At no time has the £250 fee at the Port harcourt center been for priority please. It is clearly written on the site and has been shared here in the past.

It is better not to share false information if you are not certain.

ShootingStar92:


On the application, you pay $101 dollars as standard before you can submit your visa application (this was in September) then, I wondered if a part of the £250 or 246k naira was completing the above payment to a total of £250 for priority.

As I mentioned earlier, as of the time these applications/biometrics were made our experience was different e.g the cost was £250 for priority I believe before the increase recently.

Whatever the case maybe, I recommend finding out more if in doubt.

Newbiein2016:
Giselle is giving you good advise but it's up to you to take it.

Your response indicates this application was approached in a willy nilly manner and to be honest rushing to reapply might earn another refusal if not done properly.

You need to prove to the VO that they will return & will not access public funds during their stay in the UK.

To do this, you must show through carefully put together documentation their hometies to Nigeria.

This is not restricted to their house documents but can and should include:

- Their financial circumstances (including all bank statements showing the cooperative millions, which BTW ought to have been included ab initio). You should have included their savings information.

- Their professional ties (employment letters, promotion letters, reference letters, payslips, retirement letter, retirement benefit, even pension accounts & statement etc.)

- Their social ties (e.g. if retired and a member of a society, should include this with supporting documentation)

- Family hometies (other children, grandchildren in Nigeria). Given this refusal, it might be prudent for only one person to apply as advised and the other serve as hometie.

- Any other tie to demonstrate they'll return home.

Thank you. Advise taken into consideration

Good morning everyone,
please I need your input on this. I applied for a UK visit visa sometime in May this year to attend a conference in July that my office was going to sponsor but unfortunately, I didn't show proof of my own personal fund but attached every other document needed during my application and I was denied.
I wanted to apply again in December for January 2024, can I use a 4 months bank statement to reapply?
Is there something I should do differently apart from
showing my proof of funds/ salary account?
Also during my first application in May, I was earning about 195k and in July my salary was increased to 250k. Do I need to explain my salary increment on my cover letter??
Below is my refusal letter

elohim24:


They can't travel separately as my father in law is almost 70 and he can't stay back or come alone, also If We are to work on the statement, it will definitely be late for the graduation. They both have cooperative savings over the years that is into millions but I don't feel it's necessary that's why I didn't put it in the previous application.

Seems like you really don’t want to understand what is going on. Graduation ok fine. But there’s no right to a visa for graduation or any other reason. Even if they give you the visa, border officials can still turn you back if they feel on a balance of probabilities your story is not clear.
You need to prove to them that you must return to your country. Everyone is an abscondee except proven otherwise. Especially for folks that have no travel history whatsoever. How cab they trust that this is not your plan like others not to go back to Nigeria if you do not take your time to prove this with ties.
Write all this things in the letter, 70 yrs old has this has that etc plus all of the advice above. Good luck

The person at your company that authorized your travel for conference should write a statement explaining the following: the reason that particular training/conference was selected out of other available trainings, why you were selected to go instead of other employees, and the reason why they selected a lower paid employee to receive such expensive training and why they chose to invest in training you. It’s an instant red flag to the reviewer because even large, multi-National corporations rarely send lower paid employees to train internationally.
195k salary and your company paying all that? Now 250k. Your salary is still very very low.


U also told them u are planning to personally spend 1000 pounds and no one is contributing towards this. How come so? If your company is sponsoring?
You need to take your time and get everything right before applying for any uk visa. It is not the way you guys think it is .
Select one thing and focus. But me I know a 250k salary in this age and time with little or no other substantial ties is no different from 195k

Okay…. Thank you
But what do you advice?
Apart from my office writing a statement, is there anything else I need to put in place?
Can I also reapply with a 4 months bank statement?

You already have a refusal. As your things are not in place, leave it be. The refusal sets you at a 50% chance already. No need for gambling
Use all the advice by newbie written above of documents you can provide.
And if you have a spouse and children and some assets to join it , then reapply. Otherwise ask your company to sponsor you to another country.
It is not only UK offering such conferences.
This method has casted especially for anyone with low socioeconomic circumstances.

If it is a fully funded trip then the company MUST justify why it would be paying millions for a low income earner as definitely they need to show that they are going to be making ROI. Like I said all of this feels unauthentic and that ECO spotted it.

I never said it was. I only explained what our thoughts were. Please stop trying to shut people up and instead engage in conversations constructively. I never gave out any false information instead you just chose not to read and not to understand because you already prepared your response based on your preconceived assumptions about a conversation that has nothing to do with you.

Good day guys.
How’s everyone doing?
Please I want to ask, is it ok to use 3 months statement for my application or must it be 6 months?
Thank you.

Your thoughts are not facts and to reduce misinformation I have shared the facts.

If you don't want that, don't post on a public forum.

I've heard of someone (very frequent traveller) doing this and it went successfully.

If this is your first time applying to the UK, I encourage you to use atleast 6months to show strong financial ties to your country (alongside other ties).

Apart from dependent passport
Tb test certificates

WhatsApp Chat history is from 2020 to 2023
Bank statements showing money sent to each other is from 2021 to 2023
SHEIN invoices is from 2021
NIN is just 10 months.

Why go all about posting the same thing all over and over again. You are spamming the threads
From living in uk thread to student thread to general thread.
U have received many responses to this same question.
It’s time to sit back and allow UKVI do their job.
The responses u have received are adeq8.

Your salary increment Is now worth far significantly less than what you initially said you earned in may. Your guess is as good as mine if you make another application without sponsor

You've answered your own question
You already said what your sister is spending
You already said she's doing accommodation feeding and part of flight.
So you are the one to put how much you're adding. Put it and convert to pounds. UK application uses oanda.com for exchange rate.

For bank statements put your own and your sisters bank statements.
No need to transfer anything

Provide proof of your business

Good evening guys. Sorry my wahala is plenty but I don’t know where else to ask all these questions and my biometrics is tomorrow at abuja. Please do I need to go with my sponsor’s passport or I can just go with a copy? Do all my documents need to be in colored copies and how many copies of each do I need? Do I need my National ID card too because for some weird reasons I can’t seem to find it?
Please who knows how long the biometrics process takes in Abuja cos I want to take time off work for it tomorrow and I want to know how long to ask for.

Thank you.
