pls my sister is abt to apply for uk tier 4 visa, she has used my dad as sponsor and he has given her is bank statement.

Now my worry, he hasnt transacted in the account since februaury this year. however the money in the account is very suffcicient for her tution and upkeep.

You knw hw dormiciary account is, it is nt something we use daily, hwoever the account is active.

Someone told her she may be rejected for this reason, i will like to knw if this is true based on exeprience.

I have tried convincing my dad but he is too strong headed to accept.

what do the people in the house think

blessedfavoured:


may be deposit 10usd just to show the account is still active, i read something like this on the students visa thread, not sure tho. A reference letter from the bank manager might help too.

Even if i deposit money the deposit it wont reflect in the statement cos it has already been printed.
please can you tell me where u read this, my dad has printed his statement out and he is very adamant, if i hv proof i can convince him otherwise.

Sincerly its not possible as you are above 18 and the relationship is not close enough,even if she is you blood sis its not possible,except you are below 18.the only person who can fight for you if you are above 18 is your mum or dad,you cn also settle via ancentry visa if one of any of your grand parent are uk citizen.Also the study process doesn't work any more as you will have to leave the uk after you finish your student visa,before you can seek employment,it was recently passed.
However there's is a very slimmmm chance which often than non doesn't work at ur age but still possible,that is if your aunt can adopt u,and that means u hav to show she has been responsible your your training,u have no one or ties here in Nig etc,she has to be finacially capable to take care of u,check the uk home office website for more requirment.

You don't have to add pictures if you got non.

What certificate is that?

justwise:


Yes you can.

What process are you referring to?

ekpotek:


Sorry for your refusal. My advise to applicants for UK visa to make use of the additional information space provided on the application form to explain any issues (document), that might lead to a refusal. If you had provided the above explanations, in you application, the EO, would have understood, where those lodgement come from. Most applicants should understand that the decision of the EO are largely based on the documents you submit to support your application. Most refusal are based on applicants giving the EO reasons to be suspicious of their travel intentions. I learn this from my 2 earlier refusals in 2007 and 2011. Since then, I have successful, gotten two 6 months and two 2 years making it 4 successes in a row. In all my application I make use of this additional information spaces, and even enclosed further explaination on a sheet of paper documenting my bank details, previous visit to UK and other countries with an assurances that I will return back to Nigeria as I had previously done from my visit. The rule is to provide all pieces of documents with full explanations to support your application. You can reapply and address the concerned raise and revised your budget to be not more that 1000 pounds, which will be just flight tickets and shopping fund, since your aunt will provide accommodation and feeding.

@ eniayooke are you saying that anybody applying now should expect a web came interview

Am a newcomer here.
Pls I need a candid answer from the house. Two of my friends have registered legitimate businesses (newly registered) and have significant monthly income from these businesses. They were however denied uk visas because according to the ECO their stated income did not reflect in their statement of account.
Please how does ones stated (a business owner) monthly income reflect on his or her account when sales defers every month? A

Hello All,

Abi Una remember this my matter,

I reapplied on the 23rd of June and got my passport back today with Visa granted.

I basically used the same set of docs i applied with at the initial refusal, Only this time I applied at Ikeja.

And yes , it took longer than normal.

I attended a webcam interview i did not plan for right after i submitted my documents (first timers take note)

Good thing is i was very composed and answered the questions confidently
I was able to remember my aunty's house adress as well as give an account of what i plan to do in the UK.
Interviewer asked me the nature of my job and what exactly i do ( must tally with the Job description you filled online)
I also attached my graduation brochure which shows I just completed Masters in Theatre, When Interviewer asked me if I will visit London as my arrival is Manchester.
I said Yes to Visit the Globe theatre, then we talked about Shakespeare. I smiled and tried to be very courteous.

I also used the additional information to explain the extra monies i recieved,
I attached Church bulletin and yahoo mail conversations as well as my church organogram (Yes i am an extremist)

I wrote a cover letter and adressed the points highlighted by ECO in the refusal, I attached printed copies of online transfers for the monies i recieved that was'nt mine. Then I cut my budget to about 110£ and stated exactly how i will spend it including the places i intend to visit.

Two Things happened while I waited for my Passport.

My dad is a frequent flyer to the UK, he was contacted to confirm if I am his daughter.

My HR Manager called to say the Embassy contacted him aking about the nature of my job and how much I earn.
He also asked the HR Manager who my direct line manager is ( I remember the interviewer asked me to even spell his name)

Then a verification Unit mailed my HR Manager again to confirm my date of birth and how long my contract with the company is.
After he responded I got a mail apologising for the delay in returning my passport.

Please Pardon my epistle, This is just to help whoever may be applying next. Make sure you use the additional info, supporting documents are never too much,Refusals MUST be avoided as long as you are genuine, lol.

Thank you justwise, ekpotek, worry and all who helped me.
God bless you.

I remember your interview transcript. We applied the same day in Abuja, but I didn't do an interview. Got a mail exactly 5 working days later on Friday 10th that my passport and supporting docs have been dispatched thru courier. I received my passport yesterday 13th with Visa. I was amazed at how quick their process is.
My application was pretty simple, I shivered when I saw the docs others where submitting. I only submitted my form, reference letter from employer, 6 months statement of account and 6 months payslips. That's all, no stories or detailed itinerary. I did a mock hotel booking but didn't include the confirmation printout. This is my first UK application although I have US and Schengen Visas.
When are going for your passport? Do let us know the outcome...

Hello jewel. Pls wat kind of mssg did u get informing u dat ur app was ready? After almost 3 weeks, I got an email that said a decision has been made and they wld dispatch my docs and the decision but pple around me think that mssg means a refusal as d email ought to say "your visa is being processed" and also say wen it wld be ready. Did urs go in that same line?. Pls help satisfy my curiousity about that notion.
