Vicjustice:

I suspect that you did not satisfy the visa officer of the availability of your sponsor's funds hence your "Personal Assets and financial status" came into question, otherwise, I don't see why this question should come into a student visa application: or, perhaps you've been out of school for a considerable period of time?

Thanks for your very informative post, its been years now and its still going on. Wow! must be stressful answering all these questions.

I need to make an inquiry however, i am applying for a uk visitor's visa next month, its my first time and i have never traveled out of the country. I am applying for 6months because i feel it might be easier to get for me. My statement of account is not healthy or does not meet the requirements that you stated. My cash flow is not constant and in the last 6months sometimes i get 40,000 sometimes it shoots up to 180,000 naira in the account but thats it. i am 25 years old and i want to know if i can forget about my statement of account and just use my dad as sponsor. theres also a property that i am next of kin to. i need to know if these things count. I am a fashion designer. can i state such
you spoke breifly about the sponsor but i need to understand the sponsor part. i know you dont get paid for this so i will appreciate your candid advise. thanks
