@ justwise thanks for your advice ... Yes out of ignorance and really solely on my then solicitors I made few mistakes .. But that's on my part. I returned to Nigeria voluntarily after my masters. My wife is 8 months pregnant so we expecting our baby soon ., she works and earns over £38,000 annually . We bought a property together. And she has never been to African prior to our wedding ... Besides I Recide in ph which as u know is the capital city of kidnapping and militancy .. So advice me pls .. An appeal has been filed and our MP has been notified .. Hopefully our child should be 3 months b4 the hearing of they don't have a change of heart b4 then.

I am applying for a visa to write an exam in 2 weeks time. I have all the necessary supporting documents.
I have however had to raise money from friends and family(various sources) to fund the trip.
Do I need some official documentation, apart from my bank statements, to prove the identity of those who sent money to me?
In other words, do I need official proof from my benefactors as per the lodgement in my account?
I have had money deposited in my account over a week and I am applying a month later, which is 3 months away from the test. The money is really for the exam and other expenses and not only for the purpose of getting a visa. Do I have to explain this apparent transfer to the ECO (NB...I work with a state government agency and have only been paid up till October, hence the paucity of money in my account prior to booking for the exam).
Helpful answers will be appreciated
justwise, FrontPageLawyer and other seasoned contributors, your opinions and advice will be welcome
Thanks

Doing the section in bold is very important.

abbey1986:


Yes she will be sending me invitation letter,bank statement,utilities receipt,resident status and other document I need from am invitee and I will also get some from my employee to back up my own status here.tanx

justwise:


Ok, you also need to add your marriage certificate and your kids birth certificte + your employment documents

abbey1986:


Yes for sure am going to add it for enough evidence and after getting all that will they consider me the visa base on past experience with them.

justwise:


You have to, it's very important that you do that, you have to explain why they are contributing to your trip.

RetroBoy:

Thanks. I will do that.
Does the ECO need proof of the identity or my relationship of who transferred money to my account?
