where did u apply? VI or Ikeja

Ikeja centre will be better for you since you dont have much time. Ikeja centre takes 1 week. From what i hv read here sha. Just keep the extra 18k

The extra 18k is for WHAT?

We are considering reducing the budget to 2300 and I would b going with my daughter alone.

justwise:


Considering the amount involved here I'm not sure using your daddy as your sponsor will work. I guess traveling with your kids to spend that much within short period is the issue here.

justwise:


No don't move money use the company's account for the visa application because it's a business trip.

Thanks boss. I appreciate

What you pay to use the centre in Ikeja. I stand to be corrected tho

justwise, is ur email addy still justwise@......

@just wise pls I would like to make enquiries about UK visa. I Av applied 3times now and I was denied visa as a result of the financial statement I presented. @ d moment, my passport has expired and I will like to get another passport in my maiden name cos I used my husbands name den and we av separated cos of some personal reasons. Dis embassy pple can be funny sometimes, I hope dey won't be thinking dat I changed my name cos I want to deceive dem. Then secondly, I was told that its only in Abuja passport office u can change d name on ur passport; pls how true is dis? Thanks

I dropped my email address here years ago and that email is purely for nairaland and I don't use it anywhere else.

I still receive email sent through that email address but my point is I will never contact anybody here asking for payment or favour in exchange for any advice given here or off nairaland.

I will never contact anybody through that email address to sale or to market any deal.

oh..ok

So u got my mail then. from lachi***

So today I went for my appointment at Teleperformance in Abuja to submit my application, and after submitting my docs, I was told I should wait for interview. Lol and behold, they ushered me into a small room with a system and the visa officer from UK was on skype ready to interview me. The conversation was like this:

Hello All, I am new here. I have gone through some posts in this forum and they have been helpful, however, I am still a bit confused and I need help. I applied for a visiting visa last year Aug and i was denied on the premise that transaction in my account is irregular and suspicious (I got a credit alert of almost times two of my monthly salary) and seems to them like i inflated my account for the purpose of getting a visa, family ties and no travel history. I work in a firm that pays relatively well. My fiance is currently working in uk , prior to when i even applied last year, but i told him not to invite me cos i felt my job and salary should be able to convince them that i can finance my trip, that was why i applied on my own, yet i was denied. Now, I want to reapply for another visa, my fiance and I are contemplating that he should invite me this time and we should let them know that he didnt invite me last year cos I was not engaged/in a relationship with him. I am actually confused on how to go about this application. I am scared of being rejected again. please kindly advise me on how to go about this application, thank you.
justwise and other gurus in this house, please helppppppp.

Should I change d date of intended travel in making the new application, I was denied d first one and y hv told me to address the issues raised. I put in Aug 01, 2015 as when I want to commence travel. seeing that it took 3 weeks fro d first application, if I send in one now, it will be ready by early Aug, so can I move d date to like Aug 08.

And don't you think sales would be closing by 1st week in Aug?

Yes your fiancé can invite you and include his bank statement, payslip and proof of accommodation.
You need to submit your salary account, payslip, employment letter and leave letter. If you have pictures of you and your fiancé submit that as well.
If there is any payment into your salary account other than the salary you need to explain the source.
Add any property or investment evidence you have

You are only making things difficult for yourself and giving the Eco more reasons to refuse a visa and doubt your intentions.

How can you apply for visa as somebody going on leave but you don't have leave letter neither do you know when your leave is starting?

Lets say I requested for leave to commence in August and my company approved, I applied for visa and was refused. Meaning, I will be at home in Aug doing nothing when I can re-apply or apply to another country now and get a visa and comfortably pick a date later in the year, say Sept/October. That's what I had In mind. Assuming I got the first one, I would hv taken my leave from July ending, I was moved to a new unit mid-year, that's why I hv d option to pick any date I want any time. I only want to be sure b4 I req.

If you say so, I will reaply wt a leave letter for Aug

alternatively, your letter of introduction from your employer should state that you would be on leave during the period and you intend to spend your time in the UK.
