DMainMan:
Firstly, Use the name on your passport. Then do a change of name affidavit that you have changed your previous name to the new name. The name of your passport must be the same as the name in your visa application.
1. Your boyfriend should write a letter of invitation stating where he is working, address and most importantly that he would sponsor you for all expenses, accommodation, flight ticket, feeding and living expenses. He should state the amount he will provide. He should also write about your relationship and how he met you. He should include documents that he will use to support your application i.e bank statement, work payslips, proof of address e.g council tax, utility bills, sponsorship form e.t.c . He should fill out the first page of the below sponsorship form:

Your boyfriend should provide minimum of four months bank statement with considerable amount of money. He should show genuine documents and proof of his income. Ascertain if your boyfriend claims or documents are genuine. If it isn't, then you wont be given visa
2. You should write a cover letter. Introduce yourself, where you work and your purpose of visit; i.e to visit your boyfreind as you miss him. State your plans of visit and places you intend to go. Exclusively state that your boyfreind will sponsor you with (the amount your boyfreind declared to sponsor you). Then state how you will spend this money. e.g cost of return flight 500 pounds from Lagos to London Heathrow and vice versa, cost of travel, visit, sight viewing and miscellaneous e.t.c . The amount calculated should be equal to what your boyfreind said he will give you. State that you will include your passport, affidavit, employment letter, CAC, Educational certificates, property documents (if you have) or other stuffs you have. You must show proof, so dont put what you cannot proof.
3. You should also provide your minimum of three month bank statements if you receive money from your employer or you transact business and your bank statement reflects all these. This will greatly help your application. However, if your bank statements does not reflect or proof your employment or work financial transactions as stated in your application,(e.g monthly salary money, wages payment e.t.c) then it is better not to include your bank statement as it shows one is lying and one visa will be rejected. Hence, since your sponsor has stated he will sponsor you, only use your sponsor bank statement as it has worked for many people.
4. You should give a relationship letter to show if you and your sponsor are really in a relationship. Proof that he is your boyfreind. Things like photos of both of you, bank transactions showing he gave you money or you gave him money, hotel reservations for both of you, whatsapp communication message, facebook messages and many more
5. Write explicitly that you will come back to Nigeria after your visit and proof it to them. Valid proof should be your Verification letter from employer stating that you will come back to work after permission of holiday is granted. Other proof is that you own a valuable land property. You can also state that you have children in Nigeria that it is impossible you leave them. Proof that by showing your picture with children and birth certificate.
Do the above and do not lie and claim what you are not. If you and your boyfreind dont have proof of any documents, your boyfreind and you should not declare it in the application. You must have proof of what you claim. Follow the above routine and visitor visa is certainly yours. Thank you DMainman�� 1 Like |
