AmeliaT:
Sorry about this. The ECO actually wrote 8,000,000 but in the exchange to pounds, put 1400 GBP instead of 14k. I believe that's the key issue. You can write a complaint pointing out this error. As, if they had taken into account your yearly other income of #14k GBP, your monthly goes to over 2600 and so the 6k budget would only be X2.2 of your monthly income. I suggest you complain about that and also reattach your proof about every single one of the transfers. If that doesn't work,

1. Reapply and ensure there are no large deposits just your monthly fixed salary.
2. Reduce the budget from 6k so it doesn't put too much pressure on you.
3. Highlight every deposit into the account, number it and in your cover letter use bullet points to outline every deposit with the corresponding number, date and explain it and also add proof. Also include your company statement.

Have you travelled elsewhere before and was this a first time application to the UK? Sometimes, I feel like they nitpick based on a nudge they have which they can't really put a finger on so they just look out for whatever.

Thank you very much Ma Ameliia....I really appreciate your concerned yesterday.

I have sent an email to UKVI complaint department for wrongly denied my wife for a large fund deposit the ECO mentioned.


Now I was told to reapply immediately to counter the refusal letter on a ground by providing the statement of account where I transferred the money into my wife bank account.

I used my personal bank statement to transferred the money to her which I used the account for miscellaneous and domestic stuff at times, Although I have a salary account which showing a steading 550k monthly salary.

We will write a cover letter to address the reason Eco wrongly denied my wife and the kids, also to provide my salary account, personal account I used to transferred the money into her acct, my payslips, and my work ID card, previous bank statement indicating the salary and 1.5m sponsorship fund apart from that no any other funds.


Please is that a good ideas?

If you are in Lagos or ibadan, healthtracka.com will do test for you in the morning at home or your preferred location and send your results by evening. So you can book the test a day before your flight. My partner and I used them and there were no issues.

I've been waiting since Nov 17th. There are some people who have been waiting since October. If you want to know the exact status of your application, then you should send them a paid mail (https://ukvi.mysecurepay.co.uk/Home) or make a paid phone call to ukvi (+443007906268).

Shakiratemma:


Good day
Pls how does one go about calling ukvi number. Tried calling but it is not even ringing. Pls help

leef2022:


Great you have had a response,
But again, you seem so stressed with the bank statement thingy which you shouldn't, do as you have been advised by UKVI, and include other necessary documents like you have noted.
Your main worry now should be would your wife be on leave, and your kids on holidays? I am putting into consideration that, that might have been the case for the kids and wife during the festive seasons the initial travel and return date was planned. If that is a possibility, kindly re-apply at anytime your wife and kids still need a valid visa for their trip..
Best of success with their future applications.

Gentlesoul3268:
No we didn't got response yet only auto response, I mean the people that I showed the refusal too who know more better that advised if we can reply against easther.


Yes my wife can take a leave at work and the kids would be at holiday at that time.

Please leef we I'll need your contribution when Is time to reapply, waiting for passport collection

Thanks

Nchabuomo:


If you raised a formal complaint at least wait for it to be addressed.

headhoncho:
There is no harm in reapplying immediately since the denial was based on unfairness and an “error” on the part of the visa officer. Just make sure you do not give them any benefit of the doubt this time, because there might be extra scrutiny on the application, since you are opposing your initial denial, and also make sure you address the error and any other necessary issue on this decision which prompted your immediate reapplication. All the best!

Gudevening house, trust we are all fine. Pls help , I got a uk refusal letter since on Monday and up till now my passport is still with them and they haven't told me anything about it. Pls can anyone envisage what's going on?

leef2022:


My advise thou, if there is no urgency for a visit atm, intended travelers may wish to hang in there a bit, with current review about testing and all going on by the UK government, I expect testing to be scrapped at least for fully vaccinated travelers and maybe a choice thingy for unvaccinated.

luiginho2xl:
it takes a bit of time for the TLS to return passports after decision have been made. sometimes even up to a week or more.

Good evening everyone,
My friend and I both applied for a standard visitors visa in October. We did our biometrics on October 25, 2021 at TLS Ikeja. After three months of waiting for decision precisely January 10, my friend got his, which was a refusal. Til date, I have not received any refusal or collection mail while my friend is already collecting his passport on Monday when we did our biometrics same day. I'm curious now!
What could be the problem?
What can I do?
Advise me please, NLders.

Good evening everyone. Please can a tourist rent an apartment in the uk? Or just allowed to stay in hotels or hostels? For the case of us that doesn’t have any relative/friend in the uk

mamawa123:


No, short stay visa of 3 months or less is fine. All you need is valid visa of any of those countries

Has Germany started issuing visas to first timers?
