Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 5 by pancaro(m): 7:38am On Dec 02, 2022
Its a simple thing. The moment you book from the site of the airline, still go back and input your reference number. Then if nothing pops up you can go and make trouble at their office rather than getting embarassed at the airport

Please does anyone know the turn around time for super priority visit visa? The one that should ideally be out in 5 days. I want to get an idea of how long it takes at the moment.

Please what’s the best way to pay the visa fees from Nigeria? Which bank cards do they accept?

Thank you

My Sister intends going on vacation with her three children to the UK. She is a full time house wife and doesnt have much inflow and out flows in her account. Her husband is going to sponsor the trip. He is a business Man but he doesnt have a registered business name or account . All is business transactions are done on his personal account. He has enough cash flow to cover the trip.
what documents do they need to provide? Hope the Husband not having a registered company be an issue with POF in the account as sponsor?

He doesn't need to send the money to you. This has caused issues for people in the past. He should provide his statement of account for at least 6 months.

Most banks you should be able to pay, but it would have to be a dollar/pounds account. Funding the accounts is where you get irritated i should warn.

I'm not sure tourist or standard visa holder are allowed to marry or enter any civil partnership with that category of visa.

On the other hand if proof of relationship can be established and his partner meets the annual income trenchhold, she could actually file an application for him under the civil route

What you need to do
Check if what you plan to do in the UK is allowed as a Standard Visitor.

Check you meet the eligibility requirements.

Check if you need to apply for a visa to visit the UK.

Apply for a Standard Visitor visa online - if you need one.

My question now why do you need a grey area when you can have a green area as well....?
The marriage or civil partnership would continually be under checks and you would be at the mercies of this person to some degree...
Grey areas could be interpreted differently by different persons or judge.
You are not even certain of the bypassing, immigration policies are constantly changing; making such bypass hard by the day.

You are actually right with this, but posting this online is like exposing ourselves. This is the type of information we posted online in the past that messed up our opportunities to seek asylum in Canada and Ireland. We always like to expose ourselves.
 
Now, anywhere we go, no one believes our stories, even when we are telling the truth.

Same way people arrive by boats, sea and others. Every system has its fault. The less you encourage people about it or warn about the difficulties it involves the lesser it would be an option.

Your earlier post lacked any of the above, rather made it seem was the better option, which it is actually not.

Yeah, "one specific person" on a public forum read by many.

BTW, if in trying to jump, and the system catches up to you, would you not find love again or would your fear of what possibly could happen to your love life not happen?

In interpretation of your "grey area". Yes you advised the op to get the lady visit for a marriage yet your follow up advise and trying to defend it, annulls your first advise, which means you're directly and indirectly encouraging him and others.
