It changed exactly 14 days (yesterday)and I received today.
I believe in Miracle too but it’s better if you can improvise pending the outcome. Paying for flight ahead is very risky.

Since your last refusal. Have you travel out of the country to other places on vacation?

If you have relative declared it in the application but say you will not visit or stay with them.

Look for low budget hotel for 10 days such as Airbnb to stay.

Going on a vacation for 5 days to burn 500K is highly unreasonable and ECO will see through this, for an applicant on a salary of 200K!! Couple this with 2 kids and other family expenses at home. How can you justified spending this much? A reasonable vacation is at least 10 days. Ask your relative to provide documents to support accommodation and cut your expenses to N350K - N400K (flight + shopping/local transport). If I am going to burn 500K to go see the Theresa May for 5 days, then I must have some won naijabet���

yeah you have to pay the fee... or better still cancel and get a refund...
I cancelled my first application because I made a mistake while filling the form, so I cancelled it and requested for a refund, though my money has not been refunded back, but I applied again, and the site shows me only primetime appointment as I couldn't see the standard appointment options so I booked it not knowing I am to pay for the appointment.
so when I went for submission the tls lady ask for my card that I need to pay for the appointment... and I did I payed 30k there instantly because I don't want to cancel the appointment again even though I am yet to receive my first application refund...

Please house, which one is advisable for someone going to oxford university.
Lagos to Heathrow or Lagos to Gatwick.
Again if I board Emirate will I need any transit visa.
I have the Ethiopia and Emirate flight to pick from.

Please help.

Heathrow. You do not need transit visa on Emirate.

ekpotek:


Heathrow. You do not need transit visa on Emirate.

Thank you sir.

Please sir what are the things I need to travel with. I know some Africa countries mandated yellow card. Is there is anything so important that I must be aware of?

ekpotek:


Heathrow. You do not need transit visa on Emirate.

Again sir, what will be the implication if I board flight to Gatwick? Can I still get train or bus to Oxford? If yes, will there be any additional cost implication apart from journey which I have noticed.

@justwise, @ ekpotek. Please i need you attention on this. A young friend is applying for 6 months he has graduation invite for 14th July. He is applying using his company but forgot to add bank reference letter as the sole signatory to account. But the account statement is included and stated in the additional information that he is sole signatory.

What are the implications.
Thanks as you respond.

obaxlove:

Get your yellow card if you’re using Ethiopian airline and sleeping overnight in Addis.

Uk visa and all it's wahala since the early 90s,
Are there no other better countries than uk that one can visit without all these migraine troubles

It depend on your destination and arrival time in the UK. There will always be buses or train to your destination 24/7.

I finally booked emirate airline to Heathrow. I will connect Oxford from there.

Is there any other thing I should be aware of?
Do they check phones? Or any other things. I’m a first timer and I’m so anxious!

Thank you sir and thank you all.

@ekpotek, Please advise: as per your advice; flight to Birmingham will cost me more than another 100k than going to London Heathrow. Will I spend up to 100k from the latter to Leicester? Pleas advise. @justwise

There is nothing to be worried about. Just arrive at the airport on time for checking in. You can carry your phone on you and personal/travel document in your cabin luggage. They may need to examine them at POE. Enjoy your trip.

Nope. From Heathrow Airport London you can get to Leicester (direct) by Coach (£40 euro) or less if you buy online now. You can also take a train from London St Pancras international Station to Leicester (off peak) for about €70. If you decide to use the train, then take the London Underground from Heathrow Airport to the train station.

Ezechinwa:

6month visit Visa


Thanks guys.... Just recheck now and I saw decision made and ready for collection box ticked!

Meaning the rules of 15days or +1 or 2days still works

Sorry about that I meant ££££££. The € euro is probably because I have been spending €€€€ in the last 6 weeks in Ireland.
