If you would be willing to post the refusal letter and blur out your personal details... you would get additional insight into what might have happened. Sorry

Hello House,

I applied for six months visa last month and went for collection just yesterday.

Why do I feel the eco wasn’t fair in making a decision concerning my application?

I don’t think my documents were thoroughly checked.

See the reasons for refusal below:-
The credits and balances in your account are not consistent with your declared monthly income and I am not satisfied about the origins of the funds within your bank account.
On the evidence before me I am not satisfied that this statement is a true reflection of your financial circumstances or that your circumstances are as stated.
[b]
[/b]

Please what should I do, when can I apply again?

Cc. Justwise

Hello guys , feeling really gutted right now, my daughter and My mother were not allowed to board a flight from Nigeria to UK last night because there was a discrepancy in the passport no of the person who is accompanying my daughter (My Mother).
On reviewing the printout of the application I realised I made the mistake ,I entered an incorrect passport number for my Mum, I rushed the BHC early this morning and to my dismay they said since it was my fault they can't correct it ,I was advised to apply again.
Please how can I get an early appointment ? Is it possible ?and how much does it cost? I know Priority service is 410, but what of getting an early appointment.

I usually advice and consider a salary of 200k above to be minimum anything less would put you in the range of spending thrice your monthly income. Or at least 150k disposable income, also there should be no lump sum or unexplainable funds. (eg) If you net 150k monthly and you have a closing balance of 5m I see it as red flag

Bonus, commission, data money.

I explained this in my cover letter as i dont have documents to back this up.

Those payments are from my employer and it is stated in the payment narration

Truth is those investments are not considered are readily available funds. Readily available fund is your closing balance. What was your closing balance?

All these investments.. they are ties to your country but not palpable financial representation of how you are able to fund your trip to the uk without recourse to their funds or running away.
what was your closing balance? and you should always have documentation to prove all origin of funds.. since you had multiple deposits... thats what worked against the application..in the letter did your employer state your entitlements I am sure these amounts might have been more than ur salary thats why it was a red flag.. Sorry
You cant just say you explained in your letter

Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 4 by emadamysy: 9:39pm On Jul 12, 2019
[quote author=giselle237 post=80205860][/quote]My employer did not state.

So i want to apply again.

My employer gave me an introduction letter but did not state this other deposits in my account as they did not think it was necessary since other payments narration shows it emanates from them.

If they explained the deposits, would that suffice ?
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 4 by giselle237: 10:01pm On Jul 12, 2019
Ohh chimooo.... are you serious? no way nau
Then the budget for the trip was how much?

Pick any date (It can be December self). Avoid premium times or else you will be forced to pay for it. Then you can work in on Monday with 42k

Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 4 by Bestanderson: 10:42pm On Jul 12, 2019
I have been a silent reader and I just want to ask this to be clear! I was previously denied UK visa with my family twice.... for unexplained credits even when I explained all. But I registered my spouse for a paid event and the visa was granted. Spouse have just returned from the UK after spending the 7 days that was stated in the visa application. My question is given that the visa expires in 4 months time, will it be any better if the family apply for a summer trip and add my spouse visa page with detailed LOE to treat the previous refusal? will adding her visa have any kind of effect? We just wanted to spend 10 days.

Good morning, thanks to all wonderful contributors on this thread. The information here is priceless.

I'm applying for a tier 2 visa for myself and my wife(dependant) and my employer is certifying maintenance for both of us.
Please how true is it that only marriage certificate from Ikoyi registry is recognized by the embassy because mine was done and issued at Ibadan registry.

Also, part of the documents required from my wife is proof of relationship in which I've compiled previous pictures, court wedding pics, intro pics and screenshot of chats. Please are their any other persuasive documents I may need to include.

I look forward to your response.

They meant aside your salary account with total closing balance 342k , how do you explain funds in the other accounts with over 2m with proof, not just writing letter

MamaEEE:



Plx insist on hard copy, for most people that used it got refused bcs most of the ECO don't have that time to go tru it...


I found out late, I did self upload last month. I printed the e statement from my mobile banking through email.. I uploaded it. *worse mistake * I believe the VO checked my e statement twice with the email reference because I am the one getting the statement again and again not them. Worst part of it is the one I upload just have my name, act no., opening balance and email reference but the one they need to check which instead I am getting is with name, act no ., address, opening balance closing balance, total credit, total debit, usable balance, and bank reference
I did not go to the bank because all my trip expenses is been sponsored by my EU boyfriend now they are checking it I knew its important to them.
I just hope am lucky sad

Please prospective applicants should take note, even with 100% brit and EU sponsor your verifiable bank statement is important .

I just hope I am lucky...
