Emonj:
Hello Everyone, please can anyone give some explanation on what exactly it is the embassy wants to see as proof of funds in terms of amount and duration the amount has been in your bank account

dehiero:
hey brother it’s Julius it’s been a while I heard from you….you dn move? Pls Check your mail

giselle237:
sorry about the refusal. In my opinion, the officer feels the circumstances you have brought forward do not match and/or was basically just to obtain visa.. Also u might want to check your activity status on CAC. It’s not just you, most 1st timers with self employed status are having it tougher these days.

I just got a refusal letter from UKVI today.

Reason was: You have applied to enter the UK for 15 days for the purpose of tourism, I
acknowledge the documents you have submitted from your sponsors. However it is
your personal circumstances which is paramount in assessing your application.
You state that you are employed earning an annual income of 9,500,000 NGN
(£18,050). In support of your application you have provided documents in relation to
your company ……LTD, However these documents do not demonstrate that your
business is actively trading at the level of income you have declared on your
application,
You state that you will personally spend 700.000 NGN (£1,330) on your visit 1o the
UK. In support of you finances you have provided copies of your personal bank
statement which shows deposits that are not in line with what you have declared on
your application. Combined with the concerns raised regarding your employment, I
am not satisfied that your circumstances are as you have presented, leading me to
doubt your intention to visit the UK at this time.
• In light of the above, I am not satisfied that you intend leave the UK at the end of your
visit or that you are genuinely seeking entry as a visitor. Therefore your application is
refused under paragraphs V4.2 (a) & (c) of Appendix V.
Please guys Any advice on what to do next?

Good day everyone,

I just stumbled on this refusal from part 4 which I don't think anyone opined on & would like your guidance to enable me better prepare the cover letter.

My circumstances are pretty similar i.e. good earnings, but:

1. Large deposits from loan given to me 2 months ago (I couldn't change Forex due to low parallel rates at the time) to be be paid back in September (chat messages serves as proof. Additionally, proof of re-payment lodged in USD Dom account to be paid on agreed date). The money has since been used up but it involved payment for services to the party that loaned the money. To make it clearer, party A loaned me money, and upon receiving this, I used party A's services and had to pay them for it. Long group chats exist for this & can be used for source and use of funds if necessary.

2. Large deposits from proceed of Forex sale. I earn in USD and every half year or so, make large withdrawal in cash and slowly pay into personal account for use when needed. This year, in addition to salary, made some money from DSA from 4/5 work trips. I didn't count this as extra income given they are paid in cash and on arrival but I have letters to this effect.

I just decided on visa application recently but given my accounts (esp personal account where I operate my day-to-day expenses from) are chaotic, what do you advise?

If helpful, about my profile:
- 9 to 5 job with north of NGN1m (paid in $) monthly salary
- fairly good travel history i.e. UK years ago, US, UAE, Turkey, Lebanon for holidays and East/South African countries
- Applying for tourist visa
- My salary account/Dom account is very clean and has very good balance.

thanks all i do appreciate

Nchabuomo:
Better don't forget. It's a justifiable reason for visa refusal.

Nchabuomo:
You have to declare refusals.

royalmu:
The first question is like Jamb question and besides no one is forcing you to pay it. You can choose Ikeja and still be happy. For the second question, you need marriage photos to prove the marriage actually took place.

Balingz:
