It's amazing how dishonesty is so deeply ingrained in the average Nigerian's life. It's actually becoming a culture thing. And I'm no exception (as much as I try to be). One of the requirements for student visa is proof of funds. Show that you can afford it; it may be a steep requirement but it's what it is. Unfortunately, we tend to "run" it. Until now, having read this particular response to the OP's post, I felt it was OK. Shebi I have met the requirement abi? so its OK. Who cares how I met it? The UK govt actually cares....

It's really scary. She wasn't even talking about the issues in the application that led to her daughter being denied, she was instead concerned about the legality for an ECO to ask for proof of funds as tho she planned on how to go about the istrative review even before she had submitted the visa application of her daughter.


Anyway she did say she has had 2 successful istrative reviews contesting previous visa denials prior

Kill me but you are funny You are saying introducing the death certificate .. this makes it fishy. I find it hard to believe that the child’s father truly has died and with such a loss … you say it this way… ‘I want to reapply for his visa again ‘introducing a death certificate’

Be very careful…… a word is enough…

Well he did mention unfortunately

Osivao:
Please I need advice on how to move on from this point.
My sons uk dependant visa was refused on that the sole responsibility order the court awarded was based on affidavit of fact. Unfortunately the father ed away fee months later. I want to re apply for his visa again introducing a death certificate on a fresh application. How do I go about this.

You're placing or wishing death on your baby daddy's head just to deceive people so you can get a visa for your child.
 
What a made-up story! Nigerians are highly rated when it comes to lies and will tell cock and bull stories all to achieve our selfish goals.

Tell your baby daddy to go to high court and transfer the custody of the child to you, then apply for the visa again.

@Osivao

anyone with the guideline on how to invite a family memeber for graduation. I have the invite letter already, just want to know other requirements like duration and amount of POF needed, if tb test is required and many more.

Thanks

Hi Poster, how did the process go with Q life? Did you get your TB test result same day? Or how long did it take?

I used St. Nicholas Hospital at Marina.
It was really smooth. I got the result the next day.

My friend was denied a UK Visa, He submitted both his personal and business s(He has two businesses) and i am suprised the ECO saying his within 5 months showed 8 times his annual income. Its a business for God Sake, is he supposed to be running at loss and his bank remains stagnant?

I tire for this people

Please how are they wrong?
Any business generating 240 million naira in 5 months means ultimately making at least 600 million naira in a year is not a small venture.
A whooping 600 million naira… Documents, internet presence etc will show.. the person could not even provide documentation to back these claims up. What’s not fishy here?

AyodejiGREAT:
Thank you for your response, I feel relieved. Congratulations to you.
Please I would love you to tell me the documents you ed and to which section on the TLC site because I'm having difficulties with which to put under which of the sections.
Thanks for your kind response

TB test certificate, police character certificate, proof of relationship, COS, VAF Number, UK house address.
The TLC section is self explanatory once you have the right file to .

In the cover letter, he wrote he has an electronic store in Ikeja and he also owns a logistics company explained some lump sum. The ECO won't expect him to start ing of the receipts of sales from his business OR how do u present documents of payment receipts from pple ordering pickup rides everyday.

When I applied for my mom's UK visa and acted as a sponsor, i.only submitted my business bank statement and didn't even explain anything about the monet in the ..

Moving forward, what can he do differently? Thanks alot

Hey you are in the US.!!! They expect that for your company to generate such amount in the USA, a first world nation maybe it is legit and on a balance of probabilities you are more legit or at least could be credible to some extent and would take a chance on you.
I can assure you this your friend is in Nigeria, a 3rd world nation, making such claims without any proof whatsoever… and to top it all negatively… he might have no travel history or no investments or no assets. Anyone with such a profile owning a 600 million naira profit company , their financial standing would show for it.
It is not about making claims on a paper from Nigeria as you say he wrote a cover letter. Your circumstances and his are not at all same!
I can bet you this person did all this to inflate his circumstances. Do you know what it is to be the owner of a business making profits of 600 million naira annually in Nigeria? Nahh mehn. This person should everything even if there are 1 million documents . They want to see it please .
Tax certificates, number of staff, payslips, invoices, MOUs … the money they have claimed is a lot.. how many businesses in Nigeria make such..

Cashmadam:


Is the Father truly dead or you want to produce a fake death certificate?

If he is truly dead, you can reapply with the death certificate and other documents to prove he is really dead.

If he is not dead, don't go down that route. You might be caught and you will not like the outcome.

Hahaha 🤣 same question I wanted to asked .

MrSoftlife:

A whooping 240million naira was credited in 5 months.These were credits. Does that look like a small company been presented? So why no documents or veriifability presented?

Why not ask your sister to transfer the funds to your abi she no trust you lolzz kidding. ...your sister is a no no

japcee:
Good morning.

I had my first degree in UK and finished course in 2017 and left.

I am married with 3 kids and we are all in Nigeria.
I haven't gone back to UK since 2017.
I got 2 job interviews in UK which I want to go with visitor Visa.

Proof of fund is my younger sister's who have lived in Canada for 20 years.
She has upto £13,000 in her .

She is a lecturer at a Canadian Uni and has good credit history and also a fully paid home owner.
She is ready to provide any documents necessary to her .

I want to stay in UK for 10 days for the interviews processes. I could spend about £2000 in total for the journey.

So can I use her statement as proof of funds?

Thank you I'm already on it, I appreciate your response.

How long did it take after your BIOMETRIC day to you getting a response from UKVI?

It has been stated on this platform repeatedly. For visit visa, it is safer to present a personal savings statement of as POF.

If you must present a business statement of , ensure you emphasis that the money from the trip will come from personal savings.

As it is, he needs to pay himself salary for at least six months, keep his "clean" and then reapply

It's logical to explain things and not just leave them to chance. The denial is what any sane ECO will do. He could be money laundering or running the business as a front for something else. That's why when the numbers don't add up with no cover letter, it's a straight denial.

The UK is not anybody and their mother's backyard that they can just waltz into anytime they feel like it or just cos they have alot of cash. Especially when the individual's port subjects them to further screening by UKVI.

He should wear his big boy pants and provide financial clarity in his subsequent application and try to reapply in say 3 to 6 months time.


The disposable income, monthly expenditure, annual income are not things to gloss over and leave to interpretation whilst preparing your application.

Yes to first ever visa

No travel history. I kind of feel bad because UK has never been on his bucket list.

I told him to just apply so we can meet up UK and catch up, then the denial came
