veecee29: Avoid money lodgement in its entirety except your can defend it with documents. It is even more delicate moving money in between accounts prior to application. |

veeveezu: Living cost for 9days in the UK at 35pounds is unrealistic UNLESS you claim you are staying with someone who will cover your transportation and feeding expenses. As a foreigner here you need atleast 35pounds to feed daily excluding transportation fee because you have to eat out all the time.Cost of accomodation 330 pounds for 9days isnt realistic also. I will advice you google some of this statistics on average living cost in London, etc. If you claiming to stay with someone that will ease you alot of financial requirement but other than that. If you are claiming to stay in the hotel,paying for your flight and all you will need to have excess of 1.5m naira in your account considering the effect of the recent exchange rate between pounds and naira. Most importantly, it is not convincing that you are looking to spend all of this money for a 9days visit and then fall back to Nigeria with very little account balance. email me on samuelakinbaleye at gmail or call plus four four seven four three two two five zero seven eight seven |

FrontPageLawyer: The truth is you not withdrawing anything from your account sends a RED FLAG. Because the truth is every one should spend out of thier salary UNLESS you are able to proof that you have another source of income ![]() If you have moved money between account then you MUST explain this in writing clearly and submit 6months statement of where the money was moved from to show that the money has been in that account for atleast 6months before you moved it to back up your claims. You not spending money from your salary is a RED FLAG unless you are able to defend it that you have another source of income. Account balance helps but defending the account balance is what UK would respect most. For example if you claim to have a job that pays 100k naira and you have been working for 2 years. Annually 100k monthly paying job will fetch you 1.2m annually and 2.4m in 2 years. If you submitting an account balance of 2.4m and claiming you dont spend your account they can pick up on that because who on earth earn salary and never touch it ![]() |

Lexusgs430: No visit visa is strictly for visit. you cant study .you need to apply for a different category of visa for short term study course |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 2 by FrontPageLawyer(m): 11:49am On Oct 07, 2015 |
shegsteperz: Thanks, but I was referring to lump sum which is always referred to as cash lodgement |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 2 by FrontPageLawyer(m): 12:08pm On Oct 07, 2015 |
shegsteperz: The £35 is not his expenses in the UK for 9days, from my understanding he was referring to the first question under "expenditure" 330£ is realistic if he can navigate and get cheap hotels. |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 2 by OGreene: 12:12pm On Oct 07, 2015 |
The £35 is average living cost in Nig, not UK. For UK, it's £170 poster put. True, the acct balance veeveezu mentioned is not that impressive, esp for someone dat has been denied already based on finances. He/she needs to have more than enof balance when applying again. For me, over a million is better. Tho nothing is impossible. You said "At least £35 to feed daily..."? Haba! Ontop wetin na ![]() Again, what is poster emailing/calling you for? ![]() shegsteperz: |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 2 by Lexusgs430: 1:47pm On Oct 07, 2015 |
shegsteperz: Hence I stated my points, imperatively!!! |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 2 by Nobody: 3:35pm On Oct 07, 2015 |
FrontPageLawyer: Monthly living cost after they ask for your salary monthly and all .. just think of a realistic amount because this people are trained on Nigeria economy and average living. If you are claiming to be tourist staying in an hotel without any relative here in the UK then yes you will spend about 30 to 35pounds daily remember you can't cook because you booked an hotel and not just a short let in a house. And also you being a tourist will want to move around and there is a charge on Oyster cards for transport unless you can prove you want to trek the whole of London to reduce your living cost lol ![]() If you are putting 330pounds for hotel for 9days then what is your proposed date of travel ![]() ![]() |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 2 by Nobody: 3:38pm On Oct 07, 2015 |
FrontPageLawyer: yeah lump sum .. impatient consular will hurry into a conclusion for money lodgement but i believe with a detailed explanation on why you have moved them from one account to another and proof of how long they have been there and there source (pay slip for example) then they should understand that in as much as you have proven the money in question belongs to you and has been with you for a long period. Both account belongs to you so i believe that is fine but show proof beyond doubts |

Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 2 by savemysoul: 11:19pm On Oct 07, 2015 |
Hello House kindly sort me out. I applied for UK visiting visa with hotel reservation; Lonsdale lodge to be precised and i was granted the visa after which i cancelled the reservation.now i need to be in UK later this month;so i had to make another hotel reservation with ibis Leyton London.I want to know if there will be no issue with this at the port of entry as i don't have anybody in UK but to stay in a hotel which was already mentioned on my application?. |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 2 by sqlerror: 1:55am On Oct 08, 2015 |
Hello Guys, pls i want to seek ur opinion on what you think could be wrong with visa appointment fee payment. I tried severally to make a payment for a friend but it didnt go through. I used my GTB debit card, i also used my capital one credit card but both payment were unsuccessful. Is it possible to make payment at the Bio-metric center? |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 2 by OGreene: 7:08am On Oct 08, 2015 |
There is no problem with that. I chose another hotel when I travelled. The ECO just checked to see that I indeed booked a hotel where am staying. If the ECO asks you, u can say u found out Ibis is a better hotel, better review or somethn sha, tho I don't tink they will ask. Again, if the time u stated in ur application is not the time u re travelling, then dats enof reason. Fret not ![]() As u re travelling alone and hv no one in the UK, the ECO will be very interested in why u re travelling alone and what u came to do, so have those places u want to visit in mind, since u re going for tourism. Be jovial, dey will ask u why didn't come wt someone to make d holiday more fun, u shud have a reason, don't cook up stories. In my own case, I told them my friend was supposed to apply when I was applying, but for some reason she didn't, and as d year is winding up, I have to go on vacation and can't carry my leave days till d next year. I even told dem not to worry, that I will be fine ![]() Later another one came up to me asking how I made d flight payment, I said bank-transfer. Those ppl eh, dey sha want to fish out something even when nothing dey. Pls don't be tense. savemysoul: |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 2 by OGreene: 7:09am On Oct 08, 2015 |
Credit card shudnt give any issues at all. Check that u hv activated the card. For ur GTB card, call the bank to assist you, simply! sqlerror: |

shakarababie: Sorry but it would be better to save your money. UKBA will expect an adult to pay their own expenses, not daddy! Also worst is no job / no ties to return home. |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 2 by Davdar: 8:44pm On Oct 08, 2015 |
Hello Justwise I need advice on a visa refusal. My husband got his passport today and he is been refused on the following grounds: We first met on 10/04/2012 and started the relationship in August 2012 and got married on 06/08/2014 We used calling cards as evidence of communication but the calling cards have no names and they aware that cards are readily available in Ghana to purchase as second hand. There is no itemised telephone records so they not satisfied. The photographs provided are of our wedding day with a few on different occasions. However it appears that these photographs were all taken during the same visit by your sponsor. So therefore am not satisfied. Furthermore there is no evidence that your sponsor has been to visit you after the marriage on August 2014. Am not satisfied that your relationship is genuine and subsisting or that you intend to live together permanently in the UK. Those are the reasons. Please advice me on what to do? Should I do the appeal or what? And If I do, and add extra supporting documents as I went to Ghana last month as a prove, do we have a chance ? Do I need to get a lawyer? Any suggestions on the platform will be appreciated. Thank you |

Hello Justwise, A friend of mine overstayed in the Uk for 7 years and during his stay here he had a son with a uk national. It's been three years since he voluntarily moved back to the south america as he hold a passport that doesn't need a visa to the UK. Now he's planning to come back to the UK to visit his son, will he have any problem entering? His child is a uk national as well and bear his surname. Thank you!!! |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 2 by Portsmouth86(f): 1:28am On Oct 09, 2015 |
justwise: Im going to Nigeria next week, would it be worth me taking a photocopy of the English certificate and hubby's TB certificate and put it with my file, should anything go missing. When hubby takes his originals to the appointment, after his online form is completed and printed, does the centre send these originals to Sheffield? thanks |
