bskyb: That simply means that they fully booked though you may be lucky to get a date if you keep checking because someone may cancel his/her application |

Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by BrownCarton: 7:12am On Dec 20, 2018 |
Hello guys, Please I am in a bit of a situation and I need some advice. I am travelling to Nigeria from Australia on the 23rd of December to return on the 13th of January. However, I have to go to the UK(Scotland) on the 21st of January for job related conference (I live and work in Australia). I am thinking of how to go about things... Is it advisable I come to nigeria, then process my application from there? I am thinking of using the one week priority service. If I submit my online application today, how early can I get a date to be called for biometrics, and how long will it take to process after the biometrics if I decide to use the one week priority service. I ll be in nigeria for about 2weeks, 5days, so time is my major constraint. Please advise ... Thanks |

The buttons you're pressing is a survey/feedback button on how the interveiwing officer performed on your case and not your own personal assessment. Telling you to press green is just trying to indirectly beg you not to rate her low. Doesn't make sense to believe the buttons are for your assessment of dressing or how you look. What if that's the case and they ask me to press Black and I press Green instead? I don't doubt that you are assessed but that is done through cameras installed at vantage positions in the center.

Are you into business or an employee? Did you include the correct document showing how you earned this money monthly? The ECO is satisfied with your available funds for the trip, the only concern is that s/he not sure if at the expiration of your trip you would be willing to come back to Nigeria because s/he not sure you will still have a source of income to fall back to. If you're into business submit the relevant bank statements, business registration documents etc. If you're an employee, submit letters from your office stating your rank and entitlement to annual leave as well as possible resumption date back to work. kunmikool: |

justwise:please I was able to get a date for myself but I couldn’t get any for my little son. Can he use my date because we are applying together? Thanks |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by bigtt76(f): 7:39am On Dec 20, 2018 |
How old is your son? It should be fine since both of you are traveling together and all supporting documents he would need for his application are tied to yours. Sohoo123: |

Finding it difficult picking a date on the UK website, I hope this is a general website problem and not a new idea to make it hard for us to get dates. Anybody experiencing this too ? |

@justwise Pls with regards to my enquiry. I am thinking of making my application here in Australia before I travel to Nigeria. Is it possible that one could apply for a visit visa, but since I will be traveling, I will take my passport alongside with me, then submit only copies for my appointment and return back for the final decision with the passport? |

Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by BrownCarton: 4:55pm On Dec 20, 2018 |
A friend told me that if I used priority processing, my outcome could take more that 5 business days as there would be more suspicion on why I want a decision too fast. Please, can someone pls share some light on this. Thanks |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by bskyb(m): 5:10pm On Dec 20, 2018 |
justwise: The dates are available now. I was able to book an appointment. I would appreciate any tips. I have been there twice on a visiting and a clinical attached visa. I want a 2year visiting now. Regards |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by BrownCarton: 5:31pm On Dec 20, 2018 |

BrownCarton: use the currency converter on www.oanda.com and convert across any currency of your choice. That is the converter UKVI also uses. |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by justwise(m): 9:17pm On Dec 20, 2018 |
Sohoo123: You can do that since there is no available date for your son |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by justwise(m): 9:19pm On Dec 20, 2018 |
BrownCarton: I really don't think that is possible |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by justwise(m): 9:24pm On Dec 20, 2018 |
opeolukoya: You need to be specific with your budget so as to tally with your bank balance, you need a breakdown of the cost of the trip. If you don't have more than enough in your account then i don't think its wise to waste money applying for visa. |

Good evening house, i want to share my experience with you concerning the judiciary review that immigration lawyers always tell people who gets refused .. there's nothing like that.. this lawyers will just collect your money without doing anything good. I fell victim nd am trying to retrieve my money back frm d lady .. i gave her 40k when my visiting visa refused.. i complained in the house nd i was advised not to do such but i 'd already given her. Below is what she gave me today as response frm British embassy.. she claimed she sent appeal to them. Please advice me.. i wish to reapply January

Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by BrownCarton: 12:48am On Dec 21, 2018 |
justwise:Thanks bro... I ve just applied and paid for the visit visa(priority). Got a date for the 28th December in lagos. However, I applied for a 2years visa and its my first visa to UK and prior to that, I ve only travelled to Australia as a PR which is where I reside. I m being told I should have applied for 6months, as a first time visa of two years will not be granted or will lead to longer processing time. I am traveling for an employer(Australian) sponsored training in UK. I am looking at cancelling and reapplying if this information is true. Pls kindly advise with your experience on this |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by bigtt76(f): 5:21am On Dec 21, 2018 |
You placed yourself in a difficult position. You shouldn't have appealed the decision to refuse you visa in the first instance but rather prepare ahead for a fresh application. Now you will be scrutinized with care when next you apply and without guaranty you will get it. Avoid all those quack immigration lawyers. adeniyy01: |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by bigtt76(f): 5:24am On Dec 21, 2018 |
You need strong justification for you to get a 2 year visa on first application, but then as a resident of Australia, it might be possible to get it. BrownCarton: |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by bigtt76(f): 5:42am On Dec 21, 2018 |
Bolded part messed up your application ![]() All ECOs want to see is that you are getting a steady salary or income stream that can pay for your trip and still have enough to fall back on when you leave the country you visited. You have a variable income stream which doesn't seem like a steady income stream and except you explain to the ECO via a cover letter your situation or any deposit other than your salary, s/he may believe you're not entitled to get the visa. adeniyy01: |

bigtt76:Oga please go back to that stupid immigration lawyer,,ask her for refunds and definetely she would disagree,threaten her u would involve d police or go with d police seeking her arrest,she wont want to go to the station..she wud pay u ur money..telling u dis from experience..this people dont send any rubbish mail,they send mails to email addresses with automated response and sometimes draft mails and respond theirselves...get ur money back!of recent,I stumbled on a complaint proceedure while doing research abt Uk visit visa refusal and how best to tackle wrong refusal reasons,especially for those who have no right to appeal or administrative review....i found out in cases where an applicant does not have right to appeal or administrative review,asides letter before claim and judicial review(which is a long process and involves going to court and all..lol),u can write a letter of reconsideration ;its like a complaint letter,pointing out that the ECO made a mistake in judging ur application,e.g the eco failed to put into consideration document A,B,C or the eco relied on incorrect assumptions which led to your refusal e.g the conversion rate of ur salary,or if the ECO says ur salary does not reflect in ur bank statement and you have submitted a payslip that shows ur salary payment is being made to ur acct..just giving few examples here...I dont advise u reapply as to me this is just dashing dem money again,if the eco made a mistake ,a letter of reconsideration should be written,send a mail and u wud get an automated response stating u cannot send mail outside d uk to that box,then respond stating u re not making enquiries but rather complaints and would like the ECM to review ur application...if it is true that there was a mistake truly by them,the mail would be forwarded to the appropriate quarters and u would get a response that ur mail is under review ...if what u stated is right,u would get a reconsideration mail,askn u to submit ur passport at d embassy and would be called upon to pick up when it has been stamped...and sometimes they wud still refuse if the ecos rejection reasons re correct..wud share a template on how the process is done..a friend of mine got reconsidered and he didnt spend a dime on reapplication fees..the while process took about 14days and he got his passport stamped...please note that the ONUS is on u to be able to pinpoint the ECOs errors and be sure to have carefully studied the guidance brochure before writing a reconsideration mail... 2 Likes |

Dear All, I have a two-year visa which will expire 2020. I already bought my travel ticket for 26th December and just realised my passport will be expiring February 2019.... I will be back in Nigeria by mid January. I just want to check if this is going to be a problem at Heathrow. I can't get a new passport between now and Wednesday |

@nomad26 thanks for this. Just a few questions please. What is the Original cover letter please? (Content) Now, about the original maintenance letter, did you request this directly from your employer? Reason I'm asking is because I had thought the only way to show maintenance was to use bank statements showing funds have been maintenaned in the account for 90 days. nomad26: |
