charles005: bro's thanks for your response, i just came back 3month ago can i apply now or i should let it be 6 month

thanks..... my brother i will keep you update as far as i go about the requirement

I applied for eea family permit at vfs lekki middle of last month,my mom also applied for 10 years uk visa last month too,up till now,we avent heard anything from them,I made enquiries at vfs abuja and I was told my application and my moms are at sheffield,this is over one month now

I don't like how every single thread on UK visa inquiries is locked and we get redirected here, this thread is 183 pages long for heaven's sake. How does one start going through all the pages to get the info they need....

just ask the question here, you would get a reply

it would be more beneficial if people can learn from and get all the info they need on one thread

hey buddies

You should hear from them this week!

Pls guys, I av a situation a friend was refused last
year, He had a balance of 526,000 naira after
submission, he get a monthly salary of 100K for
fours month and 120K for 2 months nd that showed
on his statement of account for six month
altogether,April- Sep. He included invoices that
shows how the in flow of his salaries, but didn't
show of the other money sent in like gifts or when a
friend use the account sending money to their
relatives though him that came into the account
apart from his salaries, except for the senders
names and also other transactions like withdrawals
from atm nd counter showed on the statement of
account too for the duration of six month presented.
The ECO refused entry saying I am not satisfied that
you seeking to enter the uk genuinely cos you
stated that the last time you saw your brother was
last month and you intend visiting him this month
not more that 50 days, secondly I am not convinced
that 350pounds will be enough for you to make a
trip to London and also return you back to Lagos, so
I refuse you this application on no ground of appeal.
My friend stated he is seeing his brother from the
10th Oct till 24th. That is 2 wks, also on the
application form filled he stated on where he was
ask how much will he use for himself personally of
his holiday in the UK he said 75,000 naira and also
on the form he was asked how much in total does he
have for the trip and he wrote 428,000 naira.
Mean while his uncle just got a six month visa from
the uk a month back while he was recently refuse by
SA embassy, but he applied for a conference of 5
days nd got a six month uk visa.
My friend didn't appeal the decision cos he didn't fill
a family visitor form cos he already has no right to
appeal he fill general visitor form. But from the
decision of the ECO he is very wrong to me cos he
can see him brother any time he like, also he was
actually going there for his 2 wks holiday from work
whereby he submitted every document from office,
like d leave letter and some other, also he submitted
the application exactly 40 days after he saw his
brother last just for about 40mins, he drove him to
the family house and couldn't meet him again till he
returned to UK cos of his work. Secondly ECO said I
don't think 350GBP will be okay for a return journey
from Lagos to London, whereas it was stated in the
application form that 350GBP was for personal up
keep in the UK for the holiday that will be just for
2wks while 428,000 his for the whole trip, while his
brother will take care of the accommodation since
he is staying with him and it was clearly stated in
the application form so I don't know why his
decision was so or is there any thing you feel he
used as a point to refuse the application?

She need to go with her for submission, they may need to see who is applying, take her picture or biometric details.

There is no specific time really. Some times it takes 2-3 weeks and some other times it takes longer

Do you work or own a business?

@djbaju

Don't you think that your friend should register and ask this question himself?

[b][/b]@justwise

thank you for your immediate response,ive been employed with my current work for almost 5yrs,i get paid around £390 per month less bills and other expenses i can save upto £100 per month..i hope i can save upto £650 by the time i submit the application

i will send in my 2 IVs fry bf and his dad,their payslips,bank statements,electric bills etc..do you think £650 is enough eventhough theyre going to provide for all my expenses?

@justwise,
Thank you.

Very sorry but your chances do not look too good.
Where you are weak is on your ties to return home, especially with going to visit boyfriend.
UKBA may think that you will want to stay.
Also you are using all your savings and funds for the visit, they do not like this.

As you do not have a lot of money it would be a shame to loose it on a visa application that may fail.
You should get better ties to home first & build up your funds.

i also have a follow up question of you dont mind

the questions:
"what money is available to you for your trip"
and
"what is the cost to you personally pf your stay in the UK?"

>> does mean the same? i mean should i put in the same answers? or does the first question pertains to my pocket money? and the 2nd question is for the entire trip?

and there's another question:
"if someone other than yourself is payinh for all or any part of this visit, how much money will they give you?">> since invited me,my bf and his dad will shoulder all of it,i will only carry pocket money for myself..should the answer to this also the same for the cost of my entire trip for 2weeks?

sorry questions are kinda tricky for me i need help

I actually need a guide that why I placed his issue first maybe from there I could get a way to guide myself on my application process mainly on the Fees needed for the whole trip, cos my month pay is 150k per month, it is just 50,000 over his own salary, I av seen some post too I wanted to know if I have a closing balance of 1,million upon submission and I intend to stay in d uk for just 2wks how much do you think I used for my up keep for the 2 wk at minimum, from what I av been seeing on the forum, I feel maybe 400-500GBP will do and i will state I have 450,000 for the whole trip

They want cash ready avaliable to pay travel costs.
Your savings can count towards your ties to home with property & child.

ohh so should i just transfer it then to my savings accouny to be readily available?

so you think my daughter and property will suffice as coming back home? ive travelled to 4diff countries in Asia so it'll show that im really a traveller hehe
