Hi, im a British citizen resident in China. Basically I want to take my chinese partner with me when I visit the UK for a month or two this summer. She is a student here with a year to go on her degree so Ill be covering most of the costs (credit card, plus family at home). Says on the website if I am to sponsor her I should provide bank statements going back 6 months, global downturns and kind of exessive spending makes them look a bit crap. The cost of two flights and chilling out in my parents holiday home in Cornwall is not exactly huge though so would it be better to simply deposit a couple of thousand pounds into her bank account from a credit card and provide those statements? Should also be able to provide documents from her university, the company who will be taking her on after graduation as well my own companies registration documents showing I work as an exporter based in China and do not any plans to return to the UK.

I don't think it would be an advantage if the statements showed a recent deposit of funds; that in itself might look suspicious.

hmmm, do we HAVE to show bank statements? The cost of flights would be somewhere around Â£800 or less, as ive got a lot of airmiles stacked up and living off family hospitality would require very little spending money. Another option is that I could take cash which is currently tied up in my company account and place it into my personal account, then apply for the visa in June just prior to the visit and show the June, May and April bank statements???? No sign of a big deposit but a healthy balance? Would 3 months be enough time?

I know it's a trite answer but if it says on the website you should provide 6 months worth I would recommend doing that rather than risk an automatic refusal.

Why not get ur parents to sponsor her?

Can my parents sponsor her? Im sure they would be willing to and they certainly have the means. My parents have visited China and met her before but dont you have to prove a relationship with the person?

There's no reason why your parents can't act as sponsors.
