The Decision
you have applied for entry clearance for 10 days to visit your uncle and for tourism. In support of your application, you have submitted a letter from him inviting you, a copy of his British passport and evidence of his employment and income.
you have submitted a letter from your father, #####, and he states that he will be supporting you during your stay. In support of your father's circumstances you have submitted a Bank statement in his name. However, I am not satisfied that these documents alone demonstrate your father's personal circumstances in Ghana. I am unable to determine from the documents where the Funds in his bank account originate from. As a result, I am not satisfied that the funds in this account are under his exclusive control for the purpose of your visit, nor am I satisfied that this provides an accurate reflection of his financial circumstances. I am therefore not satisfied that your father can find your visit as claimed.
the onus is upon you to qualify for entry clearance in your own right and I have to be satisfied as to your own circumstances . You have stated you are a student and you receive money from savings and investments and friends and family. You have submitted a bank statement in your name with your application and I note it contains some large deposits. From the documents submitted I am unable to determine the origin of these funds and as a result, I am not satisfied that your circumstances are as claimed.
in light of this I cannot be satisfied that your personal circumstances are as indicated in your application or that you have adequate funds available to you for the purpose of your visit. I am therefore not satisfied that you are a genuine visitor to the United Kingdom or that you intend to leave at the end of your proposed visit. Nor am I satisfied that you can be adequately maintained from funds of your own of from a third party or that you can meet the cost of your return or onward journey. 41(i)(ii)(vi)(vii)
I have therefore refused your application because I am not satisfied, on the balance of probabilities, that you meet all of the requirements of the relevant paragraph of the United Kingdom immigration rules.
