Hello everyone,

I will appreciate your response to my questions, I applied for UK visa in 2018[ me and child] spouse was not included but used his funds which was in my account for the application but it was not stated in my application, therefore I was denied because according to the visa officer that my salary should not have gotten me the savings because I had only worked for less than 2yrs in the ministry. I was a state civil servant then. Presently we are PR holder in Canada and I want to apply for UK visa for myself and child, spouse will not be included due to work schedule, I have savings for the trip.
my questions is as follows

Do I include spouse even if he is not coming

Do I say it is spouse that is sponsoring the trip even when the money is in my account

Do I say I have a friend/family there when I denied that I do not know any one in UK in my previous application.

Do I ask my friend to send me an invite putting in my mind I said I don't have a friend/family in UK

How much do I need to have in the account to apply for the visa?
