Before the travel allowance was moved, from my company acct to savings acct(Dont forget I own these accounts), the closing balance in my savings was 4m.

The fund is in my savings account and its shown on the statement of account and explained in the cover/breakdown note.

Husband already wrote Letter of consent/support(signed) with his Id card, business card and data page.


The travel allowance was paid in my savings account from company's account, its Annual/yearly. Its written in my employment letter.
What other documentation do you think should be provided to the effect please?

@justwise @ekpotek and other gurus in the house, I need directions please. I've asked this questions previously but I've not got any concrete answer on how to go about it.

I'm on tier 2 visa, I came to UK in September and will be due for child delivery in March. I want my mum to come over to support me during the period. I have no issues with applying fpr my husband and son as my employer is ready to issue a letter stating that they will support my family.

My challenge now is I[b]'m planning to start application for my mum in December but by then, I would have just worked for 4 months.I've been reading about how people said they presented 6 months payslips, 6 months utility bills e[/b]tc.

[b]I'm presently staying in a shared apartment where we pay the agent rent with bills inclusive. How am I going to present that? [/b]I'm also planning to move to a 3-bedroom apartment later in the year in preparation to receiving my family. All these have not amounted to 6 months, I'm so worried right now.

I'm completely a novice about all these application thin, mine was done by my recruiter. I only went for biometrics and visa pick-up.
PLEASE COME TO MY AID NAIRALAND FAMILY.
Thank you as I anticipate your responses. God bless us all

ekpotek:


The question you need to answer is if the TA was paid for pleasure or business trip. If you have xm closing balance in your savings account, why bother to sources for financial support from your husband and company travel allowance for the trip. The ECO will obviously concludes that these funds are unavailable to you. You really need to think through your sources for funding the trip so that the ECO is not confused like me and refuse your application.

ekpotek:


1. Since you did not provide information on your quarterly allowances, it is difficult for me to evaluate your financial ties to Nigeria.
2. Sure you can state in the form you're travelling with someone. This information only come into play if both of you will be submiting a group application. If not, each applicant will be assessed based on individual present circumstances in Nigeria.
3. If you have a family in the UK, then I advise you declare them. Declaring them does not mean you must visit or stay with them.
4. Explaining these mutual investment and contribution to the ECO will be a tought task. I would suggest that you liquidate the fund you need for the visit and let it be sitting in your account at the time of application, beside submiting documents relating to your mutual investment and contribution as sources. You can provide a cover letter to ECO to justify why you liquidated the fund, that you have been saving for the trip.
5. Sure you can stay at your friend relative place, so far they provide the necessary documents such as letter of invite, council bills, utility bills, morgage bills etc.

ekpotek:


1. The 6 month payslip rule is not sacrosanct. You can submit just the payslip you have.

2. You should rather be worried about your shared accommodation as it will not be acceptable by the ECO. The application to invite your mum will only fly when you have moved into a new accommodation as stated and you have all the necessary bills (Utilities, Council etc) in your name.

justwise:


As it's there is nothing much you can, present 4months bank statement if that's what you have and explain in the form that your rent is bills inclusive which is common in the UK, but you must include yourself tenancy agreement.

Though shared accommodation will not be suitable for your mum invitation

The fear is the use of this formula: 2*monthly salary(N480k)= disposable income(720 GBP);irrespective of what you have in the savings account. As you have mentioned earlier I will need more than the N480k.

Meanwhile, Total breakdone expenses to be spent is 2065 GBP on myself and 2kids.

Or is there another formula they use for an Employer In my case please? This is urgent, I need to make decision tonight please.

ekpotek:


That formula is just advisory. It’s mostly applicable to those in salary employment and not for company owners like you. Like I said you have a saving of xm personally. You do not need any additional fundings as that amount is more than sufficient to the three of you. All that you need is to provide documentation to support these savings, by submitting your company bank statement to show that the fund came from your company and perhaps from your husband. The most important thing is to show that funds in your saving were legitimately earned and not fund lodgment.

Hi Justwise, and the house, thanks for the support so far. Few questions again

1. Utility Bill sent by the friend inviting is dated July 2018, hope it's ok to use now. Stayed there last time of visit

2. Invitation letter to be sent as main body from his email, hope it's fine. No means to print, sign and scan back now as done for the previous 6-month visa

3. Letter from Employer was collected in August 2018, over 3 months back. want to use it now, Hope it's good.


Thanks to revert


Regards



Thanks

Sorry to bother u more

Why I am somehow confused is the fact that I believe those ties are there (Over 1m naira monthly salary with payslips to back it up and letter from employer, landed properties, FD and TB of over 8m naira, shares - all built over time of over a decade of working with good Sal and position,etc except of being single) And was issued 6-month UK Visa (first attempt) with same profile before the US refusal with my mum. I really still didn't understand why the US was refused. However, I really like to get the 2-years UK now, hence I am seeking ur counsel on this. thanks and I will appreciate any other advice from u. Any other additional info needed to include in the application to justify the 2-years? God bless u for the selfless job being done

ifyalways:

6 months bank statement is okay.
Why do you want to print just 5 months as opposed to 6 though ?

justwise:


That does not answer the question and will leave the ECO guessing what that meant. State clearly the reason for the refusal as was written in that paper given to you by the VO

I rather you ask me any question you have here

Hi Guys,

Just a quick question. I would like to go to Czech with my sister next year (holiday). She lives in Nigeria, I live in the UK. I noticed that direct flights from Nigeria are so expensive, and that it will be cheaper if she comes here (UK) first then take the next flight to Czech. Does she need a UK visa to do this?
