Tboy243: Is it a regular bank or one of those unreliable micro finance companies, because they claimed that they found it difficult to contact the bank “To confirm your bank statement, they are unable to get through to your bank”. You can try your luck through administrative review. |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 5 by Tboy243: 6:00pm On Feb 10, 2023 |
It's a well known Investment financial institution, not actually a regular bank and not a microfinance bank either. A lot of friends and relations that I know have enjoyed their services successfully. I would prefer not to mention the name of the company for privacy reasons. Ashirioluwa: |

It wasn't a microfinance bank I used. It's really not clear to me as they claim UKVI didn't send theme any mail. Could UKVI have lied?... Why did they wait till this period 64 days after Biometrics, before sending a refusal knowing fully well that Monday is the deadline stated on CAS. I don't know if someone understands my argument. It's puzzling. giselle237: |

Thank you very much for your response. Do you mean I should opt for administrative review or what?... It's not a microfinance bank it's an investment Institution. SarahKrm2: |

Tboy243:If you can continue receiving lectures pending the time you get your visa sorted through AR with the school knowledge, fine. Or beta still, lobby for extension or request new CAS for the next entry period. Better still, request for the bank and the school to contact the UKVI on your behalf just like this link below. It took less than a week. https://www.nairaland.com/6954875/uk-student-visa-tier-4/951#114980594 |

Tboy243:the time wasted was used by them to exhaust all possible means to reach this institution.. please next time make use of the mainstream banks.. hardly will you hear they are unreachable Ukvi mentions on gov.uk that they must be able to reach your financial institution, if they can’t then do not use such an investment or whatever place. All this could have been avoided. Pick urself up and make ur next move. Pele. |

Thank you. We surely move! But I don't think there was anything wrong with my decision of financial institution also, this can happen to anyone I read on the Student's Visa thread when someone complained of this same issue last year using Ecobank. I have moved on actually, It's just normal for me to be sure of what exactly went wrong. giselle237: |

Tboy243:been unable to reach the institution is grounds for possible refusal.. this is what happened in your case… onto the next..

Thank you very much for your contribution. Unfortunately, the school doesn't operate online classes which makes it very tight. I have gone through the link and will try to follow some suggestions therein. Thanks again for your concern. dirolad: |

Good morning gurus, I need your help please. My mum has been refused twice for tourism, first reason was because the money she mentioned she would be spending during visit was about 80 percent of her annual salary. A silly mistake and a misunderstanding . Then we applied the second time again increasing the annual salary and reducing amount to be spend for trip of course she was refused again. I would be attaching both refusals below. Now she’d like to apply for the third time and I’ll be adding an itinerary, spreadsheet explaining her annual income and receipts as well and also another cover letter. What else can we add as I don’t want to miss anything this time.

Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 5 by Mrmoney90: 10:31am On Feb 11, 2023 |
Ayomidelabaeka5: Omo, make Una no Dey complicate things for Una selves. First she apply as employed with an annual earning of 5 million. Barely few months later, she applied as self-employed with annual earning of 15 million. Make Una try stay one place. Reapplying again will be tantamount to refusal. You guys need to chill for sometime before thinking of reapplying again. How much was she paying herself monthly from her business? A business earning and making profit should be able to remit salary. I believe that part was missing. Again no proper research done about the place you plan to visit, which is not a major tourist location for a first time traveler. Owing to the fact that she has never embarked on any foreign travels before. Lastly funds in her account that did not connect to what she stated in her application. Probably since she stated employed and self employed, nothing to show that situation is as she stated 1 Like |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 5 by giselle237: 10:31am On Feb 11, 2023 |
Ayomidelabaeka5:what’s the reason for travel? Who will sponsor? What does she actually do for a living? Pls if u recently applied less than a year ago, give it some time as the ECO complained about how u changed the annual salary in a flash. If she will still be sponsoring herself, pls give it some time as if u change this annual salary or deviate again without letting one year pass u will be hooked. U can’t be changing annual income as pleased and also she did not make any research about the travel she intends to make. |

Mrmoney90: Hello, my mum is self employed and works in a sawmill, she has two Bedford trucks and workers and she makes about 15m annually and she uses her personal account. We never applied as employed and both application her business documents were submitted! We provided her tax documents, receipts, registered business documents, sawmill bills, trucks documents and all that. She chose Birmingham cos we heard it’s cheaper. First time the application was made, the question about how much she makes annually was misunderstood as profit she makes from her job. Then second application we realised they actually meant how much does she earn from the job in total but what I failed to do was address it in the cover letter. We provided bank statement showing transactions from different customers with descriptions and also receipt to back it up. My mum uses her personal account for business so her customers and clients pay into her account when making purchase. It’s hard to determine how much she makes annually as each year is different. By the way to avoid other mistake, is her annual income the profit she makes or how much in total she gets from customers. |

giselle237: Hello, my mum is sponsoring herself, and reason for travel is vacation make she self travel once after hard work. My mum is a timber contractor and her business is registered and she also pays tax. My mum actually makes about 10-15m in a year, it’s a business that changes with season and so many other circumstances so each annual earning will be different m. First application was a mistake and was my first time doing it hence silly mistakes were made, I wish I seeked help then but I was scared of these deceptive agents. I don’t know what else the eco wants as we provided every documents pertaining to her job and her bank statement showing multiple business transactions from customers with receipts and invoices for 6 months. Last refusal was in November and she intends trying again September. |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 5 by Mrmoney90: 4:54pm On Feb 11, 2023 |
Ayomidelabaeka5: Ok I get you now. You see, the mistake you guys made was reapplying again without letting the whole thing cool off after the first refusal. Well, I admit the fact that I probably didn’t see self employed in the first refusal. I guess it must’ve been typing error from the ECO. How much she makes annually is how much money she rakes in per year, which of course includes profits. One problem with using your personal account for business is that transactions in the account cannot be understood easily. You know they also ask how much she earns per month, they would like to see that. Since her business is already registered with the CAC, why not get her a business account? So the money from her business can be going in there? From there she can be paying herself monthly from her business. That way, her finances will be straightforward. Just work on the afore stated and Kindly give it some time before reapplying again. Good luck 1 Like |

Please I am a student in UK currently on Tier 4 Visa. If I have my COS and want to switch to skilled work Visa. What requirements will I need to apply including cost? Will I require IELTS? Thanks. |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 5 by DMainMan: 2:31am On Feb 12, 2023 |
ignis: Hi Ignis. Glad you are in the UK. I recall all those days on Nairaland. For general information and requirements about Skilled Worker Visa: https://www.gov.uk/skilled-worker-visa Costs depend on whether you are in UK, outside UK or your job is on the shortage list: https://www.gov.uk/skilled-worker-visa/how-much-it-costs For English test: You don't need any English test since you had already demonstrated proof of English in your Student visa application. The visa application will inquire if you had previously provided evidence of English proficiency in a previous visa application. You will be asked; Have you provided evidence of your English language ability in a previous application? Select Yes |
