Hello Julmbachu,

One thing in using a 3rd party sponsor is you have to prove beyond doubt why the person(s) have chosen to Sponsor you and what he/she stands to gain from sponsoring you. Also they try to check if the person ever sponsored you or just woke up or morning and decided to sposnor you? Now, is good he/she was your wedding Sponsor, so why would you want to leave that important information out?

So I would advice that you state it clearly in your SOP that he/she have always sponsored you and even sponsored your wedding. Attach wedding card that showed where it is stated he/she is your sponsor, then also attach picture proof (if you have pictures of you, your family and the sposnor at different functions) to solidify your proof. This is just to prove established long term relationship with this sposnor.

Now it happens your sponsor is your MD/CEO and your employer right? Now since the fund is coming from the company account, you will need board of directors letter of authorization, which will state that the board is aware of the Sponsorship and have consented to it.

Also, let your sponsor draft a letter with title "LETTER OF EXPLANATION". In this letter, Let him/her discus this points

1) Why he/she wants to sponsor you?

2) Relationship to applicant and previous sponsorship to applicant. (Why you explain yours in your SOP, this is where your sposnor will now explain his or her own sponsors he/she has rendered to you) please let your own and his/her own explanation not be same (plagiarism) but be explaining same thing. So if you're the one to draft it, let your choice of english be different but mean same thing.

3) How financially stable he/she is. Here, he/she explain how financially stable he/she is to sponsor you without it affecting the business, taking care of his immediate family.

4) What he/she and the company stands to gain from sponsoring you.

Then let him/her conclude the letter with summary of the 4points discussed above (Just summary).

Please since he/she is sponsoring you from the company account, Let him/her notarize this LOE along with sponsorship Letter, sponsorship declaration, board of directors consent letter all typed in company's letter headed paper, sign and stamp where necessary, then send it for notarizing.

Yes you need to attach your statement of accounts, preferably your salary account to show inflows and outflows and not all about sitting balance as you already have sposnor. Payslips, leave letter approval letter, etc

As for the portal to use and apply with, is your choice. I don't encourage anyone to use a preferred one. Both serve same purpose. As per how fast each is, someone by name Semtu applied through the GCKey ( the one applicants here call old portal lol, and got decision so fast that even the ones who applied with the new portal before him/her are still waiting. So the choice is yours. But have one thing in mind, in the new portal, the max size of documents to be uploaded is 2mb while in GCKey is 4mb. So make your choice ok

That's my little opinion. Let others guide you too.

All the best.

Please, house I need help. I'm still new to using this interface, so kindly pardon my errors.

I want to know which of my support documents require notarization. Or is it all the documents for upload that have to be notarized?

Secondly, where is the appropriate place to get a document notarized?

Please all my geeks, mentors, plus the entire house, I need information.
