.

It'd be interesting to know why you chorus the last statement - is it fear of the unknown? It's like saying all equity investors would get same outcome irrespective of what companies/markets they are invested in. There are overarching issues but outcomes are very much different. I don't complain- only point out the effect/drivers of certain moves by my soon-to-be compatriots e.g Brexit which has been a blessing for me and many Nigerians. In my experience, location is a huge driver of attainment. Even in a field as regulated as mine, I know what difference location (even in thesame county) can make. Nationwide its more remarkable as earnings could almost double by switching location while still maintaining thesame or less workload and better QOL. Just like I highlighted the pros and cons of the British and Canadian visit visa system, different nations would come with different challenges. They'd hardly be thesame.

Hi, while i acknowledge and empathise with you on how painful a refusal can be, I think your application and your proposed re-application strategy is completely and utterly flawed. Always juxtapose the position of a caseworker to yours.
1. First key point/fault which i think you should answer before any re-application is this. Your monthly expenses is 1.5million that is 18million a year but all the income is receive from your work ( <6million) + the additional 5million totalling <11million is still a far cry from the 18million you spend annually on expenses ruling out any iota of savings. In your re-application proposed strategy, even if the other amount to be pain in by your employee is added, the total sum is still far less than your annual expenses.

What does the above imply:
A. You are financially struggling in Nigeria ( indirectly there will be no incentive for you to leave UK and to Nigeria if granted an entry permit). This is the big issue you have to solve. Please don't apply without solving it as it would be only divine for the application not to meet the same fate as the previous
B. I don't know the ages of your kids, but except for holiday period 21days out of school is a long time. I hope you also included an approved leave letter from your work place.
C. In addition to showing evidence how the deficit of your income vs expenses is met, you also can to provide verifiable evidence of your husband's capacity to pay not only for the your trip with the kids and that he will be financially okay to meet his own demands of living expenses as a student in the UK ( recall that the primary defence of the case worker is that your husband is a student).

Questions to answer in addition for Observation c are below:
1. Is your husband's accommodation suitable for a 4 person family, if yes good but if no, would he need an external accommodation for the visit. If yes ( itemised bills- accommodation/feeding +/- transport to be included in trip expenses ).
2. What is the level of covered of his scholarship, would it accommodate a family of four even with his stipends.
3. With the current personal financial posture you have shared, a caseworker would wonder if it isn't financially tactical for 1 person (your husband) to visit you in Nigeria than for the three of you visiting the UK without any strong ties to Nigeria.

In summary, critically appraise the information i have provided you and while they might seem daunting, they are doable and achievable. It might be a better option for your husband to visit you and the kids instead of the reverse due to your financial posture. I hope the information helps to shed some light. I'll be happy like many others here to answer any further follow on question you may have.

NB: My above submission is a personal opinion and not a professional or official advice.

Khalifa001:
Hello everyone. Please I just got a refusal and would like to reapply. Unfortunately, I found this thread after my application was submitted. I have some ideas of what is wrong, clearly from the explanation given. However, it would be good to get advice on how to proceed when reapplying.

For context;
My husband sponsors my monthly expenses along with my salary hence the stated amount is true but I didn’t prove this.
My husband is on a govt sponsored scholarship. He is our sponsor and he is also on a paid study leave. He is definitely coming back to Nigeria and we have no plans to stay beyond the stated period.
His statement of account, letter of introduction and all study documents and accommodation documents were submitted.
For me, my employment document, statement of account, marriage certificate and affidavit, pictures.
Our two kids, their dad’s supporting documents, my documents, birth certificates, pictures.
Red flags:
1.My closing balance was very low, money was used for a purchase and was to be replaced by my hubby; however the money is moved back into my account (I’m worried because my husband had just made the lump sum payment yesterday and the refusal came in last night, so my closing balance is around 2.3M)
2.I have a change of name affidavit(valid since 2020) but my bank change of name has not been done and my name at work is still my maiden name.
3.I stated my refusal earlier in the year to the USA (tourist visa). It is my first application to the uk and I have never travelled out. My husband has travelled a lot, he has a long travel history.
4. My employee would pay me a lump sum (around 1.5m) at the end of this month because they owe me debt from July. In a reapplication, would this pose a problem? Together with the huge deposit from my husband which is purely coincidental.
5. What does the eco mean by my supporting document does not support the immigration law?

Thank you for taking out time to read this much. I intend to reapply and see my husband in December along with our two kids. What to do?

I'm really sorry about your refusal, i think there were a few key details you missed and which made the entire application look incomplete.
1. To Start with, i think 3 weeks for you to reapply and get a response might be very tight so if you would wanna consider deferring your OSCE to a later date.
2. In your submission, you claim you earn money but provided no proof, no employment letter, no statement of account ( you can still submit your turkish statement of account, remember you're in Cyprus and believe me they can read your statements or get it translated).
3. It is not enough to provide a sponsors document (statement) without proof of the source of income. Reverse the role and see if you were the case handler you would give it any weigh. A sponsor has to provide a letter to support your application, verifiable proof of their source of income including but not limited to their employment letter and how much they are gonna be sponsoring you with.
4. In the absence of the above, any case worker would start to doubt if there are any strong ties you have in Cyprus.

In conclusion, get the documents above, and carefully resubmit your application and i believe your application would be considered positively. Also, you can include the receipts of your fees for your education in Cyprus when resubmitting. All the best and wish you luck. Cheers

Just a little correction to the information in bold below. London and Belfast consulates are the only ones providing non immigrant services. There is no consulate in Manchester while consulate in Edinburgh is for US citizen services only.

giselle237:
Ask your question.
Cost is about 150 to 180 usd.
You’ll get 5 years if approved.
You need to fill a form and after the form, book an appointment to be physically interviewed.
Note that dates for interviews are a couple of months away from the date you fill the visa form so put that in mind to plan your travel.
Interview locations are London,Manchester and Edinburgh in the UK.
You don’t need to actually book the hotel, you need a travel destination/city, address and phone number of where you would be staying throughout your trip and then fill your DS 160 form very accurately as this carries the weight of the visa decision.
If you have any other specific questions ask.

Just a general advice.
For all those intending visitors to UK that are not self-sponsored or sponsored by immediate family members (not distant uncles/aunt/friends etc), please note that you are going to be perceived as an economic migrant especially given the economic situation in Nigeria. The onus rests on you to prove from your application that you are a genuine short term visitor to UK. Before submitting your application, ask yourself the question "Does this application look like the applicant will return after their visit? (?ties to home)." Once you have an answer/doubt in your head on this question, then you can easily tell the probable direction your application will go. You can then seek further assistance here with your pertinent questions that the fantastic contributors here will be willing to answer.

My above comment is simply a general advice so that time and funds are not wasted but not directed at anyone. God bless.

I think you just have to state the denial and the reason. Then explain reasons why the large deposits were made. If you have a document to also evidence this large deposit ( e.g Performance letter from your work place stating the bonus), you can attach it as well.

Veefid:
Hello everyone, please I need advice.

I was denied a uk tourist visa earlier this year due to financial reasons (I had a large deposit, which I explained: it was payment of performance bonus for last year. But I guess the ECO still wasn’t comfortable with it).

Now, I have to still apply again, this time sponsored by my company for a business trip. All my documents are ready, however for the letter explaining the denial, how do I explain the transaction into my account if the month it occurred (January) is not covered in my new six month bank statement (April to October).

Do I just narrate the transaction in the letter, or?

Please I’ll appreciate any guidance I can get as my biometric is next week. Thank you.

That would be a great shame if its the case as their cases will trigger investigations by the HO resulting in cancellation and curtailment whether now or in future when they are renewing their papers. The home office has access beyond what they normally think of including requesting medical record info from their doctors, employers, schools etc.

I am recently aware of a case that of a revocation of ILR following secondary to a marriage of convenience for immigration purposes after 6years. The both families I'm told have are now facing deportation.

giselle237:
Unfortunately this poster and many others committed sham marriages to get into the UK via the student route and this is why they are triggered.
Another group, falsified information to bring in their cousins, neighbours, househelps etc as their children. It is an unfortunate situation but everyone knows including the poster and the home office has caught up and is clamping down on all and sundry.

Hi, whilst i'm not an immigration lawyer who will offer you a better advice, there are just some key points worth noting here.
Firstly, according to a comment you made, that they have been separated since January but only recently legally divorced ( not sure what month). The subject matter remains;
1. Was the HO informed of the separation as stipulated on PBS dependant entry permit policy? If not, your colleague must be able to address when the time comes.

2. Is there evidence of travels to Nigeria (not just for the wedding) to establish "genuine relationship" which culminated into a marriage in 6months or thereabout and/or a month after a legal divorce.

3. If the answer to question 1 is NO, HO wasn't informed then it might be adjudicated as a breech of her dependant permit resulting in cancellation and curtailment. Alternatively, there was a substantial investigation by the Police, then there might be grounds for consideration on leniency which will be individually determined but not guaranteed.

So, the question about whether 6 months is enough, is very subjective and i can't provide a direct answer. What i can tell you is there shouldn't be too much worry if all the marriages and divorce were genuine but most assuredly is there will be an unannounced HO investigation.

I hope the information above helps in one way or the other.

Bacteria8:
Thank you so much sir/ma. I really appreciate.

She has spoken to an Immigration lawyer in London, and the lawyer explained it this way you did. The lawyer suggested a 6 months timeline.

Pls what do you think about this 6 months timeline ?

For a start i do no think the advice given by @giselle meant he was talking down on anyone, it was just a caution. Now to answer your question, Your colleague should be very careful of his/her actions as the time line of events might lead the HO case worker to believe the divorced marriage was a sham marriage on the balance of probability which translates into falsehood for an entry permit. As a result, your colleague's problem will not just be a question of whether or not he/she can bring in the new spouse but instead a likelihood of cancellation and curtailment of entry permit under S.24 of Immigration and Asylum act of 1999 for the 2 parties involved in the divorce. Note that marriages of convenience, are for the purposes of immigration, synonymous with sham marriages. (NB- I'm not making any accusation or implying the previous or current marriage is one)

If however, there is substance and establish-able facts to the events of divorce and re-marriage then there shouldn't be a problem although there will still be a HO investigation whether now or at your colleague's subsequent renewal as the threshold would have been triggered.

So he/she should weigh their options well.

Bacteria8:
Don't talk down on people sir/ma pls. You have no idea about their story. Thank you.

@Debral,
I came across your post and thought i explain a highly plausible reason for the denial. To be very direct, the moment you/they submitted their NIV application, the USCIS system would have already adjudicated a NIV refusal due to the system also picking up a pending IV application.

Basis for this - you cannot argue a non immigrant intent when you already filed for an immigrant status/visa. As such, the physical interview was just procedural and i imagine would have been very short.

So it is not about your parent's response and i will advice not to re-submit another NIV application but rather wait for their GC process which takes about 16-18months on the average ( from USCIS to NVC stage for IV interview scheduling).

Hope the above explanation helps. Cheers.

Hello guys , my parents got denied this morning - age 60&65

Second appointment, first was 2019

Why are you going to the USA ?
How many children do you have ?
Where is the rest of the children?
What’s your son’s address ?
What state ?
Are you retired ? Yes

Denied !!

Currently , they have a pending green card Application that’s lasted a year .. could that be the problem ?

Thank you.

Just resubmit the English test document. It’s usually due to an omission.

firstlady4:
Good morning everyone. Please I need help here😥

I uploaded all required documents for my Health and Care workers visa on 19th including my IELTS Academic, though combine result based on NMC UK requirements. I went for my biometrics on 22nd and got this email for additional documents on 28th. They are still requesting for English test which I have already uploaded it previously. Should I be concerned?

I applied as a pre-registered nurse in a care home. I am so worried right now.

@OyoTunjiUSA.
I don’t comment very often but I came across your responses to this subject. You stated that “we learn everyday”.., I can tell you for a fact that Nigerians with Canadian PR get 10yr b1/b2 visa when they apply. Everyone I have given an invite to US with a Canadian PR received 10yr visa. We all learn everyday and I do recognise your active input on this platform. Thank you

(PS- Just for context and not brag. I’m Nigerian/British/American citizen and a Canadian PR holder)[/quote]

OyoTunjiUSA:
🤠

You have started with your gang ups. Where is the weird post ? Are you working inside the US embassy in Canada ?

The original poster cannot go further so the need to hire mercenary in order to cover lie all in the name to accuse OyotunjiUSA 😊

Where is the tie to Canada ? She landed just 2 months ago ? And you are in Canada yourself?

PR can be revoked . Citizenship by other means aside of birth can be revoked.

Nigerians in Canada applying for B1-B2 for the first time inside Nigerian passport gets 5 years visa. Bye.

Please some should tell me about University of Roehampton
How good is the school? ..any one studying there .is the environment good for international student that would like to work and earn money??

Good school but your biggest headache will be accommodation if the Uni has not provided you with one. Very pricey area to rent and even worse if you’ve got a family. The bright side is you might have a lot of online classes so you can easily find cheaper accommodation in places with a short commute.

Does anyone have idea on Bangor university in wales, what are the living conditions and how easy is it to get jobs there

Bangor is a nice area and the university is quite good. The sch's accommodation is tiny though (bear in mind). There aren't so many jobs in Bangor itself but you are sure to find one with determination in neighbouring communities which are easily accessible by train.

Hi, so sorry to hear about your sister's visa refusal.
Almost as a general rule of thumb, offering to sponsor the entire trip proffers significant advantage for the applicant as it reduces the burden to demonstrate affordability for the trip. Secondly, your financial documents and position is more trackable, believable and trustworthy for the caseworker. That said, the applicant would not need to show bogus sums in his/her account or give so much explanation whilst not ignoring demonstrating home ties.
Just like you have done for your brother successfully, i have had same successful results for over the last 8 years even for both unrelated folks/ old friends e.t.c. just by stating in the invitation letter that "i would be covering all travel expenses for the trip and any other expenses that may be incurred whilst in UK and until his/her departure from the UK".

In a nutshell, your question "Would it be easier if I offer to sponsor her trip 100% while she only declares her employment"?. On a balance of probability it's a YES.

Mamasibs:
Hello,

I would appreciate some help with my sister’s visa. She just received her third refusal(attached). We are quite confused about what happened with her CAc registration and are checking to see if she was scammed.

I wanted her to attend my baby’s christening which is unlikely to happen. I was going to suggest waiting until next summer the applying again.

Would it be easier if I offer to sponsor her trip 100% while she only declares her employment? I did this for my brother (they were meant to be travelling together) and he was successful.

Please help. I spent a lot of time on her application.

We did a spreadsheet explaining the source of her income with receipt. Her husband also wrote a letter confirming his monthly contribution to her account. I also provided all my details (house documents, payslip, British passport, invitation card and photos) I'm not sure what else can be done.

Would it be easier if I offered to pay for all her expenses? Help

Without deep consideration of your qualifications, customer care role, health care assistant and administrative job roles are your best bet.

You will need to contact individual schools for their admission process and deadlines. You can find this information on their websites as well. I think there may be some bursary for nursing students but i'm not sure if it's limited to citizens or for everyone. Get more information on respective university's website.

I am very much interested in general nursing

JaySterling:
Guys please I need help. I filled Belfast, Northern Ireland or my DS-160 because it is closest to me. But there have been no appointment dates there for days

Can I reschedule to London where I saw appointment for December 2023?

Not sure if you meant scheduling in London rather than rescheduling as you haven't already scheduled an appointment in Belfast if i have understood your statement correctly. It's okay to schedule in London even though you filled Belfast in your DS-160. All you need to do is fill up another DS-160 (not mandatory) before you attend your interview in London otherwise there might be slight delay during your interview as the visa officer would need to first transfer your application electronically from Belfast to London before your actual interview commences (time consuming- takes couple of minutes.) Hope this information helps.

Lovebuddy:
Hi everyone, I want to cross to nursing
Did my hnd in public administration, got done with a lower credit
I will love to do nursing in ik , my travel preparation will start next year , is there anyone who can advice me on what and how to go about it
I’d really appreciate

Firstly, you need to decide if its General nursing you are thinking about or mental health nursing. Since you have a first degree, mental health nursing might be an easier choice as you do not have a prior knowledge in sciences. I will advice Masters in mental health nursing although i'm aware it is becoming very competitive due the number of applicants. Hope this information helps. You can get more information online and from schools offering the programs.

You can go ahead and apply for 2 years. You have a better chance at it. I'm not sure anyone can give you an absolute guarantee but rather on the balance of probability.
NB: You still have to demonstrate your personal circumstance is admissible (ie. finances and home-times) irrespective of the other pre-existing visas (even though they give you an advantage). Hope this information helps.

Ozzy15:
Thanks for your response, so rather than applying for 6months I should just go ahead and apply for 2years. Do you have any instance where the person was given 2years as first visa issuance?. I'm sorry for the questions I just want to be double sure,so my money doesn't go to waste.
