TheExalted:


Explain your salary structure in your application and in your cover letter. Do the math and explain it clearly. 1st leg + 2nd leg=October salary, do same for each of the months affected. State clearly that covid-19 affected your company's operations hence the cash crunch that led to payment of your salary twice.

Please can I get your , I really need your guidelines

Ashirioluwa:


You can do it without invitation. You will need to book hotel for the duration you want

Sorry oh bros! Nobody knows the part of Uk you choose to visit na, so the link to tourist centers, malls and cheap hotels you want help with go hard.

As for your hotel reservation, just the print out showing your reserved dates will suffice.

Ashirioluwa:


Yes, first fill out the Pre-boarding Health Declaration and Screening form then you will pick appointment date before you make payment. See the website below

Thanks for your reply but I'm referring to the Biometric appointment for visas not covid screening.

Hi everyone,

Is there a way to know what dates are available for biometric appointments before making payment?

Just need to be sure I will get a date this November?

Many thanks

Has anyone recently applied and can give an idea of what dates are available for biometric appointments in Ikeja?

Thanks.

Thanks @alert20

Pls for the gurus... Does it mean that ports with rejected applications don't take up to 15 working days to be returned? cos some people were saying the longer ur application process without refusal email means the application is most likely to get approval. A friend of mine said his biometrics was done on the 20th of October which yesterday made it 13th working days but no email and still @DMC when tracked today. Could it be a positive sign? cos I learnt from the thread that someone who did same date with him has been asked to pick up his port.

Duration isn't a determinant of approval. Each application is different. When your friend gets a response, he gets a response.

Hi guys, I’m an Ardent reader.

Please I’d like to know if it’s wise to start my UK visit processing tomorrow.

I hope the current lockdown won’t affect it?

Thanks for all your reasonable input.

On the payment page, click on paga verve.. Then select pay by card, after that you should be able to make the payment using your bank card because the currency would have been converted to naira.. Input your card details and that will be it.

Does that mean I don't need a paga to use that option?

babs4all:

Does that mean I don't need a paga to use that option?

I think you need to sign up on paga first

babs4all:

Does that mean I don't need a paga to use that option?

No, you don't need a paga to use that option. The option to pay using a paga is different.

flinton:

Not necessary.

LoyalRoyalty:
Not necessary.

Ok

Sorry about ur refusal.
What I got out of the refusal.
1. U intended to spend 3k pounds on a holiday when ur disposable income is 491k naira. Red flag number 1 . Keep ur expenditure at maximum two times of ur dispensable income. In essence this means ur travel budget shud have been maximum 982k naira
2. Were u paying urself a fixed salary monthly as u presented urself to be self employed?
3. They also had issues with the multiple credits in ur personal of which was not ur acclaimed salary neither did you show proofs of who and how these deposits came about. In a nutshell, ECO was convinced u used those monies to inflate ur .
4. Lastly the acct statement u presented had roughly an equivalent of 4k pounds in it and u budgeted to spend 3k pounds for holiday. ECO is probably thinking why would u go and spend all ur money on holiday and have such little balance to return to. This means this person is not genuine.. ur intention was doubted.
My thoughts.

Thanks for this response .

Now considering someone who wishes to avoid such scenario, but had already put a high expenditure in the form , can this be reduced in the cover letter ..

For example , you filled in 2m as expenses , and you now claim to review same expenses as 1m or 1.5m , would this be acceptable or considered ?

Also , what column or category can I my cover letter , would it be OTHERS?

If u have not gone for biometrics, cancel the application and fill a new form.
Ur money will be refunded later on.
If ur expenses is 2m i hope ur disposable income every month is 1m?
Thats after u have removed ur monthly expenses from ur salary, what is left should be 1m for u to have expenses of 2m
Dnt shoot urself in the foot if they dont go through your cover letter

Hello dears, my friend got the below message last year when refused a visit visa to the UK - the agent lied about the duration of her previous stay in the UK although she didn't overstay her issued visa.
She's asking if this means a 10 year ban cos UKVI says she may consider applying again


You should note that because this application for entry clearance has been refused under paragraph V3.6 of the Immigration Rules, any future applications may also be refused for the same reason, under paragraph 320 (7B) of the Immigration Rules or paragraph V3.7 of Appendix V of the Immigration Rules.
 A refusal under paragraph V3.7 of the Immigration Rules may attract an automatic refusal period of up to 10 years. The period starts from the date of the previous event in which the deception or submission of falsified documents or information was employed.

Hello everyone.
I'm in the middle of filling my children's (3) application. All under age 10.
I have a valid visa.

1.How do I get their applications to be treated as one? Is it possible to link their applications? (Forms, submission, apppointment/biometrics, collection etc)
Please, note that we're using a single letter of invitation that carries all their names.

2. The cost of travelling part, is it right to fill just their flight expenses? Or do I need to include shopping, sightseeing and others?

3. Do I need to draw up an itinerary for them too?

4. Apart from their letter of invitation, host's documents, school records, birth certificates , father's payslips and bank statements, what other documents should I include please?

Thank you in anticipation of your help.

1. For form submission, Everybody has to fill a seperate form. However, link them by referring to each other wherever they ask if you are travelling with any other person. For Biometrics, Try and book appointment for same day even if it is not same time. Go at the first appointment time and let the staff at TLS know, they will merge all 3 applications into one. For collection, once they are captured together, you can be rest assured collection will be together as it is same ECO that will treat the application.

2. When i applied for my kids, all i did was put a bugdet! I didn't breakdown into expense heads. If you choose to, please go ahead and include sightseeing, transportation etc but leave out shopping(It is not a must)

3. Yes. Same itinerary would suffice for all 3kids

4. Include your current visa, expired visa's if you choose to also, marriage certificate. Their school documents will also help. You can get a letter from their educational provider addressed to UKVI to that effect.

You may wish to include that if you feel it will help you. But the fact that the trip seem to be fully sponsored by the Father is consent in a subtle way.

I included a parental consent during mine because I was the one sponsoring our trip. My payslips, bank statements were used so I had to bring in something from their father to add credence to my application.

Kids visa are easy once the accompaning parent has a valid visa and funds is not an issue.

All the best ma'am

Please my question is that: who are those making decisions on application? Are they Nigerians like us working with them or British?
