You can have your credits though. All you need is show that your guest would not have to resort to public funds for accommodation or feeding.



When you say credit what are you referring to?

I disagree, amount left is at the end of the month is even more important. if you got nothing left at the end of the month how will you be able to invite someone who will ultimately depend on you financially?


If you have a transaction of £200 per month, to the person you're inviting..........

That £200 pcm, stops whilst the person is with you ....... I say again, it's all about the approach........

I invited my parents and in-laws, with less than £100 end balance....... And none of them ever got rejected.......

So I say again.........🤑😁🤣😜

NB : Application for 2 retired parents.........

No be even those criminal elements parading as loan companies. I just had some unpalatable experiences. I have vowed not to take loans except for viable business with very calculated risk cushion.

UKVI actually does if you show proof of application for a new one in addition to the old one and a cover letter explaining this.
It worked for someone who moved from a student visa to PSW in November.

You can apply for a new visa or extension without your passport. Your brp will suffice. Use the biometrics app for your biometrics and upload your brp

Many are afraid to borrow because of the experiences back home where you are hassled if you default paying or the shame you are put through. With CC it is different... You repay what you spend at a fraction of it (if that works for you) or you pay in full. But I agree with you, if you are not financially literate enough to understand the advantages or disadvantages of owing a CC, it's best you get educated on it than be sorry for it later on. Life here can be better if on CC.

Having said this, if you ever decide to give it a try, you can start here with my AMEX referral

I think Rinzylee comes close to bridging Lexusgs430 and Justwise. Explainable Financial flow is essential just as fair enough balance is important. Find a balancing balance of these financial balancing act ⚖️. NB: Bigtt76 made a valuable point.

Budget at least £2,000 and submit payslips and bank statement to support your source of income.

Please how much is POF required to invite Parent or Sibling to the UK as a resident?

The next person may claim to have invited his ex-wife without applying for visa
