 Financial document/source of income and proof of relationship:

If you sponsor is a working class then the following::

*Employment letter of sponsor, 6 months Pay-slip, work Id and Introductory letter if possible.6 months bank statement of the sponsor with adequate funds and a reference letter attached to it by the bank (bank letter head, signed and stamped).

*Any asset of the sponsor e.g Land documents but in some cases if not available, don't worry Sponsors may be self/father/mother/brother/sister/uncle/cousin/inlaw/wife/husband. The idea of family friend I can't guarantee anyone.

If you sponsor is a business man/woman/person/self-sponsor entrepreneur then the following:

*6 months bank statement of a sponsor with adequate funds and a reference letter attached to it by the bank  (on bank letter head, signed and stamped).

*CAC documents/certificate of registration, tax clearance certificate(s),
if the already mentioned is not available, invoices, transaction receipts and 
rent receipts can play here to prove sources of income.

*Land documents if available.

Proof of relationship are: elect as apply to the sponsor you intend using.

-Marriage certificate
-Birth certificate/affidavit of age


 N.B:  The 2 listed above are the substantial and convincing proves. For example if my sister is married and her husband is sponsoring me. To prove relationship, my birth cert. and my sister's birth cert. come to play.

since the in-law is my sponsor, to prove that, my sister's hubby has to get (their/his) marriage certificate and 
 his birth cert./affidavit of age. 

So the key factor in proving any relationship is marriage cert. and birth cert/affidavit of age. Anyone if applicable I didn't mention is entertained.

In addition, detail sponsorship letter written by the sponsor or by your aid, then signed by the sponsor and affidavit of sponsorship which would be taken to and signed in a High court./attachted.
