Thanks for your reply..I actually don't know the name of the agency..it was done based on trust he have on my cousin which is the reason why he made the agent to return the 500,000 so he wouldn't disappoint the family..I'm just being calm because of my cousin but if by Monday I don't get it then I would have to get it from UKVI..

Perhaps you being too lenient what does let him see if he can find it mean?.Give him a polite ultimatum that he should give it to you else...
The uk has made mistakes in the past where they have refused visa and issued empty refusal reasons with just the sections but this was an administrative error but never in my 5yrs + have i seen it just refused.
You get an email and/or a letter stating the reason your right to an administrative review or immigration decision appeal.
Perhaps make a freedom of information request quoting your name, passport number,date of application and reference number if you know it.
Also try this link below something may come of it.
https://ukvi.mysecurepay.co.uk/Home
the service is £2.74 so you would need a debit card.They reply within 2 working days.
(Can you tell us the name of the agency please and i can verify/report it).
Best of luck and be more careful in the future.

Okay.In the meantime i advice you don’t attempt making any new application regardless of the country for now.Everything will get sorted out eventually.

Hi.What is the purpose of this travel,for how long,does dad still work and how old is your dad?.
One year bank statement is a lot of paperwork.The last six months should suffice but giving them a year is no sin.
Apart from house rent receipt you need to include the house contract itself.

Good Morning Everyone,

I was told my passport is ready at the Immigration office but not yet collected because I am far to the location.

Back Story

I applied for my passport in Dec 2020 because of change of name( I am married), my former passport is still valid and has over 2 years on it.

I have used my former passport to apply for admission and CAS, please can I go ahead and use it for Visa?
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 4 by Sanmigbola: 6:41am On May 23, 2021
Pls guys, my dad want to sponsor me for my UK trip, though he's my boss (MD/CEO) in the company while I am one of the directors.

Though i will be attaching my 6 months salary account with sufficient balance and other necessary document from my end.
Do I still need to submit any document from him apart from the letter of sponsorship, since he will transfer the money for sponsorship to my account ?
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 4 by sandra50(f): 6:54am On May 23, 2021

u can add ur birth certificate to show/solidy relationship ties and a letter from your dad stating his happiness to sponsor this holiday, where u are going, when u are going, how much he is giving, what the money is intended for, if he has transferred to ur acct as well, the letter should say so, then end with once again stating his happiness to sponsor the trip just because you are such a wonderful son with reasons such as such..

Ask your contact to ship it through Nigerian shipper. It will cost him less than $40 ($4 per pound). Because I don’t think anyone in his right mind will accept a package from a total stranger (or even friends) considering the crime rate now in Nigeria and around the world. I watched videos where drug was hidden inside yams / brand new computer.

Morning Guys. Has anyone here got a call from the embassy before with respect to his/her application? Appears they wanted to know why the applicant wanted to travel in the midst of a pandemic with a need to quarantine for 10 days....

Hello, please do you know anyone that received a call? I
will like to follow up on the outcome. I was planning to apply as well but I have been wondering if it’s a good time to apply for a vacation and what the consular officer would think.
I would like to know the outcome of this so that I can make that decision.

Hi

I was the one that was reached out to. Not sure what the final outcome is but the VO mentioned he would make a final decision once he drops the call. I also enquired when I would get my passport and h mentioned this week. So fingers crossed.

However, I would advise if you can hold on applying you should cos he was really concerned why I would want to travel in th midst of a pandemic and I had to explain several times. I was lucky to b called perhaps and he didn’t conclude in his mind I might have ulterior motives.

Please what are the things to take to biometric appointment? Is it true that I need to make coloured photocopies of checklist documents?

Also, what do I do in a situation where I forgot to upload my TB certificate? Please note that I chose self service.
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 4 by Fisherlala: 2:39pm On May 23, 2021
humblemoi:


Good to hear that you actually attended the biometric appointment. The best time to have viewed the information submitted was at the biometrics centre where you waited before you had your biometrics captured. Well, that's gone now.

Here's my advice, be very patient about the next steps and don't rush into anything. Don't put in a new application that could possibly or not hinder future economic benefits to without understanding previous refusal reason.

Under the GDPR guidelines to which the UK follows strictly, you have a right to request the information the Home Office holds about you known as Subject Access Request.

Read this link slowly: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/requests-for-personal-data-uk-visas-and-immigration/request-personal-information-held-by-uk-visas-and-immigration

and follow the instructions set in the link. May take a while (avg. 30 - 40 days) to receive the documented information, after all you are not planning to put in a new application next month. "A particular decision letter" is the most important document you need.

Wish you the best.


Spot on !!!

Yes because you are still the same person.
I assume when you did your newspaper change of name you included the phase “all former documents remain valid,public and so so so to take note.”
I answer a double barrelled surname only because i did not wish to drop mine after marriage.My post study was in my maiden name and when i put in for ILR i used my double barrelled surname all i had to do was make copies of my marriage certificate/court affidavits and newspaper change of name in case of any issues.

[I will advise u not to apply for visa with ur old passport. The immigration officer is likely to perforate ur old passport becos u can't have two valid nigieria passport at once]

U cannot have two International passports running at the same time. I think u should go pick up the new one as you say it has been issued definitely it has ‘issued date’ which has started reading.... which can also be seen by all and sundry.
Pls go pick up your passport. By right the other one will be cancelled without prejudice just to avoid this same thing... both can not be active at same time ma

Please does anyone know the address of the Passport express centre in Maitama, Abuja?

If i understood properly she has not received the new one just yet so with a visa on that one the other would be stamped cancelled without prejudice just like mine was.

With my little experience I had on this forum sir, why can't you sponsor your self since you have a sufficient 6 months salary account? I think you have gotten 6 month Uk Visa before which you sponsor yourself ? So why do you want to use your dad as sponsor now?

Cost for my travelling expenses is high( its more than 2 months of my DI) considering the cost of plane ticket during the summer period, thats why I want to get part sponsorship from my dad.

Good evening NLs,

Please i have an enquiry.

My wife wants to go for MSc Nursing, but has a background in Social Science. I understand its acceptable. However my question are:

1. Will she be eligible to apply for dependants when applying for her visa ( the program starts at level 6)
2. Does anyone have any recommendations as per good yet affordable schools we can apply to?

Many thanks

This your information is not true. I believe your wife needs a bs nursing or maybe health science related degree before going for ms nursing degree.

I know some schools in US have Direct MSN program for selected high schools students but this is a 6-year program.
