UK Visa Refusal: Provenance of funds/parking
I have applied recently for a general visitor visa to the UK to spend 10 days during Christmas with my British unmarried partner and it has been turned down.
The Entry Clearance Officer stated on his refusal notice the following:
I note that you have never previously travelled to the UK or any country with similar immigration requirements and you therefore do not have a history of travel and compliance to consider.
You have submitted an employment letter to confirm your occupation in KSA but I am required to also assess your personal, domestic and economic circumstances in determining whether you are genuine visitor travelling to the UK for the period and purpose you state.
You claim an income of SAR ........ per month which equal ........ GBP and from the evidence submitted this appears to be your sole source of income. I note that this monthly income is reflected on your bank statements. However, the bank statement you have presented show a recent large deposit that are in excess of your stated income and inconsistent with the account history. You haven't provided evidence toward the origin of this recent deposit and in the absence of reasonable evidence I am not satisfied that these bank statements accurately reflect your personal circumstances.
In view of the above, I am not satisfied you have demonstrated that your circumstances are as you claim and therefore I am not satisfied that you're travelling to the UK for the period and purpose you stated. 41(i)and(ii).
Its true that I have deposited that sum of money right before I apply and it was a commission I received from work earlier this month.
So, could you please give me your advice on the above as I am planning to apply again soon. and how to avoid my application being refused again?
