Brightingsus: Yes So, like Justwise suggested, state a reasonable period of stay and stick to it for the purpose of renewal. Is this your first child? If yes give traditional reasons for mama to stay long enough for the period you are requesting for. Your mortgaged apartment with ample space for mama will be helpful. Cheers |

amaeve: A nascent coy needs the presence of its owner. Also, it means you are submitting a month old bank statement? Permission from your dad is outrightly irrelevant. Your strong tie for now is the company. Grow it logically, transact all biz with supporting docs. Have proper records for all your undertakings........in February 2018, give it a go. All the best |

dammy2good: Sure the ECO will view it as money lodgement for visa purpose. Your partner should have waited for your to secure the visa first! You will need to really explain this amount to the ECO and back it up with adequate documentation if you still proceed with the application. Another option is to liquidate this amount from your account before printing the bank statement. Your partner is an unreliable sponsor as he/she is not yet your family member. The ECO would want you to show evidence that you can foot the whole trip at your own expenses as this is a vacation. Bringing in your partner as a part sponsor is a red flag and shows a lack of strong ties to Nigeria. |

XXCASH: The decision was made 21st got a decision mail from TLS 23rd by 10am and available for pick same 23rd around 1pm. I didn't trail true TLS but ukV web and it shows DECIDED only on 21st despite visa issued two days earlier. Mind you, I still checked ukV web late 22nd & got access denied. |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by nairacountry(m): 3:26pm On Jun 25, 2017 |
dammy2good: If by partner you meant husband, please go ahead with your application. Just remember to put YES where the question of "Is any other person paying for your trip?" Then state a good reason where asked why. If a common law partner, Hmmmm.....you can still go ahead. If no evidence to show who he is to you. Forget it. Just transfer back to the same account. Let him pay for the ticket once approved. However, if the amount is not significant to what your closing balance is; say 500k out of #2.5M+, you can give it a shot. [/b]NB: to all concerned; I got visa with 38days old bank statement. The statement was printed earlier for a different purpose but later used for UK. Submitted exactly 38days after print-out coz bal in the account at the moment of UK submission wasn't smiling ☺ ☺ ☺[b] 1 Like |

Dear All, Is it a must for the invitation letter to the UK as visitor to be signed or it is also acceptable when sent as a word file and telephone number is included for confirmation? |

XXCASH:Its just frustrating, My Wife applied & did Biometrics since 23rd of May at Ikeja TLS,It was "Decided" on 13th of june but uptill now no Email from TLS or embassy on her passport where about,before we can talk about DHL, because she also did DHL option since we dont reside in Lagos. Her travelling date is fast approaching because she is travelling for a conference and we dont even know if her application is successful or not,. US Visa procedure is never this hard to get back your passport. 1 Like |

huey99: I don't know how to help. If read back, many have similar complain on payment issues. Some got the solution by using a foreign card to pay. Some where lucky paying with paga. Still others commented that using the old online application portal will accept Naira cards. Just read backward and try all the solutions offered. 1 Like |

Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by Believe13: 10:55am On Jun 26, 2017 |
@nairacountry Am going to the US with my family but UK alone. Have always wanted to visit UK so my husband decided that a give it a try again after 4yrs of taking a break. Note: have only applied once and was denied back then . reason was finance . salary poor. 48k then but have commission from sales .( statement of account was 800k) not lump sums built it over time. Was engaged then and the same was stated in my application. Reason for denial: basically because of my salary that other income was based on commission and that I might not return . I even added my wedding IV card and that was also going for shopping. But VO officer thought otherwise. |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by ekpotek: 12:05pm On Jun 26, 2017 |
Believe13: Having a US visa does not conferred any advantages for a U.K. visa because the two countries operate different systems of evaluating an applicant. In fact a Scenghen visa is more stronger than a US visa for U.K application. Having said that, your success will depend on the intention of your visit and supporting documents. With a previous UK visa refusals, you need to really package your application to avoid another refusal. That means, your job, income, bank balance and family ties in Nigeria and the U.K. will be the deciding factors. Good luck. |
