Hi all... feel like ranting but I am controlling myself... ooooh bugger let's rant!
When I was in Phils my Filipina girlfriend and I applied for a General Visitors Visa 3 - 6 Months for her to come stay with me in the UK.
As I am sponsoring her I supplied 6 Months wage slips, 6 months in credit bank statements, mortgage statement showing I am a house owner, a scanned copy of my passport and a sponsor letter from myself inviting her to stay with me.
Today she got the documents back with VISA UNCLASSIFIED and the refusal was that she has no bank account.
Off course she has no bank acc thats why I am sponsoring her!!!! For God's sake what is wrong with these people? Probably all degree educated without an ounce of common sense.
Grrrrrrrrr
After reading SimonH's post on a visa for his niece I am put off applying again.
Rant over
It clearly states that the applicant should provide bank statements for the last 6months
https://www.gov.uk/general-visit-vis...u-must-provide
a current passport or other valid travel identification
2 passport size colour photographs
evidence that you can support yourself during your trip, eg bank statements or payslips for the last 6 months
details of where you intend to stay and your travel plans - you shouldn’t pay for accommodation or travel until you get your visa.
..Even the guidelines for supporting documents requires (bank statements /bank book ; bank letter or balance certificate)

please note:
The applicant needs to convince the ECO that she got finances and income and be able to support herself on her visit here in UK and she has compelling reason to return in PH ie long term job;propoerty or / and business.
