chilove02: The general rule is that the earliest you can submit your application for FLR or ILR must be 28 days before the date your current visa expire. Your date start counting the first day you set foot into the UK and not necessarily the date on the visa sticker. So for example, if you arrived in UK on your settlement visa on 17th June 2015, you can apply on 17th December 2017 (30-month anniversary), minus 28 days which will be 19th November 2017. So that's the first day you can book your premium service centre appointment for (for same-day service) or send off your application by post. The gap in your dates between your visa stickers is propobably due to the fact the UKVI are counting your residency from the day you set foot into UK soil and not the date on the visa sticker. So just use this method to calculate if you are due for ILR to remain. Nevertheless you do not need to worry, just count form the date you arrived into UK till now and see if you’re qualified to apply for ILR. Hope this help. |

gaskinachi: The refusal letter is based on the fact that the applicatant did not provide a cover letter detailing information on the visit. If the visit is for tourism, then the applicant must provide a detail itinerary listing tourist location to visit, date of visit and why. Also the applicant must correct the mistake pointed out by the ECO on living expenses. If the applicant wish to reapply, he/she must read backward on this thead on how to package a tourist application. Many applicants with less income have gotten tourist visa by providing detail information on their visit as first time visitors. 2 Likes |

Hello People, very nice workyoubare doing here. Please may I also tap from the very good advice here. I just got a job with a Uk based coy to resume in the Uk head office on 9th April for a two weeks induction and training, after which I will be back in Nigeria to continue my job as their staff. This will be my first time applying for a Uk visa. Please what do I need to be able to apply successfully for this visa? When is the best time to pay for the visa? Is payment made online before download of form or after downloading form for submission at TLS? Am I to make available my statement of account or the company is to do that? |

I appreciate your response. I have contacted TLS and unfortunately the request can't be accommodated. Also do you have an idea of when the 2weeks processing time starts counting is it from Biometric date or the day its passed to decision making section confirmed by UKVI sheffield. ekpotek: |

Olowogbogboro17: You should be honest as I believed that you should know what you spend monthly on the average as living expenses. The ECO is not fooled, they can determine your pattern of expenses from your bank statement. |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by ekpotek: 9:41am On Mar 13, 2018 |
moskito36: Provide income from your main job. If you have other sources of income then declare it also. You cannot sum up the two. All savings should be in another bank account. |

Hello all, Really need help here. I work for the ministry so not a great amount of pay, my brother and sister is in the UK and i was hoping to spend some weeks there with my hubby. I have been to the UK before. My brother is sponsoring the flight, accommodation etc He provided all supporting statement, bank details, pay slip, mortgage etc. i added my savings and current account statement, issue is that i receive my salary in one account and move everything to a different account, one of my statement showed account balance of N500 because the money was moved to the other account. I got refused because it shows the account was low. can i do the following? 1. reapply saying he is sponsoring everything so no need to submit my statement? 2. reapply without showing the account that the showed the low balance? has anyone been successful for applying for visit visa stating full sponsorship by relative abroad without adding any person bank details? Thanks

pharuk: If your brother or family members want you to visit UK,they can provide all the proof of them sponsoring your accommodation,feeding,travelling expenses e.t.c Is very rare for a Nig applicant earning less than #100,000 to granted a Visiting visa because no person in the world will use all is savings just to visit abroad for a month & return back. If you can explain the legit source of the money in your GT Bank then your Visa can be granted. 1 Like |

Good day all, I have an issue and would like people to contribute based on trends and recent info. Would like to apply for UK visa for my dad and mum. Mum is booked to travel to US on the 5th of april. I have just received all supporting docs from their host in UK so submission and biometrics i guess cant be earlier than Monday. I also checked details for expedited applications and i am not sure their case qualifies for it to be expedited (please correct me if wrong). Though mum has been to UK before but dad hasnt. Mum has a US visa as well but dad didn't apply for US visa. I will package the application together as family since they are visiting for same purpose (cousin's wedding). Now my question: from recent scenarios, do you think we will get passports back before 4th of april? Is there a category we can fit in for expedited? If we dont receivevpassports by 3rd of april, is there anything i can do? Biko, kindly assist if you have answers for me. Thanks in advance |

House please, my uncle and his wife applied for a 6 month UK visa and did Biometrics on the 13th of Feb, 2018. The application was received in Sheffield on the 15th February and up till now, nothing more has been heard. Its taking too long, what can be done? PS: They applied to visit their daughter and her family, she is presently undergoing her PHD program in the UK and is a Temporary Resident. She is due to give birth by early April and they want to travel by then. |

semilore12: 4th of April is about 3weeks away so it's going to be tight, only if you want to use super priority which is very expensive but you will get your passport before 4th of April. |

customised87: Some applications stay longer than this though people still get it sooner. Only way to find out is to contact them. |
