Too mean?

oooooohhhh arn't you a bunch of sensible people

BL , all i see is that he really wants to come to the uk, 1 obstacle had got in his way and he's trying to sort it asap, By giving you the desposit upfront and not asking for anything in return, except for keeping the room on hold a little longer i personally don't think its anything dodgy and you are doind the right things

Only thing i would like to ask you is how do you put up with having strangers in your home, I'd be so scared, saying that im a big fat scaredy cat anyway :rotfl:

Oh, I don't think it's necessary for me to give him advice about his visa app - particularly based on some web forum (no offence!).

His exact email was:

here I have a little probleme with the uk embassy here in mauritius,I've just have my answer of visa application for working in uk while in holidays ,they refused me the visa and give a some document why they refused it, it was about my bank statement for the last 6months,there were a great cash deposit on itsome months ago,I've just made an appeal for re examining my visa application and I give some reasons and eVidence to suport where are the origins of the money come from ,its a gift from my mother ,my mother has given Me her bank statement to prouve that the transfer of money was make on the same day just some minute interval to mine ,I suported all my points ,because they refused my visa for just one reason although I've the requirements of funds and other !they told me that I will reveice the answer of my appeal after one month,please Reserve the room for me,I will pay for for the Cost of the month even I'm still not coming.once coming or if you want a sum on money now so as to continue to reserve the room.note I'm very interesting with it ,I'm sure that the probleme will soon be resolved

So it sounds like he knows a lot more about the process than I do!

Awww! Well, the other two blokes are just fantastic! It's great having someone to take you out on a Friday night

To be honest, I barely see them - we're in a large, 3-storey house and I've put individual key locks on all the bedroom doors so we can each lock our personal goods away (I've got copies of them all, but would never abuse my position).

Each room is big enough for a sofa etc too, in fact I just sleep on a sofa bed, so I've got my own living room if I want privacy.

The 2 guys I've got so far never seem to spend more than 2 nights a week here - they're always working away - so it's actually just like living on my own most of the time!

I do have faith in human beings (without being completely daft), and I also know my rights as landlord to kick anyone out that was causing problems. It doesn't scare me at all There is a fair amount of instinct too - one of the guys who asked for a room just seemed "weird" - after I turned him down, he sent me some very strange text messages (something about strap-ons??) but I ignored them and they went away :rotfl:!

From what he said and based on my experience its unlikely he'll get his visa.

As well as to demonstrate a minimum level of funds the consulates ask for bank statements to show that the applicant is financially stable, and receiving a regular income. Large sums of money deposited by the family just before the application, almost certainly to be transferred back again afterwards, are a red flag to visa officials.

I've lived away from home but moved back in with my parents for when my DS was born, I have now had a week of nearly no sleep beacuse my parents are in Egypt and im a scaredy cat on my own in this big house.

About the "weird" guy :rotfl: Gut instinct is allways right in my eyes, arn't you lucky yours was right :eek: the dirty beggar :rotfl: :rotfl:

Agree with ruggedtoast. Especially as he is applying for a visa to let him work during holidays - consulates will be very wary of a big deposit from a family member. Would have been much better for her to guarantee him instead

Its possible his visa application has been rejected and hes appealing the decision. Few appeals result in a change of heart by the consulate.

They do if you're rich and live in many third world countries.
