Here's some ideas for your to consider if you wish to be the major sponsor.

As a sponsor (family or friend), you'll need to convince the ECO:-

- You're legally present in the UK
- You're both intending and able to provide support for the duration of the visitor’s stay.
- You have a genuine relationship with the applicant (briefly outline how and where you met, how communications are maintained and how often)
- Any previous history of sponsoring visitors.
- In terms of provision of accommodation for the visitor, outline that there is enough room for them
- That in provision of financial support for the visitor, that there is enough funds available to adequately support them.
- To help the ECO in assessing this you'll need to take account of your regular outgoings and demonstrate there are enough surplus funds.
