How I invited my parents on STUDENT VISA to the UK | Costs and Timeline | DOCUMENTS required

I invited my parents over for my graduation and I thought of putting the process together to help as many people as I can because I couldn't get much help on TH-cam while I was in the process.
NB: I AM NOT AN IMMIGRATION EXPERT!!! I am just sharing my personal experience and the processes I took to get them a sucessful visa application so, do well to do your dilligent research as well.

Great video. Welldone.

[@ifeoluwaishola]

Thank you very much!

[@nwanesiuchechi9112]

Thanks for the video...did you make individual application for both parents or its just one application you made?

[@jeffersonejeh8816]

Thank you!

[@opemipoelizabeth7901]

Thank you this will be helpful but you didn’t talk about the visa fee or her they not going to pay visa fee?

[@habibahadams1893]

Thanks. Please were the any interviewing your parents before they got the visa

[@anietieudo5993]

What if you are the one supporting them financially for the visa,how much should have in your account in the UK?

[@veeksvlog]

Thanks for this video Ife. How do you calculate the amount to be in one’s parent account based on the number of months they want to use?

[@ifeoluwaishola]

Basically, the standard visitor visa is valid for 6 months so even if you say they are going to use 1 week, they will still get 6 months. I would just say 2 million each should be fine but you can add more too.

@@ifeoluwaisholais there a specific time the money has to be there for like the whole six months or 28 days before you can apply

[@veeksvlog]

And again, how many months bank statement do we need to present if the parent will be responsible for their visa? Thank you

[@ifeoluwaishola]

We presented 6 months bank statement to show that they receive salaries.

[@chimae4228]

You talked about parents getting letter from employer. What if your parents are self-employed ?

[@ifeoluwaishola]

Then their business registration letter will suffice with pictures

My student visa is expiring in Nov and I want my mum to come visit in July. Can I put in her application

[@emmanuelebenezer7393]

Yes you can

[@uwajimgbaaustin9645]

Did you succeed in bringing her?
I want to invite my sister for visit aswell as a student and she is not coming for my graduation actually.

[@adedolapoatta-okpeh6356]

@@uwajimgbaaustin9645 yes I did. I was on student visa but had application in to switch to a work visa.

[@hyv4787]

Please is pay slip same as statement of account

[@ifeoluwaishola]

No. Payslip is often gotten from your employer (if you are in the UK) detailing how many hours you worked and how much you are getting paid.

Hi Ife, I sent a direct message on IG. I need some clarification concerning the income and expenditure aspect of this application for my parent’s please. I am currently working on their visa application.
