Age has nothing to do with marriage as far as it’s above the legal limit of 18.

It is also not a problem factor in an application so far the required documents are submitted.

The fact that you had to ask makes me wonder…

To the experts in here, please an advice needed.

I’m currently unemployed but i have someone that sends me money to my domiciliary account regularly from abroad but i don’t want to use the Dom account statement for visa processing rather my Naira saving account. But the issue is there are some large deposits that reflects on the account which only comes in when i changed my dollars to Naira through my exchange agent.

I understand one of the reasons ECO gives for refusal sometimes is large unexplained deposits that reflects in an account.

Although i just started a business and got it registered under CAC, and i also have some landed properties documents and marriage certificate with my spouse which i believe would be some supporting documents.

I have converted and saved some money to my Naira account which i want to use but how do i explain how the money came about?

Remember it’s only when i changed some dollars large deposits comes into my account.

Currently i have 7.1 million in my savings account which is £12,435.7 as of today on Oanda.com but how do i explain where the money comes from?
*Note: My savings is mine and my expenses are different monthly, how do i explain where it says how much i spent in a month and how much i earn, the money i receives is not a basic amount too it comes in different amounts anytime.

Attached SOA is when last i requested my statement of account and ever since then i stopped withdrawing much to be able to save but the statement shows how money keeps coming in and going out with all my expenses even for the last one year if they need a year statement.
Thanks

It smells like a refusal already as you have to explain the source of the money which you don’t want to(ie foreign currency that you convert into Naira).

When you stop withdrawing you make your account looked fixed and £12k is quite a bit of money for someone who is unemployed.
I would advise;
A.Get yourself employed.
OR
B.Run your company account for another 3-6 months so it generates “verifiable income” and pay yourself a certain amount monthly.
OR
C.Include the Domiciliary account and the person who sends in money regularly as a sponsor.

Landed property and marriage certificate show ties to Nigeria but is no proof that you would not seek recourse to public funds.I hope this helps.

Please I just graduated from school and I've been sent an invitation by the British Army to come for my assessment but I dont have heavy statement of Account...please can I use someone's else bank statement or what can I do?

You don’t need a heavy bank statement for visa application if your application is genuine. However, you do need to show your travel expenses and that you can sustain yourself when you are in the country. In your case, since it’s for an assessment, indicate your trip if for a week for example. If you have where to stay, then it’s even better as you wouldn’t need to show proof you can afford accommodation

You're welcome. attach your tenancy agreement. you can attach your payslip or bank statement. PS: although it's good if you submit your payslip or bank statement, it wouldn't necessarily be a cause for rejection. Make sure she also submits are regular bank statement to evidence she can afford her flight ticket.

My dad stated in his financial consent letter that he would be the one to pay for her flight ticket and her pocket money. That is why I wanted to know how much she could put down as her spending money out of the statement containing 3m.

For me, I don't have a regular job because my professional course leaves me with little time to work due to placements and I have childcare too. I managed to do some hours earlier in the year, but that's about it. Though I have a mutual funds account in Nigeria, can I present that?

In view of the information, like what percentage of the statement can she present as her spending money?


Thanks as I await your kind response.

There is something he isn’t saying. Cos marrying older women is rampant abroad so I don’t see why the VO will see that as a problem since it’s nothing over there

Pls can someone help me with the link for making payment.
I'm yet to submit my form though
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 5 by LaShawn: 7:09pm On Apr 02, 2023
Good evening all. Please am I allowed to fill the visa application for my mum? Does she need to give me a written permission? Because I learnt there is a declaration now asking if it is the owner filling the form for themselves or if there is someone else filling it for them.
I am just apprehensive because if I fill it, it will be faster as my mum is not too computer savvy, but with help, she will fill it by herself (she can type well).
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 5 by Segun889: 7:42pm On Apr 02, 2023
LaShawn:


It’s okay if her husband is covering the cost. So you need to check the average cost of flight to uk at the moment (eg £600 and extra £300-400 for stipend depending on how long she is staying there). If she isn’t going shopping, 3M (approx £5232) will appear as a lot. Remember, to use oanda to calculate estimates.

YES you can help your mum complete her application and You don’t need a written permission to help her do so.

Now my first question is, will it best for me to invite her myself or my wife. Thanks for your appreciated answer.
