thats incredible if true . well congrats! Is it uk or canada?

Your Overdraft account gave you the credibility because it is believed that for you to be able to get an overdraft from a bank in nigeria worth that amount . You must be well equally to the task.

Also paying school fees in fulls 13k pounds is not a joke, Congrats broda,


Do Nigeria Proud when you get there ,

I pray in fews days i will tell my own story . AMEN

Onlineise:

After much story i decided to apply two weeks ago. exactly 3 months to my resumption date. i had a few things against me (that was what d devil was whispering to m hart)

1. No NYSC approval letter.

2. Sponsor's a/c savings bal. of just 200k

3. Another Over Draft a/c drawn into debit of -2m

However i paid my fees in full E13,000. I was called xtaday to come and pick it up.

Ehanks to the advice of nairalanders when i first posted my complains in respect to the NYSC letter. Funkybaby and the likes were there to support me. OMO you guys are SSSSOOOOLLLLIIIDDDDDDDDD.

Yeah, i remember the issue of the nysc certificate.

Your case is a testimony !

Congratulations !

Abeg Nairalanders what do you guys have to say about this condition.

Congratulations first of all.But you hard ooooo,well that clause is to remind you that you are first and first a student even though you allowed to work twenty hrs per week during school term but full time during school break eg Like this summer now you can work full time till September if you choose to come into the UK now.So changes have to be authorised here for you to work full time which will come up after your programme now that there is the Post Study Tier 1 thing is on now!

You need to be sure of what our visa allows you to do and what it doesn't.

'NO RECOURSE TO PUBLIC FUNDS' means you can't claim benefits. You might be able to claim those that are dependent on National Insurance Contributions.

I suggest you email them to explain 'WORK (and other changes) MUST BE AUTHORISED' to be on the safe side because of new rules below:

[b]Statement of Changes in Immigration Rules HC 321 was laid before Parliament on 6 February 2008. HC 321 amends the general grounds for refusal of an immigration application.

In some cases rule-breaking migrants could be banned from applying for entry to the UK for 10 years. The results will be:

Mandatory refusal of an application where false representations have made or false documents used, whether or not material to the application and whether or not the applicant knew of the falsehood.
Re-entry bans for those who have overstayed, breached their conditions of leave (e.g. a student working over 20 hrs a week in term time).
Those who leave within 28 days at their own expense will escape the ban.

Over stayers making a voluntary departure at their own expense face a 1 year ban, during which any application for entry clearance will be refused, rising to 5 years if the departure was at the expense of the State and 10 years if the person was removed or deported, or used deception.

In summary, the changes to the general grounds for refusal are:


From 29 February 2008 refusal of entry clearance or leave to enter, cancellation of leave or refusal to vary leave will be mandatory where false representations have been made or false documents submitted, whether or not these are material to the application and whether or not the applicant knew that such representations were being made or documents submitted.
From 1 April 2008 for those who have previously overstayed, breached their conditions of stay, entered illegally or used deception, refusal of a fresh entry clearance or leave to enter application will be mandatory for fixed periods – except those who have done no more than overstay for 28 days or less. The fixed periods are 12 months from when the person made a voluntary departure at their own expense, 5 years from when the person made a voluntary departure that was paid for and 10 years from when the person was removed or deported. In the case of a person who used deception in an entry clearance application, the fixed period will be for 10 years from the time of that deception.

Once these changes come into force, any application for permission to enter or remain in the UK must be refused if any of the above rules have been breached. [/b]

Congrats! Please do Nigeria proud!
