Yes, that's it. I only make credit transactions on it

You have to make debit too
You cant be making credit alone

Do transfer to a sibling or a trusted friend, buy recharge cards etc.
Just dont let the money fall below the required amount.

cashmyles:

It's understandable now.. and did you know if getting credited with no debit transactions while running the pof be an issue?

I dont understand. You mean you are runningba POF but you didnt make a debit transcation, am i right?

cashmyles:

That might be for the charges, I assumed

Yes

cashmyles:

I think for a 13+ months program;

IHS = £1164
VISA FEE = £490

This is what that calculator will show you.

What i typed is what you will see when you want ro pay for 1 year program.

For more than a year, it will be more

Stonebeans:
Good evening guys. I was directed to a University Agent for my ission application and while asking for required fees I need to put in place against January, he sent me this.

I saw IHS + Visa fee ($2800) for a One year Msc and I feel this might be outrageous.

Who has an Idea of what should be the right figure or is he correct? I'm going for 1yr Msc Public Health. Thanks guy. I will appreciate any useful information on this.

In pounds...the actual price for both (like when you get to the point of payment):

IHS = $1575 = £1222
VISA FEE = $663 =£511

Hello guys,

I have mentioned here before that I would want to invite my sister for my graduation taking place sometime in January 2025 and I mentioned she is not doing much in Nigeria and I have been told here that she’s likely to get a refusal.

However, I have ponder over it and still want to do the application for her. I have choose to put in the application by December 26th/27th if she gets a refusal she gets a refusal no worries…if luck run into her so be it. Refusal is not a death sentence provided we ain’t using fake documents.

Now I need help to clarify things for me from my end as the sponsor 👏

1) Do I need to show 6months payslips or I just need to show my bank statement showing the total amount of money to cover her expenses?

2) My student visa finishes January 31st 2025 but I plan to apply for PSW by January 25th 2025. My graduation is January 23rd 2025…if I apply for my sister visit visa by 26/27th December 2024 will it fly being that my visa finishes in a month time?

3) My school is in Brighton and Hove while I now live in Cambridge with my boyfriend. I plan to book hotel for my sister in Brighton and Hove…please will this fly?


4) Like I said I live with my boyfriend and the rent is in his name but the council tax I have made objection to be paying since September I relocate here so it’s now in my name and his name. Can I use council tax to show my proof of address? Will this fly?

5) I work with agency so to show proof of employment and proof of income I have plan to show payslip or letter from my agency…please will this fly?

6) Should I send the flight ticket fee for to and fro to my sister’s bank or I should leave it in my UK ?

7) Aside flight tickets the total money I budget for her expenses here in the UK is £1400 and she will be staying for 9days. Is it fair enough?

P.S: my sister was born mid 1998

I need answers guys👏

God bless you

Thank you so much

1) Yes, You have to show enough that you can sponsor her through her time in the UK

2) Put it in letter of explanation that: you intend to extend your visa legally through the PSW program. (attach psw documents to prove it here, if there is any) (what you write in LOE matters here)

3) Yep..book at hotel already, add the proofs to the LOE (if you can book hotel that can refund your money, it would be cool anyways.)


4) you can use council tax as one of proof for the visa application, it would help alot as it would prove that you are living legally in the UK

dont put too much story that is not needed in the LOE.

your sister should have some money in her too, that could also help.

state your purpose well. say her primary reason for visit is to attend grad, and also she would like to take a look around popular tourist areas (mention two or three).
The purpose matters alot, dont derail. (you can also mention the purpose of visit in your own letter of invitation).

Finally, everything is on God

davodyguy:

People have explained this many times

There various mails to expect and their meaning

Mail 1 is from UKVI called decision mail. You'll only get this mail if your visa is refused and if it's not refused, you'll most likely not get the mail.

Mail 2 is for everyone and that one is from TLS telling you to come pick up your port.

Mail 1 is what we always pray not to get

You can also get a decision mail that is successful but i believe this depends on visa type.

Visit visa usually don't receive decision mail if approved but most student visa receive decision mails if approved.

So, it depends on their system since it is always overwhelmed.

Jolene474:
Good evening, please does every applicant their documents themselves first before going to TLS to capture with some documents?
Or you either choose to it yourself from your house or chose the TLS center?

which ever one suit you.
If its self service you opted for, all your documents yourself. Go through all the documents as many times as possible because once submitted, no changes can be made.

if you want them to it for you at tls, you going to pay.(not sure, never used this option.)

Obidikejr:


I earn N1.35m a month.

How can that dependant thing work... Cashmadam earlier said If I care for my parents. How do I demonstrate that?

For the ties back home, I just started buying estate plot on payment plan, I have some documentations with my name, does that work?

Apologies, i mean you cant spend more than 3X of your monthly expenses (not salary).
Put it in letter of that you care for ypur aged parents, include pictures at the end which includes all of you. That should work.

The estate documentation should also work if it is ed and they can confirm it from their end...something like CAC

Obidikejr:
Hello Madam... And every other helpful people In the house. Special greetings.

I don't know why nairaland isn't allowing me post screenshot (

Not sure if you me, That was worried about my debits and credits that was not consistent In my and you advice to use 6 months arrange it. Well, I tried as much as possible to give reasons for the s looking overdrawn every month and every other reason I could pull up to ensure that I meet all the requirements. And then, I used strong head, tossed a coin and hoped it lands on head.

Today, I got a rejection email.

This was their reason (I can't attach screenshot I will type it out)

You state that you are employed, earning 1350000.00 NGN (£632.87) each month after tax and have 1800000.00 NGN (£843.83) in investments. You also have £563.00 in savings. I acknowledge the information you have provided in of your application.

You state that you spend 400000.00 NGN (£187.52) on monthly living cost. You state that you will personally spend 4000000.00 NGN (£1875.20) on your trip to the UK and that no one else will be paying toward your visit. However, I note that your proposed expenditure is more than your monthly disposable income. This degree of expenditure appears disproportionate to your economic circumstances, leading me to doubt your intentions in seeking to visit the UK for the limited period and purpose stated.

Other than your employment, I am mindful that you have not demonstrated any other considerable ties to your country of residence, which would serve as an incentive for you to leave the UK at the end of your proposed visit. This not only undermines the credibility of your application as a whole but causes me to doubt your intention in proposing to travel to the UK.

Given the above, I am therefore not satisfied etc etc etc ... End

In their 1st reason for rejection;

Reason 1;

Are they expecting I'd use the 1.35m average I earn monthly to pay a return ticket and other expenses i would incur in UK? 1.35m is too small to spend on the trip... Hence why their reason isn't making much sense to me, perhaps you have a better understanding of what I did wrong and how I can fix this?

Ideally i would have thought since I've been earning this much, since the beginning of the year, I should have enough balance to cater for the expenses.

But using that 1.35m to judge it is were I'm confused. So if I drop down my expenditures for the trip to the 1.35m or less, self sponsored, won't it look like I'm joking to them? Because it's peanuts and return ticket alone will swallow it much less other expenses. Although I communicated clearly id be staying at my partner's residence so accommodation was settled.

Reason 2;

They said my employment isn't a strong tie back home. My people. I'm a founding director in this company (since 2021 inception), and I head the company with my brother, I've been receiving salary through out the year from the company.

Considering this factors and their reasons for rejection as stated, Please what would you suggest I should do differently if I decide to reapply? Would you recommend I reapply ?

Lastly one of my major fears before applying was that my withdrawals and deposits in my monthly are equal (so I tried to explain clearly the reason why), I'm surprised it wasn't flagged. Maybe the explanation and ing documentation helped? I can't say. If I choose to reapply would that also raise concern so I need to rexplain again?

Sorry for the lengthy post!

Thank you all

CC: Cashmadam, giselle237 and everyone! Thank you!

For standard visit visa
You made a fatal mistake at the begining. If you earn 187pounds per month, you cant spend more than 3x of your monthly salary. So thats if a red flag.

The other one is returning back to your home country. If you are employed, you should get a 2 weeks leave letter. If you have properties, include the documents or if you have dependents..explain it in letter of .

I glanced through your writeup, i was npt able to read the last part but i hope you have enough info now.

Edited: avoid stories during your letter of . Just go straigh to point. Dont put what is not necessary and pla that the more you try to explain, the higher the probability of rejection.
So keep it short.
What you need is mpre info.

1Alex:
This one is fluent English?

His spoken English is far better than most British. Come and hear their English here, its bad. Sometimes, I doubt if I am in the right place.

Thegamingorca:


Omoh ppls reasons to request for visitor visa differ even if you have sponsor it will be your own circumstances they will want to see being explained. Three months is too long to be a burden on a sponsor anywhere in the world. Put two weeks and show the workings of what will carry you back to Nigeria after two weeks.


After getting the visa you can decide to spend 5 months straight no one cares

3 months bank statement for the applicant...not 3 month stay. Pls read carefully

Thegamingorca:



3 months is not okay oh! Put 2 weeks maximum. Why show them that you want to spend time in the UK just because you have a sponsor?

3 months bank statement...not 3 month stay. Pls read carefully.

Odbestie:
Good day everyone

I'm trying to apply for UK visitor visa, I also have a sponsor in the UK, but please can you tell me the range or exact amount of money in your bank as at when you submitted your bank statement? @Olumain4

Please can I also submit three/four/five months bank statement? Or it must be six months?

Looking forward to your reply.
Thanks.

3 months is okay.
Since you have a sponsor, the amount really doesnt matter but you should have enough for emergency.
The reason i submitted my statement is to prove i am working, the montly earnings.

davodyguy:

Basically, your sponsor is in the UK, implying that your accomodation is sorted. This will reduce pressure on your finances

Yes..
