Chinwem: I think you re honest. You don't have any savings which is true and you re still a student so it's not strange

When I was a student I presented my parents bank statements on several occasions

This is my experience and my opinion.....any body can chose to not to agree with this after all opinions are like noses

What else do you plan to tell the visa officer? A lie? That you run several businesses or import/ export alongside studies?

Stick with what you know .......Goodluck

Troyphelis: Hello guys, i am a student in the university and i am being sponsored by mother to travel to the UK as a tourist.

Troyphelis: Please i would like how to make an itinerary and whats involved.

Troyphelis: I applied for a tourist visa for 14days and i was refused. This is what the officer said:
 it says:1. "The onus is on you to qualify for entry clearance based on your own circumstances and your own intentions. I note that you have been previously issued a visit visa and travelled on 28/12/11. However each application must be treated on its own merits at the time the application is made".2. "You have stated that you are a student doing a Bachelor of Science at Central University College. In support of this you have provided a letter from them confirming that you are a second year student. However it does not state your progress and attendance to demonstrate your course commitmentand incentive to return to your studies after your proposed visit.3. "You also stated you are been supported by your mother who will pay for all of the expenses of your proposed visit. In support of this,she has provided a sponsor letter,business documents and bank statements. However,she has not provided any details of her income and financial commitments to demonstrate her abilitu to support you and I am unable to determine this from the evidence provided. Also,she has not provided any details as to the origins of the funds deposited into her bank account and whether they relate to her business,and I am unable to determine this from the evidence provided. I am not satisfied that the funds held in the account are under her exclusive control or that they are available for the purposes of your travel to the UK. I am therefore not satisfied that you have provides an accurate reflection of your personal and financial circumstances in Ghana as stated on your application.4. "I have noted that you are single and have not indicated anyone being reliant on you nor have you declaref any savings or assets. On the the balance of probablities,this demonstrates only limited ties to Ghana.Given the above,on the evidence before me,and the balance of probabilities,I am not satisfied that you have accurately presented your circumstances or intentions in wishing to enter the UK. This means that i am not satisfied that only a short visit is intended,or that you will leave the UK at the end of the period stated. I am also not satisfied that you will be adequately maintained and accomodated in the United Kingdom or that you can meet the cost of your return or onward journey.
Please help,i dont get it

dalobaba: God is truly the paramount eco. Nothing happens either good or bad without his consent. My mum has been given visa 3times without a bankstatement. I mean it. Thou they asked for it in her first application and she proved to them why she doesnt keep an account. She got her 2yrs visa twice without bankstatement. God skips protocols and procedures. Gbam!

smile101: Good people of nairaland....Please i need your advice on how to verify Visa if is fake or not...please your advice is urgently needed.

smile101: Thanks very much sir......I did not appear at the Embassy so that why am careful...before i pay the agent.....I will go to the airport then..But sometimes some fake visa travel from Nigeria and when they get to the country they are heading to then they will find out is face visa...this is my fear is the immigration we have here no their job

baslone: @justwise or @vicJustice- A quick one

My personal bank details show salary of 200k lodged into my account at the last week of every month for the past 5months from the company account. I am the CEO of the company and I intend to support my application with both my personal and company's bank statement.

Mt first question is- Do I have to issue/present pay slips to support the provision of a salary paid to myself?

kapela3: @ Vicjsutice, please can I apply for an Irish student visa with a fixed deposit Ceriticate? I have the lump sum fixed in my account for over a year now. Do I need to attach a statement of account or should I just submit my application with the fixed deposit certificate and a cover letter showing the genuinity of the fund?

Godson311: Dear readers / posters,

Firstly i will like to thank justwise, vicjustice and other contributors on this tread for your support and assistance in helping people actualise their dreams of making credible trips/travel abroad.

My question: I submitted application for uk spouse visa and it's 9th week but still no feedback from them. The vfs tracking system displays no detailed stage of the application other than "Your application has been forwarded to BHC"

Any advice will go a great deal in helping cooling off the anxiety........... Thanks for you anticipated support

chiamo: @ Vicjustive Thank you for your response.
I am 53 years old.
My aim and objectives is to better my life and my family, and live in an environment that makes life condusive to live and survive in.
With my earlier written experiences, I hope I am eligible for job and can be able to be entrenched in the new country system easily.
Please respond !!

chiamo: I am a matured man, married with kids among who are grown-ups. I am self-employed with experiences in various fields’ .i.e business consulting, computer data entry, computer operating, freelance broadcaster etc. I have been opportune to travel some years ago to various countries like Germany, Portugal, Malta, Belgium, Hong Kong etc.
Recently I have tried to source for fund on couple of occasions to inject into projects that I know are commercially viable through finance houses and individuals but the result has been negative, with the resultant effect been financial challenge on my part. After seeing that I and my family are not finding it easy to survive in the prevailing financial challenge we are in, I then resolute to travel abroad for greener pasture.
I share my financial challenge conditions with some of my friends and my resolution to travel out of the Nigeria to either New Zealand or Canada for greener pasture. Some laughed at me saying that I am too advanced in age to venture into that type of mission, some asked me what I will be doing therein, while some said that it will cost me some years setback before I could be able to find my feet in the new country.
I have the ability to secure an invitation letter from any of the two countries I am opting for (New Zealand or Canada), with other relevant documents to be demanded by their Consular but don’t have the supportive bank statement of account to support the application.
In this vain:
A) I want reality, precise and mature advice on:
1. Is this my resolution to seek for greener pasture appropriate?
2. Is it true that at my advanced age I should not travelled out for greener pasture?
3. Will it cost me more years setback in either of the preferred country before I could find my feet?
4. Is there any venture or work or job easily available to be done in either of the preferred countries?
B) I need an interested party who would like to travel to either of the two countries and can provide genuine bank statement of account to support entry visa application.
Your responses will be deeply appreciated.

naiko: thank you @ justwise and vicjustice, i sincerely grateful to you guys for your availability, prompt answers and infos. i can confirm today that i got my two years visa to the u.k.many thanks,i also want to extend my appreciations to ppl like ayobj,voskini,babybird82 and the rest guys,may God continue to strenghten you as you assist others with your knowledge, keep up the good job!

weezyana07: @vicjustice so what do I do- dose it mean I dnt stand a chance? Advice pls on what to do,so I dnt end up waste my moni. Or can my sisters husband stand in for me?

weezyana07: @vicjustice @justwise and all, am new on this tread so pls pardon me if I ask questions that has been answered already,I've tried to go tru the tread seem not to see something related to mine.
I got admission Msc program @RGU to resume this sept,as am making preperation for my application. Will pay part of my fees as stated in my offer letter nxt month for CAS to b issued. The question now is the visa process. I don't have a bank acount that can cover my bank statement,my Guidance(not uncle) is sponsoring my sch. Will the embassy acept such bank statement from a sponsor? Advise pls and how to go abt the whole process tnx

miri8d: haha no no, I wouldn't go looking down some back ally for help in that sense.
Thankfully my husband has a job, just my mind is telling me the money saved and has in the current account won't be enough,hence why I thought it might be best for my parent as they both have a steady income and good savings. We will be staying at my parents house, so if he were to apply as himself as sole sponsor wouldn't he still need some type of sponsor letter from my parents for us to stay at their house?
Sorry, to go on, just making sure I have everything out on the table before I make any choices
