Very very soon my brother , the way Nigerians are desperate to travel abroad , I see this happening by 2020 or earlier .

Please I saw someone write something about biometrics...please in the process of all these visa paroles and final travel...is BVN comparison or verification goin to be involved in anyway..cos his data has one small error which happened at point of registration ..but since it ddnt stop his account from working after linking..he has been using it like that ever since..is there need to go and correct all the detail with the passport details

The school is only following the visa rules as per him having the money in his account or his parents. This is to forestall funding issues in the course of the program to be undertaken. Other family members cannot sponsor an applicant.
No where in the Ts and Cs you posted require the payment for accommodation except there's a part of your post that I missed. The UK govt has no fixed cost of accommodation required for T4 visas but you must have a certain amount that can cover monthly living costs for a maximum of 9 months (£1,015 monthly for schools outside London).
The only thing I know that keeps schools from releasing CAS is when no tuition payment has been made but seeing as you have no pending tuition payment I'd say you contact the school to know why they have that condition on the offer.

I'd suggest that you read previous postings on this thread or download the T4 guide on the UKVI website and read through for extensive information.

Biometrics registration is the registration of your unique characteristics i.e. Finger prints, your facial image, retina scans, Palm print e.t.c
For visa purposes, finger prints and digital images of one's face which are captured during the application submission process are the 'biometrics' being talked about.

There is no condition regarding accommodation there and you need to contact the school directly to get the CAS updated.

Your brother still needs to have maintenance money in his account for the period of 28days

why d lol, well it was standard and it was on the 7th of august

Including weekends

These people are being unfair sha.
Would they be kind enough to refund our money?. Since service won't be provided. Coz 184GBp no be chicken change

@justwise

So I get that you will need the maintenance once you travel...

But Haba! Not everyone is able to cough out almost 16-20k pounds- (sometimes more) at a go and keep for that long (tuition and maintenance)

Doesnt mean we do not deserve good quality education too?

Lets be more empathic here. How many people are able to afford their living expenses for a year from the first month? Deff not everyone. So its indeed quite difficult for some people, particularly self funding students.

Thanks for the feedback @mimilyrics @sleyflash @justwise

Why are you considering the UK to study if money is an issue? There are other cheaper countries you can get quality education if the UK is out of reach without breaking the law.

I can't think of any

You're welcome.
I know what you mean and I'm sure @JustWise knows it's not easy to cough out that much but it's not his job to be emphatic because he has to give you the info the way it is. It won't be okay for him to pad it with sweet words.
The ECOs won't be emphatic at all and it's better to hear it here than from the ECO in another form. The ECOs or the British govt don't care where the money comes from or what stress you went through to get it but it has to be there. To them, it's either it's in the account and available for you to use or It's not. It's their country and their rules, not @Justwise's.

1. You don't need the passport photograph. Your picture will be taken when you register your biometrics.
4. Take only if it's stated on your CAS.
7. Introduction letter from who?
8. You don't need to submit a printout of your CAS but you'll be needing Your CAS number/info for your interview form.
11. Appointment letter not to be submitted, needed only for entry into the centre so keep it handy for entry.

You can print out the rate for the day and include but the ECOs usually check Oanda for the rate when assessing applications incase of errors in what an applicant quoted

Very very soon my brother , the way Nigerians are desperate to travel abroad , I see this happening by 2020 or earlier .

Coming to the UK without enough money is suicidal though many don't want to hear this but I will keep saying it.

You can't enjoy the UK student experience if you are so worried about money to pay rent and bills

i swear my brother, i learnt that the hard way, if you fortunate to get a part time job you would find out that most of your wages end up as rent or bills with very little left to travel, meet new people and create memories, if any one truly want to go to that country and live a sane life just come with enough money for at least 8 months rent and bills or else when you finally arrive murtala mohammed after your visa expires , your people will not recognize you because you go don turn skeleton because of suffer.

@justwis,@mimilyrics and to all the guys here pls I'd like to know what u think about using a loan letter from the bank as evidence of funds for Tier4 student maintenance where all tuition fee has been payed already if it's acceptable or not ?cos the bnk said they need to see proof of visa before the loan can be released, further more if it's possible will the loan letter alone suffice or it needs to be attached with some other documents e.g affirmative letter from a local govt etc.

If you're using a loan letter, expect that you might be asked questions on why you took out the loan and how you intend to pay it back during your interview or the ECO might call you to ask before a decision is made if your repayment explanation isn't clear. Also remember that the letter must capture your essential details such as your name, the date of the letter, the amount being released to you, the financial institution's name and logo etc
Normally, educational loans will be fully disbursed to you after the receipt of your visa before you leave Nigeria (or upon your arrival in the uk) or your tuition is paid directly to your Tier 4 Sponsor with the living costs released to you on or before your arrival to the UK.
See attachment for info.

HOW CONVENIENT FOR YOU TO TRY TO JUSTIFY ILLEGALITY AND EVEN TRYING TO HOODWINK FOLKS HERE BY SAYING THE RULES WERE WRITTEN IN THE PAST TENSE FORMAT.

YOU DECIDED TO IGNORE THE PART OF THE RULE WHICH SAYS THE MAINTENANCE MONEY MUST BE AVAILABLE FOR YOUR USE WHILE IN THE UK.

Please, my brother/sister: Stop propagating illegality and misinformation here.

Thank you.

Calm down bro, there's nothing for him/her to gain from misleading people. They are talking from their own personal experience which I think is valid. There are always different perspectives to things.

We await your positive update today o. congratulations in advance.

Online 4th July
Biometrics + interview 6th july
Received by UKVI 7th july
Sheffield mail+ECO 17th July
Decision mail from tlscontact 18th August

That is the story so far.

[/b]If I were you, I wouldn't do that. I would use an existing account. It's suspicious to just have new account, no previous transactions, no latter transactions. Just 1 huge deposit of over 4,000,000 naira. Then a statement. I hope you realise that the bank statement you will then submit will simply be 1 page and 1 line?[b]

I'm sorry I disagree with the above, I did same,(new acct wt bulk cash deposit) for my last appication and was approved with no delay. As Justwise reponded likewise..... follow suit.
