Yes, you fill all the names since you are all dependant on him. Put documents that also establish your cousin's relationship with him such as pics. Your cousin should include her statement of account too.

Thanks for your response. My dad is sponsoring my cousin, does she need to provide a bank statement? She’s putting the payslip to prove she’s earning. She doesn’t have money saved in her account. Also should I put my cousin under my dads dependents

oluwaseun8:



Please in naira?

You have to do the math yourself. Your payment is in $ but you can pay with your nairacard. Final exchange is with your bank.

My mums application hasn't even clicked the Decision button yet, and she made her application on 22nd of May.

We called UKVI and they confirmed that a decision has been made.

I think TSL needs to do better in their services.

I wish you all the best too.

Please who can help with this?

Gurus in the house please I need your help.

I applied for a 2 year visa application for my mom, and appointment was on 10 April. Till now decision hasn't been made on the application. We sent a mail to UK VI and they confirmed in May and they confirmed the application has gotten to them and they haven't made a decision yet. She had travel to the US in 2014 and UK 2016 - both were short stay visas.

My question is: why the delay? Has anyone experienced this before? What can I do to get a decision made soon? Who do I contact?

customised87:


Why are they both sponsoring? This may hinder success. Why not let either of them (preferably your husband) be the sponsor?
1) 0
2) 0
3) 0
4) put the flight ticket amount
5) 0

My dad wants take care of half of the trip cos it’s his first grandchild..

"This depends on the category of visa application, but UK Visas and Immigration aims to return 90% of non-settlement visa applications within 15 working days. UK Visas and Immigration cannot guarantee the outcome or the length of time an application takes to process; neither can it guarantee the return of passport and documents within a certain timeframe. This is due to the fact that visa applications are assessed individually and individual circumstances can mean processing times may vary and result in longer decision times. Therefore you are requested to wait until a decision on the application is taken since VFS Global does not have any control over the processing times. The processing time for a settlement application is 95% within 12 weeks."

bigbus:


As long as you don't need to carry both, you should be fine. Other gurus can say whether it can have any implication in the future (eg. submitting both passports for another visa application for other countries; if NIS officer at airport can 'complain' that your visa is dated before the old 'un-cancelled' passport expired; etc.)

You can still cancel. At any NIS Passport office. (Previous times I did, it always took less than 5 minutes: only need to identify where the office is, and the officer simply stamps a couple of pages and its done.)

alright boss I appreciate God bless you!!

5) the cost of ur accommodation and living expenses..

BlueBoy16:
So I’ve not had time to post my decision outcome here so here goes, I got denied in March for a short term study visa and this is the reason they gave. (View photo below)
However I want to apply again in July, so I have a few questions; @Justwise and all my experienced folks here

1. My Fiancé is a British citizen and we have it in mind to apply for a fiancé visa, however we are thinking of just applying for a visitors visa this time around, with my fiancé’s documents and my fiancé as the sponsor.
2. I have a family business that I work as an administrator, i am listed As the next of kin but I plan to include my name as signatory to the business accounts and include a power of attorney in my name for the establishments. Doing this as a result of the concern of my economic ties to Nigeria as a reason for my refusal in March
3. With my fiancé as a sponsor for the entire trip, travel expenses and accommodation, and my ties with Nigeria, should we go ahead and apply for a normal visitors visa or do we still apply for a fiancé visa (checked the requirements and we both have ample documents for that also)
Please guys I really need your advise, I intend to apply again in July. Thanks

Please guys any help with this?? @ekpotek @justwise @vicjustice please I need an advice

Thank you so much for your precious time.
Will 3 months bank statements do? Thanks.

monchat:


I will advice u not to state it like this in your cover letter. ECO wants regular payment *I'm supposed to receive payment of 23k as expense monthly but it's not pay on regular basis*. U can use the 23k as other money that y clients pays into your account for the 2nd job. Well, every explanation balls down on the contract letter given to u. If it state other expenses, u will av to state it but try to modify it in away that the 23k is usually pay every 3months. Try to collect the payslips for 6months and verify if all is accurate. Bc if there are different payments and deduction in the payslip every month, u will need to explain.
This is all I can contribute. I am not seeing your documents to verify, so I av given u the little I know. All d best.

[quote author=Ronnygold post=68464628]Thank you so much for your precious time.

You will need to present a 6 months bank statement which is the required months of transaction

Good Morning my people, Longest time... Justwise, ekpo, and others weldone. A quick one please, My brother applied for uk visa in April 2017 but was denied, Then was working with a company here in Lagos, He resigned from the company in July 2017 and started his own Car business in August 2017... company duly registed, companys account , receipt of purchases from US car sellers, bill of landing issued on his name and companys name, No tax payment yet cos the coy is less than one year, Article of memorandom and Companys receipts. However , He is planning to apply for a tourist Uk visa in August but the problem he has presently is that he doesnt know how much to declare as MONTHLY INCOME becos basically he lives on PROCEEDS from each vehicle sold... He sometimes transfers some money from the coy account to savings account as Proceeds from car sales. Can he also use his companys account for the visa application? .. Your candid advise would be appreciated . thanks

I also applied on the 22nd of May at Ikeja centre, and I'm yet to see the 'decision made' tick. I applied for 6 months visa although it's been 4 years I traveled last. Wondering why the delay.

We already called UKVI and they said a decision has been made.
