I would love to marry Cuppy, she's my dream woman

I honestly don't think helicopters are very safe actually. Crash rate seems to be high

LeoJassy:


Please how long did it take for the visa to be approved?

Biometrics on April 22
Transfered to UKVI on April 22
Transferred to DMC on April 25
Visa collection email on May 3

roak:
You have collected port now oo, and didn't share the good news

Which TLS centre did you use for your biometrics ?

I used the Ikeja center. The visa has been issued

Apowers:


Congratulations
I got mine on Thursday....last week.
Which School are you going to?

Oh it's just a visit visa bro

Naijagram:

Congratulations!!!!

I'm expecting to get mine this week

All the best man

Cashmadam:


I'm pretty sure you got the visa.

Thanks. Got it.

Naijagram:


Congratulations in advance

I got it. You were right

Thegamingorca:




Your being physically there is an id check

that port biodata copy you made for 450 naira? Lol that's what dey will look at to confirm if it's yours or not.

The last time I went there to pick it up, the id wasn't even asked.

Thanks chief, on my way there

TLS wants me to come for port pick up with iD, but the only ID I have now is the port I'm picking up and a USA driver's license. My work ID is currently being reissued.

What do you think I should do?

Naijagram:


Congratulations in advance

Really?
Well I'll come back on Monday to let you know if you're in order

Hello all, had biometrics on 22nd April, now I got collection email on 3rd of May, no other email. 3rd of May was a Friday and I got the email around 4pm (close of business), so I can't collect the port until Monday.

The suspense is killing me guys, should I expect another email stating the UKVI's decision? because all I got was the collection email so far. The application was for standard visitor visa

Why would you be needing a sponsor if you had 9000 pounds. Your approach to this chief is totally wrong. A sponsor more often than not can't help you. If you had declared the money back then and the ECO saw it, he wouldn't keep reverting to trying to understand your own personal circumstances.

Although 9000 pounds Sef will still get you a fat refusal if the amount is not plausible with what's your take home monthly/yearly.

Another important thing is a cover letter. No application should be made without drafting a 3 page cover letter to boot.

Insisting they check your previous travel records doesn't count cos circumstances change.

I hear you about the cover letter, will be sure to add it in. Thanks

giselle237:

* applicant port, National ID card
*if employee, payslip same reflecting in bank
* leave letter, letter of no objection from employer
*travel itinerary detailing what you would be doing for each day of your trip, no assumptions
* exam booking confirmations
*if retired, pension slip same reflecting in bank
*bank statements
* property documents if any
* car documents if any
*any relatives/kids/siblings/parents who are living with them
Their relevant documents
Sponsor documents (UK)
*your port/brp/visa
*your morgagte/rental house papers
*your payslip
*your bank statements
*invitation letter

Most important write a detailed cover letter explaining all circumstances well and what happened in your previous refusals. For detailed cover letter, search for sokotogudali’s example on this thread and use..

OK thanks

The onus is on you to prove that you are not a flight risk plus intending immigrant, has nothing to do with the sponsor. You must prove your own circumstances whether there is a sponsor or not. .. you as an adult should be able to sponsor a holiday for yourself if you want it, if you can’t then you shouldn’t really be bothering as anything can happen and then the sponsor is unable to fund you, you will then recourse to public funds. They don’t want that and so will happily deny your visa until you understand this.
You need to show that something must make you return to wherever you’re coming from… presenting a sponsor does not prove this in any way.

When i sent this application in 2018, I had over £9000 pounds in my personal s to which I sent the statement, I also sent letter of introduction from my work place. They should also at least have taken into consideration that I've travelled there before. I still travelled to the USA after this denial. I'm not a flight risk, i only want to enter to sit for an exam.

Other than employment letter what else can I use to show this

giselle237:

You omitted everything concerning your own personal circumstances and still declared a whooping 2 months visit to be sponsored. No nau.

Hi, can you give me advice on how to show my personal circumstances? Thanks in advance
I sent my bank statement, and my letter of introduction from work

This refusal was in 2018, I'm applying again this year

Thegamingorca:



Chief you were expected to things that prove you are a practicing licensed medical doctor of the federal republic of Nigeria, who earns monthly salary of which a sizeable amount is kept judiciously to stand as disposable income for a six month period. Regardless of the fact that you were being sponsored by someone else.

They needed proof that you have a job without expiry date with cogent reasons why it won't be possible for a doctor to go and become a burden on their government resources in the UK evidenced by letter of casual leave from said workplace.

You saying you are going to spend two months, as a doctor earning salary, they needed you to show the workings of how you would foot that bill yourself.

That's why I presented a sponsor since I know I cannot foot the bill myself. What is the essence of providing a sponsor if I still have to show that I can do it myself.
These people are not serious, meanwhile I've been to the UK 3 times before and the USA three times before for study and vacation

This refusal was in 2018. I want to apply again this year.

Please what are your thoughts on the attached refusal letter?

Please to the gurus in the house, how do I show evidence for the following in my application for 6 months visa

1. Evidence of funds avilable to you, and which are clearly accessible by you

2. Evidence of you will recieve from your sponsor including details of what is being provided and how

3. Evidence of the relationship, if any, between you and your sponsor

4. Evidence that your sponsor is not, or will not be, in breach of UK immigration laws at the time of your visit

Hello everyone, I have a question.
