Please house, I need your contributions. I am about to apply for UK visit visa. My monthly salary is 300k, monthly expenses is 90k, Budget for 10 days trip is 500k, I will be getting leave allowance of 290k. Is my budget for the trip good enough? I don't have any host in the UK.

tshoboy:


Done!

So I think your Flexi Appointment date doesn’t matter because what I did was just to mention Flexi Appointment (Walk In) at the security post. They collected copt of the appointment email and first page of our application forms.
We then joined the queue inside and in another 20 mins, I was called in to the reception where I made payments. I was directed upstairs where someone scanned the passports and gave us collection document. Then we were captured in some mins.
This is my best Visa service. It was fast and stress free. The whole process took about 1hr 45mins. Maybe it’s also because I did Self Service and I didn’t need to carry too much documents and papers around.

Now it’s time to pray and hope the results comes out in time.

Thanks to everyone supplying people with info here.

Hello Gurus in the house,
Please, I need your advice. I'm currently in the UK on a spouse visa, I'm expecting my first baby due by March next year. The thing is I want to invite my mum to come visit in order to help me out, at least in the first two months. My questions are:

1. Is it ok to invite her a week or two before my baby is due as I'd really love for her to be here when baby arrives.

2. Will 2 months stay be too much considering it's her first visit to the UK?

3. She's a little over 50 and does business, though recently registered with CAC but don't pay tax or anything. My husband wil be sponsoring her entire trip. Will the above hamper her chances?

4. My dad's late. How do we handle the issue of ties to show she'll leave after the visit.

5. Finally, roughly how much does my husband need to have in his account for the trip. I have a faint idea of documents we need to show, but will really appreciate any input.

Thank you.[sub][/sub]

hello house..thank u all for d advices and all...its a blessing to be in dis forum..on my way for submission...I leave all to God to Perfect....thank u all

giselle237:
2 months stay is a lot for. 1st time... reduce it
Kindly read this thread’s part 4, someone had same omugwo story and inviting her mum with her husband sponsoring... her experience might help pending when the gurus answer your questions
She reduced the stay in the application form to 2 weeks and was granted...
When ur mum is granted, on her trip just make sure she has a valid return ticket without a long duration
She can always come back a second time to visit you on that same visa..

BizBloke:


Veacon, hiya!
I can answer about 4. Hopefully, number 5 will be answered by others.

1. Yes, it's okay. So, this totally depends on you i.e. when you intend submitting the application for her considering response timeline from UKVI & peak period delays.

2. I think I agree with the response you got earlier. 2 months for first time visit feels long to me; 1 month, 1 week should be fine.

3. Not so sure about this but why not pay tax at the close of business this year and then apply early next year? That gives a time bracket of 6 weeks to get a response from UKVI. Her business will/can serve as home tie, amongst others.

4. Her business is a tie. Does she have assets in Nigeria? You've got siblings - are they in Nigeria?

5. I'm not sure about this. Cc: Justwise

I hope the answers help.

Veacon:


Thank you BizBloke... really do appreciate.

I think I'll do 1 month 1week as you advised...I hope it flys.

I get you...thing is she started her present business in April, so close of business should be about same time next year.... really confused on how to go about this.

No she doesn't have assets. My siblings are over 18...one is studying in Ghana and the other just finished, do you think presenting them will suffice?
