ifyjay: Vicjustice thanks,

1. u see the thing is am so attached to my son and reluctant to leave him behinde.if my husband is able to adopt him,will it make the whole process less complicated and will the visa be granted us.(i have made inquiries about adoption and it can be done legaly in line with d hague convention,without d biological father, if he is not in the picture).

ifyjay: 2. Can i apply for family visit visa with my son to visit my husband and come back?can my husband be our sponsor for that category? what are our chances then?

philipin7: Good day all, i stil didn't get a response, so i will state my case again and i would really appreciate your advice

i work as a receptionist and i earn 45k monthly and have 500,000naira and i am entitled to 2 weeks paid leave. My husband is british and has about 6,000 pounds in his savings to sponsor me for a 6 months visit. My question is

Is it ok for me stay for 5 months in the uk and state in my application form that i will stay for two weeks so that will correlate with my leave letter

Do i stand a good chance of getting the visa, (no kids to show family ties)

reloaded11: Thanks for the response and indeed acknowledge your message....Yeah am an adult but just 24 and am in my 3rd year in university and to be sincere i will be coming back to home to conclude my education...But i will need more advice and i would not mind some else can contribute to this ..
Thanks

reloaded11: Good Morning,
I need an urgent response to my questions.....I have applied for UK visa last year and i was refused 2 times (August and September)The first reason was that i forgot to list our second uncle details in the section where they ask "Do you have any other relatives in UK".
The second reason was that my brother does not have enough money to sponsor our trip because we are both traveling together and he has 5 years valid UK visa which will expire in 2014...Now i am planing to re-apply for a tourist visa as my brother now have like 1.2 million in his account and the account was well ran and we are still traveling together in august this year...My question is: Is it possible to apply for tourist visa because none of our 2 uncle is available to send new invitation letter....Please i need an advice from you guys and tell me what documents to provide when applying for the tourist visa and my chance of getting the visa this time around.
Hope to read from someone as soon as possible.
Thanks

ifyjay: Thanks vicjustice

Like how long would i need to to be in the Uk before i can send for my son to join us?

osarodon: Thank you all for your contribution;
Below is my situation:
1992: Someone file for US immigrant visa application which was not concluded and then I was less than 15yrs old then.
2000: I applied for US visiting visa but got denied and I was still in the University then.
2006: I applied for South African visa and was granted, this I used for a training.
2010(Nov): I applied for US visiting visa but got denied and I used an Aunty's invite(I am now married since 2007 with 2 kids).
2011(Mar): I applied for UK visa and was granted,I stated the US visa denial in my application(first time application and it was processed/approved within 4 working days)
2012(Mar): I applied for Germany Schengen Visa and was granted.

I will like to apply for a US visa by end of this year using conference and hotel reservation
Based on the above what do you think about the outcome.
Thanks

ifyjay: thanks vicjustice for your prompt response.
1.My fiances mum sent me an invitation letter,she was the friend i was going to visit,so she also sent the biodata page of her passport and utility bill as required.

ifyjay: 2.the document was not tampered with.some earnings i receive in cash,i spend before it gets to my account.when i filled the visa form i stated i earn between 70-150k,which is d truth.but most of the time it doesnt all get to my account,so the account s/ment was a bit different.so the disparity.

ifyjay: 3.i didnt even know my self occupation was irrelevant.

ifyjay: 4.right now my husband cannot afford the fees for spousal visa,but we need to be together in the same space.we have been apart for almost 6mths,its tough.

ifyjay: 5.my son is 10,so he is still under dependancy status.

dommfa: Hi. Please I applied for visiting visa a month ago but was rejected based on and I quote <b>"you have stated in your visa application that your sponsor who is your father will finance you. However, you have failed to provide satisfactory evidence of your sponsor's income. I have therefore been unable to assess the impact the sponsorship would have on your sponsor's financial circumstances and whether such a sponsor is viable and credible. I am not satisfied that the evidence submitted confirms the ability of your sponsor to finance you as you claimed. Therefore on the balllance of probabilities, I'm not satisfied that you will be maintained and accommodated in the UK without working or having recourse to public funds..."</b>
My father had 4 million in his account and I said in my form the money I would need for 12 days of my visit was N750 000. I want to know what the problem was & if & when I can re-apply.
Thank you.

ifyjay: @justwise,vicjustice and Adebyte,u are doing a great job.this is my first post here and its quite impressive.with guys like u we dont need travel agents.Assist me with this pls;i applied for a gen visitors visa in july 2011,i used my fiance's(not officialy)mum's biodata,utility bill and invitatn letter,we thought we had a better chance because shes elderly and we were not married.my bros in nig was my sponsor with his biodata,s/ment of acc and letter to the embassy.we were denied anyway.

ifyjay: My man came to nigeria in dec of the same year and we got married.(he is a british citizen and lectures in one of the universities in uk).Meanwhile the eco cited in the letter of refusal that on a balance of proabilities,my economic circumstances were not as stated,i had no payslip.there was disparity in d s/ment of acc i submited and what i stated in the form as my earnings.this is because i am self employed and some of my earnings do not pass through my acc.i wanted to be as honest as possible in my application.

ifyjay: i have since then gotten employment in a company,though my pay is not up to 100k,i still do some jobs on the side.

ifyjay: I must mention i have a son from a previous marriage whom my husband intends to adopt.What are all the options my son and i have in joining my husband in the uk.?

ifyjay: is my s/ment of acc still relevant to our application now that i am married?

ifyjay: does my husband need to adopt my son in order for our application to be granted?

ifyjay: do i need a letter from my employer,payslips,leave letter,employment letter and all the works?Pls ur kind response will be appreciated.Thanks in advance

justmenoni: Thanks for the message and no they are not relying on the 8000 euros,but you know the embassy wants approximately 8000 euros in a fixed account in Germany,so what am asking is if the 8000 euro fixed in the account in Germany is adequate to secure the visa for the applicants as well as accompanying members.

justmenoni: @Vicjustice i dropped it here on nairaland,We were having an argument here together with my friends about doing a masters degree in Germany and i was of the opinion that the approx 8,000 euro will cover the applicant alongside his wife and child if they all apply together and my fiend said No that one needs to fixed the 8000 euro for each applicants,we searched on google to no avail and their embassy are closed over the weekends,please en-light more on this if you have an idea...Thx a bunch and sorry about the other time

Adisaogo01: I have a similar problem about account inflation.I was given an appeal based on d fact that my account was artificially inflated do I go about the appeal pls.

ernestleon: A few proportion of nigerians abroad might be miscreants but being an english speaking nation,we earn respect from non english speaking countries...

justmenoni: @Vicjustice i sent you a private message,did you rcv it?

t9t9: I am of the opinion that you don't have to liquidate your fixed deposit to build your current account. I feel it makes sense to add an investment letter from the bank as evidence of the fixed deposit. @ Vicjustice, please confirm if this makes sense for USA visa as this is what i intend to do.

Awaiting your quick response.

Colbin: Hello Nlander,
have a case at hand, and really need truthful tips on how to handle it. I have an intention of applying for uk spouse visa this august 2012. I and my spouse have been in a distance relationship for 5years b4 getting married this april 2012, with substantial proof to show our communication for throughout this years. Her annual income is £14,510 which is lower than £18600 stated by the new uk immigration law set to take hold by july 9th.

Colbin: I am a veterinary surgeon, and i have good job prospect in the uk, and currently i am self employed right here in nigeria, doing locum consultancy and have a small farm which i run, but wasn't registered under any business name.

Colbin: My bank account have been showing lump sums which are also been expended and sometimes small amounts are paid there by my clients.

Colbin: All other requirements for the spouse visa have been met by me and my spouse. But our major concern now is abt the new immigration law of minimum income threshold of £18600, which my spouse doesn't meet up to(£14510) and my own employment and bank account status. Please i really need a truthful advice on what i can do. Thanks in anticipation

@henrychubayo
Thanks for your prompt response,as
henrychubayo rightly mentioned will I
provide my personal statement of account
along with company statement of account
or only company statement?thanks for your counsel

hailolive: So what kind of Visa would be appropriate to apply for. I would not want to apply if my chances are slim.
Your suggestion is appreciated

philipin7: since i am entitled to 2 weeks paid leave in a year, i can get a letter from my office permitting me to go for a 2 weeks christmas holiday. I intend to state in my form that i will stay for 2 weeks only while apply for 6months visa. If i have this letter from my office and a sum of 500,000naira in my account, is this ok? i will skip the month i put in a lump sum and start from the following month. And again my husband will sponsor me during the visit.

For now he does not have 16,000pounds for spouse visa that's why we want to start with a 6 months visa. We have available 6,000pounds for the 6 moths visa

Pls tell me where i am not getting it right

Thanks

philipin7: vicjustice in case you are not aware

New immigration rule for spouse visa states that a sponsor of a spouse must have a minimum of 18,600pounds as gross annual income
My husbands annual income is 15,600 so we dont qualify. Thats why we are applying for 6 months. He has just 6,000pounds available for a 6 months visa

rubenic: This was the message i got from the school:
If you are not a EU citizen **
Once admitted to the MSc Programme, you must immediately - anyway not later than May 2012 -
get in touch with an Italian Embassy or Consulate where the degree was issued, and apply for the
following documents:
a. Authenticated photocopy of the degree issued by a University or certificate attesting higher
education studies completed in a non-University Institution (subsequently to a secondary school
diploma obtained after at least 12 year of formal schooling), legalized by the Italian Diplomatic
Representative of the zone;
b. Dichiarazione di valore (declaration of the legal value) issued by the Italian Diplomatic
Representative in the zone where the studies were carried out;
c. Certificate issued by the University or non-University Institution, legalized by the Italian
Diplomatic Representative of the zone, attesting the examinations which have been passed, together
with their detailed programs;
d. Entry Visa for study reasons. Non-EU citizens should contact the Italian Embassy/Consulate in
their own country of residence and submit the requested documents in order to obtain the student
Visa. The deadline for completing the necessary procedures is set individually by every single
Embassy/Consulate, so you are advised to contact the closest one as soon as possible.
Very Important: Non EU-citizens are admitted to the MSc Programme conditionally on the full
compliance of the above procedure and all the Italian immigration requirements. In particular,
enrolment of applicants is conditional on the legal validity of the first degree, which is officially
declared by the Italian Authorities in their own country, and on the possession of a Visa for study
reasons.[font=Lucida Sans Unicode][/font]
