3sha4lyf:

In addition to VicJ's suggestion, may I also suggest that you include a cover letter, detailing the documents you include in your application AND "your reason" for including them as supporting documents.

For example, in the letter, you can write "please find attached the following documents to support my application.
1) MR. Xyz' salary account from ABC bank to show income claims from zzz employer.
2) MR xyz's savings account from Gtz bank which will cater to our travel during the proposed trip ,
Etc.

Be careful about the photocopies of the accounts you included in your past application so that they don't "deliberately" use it to assess your application "by mistake, If you get what I mean. Highlight it in your cover letter that it's to indicated that the previous decision did not consider the salary account details, for example. Also be sure to address other issues raised. It's painful but You gotta toughly do it and I'm certain all will be well.

HTH

Thanks for the heads up.

He put in his salary acct in the application , the visa officer probably didn't take a good look at the documents. I was thinking we should make photocopies of the statement and state on each Salary, Current and Savings and also highlight the salary received in the salary bank statement to avoid the same problem again. Do u advice i put my own statement in the application. i'm not well funded but it shows that he sends money monthly to my acct.

Vicjustice: With my understanding of your circumstances as explained, i don't seem to observe the real reason why your applications were refused, except perhaps there are indeed discrepancies between the stated amount that your "partner" earns and the actual documentation of the earnings.
Address the discrepancies and re-apply: and if you think there is need to explain something, you can add the explanatory letter, Remember to KISS the script. KISS = Keep It Short and Simple

Update!

After about 10 business days we got a text to pick as our visas have been processed.

We were refused the visa my self and my partner. My refusal stated thus;
You have applied for entry clearance along with your husband and have stated that he is paying for your visit. I note that this application has been refused and you have not provided satisfactory evidence of your own funds or financial circumstances. I am not satisfied that adequate maintainance and accommodation arragements are not in place for your visit. In the absence of further evidence i am not satisfied that you will be able to adequately maintain and acomodate yourself without employment and without recourse to public funds, or meet the cost of your return or onward journey from the uk. ( i am not married, i applied as unmarried partner but we have a 3 year old child, i wonder why they stated husband).

My partners letter stated:
*You have been employed with xyz PLC as xyz position and earn xyz naira per mont. You have also submitted an employment letter to confirm this part of your application.
*However, your stated income is not reflected in your bank statement. Whilst i have taken into consideration all documents presented, i am not satisfied with your personal circumstnces are as you have indicated.
* In light of all the above, i am not satisfied with your intentions in wishing to travel to the Uk now, i am not satisfoed that you intend a short visit only to the Uk and that you will leave the Uk at the end of your visit. I am not satisfied that you will be able to maintain and accomodate yourself adequately in the uk or meet costs of your return or onward journey from UK.

He put his salary statement in the application and i believe the Visa Issuing Officer did not see it.
His Current acct had a bal of over 3Million naira bal
His savings had abt 1M bal
His salary acct - abt 600k bal
Landed property documents
Shares certificates- various
Letter of introduction from his place of employment
Leave Letter stating leave with pay
6 months pay slips
My green card
My sons passport data page (US citizen)
Copy of his tax id card
Flight and Hotel booking
pictures

We want to reapply, whats your take on it. Kindly note that i have an acct but it isnt soo funded as i am in nigeria temporarily. and my partner is still the one sponsoring myself and our son

SashaPride: Hi.

New to this forum! My question is regarding my (tourist) UK Visa Application I intend to submit next week. We pln to go to London for 7days.
The story is long but pls bear with me.

I am a LPR(Legal Permanent Resident) of the USA (since 2011) and i have a son who is a US citizen. I'm still in a serious relationship with his dad but not engaged. My self and my boyfriend have traveled together to Dubai, and that's it. I'm currently in Nigeria( for a while now) and he wants to plan a trip to UK I have my Green Card and re-entry permit to go back to the US as i've been out of America for more than 6 months. He is paying for the trip 100%. He is gainfully employed with a salary of abt 300k a month. He has a savings account with a balance of about 1M naira, Landed property, another account with over 2M as he recently got paid benefits from his late mum pension from one of the pension administrative banks. I assume that payment will show as a lodgement and we requested a letter from the bank to show prove which they declined. I am not employed as i don't live in Nigeria and i cant tender my bank statement and work history in the US, as i have been away for more than 6 months. I Urgently need your advice on this matter. Find below the documents we currently have for submission

SashaPride:

Plan to visit Buckingham Palace, London Eye, Hyde Park, The Shard, Sea Life London Aquarium, Tower Bridge, Churchill War Rooms, London Zoo, Big Ben, House of Parliament, Tower of London, Piccadilly Circus, Trafalgar Square, Westminster Abbey, Madame Tussaud, Kidzmania, London Bus tour and Thames Boat Cruise. our hotel is in Westminster to get to places easily. He did that in the additional info box. So we wait and see.

justwise:

List of places to visit in the UK?

He should use the blank space in the form to explain the huge sum of money inherited from his mother else it will be seen as money lodgement
