zhara71: For tier 4 student visa, if you are to submit your birth certificate and it shows your family name on it, parents name correctly(Hassan Mamman and Hadiza Hassan Mamman) and my name as Mamman "Aliram" Zara.Family name(I.e Mamman)and along with my application also submitted my parents international passport data pages which also shows family name"mamman"!but in my international passport shows "Mamman Zara Hassan"is it going To be a problem?I will be waiting to hear from you.thanks.


I think you'll be fine and if you're not too confident with it , you can go to the local courts to get a certificate with the name you like to be known as

what names are on your school documents?

It isn't advisable.

It means the same sponsor with that account is sponsoring someone else again after a short period. If I'm not mistaken, there should be a place in the form where they ask if that person has sponsored someone else within a certain period. Would you answer yes to that question and indicate when?

If the person that previously used the account is your brother and the sponsor is your parent: and ultimately, if there is evidence of financial capability, why not?
But if otherwise, I don't see how you can pull it through

O yeah, even your brother-in-law can sponsor you with his own life savings to travel to travel to the UK for your own vacation?


Is it strange that a brother inlaw can sponsor his relative by law? Just because it won't work for some people, as would many other comparable circumstances, doesn't mean it doesn't happen. Anyone can sponsor anyone, especially a relative, and better when relationship with the sponsor and reason for sponsorship can be reasonably established.

reasons could be offered choice especially when the sponsor is financially capable, and is willing to sponsor. The onus on the applicant is usually to prove return by showing circumstantial ties and consistency.

I disagree with you on that "anyone can sponsor anyone" because, i know that there are very scanty circumstances in which it may be considerable for an adult tourist to be sponsored by another adult.

If a person is able to "prove (the tendency to) return by showing circumstantial ties and consistency" then why would he need a sponsor? I'm asking because, it is easier to raise fund for self-sponsorship than to prove home tie-something to return home for

Such letter will not be returned to you since it was addressed to the embassy or/and produced for the purpose of the visa application: you may need another letter for another application

Lazy comment people make when they failed to come up with valuable argument. Why not counter his points rather than calling him names?

Like I stated earlier on, I have seen it happen personally ie an adult sponsoring an adult. But just like other viable options, it might not work all the time given the uncertainties of the ECO's. no lazy comment

@ riteaide

I think if an adult want to sponsor an adult. He should have at least 7million naira in the sponsor account that can be justify when ECO is reviewing the application .

An adult can sponsor another adult for medical treatment but not for leisure trip to the UK, if you can't afford foreign holiday comfortably then don't bother going to BHC hoping that they accept the story that another adult is sponsoring you for holiday.

Depending on who is looking at it, and reasonable facts, an adult can have a sponsor. Having said that, that adult must of course give good reason for not being able to sponsor themselves/or why the sponsor has offered to. No flimsy stories will do. If there is a genuine reason and a sensible one at that, apart from medical reasons, it is definitely doable.

This is not to mislead people, I would totally recommend having the financial ability to sponsor one's own travel without having need for a sponsor, but if there is a reason they can't, they can have a sponsor.

Give me one single reason why an adult will be able to sponsor another adult for holiday to the UK, just one.

There are many, and it would depend on the person's circumstances. I invited my adult brother to the UK last year before I left and all we hammered on was because we were close and I had insisted an sponsoring his visit because I wanted him to visit,especially since his job didn't pay well at the time. This was allowed. We just showed how close we and reasons he would return back.

Hello house,

VicJustice and co,

This is just to inform you all that I have been given the UK visa. My advice to anyone who is about applying is to just include every possible document that would aid your application. You would be amazed which vital detail on a seemlingly irrelevant document would aid you in getting the visa. take care all

If your story is true, it wouldn't have taken you so long to present it, but for the fact that you had made series of replies before giving your story to make a point, I'm of the opinion that you're just making it up to back up your claim: I find no credibility in your afterthought story

I know your kind. Now you say I argued because I saw things differently. We're you not the one who began to argue aggressively because I saw things differently? You want your word to be last.

Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 2 by ebony9ja(m): 5:35am On Sep 14, 2013
I need to recall my passport urgently!!

I submitted a general visitor application (family) to the UK via VFS office at lekki on Thursday(Sept 12) My application was for a long term renewal while the rest of the family were for shorter terms. We all have valid US visas . However, I received a call on Thursday evening (same day) informing me of an official trip in Houston on September 21. Please note that I did not pay the extra 25k to fast-track my application as I did not have a prior knowledge of the Houston trip. I was at VFS on Friday and was told the applications have been sent to Sheffield -UK for processing. I couldn't pay the extra money for fast track as this is not allowed for document-in -process.
I need my passport back latest next Friday(5 days ) .i will be grateful if any of the expert can shed light on the following: Do I write to the embassy explaining my predicament ? What is the process of passport recall? Am I going to pay the visa fee again when I eventually return the passport after my trip? Is it possible to send an appeal letter to expedite action in my application within a week? I have 5 days left effective next week Monday.this is my situation. Please help.
