Please documents submitted...

Good day here.

please help a nephew of mine. This nephew of mine has a UK birth certificate issued at the time of his birth. His dad had a leave to remain status in his Nigerian passport as at the time he was given birth to (which was meant to be renewed yearly) but unfortunately the dad left UK (alongside the mum who was a Nigerian too with a Nigerian passport) when my nephew was around 3years. The dad wasn't issued an ILR before he left. Now, my nephew wants to claim a British citizen, how will he go about it before he does the unthinkable?

Responses from people with vast experience here will be well appreciated.

Hello house, please may I know the procedure at which you upload document before biometric using a laptop? Also I am sponsoring myself with hostel booking may I know which category I place these documents? Eg residency, financial, etc

Candybright:

If you attach a cover letter and you wrote the correct figure in the cover letter it may not count....cos I made such mistake in my additional info but wrote the correct figure in the cover letter and it didn't count. Just be positive.

My brother, One Love.
But let me correct you with love and also with the truth.
Your application was shaft to the VO.
In the first paragraph, they VO noted that your application didn't even carry information that would able them know if you cleared for entry.
Secondly brother, the financial situation you used is slim, very slim.
Now UK has a way of reviewing your financial records and they did it here again.
Please to everyone reading this, if your total expenses for the Visit trip is more than or almost 2 times of your monthly salary, consider that application refuse except you show you have legit other means of income. If you receive 200k every month and you spend 100k for expenses. How much remains? That's 100k. 100k times 12 is 1.2M. how do you makes 1.2M in a year and spend almost 500k on a visit trip??
Please if you making an application and you don't understand the financial situation, ask someone. That's the problem alot of us had. The Embassy knows how it works, if you don't meet up. You are refuse.

I'm sorry to hear that bro.
All the best

Good evening all!

As an update on my Complaints to Home Office against the reasons for my refusal, I sent out the mail on Sept 19. So last week while I was out of the country on official assignment, "an oyinbo person" called my organization and my colleague that picked the call, disclosed that she was asked details about my position, number of years I had worked at the organization and my salary.

All the info she provided corresponded to the details I had earlier provided in my application except for the salary, which she told the person, she doesn't have access to such information. The office line is designed in such a way that any staff can pick incoming calls

Moving forward, 2 days ago, I got this generic message from:
UKHUBVisaInfo@fco.gov.uk
Monday (2 days ago)


Dear

Your UK visa application has been concluded by Visits UK and will shortly be dispatched.
Votre demande de visa a ete traitee par notre service Visites Visa UK et la decision vous sera communiquee dans les plus brefs delais.Veuillez s il vous plait lire les instructions concernant la recuperation de votre passport......

I was already jubilating on how I would tell my success story here

Only for me to get another mail today again from Complaints via homeoffice.gov.uk

HO Reference:

Dear ....



Thank you for your email correspondence of 19 September where you have raised a complaint about the refusal of your Entry Clearance application.


We apologize for the error you have identified in the original refusal notice. An updated decision notice has been sent to you.


The onus in on visa applicants to demonstrate their circumstances are as claimed. There is no obligation upon decision makers to verify employment along the lines suggested by you in your complaint.

Moreover, at no point does the refusal notice challenge your employment as claimed or that you do not have sufficient funds available to cover the expenses of the proposed visit. Employment was not an area of concern and therefore the Decision Maker did not need to make any checks. (But note that they called my office oo)

If you can address the concerns raised in the refusal notice, it is open to you to make a new application which will be assessed on its merits.



I apologise for any inconvenience caused to you in this matter but I am unable to uphold your complaint.



I believe I have addressed all the points you have raised. (My other complaint on the miscalculation of my planned expenditure and monthly income was not addressed). However if you feel that there are specific aspects that have not been addressed you can request a review of our response within one month of the date on this letter.



I really dont understand how to proceed cos it seems there is a gap between the first mail I got on Monday and today's mail from Home Office. I have attached the refusal letter and the complaint letter I sent to HO for aid our delibrations @justwise and others please help

First all I have to admit my complete novice status in all these. However when a request is made on how much you intend to spend they want to know the cost of your return ticket, accommodation, and the amount u intend to spend on feeding, not just the 200k u planned to spend on shopping . It appears the eco made her own deductions and decided it will be as much as 4-5x your monthly income. But then again we have no way of knowing since it was not explicitly stated probably because they think most refusals are not appealed. In the circumstances you can milk the refusal letter for all that it's worth. Good luck. Keep us posted

Justblow:


For question one, father circumstances changed, he is no longer taking responsibility, you are now in charge of that


Ignore paragraph two, once you state he is now dependent on you, its a enough, as too much information at times confused the ECO.

Collect all the receipt of rent payment, at least the ones you can lay your hands on

Would a letter from my mum + her passport bio data page + my brothers birth certificate suffice (he is older brother but has medical condition) suffice as ties alongside with proof of monthly stipend?....... This is solid.

I have stated in my invitation letter that my mum lives at home with my dad. Should I also state that my brother lives with them?

In that invitation letter, I also stated that I am financially responsible for my brother.

Can you advise if I should state that the 50k + 50k i send to both my dad and mum is to financially support my mum, dad and my brother? Or should it state that its for my mum and dad only?

Kindly advise please as this is the last bit of this application before I submit it. Thanks.

hosey:

Y not send an email to complaints stating your GWF number and other stuff.

I did and got a response that they can't do anything or update my profile since it's been submitted and biometrics done. Faith is all I've got right now.

pajabs:
@justwise and other expert in the house. Please kindly go through this my refusal letter and clarify the reason for the refusal because I don’t just understand. And no right ofappeal.

287k salary with monthly spending of 100k leaving you with balnace of 187k and you were supposed to spend about 400k meaning you will be spending more than 2times your disposable income.

This has been said repeatedly here that YOU MUST NOT SPEND MORE THAN TWICE YOUR DISPOSABLE INCOME.
Sorry for your refusal

Hello house, I applied for a tier 2 dependant visa but decided to cancel the application because plans changed. I'll be applying again by Dec. I got a refund for the visa fee but not the IHS. My question is, do I need to take any step for IHS to be refunded or its going to be automatic like the visa fee. Its exactly 32days that I cancelled.

Thanks

...

Please let me make you aware of this.
Big credit in your account does not move the VO.
What you should note is that, every money in your account should be fixed. The VO do not want to see inconsistent crediting .
All the "big money" like you said should come with a deposit receipt if available or a written reference letter from the bank.
Now, take note: your total expenditure in the UK should not exceed a monthly income.
That's it.
If you total trip exceed your monthly salary or almost two times your monthly intake, then it won't be greeted well. That's a trick you should know.

All the gurus in the house...please kindly advise on the below pretty pleaseeeee:

In June 2017, I invited my dad to visit me in the UK for three weeks, but his visa was refused.

I submitted...

1. my bank statement
2. Proof of mortgage
3. Six month payslip
4. Letter of invitation

My dad is in his 70's. A retired business trader and currently relies on me for Monthly stipend which I send via western union online to his bank acount every month.

At the time of filling the form back then. On the form..he was asked if anyone depends on him and lives with him at home and also if he had any family ties.

He 'put' on the form..Yes

And he stated in the additional information that my mum and my immediate elder brother (in his 30's) who is visually impaired 'depend' and lives at home with him as my brother needs care as a result of his medical condition. my dad stated this as family ties and he will be coming back to Nigeria.

At the time...my dad did not realise that 'dependent' as stated on the form means 'financially dependent'.

At the time...he did not submit his bank statement or any proof to show my brothers medical records.

I didn't raise an eye brow on this at the time of that application in 2017 as I had one year earlier invited my mum and she was granted a visa without submitting any of her bank statement as I was sponsoring her entire trip.

I now know better about submitting lots of proofs after reading and following this thread for the past three months!

I am now looking to invite him again. I will be sponsoring his entire trip including flight. Accommodation. Feeding.

This time looking to supply the following....

1. Mortgage statement

2. Current account And savings account Statement with £5,000 balance (will transfer £1,500 from savings to current and then to my dad's account to support his flight ticket)

3. Letter of invitation

4. Payslip six month

5. Flight itinerary

6. 12 months Proof of monthly stipend receipts that I send monthly to him

My dad will be submitting the following

1. a cover letter addressing the 2017 refusal and stating that he retired from trading business and does not have a pension and relies on stipend from me. And that he misunderstood the question that while my brother lives at home...he (dad) is not financially responsible for him as my dad is retired. The finance that care for my brother comes from monthly stipend I send to my parents every month.

2. Six Bank statement that shows the monthly stipend I send to him

3. Bank statement that shows stipends I send to my mum too

4. A medical certificate for my brother from a private hospital where he does his monthly medical check up

5. Letter from my mum stating she will care for my brother while my dad is away on this trip (please note that my mum has visited the UK since then and on her own form, she filled that "no one is financially dependent on her as she is a home maker/housewife)

I have attached the refusal letter from 2017 to this post

Will the fact that my elder brother living at home affect my dad's application as my dad is retired?

Also, I am trying to fill his application form right now and the form says:

Does anyone rely on you for financial support? This include children over 18 who live with you at home.

Should the answer be YES or NO?

Can you good people in the house kindly advise on what else I need to add as documentation and if I am missing anything out.

I will appreciate every help I can get.

Thanks very much.

In the new application, on the question: Does anyone rely on you for financial support? This include children over 18 who live with you at home.

My dad has selected NO.

And in the additional information, he stated the following:
-----
I am no longer financially responsible for the dependent. This responsibility is covered by my son in the UK as he sends me & my wife a monthly allowance for the 3 of us (Me, my wife & dependent). I have included mine & my wife's bank statement to demonstrate this.
-----

Would the above explanation be ok? As I send both my mum and dad 50k each monthly that covers for my brother who is the dependent in this situation? Or should my dad state that the allowance is just for my mum and dad and no mention of dependent brother?

Good evening. My acquaintance is applying for a UK Visa. We just made visa payment and we are in the TLS portal to select appointment date(Assisted Service). We have seen a date, a message popped up: You are selecting an ASSISTED SERVICE date for 8am with charges, if we click yes, hope the said charges is just the initial 10k TLS assisted service fee selected?

I believe the total sum of what you will pay will be shown before you proceed to confirm your appointment. I think you should pick time from 9:30. Don't pick 9am and 12pm as that's for super priority. If you do, when you get there, you MUST pay 42k or go back and reschedule another free date.

Thank for your respond, it was not a deposit but the cash flow in the account is much. I mean deposit and withdraw as a business man.

Kindly assist

Let her apply alone.

She should include in her cover letter that her husband already has Visa but due to her not been available for the trip, he didn't go.
Let him give a copy of his bio page and visa and attach it.
His wife should carry all relevant documents to show she has ties with Nigeria , like current job and people who depend on her.

She would most likely be given. 98%.

Thank you so much. It ended successfully. God bless
