Ok thanks but can I use the normal standard appointment for each of them for the same time instead of paying for the flexi appointment

flexi appointment is not free but i don't know the cost[/quote]

A quick question for the house, after booking the appointment on TLS, will I get a confirmation of the appointment date/time or something?
The TLS account is simply saying “Appointment date and time not set” even after I’ve been debited. Is this normal?

I don't know again o!
Nothing has been heard from the embassy after they sent me a mail that decision has been made last two weeks... Pls justwise and co , what shld I do?
I did my biometric at Ikeja centre since July 26 . I need your professional opinion. Thanks

Reason for previous refusal is likely to play a part in next visa application

Okay sir

Will be following this thread.

Hello dear....Email them again my cuz finally said he got two pick up emails from TLS today....but his Child's own hasnt been sent. He did biometrics July 3rd application concluded email on 23rd thats two days after he got called from home office. Wish you luck!

mike099:
Hello house...I did my biome
Same here tired of waiting...
I did my biometric on 17 july 2019 at Ikeja.
Application transfered to ukvi on 17 july
Since then I have not here anything either from UKVI or TLS...
pls house I need your assistance on how to contact UKVI or link to message them.

boladet:

Response anyone??

Nobody is responding to my dilemma, is my issue boring or what, I have posted and reposted my question twice, instead different posts sideline my question , the US visa thread seems to be more responsive than this one .
Or should I just call on the gurus @Justwise,@,seyewest.

thats not true... Nigerian debit cards are accepted.. gtb, uba, sterling bank and more. Call them. Nobody here can know their time frame. Your answer lies best with the visa office

boladet:
Good morning to all, I have an issue, I submitted my daughter's passport at the TLS contact Ikeja with an authorisation from UK vi for an amendment in an error on a previously issued visa,I submitted it on the 31st of July , up till now I have heard nothing.I have sent emails to TLS and UKVI no response from them.
Question is ,does anyone know the time frame for correction of of a vignette (visa).
What other step can I take.
PS I can't make a call because they do not accept the Nigerian debit cards.

i was refused 2007, i made the application through an agent back then,all information used by the agent then was fake even my international passport was not having my correct info except my name. i was so furious after the refusal seeing those errors,i had to do another passport with my real details aftewards,i applied to us twice and i was also refused,after reading alot about people's experiences and a word of encouragement from justwise i decided to give a try,
i did my biometrics on 30th of july and i was sent a mail on 23rd of august to pick up my passport, i was given 6month on my virgin passport

i did all the application on my own even with my mobile phone
i don't have personal account except my coporate and i run all my expenses with the account,though i stated that in my cover letter.

Hello everyone,

Please i need the gurus in the house to help with my refusal.
I had a closing balance of 1.9m on the statement of account used which is also my salary account.

Na wa.

They say your disposable income is about 187k and you spending 500k, almost 3 times your disposable income looks fishy. ECO feels why would you spend this amount on holiday for 12 days.. you saved for it na!

hmm these people..

I think you should apply again. Reduce the number of days you wish to spend in the UK, that will have a significant reduction in your budget for the trip. 400k should be fine. You must not do shopping, not mandatory. That amount should take care of your flight, hostel accommodation and living expenses in the UK.

Thank you for your prompt response. How soon can i reapply please. I am thinking of leaving it till October and maybe reapply for the Xmas break.

The chosen period is quite ok. Give it time.

They refuse for any flimsy reason possible. I would definitely reapply in few months. Thank you

These are some of the refusal reasons I find very disappointing.
How can the ECO conclude that spending three times of your salary on a one time life experience vacation amounts to no good use of that money. Purely this refusal reason does not hold in the light of any immigration law and it is purely a subjective reason the ECO gave you.
ECO did not raise any flags about the transactions in your account and didn't doubt any of your document. The ECO's only concern is with his own subjective reasoning that your budget is too much when you yourself you are not complaining and its also clearly evident that you will still have money in your account after your trip and since you have a stable job, you replenish that in just some few months.

If I was in your shoes, I will actually challenge this refusal reason instead of applying because with reapplying its either you are given or an opportunity for the ECO to raise other more serious issues which would be difficult to succumb. My take

Thank you for sharing your opinion.How do i go about challenging this decision please.

Two clear issues reading your refusal letter.. your budget for few days trip is high and it makes little sense to spend that much in less than a week especially if you first time traveler to the UK.

Second issue is..the documents you submitted did not support your source of income as you stated.

The ECO was not looking at your salary but your disposable income which is significantly low after all the expenses.

Refusal hurts but the more you re-read your refusal the more understand clearly why you were refused.

If you go through everything and believe that the ECO was wrong then you can write letter of reconsideration explaining why you disagreed with the decision

[The budget was for 12 days which is approximately 2 weeks and not 1 week. The documents i submitted supported my source of income and the ECO did not raise any concerns about that. The ECO refused on the ground of spending approximately 3 times my disposable income on vacation. I had a balance of 1.9m as at the time of application and spending 500k of my hard earned money on vacation is not too much. I think the ECO refused my application on a subjective decision.

Reapply immediately and explain to the Eco that spending that amount of money has no significant adverse on you as you have worked for your money and you want to enjoy yourself too.

500K is not bad tho but work out your finances well. Don’t leave any loopholes

Good luck.

The main principle about UK visitor visa is that you must not spend more than 2 month of your monthly disposal income.

Reduce your visit to 7 days and use hostel accommodation.

Please what do you mean by the bolded? Did you read the refusal letter at all?

What should be a reasonable budget for someone that earns 300k/month after tax and intends to spend 7days in the UK?

Many advising you to reapply failed to caution that Nigerian are classified as coming from migrant high risk country. The ECO is simply saying that he expect you to be financial prudent given your disposable income level.

A reapplication will not help matter. Reducing the number of days does not matter. What matters is that the ECO view this trip has highly unnecessary and not supported by your current financial ties. Note your current financial ties is not your closing bank balance. The only way out is for the applicant to declare other income valuables. Nobody goes on a vacation to the UK on a budget of N500K unless the person is a frequent traveller and not view as an immigration risk to the UK. My take.
