Ruggedbaba: I repeat that you didn't read the post. You are implying that I am lying or posting under false pretense! I will hide from who? Has any one on this thread ever paid for my vacation? He is going for his second Masters degree.Perhaps, you want me to post his name and citation from Imperial College, London,then , we can ascertain who is the illiterate! Everyone on this thread as well , does not know how to use the Internet because by your understanding and logic,a person who knows how to use the Internet will not bother to be on this thread, all he has to do , is to Google it! Gluckauf!
A beautiful woman will not get offended if someone calls her "ugly", she'd just laugh it off: but an ugly woman takes offense if call ugly.
Ruggedbaba: It is distasteful and your reply leaves a sour taste in the mouth because it is clear that you didn't read my post. My firm only send local staff to study at Gubkin,Russia or TU Clausthal, Germany. He got admission on his own at Austria,hence he is pursuing it , without backing from the Legal Department. So, if you can't make a positive comment, it is more matured to let it slide.
I read your post and i got the contents. But the question remains: why are you the one striving for your "colleague", doesn't he know how to use the internet himself? I don't see what is offensive in what i wrote except that you feel i shouldn't point out the non-existing person that you put into the picture
folashade1111: I said No. But it is actually no because we are all travelling at different dates because of our various work schedules . ie. i intend to travel 23rd, my sister 21st, my brother 20th. Please i need a reply asap as i'm about to book my appointment for tomorrow. Also, do you know if a re-application takes long to process?
folashade1111: They said a certain amount of money entered my account and there was no proof of source, and that was the last transaction before i printed my statement. I have sorted that out now. I just don't want them to refuse me again so that is why i am thinking of attaching my siblings and mum's visa/ticket pages.
You have just committed a violation called MONEY LODGEMENT, this is an express ground for REFUSAL. You can not get a visa with such account unless you are able to give a satisfying evidence of the legitimate source of the money.
Anyway, it is worthwhile to declare that you are all together in this trip howbeit travelling on different days. Regarding whether re-application takes longer, well, NO, it takes just as long as it takes to apply for a visa.
folashade1111: Hello, I'm new to nairaland. Just a quick question, I applied for a family visit visa to spend christmas with my sister who is a british citizen. I was refused. Now i want to re-apply. The question is, my other siblings and my mom also applied(we did not apply together) and they all got theirs. I did not mention it in my initial application that the entire family would be going to the uk for christmas, but now that i'm the only one that got refused, i want to know, can i attach my siblings and my mum's visa pages and their tickets? just to show that it is a family visit and i will be coming back?. When they asked me why i was traveling, i told them i want to spend Christmas with my family.Please i need an urgent reply! Thanks
Well, every application is treated in its own merit. In the part of the application form that says, "is any one else traveling with you?" What was your answer?
ritaliciously: Hello House, please i would like to find out for a friend who wants to renew his UK visa. he has applied before, got the first 6months muliple entry for family visa, he also applied again and got the 2year visa. Both were on invitation from his uncle. Now he wants to renew for another 2yrs. On teleperformance, is he going to apply like he is applying afresh even though its another renewal, cos there is nothing that shows renewal on their site. pleasde guys that have renewed successfully kindly assist.
Why is your friend not asking all these by himself?
omabroowniee: Just a question please.If someone has applied to come to the UK as a tourist and has booked a hotel in London,he is issued a visa but later changes his mind about staying in a hotel and decides to stay with family in Birmingham,that means he's going to travel through Birmingham.Does this pose a problem?
If immigration officers at the port of entry detect the changes, you may have to explain why so: if your explanation is satisfying, it would be ok. But if they sense that you're trying to outsmart them, then you would be stopped and deported. But even if you change your mind about your place of stay, it would be a big risk to cancel the hotel reservation which you declared during your visa application: immigration officers do check with hotels for verification
tunaro: Plz guyz...I really do need ur help...a family friend of ours is inviting me over to london...he's a red passport holder...he asked for some documents like school certificate,passport number,passport photograph,my full name,my parents full name,address,state of origin and their dates of birth which I've sent...he said he would book an appointment for me right from london and he would do the visa interview on my behalf but said I should get a bank statement ready...he said he would send some documents to me thru dhl which I would submit together with my passport and bank statement to the UK embassy here in lagos...but worry now is...I don't have a job and I don't have a dime in my bank account...My dad's bank statement is not that rich due to his low business activities....I told the man helping me and he said I should try and get maybe a local govt bank statement if I know someone in d local govt beside me...sincerely I'm really disturbed as this seems to be d only problem I'm having with this whole visa stuff....please I need ur help...I don't want to bug that man with all dis problem,I want to try and fix things in order to make everyfin go smoothly....plz guyz I need ur help asap...what should I do,what is the way forward for me?
First of all, that "family friend" is a 419 con man. Now, the thing that you call "the only problem" is in fact the whole lot problem: when visa application is concern, there is no greater problem than not having money in your bank as a result of joblessness
sabrinaqueenzy: Hello house please ,I need an urgent response,I applied for UK tourist visa and I was refused, I am a student and also own a store, my store is registered(CAC) and I have a TIN number, when I wanted to apply I collected letter from my school,stating am a final year student going for Xmas holls to be back in 2 weeks before my graduation in march 2015,and I backed this up with all my school document. I filled my form and made a mistake :in the part where I was asked how much I receive monthly I filled 100,( I was thinking it was in naira which is 100k, I forgot it was in pound which is 26600k) and In my personal account I had 1mplus. I sell expensive hair n cream, the money that enters my account varies,as some months I have more while in other months I have little money. And again I was asked wen I started business I wrote 4/sep /2013, which was actually when I started,I put documents to back it up like, local government shop permit, LASAA original receipt,shop rent receipt,agreement form,and all my back dated receipt I have used to purchase goods,and also with pictures of me in my store n what i sell.I submitted my form and my result came out in 7 working day Refused. The Eco said he refused me becos he is not satisfied with my account statement, he said I stated I have started business in 4/sept /2014( he made a mistake, I stated in the form I started business 4/sept/2013). And that I receive monthly income of 100 pounds, and I have 1m plus in my account, he is not sure of the genueity of the source of fund provided. He doesn't think I will return from the UK as stated by me, now my agent who help me befwith?aid he will attach a review and I will reapply immediately. Since I stated am going on the 20th of Dec 2014/ that they can still give me if I reapply. Please I will really appreciate if I get immediate response .thanks in anticipation.
How much money would you say you earn monthly on average? Look, you can't be seeking advice from us if you already have an "agent" who dictates what goes... By the way, what is the agent helping you with?
pls help with this, if there is money inflow into one's salary account apart from one monthly salary , can that cause a problem if one wants to apply for visa. Thanks
There would be no problem if the monies are from legitimate and verifiable sources
Justaino97: please @ boss vicjustice I applied for an irish visa but I was refused with the following reasons
CP:- need to undertake the course in this state not demonstrated or warranted
F:- finances:- evidence provided is deemed insufficient or incomplete. The applicant has provided details that his uncle will cover his full costs. Insufficient evidence of why the sponsor of would pay the applicant rather than his own direct family is not shown. Evidence of relationship to sponsor is also not provided.
ID:- insufficient documentation submitted in support of the application
OB:- obligations to return to home country have not been deemed sufficient
OC:- condition - The potential cost of the trip is high in comparison to the applicants means, and given that no compelling reasons for the trip have been displayed, the visa officer is not satisfied of your intentions to leave the state following your visit.
OC:- observe the conditions of visa - the visa sought is for a specific purpose and duration:- the applicant has not satisfied the visa officer that such conditions would be observed. SP:- gaps in education or employment not accounted for. No evidence of education or employment since June 2013
Vicjustice, for that last one, I have not been employed nor went to school during this period so please what do I do because I need to appeal...... A reply would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much
What are your circumstances like, and on what ground are you appealing the decision?
Ruggedbaba: A colleague of mine is in a conundrum . He got admission to study Masters in Austria, and also on company sponsorship. Since company policy rejects the use of company bank accounts for staff welfare, the money is usually transferred into the account of the Welfare Manager, who is also his Uncle. 3 million Naira was transferred prior to his application . The Alien Office at Austria contacted him through their Embassy in Nigeria, that he has to show more financial proof. He sent them a bank statement of 3 months ( that's d rule, not 6 months ), closing balance of 2.1 million Naira . He is worried about his chances of getting his permit! @ all, I will like to hear from you all!
Doesn't your "colleague" know how to use the internet himself?
managingpartner: @ vicjustice, i applied for a UK visa in May 2014, but i was refused a visa because my invitee used a signature that was different from the one on his bio data page. To be candid, i never saw the difference until it was pointed out. All effort to make him sign his real signature did not end well. The visa officer said that the signature does not look authentic. I want to re apply but i want to use another friend of mine. What are my chances? Thank you.
In this circumstance, swapping from one inviting person to another (within a very short period of time) is a very good indication of your desperation to travel to the UK, therefore, your intention is very suspicious. By the way, you don't need invitation from anyone in order to apply for a visa, therefore, you can do without asking anyone for invitation letter. Book a hotel
ssa: Good day friends. Please I want information regarding applying for UK visa. In 2005, I applied for UK student visa and was rejected. I appealed the decision and lost the appeal. I want to reapply for a student visa using the new e-passport with same name and but different date of birth. I have used my new passport to travel to South Africa, Senegal and Ethiopia. I also have a valid kenyan tourist visa. Please I want expert advice if I need to answer yes to the question " Have you been rejected entry to the UK"? since I will be using a different passport with same name but different date of birth.
There's no way that you can escape the repercussions of this fraud if you ever applied for a visa for any European or western country. so, it is better you apply now and get your ban or you just have to forget about European countries for good.
I know that the guy may look disgusting, but, please, don't look away, just look at his determination to live and find a place in your heart to show mercy
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d3OOrVY9mUA This is a 20 years old young man in Kenya, yet, i believe that Nigerians can help as well. Please, find a place in your heart to donate for this poor guy in such a terrible situation: O, how amazing would it be for the Kenyans to know that Nigerians are concerned and have moved with compassion...

Fumike: sorry i should av said dat.this is d only problem giving me sleepless night.the money has being in my account since d beginning of d year.should i just ask the bank to issue me a 1 month bank statement or i av 2 go 2ru anoda process and my school is resuming 5 jan and i want everytin 2 work out fine.
If my understanding in accurate, the 28 days stuff is for those who are being sponsored, but since you have the money, and it is already in your account, you should be fine
Fumike: thanks what of the 28 days rule,does it apply 2 me.should i still wait for 28 days or i should just apply today since d money hasn't reduce past 5m since d beginning of the year.
You didn't state that you're applying for student visa nor did you state who is sponsoring you. Well, if yyou're sponsoring yourself, then, I suppose you can reason it out whether the 28 days rule applies in your circumstance or not.
Fumike: please i need help on the issue of proof of funds.what proof do i need is it bank statement proving i have all the funds.cos i have 8m in my account and i just need 5m for both course fees and maintanance.the money hasn't drop 5m since the beginning of the year.should i just present a bank statement or i have to go through another process.
Yes, bank statement (with consistency) as well as the evidence of the (legitimate) origin of the money in it.
godsong: . @justwise good morning sir , please I would need Ur good advice , a friend of mine studying in uk invited me for his masters graduation , we were close friends in the University, my circumstance is that I am an agent to a school in cyprus and I get commission for referring student to the university in north cyprus ,I am not registered here in nigeria but I have a certificate issued to me by the school and also proof of students been sent to the University, I also work par time with my uncle who is into sales of cars, he gives me money monthly and I also get commissions on sales of cars i market,I have above 700k in one of my savings account , tho I stopped withdrawing from that like last month and do most of my withdraws in another savings account with 120k,I also have a domiciliary account which has 1800 usd ,the money in that account is my tuition fee refund sent by a school in Turkey which I intend to do my masters but was denied because the school deadline has passed before my visa interview.please sir kindly advice on what docs to submit .i await Ur helpful responsesir.

brickfield1: Thank U chief, I will also like to know if der is any document that comes with the invitation letter, E.g biometric page of d passport of d person sendin it, I'd card, SSN and some other vital information.. Another tin I wan to know is, is it only citizen that can send the invitation letter. Thank U
Sure, there should be some documents that actually verified who the inviting person claims to be. In Europe and America etc, invitation aren't done by citizens only, a person with legal status can invite someone. I don't know about Asia etc
LOUDmedia: Thanks for this post. It's indeed helpful. I have a question: Can a Sole Proprietorship company be used to write a letter of invitation inviting someone into Nigeria from abroad? Or must it be a Limited Liability Company?
Yes, any legal entity can invite someone, and such company can give out invitation, but whether it is approved or not is a different thing
Amosiye: Thanks for the reply sir. But I still don't understand d terms used. Pls can u come down to my level of understanding. thanks. should I just use 1 sponsor(uncle) and some thing like a support letter/letter of consent from my mum.?
Amosiye: ok sir, so lemme just mk it one sponsor(my uncle). But any need for the lettet of support and consent from my widowed mum.
Gone are the days when uncles are recognized as legitimate sponsors, but with new requirements, unless the uncle is a legal guardian and he can demonstrate what he will gain from sponsoring your study, he will be deemed as inappropriate sponsor, and that would mean REFUSAL
Amosiye: Oga. Vicjustice I greet u sir. Thanks for all ur reply., God bless
Pls help me sort this out * can I hv 2 sponsors. My widowed mum and my paternal uncle..... In d previous refusal I had only my uncle. But I just feel including my mumcy will be better.
* if both will be possible, will both SOA be mandatory.
Or better of what's ur advice in this step
Thanks.
It is allowed to do whatever you want in applying for a visa, but that doesn't make it likely to get the visa. Now, using two sponsors only reveal one thing: and that is, neither you nor your sponsors are financially imposing enough to be capable of taking the cost responsibilities without assistance, and that won't look good.
eniboi: 10s Oga vicjustice its all about latvia studies , i have already enrol to riga technical uni and i have received my conditionally accepted offer package and my result has gone for validation , here is the issue now on my WAEC CERTIFICATE THE DATE OF BIRTH ON IT IS DIFFERENT FROM THE ONE ON MY PASSPORT AND I HAVE A THIRD NAME INCLUDED ON MY WAEC CERTIFICATE WHICH IS NOT ON MY PASSPORT , PLS OGA VICJUSTICE I WANT YOU TO ADVICE ME ON WHAT TO DO , SO I WONT HAVE A PROBLEM WHEN I AM APPLYING FOR MY VISA. THANKS ALOT
Please, be considerate to use standard spellings. Well, bear in mind that the number one personal verification method in Europe is a person's Date Of Birth, therefore, as far as international matter is concerned, these two documents (your birth certificate and your passport) can never be used together: you have to get one sorted to match the other.
Amosiye: Thanks for the reply. The skool is giving me 7 days supplementary accomodation. Which is clearly stated of my offer letter. After that 7 days I intend moving to my family frends house. So I can den settle down to look for a suitable accomdtion. Should I bring in my family frend, with introduction letter and biodatapage of irish passport. Or is there any other way I can handle the accomodation issue. Or how is the accomodation issue handled in the visa application.?
Things to consider are: 1) The Location of the family friend's accommodation 2) Tenancy agreement document and utility bills in his name 3) Adequate room availability 4) Property owner's consent document. 5) Documented terms and conditions of your staying. If he has all the mentioned, then, you can declare him, otherwise, he is irrelevant to your application
eniboi: @ Oga vicjustice mawin Sir , I really need your help and advice on some travelling related issues I ve sent you a lot of pm's which you didn't respond to , can you pls drop your contact details so I can discuss this issues with u.
I'm sorry, but I don't respond to private messages when I know that the matter of concern can be addressed here: if you really need my attention, you would state the "travel related matter" here. But if you are contacting me for other matters different from what I'm already offering here, then I would consent
Amosiye: Boss dem in the house. I am currently applying for my study visa. I wanna know if it is necessary to include flight itenerary. And if its necessary can I book a return ticket of after 18 months
Amosiye: Boss justwise and victjustice. . . I greet u sirs , either of ur assisstance dey needed in this thread. 1 I am applying for irish study visa, my previous visa was refused earlier, so I wanna repackage my self again nd reapply.. about the accomodation issue, my skool is giving me 7 day suplementary free accomodation. Its clearly stated on my offer letter. Can I include the details of my family friend in ireland. With an introduction letter. Stating that they will be assiting me look for an accomodtion upon my arrival. ?
It is not a requirement to make flight itinerary, and as a student visa applicant, other itineraries are not necessary for you. Do not make the mistake of booking a flight before your visa is issued, your money would be forfeited if your visa is refused. It is also unnecessary to bring the "family friend" into the picture, he will be useless in this situation unless he is the one accommodating you
stevecrun: Good day,people!! Please,I'd like to know if I need a transit visa while waiting for my connecting flight at Manchester international Airport. I have a USA student visa,with my visa can I leave the airport cause I have a long long wait at the airport in Manchester..I will arrive by 12.45pm in Manchester and wait till 11am the following day for my connecting flight to New York. I hope to get candid replies.
You can travel to the US via a UK airport without a transit visa provided you stay at the airport even if your onward flight is several days away, but you need a transit visa to leave the airport
