Funny enuff, even I would not accept it as a source of funds for a trip. It's an investment vehicle and liquidating an asset to fund a holiday seems ludicrous (but that can be argued though). There may have been other factors that would have led to the refusal.

Money Market Fund is savings / investment. Not an asset. It is easy to liquidate and convert to cash.

There were other reasons - the visa officer just decided to add the MMF angle as a reason for refusal.

Theo51:
Please what was the outcome? Have you gotten a mail from TLS?

Yes, @Theo51, true to the advice from the house , I got the visa today and it was dated 15th
Thank you and to all of the forum. Good things shall never depart from your household.

Elfavour:


I'm of the opinion they've made a decision on your application but since it was weekend and then the possible public holiday might have caused a delay in you receiving the mail. Because most people that receive the visa approval mail from UKVI, it's always dated like 2 days ago from when they actually receive it.

You're too much. So correct. God bless you. It came out positive

Hi everyone and good evening, please I would like to enquire about something for a friend and your sincere responses will be appreciated. So here is it, not sure of the prescise year but that's like 13/14 years ago, an agent helped this my friend to apply for a UK tourist visa with her fiance then, so the agent told them that they should apply as a couple that is already married and with kids. So she got a port in her fiance surname and the agent applied for them, as married with 2 children who are the children of her fiance sister but the visa was rejected on the ground that the funds available won't be sufficient for their stay in the UK. So now, she didn't marry the guy eventually and has changed her name on her port. She want to apply to UK now just for tourist and the fear is the children that was listed in her application 13 years ago which is not hers. How will she go about and sort out all this complications please. Thanks in advance for beautiful souls that will help out a friend in distress.

Hello house,
My cousin got a mail asking him to come pick his port but yet to get a decision mail from UKVI.
What could it possibly mean, a positive or negative decision, please we need advice.

It's positive. The letter will come after collection. It happened to me. Come back to give testimony when you get your good news. The very best and God bless

Do they now send approval email for a visit visa?

No

Only refusal letters.

Don't stress, it's an approval.

Hi, please can a dependent (I mean someone with dependent resident permit status) send you an invitation or let's say who can send you an invitation from the UK and what are the necessary documents that the person will provide? And I asked a question before this and still waiting for answer, I'm very new here and that's my first question, this makes it the second. Thanks in advance.

Let the person with BRP send the invitation. Copies of BRP and data page of port should be provided.

Thanks to all ,

Thanks so so much ma'am, I appreciate your swift response. Okay, but is utility bills and statement of of the person not needed as well. And yes this dependent has BRP as well.

13 years ago, there was already finger printing in the UK so definitely all of that misrepresentation and falsehood is on record.
The friend should go to another country for tourist visa as there are over 194 more.
Filling a new application means re-visiting all the elements of the past + more lies.

You are welcome. Utility bills add no value. Statement of only required if the person is a sponsor. Otherwise a simply invitation letter will do.

You know, the truth will set her free. She can apply and state the facts as they are. My guess is she will most likely get a refusal. However, the correct facts will now be in their system. With time (maybe after a couple of refusals), they may forgive her and give her the visa. I know two people with a similar situation and they eventually got their visas - after several attempts. Her past lies will haunt her for a while but if she is consistent with the truth and she has the financial capacity to finance her trip, she may eventually get the visa. It really depends on how desperate she is...If she is not ready for rejections, she should forget about the UK.

Thank you for your time. And thank you for the response.

I hope you have not bought your ticket.

You need to UKVI to report the error and get advice on what to do.

I no longer have the details for UKVI but I hope someone else can help.

Good luck!

What kind of visa type is it and Which tls did you took your biometric

It is for my dependant - student dependant. The main applicant already has a visa successfully approved and issued. The TLC branch is Abuja

Thes guys here are causing worries.

2 months ago, I fixed ₦8m with a bank, for trip to UK..

It would mature on 31st October and I'm submitting application in November, 2024.

Judging by the fear here, I should not bother attaching it as proof of fund even there's a certificate from the bank?

Hi, I live & work in the UK. I want to invite my mum & will be the sole sponsor of the trip, do I need to include her statement in the application? She doesn’t work & only receives pension as she’s retired.
