Your application should routed on your sponsor financial standing and his relationship to you, so you should be more concern about providing documents to support it. Your own financial situation is abysmal and there is nothing you can do about it. You should request from your sponsor to transferred all the funds for your UK trip into your allowance bank account. What is needed on your part is evidences that you will return back to Nigeria. So I suggest that get as much documents from NYSC and not just leave letter. You should be thinking of submitting documents like letter of NYSC posting, NYSC Community development activities report. Letter from your place of primary assignment, Graduation certificates or statement of results etc. Now to answer your questions:

1. Submit only the account showing allowance payment from NYSC even if it’s not up to see months. If you get other allowance from PPA indicates it too. Your sponsor will also submit his 6 months bank statement showing fund transferred to your bank account.

2. Yes

3. Get more document to show reasonable conviction to return back to Nigeria after the examination. Letter of introduction from your professional body, former school professors etc.

4. Your sponsor should write a cover letter, to explain why he is sponsoring the trip and relationship to you. Since your sponsor is your brother he must show that he is related to you. He must transfer all the fund into your bank account he must point it out and indicate the date of the transfer and highlight it in his bank statement.

5. You will also write a cover note, explaining why you need to take the exam and it’s importance to you career. You will also state that due to your NYSC service you cannot affford the trip and your brother willl finance everything. Highlight the fund sent to you by your brother in your bank statement. Promise the ECO to return back after the exam to continue your NYSC as it’s a prerequisite for employment in Nigeria. [/quot

Okay thank you. One more thing, he already transferred the money to my personal account, can I send it back. Then he will now send it to my allowance account and print a new statement. I hope this is not a problem? I know the question might sound stupid but please bear with me.

Thanks for your prompt response @justwise. I'm married with 4 kids but travelling alone. Account balance is expected to be BTW 1.5m and 1.7m.

Hope this is still OK?

Ok though the ECO may question why you want to go on holiday without your family to spend such amount considering your family responsibility at home

Please i need your Advice.
I went for the Pre- departure Tuberculosis Test program,
And I have been given the Medical certificate, But there was a mistake in my Sponsor's UK address post code.
It was..........TA0 5IB
Instead of...TA0 5IE

Will this pose a treat or should I ignore it.

Thanks in advance.

There is always a checklist by TLS where the documents uploaded are ticked or listed. Applicant are require to scrutinize this checklist and sign as evidence of acceptance before leaving for biometric capture.

If you will provide a paid carer to look after your kid sister while in the UK, then provide the document. If not, inform the ECO that you will be the carer and that your kid sister will not be left on her own throughout the visit. This can be done by outlining in details what your sister and you hope to do for each day of the 8 days to be spent in the UK.

Please i need your Advice.

Oyster card can only be used in London, if you are not married with kids then your list is ok

You need to list places you want to visit in the UK/why you are visiting the UK

Hello house. Followed the tips on this thread and issued visas were picked up yesterday for a family vacation with my wife and two kids. However, there is going to be a change in travel plans and I want to travel a month later than what was stated in the application. Will there be any trouble with this at point of entry? Also, I applied to stay with my brother in Southampton, do you advise I have train tickets from London to Southampton with me at point of entry?

Although I wasn't the one that asked the question earlier, is it compulsory your sponsor transfer the Fund he intend to sponsor you with to your bank account?

How else will the applicant proof sufficient fund, if the amount promised by the sponsor is not sitting in her account. Sometimes provision of Nigerian sponsors bank statement does not necessarily mean access to the fund. The ECO knows this.
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by Jaydee11: 6:43pm On Jun 30, 2018
Thanks Mr KDK for your response too. I am not sure my husband will allow him to travel alone. He is just 6, my husband won't allow O. It is okay for me to go nd pick him, although I need to do a few things in naija so I will use dt opportunity.
Also, as regards our accommodation in UK, is the tenancy agreement OK for proof of suitable accommodation or do we need to get a fresh letter from our landlord?
Thanks so much.
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by nomad26: 7:01pm On Jun 30, 2018
Yes, your tenancy agreement is enough as proof of accomodation. That's what I used for my partner's tier 2 dependant visa, we didn't submit any letter from landlord and visa was approved.

I applied on the 21st of May, and was contacted on the 21st of June. I got it. Guess what I had going- I had gone back and forth 5 times- wroked for me otherwise my chance would have been limited.

I would like to know the rate Travelx and UBA are exchanging Naira for Pounds for? Thanks.

Quick one pls am planning to travel to UK and America respectively dis yr. Av been to Uk twice with 6months on each, I dnt knw hw many da will giv me dis time am 95% sure of securing the visa, but av not been to America b4.
My questions (1) which visa shld I apply for first
(2) I heard America embassy takes up to 3month b4 da call for appointment, I hope da will not delay it for longer period not to affect the UK visa. Thanks

I would suggest you apply for both UK and US visas now. However, UK visa appointment dates are closer while US appointment dates are farther towards the end of the year so there's enough space in between. Dates are quickly getting filled so the earlier the better
