I prefer simple fan heaters like the above. Instant blast of heat, easy to turn off/on and move around.

Thanks very much!

Hi everyone,

I remember there were some portable heaters recommended a while back but can't seem to find them.

Please any recommendation for an energy efficient bedroom heater will be highly appreciated.

Thanks!

To be frank anything that will cause headache with regards finances or cast aspersions on the credibility of the funds you are putting before them should be properly ironed out.

You are right, however, since the investment certificate will most likely date at least 2years back since she said she made the investment in her year 3, I believe it shouldn't cause much issues as it's evidently not done for the purpose of this application.

Also given that there is a column for her to input additional income, she can declare allowances from family and friends. This can prove source of investment funds and also as she earns about 190k and she doesn't spend much from it as she says, there must definitely be money coming from elsewhere that takes care of her expenses.

My thoughts though but you and other gurus can give more insight.

Exbb:
Thank you so much for your feedback!
I am grateful.
Please when you said I should declare my investment do you mean I should attach my investment letter from the investment firm to my application? I have it handy

Again the fund I used for those investments I got it from dash( na give de give me) how do I proof where I got the money from because it was since when I was year 3

For my masters I am considering Canada, I don't want UK.
I have travelled to Tanzania and Kenya, I don't know if that is a enough travel history.
My parents have say over my life oh, they are my sponsor and they are strong Christian 😂
So when you said I will marry him from there and never come back, I laughed because my parents will never approve such marriage.

My contribution to this is that you should say that you are staying for a week just as you plan as it will even help your chances. Increasing your planned length of stay will only decrease your chances.

As someone earlier pointed out, the minimum validity of your visa is 6months so you don't need to increase your originally planned stay of one week to get that.

Also, it will be nice to declare your investments and savings so it also builds up your personal finances.

All the best!

Thanks a lot for your response. Please will it be possible to pay for the upgrade at tls office if it’s needed after declining the notification to upgrade online?

Not sure about this, you can check the TLS website. I have only either paid for premium online or not at all. I haven't explored paying at the office.

TLS website shows which payment can be collected at the office and which is strictly online.

ganiruogene:
Please when you pay for premium lounge, does it include scanning and uploading your documents? Or do you need to pay for assisted service again?

You will need to pay separately for assisted service if you need it. Assisted service is not part of premium service.

ganiruogene:
Also please is Regular with available upgrade to premium mean?

It means you have the option to upgrade/pay for premium. However this upgrade is not compulsory, you can use it to book a regular appointment, just decline the upgrade notification when it pops up if you don't want the upgrade.

JaySterling:
what’s your rate? And is it cash or transfer?

Transfer, I sent you a DM

What's your rate? I have

I have the Maeco 12litre low energy dehumidifier (the low platinum range ones) I got last year. To be honest, it’s my best investment last year. The funny thing is you will be surprised at how humid your house is even when you are not seeing any sign or mold.

The magic part is the air purifier that helps our young man sleep smoothly when he has flu. Till date, it’s the best money I spent in the UK.

I always forget to share the good news about the product. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks

Better to use closer date and amend later because if they check at the border you will have no justification for stating a 5 months stay if that was not what was on your form.
1 month, 2 months fine… not 5 or 6 months. You give them reason to doubt your intentions and a border officer has all the power to deny you entry. They usually open your visa forms at the border if they want to question you. Personally for me if it is a very long stay you can not justify that your circumstances just changed especially if you have written you have an employment u will be returning to. I would hence book for shorter and change later.
Don’t do penny wise, pounds foolish untop immigration wahalaaa

Thanks very much for this.

Cashmadam:
For a first time traveller, yes. For a frequest traveller, No.

Even as a frequent traveller, sometimes they query a long stay.

Wow, that means it's best to buy an amendable ticket and then move the date further after arrival.

Thanks for your response.

Hi everyone,

Please for return ticket, will there be issues at POE if the return date is 4 or 5months away. Or does one have to use a closer date and then amend the ticket later.

My sister have just be refuse uk visa want can she do when she reply again


I have refused your application for a visit visa because I am not satisfied that you meet the
requirements of paragraph(s) 4.2 of Appendix V: Immigration Rules of visitors because:
• You have applied to visit the United Kingdom for 10 days for a family visit. In
assessing your application. I have considered the information provided, your
personal and financial circumstances and the credibility of your trip in the context of
its timing and your stated intentions.
• You state that you are employed by *******''***as a
Marketing Manager earning 320,000.00 NGN (340.93 GBP) per month. I
acknowledge you have provided employment letters and payslips in support of your
application. Having examined the payslips submitted however, I note a discrepancy
in the total earnings amount stated and the net amount after deductions. The
document states total earnings of 355,500.00 NGN less total deductions 35,540.00
NGN which does not amount to 320,000.00 NGN but to 319,960.00 NGN. This
discrepancy undermines the overall credibility of your application. I am therefore not
satisfied that you are employed or remunerated as stated.
• Furthermore, in your application you state you have no other savings and no one
else is contributing towards the cost of your trip. You state that you intend to
personally spend 1,700,000.00 NGN (1811.20 GBP) on your visit as declared. I note
that this amounts to more than five times your monthly income. I am not satisfied this
form of expenditure is proportionate to your circumstances as stated nor am I
satisfied of your intentions and whether you will leave at the end of your proposed
trip.
• Given the above, I am not satisfied that you are genuinely seeking entry as a visitor
and that you intend to leave the UK at the end of your visit. Your application is
therefore refused under paragraph’s V 4.2 (a) and (c) of the Immigration Rules.
Rate of exchange 1 GBP = 938.606 NGN reference www.oanda.com on 20/10/2023

This is sad, so approximation is also an issue cos these figures are literally the same.

I assume the refusal is mainly cos the amount to be spent is X5 of her monthly income as she didn't declare any savings. It would have been nicer if the family she is visiting were sponsoring.

How about home ties, was that also strongly represented?

koonbey:
This is wrong.

I just checked and both Home Office emails I have that have issued new BRPs since my original student one and they both required me to cut up any previous BRP into quarters and send to them.

I've pasted the excerpt in my comment above this.

I think you misunderstood her comment. She is actually telling people same thing you are saying "cut and return".

Onyiiiiibeke:
Good day all. Can I book an appointment date first whilst I am still gathering documents for my self service documents online upload? Or must I upload my documents first before I can secure an appointment date? ( Self service option) thank you

You can book an appointment date, however, strive to upload your documents at least 48hours before the appointment.

Thanks to everyone for their input here and for the guy who gave idea on properly formatting all documents in a pdf with table of contents. I think it helps with straightforwardness of applications.

Used same method for my mum and sister in-law's mum's visas and both were granted.

Standard visas gotten in about 5working days. Abuja and Portharcourt TLS.

Thanks be to God and to the wonderful people here answering questions.

Good afternoon

I want to ask, my friend is making application for his mother but there was a mistake he made when he's doing his own application, like, when they asked about his mother name and date of birth, he made mistake with name and date of birth of his mother.
The date of birth is 1970 but he filled 1965 while the name is *TAIWO AGEEbut he filled BASIRAT AGEE
Although the mother bear the same name but on birth certificate is TAIWO AGEE.



is it going to have any implications ob her Visit visa.
@cashmadam@giselle and other gurus pls help.
He was on cross road now

She can swear an Affidavit of facts stating she is one and same person with both names and stating which name is the preferred name going forward. Also state the correct date of birth in the affidavit.

Hi everyone,

Please is there a way to contact UKVI for update on a Tier 2 change of employer visa application done inside the UK?

The application was done 8weeks ago.

Thanks.

Cashmadam:

Thanks.

Hi everyone, is it advisable to submit a UK savings account bank statement as financial proof to support mother's visit?

The Savings account usually just has savings moved into it. No much transactions. The salary account is usually depleted every month as money is removed for expenses and all the rest moved into the savings account.

Thanks.
