Good evening. I have a question
My sister just got into uni this year(100lvl) and she wants to apply for a visit visa so as usual we asked the school for a letter of introduction but they refused to give one because she is still in her first year. What I will like to know is if her school ission letter as well as Jamb ission letter will suffice as a relationship with the school because that is what we intend to use to show her ties back home. Thanks

she can wait. Introductory letter is the most basic thing to have OR attach school fees receipt, levy receipts, id card, result sheets, timetable and any other evidence of currentschooling

Write a cover letter introducing yourself, job title then mention you are inviting your mum for a visit but don't mention omugwu/childcare. You can say she is visiting to see her grandchildren. Mention that she will be staying with you all through her stay that her flight, accommodation will be sorted by you.

Include her bank statement, it's very important and also, if she is currently working or retired add the letter(pension letter if any).
Attach your tenancy agreement, council tax, letter of invitation from you as well as the cover letter.

Your mum should write cover letter as well.

All the best.

Hello Everyone,

Kindly look into this.

The person owns a small scale business as an area distributor of forever living products, she already ed the business so she has ​CAC.

She is using her personal because thats where most clients pay into, she has balance of 2m in it and Husband will be sponsoring and has paid 2m in to the for that making a total of 4m He is also writing a consent letter towards this.

She is going to visit a friend and her new baby....her friend has sent her uk port data page.....her tenancy agreement, her employer contract.

She is going to spend 2 weeks.

On the application, she stated her annual income is 1.8m that's 150k monthly from the businees, she spends 60k monthly.

The question that says how much will you personally spend....she inputed 500k

She wrote in additional information her circumstances of her business and why she is using her personal and her husband paying money to sponsor her.

Also her bank name is still her maiden name not her married name.

Please we need your advise on what else she can include and documents to .

Pardon me I am new in the Community

Hello Nairalanders, My mum’s visa application was just refused. She intends to visit my brother who is on a tier 4 visa with his family. He just finished from school and has his graduation coming up. I am fully sponsoring my mum for this trip and I included my bank statements, and all the details as regards sponsoring. My mum is retired and she included her bank statements and everything that shows she gets her income from family because her pension has not been paid. She also attached her retirement letter. She has also been to 2 countries as travel experience, which I sponsored. Please find attached the refusal letter and I would like to know what to do. Should she reapply and what should we do better next time because I really can’t understand their reason for refusal. Should she reapply and get a letter from the pension board affirming that they have not paid the pension or what else should we do?

mine too was refused. I'm using a sponsor and it's stated clearly there that the sponsor will bring 1200pounds while I bring 500 but the entry person just overlooked everything about the sponsor, his deets statement of but just concentrated on mine. That's so bad

Please, dear nairalanders, how long will it take me to reapply for a visa. This time around, student visa not tourist visa cuz the tourist visa I applied for was refused today. Thanks

Yes I think so.
I saw a couple come for walk in today at ikeja.
They were told to wait for the staff to confirm something. Maybe their payment

As soon as you have met/not met all requirements for student's application. However, best would be when you must have met all requirements.

of course, she could reapply, she wants to go visit her son and the family which is within her rights, but she must be able to convince the eco that the purpose of her visit is true. Her previous work place should provide her with a letter that explains she's not been paid her pensions for few months and maybe give reason, also narrative of her personal circumstances should be addressed better, such that it is convincing,
