@KISHKOSH;
1. Use the bank with enough fund, but if you feel like adding the gtbank account then no problem(but its not a must).
2. Pictures aren't accepted(for paper route), a letter of support fromhim stating he has been helping you out with your studies and other things will do, also you should state it boldly in your SOP as well.
3. Family tree isn't compulsory as well, but if you can then no qualms. But another way you can show relationship is getting your mum's birth cert and that of your uncle or his international passport(with your mum and him having same surname). Even at that you and your uncle will still state it in your SOP and letter of support respectively.
4. Submit all your accounts statements(as long as you have money in it, no matter how small).
NB: Make sure your uncle state the exact amount he will be contributing to your studies in his letter of support and IF POSSIBLE LET HIM TRANSFER THE SAID AMOUNT INTO YOUR BANK ACCOUNT OR PAY TO YOUR SCHOOL to show commitment, since he is a third party(the instruction in CAPs is my sincere advise).

God bless you sir .

What exactly do you want to know bro? I haven't been following your case

@Austinpee4 , @mcobex and other gurus, plus help me out

I have an uncle I work in his office who wants to be my sponsor . He has been responsible for my education for the past 15 years , and he pays my salary from his GTB account cuz of the easy USSD mobile banking option it has. But I intend to use his other bank account for sponsorship details cuz that's where his major transactions are.
Now , I want to ask that should I present his GTB account details as well to show that he has been paying me salary or just letter of introduction stating that I work in his company is enough.



Secondly , I have some pictures where my uncle was present in my convocation , can I show this as well to buttress the fact that he's been my guardian from time immemorial ?

Number 3, This my uncle is my mother's brother , do I need to draw any family chart or I should just say in my SOP that he's my mom's brother and present my mom's birth cert ,

And lastly , should I present my bank statement of last six month that has just little balance in addition to my newly opened fixed deposit account(which contain about 15m ) ? Or just the fixed deposit is sufficient .

Pardon my long post pls, my question seems peculiar as I couldn't get some ting similar in previous posts . Thanks

Austinpee4:

Responded.

Thank you sir. I have responded too.

Austinpee4:

Errm, i would actually suggest we tackle whatsoever it is here so others can benefit and learn a thing or two. I may help privately if it's a review of SOP.

Well Bro , I reason and totally agree with you.but I'm actually trying to reach you for a different reason entirely,ergo I earnestly entreat you to grant me an audience

Thank you .

Austinpee4:

Regards bro.

If the government scholarship is recognized by cic it will scale through. Does the funding cover your tuition and living expenses?
As for your uncle, I ALWAYS ADVISE THIRD PARTY TO SHOW COMMITMENT by transferring funds to applicant's account.

Thank you sir

Austinpee4:

Oh nice! Should be easy then.

@Austinpee4. Pls I sent you a mail. Kindly respond sir.
I would appreciate it sir.

Austinpee4:

We have seen in previous times where an application was refused because of the integrity of the scholarship body and it's failure in remittance of funds. As a matter of fact, i am helping a fellow overcome this issue.

While it would be okay using just the scholarship letter as proof of award of scholarship, ensure your co-sponsor show credibility and reliability to a substantial extent. Uncle is a 3rd party sponsorship and as such would need to show some level of commitment towards your study and also state that he would be your support financially should the scholarship body fail to remit funds to you in time.

I now advise people to use a DEED of GIFT for funds transferred from a 3rd party in addition to the affidavit of sponsorship with a cogent reason for expending such funds towards the applicant's study if possible. This is a document that can be tendered as evidence that the 3rd party has willingly gifted the funds and no refund is expected.

Add his statement of account and also include all evidence and proof of his income/source.

Regards.

God bless you sir

To me, travel history is not really a reason for denial(you will see that when you get your gcms note).
As for the purpose of visit, I can't comment cos you didn't state your intended programme, your previous programme, your working experience(if any).... knowing all these will give me a clearer picture of your case. As for your SOP, I think it still depend on me getting answers to the above questions I asked above

Hello house , pls, I have government funded scholarship/sponsorship for my master . But they won't pay into my account until my visa is out and ready to travel.
Plus, my uncle who is also my employer is supporting me, but will only make available his bank statement and affidavit of sponsorship.


Can I apply for visa with just the letter of sponsorship from government and my uncle without them paying into my account at the time of making my application ?

Austinpee4:

The idea of including a statement of account is to show availability of funds for your your study(first year) ,living expenses as well as showing your overall financial strength. If the required funds is in either of the accounts, use any. However, you MUST show proof or sources of transactions in the account to buttress any claim you are making.
