Sholz200:you don't have to know somebody in any country before you visit that country. My first US visa was approved in 2004 on a virgin passport and I told the VO I didn't know anybody in America when he asked me but I presented a booked hotel accommodation which indicated my duration of stay. Same with UK and other countries I had stamped my feet on. If your bank statement is the same, into which your salary account is being paid, please present it. It's part of mandatory documents . This is a proof that you're an employee in that company, even though it reads NIL balance. The said account MUST contain traceable monthly salary you claim you earn on the application form you're going to fill...they MUST correlate. If you have personal income tax credits(receipts) please include it. In addition to the normal letter of introduction you address to ECO ,tell your boss to prepare a BOARD RESOLUTION and indicate in it that you're going for a vacation and you'll return upon your holiday. Additionally, he should state in the board resolution that an xyz amount will be made available, (apart from your flight tickets) as your PTA during your stay once the visa is approved. 2000GBP should be enough for a 7-day vacation. Also state that the amount doesn't have to be fully spent by you and every receipt of your miscellaneous expenses must be presented upon your return for reconciliation to the accountant. Book a hotel with the cheapest rate. (Go to booking.com). As an employee, tell your boss to prepare a BOND which will indicate that you're under an employment with that company and are not meant to leave in the next xyz years, stating the legal implications in case you leave(please Google a sample of a bond for a guide). At the end of the Bond, ensure a company seal is engraved on it, same with the board resolution, which at least 2 shareholders will sign. Please note...the board resolution should be addressed to the ECO while the bond will be addressed to you by your boss. The ECO wants to be satisfied that your ties to your country is very strong and without doubts(marriage certificates, kids birth certificates, your tenancy agreement with your landlord, copies of bank tellers of the rents paid each year, if available...etc would help). Visit the uk embassy website for more required documents. 1 Like |

shaybebaby: Now that would be cool ... although the stories I've been reading here have been quite scary o. They actually deny tourist visa to people despite having the required documents?? Crazy. I'll keep you updated dear. |

This is the time she used the business in her application. Business name was registered in Dec 2012. She hasnt travelled to the UK for about 6 years. She was a frequent traveler to the UK between 2004 and 2010. She and my dad used to apply together. justwise: |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by phardey: 9:14am On May 24, 2016 |
Thank so much for this info. She already did an affidavit and it was in the Ikeja high court with the pink sticker. The ECO did say she verified with CAC but who knows who is lieing. Any Government in Nigeria is just wrong. I spend about N40,000 to get a letter from CAC stating The business was indeed registered in her name. The official price for this is N10,000 but God knows. I will fight till the ban is removed because she didn't misrepresent herself. Poor woman is just weak and tired and said she wishes she isnt going through all this stress. imperialebony: |

phardey: Ok, you can write the embassy with the document but make sure that the document is genuine since the embassy contact the same organization and was told that your mum is not the business owner. Is the case of proving that she owns the business if that is the only reason for refusal |

Sholz200: I will be surprised if you are given a visa because your tie to Nigeria is very weak and its hard to justify why your boss will be sponsoring you for holiday to the UK. 1 Like |

Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by phardey: 11:22am On May 24, 2016 |
The CAC Business name is trully hers. We got a CAC letter to confirm this. I don't just understand Nigeria. Its bad. Now, I had to pay extra for Ikeja TLS because there are no appointments in VI till 6th of June. I pray it ends in praise. It made me very sad. i've spend around £500 on a 6 months visit visa! its sad. askari01: |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by phardey: 11:49am On May 24, 2016 |
Are you saying she shouldn't reapply. Because I just applied and submitted now. She's meant to go for her appointment on thursday in Ikeja I'm not sure the ECO contacted them. Government workers in Nigeria are known for their Laziness. justwise: |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by mamaileri: 3:04pm On May 24, 2016 |
Hello everyone, I submitted my visit visa since 12th of May and am yet to get any response from them, I submitted in Ikeja office because i was told they take decision faster here, please has anyone else had this issue. |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by Nobody: 3:45pm On May 24, 2016 |
mamaileri:Actually, it takes them between 3 and 15 working days to conclude their assessment of an application (depending on your case and documents submitted alongside your application). By my calculation, today makes it the 9th day since your application was submitted. It's still in order. |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by mamaileri: 4:43pm On May 24, 2016 |
imperialebony: thanks for the response @imperialebony, am just a bit worried cos i know about four people that submitted in ikeja and it took like just a week. Is it possible they forgot to mail me? Can i just go to their TLS office to check without receiving a notification. |

I just received a refusal letter today for short term student visitor visa(6 month). i actually applied for summer school @ King's College London to study Ancient Greek Language(Coz its Cheaper) To start with, I am a level 300 Student studying Economics with computing. The ECO start reasons for my refusal; 1; You have stated you are a non working student at Regent University. I NOTED THAT U HAVE SUBMITTED EVIDENCE OF YOUR STUDIES AND A LETTER FROM YOUR UNIVERSITY STATING THAT YOU ARE A 300 LEVEL STUDENT ON THEIR BSC DEGREE ECONOMICS; I AM NOT SATISFIED THAT THE DOCUMENTS SUBMITTED DEMONSTRATE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN YOUR CHOSEN COURSE IN ANCIENT GREEK LANGUAGE AND YOUR CURRENT COURSE IN ECONOMICS. 2. YOU HAVE ALSO STATED THAT YOUR TRIP WILL BE SPONSORED BY YOUR LEGAL GUARDIANS WHO HAVE BEEEN TAKING CARE OF YOU. YOU HAVE SUBMITTED A LETTER OF SUPPORT FROM *HUSBAND&WIFE(MY GUARDIAN) WITH A BANK STATEMENT IN THEIR NAME. I AM NOT SATISFIED THAT THE DOCUMENTS SUBMITTED ADEQUATELY DEMONSTRATED THAT THEY HAVE ANY LEGAL GUARDIANSHIP OVER YOU, NOR DO THEY DEMONSTRATE THE ORIGIN OF THE FUNDS IN THEIR ACCOUNT. I AM THEREFORE NOT SATISTFIED THEY THEY ARE FOR YOUR EXCLUSIVE USE OR THAT YOU HAVE ADEQUATELY DEMONSTRATED YOUR CIRCUMSTANCES. I AM THEREFORE NOT SATISFIED THAT YOU MEET PARAGRAPH A57C(b) of the migration rules. FUTURE APPLICATION Any future UK ViSa applications you make will be considered on their individual merits, however you are likely to be refused unless the circumstance of your application change.

phardey: I'm not saying you should not reapply but you need to be absolutely sure that the document your lawyer CAC is genuine. If at all the embassy contacted them concerning the business then they must have had a reasonable doubt about it. |

Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by Nobody: 7:43pm On May 24, 2016 |
mamaileri:Do not fret, they will email you once they're done with your application. You can only resort to going to TLS if you have not heard from them ( TLS) 48 hours after the British Embassy had first sent you their generic email...that a decision has been made on your visa application. Like I also mentioned earlier, applicants' cases are not the same. There are also different ECOs assigned to different applicants. Just relax and be positive,ok? |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by worry359(m): 7:47pm On May 24, 2016 |
Question1:Well first off to be honest! No one will understand why a Nigerian would want to spend money to study ancient Greek! It looks just like a back door to get a visa to work illegally. Then there is no reason for the people to sponsor you, no family relationship. Also the bank statements were weak and did not show source of funds. Re-applying without making MAJOR changes to these details is just a waste of money. Also you look desperate for the visa which in itself is a BIG red flag. You are making many mistakes. 2 Likes |

Question1: Na waoo for you ooo.... You are currently studying economics and computing and you are applying to study Ancient Greek in London? How do they relate? You are using a sponsor as your legal guardian without legal paper to prove that? 1 Like |

Question1: Don't waste your time and money dear. If you reapply now with a different course they would see you as desperate and red flag you. Contact the school for a refund on tuition fees. Maybe wait and in your final year you can apply to go for a simple holiday. My 2 cents. 1 Like |

Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by worry359(m): 9:10pm On May 24, 2016 |
Question1: Sorry but you just do not understand! Changing your course like that just makes you look desperate to travel. The VO will look at this and consider you a potential over stayer looking to work. You need to forget this for a while now unless you have money to throw away. |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by justwise(m): 9:28pm On May 24, 2016 |
Question1: The whole thing does not add up, you are still a student but you want to travel to London for a summer course which is even lower than the level you are studying now? I'm not going to discourage but if i were you i will take a step back and think this through carefully before reapplying. |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by Nobody: 9:38pm On May 24, 2016 |
Question1:I did not respond to your earlier post because Justwise had said it all. Now that you have changed your course of study to International Business , in my opinion it's much better than the Greek stuff(LOL). The problem I have on this is the timing. June starts next week and the embassy could be busier from next week( info from a reliable source today). You may just mail your school to postpone the course, since you have already paid. This will also give you enough time to prepare for your next application with a considerable amount on your guardian's account to boost your chance. Anytime you wish to reapply, your guardians would need to produce legal documents to prove they're your legal guardians...pls seek a lawyer's advice on this. |
