ekpotek, judtwise and other gurus in the house

please help me to analyse and advice on how to go about my refusal issues... if I can apply back by reducing my total cost of the trip or what?

Chibabe4Christ:
Abeg o @Justwise and @Ekpotek and other gurus I will like to be clarified about this - Is anything wrong to change your email address from the former one I used previously. I used my gmail previously which is informal but decided to use my company email address which is more formal. Is anything wrong with that please.

galazito:

any response on this?

Good morning house. Please I have a friend who is a fashion designer, her shop is not registered with CAC so she doesn't pay tax. She uses her personal bank account for all the money paid by her customers. Her husband's UK visa just expired and both of them want to go to UK together now on visit so her husband will apply for 2years and she will apply for 6months. Can she say she want to sponsor her trip herself or her husband can sponsor her? Her husband's salary is 250k monthly. If she want to sponsor herself how can she go about it because her fashion designing shop is not registered. They have 2 children but they are not going with them.

Good morning guys. I'm a youth corper and would want to go for a 2 weeks holiday late December and intend applying next week. My uncle in the UK (ILR) and his wife (British citizen) would be accommodating me for that period. He's providing me with an invitation letter stating the above, tenancy agreement, bank statement, visa doc, passport biodata. My dad would be sponsoring my flights and expenses. I have a monthly income of N47,680 (nysc allowance inclusive). I intend providing the following supporting docs as well;

My bank statement showing my personal income.

NYSC posting and call-up letters.

Acceptance and absorption letter from my employer showing employment period and allowance.

My dad's bank statement and property documents and a letter of sponsorship from him.


I have two questions please.

1) What should be my estimated cost of travel?
2) What else do I need to perfect to make my application favourable as I'm a first time applicant with no travel history.

Good morning guys.
Good work you do here.
I have an early appointment but not sure of something. I applied for a uk visa years before biometrics with different given names, same surname and different date of birth. I since corrected my passport.
When i am asked now if i have been refused before do i say yes. I have never been refused under the passport i use now?
I'm thinking of including it in a typed additional information since i clicked no and cant edit. What do you gurus think?

ekpotek:


1. Only you can determine that. You can read back to see posting on cost
2. Question you need to ask yourself is what are my ties to Nigeria that will compel me to return? With your level of income and still dependent on your father, your ties to Nigeria is weak. That’s what the ECO will assume.

Good work you guys are doing here. please my fiance sent me an invite to come visit her this December. to show proof of our relationship, do i print the whatsapp chat or screenshot them and print on A4. thanks

Pelaiye2703:

ekpotek:


Sorry for your refusal. The issues is not about the cost of trip. The issue here is the unexplained inflow into your account which amount to over £5000 within 6 months. If you claimed to spend £200 monthly leaving a deposible income of £489. Assuming you do not touch this amount, that will be £489x 6 = £2934. This is far less than £5000. You will need to explain the sources and purposes of every inflow into your account in the past six months outside your salary to ECO if you want to re apply.

justwise:


1. You planned to spend too much within 6days in the U.K which is like spending your 3months salary in 6days.

2. You lodged significant amount in your bank balance close to the date of your application

galazito:


pls sir can I prepare a covering letter and reapply immediately with the same docs, explaining all the inflows in my account because I had a furniture, conveyance and leave allowance that entered my account... am afraid if they will not see it as if am desperation.

ekpotek:


Sure she can sponsor herself. The question both of you will need to answer is why leave your 2 children behind? Who will take care of them while your’re away? If she has supporting documents and a good records of her fashion business, backed up with references from her clients, then she can apply. However, she will need to convince the ECO why her business is unregistered till now.

ekpotek:


1. You will need 6 month bank statement and pay slips
2. Submit you business tax clearance
3. That observation is if you’re funding the trip for one person. Since you plan to travel with 2 kids, then your budget will be way above N480K
4. No you cannot edit after online submission. However you can print the form and make corrections with tipex and submit along with your documents. If you’re not comfortable, you can cancel the application and start an new one. Request for a refund of your previous application money.
5. That is not a honest mistake. UKVI can determine past countries refusals without a refusal stamp. You must admit it or you’re likely to be ban for misrepresentation.
6. Your application will be assessed based on your circumstances in Nigeria regardless of the documents provided by your UK invite.
7. The ECO is likely to assess if this sort of accommodation (a military barrack) is suitable for a mother with two kids on a visit visa vis a vis UK national security.

Thanks for the response, as regards (2) I'm presently undergoing my NYSC which ends in March next year, I have a call up letter, posting letter stating this period and a letter of absorption from my employer stating this period as well. These wouldn't suffice?

If not, is there any other documentation I might need to prove ties to Nigeria as I only intend holidaying and getting back after 2 weeks?
