Donxavier:

Can I process a canadian visiting Visa in the uk as a student? I mean if am in the uk on a Tier 4 visa can I go visiting my Uncle in canada? If yes, can you direct me to the thread so I just read up the requirements. Thanks and Nice work Vicjustice.

Vicjustice: You can apply for a visa of any country from any country if you hold a residence permit of the country that you are applying from.

prisca1: i was just refused a family visa with my son,because i didn't add my personal salary statement but i added my husband's statement with larger deposites and no evidence to support them. my husband has a part time job which earns him that deposits and he has invoices to back them, i aslo have a personal bank statement but the money is not too much. do u think i should re- apply or appeal am not in a hurry to travel

Vicjustice: Does this mean you come here only when you have issue?

Dark mark: Pls oh, Guys has any one had of τ̲̅ђe UKBA refusing a visa after 3weeks of processing of visa? I mean what's τ̲̅ђe probability of refusing a visa after 3weeks of processing of one document, pls i want to know.

Dave_icig: Dear All,
I am planning to request for a General Visitor / Tourist visa @ the UK Emabassy and i've got the following documents Intact.

Letter of Employment
Confirmation of employment
Job Function
Leave Letter
6 Months Pay Slips (Showing my monthly salary)
6 Months Bank Statement - showing my salary inflow & allowances over the past 6 months (with 1.1m as my balance)
Hotel Reservation
Company ID Card

As gave my documents to a friend who does UK Visa to people and she told me that my age is a problem, because i'm just 20yr +, she said that the VISA officer might be having some issues with my age that how can a Nigerian of 20yrs be working and earn 160k as monthly salary and also having a balance of 1.1m.

Kindly advice if truly there is a problem with my application.

I am still a student of University of Lagos but also works at thesame time as a Network Administrator with an IT firm.

Please Advice

ololo12: @ Justwise and vicjustice.. Please I need your help on this matter. I have been denied UK visit visa on two ocassion. The first denial was due to my inability to proof the fundsin my account with supporting documents like payslip and tax clearance(01-03-2012), I reapplied again on 03-05-2012 with 450k in my account, and the required documentation, I was refused on the grounds that I am taking more money than I can afford for the trip. Now I've lodged enough sum in my acct and want re-apply next month. I'll like to know my chances of getting the visa this time around!

Macheus: Thumbs up for you guys!!
I would know to how much a student VISA would cost and Travelling Ticket on economy class and as well flying with Arik or British Airways. I deemed to make enquiry about this because my VISA agent wants to rip me off,He told me VISA(80K while Ticket goes for N165K) Pls.how true is it? Thanks.

teejay_GO01: Hey guys! Vicjustice/justwise
Have kinds noticed a trend with the ECO from all the reading I've been doing. I noticed that if someone submits a flawless application the ECO will say something like 'I do not understnd y u wud want to use 1/4 of ur salry for a 14 day trip ( like its his business) for e.g if some1s annual tale home is 2M and they wanna use N500k for the trip that wud be d only reason given for refusal.
My question now is how can one avoid this? How can u convince the Eco that u r ok with spending that amnt of money on a holiday? Cos I think its a silly reason for refusal? Or?

teejay_GO01: Me again But this one is SERIOUS And SOMEHOW

I was going thru the ukba website and I noticed that they have changed the General visitor form( the date on it is now July 2012)

Do u know that uncles, aunts and cousins are no longer considered family and u cannot fill d family visitor form saying u want to go and see them.( Has this been in existence since? Or did they just change it)I filled a family visit visa to see my uncle in June(my mums brother)does that mean I filled the wrong form?

Secondly in this new gen visitorhey asked do u have any friend in the uk and in d guidance note they described friend as 'my mothers brothers son'which is obviously my cousin' Does this mean that when iam filling the form I'm going to put my uncles name under friends rather than under family(because uncles r no longer regarded as family)or I'll put his name under both

This is sooooo confusing and I would appreciate an explantion! *whew*

Vicjustice: You would still get refused for money lodgement violation

ololo12: Omg!!! What do you advise I do bro? I don't want to apply and get refused again. Plus I've got a US visa appt in oct, I want this UK visa on my pp before the interview so it can boost my chances of getting the US visa. Please help!!

justwise:

That law changed last month, the real definition of family member by UKBA is your mother, father or brother and sister that is it. Uncles and anties are not regarded as family member again.

I don't know how mother and brother could be regarded as friends, i never read that part.

prisca1: i was just refused a family visa with my son,because i didn't add my personal salary statement but i added my husband's statement with larger deposites and no evidence to support them. my husband has a part time job which earns him that deposits and he has invoices to back them, i aslo have a personal bank statement but the money is not too much. do u think i should re- apply or appeal am not in a hurry to travel

ololo12: Bro, your good to go with those documentation. However, I'll advise you apply after their olympics, you stand 80% of getting the visa and 90% if you apply in winter!!
