General Visa Funding?

[dsixteen]

Hi,

I and my sister are planning to visit our brother who is a pg student in the UK. We are also student, therefore our father will support us financially. He has enough funds but its in his savings account. A friend of mine told me that savings account may result in a refuse. Does my father have to transfer his savings to current account before application?

My other concern is that we are planning to stay with my brother. He lives in a 2 bedroom flat along with his wife and 5 year old daughter. He sent an invitation letter to us with proof of address (bank statement). But there is no tenancy agreement or letter from landlord. Is that a problem for my application.

Regards.

My mother once had her visa application refused due to this. We showed all money in Saving and now current account. In the refusal letter UK immigration officer clearly mentioned that you cannot withdraw money from Savings immediately so it was not ready in hand available cash. So next application we showed enough money in Current account, which can be used (if required) immediately.

You must show tenancy agreement which clearly describes how many rooms are there. Also there is no harm in giving council tax as another proof also.
