The outcome will favour us in Jesus name.

When and where did you do your biometric?

Did you get a non straight forward application email from DMC Croydon?

kumbhuru:
Question please, by the time my visa decision is out, I won't be in Abuja where I did biometrics to receive my passport, would the email they sent to me show the decision made?

If the only email they send to you is a notification to go pick up your passport without getting a rejection email, just put on your dancing shoes and head to Tls to collect your vignette stamped passport.

tobinofadipe:
Hello house,
Is there anyone who did their biometrics between June 1st to June 10th that has gotten a decision, standard application.

Did mine 13th, can't wait to have them decide already.

jochimi:
Good afternoon everyone. This is my first time posting here. I have an issue. I was refused a UK visit visa and I noticed in the decision letter, there was an error in the figure that was stated as what I earned a year as a self-employed, I also just checked my application and saw I made a mistake too. I was supposed to put NGN but instead used GBP which was a mistake I didn't notice on time. That makes two mistakes, from my end and also from theirs. Please what do I do? I want to reapply but I don't know if this is the best decision. I applied same time with my mum and we've gotten a mail that her uk visa application is ready for collection. I would like to travel with my mum to see my sister hence the reason why I want to reapply.

I used my salary account statement as well as my business account statement. My business is not yet in full operation so I used the account to save money from my salary, so its only inflow that's been recorded in the business account, I don't know if this was an issue.

I attached the email I got and also the part of the form where I made a mistake

CAC does not expire it only becomes inactive when you don't file annual return. If you're in a place like Abuja, just go to CAC Maitama, enter cyber cafe tell them you want to file annual return, N15000 per year for Ltd + small negotiable money for lawyer or cyber cafe attendant.

Secondly, state you are applying for them, I don't think there a crime in that.

Lastly, simply be truthful and honest in your application for your patents.

Nice one from Davido

Good evening,

Please can you share like how much balance you had at the time of submission?

Also I’m new here, what page do you suggest I read from, going on tourist visit with my spouse.

We both have canada visiting visa though unused. I have a US visa unused too.

We want to visit the UK. I noticed im not able to create family profile. How do i link our accounts? Or do we have to submit independently?

There's no family visa profile, you have to apply independently but you will get to a point where they will ask you if you're traveling with anyone, answer yes and provide your spouse's details.

Dangote, Otedola, Tony Elumelu are a joke to you.

Blessedsteph:
Despite not paying bills themselves, you should still put an amount. I put 30k for my older kids then 40k for the younger one.

Ha, me put 250k

Hello people, please can child expenses per month be ₦0 since they dont pay any bills?

Mashaunola:
I want to say a big thank you to you guys on this platform. The information you share is priceless.

My Elder brother’s visa got approved. 1st time traveler.

Biometrics: 2nd April, 2024
Collection: 12th April, 2024.

I submitted his bank statement, evidence of his 2 properties, invitation letter from my Uni and invitation letter from my Elder sister and other documents.

I stated he will be spending £450. He earns 700k after tax.

I would have made some mistakes but the information I got reading this platform is amazing.

Thank you so so much guys God bless

Pls tell us the mistake you avoided and what info helped.

Nnekkyneks:
Using company account id not a good idea I applied once for my husband using his company statement, submitted company documents, he was refused on the grounds that we could not proof how the funds in the account was for the trip, it is believed that the funds in company account are for running the business and not for ur family vacation. It was not until I applied using his personal savings or salary account that we got the visa. As Cashmadam has said pls use ur personal account. All the best

What if the company pays travel allowance into my personal account?

Cashmadam:
Good afternoon. Let's leave the budget for now.

I don't quite understand the percentages you have apportioned to the budget.

Furthermore, please note that your company cannot sponsor a vacation - even if you own it 100%.

The money you need should be saved in your account, or wife's account or both of your accounts.

If you own the company and you have money saved there, you cannot use that money as proof of funds. You are expected to pay yourself a monthly salary and save from that monthly salary towards your trip.

I hope I'm not missing anything. Let us know if you need further support.

Thank you for your response.

I my previously approved visa, my company sponsored 80% of my trip, that's why I want to use the same method. I that application I stated my company, a sole proprietorship company, always avail me allowances like travel allowance, housing allowance etc. That's why i calculated the 20% which needs to be in my account and wife's.

My wife despite working elsewhere, gets monthly allowance from my company as her contributions to the suscess of the company.

Lastly, the company is sponsoring as a form of reward system to boost productivity.

Please help me vet this my revised budget for a family of 4 for 14 days. Wife has more than double of the 20% in her savings. Company closing bal is also more than double of the 80% cost of trip.

Is this budget reasonable?

giselle237:
where did I mention for a family please?

No, I'm just trying to let you know I'm won't be going alone.

giselle237:
If I was travelling… For the accommodation.. as long as it’s a hostel then this figure works. I would also rearrange, reduce or tweak the £400 allocated to gift and shopping as this is not a mandatory requirement.

Can't do hostel for family of 4.

Cashmadam:
You can't get ticket for 500 Pounds. Minimum will be about 800 Pounds

Accomodation is at least 50 Pounds per night

Others are okay.

wow! this will drive up my budget as it is a family trip.will be travelling with wife and two children. do i have to have a big budget for thier sake or just do individual budget also for the children under 12

Can someone help me with budget for like 10 days visit? I want to plan my budget to answer the question "how much are you spending on this trip".

Return ticket = £500
Accommodation = £350
Transportation = £180
Feeding = £250
Gift & Shopping = £400

Total = £1680

Did I miss any thing? Is it reasonable or too much?

Please help me fine tune this.

Pls did you send her own account statement? Because I want to apply for a family visa, I'm sponsoring my wife, she's working and earning salary, do I have to include her account statement?

Hello does anyone have an idea about the naira - dollar auction platform where those in USA pay your merchant, once your merchant confirms receipt, you then pay the US person in naira? I learnt the rate is far cheaper and because they cant easily get the fund to Nigeria, they opt for that option of paying someone in USA and getting naira value in Nigerian account.

Please help

Hello friends, good job you're all doing here.

Please I want to apply for UK visa for a family of 4, husband, wife and 2 children. Husband has been granted visa before. Wife and children will be first time applicant.

Please what documents do I need, what are the salient points I need to note?

Husband will be sole sponsor from sole company.

The baba needs to rest. May his soul rest in peace.

Why did he put a tyre on the leg of the cross?

ednut1:
2 of them have voluntarily returned to Nigeria

They will still go again. Stowaway don't stop, it's adventure for them.

Travel date March 10th - 18th

Please for the Gurus here, are my chances good?
Thank you and God bless in advance

Hello bro, were you granted the visa? How did it go?

Hold the people at the hospital management board responsible. They pay nurse 50k in Abuja hostiptals and pay doctors 80k. They deceive them that they will regularise their employment and they are left on that salary for up to 8 years, no benefit no salary increment. Go and verify.

Emmafe:
If you’re traveling with the whole family, tourism is fine. I’ve explained how to present a good application, if you can check my replies you’ll find it.

Purpose of visit
Enough pof
Home tie (job, business, investment, properties, extended family)
Good sop: explain why you’re going to Canada, list your trip itineraries etc.

Thank you for this more specific reply, I appreciate others too.

Now, I've travelled only to London last year but wife and the children have no travel history. I have a good job, wife is gainfully employed too and we have ties to Nigeria. Will the zero travel history for wife and children limit our chance?

I want to visit Canada with wife and two young children. Where do I start from. Help me house.

LZAA:
