Hi justwise and Vicjustice, I'm a 30 years old graduate and currently unemployed. Can my elder sister based in Nigeria sponsor my short stay visa application to UK? I awaits your response.

BusaYom:
Dear All,
@justwise, Vicjustice and other pros in the house, Kindly advise.

I have a UK visa already but would also like to visit with hubby, who at the moment is not a salary earner - (He is into agency details and collects money per deal done - No registered company)

I want to know if by standing in as his sponsor, he would be granted. I earn abt 170k per month and we intend to stay at a hotel for 10days.
We intend to spend abt 600k for the trip--130k-hotel,300k--flight,170k--feeding & hangouts, pls advise if this will fly and what doc aside my bank details and passport page will be required.

That is a lawyers answer!
If you state that you are visiting for severn days, then stay for three months. You will have some very hard questions to answer when you next try to renew your visa. VO will think that you lied to them.

ty01:


Well, inasmuch as you do not overstay your VISA, I do not see the hard question you have to answer. Please note that circumstance changes as well. I have stayed in the UK for over two months at a go before (was on a 6months VISA then), even though I indicated 5 days during my application. Up till today, I have never had any issue with respect to renewing my VISA and I am yet to answer any hard question! I am not convinced that it is a crime or a potential lie if you do stay beyond the time stated in your application; the application is just a guide if you ask me. Mind you, I have also not said people should stay for 180 days at a go, if there is no major reason to do so.

Hello justwise. Can my bank account statements have different addresses from what I wrote in my UK visa form cos I have actually moved but didn't change address at the bank and also how can I change date of appointment. Thanks

Lexusgs430:


Yes she can. But the possibility of the visa been approved, is very slim to no chance.

Lexusgs430:


I think you can stand in as a sponsor. My fear is the figures. 170k a month earning power and 600k holiday expenses, equates to about 3 months and 3 weeks for a 10 day holiday!!!
Do you have a buoyant savings account?
Does your husband have enough documents to prove is agency based activities?

komenology:
Why would the chance of the visa been approved be slim?. Kindly elaborate please. My sister has good records with the UK embassy.

Hello,
Kindly assist,
Is there option of administrative review for a family visit visa.
Person applied for 5years was refused(previous application was 5years and was given)
Frequent traveller to the uk for over 30years.
The refusal was based on length of time spent in the UK on recent visits. She travelled in 2013 october-Feb 2014, then June 2014 - November 2014.
Note that the applicant is a retiree, sponsors herself, has investment is married and the length of her recent visits is due to the birth of her grandchildren in the last 3years in the UK.
So my questions,
1. Can she get administrative review?
2. The applicant is also a US citizen (but she applied for uk visas cos with her US passport she can only stay 3months.) can she travel with that or will immigration at MM2 ask for her Nigerian stamp.

BusaYom:


Thanks for your response Lexusgs430,

I have 1.4m in my savings acct though, but decided to gv a quote of 600k for d trip. Do i reduce the quote to 500k even tho we might eventually spend more?

The payments made into his accts for deals,can only be proven by his bank statement but no receipts rendered.
Thats why i thot if i could stand in as his sponsor.

Kindly advise further.


Justwise,Vicjustice....pls drop your comment too.

What immigration history, do you have?
You are an adult and deemed above the age of consent. If visa is granted and you refuse to return, what influence can your sister have(just asking not a conclusion)?
This is part of how, your application would be viewed and considered.

komenology:
I've no travel history. Financial sponsor is the only influence from her.

Focus on the things that will proove that you will return after your trip.
(Strong ties to home)
Get a letter from your employer authorising leave and stating that you will return to your job.
Statements and things from your boyfriend are not so good. As an adult they expect you to be able to cover your own expenses.
Land that you manage is good, car means nothing, don't bother with it.

annylove1:


Thanks for the reply, like i earlier stated, i have 3 good accounts with money inflow and my business generates over 300k per month apart from my salary. I asked about my boyfriends statement because i would be getting a letter from him as a friend/sponsor and i wanted to know if it was necessary to get his statement because of the letter.
please i need others to give me more information concerning my questions. Thanks

What i want to know exactly is
1. How to apply because i have been seeing different links to apply with
2. What documents should i present with my application letter? I have 3 bank accounts should i use them all or pick 2? should i include my property documents such as a land i have plus my car? do i need any tax clearance doc as i do not have any?
3. My aunt only sent the invitation letter, her residence permit and her passport. What other document do i need from her?
