Hello house. Please long does dependents visa from Nigeria typically takes after biometrics? #Ikeja or VI My wife just got her COS with NHS and got her visa approved within 8 hours of application. I'm currently in the UK with her, on a visitor's visa but I plan coming to Nigeria for my biometrics appointments. |

Jolene474:It is not about huge load, your case requires more time as they have said - seeing your refusals in the last 1 month, the complaints review process and now a fresh application. Same applicant. |

adebabs21: Where did you do your biometrics? Ikeja or VI or Abuja and did you pay for Priority or Super priority service? |

Can I pick up my passport on Saturday? |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 5 by Femolapasta01: 6:55pm On Jan 10 |
adebabs21: What documents did you upload for your biometrics? I have my visa application done but yet to book biometrics appointment, and I was only asked to show proof of financial maintenance and the proof immigration status of my wife. I don't know if marriage proofs, like marriage certificates, photos, are necessary since they didn't ask. |

b31164707: Budget: £1.5k just for flights and miscellaneous. Duration: 2 months Will stay in daughter's house |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 5 by b31164707: 10:21pm On Jan 10 |
Alright, cool. I'm planning to budget like £1,132 for a week (including flights and excluding accommodation). It might seem like a lot just for one week, but one of the cheapest round-trip flights from Lagos to London is like £632 (approx. 1.2 million Naira) on Kenya Airways, then budgeting about £500 for living expenses for one week, which should be reasonable. To be honest, if flights weren't this pricey, there's no way I'd be planning to spend slightly more than £1,000 just to visit London for a week. cbn4main: |

Hello house! Please I have been a silent reader Applied for a visit visa for my mum and I just got this tonight and I feel so down,please how what can I do to get a positive response,I plan on applying again Thank you for your response🙏

Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 5 by Femolapasta01: 2:38am On Jan 11 |
Wunumy: Sorry about the disappointment. In my opinion, the application wasn't denied due to insufficient proof of funds but the discrepancies in her nature of business/trade vs statement of account. I feel you should have just stated that she is unemployed instead, and that she depends on you and perhaps other family members. I think that would have sufficed. It will be nice to hear from those who have been in this kind of situation before for proper guidance on how to reapply. Cheers! |

Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 5 by cbn4main: 1:06pm On Jan 11 |
Wunumy: Sorry for the refusal. The first red flag I can see here is the budget of over £5k for a less than 1 month visit. Omo, it is too much oo. It connotes desperation and raises an eyebrow as to the importance of the travel given her paltry annual income as a petty trader and expenses. My MIL's budget for a 2 month visit was just £1.5k. Another factor is age. If your mum is in her 50s or less, ECOs tend to scrutinise such applications heavily and pick minor things and hold them against the applocant. So one needs to be extremely careful in making an application for such person. Lastly, just like someone said. It would have been safe to say she was unemployed and safe yourself the stress of explaining. Lastly, try and get a letters of consent from Dad and family members in Nigeria as home ties to backup her application. 2 Likes |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 5 by Wunumy: 1:54pm On Jan 11 |
Thank you so much for your response We just felt since we were fully sponsoring her,we needed to put something a little high and that’s why we added the £5k, she’s in her late 50s, we added consent letter from my dad and also stated that my siblings are in Nigeria too,we added our family pics too I just felt the mistake we made was stating she’s a petty trader,we would have just said unemployed to avoid all this issues, Just confused about how best to apply again in other not to get a another refusal 1 Like |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 5 by Chudycharles: 2:18pm On Jan 11 |
Please I need an advice on the following please and your input here will be really appreciated. My mum, had visited last time on a 6months visa and I want to apply this time for 2years. My questions.. 1. I want to now say she is unemployed and we are supporting her but the last time we applied that she was self employed. How do I go about wording it, in her cover letter or letter of introduction.. 2. She visited our GP about twice when she was not feeling well, she also got registered and had her NHS number. Do I declare it and what impact do you sense it will have in the application. Your response will truly go a long way.. God bless us all. Thanks |

Good afternoon everyone, happy new year. Please I have a question regarding the selfsponsorship route for nurses to UK. When gathering documents for visitor visa application, will the applicant need to have a lot of money in her account bearing in mind that there is a sponsor in the UK with good bank statement and accommodation? Thanks for your response. |

Good evening, I'm in need assistance with booking a medical appointment through the IOM website. Initially, I made an error in my date of birth (Their website did actually, added a day to my DOB), so I promptly cancelled the appointment. However, when I attempted to rebook, I received an error message stating that I already have an appointment scheduled. Can I visit IOM Office on Monday to book? |
