Email bank statements are not accepted….. you have to go to the bank and asked for a printed out bank statement, stamped

Stop disseminating false information

Letsmeet:
Good afternoon nairaland. Please a quick question. For tlc documents upload, is it better to print bank statement inside the bank and scan it to upload, or is it okay to just upload a bank statement sent to your email from your bank app? Thanks

You are allowed pls.
U can use your statements from the bank app and upload them.
You do not need to go to the bank to queue for anything. www.gov.uk is the Bible for information and they have said you are allowed, ignore false info.

OZAOEKPE:

Now, what i've been hearing now is that i can not apply for another msc since it is not showing a higher progression from my current MSC. I was told i can only obtain a MBA or PHD and not another masters

False.
You need to be able to defend why you are going for another masters, that is the caveat and not that it is forbidden. Do a bit of research yourself

@ Gesselle 237 well-done for the good work

@ Cashmaddam and other guru in the house

Can I do the budget for my and my two children like this

Wife application
Flight and hotel = £1450
7days Feeding=£210
Transportation=£100
Shopping=£200

Infant application
Flight and hotel= £1450
Feeding= breastfeeding=£0
Transportation=£0
Shopping=£150

Child 3yrs old
Flight and hotel=£1450
7days Feeding=£140
Transportation=£50
Shopping=£150

Pls kindly help me with the budget if it's not okay,by sending the corrections

It's okay. If you don't have enough money, you can reduce the money for shopping as that is not compulsory. Hotel cost should be for your wife. The assumption is that the children will stay with her in the same room.

Born2conquer:

Thank you Cashmadam, i appreciate your input. I really value it.

Now, what i've been hearing now is that i can not apply for another msc since it is not showing a higher progression from my current MSC. I was told i can only obtain a MBA or PHD and not another masters

That is not true.

I know someone who had a B.Sc Accounting, M.Sc Accounting and then went back to school for a second masters in Data science or something along that line

I have refused your application for a visit visa because I am not satisfied that you meet the
requirements of paragraph(s) V4.2-V4.6 of Appendix V because.
• You have applied to visit the UK for the purpose of tourism for 13 days. In assessing
your application. I have considered the information provided, personal and financial
circumstances and the credibility of your trip in the context of its timing and your stated
intentions.
• You state you are employed with a monthly income 292,000.00 NGN (£134.90), I note
your monthly spending is 200,000 NGN (£92.40) and you are being sponsored £3500
• You state you are being sponsored £3500. However, I note the personal bank
statement in your sponsors name, shows a closing balance of 6,392,558.04 NGN
(£2,953.46)., however this information does not adequately demonstrate your
sponsors’ financial circumstance. Therefore, I am not satisfied that your sponsor will
be able to support you for the duration of your visit.


I attached a statement of money market and they didn’t consider it!!!

I’m so angry.

The reasons are simple and glaring.

Your wife's income is low. Her monthly expenses are high - compared to her income.

Once the visa officer spotted those two things, he/she lost interest in your sponsorship. They can be very unpredictable. Ordinarily, your sponsorship should add value to her application but it appears it didn't in this case.

Gbola5:
Good day.

When running POF, will a credit/debit of 1m be flagged?
Should I attach a reason for the debit/credit of 1m.
P.S. - The required amount remains intact.

It shouldn't matter really if you have had similar large deposits several times. They don't bother about debits. If it bothers you, add a note to explain the deposit.

giselle237:

Oh wow. Then do pls make a complaint. Have you travelled before? Children?
I just feel the money market is the bane here.

Money market should not be an issue. I have used it for visa renewal, used it to sponsor my children for visit visas before they got student visas. I have also used it for Schengen visa. When the visa people want to refuse an applicant, they will look for silly excuses. In this case, the issue of money market is not tenable - especially as the sponsor provided evidence of his earnings.

I would advise that the applicant reduces her monthly expenses as I believe that is the main reason. If her salary is static, then her expenses must be reduced.

No kids. We went to Rwanda last year.

I’m actually not a big fan of traveling. Na my wife dey ginger me.

If I get it and my wife doesn’t then I’ll be unable to go. I can’t leave my wife behind.

How do I make a complaint.

Rwanda does not count as travel history as far as they are concerned.

If you get your visa, I suggest you use it. Then reapply for your wife after about 6 months.

I have seen 3 refusals like this that’s why I mentioned it. Investment funds that is..
If they see it as your ties better for you.
In one the eco expressly said they are unable to establish the applicant’s funding for the trip.

Are my going to put the total budget per person to individual application form to answer the question, that says how much is ur sponsor paying for ur trip.

Hi all, please if you experienced any problem with payment on Worldpay for a UK visit visa, please how did you fix it. I have changed cards, changed laptop, changed VPN, called UKVI, called Worldpay and everyone says everything is good on their end. If you payment is getting refused, what do you do?

Hi everyone,

Home Office contacted me via email that I needed to pay more for my visa application by providing my card details to a payment slip and send to worksponsoreddocumentrequests@homeoffice.gov.uk which I have done.

My worry now is they are yet to deduct this sum from my account and I was given 10 days to do this else my visa application becomes invalid.

Has anybody experienced this and how long did it take them (HO) to deduct the money from his/her account?

Go get a dollar bank card because I don’t think you can use a bank card that is denominated in Naira to make the payment.

Although I have never experienced this before, I believe you’re good since you’ve done what they requested you to do within the stipulated time frame.

Are you using a naira card?
When did you start your application, and when did you decide to make this payment? (Exact dates)

Please how do i go about this,
My wife is applying for skilled worker visa from Saudi Arabia, she still works there. Under the World travel history, it's mandatory to input "when did you leave the country" what can she do

Total cost for each person in each application form.

No I am using dollar cards as I am in Canada. I have tried all my siblings dollar cards, all refused, and have cleared cookies and cache. I started application 11th September and wanted to checkout same day. I checked out two applications successfully and then the remaining refused to be checked out. I have been trying since 11th and today is 19th, without any success

[quote author=Goodkindbro post=132068563][/quote]

There's a 7 days rule to make payments for UK visa applications once you've been given the link to pay. That's why I asked the exact date you started the application. I'm not sure if it's what affecting your payment.
The other applications you've done, did you also start them on the 11th and paid today (19th)?

Yes, it appears okay

Please what was the outcome? Have you gotten a mail from TLS?

Funtiwon:
I applied for the student visa and did my Biometric on the 22nd of August. After over 15 days, specifically on 12th September, I got a mail that processing my application is not straightforward and decision cannot be made within the service period of 15 days.
I got worried and decided to raise a paid enquiry on Sunday 15th Sept. They responded with the comments below. Meanwhile my online tracking status is still showing application with DMC.
Please what could probably be happening. @Cashmadam and other esteemed members of the forum. Kindly help with your advice.

Here's the message

Dear Bleep

Thank you for contacting UK Visas and Immigration International Contact Centre.

Our records indicate a decision has been made on your application. We cannot discuss the outcome of your application on-line or by telephone.

If your visa has been granted, a visa vignette (sticker) will be stuck inside your passport with 3 months validity (from the start of your visa) to travel.

You will be contacted by VFS/TLS when your passport is ready for collection, or delivery of your passport.

Please do not attend the VAC until you have been contacted as you won’t be able to collect your passport until it is ready.

We strongly recommend that you do not buy a non-refundable, non-flexible ticket to the UK, until your visa application has been approved and you have received your documents.

Please note the information given to you on the progress of an application is dependent on the details you provide, and we can only provide the progress updates based on the application reference number given.

We do not have access to specific case information and so progress updates could be subject to change. Please wait for formal contact or a decision letter before taking any further steps.

Funny enuff, even I would not accept it as a source of funds for a trip. It's an investment vehicle and liquidating an asset to fund a holiday seems ludicrous (but that can be argued though). There may have been other factors that would have led to the refusal.

Good day all.

Pla I need advise on what I can do.

I'm in the UK with my partner and our little baby. I'm on skilled worker visa with NHS which I'm allowed to bringing in Dependant.

Unfortunately I lost my mother in law in January this year and my wife had 3 siblings back home, I'm want to know if there is way to bring one of the siblings age 11year old as my Dependant. I don't mind of adopting or any other way I can bring her in. I spoke with their father and he has alreay give his consent.

How do you think I can bring her to 🇬🇧 next year.

Thank you.

U can’t.
Her father is alive
Also dependents are only one’s spouse or children. Your sister in law does not qualify under any of the above groups.
