wishlolia: seems vick and ikebe are starting up a romance here.

dideoluayantund: Can some one please help: I have a British wife and daughter,was in the uk illegally,charged for driving without license and charged but did not attend court before returning to Niaja at my expense as advice by my lawyer.I once applied but did not have a proof for paternity so was refuse based on this reason and that of the pending charges.After the appeal the judge rules that the pending charges can not be use as reason for my exclusion.I am working presently and my wife does,my salary is well above the threshold.pls how do i deal with the pending charges and what are my chances.pls help.

Asorock 1: I have read from this forum, of someone saying that his Aunty was refused a UK visa 5 times or there about until she included a consent letter from the husband to travel.

Again why do the ECO's normally states that the have taken into consideration that the applicant wants to travel alone and stay in a hotel, expecially to married applicant

Is it such a bad idea to include a consent letter from my wife that i'm to travel alone, where i will be staying and when i'm to return back to Nigeria.

Asorock 1: For the bolded part, I don't know what to do , a bit confused, justwise in my previous post stated that tax clearance certificate is not needed by employees but is very important for business owners or self employed.

Is there anyone here who has gotten a UK tourist visa without presenting the tax clearance or with only the pay slip

Asorock 1: Please I don't understand what you mean drastic. Did I say anything wrong

Dis Guy: a bit drastic

tupengo: Hi Nairaland,my name is Oluwaseun and have tried South Africa visa twice in the month of October an November respectively which I have being denied.My question is can I still use my passport to reapply for the same country or is no more valid,and how can I get a genuine agent to processeed the visa for me easily and guarantee,please @everybody tell me what to do,am not myself anymore

Asorock 1: Hello my people, Vicjustice, justwise , fellow nairlands ok here i am again,I'm almost set for my UK application, please i want to outline the documents i will be submitting, and please my dear brothers and sisters kindly advice on what to add and what to substract.

-Letter of introduction from my employer
- A copy of my passoprt
- confirmed Flight Reservation ( not paid)
- Itinary (showing all the places of interest/events and days i will be visiting in london,UK and means of inward transportation)
- copy of my work ID card
- Land receipt/survey plans and power of attorney.
-Marriage certificate
-bank statement( 6 months from June to November) with balance of 1.1m naira showing regular income of 145k naira.
-Hotel reservation(7 nights)
-letter of consent from my wife that i'm to travel to london for vacation ( although i drafted that and will have my wife to sign it, however i would like see a sample letter of consent that will be more suitable, i want to know if i'm on the right track, please someone if not everyone should help me draft one)
-Personal visa application letter
-pay slips( 6 months , May to October)
-family pictures
-my son's NPC birth certificate

1.) Please what's the best answer to this question: why in particular i have chosen the UK for holiday at this ? I don't seems to find a perfect and well constructive answer to give to this question.

2.) again do i have to start filling the places i will be visiting at the space provided for it or to refer the ECO to my typed ITINARY? if yes how do i state that to refer him/her to it

3.) hope i'm good to go without a Tax clearance card as my pay slip shows tax deductions from my employer.

4.) now what do I feel on the part tha ask what money is your property is ? I mean do i state the value of my lands in naira or to convert it to dollars and state there ?

Hmmmm Vicjustice, justwise , my dear brothers and sisters i don't want to face anymore rejection, mek una tell me now if there is anything that will work against me

i have already told una about my budget of 1382 APP. 1400 pounds for this trip, if you are the ECO how will you see that for a married man with a 1 year old kid.

I'm anticipating for urgent replies and answer to my questions.

God bless you.

curiobling: hi, i just received my acceptance to present in an annual conference in US in February 2014. Am currently an undergrauate student, i hav no assets, no saving, not married. My sch intend to sponsor my trip to bring the glory back to them. What supplemental do i need to win the heart of the ECO? Advice pls

Asorock 1: Cheers!!!! Thanks so much SOTAJ, but on a closer look at that budget, if you are the ECO what you gonna think?
Do you think that budget is realistic

Ok now another question, on that part where the form ask how much do you spend on family members and dependant.

ii.) how much do you spend personally on monthly bases.

You can agree with me that this Questions are technical


This is for a friend who also wish to apply for UK visa and he is a bachelor who ends 130k and he doesn't have a fix amount he spend on monthly bases or to the family members.

What's the best figures he can put in there


Give me a more logical and better answer to give on this questions to suite so as not spoil the visa chance.

Thanks and God bless.

Dramadiddy: hello guys, i applied for uk settlement visa on the 31st of october, im goin as a dependant cus ma uncle is in the uk.... but since then i havent gotten any text apart from the "your visa application has been received for processing".. was just wondering if anyone could give me an updated time as to which the application process will be completed...waiting for ur responses...thanks

Asorock 1: You shouldn't conclude just like that, you are not here with me to know my circumstances, what are you thinking? That anybody that comes here to seek for advice is poor or something, I have to be honest with you, somehow you should work on your public relation, You sound harsh at times if not always, I have over a million naira in that account with regular and consistence income, I also have investment worth millions not bragging anyway, you should try to correct the manner in which you answer or follow people's post here, NOBODY KNOWS IT ALL. Thanks for your reply and I appreciate.

Asorock 1: [/b]

I'm not sure i quite understand that bolded part vicjustice, the 20k is not an issue to me, I'm just asking to know if the ECO will see it as an issue since i have never had anyone depositing or transferring money into that account except my employer, access bank was having network issues that day so i requested my friend to pay the money into the account. So what you mean by that bolded part once again

Asorock 1: Vicjustice, justwise and the house please I intend to book a hotel reservation for 7 days ,will I be able to do this with my ATM visa debit card either with the access bank or fidelity bank, I activated I pin for the access bank card but haven't tried to use it for any online transactions yet. Or should I tell my brother in US to book it for me. Will this pose a problem in anyway?

Again I printed my statement of account clearly showing my salary payed in into my account by my employer though on cash deposit but on my employers name, I was going through the previous post and I saw where somewhere stated the reasons the ECO refused his application and mention cash deposites though i don't know if is money lodgment.

I have a friend of mine whom I lent 20,000 naira and he paid the money back on June and that also reflected on my statement of account , and its the only money credited on a different name other than to my employer's name. I hope this wont be a problem

mojisolani: Are you saying I should not submit now? What should I do pls explain better

mojisolani: Am single and I work as a programme and event manager in my organisation,have been to Ghana and Tazania on business visa.
Pls what are my chances on the application with bal of 200k of acount.like I said.my brother is inviting me,and he stated that am coming to attend his daughter dedication and son birthday, And he stated that he would bear my trips, he had send all the document needed including his tenancy agreement and bank statement and his pay slip.
I want to submit the application this month.pls advice

Asorock 1: So what are you saying justwise? What's the best thing to do now ?

Asorock 1: Please justwise, Vicjustice and other gurus in the house, I want to ask if i can print a statement of account from my bank today and use it for UK visa application in a week or 2 weeks time

Or alternatively if the UK embassy will accept a statement of account from June to October (5 months) showing my regular monthly income and withdraw cos I'm afraid that the balance in my account will reduce to 800,000naira ( exlusive of november salary) which might be seen as insufficient for a week trip once i pull out the 1.1m naira I intend to use to finish up the deal on my 2 plots of land worth 3m naira and Note i will also include the receipt , power of attorney and paper surveys of the land.

I'm thinking of printing the statement at 1.1m closing balance and will withdraw another 300000 today after the statement. Is this a good idea Or it doesn't matter
