Mom to be my sponsor?

[Bally123 0]

Hey,

I'm applying for uni, and they want my sponsor (mother/father) to have at least $30,000 in bank.

My father has a great job, but doesn't have a lot of money in bank , it goes up and down, one day he may have a lot, one day little, due to the investments he makes.

However, my mother does not work, but can have $50k+ easily , I can send her from my bank of what I have saved up.

Would it be ok for the visa, if my mom sponsors me even though she does not work? or MUST it be my dad who DOES Work?

Thanks

How is someone with no job going to help you meet the financial requirements for a student visa?

Transferring money from you to her would be a mistake because you would fraudulently represent your money as hers. This is a well known trick, using borrowed money to meet the financial requirement when the sponsor doesn't meet the requirement at all.

You are better off using your dad as the sponsor.

Are they still married? You can probably represent it as household savings, or she can add his name to the account.

Yeah dad probably.

Would my dad have to get a paper from his company that he works for, saying he earns X per month, or will they check on the bank statement that he receives that much each 3 years.

Thanks
