lol you are still replying, even when you said you wouldn't?? Be decisive mhen!..

They asked for the share code because according to the website one should be able to generate it with passport details...and this isnt even HR but a liason person to HR ....i wont go into much details to give you an incline into who my employer is...(and before your mind goes far im not working with an agency).

They most likely needed the share code for some paper work on their end. Not generating it wasnt a deal beaker.... I only mentioned it when you started running mouth about me putting the cart before the horse (because i mentioned share code and rent) Mentioning it was to let you know where the thoughts about share code came from and what made me research about it - (even if like i said earlier, i owe you no explanations....the explanations are to clear you on your assumptions and jumping into conclusions).

I am in the process of renting. As i said, my visa only came out last week, so be calming down. I know you're hurriedly waiting to hear i failed to rent cos of lack of share code. .

Again, If you read to understand, in my reply you'd see where i said the renters i have contacted i sent them my vignette to prove my right to rent and quoted what the guidelines said and i haven't received any objections thus far. Still in the process. I approached one of the private accommodations that house students, i mailed them and mentioned what i needed....session is ending in June, there's a possibility they may be able to offer me something for about 2 months before the students resume in September. They asked if I'm a student. I said no and i attached my vignette..

Naysayers like you would always be there. If i didn't know the UK well, how did i get a skilled job in an occupation code on the shortage list that isnt a care job or in IT or attaching to be an arangee dependant. A job directly with an employer not via agency.

I studied the shortage list jobs like it was a bible! i read the immigration guidelines etc. I saw the niche i could leverage, where my skills fit, i followed some laid out steps and God did it!

My point is if listened to naysayers like you i would probably wont have this. Same way if i listen to naysayers like you about saying vignette cant prove right to rent, i probably wont have a temp or short term accom sorted before i come to UK.

It might not be easily doable getting a short term accom and using vignette to prove right of rent, but it dosent mean it cannot be done (as the guideline permits it)!

Same way its not easily doable getting a skilled job from naija; that's not care, teaching, health sector or IT; but it can be done. Proving youre the best in the interview amongst others who sef dey UK is not easily doable but can be done (so far as the immigration guideline permits)!!

Now let that sink!!!

You are the one with the nasty energy here, not me....Rather than keep arguing back and forth, accept what the guidelines say. We didn't write the guidelines. Not me, not you. UKVI did. That its hard to get done, or you dont know anyone whose done so, dosent mean its not doable - so far as its stated in the guidelines.

Sharing an email from your employer to prove that you were asked for a share code.. really??
Everyone in the UK knows that HR 99 percent of the time are clueless about these things but know the tick boxes and would ask you these questions .. it is part of an important tick box as they know to avoid to employ any illegal fellow.
If she were following the guidelines as you say, she would have jumped at your idea of receiving your visa vignette and used that to go ahead. They have no business with that visa vignette of 30 days. Hear it and hear it well. The vignette is to grant you ENTRY into the UK.
Why have you not generated the share code from your vignette to rent and for your employer as you know the guidelines ??

Why is your employer still waiting on a code from you??
Why have you not rented yet as you know UK to a large extent? Why are you still telling us?

I can paste all the responses you have received even from the living in Uk thread that if it concerns a share code- you would have to wait to pick up your BRP but you have decided that you know the guidelines. Please show the guidelines to the landlord and your employer Mr. Sunak and stop mentioning me.
For the last time, Why have you not generated the code Mr. Rishi Sunak??
Please go and generate your code from the guidelines and stop dissipating nasty energy on nairaland.

Hello, I am currently reviewing someone's UK visiting application to visit his brother in the UK. There are sections on the application that need clarification. He is currently an NYSC member, earning 33k, so his two-week trip would be sponsored by his brother. The income and expenditure section got him confused, and I would like an assessment of his answers for this section and whether they are fine to have such an answer (his keeping it truthful). The section has the following questions after declaring his Job title, how much he earns each month after tax (i.e 33k), and a description of his job ( office administrator)

1. Do you have another income or any savings?
Ans: Other regular additional income
2. What kind of regular additional income do you have?
Ans: Allowance or regular money from your family (This person has almost all his siblings abroad and gets funds around to balance his low 33k NYSC salary)
3. Total amount of regular additional income that you get in a year
Ans: 1800 GBP ( he's putting this figure as the approximate he receives and would request the equivalent of this fund to be sent to his naira account (POF) for this trip and show his bank statement as evidence of funds available to him at the time of his trip)
4. How much money are you personally planning to spend on your visit to the UK, which includes flight fees, feeding and accommodation?
Ans: 1400 GBP
5. what is the total amount of money you spend each month?
Ans: N40,000 ( He declared already that he stays with his parent in a rent-free apartment living in his parent-built apartment where he walks to work close to him, so he spends even less)
6. Will anyone be paying toward the cost of your visit?
Ans: Yes, and that's his brother, whom he will stay with for the two weeks and who will show evidence of the 1400 GBP he plans to spend on the trip.
Now, why I needed opinions on these answers was because a lot going on about showing that one has huge savings or earning capacity. Also, whether these amounts suggested are appropriate to be granted visiting travel. Thanks

Congratulations on your new role and your visa. It’s great to see people progressing legitimately. Very well done. @Giselle237 has been on this thread from the early days helping thousands of people. She’s always done this with no malice; no matter the silly questions asked. She’s truly been an asset and I can assure you meant no harm in her responses. However, you came across as knowing it all. So, why then keep asking? Your responses were too defensive and I think both of you going at each other is just futile.

Wish you all the best with the rental. I’m sure you can use what you have and the guidelines to sail through with some landlords and that’s what matters. She was just saying that the chances are likely to be low but I see you want to be well prepared and organized and that’s great. All the best! You got this!!!

@giselle237 thanks for your painstaking advice to everyone over the years.

Removed as fans should always be ignored. Starve the obsession.

Shes been here for long doesn't mean she'd always be right.... and it sounded like she wanted to be right at all cost!

I posted and put the facts, yet she was still charging head on. I mean - i put the screenshot from UKVI site with the info. What more again? In a bid to quickly discharge and dismiss what I said, she didn't even read the facts/ info correctly, and was misquoting wrongly.

Afterall, isnt that the purpose of this place is ? to put credible information out there?

My responses were defending what i read (the glaring facts) and not going at her. I dont know her personally...

You say i came across as knowing it all? - im not clueless on UK immigration matters, but that dosent mean i know it all. I didn't even know that vignette/ immigration docs can be used for right to rent (according to UKVI) till i researched and read it up on their website... just days before, my employer mentioned share code and that was what spurred me to read up more about it.

If you see the initial question on the thread, it was about how to generate share code with passport and not talking about share code for renting....

My point is no one knows it all. That someone has been on the platform for long still dosen't mean they know it all...

If information (with supporting facts) is brought, that's different from what a person has known all this while, or information they didn't know....then let them also be gracious enough to accept the new info that is been shed in a different light, and not display an attitude of "I'm always right or I must always be right"

We all learn everyday. There's no one here that knows it all. That's the essence of this group.

I am open to helping people out too. I post replies to peoples questions as well, same way people reply to mine, and its been all good thus far.

love and light Amelia!

@giselle237 thanks for your painstaking advice to everyone over the years.

Please there is phrase that these Visa Officer use always
“They say they can’t get the origin of the funds in your account.”
Please my opening balance in my account is quite low about 7M, I’ve been saving there after expenses, please how do I now prove that this is my money since they want to know. Thank you.

Anyone reading this, let this thread not digress. I am the fellow in question, and this isn't about share code anymore. It initially started off with Share Code, and the discourse moved to documents that can be used for right to rent. I initially created the thread, but my posts and replies were intentionally removed in a bid to distort the narrative....

As i said earlier, my employer made a mention of share code, and i posted on this site about me having issues generating share code with my international passport. I was told by @cashmadam that i couldn't generate a share code with my international passport. I didn't dispute that. I mentioned that share code is used for rent, so how then would one be able to rent an apartment? I was more or less told i have to wait till i get to UK to be able to rent - cos i cant get share code from Nigeria (that was the insinuation of what was said). After doing my research, I later found out from UKVI site that to prove right to rent you can also use your immigration /travel docs (vignette). I mentioned this, quoted the facts and that was where the back and forth stemmed from with you. A person who is just hell bent on following her views against the facts, and cant admit for this one time she is not right!

Yeah, we know share code dosent work with naija passport. You can only get it in UK with BRP, and you need share code to prove your right to rent...However, according to UKVI site, you can use, your vignette to prove your right to rent (I only stumbled on this when I read the guidelines as well).

Now, I believe this would work for a short term accom stuff. Afterall, it's a given that people leaving from naija are trying to sort rental out for 1 to 3 months before they get settled in UK.

So if you're trying to sort a short term accommodation from naija before entering UK you can be proactive and mail renters with a copy of your vignette and send them the link to the info that says vignette can be used. Nothing ventured nothing gained. It's not easy getting short term rental dosent mean it's not doable. A few landlords or rental agencies do offer short term.

The guidelines already said you can use your vignette. So my own advice is try. There's no harm in trying. Worst case you don't get any positive response, good case you get a positive response.

Afterall we can agree than not every land lord might know this... Information is power and if you can use it to your advantage good!

At the end of my post is a screenshot of the doc from UKVI site that clearly states "for those who are not British or Irish......"

I didn't come up with the guidelines myself, i only stumbled on it, I am still in Nigeria, and I'm currently trying to also see if i can obtain a short term accom as well before arriving UK, using my vignette if asked about right to rent.... Nothing ventured, nothing gained. I am in touch with rental agencies ; based off my own research and my employer sent me a link of some short term accoms to check as well around the area and some agencies who can be able to do short term.

Hint here: So i approached one of the private accommodations that house students, i mailed them and mentioned what i needed. Because session is ending in June, theres a possibility they may be able to offer me something for about 2 months before the students resume in September. They asked if I'm a student. I said no and i attached my vignette....They said they'd get back to me on the other short term options they have. They dont only manage student properties....

I am only explaining all this to say nothing is impossible so far the guideline permits, and you're willing to give it a shot. People are quick to jump and say its not doable, housing crisis in UK blah blah. E no dey doable abi, but some people still dey manage get am. E fit dey hard to get, no mean say its not doable!

Here's the link to the info and facts, for those who want to read it up themselves https://www.gov.uk/prove-right-to-rent/using-immigration-documents

I have a tenacious spirit, and i don't follow crowd or follow what people say blindly, or follow peoples opinion without fact checking and giving things a good and thorough try/attempt.

Same way they say its hard to get a skilled visa from outside UK in a non care /health sector role, non education role, or non IT role. That you would have to attaché to a dependent etc etc. Its hard but not impossible..... I was able to secure such without attaching to anyone or being in any of these listed professions...some others have been able to secure such as well... I dont say it to boast, just to reiterate the facts that - e fit dey hard, but still some people dey get am. If dem no give things a good try (armed with the right knowledge and info) how dem for know??

(I will not ignore)

This fellow has not left Nigeria to commence the job but is instead so worried about all the naysaysers that did not want him to land a skilled job.
All the naysayers and those who don’t know UK well… so why are you in a thread asking questions that you already know all about? You know it all but you are here debating a naysayer like me who knows nothing and who is out to stop you and your ‘skilled work visa’

Who wants to know who your employer is?? 👋 talking about I do not want to spill too much before he/she exposes employer… oh dear!

At least 3 UK residents have come to tell you that you are wrong and will continue to be wrong.
They have all echoed same thing, if it does not work with your passport, simply wait and get your BRP… but oh no… we are all talking crass!
Speaking loudly about short term rentals further exposes/establishes the fact that you know nothing about the rental situation in the UK … like you think a UK landlord cares about your bloody 30 day vignette stamp and would rent accommodation to you because you are showing him a vignette stamp of 30 days from your house in Nigeria. The 30day entry stamp is proof of what? Please do not make any effort to pick up your BRP. Stay there. Everyone except YOU does not know the guidelines or how to read www. gov.uk
Do not pick up your BRP. Tell them the guidelines say.
You are the brainchild for skilled work visas, vignette stamps, how to rent in the UK and shortage occupation lists.

With housing shortages a landlord would look at you with your skilled work vignette stamp from Nigeria… a 30 day stamp… and no BRP, no e-visa and no right to rent share code? Why have you not generated a right to rent share code since your first attack with your almighty screenshots?
What is delaying your ‘factual’ vignette and guidelines from generating this right to rent share code?


Your community people that were telling you you could not land a job in UK are the people you need to go back to as clearly you have a serious bone to pick with them.
I absolutelyyyyyyyyy do not care about you or whatever guidelines you are crying about. This I can assure you!

Hello everyone.
Please can you advice on how much to put in the form, as the amount to be spent in the UK, if the ticket has already been bought and accommodation is with a family member? Please how much is also reasonable to have as POF for this person applying for a visiting visa? Thank you

.

Please what amount is reasonable to spend on a 3 weeks visit for someone with a #6,000,000 balance?

Is it also wrong to specify that the reason for visit is to see your new born grandchild (Omugwo).

Hi everyone I'm currently finding difficult to select a self service appointment. Each time I select a time slot it doesnt allow me proceed to checkout. Can someone explain why?

Hello everyone, please I am having same challenge as the post above. I selected TLS Abuja for biometrics but all the dates available from Monday tomorrow to Friday and even nextweek are either prime time, premium or the :15 timeslots reserved for super priority. How can the long list of dates and no regular timeslot? Please anyone that can advise on what to do because I think selecting any of premium or prime timeslots will incur big extra charges that I didn't budget for. Thank you

Your salary, your assets, your savings, sales from properties etc basically you need paper evidence and paper trail to show how you came about say this 7 million. It didn’t and couldn’t have jumped into your account .. do you get?

2. What kind of regular additional income do you have?
Ans: Allowance or regular money from your family (This person has almost all his siblings abroad and gets funds around to balance his low 33k NYSC salary) - that is okay but if he relies heavily on his siblings abroad, it might be an issue for him as the visa officer might think he wants to "japa"
3. Total amount of regular additional income that you get in a year
Ans: 1800 GBP ( he's putting this figure as the approximate he receives and would request the equivalent of this fund to be sent to his naira account (POF) for this trip and show his bank statement as evidence of funds available to him at the time of his trip) - there is no need for anyone to send any money to his account. In fact, that can be a big issue for him - it will appearl like "account padding"
4. How much money are you personally planning to spend on your visit to the UK, which includes flight fees, feeding and accommodation?
Ans: 1400 GBP - that's fine
5. what is the total amount of money you spend each month?
Ans: N40,000 ( He declared already that he stays with his parent in a rent-free apartment living in his parent-built apartment where he walks to work close to him, so he spends even less) - that's fine. convert to pounds and insert figure in Pounds, not Naira
6. Will anyone be paying toward the cost of your visit?
Ans: Yes, and that's his brother, whom he will stay with for the two weeks and who will show evidence of the 1400 GBP he plans to spend on the trip. - Okay
Now, why I needed opinions on these answers was because a lot going on about showing that one has huge savings or earning capacity. Also, whether these amounts suggested are appropriate to be granted visiting travel. Thanks

- he needs to focus on his personal and economic circumstances. What will make him come back to Nigeria? If he can answer that question, he will most likely get the visa. Sponsorship is not the problem. His ties to Nigeria is the most important thing he needs to convince the Visa officer about

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now to address you @giselle237: The thread initially started off with me mentioning issues i had with generating share code, and it progressed (moved on) from there to me mentioning that immigration docs can also be used to prove right to rent. I started the thread, so i clearly know what my responses were. And the thread history is still there. Read to understand...

As i said earlier, my employer made mention of share code, and i posted on this site about me having issues generating share code with my international passport. I was told by @cashmadam that i couldn't generate a share code with my international passport. I didn't dispute that. I mentioned that share code is used for rent, so how then would one be able to rent an apartment? I was more or less told i have to wait till i get to UK to be able to rent - cos i cant get share code from Nigeria (that was the insinuation from what was said).

I checked and read the guidelines online, and I later found out from UKVI site that to prove right to rent you can also use your immigration /travel docs - vignette.. I quoted the information and facts from UKVI site, and that was where the back and forth stemmed from with you. A person who is just hell bent on following her views against the facts, and cant admit for this one time she is not right.

So in your own words, "stop chatting bat shit" and just accept you're wrong here. I keep showing you the facts and where you're wrong. UKVI has said vignette can be used, you misread that even after the screenshot from their site was shown to you, and yet you still fail to acknowledge what has been shown to you. Grow up!! You cant always be right every time!

You might be a Methuselah on this platform, and have been here for eons, but there would be times when you would not always be right, and this is one of them. Learn to be gracious in those moments. You cannot know it all! Sit this one out and move on.

Im not UKVI, and i dont make these stuff up. I simply quoted to you (showing pictorial evidence) what the guidelines say on their website. I have also attached 4 screenshots below the post from UKVI website. Abi did i forge UKVI site too ?? Toh!

In summary, if vignette can be used, it then implies that people should be able to make use of it to sort accommodation before they step into UK, and then proceed to get their BRP.

The bone of contention was you saying only share code can be used as right to rent, and i showed you a document that said vignette can also be used. . I never said it would be easy - sorting accommodation before getting to UK, but according to the guidelines it is doable with vignette, and i am taking the necessary steps required to pursue that route. Sorting out a soft landing is ideal before coming down - if one is able to get that.

*You're not worth the replies after this. So going forward you'll definrtely be ignored. This platform Is about disseminating info. I was civil with you, till you went ranting in your replies with name calling*

It is now no longer about the share code can be generated from passport details and vignette stamp?
This beautiful line just keeps shifting … all smokes and mirrors as usual.

Please feel absolutely free to write 10 more pages of misleading and irrelevant information, immediately they get called out they shift to trying to guilt trip people and change the distinguished narrative with veeeeeeryyyyyy irrelevant information laced with enough sob stories.
I come across your type of people on a daily basis. Like daily!

The talk was all about the right to rent share code abinitio, stay on the discourse of the right to rent share code been generated without getting a BRP. Stop chatting batshit. And stop moving the goal post. That is a foolish rookie move.

Abeg sleep well tonight as I absolutely do not care about your 24,000 words of sob stories after derailing the thread.
Keep on with quoting me.

Gd morning to you too. 🙏🏽 Peace has always reigned with me. Check my previous posts. Ive not had any altercation or issues in the past. I also respond to people, and they respond to me.

The point of here is to desemminate info. No one is an island of knowledge as you said. But when someone wants to "gaslighting" and distort the narrrative, in a bid to always be right, and not be able to accept theres a second view, then it becomes an issue.

Even after showing the docs, she's still calling names, deflecting, and using pettyy jabs. All to what gain?

What does it cost her to say "oh okay I've seen this info you dug up from UKVI site. It sheds another perspective on this".

For me it is a syndrome of always wanting to be right.

There's no prize here for anyone, we don't know each other. We all just helping out. Period.

Individuals that need visit visa advice especially shud be able to get it without any of these derailments and disruptions. Everyone that still continues on this obviously has a problem so let us also ignore them so that the purpose of this place is not lost.

humblemoi:


Just tell them that you have decided to exclude the child from your application on grounds of xyz school health event family anything.

Whatever the immigration lawyers think is the least of your worries. They will not stop your salary, yours is to provide the information they need to make the application and you should be at liberty to make a change when you see fit. Full stop!

Thanks alot, I appreciate.

AmeliaT:
Stop panicking. If she was truly your child, this same thing could have happened. Say that her mother is not in agreement and a family matter has ensued and so you have to withdraw her application. Very simple.

Also, did you specify biological daughter as she could have been your adopted child. In any case, let them know that her mother has kicked a fuss and it’s been decided she should stay home. While your other children proceed with you (if you have). But please don’t be deceitful again; what if they asked for DNA or birth certificate? I don’t know the migration process or requirements but don’t lie on such things. You could be rejected and banned.

Thanks, I'll do just that.

Hello All,

Please I need advice.

In April, I submitted a 6-month visitor visa application for my husband and our two children to visit the UK during the June half-term. I currently hold a valid 2-year visitor visa myself. The purpose of the trip was for family bonding and sightseeing at various tourist attractions

The visa was refused on this ground:
1. To demonstrate your financial circumstances, you have provided your personal bank statement in your name from GTCO Bank. I note a large deposit of 4,228,042.31 NGN and which is significantly greater than your monthly salary has inflated this account. The source of these funds is unknown, and you have provided no explanation for this. This large unexplained credit is not in line with your stated monthly income and consequently damages the credibility of your application. I am therefore not satisfied you have given an accurate reflection of your current financial circumstances and that the funds remain exclusively available to you.

This deposit was a combination of my husband's monthly salary and a refund for National Housing Fund deduction, both paid together by his employer. I explicitly explained this in the cover letter, and it was also clearly documented on the submitted payslip. It appears that the visa officer did not consider either the cover letter or the payslip during the review process. It's annoying because I was careful to explain in the cover letter. Is there anything that can be done?

Thank you very much.
Yes, I was asking because I felt they no longer look at your history for the 6 months, they also want to know how your previous income was gotten, yes, I will add those various documents.
Please I want to also ask, I do I best demonstrate reason that would return me back to Nigeria.
I have a job, a have few assets, but I just think all of these things are secondary, so from your experience, how do I best make these visa officers see my clear intentions of returning, thank you very much.

Good day everyone,

Pls I need help🙏🙏🙏…

My mother Inlaw’s visa was refused few days ago. She’s 49 and a petty trader in the village and I chose self employed for her and also stated she has some investments which pays her from time to time (Rent with proof of payment in her account). She had a closing balance of 2,076,495 as her closing balance when we applied. I attached evidence of ties back home (her house receipts, letter from her mosque, children and grand children pictures as well). She got the following as reasons for her refusal. I need help on how to rectify the refusals as I want to reapply asap before my graduation in July.

Congratulations on your mom’s visa🎉🎉

Pls did you state she was self employed and how did you address the first refusal? I would appreciate your swift response. Thank you 🙏🙏

Your job and assets actually form part of your ties back to the country. They are equally important as well.

Any established business or company you're running? Include copies of company/business registration etc, copy of docs or relationship with suppliers etc. Copies of business financials etc

Include details of any landed property you have as well. Details of any other assets - fixed deposits, etc.

No info is too much info to let the Immigration officer know you have solid ties here.

Family also shows your ties. Marriage certiifcate, birth certificate of kids etc. If not married and no kids, but your immediate family are in the country (siblings, parents) that also shows evidence of ties. Include photos showing pictures with family - spouse or kids if any or immediate family.

Letter of employment from your organisation, mentioning your roles and responsibilities, how long you've worked etc - the letter basically portrays you as an asset to the company, so the Immigration officer knows you have something worthwhile you're returning back too. Attach a copy of your work ID as to the letter.

You should include a detailed cover letter with your application detailing all of these points that prove and demonstrate your ties to your home country.

I got this email on Thursday afternoon. A refusal mail followed it on Friday night at 10:27pm.

Shes been here for long doesn't mean she'd always be right.... and it sounded like she wanted to be right at all cost!

I posted and put the facts, yet she was still charging head on. I mean - i put the screenshot from UKVI site with the info. What more again? In a bid to quickly discharge and dismiss what I said, she didn't even read the facts/ info correctly, and was misquoting wrongly.

Afterall, isnt that the purpose of this place is ? to put credible information out there?

My responses were defending what i read (the glaring facts) and not going at her. I dont know her personally...

You say i came across as knowing it all? - im not clueless on UK immigration matters, but that dosent mean i know it all. I didn't even know that vignette/ immigration docs can be used for right to rent (according to UKVI) till i researched and read it up on their website... just days before, my employer mentioned share code and that was what spurred me to read up more about it.

If you see the initial question on the thread, it was about how to generate share code with passport and not talking about share code for renting....

My point is no one knows it all. That someone has been on the platform for long still dosen't mean they know it all...

If information (with supporting facts) is brought, that's different from what a person has known all this while, or information they didn't know....then let them also be gracious enough to accept the new info that is been shed in a different light, and not display an attitude of "I'm always right or I must always be right"

We all learn everyday. There's no one here that knows it all. That's the essence of this group.

I am open to helping people out too. I post replies to peoples questions as well, same way people reply to mine, and its been all good thus far.

love and light Amelia!

N.B Here's the link to the info and facts for anyone to read up themselves. https://www.gov.uk/prove-right-to-rent/using-immigration-documents

Why do y'all assume Giselle is female? Just want you to know that Giselle is never wrong. This has been entertaining to say the least
