giselle237: I was invited by brother in law and he offered to sponsor my trip since he and his wife(my sister) couldn't come to Nigeria while my mum was sick until her death and burial. And that I have not seen them for a long time and was unable to attend their wedding. Home ties: My bar dues/practicing dues for 2024; having an aging dad who is still mourning the loss of his wife;leave approval from my boss and evidence of attending the bar conference in August. |

Please I am inviting my Mum to visit, she is employed and I have all the employment documents. My concern is that her personal account has had lump deposits in the past 6 months as she has real estate investments and other side hustles. The money was not paid in at the same time nor was it paid in close to period of her application. But how does one explain lump sums from personal investments? We have land documents to attach but will that not be seen as an asset rather than an investment? Make Una help abeg |

Hey gurus, UK I have served my mother in-law breakfast. She applied for a visit visa to visit me and my family. I stated that I'll be her sponsor and provided all relevant documents but I think the part where she was asked how much she would be contributing to the trip messed everything up. I'll attach a copy of the refusal for you all to help me analyze cos we definitely want to re-apply. Thanks bosses and bossets

America001: I think the problem was her bank statement not the £100 she was contributing to the trip. Because a £100 is less than two months salary for her. How much was her balance and what was the source of income? Someone with a salary of less than 200k shouldn’t have an unexplained big statement balance like 5m naira upwards etc. it needs to make sense, so it’s not like account padding was done before 4 - 6 months statement. |

crackcrack: UPDATE So I got really great advice from people when I tabled this issue a few days ago. I passed through Border Force yesterday and thought to share my experience with the thread, in case anyone might be in the same situation in the future. This is the transcript between me and the Border Force Officer at Heathrow. He was a middle-aged British-Indian man. Me: Good evening. (Handed him my passport). BFO: Good evening, sir. He takes my fingerprints. BFO: Where are you coming from? Me: Nigeria. BFO: What are you in the UK for? Me: A short holiday. BFO: How long will you be here? Me: Just a week. BFO: What's your profession back in Nigeria? I told him my job title and the kind of company I work for. BFO: Do you own the company? Me: No. I'm just an employee. BFO: What's the name of the company? I told him. BFO: Will you be going back to resume work for the company? Me: Yes, I will. BFO: Where will you be staying? Did you book a hotel? Me: Yes, I booked a hotel. Because he specifically asked if I booked a hotel, I thought he was going to ask to see the reservation. So I immediately told him I would be staying in the hotel for a few days and then visiting with a friend. He didn't ask anything about my friend or ask to see the reservation. BFO: Do you have a return ticket? Me: Yes, I do. BFO: Can I see it? I give him the return ticket printout. BFO: What date are you going back to Nigeria? I thought this was a trick question because he was literally holding my ticket and could see the date. Anyways, I tell him the return date. He then hands me back my ticket and stamps my passport. BFO: Enjoy your time in the UK. Me: Thank you. Overall, it was a very pleasant experience. The whole thing felt like a brief chat with a friend. Like many people said on the thread, Border Force knows that plans can and do change. So even if you have to tweak things a bit from your visa application, it should be fine, as long as you are genuinely a tourist and you have no intention of overstaying. Thanks to everyone that gives advice on this thread. 4 Likes |

tobinofadipe: I believe it's an error from their end. I'm currently experiencing the same issue with someone's application. |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 5 by Olaoke16(m): 8:18am On Jun 06 |
I am aware that a 2-year-old child does not need to do biometrics for a UK visiting visa. Can I book an appointment for myself and take her international passport along? Do I need to book an appointment for her on the TSL site to submit her international passport and digital passport? Because I can only see premium appointments since three days ago on their site. Please, your advice is highly welcome. |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 5 by giselle237: 8:19am On Jun 06 |
Olaoke16:She goes there. Her picture must be taken so she must have a booking as others. It is only the finger printing part a 2 year old does not do… every other process is same. You are not the one to take the digital passport, TLS would take it and ask you to say aloud child’s DOB. She needs an appointment |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 5 by Olaoke16(m): 8:20am On Jun 06 |
giselle237: Okay. Thank you so much. |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 5 by America001: 8:22am On Jun 06 |
akintola213: Yes I did |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 5 by America001: 8:25am On Jun 06 |
Jamesclooney: Her balance was 600k plus. I honestly didn't look at the statement but will surely do before re-applying to make sure it's only her salary that's the source of all money paid into the account |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 5 by Cashmadam: 3:01pm On Jun 06 |
Bimri: Next time, she should seperate her personal and business accounts. Register her company and ensure it is active on the CAC portal |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 5 by Cashmadam: 3:04pm On Jun 06 |
Bimri: Her US Visa should help. Let's hope for the best.. |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 5 by Cashmadam: 3:07pm On Jun 06 |
Jamesclooney: Either scenerio will work. Everything depends on their personal and financial circumstances. If one of the parents has travel history, it does help. Since none has, I suggest they apply as a family - for family vacation. 6 months bank statement would be advisable. When it comes to applying for visas, take your time. Don't rush. It is better to get tit right and avoid a refusal. 2 Likes |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 5 by Cashmadam: 3:11pm On Jun 06 |
Livylicha: Your husband's travel history will help. Please mention your sister and state that you will visit her but will not stay with her. You don't need an invitation from your sister if you are not planning to stay with her. Just ensure you fill the online form very carefully. If you need help as you go along, let us know. In addition, ensure you accounts are "clean". Use your personal account - not company account. You can provide your company account but it is your personal account that really matters. Good luck! 4 Likes |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 5 by Cashmadam: 3:19pm On Jun 06 |
iamademola: They need to verify the document you submitted. Unfortunately, they were unable to verify the only document that would have helped them take a decision. If you reapply, the same scenerio will play out. The only other option available is for you to legally adopt your step daughter. That will take a while. I pray you are able to sort this out. Good luck! 2 Likes |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 5 by Jamesclooney: 4:43pm On Jun 06 |
Cashmadam: Thanks if they do as a couple only, leaving kids with grandparents for short holiday will that help with ties. Other ties are: - Husband owns a business with CAC and robust accounts. However doesn’t pay himself a salary monthly to personal account. How can he mitigate the risk here? - Wife. Has a remote job. Salary comes as forex but has to be moved around a bit and shows up on her dorm account as self deposits. NB - they both have travel history. Husband has been to Uk Over ten years ago. And Italy 5yrs ago. Wife has been to Italy 5yrs ago, but rejected by UK & USA (does she need to disclose USA visa refusal, does UK share information with USA?) Thank you for your time. |

Also, I'm seeing a fee tagged as user pay fee of 76 pounds.. I don't know why it's so, cos I can't pay what I don't owe and it delaying my appointment submission. Pls, what would've caused this and what's the way forward? |

Yes you will have to pay for it if you chose VI as your appointment location. Ikeja is free but too late to change to that. stKorea: 1 Like |

snowphunmee: Oh okay, thanks for this.. One more thing, is there any file or documents specifications to upload on tls? Or the system accepts all specification |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 5 by BruceXavier: 2:52pm On Jun 07 |
stKorea: Not only will you have to pay the 76GBP, you might not be to select a self service date without paying for primetime or one of the additional services from TLS. I hope it has now been resolved if not you wont be able to proceed to checkout without adding one of he premium services. All the best |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 5 by stKorea: 5:36pm On Jun 07 |
BruceXavier: Haaa.. Anyways I've been able to checkout without other selected service, just to upload documents now.. I'd appreciate if my second question can be answered please boss.. Wahala for person like me wey ignorant dey kill fa 1 Like |

Hello everyone , I'm a silent reader of this forum and i want to appreciate everyone for the great information's shared on this platform. I applied on the 23rd of May and i didnt receive any application received confirmation email from the UKVI. When i tracked in the TLS ..It states that my application has been transferred to the DMC. I know ideally, it usually takes 15 days for the decision to be made but i am worried and i am currently on the 10th day . Should i email the UKVI or give them a paid call? Also i declared a past visa denial from Canada last year and i attached a letter of explanation of why i was rejected and decided not to re apply to Canada. Most people i have seen got thier visas in less than 10 days.. I am just worried. cry cry |
