dtraveler: Thank you. I will check now. I suggest a link on this platform where most of the details will be clearly spelt for the different categories, so it can be referenced to anytime.

dtraveler: Yes, she's simply going to visit her sister and kids, with the brother in law. And of course to experience the UK. My uncle is a senior lecturer at UEL, and also owns a home there. What are the documents we should gun after.

kaffy4tope: Dublin is a good country, far way better than the UK. I'm also preparing to travel there, I have friends and family that are making there big time.

dtraveler: That's correct bros, but, in your post here: https://www.nairaland.com/967110/main-reasons-many-refused-visas You stated something else clearly.



I only have business visas. And am not even sure for which one to apply for, for my mum, and since I only operate my business account, it's best for my uncle in law to handle all supporting documents. Please advise what sort of visa should be applied for.. family visit?... and the documents my uncle should prepare. That's just about it broos, thanks..

hailolive: hey i need some light on this.
Planning to visit the Uk for vacation,. My wife is a british citizens as well as 2 kids. we both live in nigeria until early this year when we decided she goes to uk to settle down and be able to file for me from there after a year of settling down
Right now i would like to visit the Uk for vacation. Should i just apply as a general visitor as she is on Benefits and don't want to go through her since she is yet to settle down
In the past., i have applied through an agent with a different name in 2007 but the biometric sold me out. So i am thinking if i apply now with my real name and provide legit requirements for visit would i stand a chance or would my past still haunt me? I have been to southafrica, dubai and some african countries.

philipin7: Thanks for your reply

My husband is a British citizen he works as a Health care assistant in NHS hospitals and earns 1,300pound monthly.

philipin7: If i cant get a letter from my office granting me leave what do i do, if they agree to help by drafting a letter for me what then.

philipin7: And the 6,000pounds my husband is planning on saving is it ok?

philipin7: Or do i skip the month i deposited the huge sum and start afresh from a new month to present my statement of account

Pls advice me on how to go about this..

Thanks

philipin7: Pls i came across this site and i have some questions to ask about family visit visa.
I intend applying for a visa in October or November 2012, then my husband would have saved 6,000pounds. He is going to be my sponsor' I work as a receptionist and i have like 450,000naira in my account, earn 45,000k but i was able to sell a piece of land i have in May.Pls i want to know if these monies available will be ok

Secondly, i am only entitled to only 2weeks paid leave in a year and i want to apply for a 6 months visa. I dont think the company will agree to draft a letter permitting me to travel. Is the 450,000 is my account enough to prove that i will return back to Nigeria.I intend explaining in my form why wont have a permit letter from my office. Or do i just discuss with my MD to draft a letter for me. Pls i need ur advice.

Thanks.

dtraveler: I don read tire, and still no answer here.

My mum is about to apply for a visa to the UK, and she's being invited by her brother in lawyer, who is a senior lecturer at the UEL. What documents should be presented for her visit, putting into perspective that I will be the one sponsoring her. I am a business man, and already have a 2years Visa which I got this June.

I will really appreciate a swift response from the big bosses here, as I have spent almost 1 week to study this and its causing wahala for me.. everyone thinks I haven't been taking it seriously...My uncle in law has been in 9ja since 1 month and as been calling the family requesting for documents to present, and everyone is waiting on me!

Demaejy: HI Nlanderz,

Thanks alot

justmenoni: @VicJustice how about if he had eben on the local level for long? if i may ask you a simple question,why do you and justwise have issues against nigerians trying to seek for greener pastures? In as much as i appreciate some of your efforts on the forum some of your post and response seems just to harsh,if you are a visa consular for one of the western countries am sure no Nigerian will get a visa...i beg lets try to encourage others,if you feel someone is taking a drastic help about going overseas why not just ask for their email and send them a message over there rather than been mean to them on here..You know some people here have friends who knows their ID's so lets be our brother's Keeper's,we all know most of the Nigerians abroad right now starting from years back aint genuine when applying their visa for the first time except the students,lottery winners and all that.so please and please just a piece of advice.

wizb: Hello all! I have been invited for a training program in Leeds, the program starts on the 16th July and will end on the 31st of July. Please I would like to know if its too late to apply for a visa, how long does it take to get a visa, what type of visa should I apply for and what documents I will need to attach to the application. Thank you.

awumen: justwise and vicjustice, my question is, i paid over a million in two installations into my wife's account to secure her two years visa to the u.k,now she made payment of exactly one million back into my private account,can we call dis any violation or lodgement?is it possible that i use the same account or use my salary account that is not up to one million naira or combine both?

badboy: @ Op,
Pls kindly analyze my case. I was refused Visa way back mid 2007, while working with Diamond Bank. Then, there was this system in place where you could pay fees at GtBank, send all relevant docs and reccomendation from HR and wait for result; plus you could re-apply immediately if refused.

I was refused on the grounds that I did not send originals of my docs & that they did not understand why I was going to spend so much, 1/4 of my yearly pay on a 2 weeks holiday, infact the response was like they felt I wanted to bail.

I re-applied immediately sending originals of all my docs, ID card inclusive and an explanation on why I was spending the amount they thought was so much(less than 5000 pounds). Lo and behold I was refused the second time with the same previous reasons given -exactly,no change,as if if they did copy & paste. The situation looked messy to me. Here they were asking me for originals of docs, all of which were sent to them and returned to me, ID card inclusive. Another interesting dimension to the episode was that when my docs were returned,I found among them additional documents and ID card belonging to someone else in my package. I expected the embassy to contact me but they didnt...I wonder what they told the owner of the items.....

I have not applied again since then.Do you think It's ok if I re-apply at this time,assuming I have all relevant requirements covered?

tiarabubu: @vicjustice

This thread couldn't have come at a better time. THANKS!

My situation is this: I have a salary account in bank A. Because of the banking instability and cos changing salary account is not straight forward in my organisation, I maintain a savings in another bank - B. Because bank A doesn't do Internet banking, and I have to physically transfer a chunk of my salary from Bank A to my savings in B almost every month for the past one year.

I have saved up over a million over to enable me visit family in the UK.

My question is will submitting bank balance of B satisfy the requirements since it doesn't show the deposits came from my salary. Do I need to still show the always empty bank A balance? Do I need to write an explanation?

THANKS A MIL!
