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.

Theo51:
Please what was the outcome? Have you gotten a mail from TLS?

Elfavour:


I'm of the opinion they've made a decision on your application but since it was weekend and then the possible public holiday might have caused a delay in you receiving the mail. Because most people that receive the visa approval mail from UKVI, it's always dated like 2 days ago from when they actually receive it.

jegede20:
Do they now send approval email for a visit visa?

ChiefB:
Hello house,
My cousin got a mail asking him to come pick his passport but yet to get a decision mail from UKVI.
What could it possibly mean, a positive or negative decision, please we need advice.

Rach86:
Hi, please can a dependent (I mean someone with dependent resident permit status) send you an invitation or let's say who can send you an invitation from the UK and what are the necessary documents that the person will provide? And I asked a question before this and still waiting for answer, I'm very new here and that's my first question, this makes it the second. Thanks in advance.

Funtiwon:
It's positive. The letter will come after collection. It happened to me. Come back to give testimony when you get your good news. The very best and God bless

Cashmadam:


Let the person with BRP send the invitation. Copies of BRP and data page of passport should be provided.

Rach86:
Hi everyone and good evening, please I would like to enquire about something for a friend and your sincere responses will be appreciated. So here is it, not sure of the prescise year but that's like 13/14 years ago, an agent helped this my friend to apply for a UK tourist visa with her fiance then, so the agent told them that they should apply as a couple that is already married and with kids. So she got a passport in her fiance surname and the agent applied for them, as married with 2 children who are the children of her fiance sister but the visa was rejected on the ground that the funds available won't be sufficient for their stay in the UK. So now, she didn't marry the guy eventually and has changed her name on her passport. She want to apply to UK now just for tourist and the fear is the children that was listed in her application 13 years ago which is not hers. How will she go about and sort out all this complications please. Thanks in advance for beautiful souls that will help out a friend in distress.

giselle237:
13 years ago, there was already finger printing in the UK so definitely all of that misrepresentation and falsehood is on record.
The friend should go to another country for tourist visa as there are over 194 more.
Filling a new application means re-visiting all the elements of the past + more lies.

Rach86:
Thanks so so much ma'am, I appreciate your swift response. Okay, but is utility bills and statement of account of the person not needed as well. And yes this dependent has BRP as well.

Cashmadam:


You are welcome. Utility bills add no value. Statement of account only required if the person is a sponsor. Otherwise a simply invitation letter will do.

Cashmadam:


You know, the truth will set her free. She can apply and state the facts as they are. My guess is she will most likely get a refusal. However, the correct facts will now be in their system. With time (maybe after a couple of refusals), they may forgive her and give her the visa. I know two people with a similar situation and they eventually got their visas - after several attempts. Her past lies will haunt her for a while but if she is consistent with the truth and she has the financial capacity to finance her trip, she may eventually get the visa. It really depends on how desperate she is...If she is not ready for rejections, she should forget about the UK.

Funtiwon:
@Cashmaddam and esteemed members of the house. My dependant visa came out positive but the valid from date and valid until dates are just one day apart and both dates have even passed before notification to collect passport
What can I do to remedy the situation, please?

damkanlinsin:
Please who have tls number I can call or the UK embassy number I call to know where my passport is since 5 month from now

Cashmadam:


Money Market Fund is savings / investment. Not an asset. It is easy to liquidate and convert to cash.

There were other reasons - the visa officer just decided to add the MMF angle as a reason for refusal.

R3gina:
Hi, I live & work in the UK. I want to invite my mum & will be the sole sponsor of the trip, do I need to include her account statement in the application? She doesn’t work & only receives pension as she’s retired.

jegede20:
Biometric done @ Enugu TLScontact on September 04, 2024.
Got an email that my application arrived DMC Sept 09, 2024
Today, Sept 17, 2024, got email from TLScontact that passport is ready and has been mailed to me.

Applied for 2years visa, my first 6months visa to UK expired July, 2024.

Funtiwon:
It is for my dependant - student dependant. The main applicant already has a visa successfully approved and issued. The TLC branch is Abuja

Jamieabi:
You mean there was a mistake in your visa vignette concerning the dates

Funtiwon:
Yes, please.
