You submitted everything from your sponsor but failed to submit documents from your own end to support your tier to Nigeria, that is what the ECO pointed out in that refusal letter, since you are a full time student you needed to submit your school documents like your admission, last results, school fees receipts, course time table and letter from your school.

Thanks for pointing those out. So if I get all those documents ready, can I reapply immediately or give it a space of 6months. Oga justwise, in summary when can I reapply?

Justwise, in reply to your question, he visited last Christmas and left 17th January, 2017. And yes, there has been exchange of gifts and cash.
And please while addressing the above, when is most suitable to reapply, can i reapply next month after gathering all the extra documents you all have pointed out? like how much should I have in my savings account?
Thanks.

Submitting the old account with history of transactions and source of that money would have been better.

Your question is similar to Ezinkem.

Provide document to proof relationship, accommodation available for her, financial capability and explain what she will be doing.

Okay thank you! I will include the statements from the individual accounts as well. How many months statement will be enough?

Batba1:


please what other documents do I need to add to the application for her



@justwise and other gurus on here.

Same applies to me inviting my mum 63 years old retiree. Me and my partner just opened a new joint account few weeks ago. All the money we saved for her trip is in the new joint account. Partner (British) works full time and I am self employed (Just registered). We plan to write a joint invitation letter for her.

First question is would it be enough if we just print the statement (less than a month statement to show the money saved up for her trip) or we need a 6month bank statement (in which case we wont be able to use the joint account)?

Second question is do we need to include our employment details?


Third question [/b]is do we need any other documents apart from these:
-Her passport
-Our passports
-Joint Invitation letter
-Joint account statement showing the money saved for her trip (less than 1 month statement)
-Letter from the occupant of the house shel be living in (8 mins drive from our house) for the duration of her visit stating she can stay stay there for the duration (We have a one bedroom apartment now but currently looking for a two bedroom apartment as we are expecting and we think it might not be ideal for her application).


[b]PLEASE NOTE:
-She has been here before in 2012 for 1 month holiday.
-It's stated on gov.uk not to include pictures, council tax or utility bills of apartment.

Thanks in advance!

You need to include 6months payslips to support the source of the money you are presenting.

Can you give me a link where it stated that one should not include pictures, council tax or utility bills of apartment? Never come across such before

That was under transit visa application and not visiting visa

Doesn't seem so, Justwise:

Can you point out specifically where it says one should not submit utility bills and council tax documents under visiting visa application?

geek:


It's an interpretation - and I'm not attacking you Justwise.

Section 1 of the document covers all documents you must attach to all applications.
Section 2 covers extra documents that you can use to support a visit visa.
Section 3 covers specific documents for specific visa types.
Section 4 (where this is) is actually separate from Transit Visa (which is the last section of Section 3) and covers the documents that you should not send. There isn't any language in Section 4 to suggest the section excludes the Standard visitor visa.

Utility and council tax bills are specifically mentioned in section 4.

justwise:


How did that come about?

geek:


Huh? It was my acknowledgment that mine was an interpretation and I'm not going gung ho into it like others do on this forum.

justwise:


Ok i get that.

1.When was the last time he visited you in Nigeria?

2. Any exchange of gifts? Cash or material gifs?

I'm yet to hear from them since 18th April and they haven't responded to my mails either. My travel date has passed and I hope it won't affect my application. Also I visited the hospital during my last stay which I stated in my application. I paid all my bills so I wonder if that's the delay?
Pls I need a response

Hey guys,

-You have applied to visit the UK for 21 days, I acknowledge the importance of family visits in maintaining family ties and I have therefore given your application careful consideration. I do not doubt that your sponsor in the UK may well be a credible witness but I am mindful that your sponsor cannot guarantee intentions now that any undertakings or guarantees are not enforceable.

Either a cover/guarantor's letter (note) from the host was not written and added or the one added wasn't weighty enough to assuage nor allay the concerns/fears raised

-you state in your application that you have savings of £278, you have not provided evidence of these funds as part of your application. I am therefore not satisfied that you have accurately demonstrated your own circumstances in Nigeria.

Applicants personal bank statement reflecting the figure claimed to be true should have sufficed here

Additionally you have provided no details of your relationship with your daughter in law outside your visa applications. I am therefore satisfied that you have not addressed the concerns of the previous Entry Clearance officer."


To establish a relationship in the mind's eye of the officer; son's birth certificate, even DIL's own too, their marriage certificate, pictures of applicant with son, DIL, etc should have been helpful methinks. Just anything to establish this relationship more firmly

This is all the contents of the letter

This is why I really do love the UK peeps though, you could see and make amends from their refusal letter if carefully observed.... Take dressing!!! I may be wrong in all my thoughts below though.
