Hey guys. I am in this odd situation and was wondering if anyone has had a similar situation?

So today I submitted my application for a tier 4 UK student visa. I met all of the requirements for the visa e.g. I have an unconditional offer from the University of Edinburgh, I have my CAS number, student accommodation, more than enough financial resources to cover my entire length of the program etc. However there is only one small problem with my application, that is, I only have one empty page in the visa section of my passport and they ask for at least two consecutive empty pages. The problem here is that I will not be able to renew my passport and they made kind of a big deal at out this at the agency where I had to submit my visa application.

I was wondering if anyone has ever been refused a visa just because they did not have enough empty pages in their passport?

My passport is valid until 2020 and my program is only for a year. so the validity of the passport is not an issue whatsoever. It's just the damn page.

Why didn't you renew cos one of the condition for renewal is exhaustion of your passport pages which is in your own case with you the best as we learn everyday

The guidelines says you should only submit required docs. But apparently the wedding cert wasn't enough to convince the eco.

So when applying put as much supporting Doc's as possible.

Hi my school is under the pilot scheme as well but i submitted financial docs, degree certificate and i was also interviewed.

Renee25:
Hello everyone...Please has anyone applied for a tier 4 visa under any of the new schools qualifying for the pilot scheme? If so, did you need to submit or show evidence of financial capability. My school, University of Sheffield qualifies, and they instructed that 'I may not submit financial evidence'. Please someon should let me know if I can go ahead for the interview without submitting this.

Secondly, I've been denied a visa to the US once but I was eventually granted the visa. In the part that asks of denial of any visa should my answer be 'Yes'. And if it is, what will be my reason for denial? US embassy didnt give me any reason at the time. Please kindly help me with these questions. Thanks

I see, this is an eye opener for me. Thanks
If I may ask will a church wedding pix be honoured
Secondly, in my wedding cert (Marriage registry) I noticed there is a little alteration while writing one of the witness name and also on the date, could that be an issue?

If your scholarship covers your family, then the letter will suffice. I hope the letter expressly addresses how much of the scholarship is budgeted per dependent per year.

Only international company or international organization or home govt or university or UK related body are stated as official financial sponsors. But indigenous companies are not stated that is your I'm confusion this.

Yes but only if that private company has branches plus registered and active business operations in 2 or more countries.
If they do, their sponsorship letter must clearly show at least 2 of their verifiable business addresses in 2 countries.
This shows that they aren't a local business and that they can move or have experience in moving money across countries.
It will also be helpful to have their contact details (Tel, email and website) clearly indicated on the letter.

It came in too late to be used. Buried myself in work thereafter. Thanks for checking �

justwise:


I hope you got your visa and already in the UK? We haven't seen you here for sometimes now.

Re: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered Part 3 by mimilyrics: 1:44pm On Jul 25, 2018
Thank you KingDemolah.

The ECO assumed that my sponsor wasn't a multinational and didn't run a check to confirm.
For my 1st AR, I explained the ECO error citing the T4 guidelines and included proof of the organization's operating addresses, Google search results of the company news articles detailing the organization's entrant to Nigeria, the area where the address was on my sponsorship letter. This led ECO to contact and run an independent check on the organization.
The ECO then confirmed that indeed, my sponsor wasn't a local business and then revised the refusal due to another error.

For my second AR, the ECO said that my sponsor didn't State how much they were giving me even though my sponsor clearly stated that they'd pay my outstanding course fees and maintenance cost during my course.
For this, I referred to the part of my letter where this was written (I included a highlighted screenshot of the letter) and the T4 guidelines that stated that a sponsor can either State how much they're giving or write great they'll be responsible for all my tuition and maintenance costs. I cited the page where this was written in the T4 guidelines and also included a screenshot of the page.
Each AR took roughly 2 weeks.

KingDemolah:


Hi, congrats. pls can you tell about their reason for the 1st & 2nd refusal in 2017 and how you countered their reasons for the decision to be upturned? Thanks.

Please house! I’m about to submit my application but I’m yet to secure an accommodation yet. Hope it doesn’t affect my application? I need a response from someone.

Thanks!
Re: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered Part 3 by mimilyrics: 2:42pm On Jul 25, 2018
It won't. Just use your school address as it appears on your CAS and have adequate information on your accommodation plans (What type of accommodation you'd be getting, cost PCM and whether it'll be inclusive of bills or not, an idea of your accommodation location (s) and how you'll get to school from there (cost of transportation and distance from school).
The above will show that you have made your findings and that you're well informed about your accommodation plans/options.

Exactly. That is what it means. Print the statement when it is closer to the date of your interview. Not more than 31 days.

I don't know why you guys are just giving yourself unnecessary high Bp.

Thinkin, complaining, anxiety will not change anything. Rather you guys should be +ve and prayerful. Infact, you guys should be thanking God this is happening now. There is still some time before September to make any amendments where possible.

I still insist the rates will drop to around £1 = 350 naira (black market rate). Just calm down and wait.

It dropped between Saturday and Sunday.

As at Saturday it was £1 = 500 naira and on Sunday it became £1 = 430 . Naira will appreciate, i strongly believ so.

O ye of little faith, be very string joor. By next week, I believe everything will stabilise better and then students will know their fate.

All the best guys.

@olowoB does the above means I can print my bank statement on the August 3rd and submit my online application say" on August 29th" and the oando rate of 3rd of August will be used in calculating my maintainance fee?
Re: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered Part 3 by mimilyrics: 7:06pm On Jul 25, 2018
Whether you print on the 3rd or not, the rate on the day you submit your online application which, in this case, is August 29 is what will be used.
So if you print on Aug 3 when rate is 400 and the rate when you submit on Aug 29 is 410, it is 410 that will be used to convert what you have in your acct.
