Hello Nairalanders, My mum’s visa application was just refused. She intends to visit my brother who is on a tier 4 visa with his family. He just finished from school and has his graduation coming up. I am fully sponsoring my mum for this trip and I included my bank statements, and all the details as regards sponsoring. My mum is retired and she included her bank statements and everything that shows she gets her income from family because her pension has not been paid. She also attached her retirement letter. She has also been to 2 countries as travel experience, which I sponsored. Please find attached the refusal letter and I would like to know what to do. Should she reapply and what should we do better next time because I really can’t understand their reason for refusal. Should she reapply and get a letter from the pension board affirming that they have not paid the pension or what else should we do?

Hello Everyone, My mum wants to visit the Uk and I will be her sole sponsor, I have been financially responsible for her since she retired and it shows it her bank statement. In the application, where it ask how much are you spending PERSONALLY, does she need to put any amount since I am the one sponsoring her trip 100%. Note she does not have alot as minimum balance . Also in the sponsor letter, do I need to state the exact amount I am sponsoring her with?There is a part in the application that asked about this and she added it. I will also be submitting my bank statements as sponsor. Then is there no free date for biometrics anymore? All the dates available we have to pay for it, even if we want self service?

Hello Everyone… I have been reading this thread and need advice on how to process my mum’s visit visa to the Uk. My mum is retired but will like to visit my brother in the Uk for his masters graduation for 3weeks. My brother went for his Msc with his family. My mum has not been paid her pension and does not currently have any source of income. The only inflow of money in her account is the monthly upkeep my brother and I give her. Should I include my statement of account as her sponsor, or just put some money in her account. Should my brother include his statement of account?… please note he doesn’t earn much, he is a student and he just graduated. How do we go about this application please.

Hi Everyone, I am new here. I tried to read and digest this thread but I just don’t understand. My mother would like to migrate to the Uk as a Registered Nurse. She worked with Lagos state General hospital for 35years. She retired last year. She is 59yrs. She wants to be close the a few of her family in the Uk that’s why she wants to relocate legally. She also wants to get busy, she hates been idle and wants to work. Is it possible to migrate to the Uk with her age?
If yes what are the steps?
I would be very glad if someone can put us through thank you �

Hello... my friend wants to apply for his dependents, but he is in a shared accommodation, he has a room in a flat. He is asking if he can use his present address to apply for his dependants. Do the Uk gov ask for lease agreement ?because his lease agreement states that it’s a room in a shared accommodation. Will he need to upload his tenancy agreement, or he has to get a bigger place before his dependants can apply? He wants to get a bigger place when his dependants ( wife &son) is about to arrive but not right now.

Hi everyone please help me with my question. If I have always had the required proof of funds in my account without it dropping, can I just print the statement of account when I want to apply?
Do I need to count 28days or how does it work?
I have always had more than the required proof of funds in my account and has never for once go below the amount. For example, let’s say I need 12m to show as proof of funds and I have always had 20m in my account for two months without it dropping below the 12m, can I just print the statement at anytime I want to apply for the visa?

Hello.. pls i have a question to ask. I got my family visit visa this year from inputs from this forum and i am grateful. I have traveled for my vacation and we are back now. I shared my transcripts here too. The issue i want clarification is... My brother was refused us visit visa 3yrs ago but he used an agent then. Although all the information the agent filled for him then was correct , he just did not know to apply and fill the forms. He just tried reapplying now with my help and with all the info i have read from here, we have submitted the form but he cant schedule an appointment. The system is saying his profile corresponds with his previous application. The issue is that he cant remember the email password the agent used for his old application(profile) and he cant reach him either. Pls what can he do to be able to book an appointment. There is an option to write the embassy.. pls wont this cause an issue for him? Or what can he do?

Please i just need to ask a quick question. My cuz was just asked to pay 4m naira for part payment of school fees by the agengy helping him with the Australian student visa. Is it true he has to pay part payment before his visa will be granted. I tot its after the visa, you can then proceed to pay. Thanks

@seyewest Good Evening to you is it true that if someone applying for US visit visa do not have Travel Experience the person can't be granted Visa?

its not true. My hubby has zero travelling experience... infact he has not seen the inside of an aircraft before and he was granted the us visa this month.

Please house .. when i tracked our passport to know if its ready for pickup, my daughter's own and mine is ready but my husband's own is saying "there is no status update for this passport. Please what could be wrong, should i just go to the pickup location or what? I dont stay in lagos

I have been trying to post and I havent still gotten the hang of it yet. I am sorry if I am not supposed to quote someone. I and my family had our visa interview on friday and I just had to share our transcript. I learnt a lot from this forum.. I read from page 1 to the last page, it took me weeks mehn.
VO: hello good morning
Moring ma
VO :where are you going to?
I thought I heard "why are you going to the US" so I just replied... to attend a close friend's wedding. The vo had to ask why again, then I said Houston texas
VO: what do you do ma
I repied that i am a legal practitioner
VO: sir what do you do?
My hubby repied that he works in .....bleep bleep bank
VO: what excatly do you do for them?
Hubby said his duties as he filled it in his form
VO: how long have you been working?
I replied...... years
VO: sir how long have you been working
hubby replied.... years
VO: sir have you travelled before?
Hubby replied no... and said but my wife and daughter have been to dubai
Meanwhile my 3year old daughter have been trying to get her attention... she was just saying aunty aunty, the VO refused to answer her, she then sightly hit the glass to get her attention before the VO replied her and said Hi
All the while she was asking questions, she was just typing, she just looked up and gave us the white paper and told us to pick up our passports in 3days. The interview was less than a minute and I know its just God's grace. We filled the forms ourselves, all correct information, no lies. We will be spending 10days.
Hubby is super excited, he has aways said the first visa he will get will be the US visa lol. Its just my daughter and I that have travelled out of the country to dubai
No documents was checked, even thoughi have read here severelly that no documents will be asked. We took all our land and property documents lmao, bank statements and other irrelevant things.
we also didnt listen to the touts outside the embassy. It would have been a waste of time. We are super happy and please forgive my typos, feeling sleepy.
I cant wait to share our POE experience. God really favoured us.Thanks nairalanders. Looking for cheap airline tickets o, pls if you see for 27th of june biko holla.
