Urgent!!!!!! @justwise and other gurus on this platform , I need your ideas on how to go about my UK visa application. My salary is #670k after tax . The balance on my salary account is #2.1m, my husband deposited 700k cash into my account and he tagged it " Family Travel Allowance" totalling #2.8m. in addition, I have #2m fixed deposit ( certificate of investment) with FCMB on my name which will be liquidated by May this year. The two million deposit is the income from rent which is paid yearly by cash from tenants and it's available to me for my UK trip. I'm applying with 2 kids on a tourist visa. I spend an Average of 250k -300k monthly from my account . The total balance of fund available is #4.8 million Here are the list of documents
1. Employment letter
2. Leave letter
3. Introduction letter
4. Marriage certificate
5.building plan/property - on myself & husband's name
6. 2 Car documents - one on my name, other on my husband's name
7. Hotel reservations for two weeks
8. London pass
9. Children birth certificates , my birth certificate
10. 6 months Payslip
11. Rent receipts/ lease agreements , survey/plan from other building inherited from my Dad.
12. Six months bank statement with 2.8million balance in total
13. #2 million- Certificate of investment - The source is from yearly rental income
14. Letter from children school indicating , they will be on holiday
15. Consent letter from my husband
16. Family pictures
My questions- (1) is there any other thing I need to add?
(2)Is the certificate of investment OK as an addition to my available fund for the trip , is there any further suggestion on it?
(3) is the cash deposit of 700k into my account by my husband which he tagged "family travel allowance" calls for other back up documentation. Note that , my husband explained in his consent letter that he made a provision of 700k cash deposit for our hotel allowance.
I will appreciate your prompt response , I wish to hear from the house before I proceed to submit .
Thank you .

Greetings everyone.

I live in France. My husband is French and we have two children.
My mum just got a France visa to visit me. It's a multiple entry that's valid up till 2024 that is 2 years.
I would like her to visit the UK while she's here with us in Paris.
I will apply for a UK visa since I don't have a French passport. I have had 3 UK visas in the past.

My question please:
1. Can she also apply for a UK visa from Paris or does it have to be from Nigeria ? I'll be the sponsor.
2. How much should I have in my bank account balance?
3. Does she have to indicate that she has family in the UK even though our visit is purely for tourism in LONDON ? (My younger sister and family live in another city. They relocated to UK last year as medical staff).
4. If she has to apply from Nigeria, how long does it take to get her passport back ? So that we can plan around that before getting her ticket.

Thank you for your kind advice.

Yes she can but she needs to state clearly on her application why she didn’t applied from her country of residence.

Congrats to everyone ...pls leave a word of advice for me ... I have a land doc that doesn't carry my name I intend to use this property as a home tie, can I draft a "Deed of gift" letter notarise it. in my name and attach to it?
Can it be accepted by the ECO ...what are my options

Theacefarm:

This is our first visa to the uk but not the first application though.
the first application was denied in february with reasons that they wanted to see the source of my husbands income,

so in this second application we uploaded his company statement of account in order to attribute his income to a source.
its a 6months visa

Good morning.

Please can someone help with the link to send a paid email to UKVI. Thanks

Hello,

My opinion, land documents is not a strong home tie because this can easily be sold, Family and Businesses/Jobs are stronger ties.
Besides what is your relationship with the owner of the land? Presenting a deed of gift shortly before applying for a UK visit visa seems all too sudden.

Talk about your situation abit more, are you working or have a business? Is you finances clear and can you sponsor your trip?

No-one can tell you what the ECO will accept or not.

My opinion again,others will advise

Cheers

giselle237:
check the spam and inbox used for the application. If no refusal letter yet then keep hope alive. Wait for the passport and check

They don’t sent refusal letter or visa letter via email.

You only know fate after you’ve received your passport.

Hello,

This seems to have changed again, until recently refusal letters were sent via email.

Interesting.

Cheers

Ray7878:


So this happened to my misses, DHL were the ones who didn’t deliver her certificate or contact her. They had it on their table, she missed her biometric date because of it. She literally walked into their office in Lagos, they then contacted the Abeokuta branch (She lives on Ije ode) and they then apologised and brought it to her house in Ode.

Try and contact DHL, I swear they have it sitting on their office table somewhere. They would give you a tracking number after you contact them or they would directly track it for you.

Logistics in Nigeria is a pain for the citizens.

Please, I wrote the computer delivered ukvi ielts on the 31st of Marchil 2022, result was out since 2nd April. I think I'm having this same issue, been trying to get the hardcopy since to no avail. Please, when I contact DHL, what should I tell them?

Just called DHL, apparently, British Council has created a shipment, but not sent it to DHL, I don't know why the unnecessary delays o. Please, does British Council office open today?

Biometrics done since March 9,,, paid mail sent April 2…. Response is application is been considered and currently under decision making,,,,
Why is it taking long and reason for travel is to spend Easter holiday in the UK. Pls advice wisely as Easter is almost a week from now

Hello house , I am new to Naira land . Please , I need your help on what needs to be done on my sister's UK visitor's visa application with two kids before she submit. We have all documents in place but few confusion on certain decisions. 1. Certificate of investment of #2m .......2. I want to deposit up 600k into her salary account , just to boost the salary account up to #2.6m but the issue is , I usually don't operate my account, it doesn't look good at all and for this reason I may not be able to print my statement to back the 600k as a sponsor . Please , what do you suggest about the 600k ? Should I pay it into her account or any other suggestions the 600k could add up ? Secondly , can we say the #2m investment is derived from rent as additional income that's available for her trip ?will they consider that as available fund for the trip ? I will appreciate your prompt response on this . Thanks

Their processing time is inconsistent. Some take shorter times while some take very long. I did my own biometrics since January. Was supposed to travel in Feb. But up till now I haven't gotten my passport. I have sent 3 paid mails and they confirmed a decision has long been made. But they are still holding my passport and my status when tracked still shows dmc

Yes I have been to the UK before.

so how does your sister make a living? Why is she dependent on 2m investment fund and you bringing 600k to be able to go on a holiday? these are the questions u should answer

Ray7878:

I don't live in lagos so I can't fly down when I have no confirmation that my passport is with them. I tried looking for tls phone number online but didn't find it. So I sent a mail to tls and they replied 4 days later that they will contact me when they receive my passport. That processing time now takes longer than it is stated on the uk visa portal.

I feel for you. And I pray they contact you. It’s just difficult to believe these TLS people. But God is with you.
