These visa officers can be quite strange, to be honest. I reached out to my bank, and they informed me that they cannot provide a letter explaining the transaction reversals. However, they can issue a reference letter stating that I have been a reliable customer with a good banking relationship for a specified period. Since the transaction reversals of 55,000 Naira and 8,000 Naira are small relative to my monthly salary inflows of 800k+, I will just explain the transaction reversals in my cover letter, attributing them to failed transactions, and attach the reference letter along with my salary account statements. If my application is still rejected after this, I’ll be convinced that these visa officers are mentally ill. Jolene474: |

How much money are you personally planning to spend on your visit to the UK? Please, what should I fill here for my mom's application? My kid bro is inviting her over and is sponsoring her fully. Since the question says personally, should I put the estimated cost of trip which in this case is £2000 or £1, since she won't be paying a kobo of hers. Please help my people |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 5 by CornOak(m): 12:42pm On Jan 08 |
Castro9371: £1. Input the £2,000 in the section that ask if anyone is paying towards her visit. Good luck. 1 Like |

Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 5 by Castro9371: 4:03pm On Jan 08 |
Please, is there any need to submit her bank statement? I stated she's a petty trader and farmer and makes 820k yearly however. And also depends on the monthly allowance we the children send to her of about 120k..and her monthly spending is 65k |

Is it mandatory to submit a Tax Clearance Certificate (TCC) for a Schengen visa application? Does not providing a Tax Clearance Certificate (TCC) affect visa approval? |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 5 by CornOak(m): 5:41pm On Jan 08 |
Castro9371: No matter how low the transaction volume on her account may be, please ensure you submit her bank statement and explain any inconsistencies. Don't give them any reason to refuse the application. |

Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 5 by Nysckits: 10:11pm On Jan 08 |
davechuks1234:Up until this moment, there’s still no update from them. I haven’t received any email, and my dashboard on the VSF site still shows ‘no decision made yet. I’m staying hopeful and holding on to the belief that the delay might be a positive sign for a successful outcome. Rejections or denials usually don’t take this long. It’s almost a month now(29 days to be precise)since I did my biometrics on December 10, 2024 |

Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 5 by b31164707: 9:44am On Jan 09 |
Good morning, and my sincere apologies for this refusal. Could you kindly explain how you calculated the average monthly expenditure reported in your application?? I understand that expenses can vary from month to month, but one approach could have been to add your expenses over the past three months and then divide the total by three. You could have also mentioned this method in the 'Additional Information' section of the application to clarify how the reported monthly expenditure was determined. Secondly, apart from your salary, did you thoroughly explain the additional inflows received within this 3-month period in a cover letter? Please note that all inflows apart from your salary must be clearly explained in a cover letter, so the visa officer doesn't incorrectly assume that the inflows were fraudulently obtained. If some of these inflows were due to transaction reversals, which is quite common in Nigeria, this should also be explained while stating that your bank can be contacted for verification purposes.

Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 5 by Essential01: 9:49am On Jan 09 |
b31164707:This is the spending in 3 months. December: 627,684.29 November: 1,247,637.08 October: 432,104.23 September: 470,545.84 How ever since salary is 143k, we thought to use amount less than salary |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 5 by b31164707: 9:57am On Jan 09 |
Ah, I see where the mistake came from. You should've added your expenses over the four-month period provided and divided the total by four, then mentioned this in the 'Additional Information' section of the application to clarify how the reported monthly expenditure was determined. Secondly, apart from your salary, did you thoroughly explain the additional inflows received within this period in a cover letter? Were these additional inflows bonuses/allowances from your employer? How can you have inflows of over 2 million Naira within a 3-month period and not explain the source of these inflows? Please note that all inflows apart from your salary must be clearly explained in a cover letter, so the visa officer doesn't incorrectly assume that the inflows were fraudulently obtained. If some of these inflows were due to transaction reversals, which is quite common in Nigeria, this should also be explained while stating that your bank can be contacted for verification purposes.

Castro9371: Wify(sponsor): 1). BRP 2). Proof of accomodation (tenancy agreement) 3). Proof of r/ship with the person(pictures and birth certificate. 4). 3 months bank statement (Just salaries as inflow). £4k bank balance. Budget for the trip was around £1.5k 5) employment letter. 6). Letter of sponsorship and invitation. 7). International Passport Mother in law: 1). Employment letter and retirement letter 2). Cover letter 3) International Passport. 5). Bank statement of around N100k balance with lots of irregular inflows. I guess ECOs are not strict on this when it involves a retired and aged applicant 2 Likes |

Please can someone help with this information. It's seems the information on the UKVI website isn't updated. xeroxy: |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 5 by Jolene474(f): 8:09pm On Jan 09 |
My reapplication has taken more about 4 weeks now. They just sent me this email today after sending me an email on the 23rd of December that my application has arrived their office, it’s now taking them like 2 weeks to even start considering it. I think there’s a huge load on them, so if your application is delayed, just be patient. Funny enough I don’t even need this UK visa again, I already got an E-Visa to visit South Africa. 🇿🇦 They should do their review and return my passport.
