Hi guys familiar with UK visa processes.

I today submitted UK visa application in Lagos here. I have a seminar in London in the next 3 weeks.

Key documents I submitted:

1, Letter from my company confirming they're sponsoring the trip
2, The letter states my annual pay, which is decently huge ( N17m). I work in the oil and gas industry.
3, My 6 months payslip


I have visited UK once in the past.

This is just a week trip.


Now, my worry: There was no bank statement (personal or company's) in my submissions. I expect that they don't expect an oil company not to be able to finance a N1m trip and the company's letter expressly confirms they are sponsoring the trip.


Can my visa be denied on the basis of there not being any bank statement? Do company letter and pay slips suffice?

Also, I understand it normally takes 15 working days minimum before UK issues visa. I have 13 working days between the date of application and my visit. I think I got for my last visit within 2 weeks. Could this application coming 13 working days before travel be an issue?

I will like to have the view and experiences of people familiar with UK visa processes on similar issues.


NOTE: Please I don't want this on front page for any reason.

My perception...........
If your questions were prior to submitting application, we probably would be able to look at the pros and cons.
But you have already submitted your application, let's wait and see................

Your clue from past experiences may guide my expectation - whether not to be optimistic or not.
