Have you got any clue on additional documents a sponsor might include while sponsoring an applicant,considering the fact that he intends to use his company bank account statement for such purposes.
This would counter any reasons such as documents standing in isolation or perhaps issue of origin or income of the sponsor.
The company statement is not in his name,and this is the only account he has that is quite bouyant.

Any advice please?

@VOR & others valued contributors

How do i go about the company resolution?

is it just in form of a letter or ?

Also,is there ever any document to prove relationship between a niece and an uncle?

My cousin has sent a letter stating that he would be accomodating me.Also he has attached a copy of his british passport to it.Hope this helps.He is my first cousin,I mean my sponsor's son.

My sponsor has just had some amount of money paid into his account about 2m-4million naira been proceeds from a recent contract.He would be using the bank account statement showing this funds to support my application.Hope this would be fine as it was just paid in last week and I plan to reapply within the next 2weeks.

My school resumes april 16,2007,as I have defered the admission from january15,2007 .

This school had requested a deposit of £600 which i paid even before i was refused.Based on some comments on this post,I learnt from it that the deposit was just too small.what is the view on this as i have about 4 friends who got thier visa this january without even paying a dime.

My sponsor is using his company bank account statement like i have said,but what other docs would he also include in other to soilidify and boost the financial circumstances of the sponsor.Definitely,he will include all original copies this time around and not the photocopies as earlier done.(risk of lost in transit).

What other notes and steps do i need to be taking and the time is drawing near.

Thank you all.

what combination of documents wld i submit to them this time around?

Thanx Davidylan 4 ur response,

Actually the course i intend to do is not offered in any higher institution throughout Nigeria and Africa in general.
Let's dicuss on way forward pls,I av a neighbour who is 25 years and applied for a diploma course in computer studies,though was refused initially but applied later and was given,she had not even been to a university b4 though she has an OND.I know circumstances vary actually.Her tuition fees was £880 and she paid £300 deposit anyway.
Imagine that?

Am specializing in HIV/ADIS AND STD Prevention anyway with my Sociology background, so where do we go from here, knowing fully well d antecedents of my application,

Thanx

Thanx Muyiwabank,english1 and gbeborun for your responses.

Well,in response to your contributions
-my sponsor is my uncle i.e my mum's elder brother, so am his niece i suppose, so how do i prove that
-on the bank statements, my sponsor has decided to open a personal current account in his name and lodge about 5 to 6 million naira into it,which would emanate from a just concluded contract paid into this account,and also provide evidence of the origin of funds, how about that?
-I have completed a degree in october 2006 on Bsc sociology and anthropology in one of the Nigerian universities,and the course am going for is an advance diploma in HIV/AIDS and sexually transmitted disease prevention,which is my area of speciality in relation to culture.
-Am 26 years of age
-My cousin would write a letter confirming my accomodation and include the photocopy of his British passport, but no utility bills available(hope this doent matter?), but how do i also prove relationship as he is my sponsor's son i.e , my first cousin.?
-I have paid a tuition fee deposit of £600 even before the refusal,remaining a balance of £3,300
-My sponsor intend to get a letter from the bank as regards his company bank statement,and also include originals of company registration documents,viz-a-viz Certificate of incorporation,memorandum etc
-I have defered my admission to april 2007 and i have received he letter by courier yesterday.
-My sponsor intend to include both company and personal current account bank statements

Pls once again let's share our ideas and opinions on this visa refusal and possible positive developments.

thanx

Hello Akolawole,Londoncool,Mr pataki,VOR and everyone in the house,

I just got refused a uk student visa with the following reasons as stated by the ECO,

The cost of your tuition,maintenance and accomodation is to be borne by your sponsor and you have submitted evidence of how your studies in the UK will be financed including photocopies of bank statements and a letter from your sponsor offering finanacial assistance.However the bank statement you have provided in support of your application is not in your sponsor's name and you have not produced satisfactory evidence that he/she has access to these funds to pay for your course and adequately mainatain and accomodate you whilst in the UK.In any event,in a society where forgery is endemic,photocopies of documents are of little practical value in reliably establishing bona fides of an applicant or their sponsor's circumstances.Therefore I am not satisfied this represents a genuine and meaningful offer of sponsorship and that these funds would be available to meet the costs of your studies,maintenance and accomodation in the united kingdom.

The educational establishment in the UK has stated that the cost of your tuition fees for one year is £3,900.British council guidelines suggest students require between £5,500 and £7,500 coveriung a nine month academic year for maintenance and living expenses in the UK and this assessment is based upon 2004 prices.This brings the total  cost of your studies in the uk for one academic year to £11,400.Your sponsor's financial documents do not satisfactorily confirm that you have sufficient funds to cover the cost of your studies in the UK and adequately maintain and accomodate yourself whilst there.If I am to accept the photocopies of the company bank statement as evidence of funds,I note that as of 29 september balance was N538653(£2244).Furthermore,I do not find it credible that your sponsor is willing to spend so much to finance your studies in the UK.You have not satisfactorily demostrated that such expenditure is comensurate to any benefits to be gained by your sponsor in doing so.Nor have you provided documentary evidence to show how you are related to your sponsor.

The documents that you have submitted with your application suggest that you will be accomodated by your cousin in the Uk,however you have not submitted any evidence that there is adequate accomodation available to you.Nor have you submitted evidence of your relative's immigration status in the UK or evidence that you are related as claimed.

Your account of your personal,economic and social circumstances and how you will ultimately make use of these studies and any qualification you might gain does not satisfy me,on a balance of probabilities,that you intend to leave the United Kingdom on completion of your proposed course.

Please I need your evaluation on this refusal letter asap so I will know what to do before I reapply and your contributions to its reapplication, or what next do i do?

Thanx

Omojeje
