Please is anyone able to assist me, thank you!

I do not know so much about ur situation but il try to give an overview.
Yes they are your nieces, they are minors. Aged 7 to 9 according to you.
U also wish to carry them across borders without their parents, in our time of child trafficking the Ukvi always wants to be very wary of such applications.
Biological parents when applying for visas for minors(people less than 18) and they would all be going as a family must submit consent letters to the UKVI signed by both parents to reiterate in writing what they are doing, talk more of an aunty/uncle saying the parents of the kids wont travel with them and he/she wants to take them and bring them back.

Let one parent travel alongside and bring them to the UK for holidays. This would be easier.
Or apply for one parent and the 3 kids, when the visa is out, the parent can decide not to travel.
They simply take them to the airline and declare them as unaccompanied minors.
Declaration forms for each child will be filled, you the person picking them at the airport on the other side, your documents and information would be collated from their parents at the airport in Nigeria.
They would then be given name tags and taken into ‘temporal care’ by the airline.
The airline would take sole responsibility of them, and make sure of their safety.
However the parent must wait at the Nigerian airport until the flight departs.
If there is a transiting flight, the kids would be helped off the plane by the airline when they get to the stop, cleared across the border control, taken to the 1st class lounge during any transit or waiting period and basically be pampered.
They would not stay on any queues at border control and so on, the airline staff would be in charge of everything that concerns them.
When it’s time to get on another flight, another airline staff will take them to the plane directly and make sure they are seated for the continuation of their next flight.
When they land in the UK, same airline staff would help clear them across the border and their luggage and make sure they are handed over to only you on arrival.
You must check with the airline, different airlines, different policies for this service.

I also know for a fact kids go on holiday or group excursions abroad with guardians or teachers and they are granted visas so i know it is possible and a strongly worded consent letter can work.

I recommend that the letter be signed by every non-accompanying parent with the legal right to make major decisions for the child and duly notarized.

I found a few things online , might help.
Who knows.

Hello everyone. Does anyone know when TLS will close for the festive periods? Or if biometric dates will be available to the third week of December

What about their parents? Allow one of their parents to travel with them instead of you coming home. This will save you time and money.

Let them stay home if non of their parents is willing to travel with them. I don’t really know the kind of parent that will release his/her kids to someone to cross border at this time when child trafficking is at the highest level plus COVID-19 situation.

Don’t do it. You will have a lot of questions to answer at departure in Nigeria and when you get to your final Destination.

Unless you have another agenda that you don’t want to disclose here I don’t think anyone in his/her right mind will want to go through this stress just for 7 and 9 years old girls to enter plane or to see UK.

Justwise, i intend applying for a visa soon . I have been denied three times by the uk embassy but I can’t remember the exact dates gan gan and the reasons for denial. But I think they all have something to do with insufficient funds (not exactly sure).

I think I can remember the year actually; 2008, 2012 & 2013.

Sure I intend to be honest in my next application about the 3 refusals but how do I deal with the dates and the reasons for refusal. I don’t have the refusal notes with me anymore, I can’t find them.

Your friend needs to do an invite letter stating the above (that they will cater for your accommodation and feeding) and attach a data page of their passport. They can also attach their a pay slip just to show that they can cater for an additional person. This should also be stated in the letter i.e their occupation

Scroll down the page you see the " contact" section click on it.
Click on Ukvisas and immigration.
Then follow the questions asked.

Note you will be asked to
Pay £2.74 to contact them via email through your ATM card.

I hope this is helpful.
