roak: I was amended my biometrics date due some changes in my plan from early to late, now something came up which distrupted my earlier plan. That's why I'm considering going for the earlier date if it's possible that way. |

Okay. I schemed through. They talked about the balance in your bank account being more than your stated income. And how they were not sure you're a genuine visitor, and that you'll return home. Il ask you questions. Provide honest answers: 1) Did you put in a bulk sum of money into your account before applying for the visa? This is usually queried and frowned upon. Even if you wanted to put a bulk sum, I'd advice you place it in a fixed deposit with renmoney (I think they currently give the best interest rates) or any other bank of your choice. You can fix the money for minmum 3mths (thats my own discretion). I feel 3 months is safe enough; it shows the money didnt just enter recently, and theres a history that you've placed money for sometime. When it's time to apply for visa, ask the bank to give you an investment advice for the embassy. I know someone who used their Fixed Deposit advice for their last visa. They didn't bother with bank statement as they had a fixed deposit. The issue with bank statements is if you have any inflow or outflows that exceeds your stated income or revenue, then they query that and it usually becomes an excuse for denial. 2) You need to demonstrate strong ties with Nigeria, to prove you'll be return back. With your mum over there now they could also feel you may not wanna come back. To demonstrate strong ties, show proof of your existing working contracts and business relationships.Ask your employer to write you a letter etc, stating what you do, your value to the organisation , etc etc. Add proof of any investments you have here if any. Land projects etc. I don't know what you do but just giving you ideas Also show family ties here. If you're married , maybe with kids, mention yourw coming back home to your kids + husband . If your single and your nuclear family is here - father, bros, sis, mention you are coming back home etc etc. If you have family investments back here you manage. Mention that as well. You're coming back to manage your dad's properties etc etc. You get the drift. Provide enough evidence to prove to them you will return dharmee68: |

roak: --- The issue with bank statements is if you have any inflow or outflows that exceeds your stated income or revenue, then they query that and it usually becomes an excuse for denial. --- Does that mean if one's expenses (outflows) are bigger than his income (inflows), it will be an issue? For instance, I earn 350k in salary, I wrote that I spend like 150k per month. However, there are months, I spend more than 350k. I have a side gig (providing media services to individuals and businesses), and I make over 1.2M from it every month. How do I explain and demonstrate that I offer these services as a side hustle apart from my normal job? The payments come in with narrations stating what the money is for. 1 Like |

Hello everyone, I amended my biometrics date due some changes in my plan from early to late, now something came up which distrupted my earlier plan. I have two email appointment confirmation for that I can print out for my biometrics, one is Wednesday and the second one is Friday. I have Friday showing on my account for biometric day. But I'm just thinking if I can be allowed in on Wednesday if I go with Wed. print out? Do they still do further checks to confirm if I am booked for appointment or not? Don't read pass please, I need answers abeg |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 5 by roak: 10:44am On May 16 |
Oh, now I get it. If you ammended I assume it means your earlier date has been cancelled. According to the TLs website, if you change appointment date, you forfeit the former date you had Aim07: 1 Like |

Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 5 by roak: 3:30pm On May 16 |
As to inflows and outflows and expenses you answered the question already. You can't say your earning 350k and then have months where your expense is higher than 350k. The Immigration officer will use that to deny you visa. They work with guidelines. If you have a side gig making over 1.2m why don't you have a separate business account for your side gig. I believe at least you have a registered business name even if you don't have a registered liability company? Let your clients pay into your business account. Then have 2 bank statements for visa . Include CAC registration details, client invoice, etc Another solution : I've told you a workaround for this. Any lump sum that comes from your side business put it in FD (fixed deposit) build your FD statement for 2 to 3mths don't take out the money there. Or the earnings that come from your side gig make that your savings and don't touch much out of it. MrMagnetic: |

kumbhuru:hmmmm.. there’s little correlation between knowing rudiments and not been a frequent driver. Simply means you do not know how to drive.. not theory but practical . I don’t know how easy it would be for you to learn driving in the UK in 3 weeks as a fresher. Please use your time in Nigeria now and learn how to drive. Goodluck |
