askari01:

You can present that account as well since it is yours unless you have something to hide.

You have successfully compromised your salary account by transferring 700k which is not verifiable. The entry clearance officer will be quick to reject your application. This is a very common case. Large transactions on the bank accounts near visa application dates are always a red flag scenario and good grounds for refusal

It doesn't matter if the account belongs to you or not. The question is how did you make the money in your account B? From your other business I presume. But you have no paper/documents to show for this. I am afraid the eco is not interested unless you can substantiate with documents, receipts, business tax clearance certificate and what have you.

It is important to provide documentary evidence of inflows otherwise I'll advise you wait for another 6 months when the 700k won't reflect in your salary account statement printout.

rinw:


thanks alot for this info. If i transfer the 700K back to where it came from i will now have a closing balance of about 3.1M, please does this neutralize the mistake?

[b]hello house i want to submit my UK visa application for a 5days security management training, i am submitting the following SOA of 1.3million, children birth cert my marriage is traditional which i stated it in my form CAC MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING showing me as one of the director i also manager the security aspect of the company invitation letter showing payment of 1,200pounds out of 1700pouds training fees hotel flight, i have travel to turkey and some African countries what are my chances thank[/b]s

FrontPageLawyer:


Is the £1,200 refundable if visa is not issued?

castiello:


yes it is i paid because without that an invitation will not be issued and i need that training badly

FrontPageLawyer:


I asked the question because £1,200 is a significant amount which doesn't bother the entry clearance officer. If your application is not straightforward, it will be rejected even if you'd paid the complete £1,700.

How long has the company been in existence and what is your active role in the company?

You also didn't mention your company's tax clearance certificate which is the most important document the entry clearance officer wants to see. It is used to evaluate your company and its financially strength.

Let us look at the financial aspect.

What is the yearly turnover of the company?


the company tax was paid to 2014 not upto date so i rather not put it and the company is a family company, that we 3 brother control with everybody facing his or her own expertise i am an T.I professional in computer security, my closing balance is 1.3m and i run my account very well the program is self sponsored the company is only paying for my flight the main thing is that i only added prove of me being a director not because the company is paying for the trip, more so after paying 1200pounds i am left with 1.3m and before the program in june my account will be way more than 1.3 as for salary we don't take salary we are paid on commission from every job executed as a director

As a director in the company, how much do you earn monthly?

Do you have a salary account and pay slips showing your tax deduction?

What is your statement closing balance? 1.3m?

What is the total cost of the training including flight, hotel, feeding? close to 1.5m?

Who is paying for the trip and why?

@frontpagelawyer and others. pls answer my Question.

Hello house, i want to submit my
application this week , this is my
budget for 8days.
kindly advice me on it.
Flight---- £530 (medview airline)
Hotel-----£264 (hotel in Ilford,
Essex)
feeding/transport--£360
Total----- £1154.
my salary is #250k and the balance
in my salary statement of account
is #850k.
pls is this prudent?

salsera:

Only you can answer if spending 1154 is prudent.
What I'm curious about I how you will get from Gatwick to Ilford

salsera:
Lekansola

You may nd someone more diplomatic to answer you.

But do you know where Ilford is?
Do you know to get to Gatwick from Ilford and vice versa

On what basis is your budget on with food and transport expenses.

Do the math for 1154 based on black market rates cos that's your best case scenario.

Then you would have answered your question.

I cant tell you if its okay or not its ur money.

By the way I doubt this trip is yours anyways

@castiello

How do you intend to convince the eco about your employment/job and where you make your money from? I am assuming you're a freelancer, do you have documents of past and present jobs completed with evidence of payments?

Your application is not straightforward and these are my observations.

1. You're a director of a company that is not tax compliance; meaning the company has stopped functioning or hasn't done any job/contract since 2014 since its tax clearance certificate is not updated. Let me also inform you that embassies/consulates are aware that just anybody can register a company in Nigeria and list friends and families as board of directors since it is compulsory you have at least a director listed as a shareholder.

2. No salary structured. The eco needs to know your monthly earnings from verifiable source even if you get commission from the family company, there must be paper evidence to show for it.

3. To my understanding, you proposed to spend £1,700, plus hotel and feeding in the UK for a training from a closing balance of less than 2M. This makes no economic sense especially at this harsh time. Your budget is unrealistic and does not commensurate with your personal and financial circumstances going by your closing balance.

You have also failed to substantiate how your earnings are made.
It does not matter if your have a closing balance of £1M; if the eco is not satisfied with the source of funds, the decision won't favour you and you'll be perceived as an intending immigrant for proposing to spend about 50% of your entire savings on a training.
