I suspect scam! Your sister might be a target for scam.

Did she apply for any job in the UK? what's your sister's discipline and what job is she being offered? Was an interview conducted?

Just out of curiousity, why are you *so confused right now" on behalf of your sister?

First
Have they asked for any money yet?
This could be a scam trick to rob your sister, be carefull!!!!!!
Next what is the job? check the name of the company on Google to see if it is real.
Getting people to take up so called jobs then keeping them as slaves in frequently seen.
Females are VERY vunerable to being exploited when away from home.
Don't pay any fees to agent!

Yes she applied for it.....she studied English (bsc) with some years of work experience (customer service(bank) supervisor (peppperoni)....yes an interview was conducted online.......I meant she doesn't know where to start from.

I still feel your sister is a target of some sinister motive of some people.

That occupation (if that's what she's being considered for) is not on the shortage occupation list in the UK (under Tier 2 - General), hence securing a work permit will be a cry for the moon.

Again, if the employer is willing to "...pay half of the work permit fees and air ticket fee.." They should go the extra mile, explaining how your sister can secure a work permit.

Tell your sister, there are more than a million people qualified for that occupation in the UK, why on earth will they come to the depth of Africa to employ somebody?

Scammers have gone berserk and will do anything and everything to scam people including organizing an interview and building websites to give "legitimacy" to their nefarious act.

Your sister is a target!

Please guys i need your health in vetting this.....


Unable to demonstrate maintenance funds of 7200 GBP in account for minimum period of 28 days

Firstly the CAS letter was issued to me based on the UK boarder Agency requirement on the maintenance upkeep. To this effect an Organizational financial sponsorship was sent to the school and accepted for CAS Issuance.
Secondly while filling my application under maintenance and fee( No 83 & 84) I explicitly stated that my official financial sponsor LES Hommes ltd will bear the cost of my maintenance fee as accepted by the UK boarder agency and have submitted along with the visa application , the accepted Letter of sponsorship, the Company Bank Reference Letter and the Company Bank Statement that were not referred to or rather ignored during the processing of my application .
Thirdly I am fully aware that the funds in my personal account will have been few days less of the minimum 28 day requirement and be sufficient within the application processing period. I submitted my personal bank statements to buttress the fact that I had funds of my own as support to my application as an ADD ON to my maintenance while studying in the UK. Using my personal account to refuse me entry clearance was inappropriate.
Kindly reconsider my application as I will lose my Official Sponsorship which is a rare opportunity given me to further my career as a Marine Professional as my course of study Chief Mate (Unlimited)/ HND Nautical Science could not be obtained in country and the school may not be able to issue another CAS reference letter as 6th December deadline has passed

I think its a scam, but it will be clearer to her when she is asked to pay money for visa or some other stuff. What is the name of the company or their address( post code in the UK)

Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 2 by BnBarbie(f): 5:03pm On Dec 29, 2013
@ Vicjustice, justwise; please what exactly do they mean by "total amount you have for the trip"?
Is it how much i have or how much i intend spending for the entire trip?
i also asked earlier about priority service if its still available at UK embassy but no one responded. sad
please help.

Both of them, how much do you budget for the trip? How much will the trip cost you? You need to make a min-budget of your trip to be able to answer that question realistically.

I'm not sure priority service is available for visiting visa, i think its for business visa.
