Wales1111: As long as your personal circumstances have not changed negatively and you do not make a convoluted application, you should be fine. Good luck |

Wales1111:1.You did not overstay your visa 2. Your circumstance changed as a result of the coronavirus which was beyond your control 3. You did not rely on public funds 4. Halted flight from Nigeria to UK and vice versa You are good to reapply for 2 years provided your circumstance in Nigeria has not change. The ECO knows all those things but you can explain in the cover letter and add the leave extension letter to support it. The ECO will even pity you for not enjoying your prvious holidays as planned. |

1) If it was during the covid lockdown period, it won’t be held against you as a lot of visitors stayed longer in the UK during that period. 2) If you weren’t affected by covid lockdown, staying 5 months means you either don’t have a job to go back to because which employer allows his employee stay out of work for 5 months on holiday, even maternity leave is 3 months and the legitimacy of your documents maybe questioned. Or it means you were working in the UK. 3) Even if you get the visa, be prepared to be put aside for scrutiny/questions at the POE when you get to the UK. 4) In your cover letter, it’s important you explain why you stayed 5 months.

Wales1111: Perfect, use all evidence that you have to back up your application. Don’t let anyone tell you that staying 5 months isn’t a red flag (Doesn’t matter if you didn’t over stay the 6 months). As suggested to you here by many, do your cover letter and state the reasons why you stated for 5 months rather than the 2 months that you planned to stay initially, and how you were able to take care of yourself financially etc. You should definitely be fine with whatever length you choose to apply for (6 or 24 months). But DEFINITELY back your application up with reasons for staying longer than you planned last time out. Good luck mate. |

Good afternoon All, Please how do I call UKVI? The instruction says "input your card details and press dial" I have tried adding the # and * key but it is not working. I also inserted only the details and waited but it keeps repeating "press dial". Please who can help? |

abdulkabeer: Congrats. More updates pls, it gives hope. It's becoming more real that standard visitor visa processing time is no longer 3weeks but 6weeks. |

To those who argue whether or not Embassies contact banks to verify account statements, here's proof that they do. I just received this debit sms with the narration clearly written. I've reached out to my bank for information on which embassy contacted them, coz I sent my statement to both UK and Canadian High Commission. I'm waiting for my bank's response.

Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 5 by tushqueen(f): 6:29pm On May 10, 2022 |
Asking on behalf of a friend, he is inviting his sister to the UK on a visitor's visa. He submitted the application only to realise that he all documents were submitted except his own birth certificate. It was a self service application, how can he add this document when he has the original copy with him in the UK. Please this is urgent |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 5 by tushqueen(f): 6:33pm On May 10, 2022 |
Can he get assisted service when the visitor gets to Ikeja for biometrics tomorrow by paying the fee. Then is printed coloured copies of documents acceptable? |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 5 by Ashirioluwa: 7:35pm On May 10, 2022 |
tushqueen: That shouldn’t be a problem on the outcome of the visa application. His birth certificate is not that important. The important documents are those she can use to convince whoever looks at her visa application that she’s not going to be a burden to UK government. Documents like - Family ties here in Nigeria - Her job - Evidence of available fund for the trip Most people that send invitation letter only send passport data page, payslips, bank statement, property lease agreement and utility bills. This is just my own opinion. |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 5 by Africankel(m): 8:21pm On May 10, 2022 |
nwaogukings03: Response received from bank:- Information cannot be disclosed as it is confidential. |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 5 by ydupsy(f): 8:35pm On May 10, 2022 |
Anyone knows if they still put rejection letter when you collect your passport? Or they send it via emails only |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 5 by HRprof: 9:01pm On May 10, 2022 |
Africankel: So they charge you 2k + to verify your statement of account. did you sign such agreement on your visa application If I get such alert I will quarry my bank |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 5 by Oggg: 9:07pm On May 10, 2022 |
tushqueen:yes it can be added by assisted service tmao.. about 12k.. payment is only done with debit or credit cards.. do add the birth certificate(s) .. clear copies of any docs are acceptd.. colour or black and white 1 Like |

Oggg:Even if I sign for permission did i sign With a cost That is extortion i must querry my bank. Is like this UK embassy is nonsensical every embassy confirm statemet of account but charging me for it is what i don't understand. |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 5 by Africankel(m): 9:24pm On May 10, 2022 |
HRprof: There was no such agreement. Querying the bank won't yield any results as I believe it might be their standard practice. Moreso, it's a small amount. |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 5 by Oggg: 9:25pm On May 10, 2022 |
