Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by Otababo: 7:53pm On Mar 23, 2019 |
Hello gurus. I have been following this tread for month now. I intend to apply for a visit visa in a few weeks. I’m been invited over by boyfriend who is going to be my sponsor. I work and I have a company that’s been in existence since 2013. I was expecting a contract last month so I did tax clearance even though the job is yet to come through. My salary is 80k but I have a savings of 340k. The other issue I need help with is that I’m separated for 4yrs so my passport bears my ex husbands name whereas my account and every other documents have been reverted to maiden name, will this be a problem? If my boyfriend wanted to send an invite should he put my maiden name or the one on the passport? Thank you |

Otababo: Firstly, Use the name on your passport. Then do a change of name affidavit that you have changed your previous name to the new name. The name of your passport must be the same as the name in your visa application. 1. Your boyfriend should write a letter of invitation stating where he is working, address and most importantly that he would sponsor you for all expenses, accommodation, flight ticket, feeding and living expenses. He should state the amount he will provide. He should also write about your relationship and how he met you. He should include documents that he will use to support your application i.e bank statement, work payslips, proof of address e.g council tax, utility bills, sponsorship form e.t.c . He should fill out the first page of the below sponsorship form: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/751681/sponsorship-form.pdf Your boyfriend should provide minimum of four months bank statement with considerable amount of money. He should show genuine documents and proof of his income. Ascertain if your boyfriend claims or documents are genuine. If it isn't, then you wont be given visa 2. You should write a cover letter. Introduce yourself, where you work and your purpose of visit; i.e to visit your boyfreind as you miss him. State your plans of visit and places you intend to go. Exclusively state that your boyfreind will sponsor you with (the amount your boyfreind declared to sponsor you). Then state how you will spend this money. e.g cost of return flight 500 pounds from Lagos to London Heathrow and vice versa, cost of travel, visit, sight viewing and miscellaneous e.t.c . The amount calculated should be equal to what your boyfreind said he will give you. State that you will include your passport, affidavit, employment letter, CAC, Educational certificates, property documents (if you have) or other stuffs you have. You must show proof, so dont put what you cannot proof. 3. You should also provide your minimum of three month bank statements if you receive money from your employer or you transact business and your bank statement reflects all these. This will greatly help your application. However, if your bank statements does not reflect or proof your employment or work financial transactions as stated in your application,(e.g monthly salary money, wages payment e.t.c) then it is better not to include your bank statement as it shows one is lying and one visa will be rejected. Hence, since your sponsor has stated he will sponsor you, only use your sponsor bank statement as it has worked for many people. 4. You should give a relationship letter to show if you and your sponsor are really in a relationship. Proof that he is your boyfreind. Things like photos of both of you, bank transactions showing he gave you money or you gave him money, hotel reservations for both of you, whatsapp communication message, facebook messages and many more 5. Write explicitly that you will come back to Nigeria after your visit and proof it to them. Valid proof should be your Verification letter from employer stating that you will come back to work after permission of holiday is granted. Other proof is that you own a valuable land property. You can also state that you have children in Nigeria that it is impossible you leave them. Proof that by showing your picture with children and birth certificate. Do the above and do not lie and claim what you are not. If you and your boyfreind dont have proof of any documents, your boyfreind and you should not declare it in the application. You must have proof of what you claim. Follow the above routine and visitor visa is certainly yours. 4 Likes 2 Shares |

mayo47:No. If they ask, give them valid reason why you cancelled it perhaps the location or you find somewhere better that suits your needs. However, you should do another hotel reservation that do not charge money. Sometimes, they will ask you where you plan to go. If you dont have anybody or did not declare you know anybody in your visa application, tell them that you will go to the hotel you reserved. If they ask you and you dont proof to them you have a place to stay, you might be deported. 3 Likes |

What form of sponsorship are you looking up to your twin sister for? This is very important and aside that, she's not based in the UK so how would the UK authorities verify her sponsorship. If you have enough bank savings or financial investments (TBills or money market funds) it might be easier but again your monthly salary is way too low as a tie to your coming back. May be you should mention as part of your travel reasons, family reunion with your twin visiting UK subject to your being granted a visa.... She doesn't need a UK visa since she's a US citizen. All the best. Keke123: |

DMainMan: I am thinking of reducing the duration on my new booking since there's a probability i might be charged. Thinking of booking 4 days for the new hotel instead of 7 days (stated this in my visa application). What do you think? |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by DMainMan: 2:04pm On Mar 24, 2019 |
mayo47:Book 7 days as stated in your visa application. Do you want to be deported at the point of entry? When you get inside the UK, you can decide to cancel your hotel reservation and go to anywhere you wish to reside or do anything you wish to do. Choose a hotel that has free cancellation of two hours before lodging. There are some hotels that they reserve your stay and accept you to pay when you get there. I have advised you. I wont repeat myself again. |

mayo47: Please have a valid hotel bookings oh else you will be on the next flight to Nigeria. This happened to me last year October. I was at the port of entry. I booked 2days and on my landing card I wrote I'm staying for 10days. It was an issue to me but because I was a frequent traveler, I scaled through. I was put under investigation for booking 2nights and my return ticket was 10days. If you're a frequent traveler, you can do that at your own risk. Book the number of days on your return ticket and when you enter you can cancel it. The hotel might charge you before you enter sef because you duration days has started. I had to let 20K naira go to the hotel to enter but I enjoyed it sha. 20K naira or deported, which one will you choose ? |

Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by eduson33(m): 1:11pm On Mar 25, 2019 |
next time, don't let your visa run out before applying for a new one. always reapply when you've still got one month left on your visa. that way, you don't have anything to worry about as long as you submit proper documents. i didn't put an invitation letter for my 2nd visa. tswise: |

Hello house I over stayed my 6 months UK business Visa which was issued in 2010 and I came back to naija in 2013 voluntarily with my passport. At the departure the UK immigration wrote a number inside my passport, the said passport has expired and I have collected another one which I have used to travel to Dubai. I want to apply to the UK embassy for visa, what is my chance of getting the visa? |
