In regards to your account, explain how you acquired the money and how it has been deposited. Always remember, honesty is the best policy.

Thank you so much Sir Trefor and MS Rose for all the help and advice that you are giving me in these situation I am facing now I am always looking forward for someone to reply in these dilema i have.

Yes sir as I saved my salary on hand as I just planned to deposit it when I go vacation these FEb since western union cost me a big charge. Only on Nov, Dec and these Jan i deposit money. I realize I shouldnt deposit those sum money in just one transactions. I made mistake thinking showing money will help me to prove I can accommodate myself for two weeks but thru research I found out the discrepancy will be a problem and questionable.

I dont want to lie sir. I will explain that the 1000 usd i deposited on Nov is from my 2months salary from Aug and September.
The 800 usd is from the 1000 usd I sent also but was missing of 200 since i give money to my family for Christmas to spend.
I am planning to back up these with my Western Union receipt and payslips plus the deposit slips my sister made in the Philippines.

You need to explain clearly why she has no Egyptian bank statements.

Can I just mention that due to instability of country I dont want to risk my small hard earned money and decided just to send it thru Western union and let my mom deposit it in my behalf for security?

Iyah needs to provide good documents to convince the ECO that she will leave the UK.

The only reason I have is a job here in Cairo i got another contract for 2yrs and raised on my salary and new position at work
I am entitled for an annual vacay that gave me an entitlement ticket to visit my family once a year. Plus my family had already made plans to be in Boracay

We think it is clear that the ECO will still view her application with interest since her sponsor is her British boyfriend. What are their long-term plans?

We really dont have any long term plans yet as we are focused in our career. My bf is working as a trader in a large bank in London. I assume he is qualified to sponsor me.

I am just 24 years old. Will my age be a hindrance?

This situation is making me stress Sometimes I cried at night thinking of these problems and the hardship just to see my bf even just for 2 weeks.

I dont want to lose hope but I am running out of time and the worst part is my bf is running out of patience as well which i understand

Please kindly advise me mam sir what can I do? Im sorry for all the hassle and lengthy of msg. I am just trying to rationalize things. My heartfelt thanks for everyone who has been helping me.

Salamat po.
