Hello everyone, I don't know if this information is needed but i just want to share my most recent experience in applying for uk visiting visa with you guys. I've been visiting nairaland for a very long time now and the experiences i read on this site has helped me during various application processes, so its only fair i give back. Hope this helps. I started my UK 5 years general visa application online early August but never completed it because i had pressing issues i needed sorting out. Finally completed it on the 23rd of august. Here's my situation. I got married last year July, never changed my maiden name and relocated to abuja for work as a civil servant 7years ago. When applying for my new visa which expired in July 2018, i stated the following: Married - Submitted marriage cert issued from church; Funds - Submitted a single 30 days FD cert. of 2.5M Naira (forgot the accompanying acct. statement showing movements of the funds for a six month period) and a forex acct statement with balance of $1,500; Job - Submitted a copy of my work ID card, 3 years payslips, 4 from each year (i know say i overdo am but i had them already so just decided to include them), offer of employment letter, confirmation letter, promotion letter, and every other thing from my office i could lay my hands on and my salary bank statement. Sponsorship - Not sponsored. In all my previous visa applications i have always been sponsored by family, was tempted to say i will be sponsored by my husband naw (as he has a better acc. bal. + better job) but strong head nor let me; Ties to Nigeria (property/land) - I had none, submitted none. No point lying. Spousal ties: Submitted his bank statement, employment and promotion letters, ID card photocopy, NO property docs. Proof of Accommodation - Wrote it in my application that i would be staying with family and included the address. I honestly forgot to submit the proof (residents bill payment) when submitting my documents as i forgot it in the car. Address - Submitted my water bill which was not even in my name but that's all i had to show my address in naija. Invitation - Was provided this by family but also forgot it outside the premises. Flight booking - Forgot it outside the premises. Also submitted my education degrees certs. as they were obtained in the UK and i hoped this would favour me positively as this was my first application self-sponsored. All in all, on the day of biometrics, i got there too early. When waiting in my car (as them no let peson enter early) i forgot a lot of documents there. When they were finally scanning my documents for submission, i begged for 2 secs to go outside for a quick retrieval but they refused. I had to proceed with what i came in with. I became very downcast afterwards because i honestly thought i would be rejected. Hubby did not help matters as he wanted me to apply for 2 years instead of 5 (funds issue which btw i paid myself) and was just insinuating that my application would be rejected and i would have to wait 6 months before i can reapply. I kept hope alive by prayers men. I emailed the UKVA three days later from their website after payment of about £5 to £10 (can't remember the exact price) telling them all that happened and that i would like to resubmit the forgotten documents. Their reply was positive and that they would get back to me if the documents i mentioned were needed for my application. Two weeks after the biometrics i received a text that my PP was ready for collection. I got the visa Glory to the Almighty alone. I would like to also note that i have a long travel history with the UK (Previous 2 years WP and 5 years GVV) and the US as well. My advise for people going through this is to submit as much docs as possible that can affirm your ties with naija and funds that would last well beyond your intended trip. You don't need to be a big earner, just a strict saver. God's speed and love to you all. 7 Likes |
