My income from my business comes into my savings , and my rent from tenants and sales of other real estate properties comes into my personal savings sometimes.
I really appreciate your response, thank you and God bless.

In my humble opinion, one parent has to go. These are minors.. 17 years and 14 years. No ECO will turn their eyes away from this fact. Minors. Have they embarked on such a trip alone without their parents before? And now the person picking them on the other side is an Uncle who is not subject to immigration control. What is special about the trip that they have to be allowed to go without their parents? This is how to think about it. What are both parents doing tht neither can accompany their kids on the trip.
This is not school or medical visa. Tourism.. This is an uphill task.
Then your financials as you have described are not straightforward. Recipe for unpredictable results.

Good evening all,
Please can one use someone abroad as sponsor for a visiting visa to the UK and what are the requirements needed by the sponsor
Thank you

Good evening all.
Please I have some questions
1. For someone that wants to apply for a visiting visa by october and doesn't have a sponsor, how will the person go about the proof of funds?

The person is being owned salary for 5 months now but will be paid by July. The arrears for the 7 months will amount up to about 2 million. How will the person go about the proof of funds factoring this

What's to say the company won't owe him the next 2 months leading to when he applies.

His application is already shaky. That arrears that will be paid soon will paint a huge red bullseye target on the back of his application.

The minute you start explaining, your case will be sealed and an imminent refusal will be enroute.

These ppl have no comprehension of how a living thing can go about without salary for months and still stoically work there even when all indication screams that the company doesn't need you.

If he has saved up a nice amount of cash he is better off getting a different employer and taking charge of his income in a different with which to present to the ECO. I will advice him to sincerely defer that application and wait till he has settled his finances accordingly.

He wouldn't want to dig his own grave with that bank statement trust me.

Sponsors is a double edged sword.

If he is someone upto the age of fending for himself, this will spell doom if he is not employed or employable or if he is employed and earning peanuts. The ECO will keep reverting to your own circumstances as an excuse to refuse you.

You will find problem if you don't impress the ECO about what will tie that applicant back to Nigeria like work etc

He will find problem if his sponsor is in another country like USA, Canada or Malaysia and not in the UK

He will also find problem if the sponsor is not a first degree relative

Shadybeauty:
Please, how do I check if my company is active on the CAC website?

It seems not to be an open source information any longer.

I accessed status like 2 months back without any qualms but few weeks later, it was no longer showing company status.

https://search.cac.gov.ng/list

Update***
Company status has started showing again.

I would like to know the exact things UK immigrations would ask from someone going to the UK during the checks before boarding ?

Are COVID tests and vaccinations still necessary and are there other things a traveller is supposed to know please

We (I and my wife) are inviting my step mom for graduation but I need some clarifications.

My mom works as a civil servant but it immediately the salary comes in. She withdraw it for her use.

1. Can I use her statement to show that she earn salary? (Her balance is 0

2. Does she need an introduction letter from her place of employment or letter for Permission to travel? If it is an introduction letter what should be the content?


3. What document can we show that she is my step mom?


Thanks

Good evening.
She earns a salary but withdraws down to zero Naira that defeats the purpose of submitting her statement as she has no money.Would you both be responsible for 100% of her travel and needs?.

They will ask you one last time to offload any palm oil you may be carrying before you board the plane.

They will even search your luggage if you dare them or you think they are joking.

At MMIA Lagos, the UK immigration will tell your pilot just before takeoff to halt on the runway tarmac midway to attaining flight velocity so dey can drive over to re-search the plane for any contraband again.

To all our seniors in the house.
Please help with responses.


If one has gotten a job in the UK and currently holds a valid tourist visa. How do they change status? Does it require coming back to Nigeria and reapplying for work visa?


Please advise accordingly.

Hello… why can’t she just stay with her friend throughout and reduce trip duration to 7 days max. That way she’s saving on hotel bills and reducing the complication with her application? I can’t tell you if the 700k would be seen as too much because I don’t know how much is saved and spent from her combined income monthly….

No, it won’t work. She needs a dollar card that’s tied to a dollar funded domiciliary .
