Hi everyone. A friend applied for her mum to attend her brother graduation in the Uk for this July but application was refused.

Her mum is a trader tejuosho market, and my friends husband is her sponsor for the trip and supporting documents were included below is the refusal letter, the fault on her part is she failed to include receipts or invoices of her mum business now she wants to reapply, is there any additional info/documentation to support this and what are chances of success if she reapplies immediately.
Please note her business is in thrifts clothing and sales in the market is mostly in cash, so her account is not properly run but she deposits via pos occasionally
Also attached are the documents uploaded also

Please kindly advise on what to do, thank you all

Sorry about the refusal. I am in the same shoe as we speak. Have you been able to reapply ?

Greeting everyone!
I am a public servant ,worked in one of the government parastal with a monthly salary of 550,000 , but inMay my leave bonus fee was paid along with my salary resulting in a higher credit for that month,
In this July, my productive bonus was also paid along with my salary causing another increase in credit.
The questions is , how will I explain these salary credit

ozymes:
If you actually work in the government parastal, your detailed payslips should indicate all these payments, so I do not see any issues here.

Cashmadam:


Sorry about the refusal.

Your Mum's account and your presentation of the facts were all over the place.

You should not reapply in September unless you want another refusal.

If your Mum does any kind of business, ask her to open a seperate account for her business.

Send your monthly allowance to her personal account. Same amount, same time every month.

While you do that, ensure she keeps her monthly expenses to the barest minimum for the next 6 months.

You don't need 5k to sponsor your Mum. She doesn't need 3k for the trip. These figures are unnecessarily high.

Advise your Mum to pay all monies related to her business in the new account. She needs to run her accounts for 6 months.

Don't pay any lump sum into her account. If you need to give her a huge sum of money, send the money in tranches.

Beef up your savings since you will be her sole sponsor.

Good luck!

She can't add it to her savings. That would be double counting. She should leave it as additional income from you.

Hello all, hope you're well. I wish you the very best in your application!

Pls I need a little clarification.

I read some of the pages of this thread but didn't see the part that clarifies:

1. Should my company address the letter of introduction to the UK embassy? If yes, to what department in the embassy or to whom.

The letter states what my company does, who I am, my role at the company and what date I expect to return back and resume work.

2. Should I date the letter or leave it without date.

3. The inflow and outflow of funds in my account since the beginning of this year averages 4m - 8m per month. But I rarely leave money in it, it's either in my savings app or it's used for business. But as I begin my application I want to deposit some amount to sit in the account till I apply (as proof of funds). I don't know if that is advised.

Thank you.

My leave letter states October so my travel date starts from October but valid for 2years.

tommaitwears:


Please someone help me

GodGraceOnly:


When is comes to statement of account, don’t just put up and explanation letter of the transactions in your account. Make sure you also attach receipt or investment or whatever document to backup your claims.

Let there be evidence. They work with evidence to know the source of the money .

Simply address why she was refused and reapply for her.

You can be her sponsor and still attach her own statement and business type

Include her pictures with your siblings in nigeria and your dad and also her marriage certificate. You can include some assets for her too if she has. Those things will serve as family ties.


Attach hotel and return flight ticket reservation for her too.

But the most thing to do is to address the reason for her previous refusal.

tommaitwears:


Please @cashmadam in this kind of scenario should she pay herself monthly into her personal account even though the business won’t yield d same amount monthly

tommaitwears:


Thank you. But I would like to know about her business regarding bank statement. Because in her previous application I submitted her personal statement because she doesn’t have a business account. So the refusal you said I should address is what I don’t know how to address.
If you could kindly take a look at my write up and refusal to explain what I could do to me. I would really appreciate.
Thanks

@ cashmadam, please I have a question regarding expenses. my girlfriend monthly expenses excluding the transactions mostly conducted for me through her account averaged to #150,000.00 which is what we inputted in the monthly expenses. I have a feeling that we've done the wrong thing so I would appreciate your advice. Thank you.

Hello all, hope you're well. I wish you the very best in your application!

Pls I need a little clarification.

I read some of the pages of this thread but didn't see the part that clarifies:

1. Should my company address the letter of introduction to the UK embassy? If yes, to what department in the embassy or to whom. - The visa officer, British High Commission.... Check Google for full address in Lagos or Abuja..

The letter states what my company does, who I am, my role at the company and what date I expect to return back and resume work. - What your Company does is not necessary really. Add your grade and annual salary.

2. Should I date the letter or leave it without date. - Date it. The date really doesn't matter to be honest. Date should be when your HR signs the letter

3. The inflow and outflow of funds in my account since the beginning of this year averages 4m - 8m per month. But I rarely leave money in it, it's either in my savings app or it's used for business. But as I begin my application I want to deposit some amount to sit in the account till I apply (as proof of funds). I don't know if that is advised. - You should not deposit money in your account as it may appear like "account padding". When you have inflows, leave some to accumulate every month over 6 months. That accumulated fund will be your savings for the trip. I don't advise you to use the account for business. Seperate your salary and side hustle account to avoid issues.

Thank you.

Cashmadam:


The transactions she carried out on your behalf will be calculated as part of her monthly expenses. Invariably, the N150,000 you calculated might not be accurate from their standpoint...
