Travel / Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 5 by Baba19: 10:04am On Jan 03 |
Good news, my people. I got the visa last week. Just a reminder, on my previous visa application, I made the mistake of not declaring a previous UK visa refusal from 17 years ago as I tink sey the question nah about last 10 years (the question came right after another asking about last 10 year visit history so I tink say nah also 10 years refusal dem dey ask). So, I come declare cyprus refusal which was within 10 years and come leave out the UK one. Nah after I join nairaland and go back to the form that I saw my mistake. On this application, I come read and read the form well and see say nah lifetime refusals dem dey ask of and so I declare am and even add say the last time, I make mistake no declare am etc. I fear but I come get the visa. 5 year in the bag! Lezzgo. Praise God and three gbosas for all those who always help here! Baba19: 3 Likes |

I no know too much about that one. There should be another thread for those who wan move to the UK. Search for it on nairaland and you fit ask them for the steps there. But I advise you go to the website first and understand the process so you have background knowledge and can ask specific questions. rickie67: |

Bro. Your question is still vague. Do you mean bring a family member on a visiting visa or to live there? If nah to live there, please check out other threads on this. This thread is regarding visit visas. If that's your case, your family member needs to send you an invitation letter alongside their British passport copy or Naija Passport plus BRP. You need to complete the entire form and decide if you can sponsor yourself or if the person needs to sponsor you. If they need to sponsor, you need to explain why they are sponsoring and they will need to provide past 6 months bank statement and payslips. You also provide your own statement, payslips and prove ties to Naija. It's best you are upfront and state your exact situation. Can you afford to sponsor yourself or should they sponsor you? Are you employed, studying or self employed? What do you earn? Marital status etc. Please read through the read to see how this works or nobody go answer you. rickie67: |

Okay. You can definitely use it. Was in the Bahamas again in October for 40th birthday and nah US Visa I use enter but it's good to always double check. I like your style. As for Mexico, that's a big shame meehn. Chai!! Thank God for US Visa, I swear. Just praying I get this second UK visa. Make I cool myself. Opeyemi007: Oh ok. I got a five years US too, Iāll use it. Emailed tourism@bahamas.com yesterday to confirm I could use it. Thanks for letting me know. Mexico has stopped entry by UK visa btw. My friend couldnāt use hers this year, and had to get the visa at embassy here in Lagos. 1 Like |

No wahala, bro. Weāre all here to help each other. I have a U.S. Visa so thatās what I used to enter Bahamas, Mexico, Jamaica and other Caribbean countries. But for Barbados, I didnāt need any visa at all. With UK visa, I believe you can enter Mexico freely as well. Opeyemi007: |

Amelia the oracle!!! Thank you sis. You still dey this market šššš Nah your guidance and format I use that 2021 whey they give us visa after delaying us for more than 50 working days. Chai!!! I used that visa twice that time. First time for one week and from London, I ja go Bahamas and then I returned again for another week and commot. Iām back for renewal now and hoping for the best. That time, I had been to 14 countries. Iāve gone to more now. Itās now 21 so my travel history stand well. Business is still going well. I added all my documents- my previous visas, personal and business statements, savings statement which my wife keeps, documents for the home we own etc. My downsides: money for account no too dey. Secondly, remember in the first application I made the mistake of thinking visa refusal question was about the last 10 years so I only declared cyprus refusal and didnāt declare the UK. but this time it is clear and I put the first and only Uk visa refusal I got there which is 17 years old. You can check my former posts as a reminder. Abeg, advise a brother! AmeliaT: |

My people! How far? Long time, no speak!!! Reading up on the past few pages and itās like people no dey come back to the oracle to give visa alert report like before. All my guys applied for renewal back in September and got their visas within a week. Whatās average processing time now for first timers and renewers? One love! |

You see? I talk am just a few hours ago when someone whose visa expired in 2019 still dey ask boya he qualifies. SMH!! I tire for Nigerians. We are more corrupt than the leaders we insult! Rubbish!!! Anyone who does that, should be stopped from applying for the next year. Since we feel we are so smart!! ChrisRocks: 3 Likes |

Or what does one say again? You see the information on their official website and still come to ask boya na lie. I have seen Giselle's frustrated comments many times before. I now understand. Ahah!! Something written so clearly, still come dey ask whether nah lie. Nah lie now. Or you take the time to send links to people and they don't even bother to check or the rejection email clearly says that you deposited an amount just before visa application and we still dey ask- Please, what went wrong? We are our own problem as Nigerians. I swear! Make we try dey fix up! One love!!!! leef2022: 2 Likes |

My people!!! God done show!!! Received my visa today. Thank God; I was so afraid because of the big blunder I made regarding the previous refusal question. Nah God oh!! Wishing more visa rain for everybody. Thanks for the advice @Nchabuomo On my subsequent applications, shall I answer yes to that question and list both UK and Cyprus since I now have clarity or will it be a continuity problem since I didn't list the UK before. Kindly advise for next time. Thanks again, y'all!!! Baba19: 2 Likes |

You can keep refreshing every hour. When do you want to travel? I hope you've seen the waiting time for most is 40 Working days and above. I have now been waiting for over 50 WD. More than 10 weeks. So, bear this in mind in your application. You also have the option to wait for fast track to resume and you pay for that. Rerin: |
Travel / Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 4 by Baba19: 6:45pm On Dec 30, 2021 |
Thanks. The second part you mentioned, that's the part that I actually put no. I thought it was still referring to the last 10 years, so I included a 2017 Cyprus refusal but omitted the UK 2006. All I can do now is hope and pray. TheGreatGod: |

Spot on! The ban starts from the date of deception; it is clearly stated there as you said. Not from the date of first refusal, unfortunately. So, it's valid till 2031. mimilyrics: 1 Like |

WOW! Hello house, @giselle237, Prophetess Debbie, Good Morning and well done. Pleaseeee, I need your help. I just read this story and I may be in similar shoes. I applied for a UK visa 2 months ago. I submitted necessary docs, healthy business and personal account statement, marriage certificate, ties etc. I also listed all my previous travel history which includes roughly 14 countries- The US, UAE, South Africa, Qatar, Bahrain, The Bahamas, Cayman Island, Jamaica, Mexico; amongst others. I want to believe my good travel history, finances, ties make me a good candidate to consider. Now, here is my main issue and fear based on the above. They asked a question about have you been to the UK in the last 10 years and I said no which is correct. Have you been banned, deported, I also said no which is correct. Have you been refused a visa to the UK or any other country and I said yes and listed one country which was Cyprus with the reason- the visa was severely delayed and when they checked my hotel booking, it had been cancelled. The embassy even reached out to me regarding this but the course I was going for had already passed so I didn't bother rebooking the hotel or taking it up with them. Now, the issue is that I thought these questions related to the last 10 years. So, I didn't include the fact that I was refused a UK Visa back in 2006; 15 years ago when I was a Master's student. It was only after I read this OP's story that I went back to the form and realized the 10 year question only related to the visitation. But the question on refusal was based on one's entire life. Is there anything I can do? Can I write to them to explain that I misunderstood the question and declare that I was refused a UK visa back in 2006? What can be done since I mistakenly declared only 1 refusal of Cyprus instead of 2- Cyprus and the UK? What are my chances? I am really palpitating and don't know what to do to fix this please. I would really appreciate any advice I can get. God bless. Kaddy102: |
