Hello everyone, My mum visit visa was just refused yesterday. I stated on the application me and wife are the one sponsoring her and we attached our bank statements with savings of £3k for her needs.
She's a petty trader though, she sell in a very small scale which I mentioned in the cover letter attached.
The money in her bank statement is mainly money I sent her every month or weekly for upkeep and other allowance.
Please we want to put in another application for her as soon as possible, if you anybody can point me to what I need to do correctly to avoid another refusal please.
We really need her to come because my wife as to resume work as her maternity leave is coming to end very soon.
Any help will be appreciated guys.
Thank you. I attached the refusal screenshot In the post.

Hello Boss and Bosses,

I need an urgent response from experience.
We applied for a brother of ours, no refusal letter or email, we got tls email last week that the passport was ready for pickup, he picked up today and didn't see any visa vignette on the passport and no refusal letter attached to the passport.

Anybody has an idea of what can be wrong and what the solution can be?

Thanks

Any update Same thing happened to me

Hiya,

You say you have a family of 5 but 1 of your kids is American. So, he does not need to be on the application. So, I'm guessing it's 4 people then? 2 adults, 2 children. It's unrealistic to think the budget for all of you will be the same. I think your application should reflect reality and not coaching. Also, you do not just share a blanket figure. You must include the budget breakdown.

So, here are my thoughts-
Husband: Flight - £1,000 Food- £300 Transport- £200 Entertainment/Shopping- £1000 Accommodation for the whole family- This depends on how many days and how many rooms- I am guessing it is a 2 bed Air B&B for 2 weeks. You can get one for £1500. His application should therefore mention he is getting a place for the entire family.
Total Spend- £ 4,000. Then convert to naira using Oanda rate.

You aka mum: Flight- £1,000 Food- £300 Transport- £200 Entertainment/Shopping- £1000 Accommodation- You can mention that this is provided for by your spouse already.
Total Spend- £ 2,500

Kid 1- Flight- £1,000 (Depends on their age so verify this). Food- £200 Transport- £50 (It depends on where you are going and age of child. Transport for London is free for kids of a certain age; so if this is relevant to you, take note). Entertainment/Shopping- £500 Accommodation- You can mention that this is provided for by dad already.
Total Spend- £ 1,750


Kid 2- Flight- £1,000 (Depends on their age so verify this). Food- £200 Transport- £50 Entertainment/Shopping- £300 (Probably less if the child is younger or whatever the case may be). Accommodation- You can mention that this is provided for by dad already.
Total Spend- £ 1,550

A real budget will reflect actual peculiarities. E.g. Flights- kids under 2 only pay taxes. 2-11, pay slightly less than adults.
You might be one to spend more on entertainment for the kids and less for yourself or the reverse. More on shopping for yourself, les for the kids etc. Budget per child also differs depending on their age and their requirements. So, using a blanket amount doesn't reflect reality.

If dad is not travelling or applying then he has no business in the budget. So, the accommodation should be within your own budget. The budget is only for applicants. Don't complicate things by mentioning your other child's budget etc. The sponsor's account should be clean too; to prevent any issues. He can provide a cover letter of authorization and sponsorship stating how much he is supporting with, the breakdown of the budget and any unexplained deposits in the account.

I hope this helps!

Wow thanks alot this reqlly helps.
My husband is not going on the trip with usthis time even though he has a 2 year UK VISA. It’s just me and 4 of my kids . The one who is a US citizen wont b applying but will be travelling with us. Thats y i was asking if i should include him in the budget because i will provide his passport details even though he is not applying and i will also have to disclose he is travelling with us. So we are 4 applying me and 3kids

Bigkenny:


The same way applied for the first one, but don't forget to include a copy of the expired visa. Make sure your bank account is good.

Scottotas1:

Note that prices may differ if applying in person due to bribery requests (as experienced by me).

Good day all. Please friends, can someone with self employed job experience in medical Diagnosis (example, owner of laboratory) stand a chance to get job in UK?

I will be lifted if I get answer from here because I have tried all research I could but didn't get any answer. Please help 🙏

oh wow! Just put the budget for you and your three kids.

You do not need to add your American son’s details. It is not going to strengthen your application in any way. Please keep it simple. Don’t include him or you need to account for more money. Just you and your three applicant children. I don’t see why you need to include his passport for any reason.

Hi Amelia thanks for your quick response. I also want to ask where will provide the break down for the budget? Is it on the application form or the cover letter
2) As the only adult applying my breakdown should include the cost for accommodation?
3) will there be a cover letter for each Child?
4) Should the closing balance in my account include the amount required for trip as budget.
I remember applying for my husband once and they denied him because he didn't have enough as closing balance??
My plan is to sponsor myself then my husband sponsors the kids so on my application am sponsoring myself. Hubby sponsoring the kids. Is that a good idea
Another option applying alone get the visa then apply for the kids.
I feel like it's easier when it's you. Pls advice
