Hey VicJustice,

I dont think your response to this sister(olu16) is correct.

I visited the UK for the first time in sept 2007 on a 6month visa. the following year in Oct 2008, i applied for a 5yr visa but was issued a 2 yr visa which i again used in september last year b4 it expired.  So i dont think its about the number of times you travel on a particular type of visa.

erico2k2:

No specific ammount, all the person needs is to be able to prove 1 his/her Income,2prove of address 3 is legally resident .The rest erm the ornus is then down to the invited to prove

Fiver:

Many thanks, Erico2k2

What if the invited person is
a) A student in a private uni, still in school,personal account almost zero but family account/assets very buoyant
b) a recent state university graduate awaiting NYSC call up, can get family members financials as sponsors

which one has a better chance?

justwise:

The agent is just after your money and i hope u don't waste your money. You getting a UK visa as a student will entirely depend on your parents, they have to sponsor you, they have to give u the money and sponsorship letter addressed to the ECO, you have to give the ECO a very good reason why u want to visit the UK and what you tend to do while in the UK. As a student, u have to provide your academic records/progress reports.

Even with all those documents, visiting visa for a student is not guarantee so don't let anybody deceive you.

@Justwise & friends.
I was refused UK visa previously coz I submitted my dad's corporate account during my application. I am applying again but this time I have paid my tuition & accommodation fees in full {I only paid £100 previously} a total of £17,400. Please is there anything else I should do to make my application successful?
Do I need to show more proof of funds? Hw much?
Do I need a sponsorship letter from my dad again?
Is there any other reason I can be refused again since the only reason I ws refused was coz of the company account?
Thank you & God bless.

@ erick,
Many tanks erick
I am kind of confused, so that means I don't need an invitation letter, am in a private universsity, babcock uni, my parents have actually agreed 2 pay sponsor me and with also also with a good sponsorship letter, nd going to be puttin up in my sisters house, nd the reason I am going to give the ECO is that am going on my hols nd I also have a good academic record in my school, will the money be I'm my account nt or in my parents account, nd if in my account , how much is expected 2 be in my own account for a particular perriod nd if I am applying would it be under the general visitor or what kind of visitor.

EmmaIK:

@ Justwise. My accomodation fee is £5,200. I'm using my account with only about N300k.

EmmaIK:

@Justwise.
My school is the university of Aberdeen. The Accomodation is a university hall of residence, & is catered. I didn't have a choice coz it is already too late and to keep d funds in my account for 28days would make me miss this sept entry. The thinking is that since in my refusal letter its stated that I need £18600 we might be able to convince the UKBA if I took d accomodation. Would it work? I have more to survive on but can't keep it in my aaccount for 28 days.
Thank you.

EmmaIK:

@ Justwise.
I have about £1000 in my own account in my name that has been there for about 30days.
I ran out of options.

The admissions officer in Aberdeen also told me to take the step, and said I need to have only about £500 in my account to convince the UKBA.

Please what do I do? Thank you.

EmmaIK:

@Justwise. Thank yuo & God bless.
I will let yoou know how it goes.

@justwise I have been reading your responses to people problem about UK Visa procedure and i believe you can help as well , Please I have a Friend of mine planing to travel to UK on a Business Trip , He had already applied for the Visa but was refuse bases on the fact that he did not submit any letter showing any business meeting, buying etc in his application , Though he already been to UK on a visit visa. .Now the he has some1 in Uk willing to send a Business Letter Here is the Copy of the message the Individual sent to him today (Regarding invitation the only thing we can do is sent you a letter confirming a meeting but for that we will need to agree where and when.) its from a company in UK. Please Advice me the way the Letter Should be writing and If they should address the letter to My friend or to the UK Consular. My friend is going to Uk for Business Meeting for Purchase of Goods. I will appreciate your Response to this Matter, Thanks

Vicjustice and Justwise,
Thanks for your replies to my questions. Is it compulsory the person inviting me shld provide all of these documents

1. Invitation letter (stating the relationship btw us and the purpose of iniviting me)
2. Utility Bills (e.g tax, house, electricity etc)
3. Statement of Acct
4. Data page of residence permit or passport page

The person inviting me feels this is rather too much or probably the embassy is up to something funny. Pls advise on what she actually needs to send to me

justwise:

Your friend need to find out 1st if the company is a UK registered one b4 a letter from them could be taken seriously by BHC. The letter should contain the business meeting details, company registration details and could be addressed to the ECO.

Giving enough details about the business meeting helps to convince the ECO that the meeting worth traveling to the UK for else it could be argued that they can as well disuse it over the phone rather than wasting money traveling to the UK.

Your friend's Nigerian business must be an established one that can afford a business trip to the UK without harming his business capital.

Thank you justwise as you've been very helpful. Please would like to seek for your assistant once more can you briefly compose the sample the way it should be . I will so much appreciate this,

Sorry I'm back again.
Do I need a letter from my dad? Maybe saying I will be back in the country after my studies.
Remember I'm not using his account again.
Thank you.
