Thank for your Swift response leef2022

My wife and my kids are genuine applicant's, I transferred the 1m into my wife bank account to show that the money would be available for them to use.

Due to most refusal letter on this platform while hubby transferred fund without including any doc got most application refused.

I transferred 1m sponsorship fund into my wife bank account from my saving account,

While my wife will contribute 400k from her own account, because she's working and her monthly salary is 250k, monthly expenses is 50 k left her 200k for monthly disposable.

Can I submit my saving acct I used to transferred the fund only ? Or including my salary account to show that I am working and capable to sponsor them along with my own employment docs and payslips?

Reason is that the saving acct I used to transferred the funds to my wife acct is the account I use to receive non salary related , pay bill and general payment .

Why I wanted to add my salary acct and payslip and ID card is to show my source of income.

Wife wanted to submit employment letter, payslip, No objection leave letter, wedding cert,kids cert, photo,land deed in her and kids name and another land doc in my nanme


We need advise before we put in the application

Note to self,
Best way to go about this visa application thingy is having a simple yet genuine and credible application. And I am not in anyway saying you or your application aint genuine. If, you are only going to be a sponsor, a letter of sponsorship, a singular bank statement from you or and payslip with an ID is enough.
At the end, the ONUS(75%) still falls on your wife(herein referred to as main applicant) and what supporting documents she submits to demonstrate that she and the kids would have no reason to seek public funds or overstay their visit in the UK. Thus, including your employment letter and possible multiple accounts when considering you are just a sponsor is irrelevant.

Wishing your family a successful visa applications.

Hello,
My honest thoughts in regards to this.
I do not see convincing reason(s) for wanting to team host grandma(son and friend; whilst there isn't an immigration rule that, this is not acceptable), the VO may see these efforts as her son not being financially buoyant to host grandma, which if that is the case, i would suggest the visit be planned for another time. In addition grandma should have some savings or some funds accessible to her, in her personal savings or as the case maybe to show, that she could in an event of unforeseen circumstance(s), resolve such issues without needing to tap from the UK benefit and social system.
You also mentioned grandma receiving financial support from your brother, the question here is how consistent, clean and healthy is this support? And is there a possible way to establish such support being made to her by him in her application?
Your brother(grandma's son) in best case scenario should be the sole sponsor (he should assist her with the following, though non-extensive list, a letter of invite and sponsorship, he may wish to categorically state that all/most of the financial burden and welfare during grandma's visit would be on him). Also, he should/could provide your grandma with ID for identification purposes, P60/payslips/bank statement(either, or 1 complimenting another) and as is applicable to him.
Include with her application, other supporting documents as would be necessary and applicable to grandma and she should be fine.

Have a ball with grandma's visa application.

Was the visa finally collected by proxy?

He wasn't given, so she had to go pick up by herself

Right, you calm it bro.. visa application is not something to panic or be nervy about.
Whilst it is recommendable to learn from other persons application error, it is also wise to remind you, that every application is decided on individual cases.
yes refusal letters arising from not explaining adequately some deposits or outflow have been shared here, likewise, refusals where applicants explained in detailed such funds in their application have been shared. To some extent it is at the VOs discretions to regard or disregard whatever information you have in your application. And at the end the refusal comes with no right for appeal or administrative review for standard visiting visas, as such not much could be done if denied.

If you sponsoring your wife and kids, and had transferred 1m to your wife's account to support your commitment with actions, you should write a letter stating your consent and knowledge of her trip with the kids, also, you include in the letter that to ensure their well-being you had assisted with .......... amt of funds, then, to further support your claims include the bank statement that indicates the fund transfer, your ID and if you wish or not payslip but again your employment letter I do not see how important it is considering you are neither applying or travelling with them.

Your wife may now wish to submit her employment letter, payslips, bank statement and other documents as applicable to her.

However, my worry to her application is her budget.
If from calculations of funds available are true and correct, you are supporting with 1m, she's contributing 400k of her personal funds. Now doing a break down of the must do expenses for 1.4mil for three applicants would be as follows;
visa application fee £95(x3) @ Oanda rate +/-(#166,725)
Cheapest flight #285,607 for adult, kids are slightly lesser but give or take #180,000(x2) round trip(this are approximate cost for Air france) BA, Virgin are around 400k.
PCR test if not full vaccinated day 2 and 8 is about £85(#49640) for an adult assuming neither of the kids is 18 yet.

From my calculations she would have spent 950k plus, left with 450,000 or more. Note, that my proposed budget could have been grossly under or over estimated, as such you and your wife could choose to look into increasing the budget, unless and unless you have both had it worked out and figured that 1,4mil was sufficient for a family of 3 for a tourist visit. Otherwise, the VO could perceive the funds are indeed not available for her usage regardless of what financial documents would show and your letter would explain, rather could be perceived for showcasing.

All the best.

Sorry for too much of questions

you can add the payslips(to show source of your income if you are worried about this) + the account statement you have indicated which to me is even the better choice, because it shows your history of commitments to your family from expenses and bills (the kids school fees and all you mentioned). It is just pretty easy thing, and your wife could even reference that in her application as why her monthly expenditure is just 50k, because you being the husband foot most or other bills. That the VO would see assisting your family with 1m for travels as an effortless thing you have added to your commitment. pretty easy, no reason to loose sleep over it.

wish your family a successful application.

Thanks so much bros, in nutshell I should submit the saving account indicated the fund that I transferred along with my payslips right?

No need to submit my Salary account with the doc ?

Me and my family we are really grateful

That's one more bit of info you have dropped.
Regardless of this, your brother and grandma must demonstrate in her application that her finances, welfare to, in and must exist from the UK to her home country is such that, it is not questionable.

Yes, in my own opinion, unless you feel otherwise, that is looking from your own personal circumstances, and see need to add the salary acc and employment letter.

Hello guys,

Please I need a clarification on this.

I am in the UK and I want my mum to come visit me. I don’t have the finance to sponsor her for now so we are considering using my late fathers pension account. We still get monthly pension on the account because he recently passed away. He has over 2m in the account and still counting. I want to know if it’s possible to use his account to sponsor my mum or we should withdraw the entire fund and put it in my mums account. But I am worried she will have to wait for another 6 month for the funds to mature for visa application unlike having it stay in my late dads account.

If we proceed to use my late dads account how do we write the sponsorship letter or it’s not necessary since they are legally married?.

Please I need the best way around this. Kindly help with inputs

.

I just got an email that my passport has been at TLS for collection for over 20days and would be returned, but I'm not in Lagos so I can't pick it up.
I paid N9000 for courier service, but no one at TLS is responding to my emails.

is there a way to contact TLS about a situation like this? or a phone number to call?

tushqueen:



He wasn't given, so she had to go pick up by herself

Alright. Congrats to her.

Hello everyone,
I've read through posts here and I realized we don't talk much on the tier 5, charity worked visa. I applied for this visa, I was given a cos for my application. I saw that the requirements are only my certificate of sponsorship, passport, tb test. But in my application I had to upload few additional documents like account statement (which I used for my pos biz and shows inflows and outflows of funds with some big monies that entered towards the end for my visa application including the IHS funds and visa fee N500k 3x totalling N1.5M, and having a balance of around N600k), letter of introduction by few other NGOs I've worked with as a volunteer in Nigeria, my appointment letter from my employer in UK. Marriage cert and family picture. I hope I stand a good chance as I'm not feeling right about the unexplainable big money that entered toward the end of my acc statement even though my sponsor has stated in the cos that they will be handling my maintenance in the UK. So I want to know is there need to still explain what the money was meant for in a letter. Cos my appointment with TLS is next week Tuesday and I learnt I can still upload additional documents there. Thank you

Pls I need your advice, I’m planning to get a visiting visa academics for 12 month or which one can I apply for?

leef2022:


Yes that should be possible as you are required to indicate what currency you need whilst filling out the Form A. However, the problem here maybe the scarcity of the pound sterlings as to the dollar which could possibly explain why most banks give USD cash.

All the best.

Thank you

Hello,
It is not explicitly stated in the home office UK.Gov, that large deposits of funds before an application for any visa category(ies) is not acceptable, so you may/may not have done any wrong so far with your application.
Each application, regardless of visa category is treated on individual cases, as such i may do large deposits of funds before a UK visa application and get refused, whilst you do the same and get issued the visa. So, again you may/may not have done any wrong with your visa application so far.
If you choose to explain things in your application, it is one you have done within your applicants right, as the ONUS is always on the applicant to demonstrate he/she merits the visa he/she is applying for. Therefore, again and again you may/may not do any wrong for wishing to put in that extra efforts in explaining the source and purposes of the funds to the ECO. You can add or subtract supporting documents before submission on the TLS webpage, once you submit your application, you can not do any addition or subtraction.

Good you have noted the none availability of a Tier 5 visa thread, you could equally start one on NL to share your experience and how you went about yours, and be sure that individuals whom have served or had such experiences would drop by to share their wealth of experience too, there by helping other Nigerians achieve their dreams of volunteering. I personally have done such programs and have few to do this year. One thing i know for sure, is such programs, bodies are always lacking human power to achieve her goals. And a post pandemic world, war only points to worsening case.

Best of lucks

Hello Sir, sorry for the lost.
Here are my suggestions:
1. Do you currently have a job within the UK? If yes, you could go ahead, and assist your mum with either a P60/payslips in the absence of a bank statement with a positive cash inflow/outflow or balance, and still successfully invite your mum to come visit you in the UK. If this is not possible, then you could give option no. 2 a go;
2. Is your mum working/previously worked? Does your mum have personal savings? If this applies to her, she could still go on with her application and state she would be sponsoring herself without needing any support from you.
3. Accessing the funds, I think that should lie with the banks your late Dad has an account with, as such you and your family would have to consult the bank on how to go about accessing the funds in there, and if he had a next of kin linked with the account, the next of kin could exercise his/her rights to that regards, and may need some court orders and other supporting documents as would be applicable to this effect.

Finally, there's no mandatory rule or such on the Home office UK.gov that funds must be held for a 6 months period for it to become matured for a standard visiting visa application. Thus, after sorting the financial circumstances of your mum, and I am assuming you are well knowledgeable in regards to other supporting documents you and your mum, could go ahead with the application on or before the 6 months period stated by you..

Either option, you and your mum decide to go for, I wish you and your mum nothing less of a successful application.
Regards

Hello everyone , happy Sunday . This is my first time in this forum. Please I have a question about uk visitor visa.

I applied for visit visa and did my biometric on the 5th of January 2022, on the 28th I wrote a mail to ukvi to check my status and the reply they gave me was that my application is not in their system yet… I really don’t understand this. Please has anyone gotten this time of issue before ? What do I do next? Do I call them again this week? I am really confused . Please kindly assist with your opinions . Thanks

An email like this:

if you've not gotten any email like the one I uploaded above from Ukvi that means its yet to get to their visa section. You try track your application on the TLS website by login in to your visa application link in your email, and proceeding like you want to do your biometrics again. Click on tracking.

Hi all.

This is an automated email i got after sending the mail to complaint at ukgov email. There is a part that says, the outcome of a visa decision, will not be treated as a complaint. Does it mean the complaint email does not deal with visa decisions?

Should i get a lawyer to write to them? If a lawyer should write to them, where should it be addressed to ?

Thanks
