Log into your profile online and go to the ''Check Application Status'' section. There you will find the decision on your application

justwise:
You have more outgoing that incoming in your account so without another source of income your final bank balance will be questionable.

A different ECO will treat your application if you reapplied, so its likely to be another issue. inconsistency in your bank statement will always raise an eye brow so its important that you sort that out.

If you believed that the ECO made a mistake and that you did not deposit huge amount in your account then reapply and point that out else think carefully about reapplication.

inphoenix:
The 200k was a transfer I made from my account on 05/07/17. The 200k that appeared twice in my deposit were reversal of the money i transfered. Same date I tried transfering 150k, but the 150k was also returned immediately. So it's not as if the monies were deposited.

The acc statement I submitted was dated March to August.

So you advice I get another statement of account from May to October and explain the 200k.

Another thing is that I stated 16/10/17 as my travel date. If i decide to reapply this week, should I stick to this date in my new application or get another letter from my office?
Thank you.


I reckon the large deposits he's referring to are probably those ones between 3rd and 5th July. If you stated that your salary is your only source of income, then question remains how did those credits come about? If you stated that you have a side business or receive money from other sources, family, friends, gifts etc, you should explain the source convincingly in your application. Otherwise it is considered lodgement which they frown at. However, given that the ECO misread the debit and credit entries in the statement, you may wish to capitalize on the ECOs error on those dates and reapply. Stress it that the entries on those dates he mentioned are debits and not deposits and a decision based on the ECOs error is unfair and you want a reconsideration. Hopefully they wouldn't raise the issues of those multiple 200k lodgements in July. If you can explain them, you are good to reapply, (but January to June Statement is dated o! April/May to October statement is ideal) if not, I suggest you wait a few months and ensure no bulk funds is paid for the duration you're going to print the statement.

I'm really sorry but i can't. Just come up with an itinerary that groups tourist attractions together. So if you are staying in Manchester and want to go to London to see some sights, either book a hotel for one night in London or write it clearly on your schedule that you will go to so and so places in London and return by night train. When writing tourist attractions, you can't write that you will go to Alton Towers, go to water park etc on the same day. These are attractions that are full day entertainment on their own. It would also be good to put like a daily schedule so that it shows that you have done some research and are prepared rather than some random tourist attractions.

Kindly remove your mail address, scammers can be on the prowl.

It is good to group the tourist sites you want to see together such that they are in proximity. Also, where you stay has to be sort of close or easy to get to. You can't give an address in London and say you want to visit Beatles Museum in Liverpool. Even within the same city. Also, your address has to be somewhere tourists usually go to or your tourist sites are close to it. If you want to visit, then do a proper research on how much it will cost and where the tourist sites are.

I wanted to give an example of my itinerary but i changed my mind as world people can copy it word for word and cause me wahala because it doesn't follow the normal pattern.

If your mother in law knows your sister in person as someone living in the UK. Then it is reasonable she mention her as a family friend and provide information on (your sister). Since 2012 I have been using my sister husband parents who are UK citizens as family member that I know and stayed with in the UK and I have never had any problem. In 2015, I added my sister to family member list, when she had UK Permanent Residence. In 2017, I added my wife to the family member list, after she acquired her British passport. Your mother in law would be okay because the reasons for her visit is understandable. Just hope for the best.

Advisory:
you can do both

Advisory:
Please explain it the way you just did in your future application.

Advisory:
Playing the devils advocate here, why did you not use your cousins address in the first place?

ekpotek:
UEA entry stamp does not really matter as anyone can visit Dubai if they can afford! The cost of your trip will include air ticket, accommodation, local transport event tickets etc. Since you plan to stay with your cousin, establishing this relationship will be the key to your success. So focus on that aspect.

You refusal was based on the fact that you choose to stay in an hotel that was very far from town and tourist sites. That hotel is normally used by transit passengers and not tourist! The funding issues was secondary, as the ECO have already decided that you do not know where you are going visit. Do you have good travel history to convince the ECO as a frequent tourist in your new application? Did you disclosed that you have a cousin in the UK your last application? To address the refusal letter, simple tell the ECO that you were naive in your last application and that you have now done extensive research on the UK this time around. List the tourist sites, its significance to you and why you love to visit. Draw up an itinerary of you day-to-day schedule in the UK. Above all, try and convince the ECO why you prefer to visit the UK and not the USA or Japan!

Advisory:

have you not done the research as to proximity of the tourist centres to your cousins house
where does your cousin live?
which tourist centres in UK do you want to go to?

daer feranmi84, please be careful with this. this should be a budget of your trip, summing up what you are contributing and what your host/sponsor is contributing. have your host give you a signed letter with what resources they are contributing to your trip and with how much. be specific with the amount. this will generally depend on how long you intend to stay and 3000 CAD should be more than enough even for a trip to expensive Montreal but be ready to show this funds clearly in your statements or your sponsor's. money is usually not an issue in a US/Canada application unless you're seeking a student visa.my opinion. best of luck
