UK never issues visa for a passport that expires under 6 months, you would need to renew your passport to apply and avoid being rejected or just take your chances.

Hi Guys,

Can anyone assist to review this refusal letter for my mum, She applied on the 1st of Nov and picked up today

1.) She provided a GT savings acct which has a balance of abt 200k which I sent to her in July. She mistakenly missed a cover letter explaining I transferred this to her.
2.) And also a Zenith Bank where she receives her monthly pension (73k), This was was stated as her monthly income in the application, the only unexplained remit in the account is about N1,435 which she paid in herself before printing her statement (wondered why she did that though).

So my Questions are
- is it advisable to apply asap (this coming week) with a cover letter explaining the above transactions, also with a transaction statement from me showing I transferred 200k in July?

- Does she need a new set of docs, her bank statement and my bank statements as the sponsor?

- Does she need a new invitation letter from me as we stated in her application she'll depart Nigeria Nov 18. I actually invited her over to celebrate her 65th Birthday with my family nextweek.

Elly91:


yours should be out by now or latest monday. Same thing happened to my parents whom I applied for, as my mum's own came out first and my dad and brother's own only came out today and it was already late so they have to wait till monday too (even though it is a family visa). I was even surprised to see that the decision was made since the 10th of Nov, meaning it took them only 10 days (standard visa). Am really impressed.

Goodluck

Doing that is important and you also need to supply financial documents to support money in her account and not just explanation alone.

Congratulations!

I'm happy for her

Hello similar for me...mine and my sons own has been sent by courier yet to collect it. But no decision for my wife and daughter on tls...
How long was the interval between yours?

Thanks fof the response Justwise, Can we re apply with just one bank statement and not 2 bank statements used in the refused application. Reason is I just scanned through her gtb statement where there were some deposits/withdrawals from local contributions...not sure how that can be explained and also some random financial gifts

Does she need a new set of docs, her bank statement and my bank statements as the sponsor?

- Does she need a new invitation letter from me as we stated in her application she'll depart Nigeria Nov 18. I actually invited her over to celebrate her 65th Birthday with my family nextweek.

Sorry for your refusal. This is a clear case of a refusal that could have been avoided should unnecessary documents not have been submitted. I know a lot of people on this forum promote submission of irrelevant documents all in the name of showing ties or submitting an air tight application. Forgetting you are also exposing the application to further scrutiny.

I don’t understand why a working and financial stable UK resident Who is inviting and fully sponsoring a retired immediate parent to the UK should be submitting bank statements of the parent.

If the child resident in the UK is the sole sponsor covering all expenses including accommodation. The onus is on the UK sponsor to provide evidence of sufficient funds for this trip( bank statements &payslip/bank statement with salary entries). A utility bill for proof of address & then an invitation letter. The add sponsorship undertaking (SU07) if you do fancy , big I think it’s necessary. It’s that simple. anysupporting doc around purpose of visit can be included

The only doc the retired parent should submit is pension authority. This single doc contains all the relevant details including the pension amount.

Well in your case. You need to resubmit all docs that was included in the last application that was denied. Then add cover letter for clarifications . If your latest bank statement is over 28 days old, add a recent one. I will redo the invitation letter and address some concerns on there if need be.

All the best.

Pick tourist as cousin is not regarded as family member visa wise though standard visa covers all sub-visa categories including family visa.

Are they sending you documents to support your application?

Hello everyone, is a certified true copy of my marriage certificate enough for my tier 2 visa application? I have a date of birth error on my marriage certificate which I want to correct at the Ikoyi registry but I was told that I will be issued a certified true copy of the marriage certificate. Do I have to submit both the original marriage certificate and the certified true copy of the certificate to the HO? If I submit only the certified true copy without explanation what are my chances of getting the visa? I am applying with my family.
Please advice me on what to do.
Thanks

My story,

I came here for counsel when I needed to apply for my two year visa and I think it's appropriate to give feedback.

Biometrics was done on the 3rd of November and received the mail to pick up on Friday the 17th of November. I did the normal route.

Shortly after I got the mail to pick up, I checked this page and saw a comment that visas are never issued to passport with less than six months validity. My heart sank because I never heard of that law and my passport is expiring on February, 2018.

The weekend was full of so much thoughts and worries. To think I had to wait the whole weekend was in itself torture.

I picked up today and I was issued the visa. I thank God for favour because several other people offline confirmed the passport rule.

Thank you all and especially to those who painstakingly answer questions here.

PreciousGemRubb:
Hello house, I am filling the form for my dad and I need clarifications with the following:
1. I said cost of visit is £1500. Do you think that's enough (visitor visa) Visiting for 17days. I also said I am fully sponsoring the trip with £1500.
2. I started he spends N60,000 monthly and I will explain that the money is partly from me and my mum as he is retired. (No pension yet)
3. Asking for dependant who depend on him financially and I said No but explained in the additional info box that he has children but doesn't help financially as he is retired. Is it Ok?
4. Is it compulsory to put my dad's parents details. No one knows their birthday (they are late)
