Thanks so much Cochtrane for this information, but with regards to the bank statement to be attached to the POF, the only bank statement I currently have with an average inflow is my company account. I don’t have a personal one I use actively. Is it very necessary to attach the bank statement? Or can something else be attached. A letter of explanation maybe?

Secondly please what do you mean by tight documentation under travel history?

Thanks

Welcome to the thread!

1. Attach your bank statement to your POF. That should sort your worry about creation of the fixed deposit. For the gift from your mum, use a gift deed to take care of that. Check here for details on gift deed and for templates you can use.

2. A previous visa denial will not affect your application. Just make sure to answer "Yes" under the question requesting this information while submitting your application. You may also have to provide the reason you were issued a denial. It doesn't affect your application anyways. Since it's a UK denial, you may end up with the dreaded London Visa Office. Nothing to be scared of; just put together tight documentation under travel history.

Wish you the best.

Hello everyone �

I’m new here! Been following your threads for about 4 days before officially joining. Kudos to this platform and those assisting people on here.

I am one of those anxious few who have recently gotten their ITAs and are trying to make sure they get it right for a PR.

I would also like to ask questions and I’d appreciate a kind reply.

1) in relation to the POF (my major worry), I would like to create a Fixed deposit of about 1.5m with gtbank and my mum wants to gift me with about 2.3m. My major concern is, would the creation of the new fixed deposit raise a red flag? If that would be the case, what is the most advisable supporting document to attach to the new investment report? Secondly for the gift from my mum, what would be the best way to present proof of the gifted amount without further questioning from the CIC Official?

2) I had been denied a UK visa about 4 years ago. Is this likely to affect my application in anyway? And will they require further documentation for my other travel records?


Can someone please assist with these difficulties.

Thank you �
