This is the wrong thread. Go to the UK Student visa thread. This thread is for UK Visit Visa

annichere:
Hi guys,

I want to apply for a UK visa and this is my first time. I have travelled to other African countries and recently Qatar/Lebanon. I own a ed fashion business but I want to apply for POF to use as evidence for my application as my personal funds might not be enough (not sure how much I need)
My question is should I fund my personal or business , also how much should I put in my on a monthly basis or should I collect a lump sum? How much can I use as POF for a 7 days visit?
Should I use a conference or seminar as my reason for visiting instead of just stating tourism?
Its my first time and I would prefer not to use an agent.
I will also very much appreciate it if someone can put me through the steps.
Thank you

Nothing is guaranteed until you get your port back, open it and find a visa/entry clearance vignette. It might be a positive outcome if you have not received any refusal letter yet.

When did you go to TLS for your biometrics?

Decision Making Centres
Once you have submitted your application at your nearest VAC, it will be assessed by Home Office caseworkers at a decision making centre. Years ago, UK visa applications filed overseas would be considered at a local British Embassy. However, the decision making process has since been moved away from the Embassies to various large-scale hubs around the world such as Istanbul and Beijing. In a bid to centralise the process, much of the decision making for UK visa applications now takes place in the UK, in offices based in Croydon, Sheffield and Liverpool.

The decision making centre in which your application will be reviewed depends on which type of visa you are applying for and which VAC you attended. For example, if you are applying for a visit visa from one of Australia’s seven application points, your application will be reviewed at a decision making centre in Beijing. But those customers filing a visit visa application from the Americas region will have their application decided by caseworkers in Croydon. Most applications for work or study visas submitted overseas will be decided at UKVI’s decision making hub in Sheffield
