No, not needed as she doesn't work or own a business.

Thank you for your response. The company has a good turnover of at least 5m naira monthly, cost of training 120,000 naira per person (5 persons going for the training) and each employee is to be receiving 200,000 naira monthly. Hoping for further response.

Ok, the salary structure needs to be explained in details using the additional information section, your company need to include tax certificate as well as company's bank statement. Details of the training program in the UK need to be submitted including the company in the UK giving the training.

Hello Everyone.

My parents applied for a family visit visa to visit a family member to see their grand daughter... when submitting the support documents they forgot to add the hotel booking and air travel documents even though they listed it in the application letter... Is there anyway to get these documents to be added maybe via email or something. What would be advised as this seems to be the only gray area in their application.

Thanks.

NB: The appointment was today.

Hmmm! My dear we are in the same page. I was refused on the 26th of November and I reapplied and submitted on the 5th of this month. I received a survey email from UKVI last night and that is all oooo. Nothing else, I am still waiting and praying that my visa will be granted this time around.

Re-applying that soon just makes you look desparate which is a red flag.
It would have been better to wait and improve your situation.

1. Family visiting visa.

2. It will help if you can get one.

3. Yes submit all your tax receipts

4. Submit your land receipt, did you sign contact with the builder?

5. You need an IV from your mother, breakdown of how much the trip will cost you, list of things you tend to do in the UK. Remember to keep your budget as reasonable and realistic as possible, avoid budgeting far more than you make within two months...unless money is an issue.

Obviously that is a reasonable concern but if your company is in a good financial health, well organised and the company in the UK offering the training is not a dodgy one (not registered, not well established, own by African, Asian, Eastern European.etc) then their chances of getting a visa is higher, it will not be seen as a way of running away from Nigeria using the training as a cover up.

Hey guys @justwise @Vicjustice . My brother just collected my Documents and it's rejected. I saw it coming though so....Btw my husband is so worried about it and he said we should re - apply. I told him we not going to do that till I get advice from you guys.lol I haven't seen the rejection letter yet but my brother told me they raise issues bout me not having strong ties to Nigeria plus my husbands bank statement plus they think he doesn't earn enough (£700) to take care of me for 5 months while I'm there blah blah. After all he stated in his later that he was doing part time job before but he is now working full time and he earns around£1400. And btw @Vicjustice they didn't say anything that shows they doubt our marriage. Nways now the thing is I have 2 plots of land in my name which was given to me by my dad, and I live in a rented property which was rented for me and in my name for 2 years starting July this year. Do u think that can be a strong tie even though I do not work? And do you think having £5000 pounds in my husbands account will be enuff? And because my husband lives with his parents in London, do you think we should include his dad's bank statement since he is providing accommodation for me while I'm there. And since I do not work, do I have to provide my own bank statement?

The two plots of land would be described as properties that stand in isolation, therefore, they do not represent tie.
Your joblessness wouldn't have been a problem had it been that the conditions of your husband's employment and his financial state is satisfying.
You are not required to provide your father in-law's bank statement even if he is accommodating you, yet, it is not a bad idea for your father in-law to get involved, but then, this will discredit your own husband and the application may be subjected to more questions especially if your father in-law is not very financially comfortable.

Thank you. My father in-law is a Doctor and doing very okay. But as u said i think we shud keep him out of it. So now that my husband works full time and earns £1400, and he will have at least £5000 or more in his account when we apply next month, do u think that will be enuff? And again do you think it's worth applying again or? I need ur advice pls.

Here are the issues raised by the ECO
1. On the basis of evidence provided, you appear to have no dependent relatives and little in the way of personal income or assets in your own country.
2. Your spouse’s 31 October – 30 November 2014 bank statement shows periods of low balances and is overdrawn in a number of occasions. It is clear that funds in this account are subject to financial commitments. I am therefore not satisfied that his finances are as comfortable as you state or that funds held in this account are available for the purpose of your proposed visit.
3. In light of all the above I consider that you have failed to show sufficiently strong family, social or economic ties to satisfy me, on the balance of probabilities, that you intend to live the United Kingdom on completion of a short visit. Therefore, on the balance of probabilities, I am not satisfied that you will be maintained and accommodated in the UK without working or having recourse to public funds or are able to meet the cost of return or onward journey.
