hello house,
Is there an age limit for education sponsorship? can someone who's 29 be sponsored to do masters?

ekpotek:
There is no format or form. There is section in the online application form for additional information. Here you can explain it. If the space in the form is not enough, then include a cover note to notify the ECO that lump sum of xxxxx is due to maturity of your investment and is mere concidental and not a fund lodgement for visa application. It will also be wise to get a letter from your cooperative confirming the payment etc.

ekpotek:
If you are unwilling or unable to full explain with documents the origin of the proposed lump sum and why it was paid into your account. The safest thing to do is either cash out the money or instruct your cooperative to pay it into another bank account. At your age and since you’re working, you cannot use a sponsor, unless your travel is business related and not for touring.

alert20:
I think that will depend on your age bracket..
if you are above 25yrs I wouldn't advice you to use a sponsor...

yes your statement of account is also a good tie to your home country.

Hello gurus in the house,

My situation goes like this, my account balance presently do not have enough money on it, though there's enough cash inflow which includes my salary and monies paid into my account for some of my side hustles. Prior to my visa application lumps sums of money will be paid into my account, this is not deliberate. It just happens that my cooperatives will be paying me my savings at this time.

I was told there's a column in the form I can use to explain the lumps sums in my account, but I do not want to risk it. It might not be too convincing to the ECO.

My question is can I use someone as a sponsor? the person has enough cash inflow and balance.

Will my account statement be needed for the application since I'm using a sponsor?

Note: I have never traveled outside the country before

blank:
Explain the general concept of co-op. Then highlight all the deductions from your account. Do a summary of how it all added up to it. It's what I will do in your shoes.

justwise:
Explain exactly where the money came from, there is no other way to explain it

Baba Ramo,

The truth is that an individual has the right to visit countries of interest, equally, nations have the right to set guidelines for those they will admit into their countries. So, it is at the discretion of the intending visitor to determine whether or not, he or she wants to subject himself/herself to such strict requirements. It is an open secrets that USA has one of such stringent requirements. They have hide the fact that every intending visitor is a potential immigrant to their country, so the applicant has to convince the VOs that he's not by showing that he has strong ties to his country of residence.

Someone travelled to Europe and returned to Nigeria would have demonstrated some ties to Nigeria, so the more frequent such trips are made, then the more travel history becomes stronger ties for such a person.

cosade:
Yes, it is a tie. Unfortunately, it does not look strong. Undergraduate studies can easily be abandon for "better prospects" in USA.
Only two years with this media outfit.

All you have listed are not learnt at conferences.

Save your 57k and consider travelling elsewhere to build some travel history, my candid opinion.

cosade:
How come you have unstamped or clean passport when you said you have travelled out of the country before?

Chances are not discussed on this forum, rather you should evaluate your ties to Nigeria. For example:
-how long have been working with this media outfit? The longer the period, the stronger tie it becomes.[/b]
- do you play significant roles in your office such as anchoring or writing period features etc?
- is your media well established?
In order words, the easier it is to abandon your job, the weaker this tie becomes. It is generally assumed that a rational person will not abandon a "good job" though not true in all cases.

Besides your job, you may have other ties which you need to identify and self evaluate.

Ask your friend to read this thread but his chances of getting a visa is remotely slim.

You got your answer there^^

justwise:
You need to build your salary account for at least 6months before using it for visa application.

If you can show evidence of that cooperate contribution then good it could be used as part of your account history.

All you have to do is to explain it in your visa application form..that you do cooperate contrition from your salary.
