codeninja: Hi Friends.

I got an invitation to attend a Software Developer summit in the UK in October.
The summit organizers are sponsoring my Travel and Hotel costs.

I just finished university (B.Sc.) in July, and not yet mobilized for NYSC. I have a part-time job in the university though. I dont have much considerable earnings though (average about N70k a month).

I want to access my chances of getting a business Visa.

I have a Letter of Invitation from the Summit Organizers.
I can get a letter of Introduction from my place of (part-time) work.
I have got a parents that have steady income in their accounts.
I traveled to the USA last year for a similar summit (while still a student though), but my passport went missing, so I have had to get a replacement.

Thanks

omobee23: Justwise, I am new on this forum. I am really trying to catch up with how to communicate well here.Seem not difficult at all. I have been given a UK Family Vist Visa after a year of appeal procedure. Finally BHC has withdrawn their initial decision and I have received my visa. In my last application that resulted into the refusal, I wanted to spend two weeks with my brother. Given the Visa, I want to spend three weeks vacation in the Uk with my brother's family this time. I hope there won't be any discrepancy at the aiport-that my last application says 2 weeks and ticket three weeks. i need to know befor e i buy my ticket.

wola44: Hello Justwise and Vicjustice,

wola44: Work as Telecom engineer & I am sponsoring my self .Also i am using my salary account.

SOTAJ: Dear All,
Please I have an issue bothering my mind. My wife and my 2 kids intend to travel to the U.K on holiday. My wife and my son (2yrs old) both have valid visas for the trip since this is not their first trip to the UK, but we need to get an entry clearance for my daughter cos she wasn't born the last time we all went to the UK on vacation (she is almost 2 months old).

I would like to ask the gurus in the house if she wouldn't be seen as too young for an entry clearance to be applied for, on her behalf by the entry clearance officer? ( My son was like 8 months old when we applied for his first visa in 2012)

Kindly assist ?

Justwise and Vicjustice, your inputs will be highly appreciated.

Thank you

fados4sure: You have been ban for 10yrs. I bet you, if you go now, they will arrest you

Olusola07: thanks all for your insight,but according to the refusal letter given to me at the embassy i dont think i have been banned cos it was also written there that any further future application will result to a ten years ban,and that is if i dont clarify myself concerning the forged document,so that was why i was given the chance to still review in other to show that the statement was a mistake.so i still have a chance of reapplying if i should get a letter from my bank that the statement was a mistake, but the appropriate time to reapply .please how do i get in touch with justwise?

Olusola07: i applied for a UK sport visitor visa,but it was refused solely on the fact that a forged bank statement was included,but due to my own ignorance,and was also stated that my right of appeal is limited.but there was no time to review it,so the 28 days given has gone what do you think i can still do.

StephGirl: Thanks VicJustice...Unfortunately if I have a better way of getting the info, I won't be here to ask.
It works slightly differently here than it does in Nigeria. For example, I would have submitted a postal application with a postal order for the application fee. I also would have booked for a priority application as everything is clearly specified. And if you are in doubt, you call or send an email and you will get a response. I have been calling the number provided on VAC website and it never went through. I also sent an email and got no response. Hence my being here seeking some help.
I thought you guys know more on how it works in Nigeria that's why I asked.
Thanks for the attempt to answer though.

kofsy: @ the bolded

But there is nothing God cannot do ooooo

Darla: good evening everyone. Please I have a question concerning the FAMILY VISITORS UK visa. I have all the necessary documents from my brother who works and has a family in England. I have been ill for almost 6months and before that,I worked for a company with lots of financial issues. Due to my illness, someone else was emplyed in my place. He wants me to come over and rest for a while. The change of environment will help me recover better. However,the issue is with convincing the authorities I will be coming back . I am only applying for a 6months visa. I don't have a job and d last payment to my account from this company was in January. I am not married. I am not a student. My last visa app was in 2010 as a student. Please I need ur advice. Thank u.

StephGirl: Hello Justwise and Vicjustice...I would be glad if someone would answer my query.
I am currently doing my PhD in the UK on a tier4 visa till 2016. I recently got married to a tier2 immigrant and would like to change to his dependant to save school fees costs especially. Unfortunately I have to do this in Nigeria. I plan to do this from Abuja soon.
My questions are:
1. Does the priority visa service apply to tier 2 dependants as well? I checked vac website and saw that tier 4 cannot use it, but nothing said for tier 2.
2. Assuming 1 is not possible, what is the expected processing time?
3. The visa fee should be paid at a Sterling bank as stated on their website, or has this changed?
4. A designated person can collect the visa when issued right?
5. If for whatever reason the visa is denied, what will happen to my current permit. Will it be cancelled?

Hope to hear a response soon.
Regards...

Raphel2011: Hi everyone, first ill like to appreciate the contributions and advice of everyone on this forum. God bless y'all.
I would like to know the processing time to renew uk visiting visa from lagos. I applied on the 5th of this month.
The truth of the matter is I'm kinda scared for some strange reasons. Some of the documents we submitted are:
My dad's statement of account showing he gets a pension of 350k every month and the balance on that account is about 400k. The balance in his other account is 1m. We included some agreements btw him and some of his tenants as well as evaluation cert from jide taiwo stating his 3 buildings worth over 130m. I also included my statement of account that shows I have about 9k dirhams(360k naira), my transcrip, and my school I.d just to show that I live in dubai and I won't wanna stay in their country. I and my fam go to the uk twice every year since 2004 and our previous visa's was 2yrs(2 times) and 5 years that expired 2 months ago. One of the things that bothers me is that in my mum's form, we stated there that she is supported by spouse who earns pension of 350k and rents of over 4m annually. Do you think we would have any problem with the visa renewal?
Any inputs would be appreciated.
Thanks for d anticipated reply.

alingo4life: He does not have access to the internet that's why am asking on he's behalf.so vicjustice,what would you advise we do

Thanks

alingo4life: Hello Guys,

Please can anybody put me through as to the requirements being required by the Nigerian Embassy in Washington or New-york for an American coming to Nigeria for Marriage.

I have a friend who's girlfriend who is an American wants to come to Nigeria for their wedding.I mean they want to get married in Nigeria.So we needed to know what are the things to be required by the Nigerian Embassy for an American coming here for Marriage.

Please put us through so we can know the next line of action...

Thanks

justwise: You can do without posting any personal details here, there is nothing about getting a visa that is secrete. Lets keep it open for the sake of transparency

solomonwis: It is not incorrect.

You only need to book an appointment when you are submitting a Tier 4 (student) Visa
https://www.vfs.firm.in/ng-apptsystem/appscheduling/appwelcome.aspx

solomonwis: Appointment is not necessary for visit visa application.

visa application fee for 6 months is N20,800

kofsy: Vicjustice, pls how long does it take for the embassy to review one's application, on the average.

Connoisseur: so could give any reason why you think emphasis was on my personal account?
also how soon can i reapply?
Someone said am having these problems cos my passport is a virgin passport

Connoisseur: You see every money i get goes back into the business so even though I make more than 350k monthly, there is no physical payment to me.
In my case, how do you think I should explain it to the visa officer cos I believe that was a major deciding factor.

About the company, they regret the inconvienence and are moving to reissue another invitation letter with a corresponding letter to their border office.

Connoisseur: every single one of them is geninue.

Connoisseur: Hello justwise

I recieved my application with a 'refusal of entry' clearance
Reason:
-The number on my invitation letter does not exist
-I stated I earn 350k monthly but the balance in my personal account does not justify that I would want to leave the UK willingly after my stay.

I applied for a visa on the 31st of july. i included;
-a letter of invitation from a company i deal with (including evidence of past transactions i.e. reciepts and invoices)
-evidence of company registration with the tax clearance
-minutes of meeting where the invitation letter was discussed and the company accepting to take full responsibility for the expenses
-a company account with a balance of almost 5m naira with a dom account in my personal name with a balance of £16k and a personal account of 700k naira
-marriage certificate and pictures, birth certificates for my twins
-title deeds for a property

If you can, would you explain where i went wrong with this apart from the number part, and how soon i could reapply so as not to appear desperate.

Thank you

Raphel2011: @justwise and olu1234567, thanks a ton for your swift replies. God in his infinite mercies will bless you.
Something important came to my mind yesterday and its been bothering me ever since. I remember about 3 years ago, i was refused a canadian study permit. The problem now is i didnt include that in my application( i think there was a part that asked if you have been refused visa before) and that has been bothering me.
Do you think they might find out and refuse my application because of that?

brownid: Hi guys, i need your advice. My brother is planning of going to Dubai to hustle and i have tried to stop him but he refuse to listen to me. He has no degree but only diploma and has no hand work too. Please is it a good move? Can he survive in Dubai through Hustling and do jobs there pay good?
