You can do 20hour/week extra asides ur main job in care or support or health related field nau. And u apply for ihs refund.

But since u r not even on health visa it means u work a good job so the ihs money should be small money to u na 😂😂 one month of ur salary has covered the expense.

Good day everyone,

Please I need opinion and recommendations in reapplying for visit visa for my wife sister.

She is employed full time and have a business on the side( not registered) that gives around 1m monthly income but that was not added in the first application.
The ECO wasn't satisfied that she works with the state government even after providing employment details and all relevant documents including her salary bank statement.

I need help in reapplying again for her as my wife is off work due to medical condition and I need some help for childcare to aid her recovery.

I have attached the refusal letter for advise and opinion please.
Regards

All these over explanation dey cause issues.
Submit your documents , if they need verification of source of inflow , they will ask.

Someone working for government wants to come to UK to do what?

She has a reason to come to UK whether she's working or not just back it up with documents necessary.

Example my wife works I didnt tell UKVI about it, and didn't submit any document to that effect.

donplus1:

I guess you didn't see the refusal letter attached to the post.
The application was refused based on the premise that they are not convinced she is un full-time employment and not satisfied with her employment/ financial circumstance. They did not do any verification or request for additional documents.

Addressing the reason for refusal is why I'm seeking opinions as I don't really know what else to add to proof home ties and ensure she get approved this time around. These ECO can be funny sometimes and it's kind of annoying.

Thanks for your input

The SOA you submitted is the only problem. Make sure all what you have stated in the application reflects in the statement. EG, the salary must be the same, the monthly expenditure must be the same. If the side work is the reason for the excess inflow and outflow, state that she has additional income in your application and explain this in your cover letter.

Thanks for your input bro

Sorry i missed ur earlier response

You might be right but not completely
(1) spending 4 days to sightsee in another country is not a big deal. Besides the agent is lazy its 7days not four days. Rich kids go to usa uk for a week and return its not a big deal. People go abroad for confrences of 2-3days. Its not against the rule that the duration of ur stay will determine ur desicion. I concur

(2) if the adult does not have enough money is it bad if a rich dad sponsors his child to go have fun? Applicant upload statement where her salary comes in, agent can see that she is gainfully employed, dads committment is just extra financial push which to me is not a bad thing. The agent doesnt have issues with that because they know parents can sponsor thier child(ren). Its not against the rule that a parent cannot sponsor a child. True. I've sponsored my adult child a few times successfully

(3) there is no rule in ukvi that says if you cannot sponsor yourself then you must not apply. All you have to show is if that sponsor is capable of sponsoring you. True

(4) the paid hotel shows accommodation not home ties. We all know accommodation is a determinant for decision. I never said the hotel is an home tie. You will be asked where you will be staying during ur course of visit, which is where the hotel comes in. They really don't care about your accomodation. It adds no value to your visa application.

(5) lol, have i said 2.1m means they will come back. I dont understand ur statement in number 5 lol.

(6) no birth cert now you have a point. Birth cert is avail but i assumed that agent should be able to determine relationship with ID card i accept that is a flaw on my side. Birth Certificate is actually essential

(7) lol remark only shows the true nature of why the money was paid not to proof they will come back. That lodgement was not necessary. The Father should have just provided his statement of account and written a sponsorship letter for his daughter.


Now as for the come back you kept emphasising. Work approval letter for leave shows the date approved by applicants employer stating when leave is granted and when she need to resume was uploaded. This is a solid home tie amongst other examples of home ties. Again, they really don't care about leave approval etc. I've never asked for or used leave approval for any visa. However work approval of leave letter was the only home tie i uploaded. Does not add value. You need to provide proof of home ties like investments, property, spouse, children, aged parent etc

I will be reapplying again. I will share the outcome with you. Good luck!

See SOA is always the problem, attach your documents including the SOA and attach your letter of invitation as cover letter and state the reason for the visit, dont explain transactions you will open your ass. UK cherish mental health more than anything, give them a good reason to tremble, if you need help to write a captivating cover letter, you can reach out for free!.

Hey everyone, hope you’re all doing well at any time you come across this!

I need some advice on something that’s been on my mind.
I already have a BSc from Nigeria, but the course I studied doesn’t really give me many options for a master’s degree. So, to improve my chances for further studies and better job opportunities, I applied to some UK universities and got three offers—one for a final-year entry and two for top-up degrees.

But I heard from someone that since I already have a BSc, my student visa will be refused because the UK only approves visas for students showing “academic progression.”

How true is this? Will doing a top-up or final-year entry BSc affect my chances of getting the visa?

Would really appreciate any advice or personal experiences. Thanks in advance! 🙏

MsAnonymous:
Pls I got a mail that a decision has been taken on my visa, how do I know which decision? or it it until I go and get the passport back?

If u do not see a refusal letter enclosed in pdf then it means ur application has been granted

eniola1010:


(1) i am glad we concur to 1

(2) i am glad we concur to that too

(3) i am glad we concur to that as well

(4) my sister are you truly sure they do not care about where you will be resting your head during the course of ur visit? So why do they ask during filling the application where you will be staying? And why is there a dedicated dropbox on the vfs website for accommodation.

Believe me or not my sister, a friend has been denied on basis of accommodation, not because he does not have accommodation, he put his brother address - and it was a uni accommodation - but because the eco says the uni acom is not allowed that two people should live in one room.

(5)

(6) yes that was my biggest flaw. A costly mistake.

(7) hmmm are you sure the lodgement was not necessary?
Remember the eco kept saying he is not sure if the father will sponsor the applicant. If he has seen that the father has actually paid the money, do you think the eco will still say this.
I do apply for visas a lot. Like a lot.
My own sister was coming to see me 3years ago. She owns a company. The pof was in her company acc. Mind you she is the owner of the company o.
We uploaded company cac, company statement to show her company has money,
Do you believe she was denied.
The eco says she is distinct from her company. That what if other directors do not agree that the company should pull the money out.

Which truly makes sense to me. People may write letter that they will sponsor you blah blah blah. They can choose to switch off their phones when you reach uk. They can choose to not answer you anymore when you reach uk. You then become a destitute littering the street of uk which the eco wre trying to avoid.

This is why all other visa i apply for, i make sure the sponsor make the payment into the beneficiary account, this way, the sponsor has already upfront fulfilled their obligation.

Well, like you said it is not necessary, but based on my past experience, TO ME IT IS NECESSARY.

Because a sponsor says they will sponsor you doesnt mean they cannot change their mind at the last minute. We have seen people stranded in uk saying their sponsor said they are going thru financial difficulties. Did u think those sponsors did not upload bank statement?


(8..) my sister, two truth can exist. Because you have not used leave approval before does not mean it is not a viable home tie.
There are different home ties and no one supersedes the other.
Home tie is literally home tie.
A leave approval simply means “go but come back to resume your work on so so so date”
So i dont know how that is not an home tie.
The eco himself says i did not upload “substantial”

Sustantial does not mean invalid, it means insufficient.

It means the eco needed more home ties, it does not mean that the leave approval i uploaded is not an home tie, it simply means more home ties should be uploaded.
