[quote author=Mrmoney90 post=118025877]Good evening Hux
Please guys I need help on these questions @Mrmoney90 @Giselle273 and others
Please how do I make payment for visitors visa
Is it something I can do with Nigeria visa or master card or can my sister use her pounds account abroad?
Is it possible to do the application myself?
And lastly My sister’s graduation is 7th of December, do I stil have time if I do priority?

I will advise that you shouldn’t make the mistake of boosting your account for visit visa purpose. That’s a dead end for a refusal. The ECO is not interested in how much bank balance you have but by how well your account is run and how it affects your application, both inflow and outflow. So you have to be very careful.

Good thing for you that you have a sponsor. Since your sister is going to cover full sponsorship for your trip, then she will have to show proof that she has sufficient funds to cover for your trip as well as her own personal circumstances there in the Uk. She will provide you with a letter as well, stating she is inviting you and why she will be paying towards your trip.

Question: How does she survive in the uk? What type of job does she do and how much does she earn? All these are factors that would be looked into when considering your application. Maybe if she has 5000 pounds balance, that could suffice for the account.

More so, since your sister is sponsoring, there is no problem with your salary account balance as you are not the one paying for the trip. All the ECO wants is to see that your salary inflow is regular and constant as that is how your personal circumstance here in Nigeria will be judged.

You also need to include your savings account statement. There is a portion on the form that says if you have any savings, you can say yes there.

You will need a letter of absence from work (leave), and also another one stating your job contract as well as how much you earn.

Your sister will attach her ID or passport. If you will be staying with her, she will also provide her utility bill. She can also provide you with pay slips if she has any

For your personal circumstances, do you have children? How long have you been married? You can include these details as well as documentation to prove them, such as marriage certificate, your children’s birth certificate etc.

As for the money your husband gave to you, that can be a red flag, as the ECO would assume it’s for account boosting. So I would suggest you say the money your husband sent is the money he wants to either use to purchase goods or maybe pay rent and he only sent it to your account to avoid using it for something else.

God bless you sir
I really appreciate

Mrmoney90:
I think something like this was discussed here before. Your sister can submit her bank statement since She Is Sponsoring.

But my concern is that your husband already gave you 1.5 million as travel expenses, so Would there really be any need for your sister sponsoring?

Maybe Your sister can only write you a letter of invitation. However, if she will be paying for part of the trip, then it can be stated on your application form and why. In that case, she can submit her account statement to show she can pay for part of the trip as stated.

Now I would believe the 1.5 million isn’t for account boosting? If not, that’s a no no. But if it’s for travel expenses like you said, then your husband can also write a letter declaring he gave you the 1.5 million and why. I think he will need to show his bank statement to prove he earns so much to give you that amount as travel expenses.

Thank you for your response
God bless
The 1.5 was transferred into my personal savings account which already has abt 600k as my savings since January, My salary account has about 200k in it,will only the salary acc be enough to show along side my sisters account statement ?
“Kindly advise how much should be in my account for poof of fund or account boosting for the purpose of visit because it isn't stated on the uk govt website, unlike student visa that is clearly stated”

Good morning everyone
Please I need help on this
My sister is inviting me for her graduation coming up in December, she is ready to submit her bank statement as a sponsor. I work with federal govt in a university and also with my husband but they are owing my husband 8months salary (ASSU) meaning He can’t submit his own bank statement as a sponsor.

My questions is this; How do I bring my husband into the picture so uk vi won’t think I’m running away?
My husband also transferred 1.5m into my account as uk travel expenses.
