Hello @justwise and other profs here,...

Please I need a little clarification on uk study visa application as per the Acct statement thingy that needs to show evidence of capacity to pay school fees and living costs for program duration. The 28 day period that I need to have ds money in ma account, is it up until when I pay for my visa application fee or when I am invited for interview.


Thanks

Yes he can sponsor her as long as he can afford it without using his business capital.

He needs to show proof of source of his income, proof of relationship with your sister and accommodation in the UK.


Are they engaged?

You really don't have any other option now than to use that account.

What you need to do is to explain in details how you run your business, how much profit you make monthly/yearly etc.

Do you pay tax?

I applied for a UK visitors visa but got refused, find below a part of the refusal letter-

You have stated on your application that you are single and employed as an ....... and earn 210,000 NGN (£668.63) per month. You have provided an employment letter and payslips to support this.

• You state that you have £1,800 available for your proposed trip. As evidence of available funds you have submitted bank statements from .... Bank and ... Bank showing combined funds of 910,871.76 (£2,900.17). I do not find it credible that you would spend almost two thirds of your savings on a holiday given your personal circumstances. This causes me to doubt that the purpose of your visit is as stated.

• In light of all of the above I am not satisfied as to your intentions in wishing to travel to the United Kingdom and will leave the UK at the end of your visit. Furthermore, I am not satisfied that you have sufficient funds available to cover your costs whilst in the UK without working or accessing public funds. You application for a visit visa has been refused under paragraph V4.2 (a) (e)

Any future UK visa applications you make will be considered on their individual merits, however you are likely to be refused unless:
• your personal circumstances change significantly between now and your next application
• you provide compelling new evidence with your next application

I want to reapply, what advise can you give me? Thank you

You have made the classic mistake of proposing to spend most of your savings on a holiday.
The visa officers look at this and believe that with no funds left you will not return home.

If you want to travel you must build up a much larger fund in your bank.

Yea, a mistake I must admit but I misunderstood the questions on the form. Anyway I have 1.1m in my account now and plan to reduce the amount on the proposed trip to 1,100GBP

Bosses in the house. Please help.

Has anything changed since the last time you applied?

Good day people, I need more light on this question. I was called some days back that I would be following my project supervisor(school) to a conference in the UK, and its just for a week. This would be my first time of travelling out. pls guys like how many month visa do you think I can have assess too?

justwise:

Thank you @ Justwise

I got this refusal last week, my salary for last month has been paid and I have about 1.1m in my account. My friend that gave me an invite also said he can write as a co-sponsor..also I plan reducing the amount I will spend on the trip from the initial 1,800GBP to 1,100GBP.

Thank you.

Hello people, I actually applied for and got my business visa, thanks to your advice. Now comes my dilema, cliche as it may sound ... I want my husband and 2 kids to join me in the UK after the training, so please my questions are:

1. My husband doesn't have a tax clearance so I plan on sponsoring since I have a job and good travel history (husband n kids have been to schengen countries and south africa). Question is, can I sponsor without raising any suspicions?

2. I have a joint investment accounts with my dad and my husband (separate accounts), but not enough in my current account. Will the ECO rely on my current account balance only?

3. If I'm sponsoring, do I need to mention to joint account with hubby? cos it doesn't make sense to me for wife to sponsor n present a joint account with hubby. they may as well both sponsor the trip.

pls if we don't have a good chance, I need to know so we don't throw money away. we can visit another country and do UK some other time.

Thanks very much. really anticipating your response.

thank you justwise,they are not just proposing.plz since the guy is a buisness guy what n what should he provide for himself for the visa application..how many months proof of funds and can he use a company account.plz enlighten me.thank you for ur efforts i know its not easy.

Bro I also run my business from my personal acct and pay individual tax ...I've applied twice and gotten the visa on both occasions ...just add receipts invoices etc that correlate wit heavy deposits in ur acct also give as much explanation as u can in d additional info box

No he can't use his business account but he has to include it in the application as a proof for his tie to Nigeria and source of his income.

The money for trip has to come from his personal account whether savings or current account.

He also need to attach his tax receipts, business registration paper and other properties he may have....car, houses, shares/other investments

At least you pay some sort of tax, like I said before it all down to how good you put this down in your application form, explaining clarify how you run your business and also remember that you are likely to be called for an interview so you will use that opportunity to clarify things.
