kenny2gbaski: Thanks much sir. He is a Retired, but his pension fund plus his account status in my own view wont bring him close to getting a visa and i don't really feel putting a large some of money in the account just now is a good idea, though he has got some landed property. we have also thought maybe the family that invited him could sponsor him, but i feared the embassy might wonder why they decided to sponsor only him among other invited families. Is there any other suggestions you could render considering the account stuff and sponsorship? Thanks.
If your Dad is an aged man, then, it would be OK for him to be sponsored. But explanation would be required as to why the host decides to sponsor him and what the sponsor stands to benefit from his travel.
As for lodging money into his account, read about it here:

Pitykitten: Thank you Vicjustice for your speedy response.

What other documents do I need to prove strong ties? My mother has landed property,does that help?

Also,my mother's account is quite active(about 200,000 enters every month) with a balance of over 1million. What else would I need?

Thank you for taking your time to help.
As a adult tourist visitor, i'm afraid you can't be sponsored by anyone, not even your mother, and you can't use your mother's land property as a tie, you need to be on your own responsibility to apply for a visa of this category.

kenny2gbaski: Hello Justwise, Vicjustice & others
Please i need your help/Advice URGENTLY, My Dad just got an invitation to visit the UK for a wedding ceremony of his Niece in few months,all the necessary supporting documents has been sent already to the embassy from UK. he was not the only one that was invited (some couple of other family members' names was sent to the embassy as well). 2 documents (including the invitation letter) has been forwarded to his mail. Now he is getting ready for visa processing, There is is a particular problem, i don't think his personal account statement is good enough to get him the visa, So my question is
Is it possible or allowed if someone else is willing to stand as his sponsor (Like his Pastor or a friend). this sponsor is willing to provide all necessary documents and account statement for him as well as write to the embassy claiming to sponsor his trip?
Is this accepted? Any other suggestions will surely be appreciated. Thank You.
Except your father is an old dependant man of pension/retired age it will be unacceptable for him to apply for a visa using a sponsor: and under no circumstance will it be acceptable for his "Pastor or a Friend" to be his sponsor if the purpose of the trip has got nothing to do with them

Pitykitten: Hello everyone,
I am new on Nairaland and I'm not quite sure how this works...I need advice,I'm a 500L medical student and I want to travel to the UK early next year to visit.

I have family there(An Aunt) but I can stay in a hotel if that would be better(I can't be away from school for over 2weeks anyway)

I have applied for visa to France with all necessary documents but was refused on grounds that I don't have strong ties to Nigeria. What can I do to avoid such again?

Please show some love y'all. God bless.
The only tie that you seem to have is your academical tie, so it would be good if you have good financial backing as well otherwise, it might be an up-hill battle to satisfy a visa officer in this regard

The concern that the UK immigration has about you is the possibility of breaching the terms of a visa like you did before when you were a minor. But now (as an adult), if you have a job to return to the US for, you may be considered for a visit visa

[quote author=dotcom_na_me_na_me]My point in the last query is ''Since he's managing the company owned by his junior sister and her husband, and he's getting cash and using his micro finance account, and since the micro finance are ready to give him a letter stating he has access to his money there anytime... does he need pay slip,,, because there is no how he can get pay slip.. he only have the company tax clearance, and copy of the company cert of incop.

What do u think Vicjustice?

Thanks[/quote]Pay-Slip is not a necessity if his bank account shows his incomes and their sources. It is not a requirement to provide Pay-slips: what is required is EVIDENCE OF INCOME of which Pay-Slip is one of the options. Bank Account details is an alternative option if it shows evidence of incomes, and a third option is manual Pay-Advise letter (a cover letter written by employer company detailing one's position and wages/salaries). Besides these, I do not have other information

TravelRe: Traveling To Spain(short-term) And Meeting Application Requirements by Vicjustice: 10:16am On Oct 16, 2012
sdavirus: Hello everyone,
I wanna apply for a Spanish tourist visa this month, but the application requirements state these as part of the requirements:

-Passport valid for at least six months after the intended date of travel and validity exceeding three months after your scheduled return + previous passport + two full blank pages to affix the visa.
-Copy of the identification page of the passport.
-Completed and signed visa applications forms (one in Spanish and one in English).
-Two colour photographs (not more than 1 month old) with white background), frontal view (3.5cm x 4.5cm). Photographs should not be stapled to the applications.
-Travel insurance covering all Schengen countries, with a minimum coverage of €30.000, for: A. - Medical treatment
B. - Emergency admission into hospital
C. - Repatriation
-Letter of invitation from the organisers if you are attending a conference, seminar, workshop or a sporting event.
-Introductory letter from your employer OR introductory letter from your company if you are self-employed.
-Pay slips for the past six months.
-Personal Statement of Account for the past six months OR that of your company, if you are being sponsored.

-Pre-paid hotel booking for the entire period of your stay.
-Flight reservations

I don't know how I can fulfil the payslip requirement, seeing I am self-employed and don't do any bookkeeping,with an HR or bookkeeper like its done in some countries. Please help me with this, if u have applied via the VFS for a spanish visa, cos I don't want to waste any money on application fees. Would just wait and go somewhere else by christmas, if that can't be met.

Thanks in advance
As an adult who will be sponsoring himself, one basic requirement that you MUST meet is employment or occupation. And unfortunately, your occupation details does not satisfy the requirement as it lacks proper documentation. I suggest that you make some valid documentation of your occupation so you may meet the requirement in future before applying for a visa.
Go to your local Revenue/Tax office and take it from there

[quote author=dotcom_na_me_na_me]Vicjustice, if u remember i asked you about the ticket and you said it is not a requirement and i told him, and he got exactly the same reply from the VFS that buying ticket and submit it with application is not a requirement, which means you are right, so he also confirm it again from them to be very sure.

So, he mailed them again to re-confirm if Micro Finance statement is acceptable because thats where he has enough money, and they replied him that ''Yes''

Although i have helped him confirm again from a friend of mine i heard he recently used his Micro Finance too, but i decided to ask you and others here to be very sure even before he contacted the Vfs Embassy too.

He is a friend to me, so i just want to render the best help i can and thats what am doing.

Infact i must confess to you that i was the one ask him to contact the vfs by email directly or call them, and he did.

He has called me more than 10 times this morning that he is confused about the Pay Slip and his Micro Finance, the problem is he is getting income in cash and no pay slip purposely because the company he's managing is owned by his junior sister and her husband. So he's the one paying salary in cash too to people working under him. Your full advice will be appreciated if you can go through the lists of his available documents.

mrduke: Hi, Can anyone tell me if British High Comission know when person came back to Nigeria from UK. My sister came to UK to visit me in UK in 2010. She was given 6 mths visa but stated in her application that she wished to stay 4 weeks. She came back to Nigeria after 6 mths just before her visa expired. She would like to apply again this year.I am not sure if she should write in this year application that she stayed longer than stated in her last visit or just say that she came back after 4 weeks. there is no stamp in her passport with the date of return to Nigeria. PLEASE i NEED YOUR HELP!
She is entitled to stay for any length of time even if she stated during her visa application that she intended to stay for 4 weeks; that shouldn't be a problem as long as she didn't stay beyond the validity of stay.
There will be a huge consequence if she tried to hide the fact that she stayed for 6 months: it's better to explain the truth on a change of circumstance than to conceal it and get banned for 10 years

usewisdom: An email was sent to the French Embassy to confirm if Micro Finance Statement of account is acceptable as a proof of fund. A reply was received from the French Embassy that ''yes it is acceptable''

Secondly, he has 1.3m in his Micro Finance and he is getting a letter from the Micro Finance that he has access to it anytime any day.
Lastly, the Micro Finance is registered and can be verifiable, and he has been using the Micro Finance for long, it is not lump sum because of his visa application. But he has balance of N1.3m in it.

Any more advice?
I don't find it credible to accept your claim: What embassy would reply an email within a few hours?
I suspect you are making this up: Though i don't know much about Micro-finance in Nigeria, but i don't think such would be acceptable because, their documents may be difficult to verify: It might interest you to hear that many such micro-finance ripped up traders in Benin City when (all of a sudden they closed down). Their services can't be relied on neither can their documents be trusted
TravelRe: Main Reasons Many Are Refused Visas by Vicjustice(op): 12:24pm On Oct 15, 2012
usewisdom: Vcjustice,

Does it matter if he has no pay slips because he’s the one managing the company. His junior sister & her husband are the owner of the company but his sister & her husband are not living in Nigeria.

He’s the one even paying Employee salary in cash
He has no money in his personal account, but his micro finance is about 1.3million
He has a plot of land and he has the evidence
He has a son and lives together with his woman and his family pictures to prove it is available
These are the documents he listed he’s submitting

International passport
Passport photograph
Photocopy of his Work ID card
Landed property
Letter from his wife stating she’s aware of her partner traveling for holiday
Family pictures eg. Naming ceremony, etc, but not legally married
No-Payslips because he’s making cash from work
6 month Statement of Account Micro Finance bal N1.3 million
His personal account but nothing is there
Letter of Introduction from his junior sister and her husband stating he’s the one managing the company and awareness of his traveling for holiday in France, copy of the Company’s cert of inco-op.
His own Statement of purpose and Letter of Undertaking
Hotel reservation covering his 2 weeks holiday in France
Flight Reservation
Medical Insurance covering the 2 weeks holiday in France.

So, with this, do you think he meet the requirement and can get him France Schengen visa for 2 weeks holiday in France? Thanks
For the PAYSLIP, though it is required, but it may not have mattered too much if his income is detailed in his bank statement, and unfortunately, (you have said that) his bank account has nothing to write about... except for the "Micro Finance" savings (which also does not, and can not show his incomes).
Now, if a bank is not internationally (or at least nationally) recognised, such bank can not be acceptable to the Embassy: therefore, given that the account that you are talking about here is a "micro finance" or whatever, i don't see any need to answer other questions since the fundamental documentation is short of the requirement.

Things aren't looking good for you now, your visa may still have a valid date, but it may be cancelled next time you come to their attention: and you may receive a ban from entering any Schengen member state for some time.

Please @ all advice. Thanks
Being a tailor means that you are a manual skilled worker (which is not bad), but however, as a self employed individual who is applying for Tourist/Visit Visa, you need your tailoring business (or industry) to be well established to enable it represent your Employment, Obligation & Ties: your incomes or payments also need documentations otherwise, you can't apply for a visa no matter how much cash you have "to process all the necessary things"

I explained this in the original post: that visa officers are not obliged to inform applicants of their ban/no-ban status unless if asked.

TravelRe: Main Reasons Many Are Refused Visas by Vicjustice(op): 8:01pm On Oct 13, 2012
usewisdom: Vcjustice and Justwise, i have a friend who has been refused a visa before in 2008, he was refused because the invitation letters he used has been used for 3 different people, and he did not even bother to appeal then in 2008. But now he would like to apply again on his new international passport with his real information as it is in his previous passport.

He is now got family and working. But the company where he works now is owned by his junior sister and her husband. So he does not have pay slips and he will use his micro finance statement of account. Can he use his micro finance statement,? Must he provide pay slip? Because he’s the one managing the company he is the boss, but his junior sister owns the company. He has personal account in another bank but there is no money there, but he he has like 1m to 1.3 in his micro finance. Does he have any chance? Does he really need to provide pay slips? And also he is not married but living with his woman and son, and he has a plot of land too. Any advice Vcjustice and justwise?
And lastly, someone said he should first contact the BDHC in lagos to know his status and eligibility. But he said he did not get any ban at all.
If the visa officer judges that he used an invitation letter that had been used before by three other applicants, it therefore means that the letter is considered to be fraudulent, and for that, i'm of the opinion that he got the 10 years ban: therefore, there is no need to talk about other issues

beejaybida: VicJustice what do I do now?
You may apply again and in your next application, make use of the "Additional Information" section: write a constructive analysis expressing your disgust at the decision of the previous Visa Officer. I like to recommend that you make use of these key-word phrases:
*Felt disgusted at the decision
*Unfair assessment of my circumstance
*Unjustifiably refused the visa.


Write the information in your own composition fitting the phrases/keywords in, and if the box provided is not enough to take your statement, it is acceptable to use extra sheet for additional information.
And in all that you do, remember to be polite in your language, but never plead nor beg: it is discrediting to do so in visa application.

Note: if you decide to use additional sheet for the letter, i recommend the use of electronic letters/typing, your hand writing may be Illegible to them, and they are too busy to want to waste their time trying to read a hand writing

beejaybida: Good evening all. I applied for a renewal for me and fresh tourist visa for my wife and my daughter, 3weeks ago. I got a rejection today which shocked me really. The ECO wrote " you have made available for the trip 1.2m which is about 9 times your stated monthly income. This cost is disproportionate to the benefit you would obtain as a tourist and am unsatisfied that your trip is realistic in your case. Therefore on the balance of probabilities, am not satisfied that you are genuinely seeking entry or that you intend to leave the UK at the end of the visit". Here are my concerns:
1. My total emolument (even stated in the intro letter from my employers to ECO) is about 6m, broken down into monthly salary of 140k and various allowances which account for the rest.
2. I attached a schedule of travel expenses which indicated that the trip will cost us around 650k from the 1.2m available then.
3. I included my employment letter, promotion letter, leave letter, staff I.D copy, all to prove employment and landed property to prove ties.
4. My bank statement had a turnover in excess of 4m in d 6 months directly traceable to my employers even from the bank narrations.
5. I attached tour bookings and places to see in London etc.
6. I didn't break any laws or cause any trouble the first time I went.
7. I gave detailed explanation of my finances in section 9 of the form, making sure I tied every inflow in my account to a particular allowance etc
8. The current account I used is solely for official salary purposes only.

Please, what did I do wrong? Was the ECO just having a bad day? What do I do now?
This is one of the things that could happen to anyone applying for a visa: the ECO is very unreasonable to have thought that a normal person would leave his secured job with reasonable pay and travel to the UK with his entire family and become illegal residents even though you've been to the UK before and abide by the rules.

Godson311: UK Settlement visa related issue (Justwise & all in the house, your help pls.............)

I applied for a settlement husband visa but was refused becos my marriage with my sponsor was considered to be invalid under UK law. This was an ignorance of our part as we did our wedding after collecting the decree nisi before the final decree absolute letter for my wife's divorce.

We appealed and apologised for this omission but the ECM upheld their decision and the IJ later dismissed the appeal under human right and immigration law.

Question: Do we stand a chance of winning the appeal if we appeal to the upper chamber for re-consideration? or should i just dissolve my marriage with my wife and re-marry, thereafter making a fresh application?

Please, your advice and guidance will be much appreciated, i need to make a decision on that ASAP.

Thanks for your anticipated support.
I don't know why a lot of Nigerians consider appeal as a means of pleading or begging for the tampering of justice with mercy: that is not what appeal is meant for, it is supposed to be an avenue to challenge a decision which you believe is a miscarriage of justice, or that your rights were violated or that you were denied a natural law which you were entitled for.

The refusal stamps are definitely not something plausible on your passport, it could mean a bad influence on your application; yet, it is possible to get the visa even with that: the reasons for the refusals have great role to play in deciding your chances.
Warning: If you deem it reasonable to get a new passport, remember to do it with the same data as in your current passport otherwise, you will regret it the rest of your life.
TravelRe: Turkey by Vicjustice: 8:12pm On Oct 09, 2012

TravelRe: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 2 by Vicjustice:
fishhooks: Thank you very much Vicjustice. The reason i mention his family in NI (Belfast) is because they do say on the form to state if you have family members in the UK.
We will go for the option of booking a hotel and explain about the misunderstanding with my uncle.
I really do appreciate this, thank you.
When asked questions regarding family members in the UK, it is not because the Visa Office wants to help your application with any provided information, rather it is because they want to see if the information means anything negative in order to refuse your application.
Therefore, if you have family member(s) in a country of which you are applying for a tourist visa, it is wise to know their circumstances and reputation; their activities may influence your own accessment and judgement: you wouldn't want the visa officer to think that you will abscond and seek asylum or that you are likely to resort to public fund under social welfare and become a liability to the state; you also wouldn't want to be connected to someone who is known to the Police for the wrong reasons
TravelRe: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 2 by Vicjustice:
fishhooks: Thank you VicJustice for your advice, it's most appreciated. As i said, I live in the UK so how credible would it be if he says he'll stay in a hotel. We are willing to ditch my uncle's documents if it will casue an issue.
There is nothing incredible about staying in a hotel even though (you) his wife live in the country, it could just be that your house is inadequate to accommodate him: In fact, it is more reputable to state that he will stay in a lodging facility than to state that he intends to harbour in an accommodation that is deemed inappropriate. And booking-in a hotel does not mean that he is not entitled to leave and stay wherever he pleases whilst in the country: Remember that we are only trying to amend errors here so, i recommend that he books a hotel (for the sake of the presentation) in order to support his visa application since you (people) have already complicated the whole situation with messed up the stories.


fishhooks: His mom and brother live in Ireland also but we dont want to complicate matters even further by using them but he will, of course, have to list them on his form. We want to avoid using the family visit form so that the documents we have to present dont contradict one another.
Do you mean the Republic Of Ireland(ie Dublin) or Northern Ireland (ie Belfast)?
If you meant the ROI, then, it is utterly useless to state anything about it since it is a country of its own. But if you were talking about NI (which is a part of the UK), then it would only make sense if his activity areas are mainly within that municipality; it would be unreasonable to indicate that his activities would mainly be taking place in (lets say) London while his purpose of travel is influenced by or referenced to someone living in Belfast.
I just don't see how his family members living in Ireland can have any positive effect on his visa application
TravelRe: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 2 by Vicjustice:
fishhooks: • I live in the UK but cannot invite him because I am on a dependent visa but we don’t know where to put down as my address as we don’t want to raise any suspicion and questions –
What do we do here? Do we just come clean and say I’m here but can’t invite him or put my address in Lagos down. We don’t want them to think he is coming to stay because he really isn’t.
Invitation letter is not a necessity, your husband doesn't need the letter in order to visit the UK, he can book a hotel or make arrangement for other accommodation facility: he would only need invitation letter from you (or any other person) if he states that his sole purpose of travelling to the UK is to visit you (or the person)

fishhooks: My uncle has sent the following documents to help the application:
1. A copy of his passport
2. Evidence of the job he does
3. Utility bill
4. A letter explaining that I am married to him which is the reason he called him his uncle.
5. Insurance of his property
All these documents are photocopies as my uncle did not feel comfortable sending the originals. I hope this wont count against my husband
If he original documents are hard documents (that bear stamps, signatures, seals or security authentications) then it is absolutely impossible to get a visa with such documents photocopies, and i mean IMPOSSIBLE in its strongest definition

fishhooks: Lastly, the application he made was a family one but this time he is going to apply for a general/tourist visa.
I need your advice please. Are these documents sufficient to send or does he need to attach a letter explaining that I live here but he is going to stay with my uncle as I am not in a position to invite him.
If i were he, i would arrange a lodging accommodation because, the whole situation with uncle, in-law wife whatever is complicated and messed up: he can apply for tourist/visit visa then
TravelRe: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 2 by Vicjustice:
fishhooks: Hello All
I need some advice please. I came on here about a year ago when my husband was refused a visa.
He was refused for the following reasons:
• He said his sponsor, who is my uncle was his uncle but when they called my uncle, my uncle said he was a family friend. We are going to address this by explaining that as his wife, he is entitled to call him uncle
That would not make sense; an English man would consider you a liar if you refer to your cousin as a cousin: perhaps it will make more of a sense if he refers to him as uncle in-law.

fishhooks: • The amount he said he earns did not correspond with the amount on his bank statements – We are going to show his other sources of income by presenting his statement for his shares. Is this sufficient?
Does that mean that his bank statement was tampered?
It is important to answer this so i know whether further answers are are of any use or not
