MizMary:

Pls @justwise @ekpotek I applied for a standard visitor's visa using priority service on the 26th of July.but since I have gotten the not straightforward mail twice now.i am just worried cos I am meant to write an exam.do u have any advice for me?��

mrcodebreaker:
I am asking this question again as I have been having conflicting answers from different people.

I am using only my company account as the only account I’m presenting and I also stated in my intro letter I am being sponsored by my company which I own for this trip which I own. I am sole signatory to account I have ref letter and bank statements.

The questions are as follows

1) "What is the cost to you personally of your trip?"

2) "Is someone other than you paying for all or a part of your trip?” (YES/NO)


This is tricky. You cannot say you because it would mean the account and statements should personally be in your name.

Yet you have to somehow mention yourself as the sole signatory to the company account.

Why are you traveling? Emphasize on this and tie with why this trip should be covered under company’s funds.

Then for the answers, put 0 since it will cost nothing to you personally.

Is someone other that yourself paying for your trip - put your company name. For why - put why you are traveling in relation to what benefits your company’s growth.

Are you filling the form online - on the extra info sheet, this should be the first thing their eyes see - why your company funds is being used for your trip. Simple and short. No unnecessary info to muddle up things.

Are you going to add your bank statements to the application bundle? Make sure you label them properly and highlight so they don’t mix up. Maybe at the top of the company’s statements, write in capital letters - COMPANY ACCOUNT (supporting return trip)

Do not forget to mention how this trip will benefit your company on your return - this should serve as a tie back to Nigeria.

Wish you the best.

Modified.

MizMary:

Yes it is.any reasons why you ask?pls anyway to play down my anxiety....

MollyBank:


What exam are you gooing to write? PLAB?

Notes:




SOS!!! Justwise, ekpotek and all good people here. My course provider canceled when am just a few days to travel, due to insufficient number for training. I got another institute for same course and date but a different city. Its 45mins train from first location. Please how do I handle the landing card with this new development. I had booked hotel close to first location.

ekpotek:


No need to panic. Carry every documents concerning the cancelation and the new course. The important information needed on the landing card is contact address in the UK. You can booked a hotel near the new venue and use the information as your contact address in the UK.

Question1:

He actually submitted a Bank statement that belongs to his uncle(Sponsor) whom they share the same surname. This statement contains more than 1.5m

solaiphones:


That’s the problem. He is over 18years. He needs his own personal account to be fat assuming he has that kind of money in his account with a good outflow and inflow he might be considered.

MizMary:

Yes @mollybank...it is PLAB

Question1:
Hi Nairalanders,

My younger brother's recent visa application was refused based on this ground. I would be grateful if anyone could throw more light into this, and the possibility of reapplying.

Thanks in advance

Question1:


In this case, he would have needed to prove the source of the money e.g Bank Statement, business docs etc. Nb: Hes a non- working student

ekpotek:


Sorry your brother was denied because he did not show any financial ties. Since your brother is a student and depends on someone for his education. He should have also submitted his bank statement showing inflow of funds to support his study and up keep.

marylanderr:


You are welcome. Did you already apply? I saw that my message might have come too late because you wanted to apply yesterday?

mrcodebreaker:


Yes I reapplied again.

solaiphones:

God bless u sir my cousin who is a student got a visit visa with just 200k in his account with inflow of 2m and outflow of 1.8 for six months

marylanderr:


Okay, did you fill those questions with proper answers? So no opportunity is given for any hesitation.

Question1:


Thanks I really appreciate your comments.
Just to be cleared, If he submits his bank statement as well, he doesn't have to provide any document explaining the source??

MizMary:
@Ekpotek and @justwise plss.. ...what do you suggest.

solaiphones:

He can add a few comments at the additional information section.but you must be careful transferring huge amount of money to his account fews days to application is wrong. Let him build his account for the next six months with a good inflow and outflow of money
