justwise: There is something odd about the driver who filmed this, mutted, no attempt to call for rescue, is as if he brought the plane down and enjoyed watching it.

SimpleJetty: Have his bio data gathered at sent to the British embassy. I am sure they can fish out his finger prints and that's all that will be needed by the met police. They'll have him tracked down without delay. But for them to do this, you've got to proof that truely you guys were scammed by the accused. Also browse for the met police contact email. I'm sure if you forward some info about him, he'll be tracked without delay. Also spice up your claims. This I'm sure will get them gingered to swing into action. I detaste such pple with passion

ManTiger: Do you have previous picture of him?
If you're hell bent of seeing your guy, I'll suggest you storm Telecomm and provide his data.
They'll help you pull data on him and see through pictures of what they've gotten,
from there, you get his mobile and ring him.
This is one of the reasons why we have data capturing and stuffs.

dannydolly: Hello House, your advice will be really appreciated on my situation before proceeding on renewing my UK visa. My situation goes thus...

I'm a public servant earning around 120k monthly. Last year June, I applied for a 6months general visa and I got the visa courtesy a friend's invitation having his graduation ceremony but then, my dad had an ILR but not able to invite me or any member of the family because he was surviving on public funds, NHS and council flat because of his poor health. In fact, he got his ILR outside immigration laws because of his poor health.

I collected my package at the vfs after my friends graduation and proceeded with the journey and also visited my dad at the hospital.(Please note, I didn't mention him as an ILR holder in my application). At the POE, I had some issues with them on why coming at the olympics time, why taking the London route when my friend that invited me is in Manchester, how do u get there? But I was able to get through all that after they placed a call to him. (It was really an hectic situation). I came back after 5 weeks of summer enjoyment ( I filled in my forms to use 2 week).

Then, the real issue came up... On the 21st of November, 2012 my dad passed on.I had no choice than to agree to go and get his body back home for burial because no other person has the necessary clearance documents and/visa to go. Then, 1st of Dec I was there but had no choice than to tell them at the POE that I'm there for my dads body after he passed on at a London hospital. She asked if I have my return ticket which I showed her and she asked me to go with no other questions asked.

Now, my questions...
I want to renew for a 2 years visa, do I still ask that same friend of mine to provide me with an invitation letter again? Or should I just proceed with an hotel reservation and all other documents I submitted earlier?

When filling the form, should I refer to my dad as deceased? Won't I need to present his death certificate? Is that not going to be use to trace his status and thereby affecting my application? I asked this because, I collected his death cert in London and I'm afraid they might run some check on him.

Does my experience at the POE have any relationship with my application most especially the second time I made reference to my dad's death? Do they contact them at the POE for applicant's details when they pass there?

I brought in some right hand vehicles and I intend using the money realised from them to get to the minimum amount required as the balance in my account. Should I spread the payments like paying 80k into my account with different names and maybe at 2 days interval till I have the required amount. I asked this because there is no way I'm going to defend a vehicle sold as I'm not a dealer and having such a lump sum in my account at a time.

Lastly, I took a loan while going in Dec towards the cost of repartriation of my dad's body back home and now I'm paying back till October.(Family not bouyant enough to contribute for this, I had no choice than to take up the loan) Should I wait till then before renewing when I will have my full salary back in my account monthly considering the fact that up to 60k is being deducted from my salary and I have a wife and kid.
N/B: I have 2 taxi that delivers up to 90k monthly. Can I also include the taxi documents in the application? They are registered in my name. I also have a cooperative card that shows my savings at work too. Is this acceptable?

I know some of my questions sound stupid but I'm sure it is better to ask a stupid question than make a stupid mistake.

Thanks all for your contributions and anticipated enlightenment.

superior1: There is no need to, i don't see where fraud applies to the scenario and Banks don't tell embassy the amount in a customers account.

phemobay: justwise, please is it compulsory someone should leave money in d account after printing d statement for visa purpose... cos when i printed my statement i later remove d money, do u tink dis can pose an issue?

shessyfavour: Hello Justwise and Vicjustice, Please do you remember my case? Well, I am about to reapply probably next month and i would like to know if i can change to family visitor i have a step brother who has sent me invitation and necessary documents but my concerns is during the previous applications i have never indicated i had a family in UK in my tourist form but i just discovered i do after the last application 7 months ago so i would like to know if i can change to family visitor from tourist then i can explain why i didn't indicate i had a step brother in UK before that i just discovered that after the last application. Thanks so much.

Rommello: Hello

I currently reside in the UK but plan to return to Naija in a few months to get married and then depart soon after. My partner is originally from the Phillipines but is a British passport holder. We both have fairly average jobs in the hospitality industry as a chef and restaurant manager. I know the standard of living in the Scandinavian states is quite high but have issues with the extortion like taxes of Norway and the high prices in Denmark. Which would be easiest to emigrate to and which would offer the best future? Canada is also an option that greatly interests me.

I haven't been back to Lagos in about 15 years so the whole visa application process and all that malarkey is new to me. Would the fact that I am recently married and that my wife is present with me in Lagos be an advantage or would it make more sense for her to be already resident in our preferred destination?

I would appreciate getting comments/advice from people that have lived in any of the aforementioned countries alongst with their experiences. I particularly welcome comments from people with a similar story.

femib26: I DID NOT SAY YOU SAID THAT. I JUST WANT TO BE CLEARED ABOUT IT. ANYWAY, THANKS FOR YOUR RESPONSES.

femib26: Are you advising, he gets another letter?

femib26: hello, could someone advise me on this pls?
how long does an invitation letter from a British citizen remain valid for?
A friend has an invite from his cousin for his family since February, but due to his busy schedule, he has been unable to send in his application for uk visa.
Pls, advise, can he still use the invite?
Thanks for your help.

showstopa: @

Mbok answer me this one question. General visitor visa for my mum I believe is the right one as I'm not permanently settled here. Should she fill a form and take to abj or is an appointment needed. Also does she need to attach our pictures together n husband death certificate .

toskybrown: Hello vicjustice, I want to commenend you on the great job u are doing here. Pls I need your advice on my situation.I wrote sometime ago on my family reunion visa I applied for at the spanish embassy(u can check on my previous post).unfortunately I was denied because I didn't submit the translated copy of the document that states that our marriage had been legalized by the finnish authority..
I did have this document when I filed for my visa but the nigerian lady at the reception told me it wassnt required.when I got this refusal, I scanned it to my husband in spain and he immediately called the spanish embassy in lagos and explained to them that it wasn't my fault.they told him that there was nothing they could do and advise us to appeal if we believe the judgment given to us was wrong.
My husband has filed for an appeal to the embassy since the past month and not a word from them.
My husband and I have decided that I would have to go through Finland, his country to get to spain by applying for a family visa at the finnish embassy in abuja.My husband would be sponsoring the whole trip.
Pls vicjustice I need your advice.thanks.

khan111: Hi i m living in Latvia with Temporary resident Permit and can i marriage with other schengen country girl or it willl be more better if she come here in Latvia and marriage with me then take me with her to her own country , is there will be no problem to me... and which documents are require for marriage in schengen Countries.. suggest me please what should i have to do legally..

twinz: Hi Justwise,

Need your advice on my planned trip to the UK. The last time i was in the UK was between 2007 and 2009, i had finished my masters and returned to nigeria. Now, I intend visiting my folks who are resident over there (short stay).

Now my source of concern about the application is "source of income": am currently self employed, i just registered a business name early this year, although i have doing business prior to registering the business name and payments are going into my personal account.

Another source of income is rent from a few properties (family owned, i used to manage it but i recently got a property manager to handle), income from this is approximately 2m which also goes into my personal account.

Now my question is, What documents would you advice i submit?,
1) the registered business company of which i have no tax certificate or personal income tax since the company is yet to have done any major transaction? Am guessing not likely, although u mentioned in one of your treads that its an evidence that the person travelling will return back to home his home country; or
2) 2 personal accounts, one which has lots of withdrawals and lump sum payments ranging from over a hundred thousand to 400k over the course of 6 months (rent and pre-registered business transcations) and the other a dorm account with over 2000 pounds, money from family and other business transactions. I have been adviced via the VAF1B form to submit documents backing assets owned, will the tenancy agreements suffice or do i need to back it up with title of deed/C of O or is it both? if the deed of title is required, is a scanned copy acceptable?

Finally, of what use is an NI number when filling out the application, i had one when i was a student over there?

What are my chances?

Thanks

shakarababie: @vicjustice she's applying for a student visa. And she didn't submit anything concerning source of income. She thought it wasn't necessary. I also didn't think it was cuz ive read thru this thread and ive seen posts like they dont really care about source of income for student visas(ppl using funds in their parents account). I myself didn't submit anything explaining my dads source of income. Lol now I'm scared.

shakarababie: Hello guys. @vicjustice @justwise Goodmorning
Asking for a friend. She just submitted her application on Friday.but there's something bothering her. She's using her mums bank statement. Her mum has bn operating her account for 6 months. Sometimes there ll be a lot of money in it, sometimes not a lot as she's a business woman. She had about 15,000 dollars in the account which was there for 28 working days then on the 30th day her debtor deposited. 10000 dollars and the next day the account statement was printed. Do u think she ll have a problem and d depositors names as they are different depositors. Would that also be a problem.? Thanks guys. x
