Calm down a step after the other, there’s a reason they listed 6months 2years 5years 10years. Even though you apply for for 5yrs after your 6months, they can still give you another 6months or 2years trust me they won’t give you 5years. Don’t be a SKIPPO apply for another 6months or 2years
Stop misleading people and say what you know. I applied for 5 years with newly issued virgin passport without any travel history and the 5 years was issued.

Of course they handle applications from so-called "high-risk" countries like Nigeria much differently and with more bias than those from other countries not classed as such. That's a given, no need to argue the point further. A lot of the applications turned down here and in other so-called high risk countries would be successful if the applicants either had different nationalities or domiciles. They use AI to filter out those from their so-called high-risk countries and handle them separately.

With respect to the specific case of the error made confusing Nigeria and Ghana, it is arguable that that specific intent to deny may have contributed to the carelessness, but there's no evidence for that. In any event, that person should contact UKVI and point out that their application appears not to have been properly handled, given the glaring error.


@Cyberknight God bless you with this info you have given and understanding. Every time someone gives info that opposes Justwise idea and opinion, justwise will say you are misleading people.

When the ECO are exposed, they turned it to mistake or error. I will repeat when ECO sees one mistake or missing docs in applicant from high risk country, the ECO would refuse straight without further assessment of other docs and act like they didn’t see the docs. Why do you we have to start using cover letter, years back we didn’t normally use cover letter. Let’s think about it why are we using it now? Justwise be guided and let people be aware of what’s going on around them for better future.

@Justwise think about it this way, if an ECO decided to use one missing doc to refuse and ignore other relevant docs. Which they do most times, cant such thing be called intentional act Don’t say to me I’m confusing myself, I know what I’m saying.

Recently they gave papers to people in UK a lot compare to before that’s so hard, ukno why coz they are preparing for workforce after Brexit. Before your docs can be with home office 2+ years but now so quick. Some actions can’t be proven but it exits. People aware of it would make them more prepared and not get too worried and hope for the best. Well all my opinion, doesnt mean fact though. As human we use what’s going on around us to think and give opinion.

Why about people that applied for it and got less years. Because you are lucky to get it means what bro. What is the percentage success rate of such ? Trust me they won’t give you doesn’t mean they don’t issue it, how’s that misleading. Come on let’s advise on possibility/success not probability/failure. This is what is killing us in Nigeria we work towards high risk coz that thing happened once or twice.

Just like people advising don’t bother to apply for US visit visa for now coz you won’t get it. It’s just an opinion doesn’t mean the person can’t get it. It’s just a way to explain it’s very hard to get. They won’t issue it is different from they do not issue it, you are a typical example with mentality of brother is same as step brother.

One basic problem with you is the lack of knowledge, if you have bothered to read around you would have read from people who got called for interview, cover letter is not a must if you have nothing to explain, you add cover letter just to give more details about your application.

You are definitely confused and yes you know what you are talking about but it makes sense to you alone.

This is not the same as intentionally refusing people visa.

Of course no embassy should handle application from Nigerians the same way they will handle application from developed countries.

Majority of Nigerians forged, lie and make up stories in their application, you can not and should not take a documents submitted by Nigerians, produced in Nigeria at face value, it has to be properly verified because many Nigerian can forged anything.

Yes embassies do make mistake, no doubt and when you complain with evidence they ratify it and issue you a visa.

Good morning.
Please my Parents are about submitting their visiting visa application in Nigeria and then I discovered some of their original documents like birth certificates and declaration of age are with me in UK. Please can I send the original copy to the Nigerian Embassy in London or I should just send via DHL to Nigeria cry so that they submit in person?
Scan and send to their mail. They don't need the physical document for anything

Have experienced it before, don’t mind ECOs, their intention is to refuse without proper assessment of applicant visa form.


I don't agree with your opinion. It's your responsibility to prove to the ECO that you can afford the trip comfortably, you have every reason to come back, you plan on visiting where and when you will and you will not use public funds while in the UK.

Whilst reviewing, if the ECO sees something that doesn't support the above, he can stop assessing right there. No need to assess the rest of your documents as it would be a waste of his time. Some though, just to ensure they are convinced that they have to refuse you the visa.

Hello, I’m applying for an EEA family permit, I I’m quite through but you see the part they ask you to provide your identity card, my first name on my ID card is misspelled as MANUELL whilst all my other documents bear my right name MANUEL (1 L) do I write a cover note that the disparity is an error and I’ve reached out to the appropriate quarters to correct it or or the Home Office overlooks such errors since all other details on the card refer to me and my other documents especially passport have my name with the right spelling. Please be as kind enough to help me out. Thanks.

Good day all.

I recently took a decision to try UK and Schengen visa. I want to take it a step at a time and first thing I need clarification on is on account running. I currently manage my father's business and I make a little over 100k but for the sake of this Visa purpose, I will be paying myself 300k from the business account. I can't keep all as some of this money have to go back into the business.

Pls, I want advise from experts on how best to run the account, how to make the deductions from the account. Is it okay to transfer 200k from that account to another account of mine at once and leaving 100k there ? From the 100k can I touch some of it and then replace after using the fund for whatever personal purpose I use it for?

I just want a very simple explanation on how to go about it.

Thanks

Shut the hell up and just admit you got caught flat footed.
None of your analogies relate remotely neither do dey make sense. You were wrong to say 5yrs won't be given simple.

Yes people said after 6 months they got 5 yrs or 10 yrs visa... it’s possible... but in my opinion most of these cases were able to substantially prove that there was a need for frequent travel to the UK..
Grace(real name withheld) that applied for 10 yrs after her 2 years visa... paid the total amount for 10 yrs, still ECO didn’t stamp the 10 yrs but reduced it to 5 years and no refund of her money was made.. so we can only guess how these things work.. no ECO is on this thread...

I have only heard of people applying for longer duration of visa and got shorter duration issued, but I have not seen or confirmed any. I have also saw a post here on NL where an applicant applied for longer duration visa but was issued shorter duration of visa and the applicant made a complain about it and he was asked to return his passport for them to issued the initial requested duration.

Mine was easy because my son is British, baby daddy is British, My son’s paternal family all live in the uk, I have to take him to go visit his father, grandparents and also for medical so I have a solid reason to always travel to the United Kingdom. If you have family members in the uk, you can say you would love to visit them twice a year but if you don’t have anyone in the uk, I really don’t know how that works.

@Giselle thank you least you got my point, will ignore those ones. Imagine that one said from 6months to 10years, keyboard warrior, ask for proof they will reply they can’t disclose their personal info, my friend keep quiet, you are such an example of a travel agent that give applicants high hope even though they know their chances is 10%. Some are travel agents here looking for customers.

Keep quiet bro so if someone got exam question one wrong, examiner should stop marking the script. I stated intentional act in my prev post coz eg someone provided birth/marriage cert family photos ECO could say letter to confirm he or she is your child is missing, can’t such be called intentional act. Why would the ECO ignore important docs and refused on just a letter. Many are aware that ECO wanna find reason to refuse if they could, oga nothing is misleading.

Same way Nigerians saying Nigeria govt purposely don’t wanna stop Boko Haram even white people said it, would you call that misleading. Oga everyone got their opinions on what’s going on around them.

Another eg is if you got a spouse and wanna invite him or her to come visit, very hard to grant such visa coz they believe he or she coming to join you and continue to refuse the application with silly reasons. Oga what’s that called ? They got number of people they wanna issue visa, oga if we remove intentional act from visa application, UK would be over populated. Do you know millions that want to come to live in UK.
