Hi all, Just arrived yankee for a two week visit. Just checked my passport in my hotel and surprisingly my passport was not stamped. The POE however, took my facial photograph and I spent less than a minute with her. POE was at Atlanta. Is this a new POE policy or she forgot to stamp my passport? POE: What is your business in US Me: To attend a conference POE: Okay Handed back my passport after facial photo taken Me: Is that all POE: Yes you can go. 1 Like |

Authority180: Sorry for the refusal. The ECO must have had a bad day. The reasons are neither here or there. I would encourage you to reapply. The reasons for the refusal can be addressed in a good cover letter. 1. The ECO did not question your finance or the ability to fund the trip - Good 2. Going by your cover letter, ECO could not justified you spending two weeks, in which most of it was devoted to shopping without specific details. There are not too many shopping opportunity in Liverpool. However, this can be explained by listing the shops you want visits. 3. The ECO noted your lack of European tourist experiences. You can tell the ECO, that your choice of the UK was based on language, cultural historical relationship with Nigeria as it's colonial master etc. 4. Your Choice of Liverpool, can be explain too. You prefer to take trips to London (only on two occasions) was because you wanted a quite city, and wanted to enjoy the serene landscape as you have plans to travel to London by train or bus. Liverpool is also central as it allows you to travel north to visit cities like Glasgow, Edinburgh and Newcastle. 5. The ECO noted that you did not research your visit. Yes you did, there are unique tourist site in Liverpool, like Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine, Antfield stadium as a Liverpool fan. Liverpool convention centre, the famous Liverpool docks and fishing villages etc Hope this help when reapplying. 4 Likes |

kod161: From the refusal letter. It is clearly stated that applicant apply for a visa to visit the UK. Likely the previous refusal was also for a visitor visa. In the last application the poser was unemployed and wanted to use his parent as the sponsor. In 5 months time the poser is employed and having received salary for 4 months, the next thing is that he want to visit the UK. Although you circumstances has changed from unemployment to employment. However, planing to commit your 4 months salaries to visit the UK was a red flag. Did you let the ECO know that you have zero monthly expenses in your application. The ECO observed that you only had inflow and no outflow in your bank statement, meaning that someone was covering your living expenses in Nigeria. In summary this is a badly package application hence the refusal. Remedy: Chill. Do not try to reapply. Focus on your job at least for the next 24 months. This will show the ECO that you are not desperate to visit the UK. When reapplying. Include the following. 1. Letter of introduction from your employer. If it is a private company, ensure that the company is active on CAC website 2. Leave letter 3. Bank statement with outflow/inflow. Demonstrate you incur some expenses and not living off your parents. At least you dey buy data. 3. Itinerary of your activity in the UK 4. A letter that address the last refusal and the steps you have taken to remedy them. Its is well. 1 Like |

Pekela:. Same requirement for anyone with a Nigerian passport applying from Nigeria. You must demonstrate to ECO that you will leave the UK after your trip. Read through backward for the documents you need to submit. Your US green card only permit you to also apply from the US. |

giselle237: Things has change a lot for Nigerian passport holder. You are right. The poser should check this website for information on how to apply for ATV. https://www.netherlandsworldwide.nl/visa-the-netherlands/airport-transit-visa/apply-nigeria Better still, poser can avoid the Schengen area by using airlines like Turkish, Ethiopia, Kenya or Emirate. |

Suparhuman001: No. Knowing someone in the US sometimes can be negative. Sure you are well off to afford an hotel for your honeymoon. Note the VO will be looking at your previous applications to convinced himself if your circumstance has changed. |

babyfaiz: US citizens are visa free to the UK. That is they do not require a visa to visit the UK. Having said that. You can carry their birth certificate just in case the POE asked to show that you’re their mother. The POE many cross-checked if you added your US kids in your visa application as dependents. |

Vitusvivi: It is not a must. Taking you dependent along with you to the UK on a student visa is optional. I hope the scholarship is for post graduate studies. |

TiffanyDavies: My last application for 5 years visa took 12 days from submission of biometrics on 10/03/2022 to collection of passport on 25/03/2022 for an academic conference. If the conference is your primary reason. Select business For Host: provide the name of the contact/organizer, email and telephone number and address. You will also need an invitation letter from the conference organizer. There will an opportunity for elaborate and give more detail on the main reason for your visit and other activities you will do after the conference. If you decide to go the way of a tourist then you do not need provide the above information. 3 Likes |
