Please kindly analyse and proffer solution to this refusal letter. Thanks

So sorry about your refusal. Your application was refused under paragraph v4.2( a) and( c)
(a) The Eco is not satisfied that u will leave the UK at the end of your visit
(b) That u are genuinely seeking entry as a visitor.

In next application try to convince the ECO that you are genuinely seeking entry as a visitor and you will leave the UK as soon as y vacation is over. Give prove of ties, your family and job to convince eco that you have strong ties that will make u returned home.

Your personal and financial circumstances was what was used to evaluate your application and supporting documents.

You said " you are planning to spend 420k (£931) on your visit to the UK and that no one else is contributing towards the costs" That is 14 days trip.

Your budget is not sufficient for a 14days trip to the UK.
How much is your flight ticket returned, your accommodation, living expenses and shopping?
Let me assume this estimate
Flight fare= 260k
Accommodation= 100k ( Hostel for 14 nights)
260+100k= 360k
420 - 360 = 60k
So u are left with 60k which is like £140. Not sufficient enough for living expenses, tourist attractions fees and shopping. The ECO expects you to make available sufficient budget for your trip. He doesn't want you to come and be stranded which leads you to depend on public funds or try to work. My advice in your next application increase your budget if you are making a 14days trips which will be sponsored by U. U earn good salary so your budget should not be managed, or bin selfish to your your self. Make a budget that will make life comfortable for u in your visit.

There are number of large withdrawals made from y account e.g 400k which is more than the stated monthly expenses you stated. You stated 70k as monthly expenses.
You also stated that you have no saving or any income in the application. This makes the ECO not satisfied how your opening bank statement is 1,730,560 when u claimed you have no saving. Eco is not able to identify how these funds have accumulated given your monthly disposable income. So ECO have used the large withdrawals to evaluate you on your financial circumstances.
My advice in your next application try to increase your monthly expenses aleast 100k, money that u know is very sufficient to take care of all your needs in a month. You earn a good salary, atleast let the ECO know that u are not been stigin to your self. That is where the consider your personal circumstances. U earn 380, atleast, if u comfortably spent 100k and save the remaining 280k, not bad at all.

Finally in next application, be careful on your withdrawals, d'nt withdraw more than your stated monthly disposal. And if you also have credit entries that are large, apart from your salary try to explain to eco in cover letter with prove.

My refusal today

First you didn’t provide enough docs from your sponsor e.g proof of sponsor’s accommodation in UK.

Secondly, from the ECO point of view you only provided payslip and bank statement and this made the ECO to doubt your employment. Did you include work appointment letter, introduction letter, work ID etc

Have helped a friend with a similar case, you have a strong case here. Get sufficient docs from your sponsor, I do understand some sponsors do feel reluctant to give out some personal docs. The ECO believes if truly the sponsor is a family, he or she should trust you with his docs. Reason the ECO stated that he doubted your relationship with the sponsor as a family.

My advice - reapply get all docs from sponsor, provide enough docs relating to your employment, make sure your salary is reflecting in your bank statement, no lump payment in your account and no huge withdrawal. You could make the next visit Xmas holiday

Good luck

Then either the visa center mistakenly omitted some of your documents or the ECO did not see them because data page of his British passport is a vital document.

Is either you reapply and attach letter of complain or you send a letter of complain pointing out documents you submitted so as to dispute ECO's refusal reasons

If you want to reapply ask him to also send you the front cover of his British passport

Please dear house for those of us that their visa is successful kindly let us know your opening and closing balance. And supporting documents submitted while those that are not successful should kindly post refusal to get advice on next application. We also learn alot from these refusals and to make adjustments where necessary.

My observation from a refusal letter I read, we should all be careful of withdrawals now. Pls let us be careful of large withdrawals from our account, like the way we are careful with credit entries. Make sure that you did not withdraw more than the stated monthly disposal u wrote in y application. ECO are looking for slightest way to deny visa, let us be careful! The way we work on our credit entries let us do so to our withdrawals.

Thank you for your explanatory response. At times, I wonder why some ECOs don’t scrutinise visa application very well. I only stated in the application that I will visit for only 6 days, from 8th to 14th September.

The large withdrawals were monies for a building project which I embarked on and also payments for my Postgraduate program. Though I never thought it could be an issue as I would have submitted receipts as evidenced if the withdrawals.

How do I establish savings from my previous salary? I have been earning salary since 2012, hence the opening balance.
