Good morning all. I am new to this thread and I need help

I have a 2 days conference to attend in the UK 9-10Nov.

I earn 120k monthly.
I have not attended any transport conference either in Nigeria or outside but I have attended some trainings

Thanks for your swift response

By the time your monthly expenses are subtracted, this salary is too low for a trip that could take up to 600k.. to go and attend a conference.. and even after the 600k there should be enough left in your bank account so that you have something for yourself on return. The visa officer will be wondering why you want to spend at least 6 to 7 times your income for a 2 day conference and all the way in the UK. I personally do not think this salary can work or for this reason.. what about other conferences in your home place or around Nigeria given the cost of this to you? your intention and how genuine this trip will be doubted… but it’s not for me to decide. goodluck

Hello House,

I sent a paid mail yesterday evening and got a response this morning that a decision has been made on my application as shown below. Biometrics was done on the 6th of May.

Does anyone have an idea of how long it will take TLS to reach out to me for collection as I need to use the passport for an exam next weekend.

Thanks

Good day people, please I would like to ask a question. I’m yet to apply for uk family visa. My mom stays in the uk but she has started the process but they are asking us for a DNA test.So my question is what are the chances of them accepting my documents and what documents am to gather. Please help me

Tayo4567:
Please after appeal,how many months does it takes for them to decide?

hello, is it still in Court or a favourable decision has been passed?

The useless UKVS for flimsy reason refused my application. Despite earning Abt N14m per annum.

Provided all documents, employment records and bank statement.

The confirm all documents submitted and got a positive response yet the baggar said he/she is not convinced that i will return as some of the deposit in my account statements are inconsistent.

Account statement that i use for Salary alone.

Wow! This is serious oh. Sorry for the refusal. I know how exactly you feel. How can they refuse someone with 14m annual salary. It's well. I really don't blame them sha. It's our leaders I blame.
I got a refusal first attempt in 2012, then an approval second attempt in 2014.
I'm applying third time next week. Ikeja TLs. Booked an hotel in Ikeja as I live in Edo state.
Has anyone who applied in Ikeja used Uber or Bolt to the venue? I never used any of those in my state and wondering if I should download the app or just flag down any random taxi outside the hotel. So many stories of insecurity in Lagos. What means of transportation does anybody recommend?.
Thanks.

Wow! Sorry about this. Is this your first time applying? Do you have good travel history for vacations?

Is dependant Passport number needed to be filled in when the main applicant is applying for his tier 4 UK Visa online? Note: The dependant Passport isn't ready yet

Another first week of May. Please, is yours Visiting visa? Is this also renewal? You’ll most likely get your passport next week.

Thanks bro. This is the second time they will be refusing me, first in 2011.

I suggest you use Uber or taxify, they are safe and secured.

All the best bro.

You probably need to have a look at monies that was been deposited in that account, address that issue before reapplying. Since you already make adequate money you just need to make sure unnecessary deposit isn’t in that account, and if there are then just clarify where the money is from etc.

There are loads of tutorials in the thread to help when it comes to running your bank account for Visiting visa application. Good luck next time..

Sorry for the refusal , Try and go through your bank acct statements if there’s any deposit that different to your monthly salary and the monthly expenses you claimed you are spending per month? I’m 90% sure this people will see something fishy in your bank statements before they complained

Shalom

The only payment into the salary account was the fees paid for a consulting job am doing.

I sent my CAC documents registering the company since 2016.

Transaction details with documents from the company was sent as evidence.

Above is aside my paid employment with evidence oh

Confirmation was done by them and they got a positive response.

Honestly, am pretty sure they goofed in refusing me the visa

I wnt bother re applying. Case close for UK

Hi guys, is there anyone whose passport was seized and sent to immigration and was able t get it back? If yes, can you please share your experience?

Thanks Shalom, i appreciate.

Trust me my account statements was very straightforward.

The only transaction into the account are my monthly salary, quarterly allowance, mid year allowance and yearly upfront which was clearly stated in the statement and my payslip and offer letter.

The only transaction apart from the above is the consulting fees paid by a client. I also attached my CAC documents which registered the company since 2016. Contract letter from my clients with details of amount paid.

Am 95% sure those people are confused, they are human and prone to error.

If UK refuse me tourist visa, i have other lovely countries to go jare.

SA, Egypt, Turkey, Morocco or Mexico is nit a bad idea after all na my money are wan go spend.

I can feel your concern my brother but to say that their clearance office are prone to errors is an understatement I believe that some of them are not competent enough to handle visa case or might want to refuse visa application for the sake of protecting their jobs

That deposits reason might not be the actual reason. Do you think you have other home ties besides your self employed job? Then again.. what’s the nature of your job? Are you married? Have you been to countries like US, Canada, anywhere in the Schengen area, Oceanic region, UAE? Being self employed I’m sure will carry less point than when you are an employee, especially for a renowned company. Also there’s an age factor thing that can be an hindrance. Less than 40 years, being self employed, not married, with little or no proper travel history might be refused at this peak period. One thing we need to know is.. they cannot give everyone visa. I don’t think this is the best time to apply for a UK visa. The UK visa is the most sort after these days. Truthfully evaluate your application & you can try next time. UAE is a good country for vacation and good portfolio for travel history

Still in court.

Sorry for the refusal.
Self employed is what you presented?? If yes .. but still you say you are earning monthly salary, quarterly allowance, mid year allowance and yearly upfront… within a 6 month period..
Also is there any signed document backed by your company for all these deposits??

or did you present both self employed and salaried employee?
I am confused because you mention CAC then mention paid employment..
