bolagabriella: I donāt do private anymore, maybe after ilr (my eye see small shege when I was made redundant, since then Iāve promised myself not to go the private route). Sure, you can ask them for question as well, but make sure you inform them well ahead and probably a reminder a day to. |

Hi Elders, I am trying to bring my dad to visit by December. He runs his own business and he hasnāt been paying himself (typical of Nigerian sole proprietor business owners). Now I need advise on how to rectify his finance for his visa application. How many months of statements would need to be submitted as I was thinking of making him open an account and start paying from his companyās account at least 500k to 1m as savings for his travel. Would this work out? Or is there a better way of proving his finance? Your advise is sincerely sought after. Thanks šš¾ NOTE: he wouldnāt be paying for hotel as he would be staying with us. |
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by directonpc(m): 4:13pm On Jul 25 |
AgentXxx: Boss. I think your Dad can even use his savings as POF, and you mention in the application that you'll be covering the expenses for his trip. Maybe you need to add other stuff (including the business) as tires to Nigeria. |

Tbh, we havenāt decided yet but anyone whose finance would make the visa application easy and straightforward. kindly advise on the best method. justwise: |
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by AgentXxx(m): 9:55pm On Jul 25 |
As for the ties, we have evidence that would cover like his business as you suggest plus properties, and also I have a step sister (who is just 2yrs) and step mother who I believe should strengthen his tie back home. Wonāt they be an enquiry to his savings? Also what is needed to prove his business? Like how much would I need to show to to be submitted and would it be in form of a statement of account? If Yes, how many months? directonpc: |
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by missjekyll: 11:36pm On Jul 25 |
AgentXxx: For his business, he needs tax receipts,financial statements that show enough turnover to justify his salary from his business. Have you got those?then don't mention his business. 2nd way is to sponsor him. His ties in that case will be his young family. He is retired and focused on parenting his toddler while his wife works outside the home. He is family focused and keeps an eye on all his children even the adult ones. Thats how I would sell it to the EO to come over in December which is just 4 months away. While this arrangement is common here,it's unusual at home and you would need to sell it very hard to the EO who may not buy it. 3rd and best option: postpone till spring. He should register his business and pay tax then pay himself a salary. You pay him a stipend regularly. Enough for him to sponsor himself . It ll be spring then too and better weather 1 Like |

missjekyll: I donāt really the tax receipts are necessary ohh.. my mum has visited the uk twice to pay me a visit. Shes a business owner. On both occasions i declared her business and claimed she was paying hereelf like 300k every month. The only SOA i had to submit on her part was the account where she was receiving 300k monthly. I have never included an account of the business nor any tax receipts. Lastly after all the above, i always add my statements because i always let the ECO know that i am sponsoring her fully. |

Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by AgentXxx(m): 10:03am On Jul 26 |
Thanks for the inputā¦. How many months of SOA did you provide for yourself and your mumās account? Lolli2pop: |
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by AgentXxx(m): 10:10am On Jul 26 |
Thanks for this great input. His business is registered and he does annual tax returns but doesnāt pay himself which I plan on making him start this month end. He is eager to witness a climate different to the typical Nigeria weather so it was his choice to come during winter š Do you have an idea how much he would need to sponsor himself? We should be able to get a SOA (within 4months) to support this as he also gets income from rents. missjekyll: |

Zahra29: Hi Zahra29, Sequel to the above, I just checked the above link and it seems you were right: seems they made a mistake. They've changed the lower going rate for occupation code 3314 from 35000 to 25200. So from my understanding my visa is extendable because it says "the higher of 29000 or the lower going rate" of which my salary is 30902 annually? Can you please confirm this? |

[quote author=AgentXxx post=131152740] I would advised you be the sponsor then put his young family and business as his ties back home. For you to be the sponsor, you will need around Ā£3000 upwards in your account to proof you can take care of him. I used Ā£2800 as proof when I was inviting my mum (retiree) in December. 2 Likes |

Hi all, What are your thoughts on these mortgage deals. 2 year Fixed 5.35% for 25 years or 5 year Fixed 5% for 25 years. Thanks. |
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by directonpc(m): 9:00pm On Jul 26 |
AgentXxx: Start sending your dad like the 500K you said monthly. It will accumulate to a reasonable amount by Nov/Dec. But you should present the total balance as his savings. The source of the savings is business that he has been doing for however long. He can add marriage documents, photos with his wife, child's birth certificate and photos together too. You fit write letter of introduction too sef. If his business is not registered, it might be a bit more tricky to mention it. But you can still do that. The main should be you sponsoring him being able to afford the trip and his tires to Naija. 1 Like |

Lolli2pop: Very good angle. If he starts paying himself then Op sends a stipend, it ll build up and he ll be able to sponsor himself. Then he can use his business and his family as ties. As for coming during winter. Have you told him that everything interesting is shut during winter, that there's no sun and bitterly cold. He may end up always indoors running up the gas bill Spring and Fall are the best seasons, there's glorious flowers in spring and stunning leave colours in fall. 1 Like |

Hello Everyone, Not sure if this is the right thread for this, my apologies if it isn't. I am looking for a male roommate to share a very nice 2-bedroom apartment in Milton Keynes. The ideal person should be respectful, clean, and calm. The apartment has 2 bedrooms and 2 washrooms. If you know anyone interested, kindly reach out. Please no scammers or time wasters. Only legit interest please. |
