Pesuzok: 6 months (if approved). |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 2 by Pesuzok(m): 1:19pm On Feb 08, 2015 |
Lexusgs430: Thank you for your response. I actually intend to stay for 14 days. But in my application i filled 30 days should in case i am not able to travel on the day i have in mind. This 30 days is now making the cost of hotel reservation so high up to 9,000 pounds. So should i change to 14 days in my application since i will be given 6 months from the date in intend to visit the UK. Thank you |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 2 by Lexusgs430: 1:28pm On Feb 08, 2015 |
Pesuzok: If approved, your 6 months would count from date of issue and not your intended departure date. £9000 for about a month? Is it the Dorchester you are looking to stay? Cheaper holidays abound, that would change about £60.00 a night (much cheaper if booked in advance). |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 2 by Pesuzok(m): 2:33pm On Feb 08, 2015 |
Lexusgs430: ok i get it. I am travelling with my family, and besides i dont intend staying in the hotel. I just choose one that i can get reservation easily online. If i apply now against travel date of august, and assuming i am given visa, will it start counting from now or from august. Thank you for the clarifications |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 2 by Lexusgs430: 3:14pm On Feb 08, 2015 |
Pesuzok: Best you apply about June, if your intended travel month is August. And use the intervening months to collate and organize your documentations. |

wow, it appears, the new rule is that some1 else cant collect ur passport/documents for you. It is not possible for a third party to collect the documents on behalf of an applicant, except in the following cases: A parent collecting for a dependent child. One member of a family group collecting the passports for the whole family, if applied together. Government Ministry representatives. Business Network company representative, approved by the British High Commission and the company’s authorized signatories with a letter of permission and a photograph |

NaGodwin: When you have such transaction in your account use the blank space in the form to explain it as an additional info. |

Hi JustWise My wife (we've been married for 2 months) intends to make a UK visa application to travel with me on Easter weekend. It's her first application. I have a 5 year visa, which I have used to travel once every year since 2012. it will expire 2017. 1) Does she need to have a leave letter from her office since good friday and Easter Monday are puplic holidays? 2) Would stating that she will spend 3 nights only in the UK sound suspicious to the ECO? 3) Given that it is a very short stay, would an account balance of N1.2 million satisfy the financial preparation requirement. I'm the one sponsoring. The main expense would be flight return ticket which will cost us about N300k (using Arik at least). We plan to stay with my sister who lives with her husband. 4) She started work October last year. They don't give payslips in her office. How best can she present her income situation? 5) What advise do you reckon will give her application higher chances of success? 6) Do they verify account statements submitted from the issuing banks? If 'yes', is the verification just for the authenticity, or are they concerned about whether the amount in the balance has changed? Thanks |

Hello house, is it a good idea to include Bank deposit slips in my General Visitor visa application? |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 2 by beibybookie: 4:33pm On Feb 09, 2015 |
Ladies and gents I silently followed for ages before applying just wanted to say thanks and I got my five year visit visa today. So for any unemployed graduates awaiting NYSC all hope is not lost, because I thought I had no chance at all. 1 Like |

@justwise after 42 days, my mum got this message UK Visas & Immigration has now assessed your UK visa application and made a decision. Your documents and the decision will be sent back to the either the UK Visa Application Centre where you applied, where we will contact you by email over the next few days to collect them, or if you are using the courier return service, will be sent directly back to the address you provided. Please note that Teleperformance does not know the outcome of the assessment and has played no role in the decision-making process. I hope this is not a refusal because i have heard people say they will say the visa is processed and ready for collection if they have granted the visa. Hope to read from you. Thanks |

dalobaba: Unfortunately one can not really say if she has been given or not until you collect your package. |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 2 by justwise(m): 5:56pm On Feb 09, 2015 |
Fredique: 1. Yes she does. 2. You could state one week and stay only 3 days if given visa. 3. That amount is not bad as long as you budget moderately. 4. If payment from her company goes straightway into her account then she will be fine. 6....if you are submitting a genuine bank statement then you should not be asking that question. |

Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 2 by Fredique(m): 6:15pm On Feb 09, 2015 |
justwise: The bank statement is official and genuine. However, the closing balance may not be the same if they verify amount, though not below what i intend to spend on the trip. That's why I asked. |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 2 by ulale: 12:28am On Feb 10, 2015 |
I'm yet to get response from my last post, please mr wise respond na, is it good idea to include bank deposit slips in UK General visitor visa application? |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 2 by justwise(m): 12:39am On Feb 10, 2015 |
ulale: I don't think it will make any difference, the source of that money will. |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 2 by justwise(m): 12:42am On Feb 10, 2015 |
Fredique: You will ruin your immigration record if you don't think carefully. |

Hello House please am a student on tier4 visa that started in september my mum and brother wants to come and see me by middle of this year, what do they need to do and what documents would they be needing? What do i need to do as well from my end Thanks in advance |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 2 by Vicjustice: 9:44am On Feb 10, 2015 |
mhoreh:Yet another one asking about documents |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 2 by blank(f): 10:56am On Feb 10, 2015 |
justwise: I think he means that he will spend out of the money in his account thus when they want to verify, the balance would be less. |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 2 by justwise(m): 11:50am On Feb 10, 2015 |
blank: Yes and that is misrepresentation, which means he lied about the amount available to him for the trip. |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 2 by mhoreh: 1:00pm On Feb 10, 2015 |
Vicjustice:is that supposed to be a bad thing, did you read the message at all |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 2 by TCann(m): 1:41pm On Feb 10, 2015 |
Fredique: You will not be penalised. Given: 1. You intend to budget your trip on N1million (out of your N1.2million) 2. You are applying in April for a trip in August and naturally you will spend out of the money in your account for usual daily living and other credit inflows will enter your account also, say from April to the August trip date (Salaries) Summary Be truthful about the genuineness of the amount in your account and submit a conservative budget for your visa application. You never can tell, you may be checked up at your bank! Dont spend below your trip budget line (i.e following our example, at least, 150k can be spent btw April and August with a corresponding inflows too btw that period, leaving N1,050,000 at every point in time in your account) The objective of the financial status check in the visa application is to ascertain that you have an healthy inflows and outflows of transactions on your account (indicating that you have the present ability to bankroll your trip) and also to ascertain that your bank account transactions are void of fraud or terrorism financing issues.(hence why they frown at unusually huge money lodgement that cant be explained) I hope this helps. |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 2 by shithapuns: 2:47pm On Feb 10, 2015 |
shithapuns: Ok. Picked up the visa tooday. My wife and i were succesful..thanks to the house for the tips @ poster asking about amount in the bank..i think the main thing is not withdrawing cash in the acct to below what you filled is available for the trip. .eg if u say trip will cost 500k..and u put 1m as amt available for the trip., n lets assume u have 4m in ur acct...i believe u can withdraw upto 1 or 2m from same acct..as total amount is still above what u stated is available for the trip |

Good afternoon @justwise, My brother was refused visa and was told he has limited right to appeal. He was given ten years ban because the date of arrival stamped here in MM airport is different from the official date recorded by the commission. However, we noticed that his old passport ( the one that contained a 6 month visa and two 2 year visa, all expired) was not returned. Only the renewed passport was returned. Here is my question, Do they have the right to withhold the passport. Thanks |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 2 by worry359(m): 4:40pm On Feb 10, 2015 |
hackerd: They have the right to hold any documents that they consider to be part of a fraud. What often happens is that the documents will be returned to Nigerian authorities for them to take further action. However at this stage many documents seem to get lost and can no longer be traced. |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 2 by justwise(m): 4:41pm On Feb 10, 2015 |
hackerd: The passport will be returned to Nigerian immigration |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 2 by hackerd: 4:59pm On Feb 10, 2015 |
Thanks do you think he can get it back. if so How can he get it? justwise: |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 2 by justwise(m): 5:17pm On Feb 10, 2015 |
hackerd: He needs to write the embassy first to know if it has been sent to the authorities, if yes then he has to visit the immigration office to request for it. Its up to them to decide whether to hand it over to him or not. |
