Perhaps a marriage certificate would suffice.

Perhaps a marriage certificate would suffice.

Please is land receipt and deed of assignment is enough for land property?

Nchabuomo:

Since she is not underage I. E under 18 no legal requirement to submit consent letter from husband. I also believe marriage certificate is okay

Yeah.

thanks gisellle for your kind and prompt response i do really appreciate time taken to really explain this. However
1. she is over 70 years
2. a widow
3. not working
4.does not have a pension
5 no landed property
6. no registered business name that we know of but she does supply buying and selling till her retirement from business
6. but savings up to 1.5millions which is in her account as her saving from retirement from business which will be printed from her bank .The money has been there for almost 2 years untouched


this is more like what she has above

this is her first time she will be applying since 1978 when she came back to Nigeria.

2. also how do we go about the application here.do we apply for her from here and upload all the documents for her here including booking her appointment for biometric so that she will just go and get her biometric done

Thank you will appreciate your kind response

Please everyone, when you are required to do a security clearance (SC) before u can apply for a visa what does that mean and what kind of visa would the person apply for. Any idea is welcome

I think it's best you apply and let her just go and do the biometrics. Given her age, she is posses minimal risk with regards to her becoming undocumented (my opinion). Just be clear in the application process and make it as simple as possible. For example, the person sponsoring her could also be the one sending her an invitation letter. As long as you are documented you can send her an invitation as you are the one sponsoring her otherwise let your wife be the financial sponsor.

U need to convince the visa officer that somethin will bring her back to Nigeria.. pls explore this and get a plan. She is already old, just sell a good picture
As for the documents u can do all the uploading online as they dnt take physical documents anymore.. she only needs to presnt to her biometrics with her passport, her checklist, biometrics appt confirmation and her submission slip if u do all the uploadig urself

you can attend the conference virtually/online

Security clearance is to check criminal records of individuals it’s normally applied for by their employers.

giselle237:

Unless the conference does not have an online facility which I doubt, make sure the conference is related to your business.
I suggest you book an hotel.

Yes the conference is related to my profession and i have given it a thought to book hotel but does the COE accept hotel reservation without pay ? Or I should pay for the hotel reservation?

giselle237:

Sorry I do not want to attend online

Fisherlala:


Are you the one working or your wife?

sorry Fishherlala missed your post, yes both myself and my wife are working.am on a spouse visa my wife is British citizen

sihamey:

Normally you are not supposed to pay for hotels but your reservation should be valid by the time the caseworker contact them but nowadays hotels do cancel reservations that is not paid for and they can do so without your knowledge.
Some hotels will require you to have adequate money in your card when booking they will hold the money they won’t take it out until you arrive the facility and you must go there with the card you used in bookings to make proper payment.
You can also search for book now pay at the property hotels they will normally hold your reservation for as long as you come and you don’t need to pay. Check for there terms and conditions because it’s different.

sihamey:

If they have online facility the caseworker might not understand why you have to be present there physically unless you write a letter explaining why you must be there in person.

Okay, I think you have been advised accordingly and fairly by others.

Ok so does it mean a visitor visa will be applied for or working visa

damkanlinsin:

work visa most times is synonymous with police clearance locally or DBS. It can not a requirement for visit visa

Please I need an answer to this questions, sometime March this year 2 of my customers made a deposit payment to one of my bank account which is not the one I'm using to running my business due to network problem and later I transferred the money back to bank account that I'm using for my business . The two bank account bearing the same name i.e my full names. I sell cars and building materials such as cement ,blocks, iron rod with good inflow and outflow . Please should I need to explain this in a cover letter when I'm applying or no need ?
