Timeline: 1st application: January 16 2018 Outcome: denied 2nd Application; 26th March 2018 Application not straight forward mail; 16th April Passport collection: 30th April Outcome; Visa Granted.. What I did differently in the application was to address the reasons for denial in the first application, which was origin of my funds. I highlighted my bank statement with yellow marker and explained with a cover letter.. 1 Like |

moskito36 congrats where did you apply at first and secondly did you submit your 2 application in the same place kindly let me know how you explain the funds in your acct |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by Youngpablo180: 8:37pm On Apr 30, 2018 |
moskito36: what do you mean by you highlighted the statement of account you submitted ? did you use the same statement of account you used in your first application for your second application as well or you printed a new statement of account before march 26th ? please list the documents you submitted and your past refusal letter to help others understand how the ECO denied you with the origin of funds to make it easier for others to do same thing if they ever encountered such in future |

Youngpablo180:Marker highlight If he used a different one within two months it will not seem straight forward enough so what he must have done was updated the previous one Once you have a couple of lump sums that isn’t consistent they get skeptical until you actually analyse the origin of those funds . |

bogolobango: Both applications were at ikeja Lagos I explained in-flows by supporting it my pay slips (which I also attached in my first application). I highlighted the inflows to show its my monthly salary with the payment narrative. This were also referenced to in my cove letter. |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by moskito36(m): 10:20pm On Apr 30, 2018 |
chloe00: I used same bank statement.. The only difference is that I received my February and March salary.. Also, I addressed all the reasons for previous denial in my cover letter which were: 1.Initially low opening balance of 298000- I told them the reason 2.Closing balance of about 1.3 at refusal- I was saving and withdrawing less often since my wife works and contributes to family purse. 3. Origin of funds in my account- salary only (backed up with pays lip) It was assumed my account was artificially inflated- and I showed that the funds are still available and has even increased since my salary was being paid. Docs submitted 1. Bank statement of salary 2. Six months payslips 3. Marriage certificate 4. Birth certificate of my 2 kids 5. Letter of introduction from work 6.cover letter to explain my circumstances 7. Hostel booking. Practically same things I submitted in my first application, only that I addressed the issue raised in rejection letter. |

Please I need advice on this: Will the UK embassy accept my husband's company's (he's an entrepreneur) statement of account since he's sponsoring me? I will go with: marriage certificate, wedding pictures, husband & daughter will escort me to the interview. Do I stand a good chance to get the tourist visa? |

@Ekpotek Good morning. Please, can i submit a tenancy agreement in place of utility bill? Or both? Thanks. |

Alphageometrix: I don't have any of these visas only my destination visa and am not entering into turkey just to transit and I will be flying Turkish airline... |

Hello everyone, Please is a good hostel accommodation okay for reservation, I'm planning a budget effective 10 days holiday package for myself. Do you guys think the ECO will accept confirmed hostel accommodation? Has anyone gotten a visa with this? Anticipating response... thanks. |

[quote author=chloe00 post=66891500] hello gurus in the house, i applied for UK 2014 and i was denied, i did through agent and i don't have any login information from him, now i would like to apply again and how can i go about it? which website do i need to use to fill the application form online? |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by ekpotek: 10:47am On May 01, 2018 |
smilz: Yes you can submit both as proof of address. However, recent utility bill is perferred. |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by ekpotek: 10:53am On May 01, 2018 |
galazito: Hi you are good to go. You do not need any transit visa as long as you do not plan to leave the airport. Like I said there are plenty of activities in transit area to keep you busy all days. If you need a nap, you can visit the star alliance lounge or the airport hotel at a fee. |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by Menakay(m): 12:34pm On May 01, 2018 |
enthusiasm:Yes, you re good to go. I have been using hostel accommodation to reduce d cost of d trip and its been working. 1 Like |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by smilz(m): 2:57pm On May 01, 2018 |
ekpotek: Okay, thanks. The only problem with the utility bill is that the meter to my apartment isn't in my name nor the landlord's name. I think the past occupant purchased it. My landlord stays in same compound so, is it okay if i get his recent utility bill alongside a note stating we all share same meter? Though i pay utility bills[bank transfer] to him every 3months for security and waste disposal. I can equally write 'for utility bill' in the remark during the bank transfer and get a receipt from him. Is that okay? |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by ekpotek: 6:06pm On May 01, 2018 |
smilz: Sure just get a note from your landlord explaining it as it. |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by smilz(m): 6:44pm On May 01, 2018 |
ekpotek: Thanks alot. Truly appreciate all you do to assist us. |

@Chloe and other gurus what amount of money can be classified as a lump sum?? I hope N200k is not in the category sha?? |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by giftwalter: 9:46am On May 02, 2018 |
Hello gurus in the house, My situation goes like this, my account balance presently do not have enough money on it, though there's enough cash inflow which includes my salary and monies paid into my account for some of my side hustles. Prior to my visa application lumps sums of money will be paid into my account, this is not deliberate. It just happens that my cooperatives will be paying me my savings at this time. I was told there's a column in the form I can use to explain the lumps sums in my account, but I do not want to risk it. It might not be too convincing to the ECO. My question is can I use someone as a sponsor? the person has enough cash inflow and balance. Will my account statement be needed for the application since I'm using a sponsor? Note: I have never traveled outside the country before |

Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by alert20: 10:01am On May 02, 2018 |
[quote author=giftwalter post=67206524][/quote] I think that will depend on your age bracket.. if you are above 25yrs I wouldn't advice you to use a sponsor... yes your statement of account is also a good tie to your home country. |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by giftwalter: 10:13am On May 02, 2018 |
alert20: I'm 27, so what's the possible way out? since the lump sums in my account will raise red flag. If not for the lumps sums my account would have been ok to use, by the time of visa application I will have up to 1.8 in my account. |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by ekpotek: 10:38am On May 02, 2018 |
giftwalter: If you are unwilling or unable to full explain with documents the origin of the proposed lump sum and why it was paid into your account. The safest thing to do is either cash out the money or instruct your cooperative to pay it into another bank account. At your age and since you’re working, you cannot use a sponsor, unless your travel is business related and not for touring. |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by eskinol: 11:29am On May 02, 2018 |
Hello Guys, I need advise on what to do concerning my visa application. I applied since 7th of March, missed my training because no decision has been made, escalated the issue 3times, called uk visa centre twice, visited the embassy in lagos and they are all saying that uk hasn't made a decision. Now i have an exam on tuesday and i have to use my passport orelse i will lose my money plus time. I want recall my passport. Is this advisable and wat are the odds. Please i need urgent response. Thanks |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by giftwalter: 1:28pm On May 02, 2018 |
ekpotek: All the monies paid to the cooperative was transferred from my account, will highlighting these transfers on my bank statement be enough prove? if yes how can go about explaining this? is there a format or form? |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by ekpotek: 2:16pm On May 02, 2018 |
giftwalter: There is no format or form. There is section in the online application form for additional information. Here you can explain it. If the space in the form is not enough, then include a cover note to notify the ECO that lump sum of xxxxx is due to maturity of your investment and is mere concidental and not a fund lodgement for visa application. It will also be wise to get a letter from your cooperative confirming the payment etc. |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by giftwalter: 2:34pm On May 02, 2018 |
