@ All
Hello,
Please I am trying to sponsor my husband to the UK, just need to confirm what I need to gather
1. I was told that I need a 12 months payslip, is this true?
2. If my husband has got a business in Nigeria which he barely started 6 months ago, does he need to provide a tax clearance or I should not get it complicated by putting on the letter that he's got a business? He doesn't pay any tax, so I was wondering if I should risk it by putting on the letter that he's got a business, cos I don't want the situation that the people will be asking that since he's not working or something, he's being refused entry
3. Regarding the phone calls, I called lebara to try and get like around a year call history, when I went online, I was only able to print out 2months, is that sufficient or how can I print out a year call history?
4. Do you suggest I involve a lawyer to help me with the application?
5. What copy of passport do I need to provide, British or nigerian?
6. Lastly, the documents I have at the moment are, English test, Yellow fever and tuberculosis test (for my husband), but for me I have marriage cert, bank statement of 6 months, payslip of 6 months, letter of invitation, Passport photograph, wedding pictures and old days pictures, proof of address, proof of employment, tenancy agreement, council tax info
Is there any other information I need?

Please guys I need a honest suggestion and advise. Do feel free to ask me any question.
Thanks in advance

@vicjustice, justwise and the rest of the gurus. My friend and I have decided to forego reapplying for a UK visa and just apply for a Schengen visa via the German embassy. Would our 2 refusals to the UK affect our chances from getting a Schengen visa? My conditions when applying are the following (1) 6 months Salary account with a closing balance of 1M (2) 5 month savings account with a closing balance of another 1M (3) good travel history (been to several countries i.e. Maldives, Morroco, UAE, Thailand) (4) main reason to go is to attend the Oktoberfest in Munich (5) will obtain salary certificate, approved leave form and other documents from employer. Do you think we stand a good chance to be given a Schengen visa albeit the UK refusals? Thanks in advance!

Thank you worry357 and vicjustice for the honest reply. My first reason of refusal was submitting only my salary account with 0 balance as I thought they were only concern that salary was coming in. I did not submit my savings account then. In my second refusal, they found an unexplained deposit in my savings account (which was an honest mistake). I will try to negate this factor by submitting only my salary account this time. My question is, should I explain to the German embassy the reasons for my refusal to the UK? Will it help or will it sound desperate? Many thanks!

my hotel reservation got cancelled while my application(renewal) is still being reviewed...i have now booked a new appointment with a new reservation number and emailed it to the lagos british consular office email with my application number quoted, i hope this wont raise any red flags?

worry357:


The usual problem is that people make an on line hotel booking
but after a certain time if the booking is not paid then the hotel cancells it.
(They are getting unhappy with bookings not being completed.)
When visa office checks there is no booking so you get rejection.

Hi guys, I have bn going through the comments on here and i must say that you guys are superb. I need you guys to help me with this, I was denied UK visa last year August cos the VO felt he was not convinced that I can sustain myself while in Uk and that I will return home after the visit that was sponsored by my employer. Then my salary was not fantastic, shortly after that refusal I was promoted to Head of Foreign Trade Unit of my company with basic salary of 150,000, official car, 10k recharge card monthly, free Accommodation and other freebies. Fast forward to 2015, I was given shengen business visa and in March I visited Italy, France and Germany on official assignment to negotiate for machineries, but my passport was only stamped in and out in Frankfurt. Now a company in UK is manufacturing Machines for us in Kent, and the company has mandated me to go to UK to see these machines as Head of Foreign Trade. My question is what are my chances? The UK company has sent IV letter to my company. I have so many heavy transactions/transfer in my personal account bn payment for personal runs I'm doing aside the company to make hustle pay. My company has a policy of giving managerial position salary through issuance of cheque and not payment into a particular account. How do I explain this in my application? I also help some companies in China to source for customers in Nigeria, and they have paid me 1000usd, 975usd and 800usd as my commission in the last few months. I also work as a consultant with a firm in Abuja here, and they pay me per hour, at times I get 50k in a month,a times 60k etc. can I add this information considering it is an official assignment? I equally have a salon that I opened before I applied last year, but it just started bringing good money, even though salon is registered but no account for the salon, I use my personal account presently. I'm married with a kid, and my wife works with PWC. Kindly advice please on how to go about this. Thanks in advance

The Gurus in the house, your guide is humbly solicited on my application. I was refused U.K visa in 2013. My cousin who is a Briton invited me. All my papers were genuine but was refused on the basis that I did not explain the basis of some fund I deposited in my account towards filling that application. I earn 100k per month. I was investing on housing project then so money don't really stay in my account until towards the filling of the application.

I was given an appeal option but did not bother to appeal because my leave would have lapsed by the time the visa would be given.

Now, my office is sponsoring two Of us to a (5 days conference, all expenses paid by the office including, conference fee, hotel with DTA of 300USDollar per day. My question now is that

1. Are we to put our documents together in one envelope. All payments were made by the office with single receipts with our names jointly written on them for the conference and Hotel.

2. We have combined reference letter from the office.

3. We have single office Bank Statement.
4. Do we need to include photographs of official engagements, group photographs with VIP's we work with.
5. Do we have to include other personal documents (for a married man like me with kids)
6. I have personal savings account apart from my salary account though I do not have much balance in it but huge amount of money comes in and out often for supply business I does.

Please, I need your guide. God bless as you take your time to help.
