I live in a rented house with 2 housemates. I intend to book a hotel before her appointment date

Lexusgs430:



Would you have to collect a letter from your university, regarding your graduation and to back her application up?
Would you present accommodation be suitable for an extra person?
6 months bank statement, is a fair expectation. She is basically applying for a visiting visa, check required documentation list.

Annalise:


thank you. I requested for the invitation letter and it has been sent to her. How much needs to be in the account?
She's a pensioner and self employed. It's likely she uses her business account. The balance could flunctuate between the 6 month. How much on average should remain in the account? I'll book accommodation although I stated she'll stay with me.

Balance in the account is an advantage, but constant flow of regular income (pension) is a good thing. She is coming for your graduation, a letter from uni, would be advantageous.

So about how much? Does she need any work document? She might decide to use her business account.

Best to put all documentation that you feel is relevant.

If you can get a tenancy agreement, best to have her stay with you (looks good for your application)

How long are intending her staying for?

Allihamdulilai! I got my visiting visa ... Thanks to justwise n all the contributors here (may God bless u guys more ) .. Ve been a ghost reader for a while here ! I just come to read comment n apply it ! Pls guys I ve dis question how do I go abt my bookings (actually looking for cheap flight ooo)

Good morning house,what is the process of canceling UK student visa

30 working days is a long time oooo.

I don't knw how fast the fast-track service is. (anyone who has used dis service shud enlighten us).

For the first refusal point, by now you can address it properly. What about the second point, 1.8m deposit, wch you explained wt paper evidence but they still weren't convinced. Will ur second application shed more light on this deposit wt a stronger evidence? If not, you shudnt re-apply soon till months later wn it won't reflect. If you re sure you can, then re-apply.

Someone already suggested u shudnt use ur salary account for the car sales proceeds and others personal huge payments, this is key.

No wahala, No rushing, I will get the value for my money the next time I reapply. But it's just sad that I have started my leave already, I applied for the 30 working days leave Becos of this trip, i've gotten my leave allowee already... Infact right now I feel like going back to work asap. What do u advice?

Annalise:
Hi, my mum is coming for my graduation in November. I have filled and submitted the form and paid for an appointment. I want to know how far back her bank statement should be and how much. I stay in a house with 2 ladies. I put it on the form she'd stay with me. Do I still need to book a hotel? I want to know all other documents she should include to submit at the application centre. It's Abuja.

- Who does your mum do? Employed or running her own business?

- 6 months bank statement is a standard

- book hotel for her since you are living in a shared accommodation.

- many questions you asked has been answered here over and over again

Hello and thank you. I went back many pages and could not find the question that applies to me. I had many options for source of employment and had to choose only one. She told me to pick retired from the list. I want to know the average amount that needs to be running in the account. What if sometime in July it went low to about 200k etc.

Thanks Ogreen, I won't apply now, would wait till December, cos I don't want to waste money again, that was just an eye opener.... would contact my HR that I want to split my leave periods to like 15 days and also take the rest without pay in Dec. What do u think?

Hi I need to know how much needs to be maintained in the account and if there's a limit it should not go below.

That doesn't matter anymore because as a retired person you don't expect an active account activities apart from her pension money coming in. All the financial burden concerning the trip will fall on you. There is no point trying to move money into her account that you can't explain the source.

about 300k comes in as pension every month. She has a pharmacy too. Which of the accounts should she use? How much should be in the account?

hmn. Thank you. I don't think the amount in the salary account is up to that. Even if it is there could be some irregularities within the last 6 months. How low can the balance get?

Exactly! So why not present the account as it's rather than asking how much you need to have? I said 10m obviously to emphasis that it doesn't matter if you have 10 or 100m in your account what matters is the source of that money. Since she is a pensioner her income is fixed.

lol ok sir. Thanks. I honestly don't know how much she has in it. I'll call to ask. The state government owe them about 2 months. Before then, payment was regular. Recently also, I noticed she had significant expenses from that account. she believes she can take 2 different bank statements there but I doubt it.
