Visit Visa to UK - advice please

[Steve.r]

Agencies can do no more that you can do yourself so why pay someone? For the visit visa the person must be able to prove that he will return to the Philippines, this is the most important area to cover. You of course can supply a sponsor letter and detail which will help, but the weight of documentation will be proving that your friend has reason to go home again before the visa expires.

How can he prove that though? He has his elderly father there, and other family who rely on him - is that enough? And how does it prove it?

Hi Liza.

To prove that he has the intention to return to the Philippines, your friend needs to provide evidence which include but shall not be limited to the following documents:
1. Employment Certificate
2. 6 months pay slip
3. 6 months bank statement
4. Records of savings
5. Records of Assets (i.e. house, lot, business, etc)
OTHERS
6. School records (if student)
7. Marriage certificate (if married)

Hope this helps.

He is self-employed so he can't do the employment certificate or the pay slips. He can show bank statements. He has no assets, is not a student and is not married. Doesn't look good, does it?

If he is self-employed, can't he show documents and papers of his company or work and what he does? If you haven't met yet, I'm not really sure if sponsoring him will satisfy the ECO that he's going back to the Philippines. It's really hard to convince the ECO when it comes to ties to the Philippines.

He can show proof of work, yes. It's the part about reasons to go back that I'm most worried about now I guess.
