Please people in the house, How do I apply for a visiting visa for my sister who have just finished schooling and has not started working. What documents can she use to tie her home. I will be the one to send her invitation and I will also sponsor her.

tunderule2016:



That is a bit tricky and hard... with the present situation with denials.... I do not want to scare you but i have to be objective.... first how old is she? where is she staying presently , is it with your parents (why asked is to try and build a case with parents). When do you plan for her to come .... and when you say schooling (University i presume?)

With the present situation you posted , there is high chance of denial except a great case is built... so answer the few questions above and will see the advice i can help with.

eyiye:
She is 27 years old, she just finished university and her NYSC. She is presently staying with our parents. I plan for her to come in July.

For younger applicants, it's generally very difficult to prove the strong ties to their home country and therefore it makes it quite difficult for them to get the visitors visa but not impossible. Since she's not been able to form many ties, the entry clearance officer may look at specific intentions, family situations, long range plans and prospects within the country of residence.

List the documents you're sending from your end and also let her list the ones she has e.g Bsc, professional development training certificates e.t.c

Hello bro, please I intend to apply for a vistor visa next month are I have an invitation letter from my brother who has a residence permit, I have 2m in my account, a letter from my employers I am a lawyer and my salary is 100k. What are my chances? Thanks for your response

FrontPageLawyer:


If your brother is providing accommodation. He needs to send you his mortgage bill, utility bill, copy of his passport data page with clear evidence of his immigration status in the UK. A letter of invite clearly stating he will accommodate and provide feeding for the duration of your stay. On your part, you will need your 6 months pay slip, 6 months bank statement, employment letter, introduction letter from company, leave letter, call to bar certificate and other documents to proof your ties to Nigeria, this may be property documents, shares documents, inheritance, marriage certificate, children birth certificate etc.

Be informed that the N2m closing balance cannot guarantee you a UK visa if it is not from a verifiable source with paper evidence. The eco's interest is how the money was made and not how much you have in your bank account. Also you must be realistic preparing your budget for the trip which must commensurate with your earnings.

tunderule2016:


Under what category did you submit... Visitor or otherwise?

tunderule2016:


In your bank statement it will show that you have been paid meaning credited . In your account do you have someone aside from your employer that deposits money into your account? If you do ... that will make your live easier... or moreso, you should do invoices for some of the payments made into your account and make sure they are stamped or on a letter headed. That proves ties and work you have done...

If lump sums are deposited for the purpose of this visa application.. i will advise you should be careful because you will be refused. They are smart psychologists and one of the best at what they do.. so as FrontPageLawyer make sure you balance your sheet very well.

Good luck!!!

tunderule2016:


How long have you been a lawyer or been working in or at your present company ? this might help to be able to advice you more

FrontPageLawyer:


Large inflows from unverifiable source which reflects in your statement of account prior to application are always a red flag scenario and good grounds for refusal. It is a very common case.

Prepare a strong cover letter and attach it to your application. You shouldn't have a problem doing it. It's your professional field.

harry41:

Thank u for your reply. The inflow has been for over six months and they are from my clients.

harry41:

Thanks for your reply. I receive money from various sources and it has been like this for over 6months and this is not my salary account but personal. I will get the receipts you said

FrontPageLawyer:


If you’re going to the UK for a conference, meeting or training, you should apply for Standard Visitor visa and not short study visa.

yes its under standard but with option of academic study since my application is on security management its under academic study and not student visa

wearnfit:
It varies, not a fixed amount..... Cos it involves sewing of female outfits and sales of fabrics.....
