The patterns we see most

  • Unexplained deposits. A large credit landing in the account shortly before applying, with no explanation of where it came from.
  • Weak sponsor evidence. An invitation letter with no payslips, no bank statements and no proof of the sponsor's accommodation behind it.
  • Circumstances that do not support return. No employment, no property, no dependants, and no travel history. This is judged as a whole, not line by line.
  • Contradictions between the form and the documents. Stated income that does not match the salary slips, or dates that do not match the itinerary.
