@Vicjustice:

Vicjustice: It is a requirement to provide a bank statement to apply for any visa category.

henrychubayo:
So in this instance, he may want to know whether to provide the company bank statement which is essential and in fact a requirement, along with his personal statement of account or only company statement?

@Vicjustice
@henrychubayo
Thanks for your prompt response,as
henrychubayo rightly mentioned will I
provide my personal statement of account
along with company statement of account
or only company statement?thanks for your counsel

Vicjustice:
You will not be required to provide your personal bank statement if the purpose of your intended travel is official, so your company's account would do the bank statement and your job will be your Home Tie or Obligation: but you must satisfy the visa officer that the money is available for your use

Vicjustice:
Marrying a swizz or an EU citizen does not obliterate his police record, know that the EU laws that allow for the freedom of movement of EU citizens also carry some clauses under its Terms and Conditions, and one of the regulations is that Immigration/Police officers have the full rights to stop any EU citizen with a criminal conviction or that poses a threat of any sort. Now, if an EU citizen with a criminal conviction is not entitled to the rights to enjoy the freedom of movement, how would a Nigerian with a conviction enjoy such rights?
He needs a visa to enter the UK, and the UK embassy will not issue its visa to a person with a conviction, and if however he manages to arrive at whichever port of entry, his finger-prints will give him away

Vicjustice: Every legitimate married person has the rights to invite his/her spouse for re-union as long as s/he has the legal rights of abode in any given country, but the eligibility is another thing, there are conditions to be met such as job and financial circumstances, accommodation details and social stance etc of the sponsoring spouse.

Colbin: Hello Nlander,
I have a case at hand, and really need truthful tips on how to handle it. I have an intention of applying for uk spouse visa this august 2012. I and my spouse have been in a distance relationship for 5years b4 getting married this april 2012, with substantial proof to show our communication for throughout this years. Her annual income is £14,510 which is lower than £18600 stated by the new uk immigration law set to take hold by july 9th.

Colbin: I am a veterinary surgeon, and i have good job prospect in the uk, and currently i am self employed right here in nigeria, doing locum consultancy and have a small farm which i run, but wasn't registered under any business name.

Colbin: My bank account have been showing lump sums which are also been expended and sometimes small amounts are paid there by my clients.

Colbin: All other requirements for the spouse visa have been met by me and my spouse. But our major concern now is abt the new immigration law of minimum income threshold of £18600, which my spouse doesn't meet up to(£14510) and my own employment and bank account status. Please i really need a truthful advice on what i can do. Thanks in anticipation

beejaybida: Hi, VicJustice. Quick clarification needed on this "Money Lodgement" issue.i asked you earlier in the enquiries group but the shorthand language you deemed confusing. sorry abt that. My annuals (as stated/broken down in employer letter of intro) is 6 Million made up of salary (180k monthly) and various allowances. On a particular month, we received an allowance into my salary current account which i put into fixed deposit with the same bank so as not to overspend. I ask you, if i liquidate the fixed deposit 2 months to application and the bank credits back into my salary current account (where the funds were taken from initially) with the proceeds, would it still be "Money Lodgement"? kindly note that 1. the trasaction is directly traceable to the account, 2. all my salary and other allowances go thru the account, so there is history of income and expenditure over a long time, 3. i shall attach with application all the fixed deposit certificates given for the period as well as a detailed explanation refering to the bank statement on when the funds were debited by the bank and were credited back too. 4. The funds is good enough to sustain us for the trip as well as have something left for after the trip. Thank you.

t9t9:

I am of the opinion that you don't have to liquidate your fixed deposit to build your current account. I feel it makes sense to add an investment letter from the bank as evidence of the fixed deposit. @ Vicjustice, please confirm if this makes sense for USA visa as this is what i intend to do.

Awaiting your quick response.

justmenoni: @Vicjustice i sent you a private message,did you rcv it?

Adisaogo01: I have a similar problem about account inflation.I was given an appeal based on d fact that my account was artificially inflated do I go about the appeal pls.

justmenoni: @Vicjustice i dropped it here on nairaland,We were having an argument here together with my friends about doing a masters degree in Germany and i was of the opinion that the approx 8,000 euro will cover the applicant alongside his wife and child if they all apply together and my fiend said No that one needs to fixed the 8000 euro for each applicants,we searched on google to no avail and their embassy are closed over the weekends,please en-light more on this if you have an idea...Thx a bunch and sorry about the other time

justmenoni: Thanks for the message and no they are not relying on the 8000 euros,but you know the embassy wants approximately 8000 euros in a fixed account in Germany,so what am asking is if the 8000 euro fixed in the account in Germany is adequate to secure the visa for the applicants as well as accompanying members.

dommfa: Hi. Please I applied for visiting visa a month ago but was rejected based on and I quote <b>"you have stated in your visa application that your sponsor who is your father will finance you. However, you have failed to provide satisfactory evidence of your sponsor's income. I have therefore been unable to assess the impact the sponsorship would have on your sponsor's financial circumstances and whether such a sponsor is viable and credible. I am not satisfied that the evidence submitted confirms the ability of your sponsor to finance you as you claimed. Therefore on the balllance of probabilities, I'm not satisfied that you will be maintained and accommodated in the UK without working or having recourse to public funds..."</b>
My father had 4 million in his account and I said in my form the money I would need for 12 days of my visit was N750 000. I want to know what the problem was & if & when I can re-apply.
Thank you.

2000: I applied for US visiting visa but got denied and I was still in the University then.
2006: I applied for South African visa and was granted, this I used for a training.
2010(Nov): I applied for US visiting visa but got denied and I used an Aunty's invite(I am now married since 2007 with 2 kids).
2011(Mar): I applied for UK visa and was granted,I stated the US visa denial in my application(first time application and it was processed/approved within 4 working days)
2012(Mar): I applied for Germany Schengen Visa and was granted.

I will like to apply for a US visa by end of this year using conference and hotel reservation
Based on the above what do you think about the outcome.
Thanks

Vicjustice: Haba, Osarodion! No one is a prophet here. But seriously, would anyone's opinion have any effect in your plan to apply for the visa?
