REASONS FOR REFUSAL NRA v 1.0 You have applied for a visa to visit the UK. In deciding whether you meet the requirements of Appendix V: of the Immigration Rules for visitors (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/immigration-rules/immigration-rules-appendix-v-visitorrules), I have considered: your application your immigration history The decision I have refused your application for a visit visa because I am not satisfied that you meet the requirements of paragraph(s) 4.2 of Appendix V: Immigration Rules for visitors because: You state that you wish to travel to the United Kingdom for 15 days for tourism. While I acknowledge that your sponsor proposes to bear the cost of your visit. However, I must take into account your personal and economic circumstances in your home country when coming to my decision.
You state you are employed as a Customer Service Officer earning a monthly salary of 89020.06 NGN (£184.70 at an exchange rate of £1 = 480.00 NGN as per oanda.com on 09/10/2022). In support of your application, you have provided an employment letter, payslips and bank statements in your name. While I am satisfied that you are employed and receive a salary, however, the bank statements show deposits made into the account which are in excess of your total claimed income. You have not provided any details on your application as to the origin of these funds and I am unable to determine this from the statement or the other evidence provided. I am not satisfied that the funds held in your account are under your exclusive control. I am therefore not satisfied that you have provided an accurate reflection of your financial circumstances in Nigeria as stated on your application. Additionally, I note a bank balance for account number ending 5363, this shows a balance in USD. However, as this is just a balance I cannot determine where these funds originate. Therefore I cannot confirm that you have sufficient funds available for your visit. You state that you earn 1,000,000.00 NGN (£2074.86) a year from another income. However, with the information you have provided you have not demonstrated how or that you are in receipt of these funds as stated on your application form. As such, I am not satisfied that your personal circumstances are as stated by you which leads me to doubt the credibility of the statements made in your application form and your intentions for visiting the UK at this time. In light of all the above, this leads me to question this application, your intentions for this stay and that your declared personal and economic circumstances are as you portray in your country of residence. Consequently, I am not satisfied that only a short visit is intended and you will leave the UK after this trip. From the information on your application form and the documents you have submitted, I am not satisfied that you intend to leave the United Kingdom or that you are genuinely seeking entry as a visitor. Your application is therefore refused under paragraphs 4.2 (a) and (c) of Appendix V: Immigration Rules for Visitor Hi.. Sorry for your refusal. When you are applying for visitor's visa, that part of the form where they state how much you earn on a monthly basis and how much you earn from other sources should be filled with caution. My advice to people is analyze your six-months bank statements yourself first before putting any figure in the application form. It can happen that you received a huge amount of money due to many reasons. You may sell your car, obtain a loan from your company or someone might even ask you to keep money for him/her. If you have any huge deposit, please explain it in a cover letter. Explain every single deposit above your normal income. For the USD account, i'm not sure what the visa officer said, but if i understand correctly, he just saw closing balance, there is no inflow/outflow which means no transactions for the last six months (if you provided a six month statement), this also would be queried. If you have a bank account with no transaction for the last six months eventhough there is a balance, its either you take time to explain why, or you don't include it in your application. All the best! My advice to everyone again is what i call "work-back".. Which means work back from your bank statement to your application. Don't fill your application from your head without having enough evidence to attach. If you earn 1 million from other sources, and nothing like that adds up from your bank statement, even if its true, you should be careful. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Kiki25: Hi guys. So I've been following this thread for a while because i want to apply for a UK visit visa. I'll be visiting a friend who will be providing accommodation and also fully sponsor the trip. I've actually started my application but I just need some advice regarding proof of fund. I know I'll submit my sponsors SOA, and that I'll have to submit mine as well. But the thing is that the closing balance on my salary account is very low...less than 20k sef. But I have other source of income going into another bank like money from friends and family and some freelance jobs I do. So in the application, should I select that I have other source of income and provide my bank statement to prove it? If yes, does it mean I'll be providing 3 banks statement( my sponsor's, my salary account and my other other)?
Also, I selected that I having savings as well, I use piggyvest for my savings, do I need to provide SOA for it as well?
Please help guys �� yes, please provide your statement of account and other documents to prove you are not a flight risk |

Hello house,
Please I will need ur advise on this, my parents are planning to visit my brother in the UK and my dad will be sponsoring the trip. He is self-employed and owns a company.
My question is 1. Do my mum have to upload her personal statement 2. Is it a must that company name be active on CAC portal. Bearing in mind they age (63 & 60) and have properties and investment to prove they are going to return back to nigeria.
Thanks. |

Greetings everyone Please I am in a dilemma on my uk visa. I applied as a depedent under my father student visa. I did my bio in Aug 5,2022 In Sept 6 , additional information of my parents visa application was requested stated as follows
"Paragraph ST 34.2 States - Child applicant’s parents must each be either applying at the same time as the applicant or have permission to be in the UK (other than as a visitor) unless the parent with permission as a Student is the sole surviving parent or has Sole Responsibility for the child’s upbringing • Please provide Details of your parents Visa application to travel with you to the UK or proof in the form of an official court document to evidence that the parent that you are travelling with has Sole Legal Responsibility, however this must not be only in the form of an affadavit.
My mum did not apply with me because of her Job and my kid sister who needs to write waec next year may/june and my father doesn't want to claim Sole Responsibility and we saw the following rules in home office website:
Exceptional circumstances - serious and compelling circumstances While you should normally be satisfied that a child is either joining both parents, or the work or study migrant is the sole surviving parent, or has and has had sole responsibility, there may be exceptional cases where it is appropriate to issue entry clearance. The following list is not exhaustive, but are examples of scenarios where it may be judged that there are serious and compelling reasons to grant the child entry clearance or permission to stay with the parent with permission: • due to employment or study commitments, one parent is delaying their entry to the UK • one parent is travelling to a territory for reasonable purposes which makes it impossible to care for the child or children for example the father/mother is travelling to a country where it would not be safe for the child or children to join them • one parent is travelling to a territory for reasonable purposes on a short-term basis such that it would be unreasonable to expect care/schooling arrangements to be made for the short length of the trip • one parent is receiving medical treatment abroad and plans to join the family
We sent a letter and affidavit explaining why my mother cannot join me and did not apply with me. On Oct 6, I was sent a refusal mail because my mother does not hold a valid uk visa and has not applied for a uk visa. It was also stated that I can apply for administrative review.
I applied for a foundation year programme earlier this year in a uk University and got accepted but it was withdrawn last month because I have not uploaded my visa.I have again applied for another uni and I am awaiting decision.
If I apply for administrative review and show them that I need to start school,will it be compelling enough for me to be granted a visa..
Thank you all ,please I need advice urgently |

i didnt lie,everything i presented was true i have a registered business but i decieded not to present the CAC because i use my personal account for my transactions,transactions has been consistent on the account and it has a balance of about 2.8 and usd balance of 5,363dollar for the past 6months.i have been working for the past 9yrs which my employer stated on my reference letter, are they now telling me that i could not have saved upto that amount in my account,i have been travelling to turkey to buy goodsand sell whenever an on leave
my brother was the one to sponsor my trip and he wrote a letter of sponsorship, and i submitted all the necessary document needed from him,i even submitted family picture and land document as home ties i only attach my statement to prove that even if they doubt that my sponsor couldnt sponsor me that i can pay for my trip. because i have seen someone they rejected because she used a sponsor and did not present her personal statement.
for me the reason for the denial is just uncalled for.

Because of the poor packaging of your application, the majority of visa officers won't believe your story. You should have included all the necessary documentation to support your claim, as well as the source of your supplementary income. With these balances in your bank statements, I don’t think you need a sponsor. All you need is packaging. 1 Like |
