@kentdealer, so sorry to hear about your refusal.
I think one thing to look out according to the refusal letter is your disposal income and cost of the planned trip.
Looking at the documents you listed it shows that you can afford the trip with ease; however, it looks like the ECO seems to be concerned you planned to spend more than 6 months of your disposal income for the trip.
May be it's something for you to double check also.

Hello, thanks for the congratulatory message.

2. 1 month Payslip for my dad (no payslip for my FIL)
3. Visa letter from my UK bank (confirming I am a customer, my address, date I opened the account, current balance, and minimum balance in the last 28 days)
4. My last 3 month employment payslips
5. Passports

As for my MIL, she is unemployed and does not own any business. Her only source of income is funds from family and friends, so for her application I included all the documents above without an employment letter and payslip.

Note: No bank statement was submitted by me or any of them (only submitted my visa bank letter and my evidence of employment income).

Thanks.

Hello house,

Please does VFS Global Abuja centre offer super priority services for UK visit visa applications?

Hi Nairaland family, I need some guidance, please.
To sponsor someone for a UK visitor visa, can I use my UK bank letter only as the "evidence of funds available to you" or it must be my bank statement, please?
Also, must the person I want to sponsor provide his bank statement or my bank letter/statement alone is sufficient enough as evidence of funds, please for the person's visitor visa application?

Thank you.
