I’m posting this for my uncle who plans on traveling to UK next month

He has a personal savings bank account with about 150M balance

He is a business man and doesn’t receive salary, his money comes into the account everyday

Can he use the account to apply for a UK visa ? Or he has to start paying himself salary for 6 months ? Please respond

giselle237:
family application does not mean it will be treated by same ECO. Most times it isn’t that’s why differing dates on collection/decision. That’s why everyone pays their fees and fills out a form each. No joint forms. Take this into consideration.

I don’t think so. I think they’re treated by the same Eco except they went for biometrics on different days. I used to think they’re being treated by different eco’s but I have first hand experiences of 3 cases. I applied with my family (5 of us). I’m the principal applicant. We did biometrics together & our checklist and passport copies were binded together. After few weeks, I started sending paid emails. The day I got decision has been made for one person was the day I got decision made for everyone. Unfortunately I got collection mail for 3 & the 2 others are yet to get theirs. What might have happened? My take here would be from dhl and vac. These passports are returned individually & there are specific days VAC’s mail out collection letters to avoid overcrowding or due to shortage of staffs. Passports are returned individually but does not necessarily mean, applications are treated the same (there is a chance though) but from my experience, my brothers & another family that I know of… I think it’s usually treated by the same Eco

Let him get at least 6 months bank statement..... that will be too long a time for the Decision making officials to assume a fishy deposit

Brother as long as he’s business registration documents and landed property documents please go ahead and apply for him they treat people of that caliber differently. And as long as such or similar balance is in his SOA throughout the six months period

Any visa alert for 3rd June.

Mine is 4months plus already and I got a reply that decision has been made from the last paid mail since 30th May and till now I haven't been contacted. A month plus since decision has been made o

DFmum:
They havent requested for passport yet, they replied and apologised for delay and reassured that they are working on the application for reconsideration but no timeframe. Today made it 5months of successful administrative review, it took them ages to transfer file back for decision.

Awolat:

Visit visa does NOT need TB tests

Thank you

If you did your biometrics earlier than May 19 and you are yet to get any response, then congratulations because your VISA is approved. Otherwise you would have gotten a mail stating why your visa has been refused.

until you get your passport back with visa in it, nothing is sure. goodluck for now.

Hello House, please I have a question.

I have good travel history, I schooled in Asia and Europe and I've been to the UK twice before on a 6-month visa.

The last time I visited the UK was in 2012 and I just reapplied for a UK visa from Nigeria because I now work and live here. However, I applied for a 6-month visa and I'm thinking if I should have just applied for a 2-year visa instead. Would this have reduced my chance of getting it again? Or should I just wait and visit the UK again that's if I get this 6 months visa and then reapply for a 2-year visa once it expires?

brosss… u’ve good chances of getting it as long as u didnt flout or violate the terms of ur last visas… also yess u cud have gone for 2 yrs but no p.. nothin spoil… Can alwaiz plan for that against ur next application.

I had a son who is British citizen for a British partner but the father is not responsible for him. He only got him a British passport. I left the uk when he was 6months back to Nigeria. I applied to go to uk a year after but was refused a uk visa on d ground that I did not pay NHS bill when I had my baby. I contacted NHS and they set up a payment plan for me and I have not defaulted in payment. I pay every month. I applied for a uk visa this year and was still refused and my son is 8 years he wishes to return back to uk. Does it mean that my chances of ever goin to d uk is over what can I do. I even got NHS to write me a letter to the embassy still they refused me . Am thinking of reapplying

What type of visa did u apply for and are u planning to stay from then on to the Uk?..... there is more questions that need to be asked from you to get the full picture..... I was confused for minute. I suggest you go on another route that is surer since ur baby is a British citizen, she can travel with u without much ado. Hope the little man is OK as it’s been a long time since he left UK to face Naija conundrum. I want to believe you are doing well financially to take care of him

You are not clear .
You wish to go back.
Your son wishes to go back.
They have no obligation to grant you a visa if they feel you are a potential overstayer. For your son, he is free to go to his country as he is a citizen. Anyday he turns up at the border he must enter.
For now you can start by clearing your NHS debt in full and work on your ties to Nigeria to show you will come back.
You are obviously applying on visitor visa and they know immediately they let u in, as long as u have no strong ties to Nigeria you will not return. You will hang onto your son’s citizenship rights and not return.
It will help if you have a well paying job, finances, property, investments, assets, family and other things that would make sure you come back
If you finally enter then explore the private life route

If you want to apply from outside UK also possible. However speak well with a solicitor to explore your best options pls. I am not an immigration advisor

Also you may want to start by contacting the Home Office and requesting a SAR, to see exactly what it says on your record. Once you have that you can decide what to do and find out who to contact about your debt. Also what was stated on your refusal?

You should look towards a different visa route. I believe you may be qualified for a type of settlement visa as the primary carer to a dependant citizen (since your child is still underage). Up to you to research on it from here on…

Please, is there a way to it & if possible kindly give a hint, I mean for the transit visa. So, basically too, I don’t need any tests or medical verification before traveling?? Sorry for the too much questions
