In this occasion unfortunately you can't sponsor your sister, she need to be to sponsor herself.

She is not earning enough to have a strong tie to Nigeria.

Wow ok thanks, they should stop pretending one can sponsor family member then. Anyway thanks for your help.

worry359:

What they are saying in an indirect way.
Because she can not fund the trip herself
they feel that her ties to return home are weak.
They suspect that there is more chance of her overstaying.

She must present strong ties to home.

She has a son And we submitted his birthday certificate, shame has a job as a teacher working with the state government and she supports my mother what other ties do they need?

Guys can anyone please explain this to me as I find it unreasonable.
My sister applied for a visit visa but was rejected for this reason which I find strange. Does it mean I can't sponsor her because she is a teacher and earn less money 40k naira? Even though I stated that I was paying the whole travel expenses and have already given her the money which has been in her account since October and I declared it as it was a transfer from my Nigerian account.

Here is the refusal letter.

Please I have a question I need help, my brother has invited me to come visit him for xmas in the uk he will be sending all his documents next week. My question is I work as a teacher in a state school but my salary was 52k and has been receiving only 70% for months now due to government not paying in full, now I take home 37k every month but since my brother is paying for the trip and he has already deposited some money in my acc last month do I have a chance of getting the visa?

Birhagos:
No you don't. It's for applicants coming to the uk on long term. Eg staying in the UK for more than 6 months
