@justwise and other gurus please i need ur help.
A friend and her mum were denied uk visa.
For her she was denied purely from her previous refused visa wasnt explained nd presently she owns a company she is operating still dey werent satisfied. Then for her mum their reason was that they couldnt get the relationship between her nd her daughter nd she didnt submit ties which she did.he also made some mistakes staingb that she nd her mum intends staying for two weeks whereas they intended staying for three weeks which was stated on the form,nd for her mum she submitted doc but he still insisted that he didnt see any documents.at the end there is no right of appeal or right to administrative review.please we need ur advice asap.thanks

If you can do that then it will reduce your cost when you are ready to apply

I feel the need to post my visa time line as well as few thing I did to get my UK visa issued. I had submitted my application before seeing this thread. The thread helped calm my nerves and also got me apprehensive at the same time. I had just made a " lodgement " a few days before submitting my application at TLS Abuja. However due to previous information obtained from "the US birth" section of this website earlier in the year, I followed it up with a letter and documents to show the reason for the deposit. That been said, after reading thru the pages of the UK visa enquiries I realised so many mistakes I had made on my application particularly with respect to expenses which shot over 6000 pounds despite the supposed sponsor's account statement having a balance of around 4 million naira. I also made a few other mistakes while filling the application forms which I wouldn't want to divulge for fear of been hounded as I know very well that visa/clearance officers and border patrol officers visit this site to get updated on "naija tactics". I must also say that I was inline with most of the directions given here as I submitted so many documents it was almost like I was handing a bible over. Thanks for always helping people Justwise and Co.

Biometrics at TLS Abuja 7th November

Decision made 16th November.
Passport ready for collection 17th November.

is it legal to study or do internship for a few months while on a visit visa to uk.
eg engaging in a short 2months course or internship in make up, while being in the uk with a valid 2yr visa?

Leahpal:

justwise:


All these documents belongs to the mum? How about the daughter who does she do?

Francois10:

@Justwise. OK thank u, if I apply for between 3days and 1week is dat OK. Also am thinking of including 3mths bank statement instead of 6, does that have a downside?

justwise:


Its illegal.

Some belongs to the mum the housing and car documents.

For the daughter she owns a coy that she has been running for close to two yeqrs.she submitted everything about the company nd still dey r referring her back to the refusal letter that she hasnt cleared it but she has. Now they said no right to appeal or administrative reviews

Hello justwise, how are you? please i will love to visit the uk for xmas with my mom. I have a good travel history and my mom has been to uk 3times. I want to apply as the principal applicant and add my mom's application to mine. Please advice me on how to go about it. her visa and passport are expired and i am getting another for her on monday. Thanks as i await your reply.

justwise:


You can't add your mum to your application, it has to be done individually just as she has done previously

yinkslinks:
but i am the one sponsoring her and she is going on my documents. okay can i apply alone with my wife and baby? wanted to use my moms to get successful with mine.

justwise:


I understand that but my point is that the application has to be done individually even if you are sponsoring it. They can still use your documents..e.g bank statement to add to their package.

justwise:


Both of them has to meet visa requirements individually, its not a joint application using one budget.

There is no right of appeal or AR for visiting visa

justwise:


The longer you stay the more you have to spend, so you have to find a way of reducing the cost of the trip to increase your chances of getting a visa
