Good morning Advisory, my leave is ending today and have not yet from tls concerning decision made although their website said decided updated 25th July, that's this last Tuesday. After exactly 7weeks,, my question is hope they won't say my leave is almost over? Is it possible for visa to be still granted even at that because my initial plan was to use just 7days out of the leave starting 5th to 12th July which has long passed. This was as their fault because dey even sent an apology letter saying they sorry for the inconvenience on 27june after submitted 6thjune that dey can't decide within the 15working day, pls bro hope leave ending will not be treat to granting the visa because I submitted more than a month before my leave is to start,,, Thank

Hello everyone, good job you are doing here. God bless you all.
1. I want to apply for my mum in law to visit us in uk, however the only assest she has in Nigeria is an hotel which is close for now for renovation( she has letter of registration, c of o etc), can we include that in the application and state that's its closed for now.

2. Is it necessary to get letter from the landlord because we can't assess him and all we plan to do is to add bills and d tenancy agreement to proof accomodation . Since she is staying for 2 weeks

Lastly, do I need to get letter from my employer because we plan to do full sponsorship but we will state dt she will provide her transportation. I will include my pay slips, bank statement and work I'd.

I will appreciate if I get enough responses quickly cos we plan to apply this week.
1.Just state what your mum owns in house and hotel, it does not matter if it is under renovation and if it is she still owns the building which counts for her.
2. Any bills showing your names and address is fine, have always used council tax
3. payslip and bank statement is fine no need for letter of employment.
I reckon you earn enough because it counts as well since you saying you footing most of her bills in the UK


Thanks

Advisory:

Decision already made since 25th of July, so it doesn't matter if your leaves ends now or not what is in your passport cannot change till it gets to you.
Secondly they treat cases on merit and your departure day does not matter as they already informed you not to pay for accommodation or buy your flight while awaiting decision.
They would have expected you to defer your leave till you get a decision.
Regards

Advisory:

Even when you call the number from within the UK, it will still direct you to the number outside the UK or ask you where the application was done and then ask you to pay.

McGibson:



OK. my aunt called them today from UK. she was given a reference number and was told to call back few days later and that she will pay to speak with the officers. that's all for now. TatPat

Advisory:

you can do both

Hello house!

And you think the explanation will be tenable? that backdating of a documents without another legal documents to back it up is criminal on it's own and if care is not taken it will earn her a ban.explanation is not enough in this matter expect there is a legal documents to it

Family who live in the UK
This includes:
immediate family - husband, wife, parents or children

grandparents or grandchildren

your husband's or wife's family

your child's partner or spouse

your partner, if you have lived with them for 2 out of the last 3 years



I dont have any of the aforementioned family in the Uk, but I have cousins. Does it (cousin) fall within immediate family?

Please i need clarification on this as I dont want to base my understanding on assumptions.
Thank you.

Tarry:


Yes the explanation will be tenable. When my wife applied for a renewal sometime ago she included a letter of promotion which was back dated to before her previous application, she stated that she did not include the promotion in the previous application because she had not received the promotion letter by then though the promotion had been in effect before then and her renewal was approved.

ekpotek:


Every application is treated on its own merit. The OP has been denied a visa when she was unemployed. Trying to explained a backdated employment letter will only make matter worse. If she is now in employment, all she needs is an introduction letter from her employer backed up with payslips to reapply in 6 months time.

ekpotek:


A cousin is person born of your father/mother siblings. So it could be implied to be a family member

ekpotek:


You can apply and submitted your documents and biometric in South Africa, since you have a permit to be in that country. For necessary documents go to UKVI website and read the requirement for a Standard Visitor visa; or read backward on this thread. Then come and ask questions on what you do not understand.

Brightingsus:


But the family membership as stipulated by Home Office for the purpose of visit visa application doesn't recognise that thought... Naturally we know a cousin is family...

While answering the question if you have family members in the UK, what the Home Office sees as family (immediate family) are listed clearly and cousins ain't there

ekpotek:


There are a lot of things that are not stipulated by home office! If I have a cousin in the UK I would refer the person as a family member! After all I cannot called the person a friend or what else.

Thecassanova:

Thanks I already started my application, I have some questions.

1. I'm being sponsored by Aunty whose daughter is getting married. How much is she supposed to have in her statement of account? Does the final balance of the account matters? Though she claims she doesn't have much cash has most money & income have been going to the wedding preparation. Can another distant family friend that has sufficient funds provide that ?

What documents does she need to supply to back up my invitation?

2. Am I supposed to submit my statement of account as I do student work here and also receive small change from 9ja sometimes? If yes how much are they expecting in pounds.

2. What other documents would be influential as supporting documents. I'm currently a registered student here and I paid full tuition & accommodation running to N2m+, can they think I would forfeit the money & Msc degree just to run to UK?. I'm only going for 1-2 weeks.

Thanks in anticipation.

Brightingsus:


Yes I agree with you 100 ^{per cent}, but I think Home Office is more interested in attributing immediate family as your family members

ekpotek:


1. Only two categories of persons that can sponsor you. Those that are responsible for your education in SA and the invitee from the UK. So is your aunt responsible for your education? Is she based in SA or the UK? Anybody outside this group, you will have to justify and explain why they are spending their hard earn money on you!

2. All documents about your schoolings, registration, course forms, examination results, library pass. School ID card, payment of school fees, introduction letter from school etc. sure you can also include your bank statement.

3. Anyone sponsoring you must provide bank statement.

quille11:
Hello house,

I Iike to enquire if it is required to include payslips along with bank statement in UK visa application.

Thanks

Thecassanova:

Thanks for the reply
My Aunt is the sponsor for the wedding. She based in Uk. And my mum back home is responsible for my education here and she's a frequent traveler to Uk. So I can use any as my sponsor not necessarily the invitee? Or both
