Good day all, I once stated on my last post yesterday seeking for advice as I kept my passport with me due to need to travel out of the country while other members of my family submitted theirs during application to TLS for visiting Visa 2 weeks this December to London.
I was mailed instructing me to return my passport yesterday but am out of town, and today other members got a mail to come pick up , please find below content sent:

Thank you all.

Visa had been approved, congratulations in advance, I'm sure it had been approved.
If it was refused, you would have gotten an email informing you of it's refusal and a letter attached stating why it was refused. If you check your mail and junk/spam messages and you don't find any email from UKVI on it refusal, then you had been approved.

Secondly, if it was denied, there's no need requesting you to submit your travel document.

They can go pick up theirs. Ignore the original photographic ID, let them present the checklist and a copy of their passport data page.

Blackfinegirl:


Don't worry, If they need more evidence they will let you know

Okay thank you

That's not true. Your Visa application starts the day you do Biometric not when you submitted.

Oyesquare, stop misleading people. Visa application date is the date the visa form is submitted. Not the day of the biometric. Check google.

Very true. Might lead to refusal. Why did you not wait? Simple rule.

Hi everyone, does anyone have experience with booking flights from Nigeria to London via Expedia?

Good evening all, so I got my visa refused mail today because of some inflow that came into my account recently that I didn't explain in my letter of introduction which I assumed was self explanatory. Inflows include company profit bonus for the year and housing, leave allowance for the year (the breakdown is in my employment letter which I uploaded as well and even the remark on the transaction stated mortgage allowance) . So I am thinking of reapplying and my question is will I be required to go for biometrics again?

This is called Non Straight forward mail. It has no implication. Sometimes the Officer use this email to request for additional information but in this case, no further information/document is needed. So do nothing and expect feedback.

Pls advice needed

wifey1:
Pls for someone applying for visit visa but hubby is sponsoring, what's the ideal amount I should have in my account,as I see the visa officers are really after personal finance.

wifey1:
Pls advice needed

I was having 4M in my account and my husband was my sponsor. Your sponsor should have a reasonable money in his account

Kindly help out with this please.

Morning Everyone.
Please my mom's Visa was refused yesterday. Attached is the reason of refusal which is majorly funds available to her. I didn't submit her personal accounts because I feel mine is sufficient. So I intend to submit her account in the next application.
Kindly help with the following:
1.Please what's the reasonable amount to be in her account.
2. Is one month statement sufficient
3. Reasonable duration of visit

Thank you

Kindly help with the following:
1.Please what's the reasonable amount to be in her account.
2. Is one month statement sufficient
3. Reasonable duration of visit

U stated that she would be PERSONALLY spending £2200 and did not include her bank statements
Pls if she is fully sponsored write £1 there as she is not PERSONALLY spending the money as she has none from herself.
The ECO said they have been unable to determine if she has these money really available to her and also unable to tell of her current living circumstances in Nigeria.
One month bank statement is not enough, they want to see her circumstances in Nigeria…. as against what you filled in her form
Reasonable duration of visit for mother coming to see their child(in my opinion) is 2 weeks to 1 month.
If she gets the visa and decides to stay longer then fine but don’t start raising eyebrows by including a 5 month duration on her visa form.

Thank you very much for this.
Please can you clarify the £1 aspect. I am fully sponsoring her as she really doesn't have much. She's dependent on funds from her children.
I think the question in the form is usually how much does she plan to spend, do you mean I should put £1 for her.
And where in the form do I indicate fully sponsored by me aside my letter?
Thank you

Thank you

the questions are 2…
1.
is how much are you planning to spend AND
2.
then how much are you personally spending… those are 2 questions. If you are fully sponsoring her and as the ECO pointed out, the how much personally should be £1 as she does not have any personal money to bring out.

Thegamingorca:
Remove that microfinance Bank and use actual bank.

You can't tell these ppl you work in teckkkk. That's not a job description.

I say reduce the visit to one week, what the heck are you going to be explaining you are doing in the UK for 3 weeks?

Go and find casual leave letter of only one week on the expected dates you will intend to travel( it shouldn't pass one week oh!)

I asked you for you monthly disposable income you are quoting annual salary. You need to demonstrate that you are not just saving money but that you are spending from inside. Be it to transfer to another bank and reshuffle back into your account through salary is no one's business. Your expected expenses you intend to tell them you will waste on this trip yourself should not pass 3 times your disposable income. If not another refusal.

Avoid anything that will complicate the application or raise eyebrows.
You straight up just need to present a company you work in with monthly payment on a designated official day stated in your employment letter.

If she is sponsoring you, is it flight and accomodation for one week or is it the whole package.

I wonder why this guy is giving the ECO further reason to refuse him again, Why cant he just take simple advise? beside why is the sister sponsoring a full blown adult who is expected to be working? and one of the main reason the ECO is looking for is Economic ties they wants to know that you are financially capable to take care of yourself not relying on someone elso to take care of your bills/expenses as an adult.

If you state that your sister is inviting you and you will be staying at her place, that makes more sense not that she is part sponsoring you, this will give you more buffer being that cost of accomodation is out hence you dont have to incure more travel exxpenses and the ECO will not have to calculate your expenses against your supposed income and what you should have as savings. You want to show that even if you make the trip, its not going to affer your savings; (i.e every expenses you may incur during your trip will be just like a pinch of salt from your savings)

With the way you are going, you are creating an impression to the ECO that if given the charce, you may not come back since you cant prove you can stand on yourown without the help of your sister. Saying you want to stay more that 2 weeks for someone who claims he is gaining employed is also questionable. Why do you want to leave your job for that long?

I am here to show my appreciation to you guys for the good knowledge you share here and it comes with no condition.
My family went for pick and Visa has been approved and only to get back to Nigeria and submit my passport to be stamped.
Thanks once again.

Right

It means they are unable to process your application within their timeframe. Nothing to do but wait.
