1. Nobody here can honestly tell you that even the ECO can't until you made your application and wait for the outcome

2. Yes that will call for some questions if you did not explain where the money come from and back that up with paper evidence.

3. Yes you have to.

4. Yes again you have to submit his own bank statement.


Since the application is next year and both of you earn more than half a million a month why not start leaving your salaries in your salary account to avoid moving money around for visa application?

You need to submit a separate application for your son but he doesn't need to do biometric but i think their picture will be taken

alert20:


sorry for the late response...
I think you have a good chance of getting the visa, but your home ties matters too..
are you married or single?
do you have kids/child?
as per sponsorship if you are above 25 I don't think you should use a sponsor however you can declare him in your visa application...

I think justwise, ekpotek, bigbus, FPL and other gurus can advice you further...

She can invite her male friend as long he meets visa requirements, this is like him applying to visit the UK on his own the only difference here is that a female friend is inviting him. Even if she will be paying for everything he still need to proof that he has a strong tie to Nigeria.

Mosun8220:


Thank you.
On your suggestion, we are planning to apply for the visa now in November and travel in March next year. Aside, coop is the only way I can save money otherwise, I will spend the money. You know it is difficult to have a saving in Nigeria.

Yes correct it neatly on the printout.

Applying in Nov for March travel is far too early, you should be looking at Jan and start putting money aside from now till then, putting money aside for the trip shouldn't be difficult if you are determined to do that.

please I want to confirm if they send you an email to come pick up your passport or you just went to TLS Ikeja?
, because I did my biometric since April 23rd never receive any reply yet for pick up at Ikeja TLS

OmoBendel24:


I once in a blue moon sound the way I will sound below, I feel this is an avoidable trouble much as I believe it is best to be truthful in one's application.

The passport used in 2006 definitely couldn't have been the e-passport. So, if he uses the old passport and agrees to have had a previous passport and can't remember details, what happens? I still don't think he should talk of the age difference stuff sha, I can't clearly see the trouble this portends for him now if he doesn't talk of it expressly in this application. He should be silent on it instead of running himself into unnecessary wahala.... This isn't a question asked that you are now denying, if it wasn't asked, this type should be allowed to be. If the need arises to be asked, they will sure ask!

ekpotek:


Holiday for 5 days? And considering you are proposing to spend 4 times your salary on a 5 days trip will not fly.

Yes correct it neatly on the printout.

Thanks. I just got my visa too and should be traveling soon, (first timer) . Just needed information about the best airline to travel with

I'm not sure I can cope with a 13 hour lay over. It sure would be boring

But do enjoy your vacation once again

Get an invitation letter from your friend, also a financial sponsorship letter explaining why she is sponsoring your trip. Is it a gift from her to you? Let her mention it there.

From your side, get a general letter from your school identifying you as a currently registered student (do not have the letter addressed to the embassy. Let it be a general TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN) Also get a employment status letter and possibly a leave letter which would be best to correspond with holiday from school (you don’t want to say you are going when in session and seem you have no ties to you edu)

Lastly, submit pay slips, bank statements even though your friend is sponsoring the trip. If your pay is not much (point out that you only work part time to start gaining experience so they see the prospect) focus on being a student and how much this means to you.

Explain your ties - do you have an aged mother or do you help manage your parents’ small business. Explain family ties.

When filling the form. Write 0 on the part that says what is the cost to you personally on this trip (or something like that)

Good luck. Hope all of this helps. I don’t check Naira land often. So the gurus can follow up from here.

Awwww, ok. I had always wanted to go for a 3 weeks summer course for some time now, i wasnt too sure i could make it this year so I didnt put many things in place.Eventually, i decided to give it a try.I had filled my form and was about to submit when i realised the category of visa i picked wasnt right.Thank God for the confirmation letter that was sent to me.Had to change from tourist visa to short term study.Time wasnt on my side, submitted on May 30th.Available date was 6th june through prime time which i clicked mistakenly.It was a day to biometric i discovered i wud need to pay.Long story short I paid online, went for my biometric and prayed i get a response after 3 weeks(june 27th) before the course starts on the 2nd of july.my paasport was eventually returned to me on 29th (not without drama with dhl) and travelled next day.Coming to this platform, I discovered things that i wouldnt have done if i hadnt come: cover letter (which i did after submission thank God i checked here befr biometric).I wrote alot of things from itinerary, to financial status, what I do etc. My mind was playing tricks on me cos I submitted a 5 mnths statement for both my salary acct and company acct, made bulk transfers a week before biometric, forgot to include i was denied US (i didnt remember at first), was confused when i was asked in the form if i have a relative in the uk which i responded No because of the clause written there meanwhile my cousin invited me in my previous application that i was denied...so it was a crazy moment for me while waiting cos a 2000 pounds non-refundable for my course was at stake if i was denied and didnt inform the school with proof before the course starts. I jst have a feeling the cover letter got my back.

marylanderr:



Also look into Lufthansa, Airfrance or KLM - they usually have good prices sometimes. Play around with the dates

Olugerm:
Thank you so much God bless... Have already filled the form print out the application but the area you said I should put 0 in how much does the trip cost to me I put a certain amount there hope that will not implicate me. I put 93k as what I have in bank..she sent invitation already, payslip, hotel reservation doc, but no sponsoring financial letter I will asked her to do that for me today
