😂🤣😂 we didn’t want her to be denied o. Abeg. She is my favourite aunt in the whole world we needed to put in everything . Thank God it worked out.

hunee:

I am happy for you. One would have thought otherwise considering her home ties concerns you raised, but it was a smart thing you did by showing substantial evidence.
And that's a lesson for others who find themselves in these categories, always show eco sufficient documents.

Congratulations 🎊 again and wishing her safe trip

Congrats. It is Tier 2 dependent visa, not spousal visa. Spouse visa is for partners of British citizens and settled persons.
You are not in country yet, Your chances will increase then, also you would have your BRP and can apply for your NI when you enter. Post further questions on the living in uk thread for assistance.

Lilymond:
Ooh wow thanks alot for your response. Please if you don't mind, what's NI?

Ipanema:
Hi folks,
My application was refused because the the officer didn't read their own information...I had filled in monthly salary at 350knaira monthly and they mistook this for 350k annually.

My bank statement was also purposely kept clear of noise as I ensured it was only showing the 350k paid monthly by my employer and the 100k I take out monthly for my bills( I make sure I take out the 100k in one go as well, to avoid clutter).

No other ins or out in the salary account apart from salary in monthly and 100k out monthly, I left the residual valance every month in thr same account...so how they can then say the funds are unexplained is beyond me, as it states the company name that pays the money (same company I have identified as my employer on my application o)

They clearly had no issue with mu sponsor as my sister had written ans shown prove she'll pay my flight, accommodation and feeding...I have shown home ties with my kids, husband and work so these aspects are not an issue .

I am planning to reapply, as I believe this person reviewed in haste and didn't verify the information before them, my question is in my introduction letter do I address this as the first thing or write other aspect of the introduction before getting to this?
Ps: I did write a detailed introduction in my application, showed itinerary etc.

Congratulations 🎊

ShyShyBobo:


I think everything was explained in the link.

The guide helped me too.

I paid online, the actual 30k. But capturing officer(a woman) was hesitant to capture me. She said I'll need to pay. She actually delayed me (around 10 minutes) because I said I called their official customer care. Others there were giving her 3k, 5k, actually, they'll expect you to give them a price first.

Inshort, she didn't collect anything from me. And I got my certificate around 5/6pm same day.

Please guys, does anyone know if they refund IHS money if visa is denied? Like can we apply for a refund if visa is denied.

Lizboh:

Pls check your mail....I need to ask some personal questions

giselle237:

jacketemma:
Good evening all, Please does anyone knows if I can process a 5 days priority UK visit visa.. Someone told that me the UK don't do priority Visit visa in Nigeria.. I just want a confirmation.. I have a function to attend on 2nd of December; I'm worried it might be late to start standard process now.

Thegamingorca:


You should be more worried about what date for biometrics you will find.

jacketemma:


Are you saying the priority works, but I might still not get a favourable biometrics date?

MrSoftlife:


This has to do with the ETA (Electronic Travel Authorization). This was introduced last year for countries who do not need a visa to enter the AUK.

For now this for nationals of Bahrain, Jordan, Oman Saudi Arabia, UAE.

Don't let this be of concern to you l.

Ashirioluwa:



Why will you apply for a visa again when you already have one?

Go back to your agent to clarify what he or she meant.

Unless maybe he was talking about a different visa category. For example, if you have a visitor visa but you're planning to visit the UK for work purposes, then you will need to apply for a new visa.

FaithfulGod4me:
Good morning nairalanders, please i'm in a little fix and need honest opinions.

I have been reading about care giver job and people say its a nasty job and degrading.

I also have an opportunity to enter UK via IT work but we will be trained for some months in the UK on tech skills before job placements.

I have aready done courses on care giving and gotten certificates and have also commensed processing for HCPC registration (i am originally into Healthcare here in Naija but must get UK license before getting a job in my original career and chances of me getting a job in my original career is higher if i am already in UK).

Bottom line is that... The goal now is to enter the UK legally.
Should i take the IT opportunity or the care giver route?

Note: both have 5 years visa validity.

Please don't discourage me. I have been through alot already.

Cashmadam:


Sorry about the refusal.

Next time, convert all figures in Naira to Pounds. It helps. The Naira figures sometimes confuses them. I say this from experience.

Secondly, salary of N350,000 a month is low - sponsor or no sponsor. Especially with the FX rate that has gone up significantly.

Perharps others can help.
