Hello house, I applied for the 6 months standard visa, did biometrics and all in Abuja. Got email that application received on the 10th, since then I haven't gotten any updates. I did emailed them tonight and I was told my application is yet to be assessed by the ECO. Please is there anything to be worried about?? Thanks

If you include your marriage certificate, is it compulsory to include pictures......if it's only for visit visa .

And if someone paid in just 42k into my account do I have to explain the reason

orabs:
Flight to where? Have you checked on wakanow?

Honestly you are not helping your case, rather than reducing cost you are adding more, you can not impress the ECO by budgeting higher than you earn in 2months.

Shopping is not part of visa requirements.

You can definitely get a ticket below that figure if you seriously want to search for one

justwise:


That is high you could find a cheaper ticket to bring down your overall cost

Hiya.
No deposit will be charged does not mean they "might" not check your card to see if it's valid/has enough funds.

Please use a card with some funds to book.

@Ifyalways thanks, that's noted

Some hotels delete the booking if not paid after some period of time.
This can cause problems if an official checks at visa office or point of entry.

Make sure that you understand and follow the hotel policy.

Go for that if that is the hotel's policy

5) ID card
6) Hotel Booking confirmation

Transport: £50
Feeding: £150

Total amount available for the trip: £1169

What document is needed to be added or excluded? Please look into this and advise

Thank you as always

Your transport figure is high, check the transport for London website and know the zone you will be staying, buy weekly ticket for that zone which will cost less than £50 or buy oyster card which is about £5 then load the card with credit. that card is used for London buses and trans.

Why do you need that?

coment on wat d eco said in page2, amy future application u mak wil b treated on it merits,however u are likely b refuse,unless 1) ur personal circumstantances change significantly btw now an ur next applicatin 2) u provide compelling new evidence wit ur next app.

It does not matter if it is a Guest house,hotel or short stay apartments,the most important thing is to get a VERIFIABLE booking confirmation,just in case the High Commission chooses to verify

Solatium:


It all depends on your account balance,some spend more than that,some less than that,but if your account balance is not solid enough, earmarking £400 for shopping will sound outrageous and look unrealistic

Solatium:



Your feeding for that period of one week should take £50 and transportation takes £150, Transportation is expensive compare to feeding,food is the relatively cheap

justwise:


Which city are you visiting and which hotel did you get that estimate from?

justwise:


1. Not really a problem but it depends on the city you are visiting in the U.K.

2. Any, whether in the form or cover letter.

Do a break down of the trip first then you will know whether 2 and half will afford you a trip to the U.K during Christmas period.
