FutureDon:

Thanks a lot for your response. I'm still looking for a trusted dorm account owner to use. Meanwhile, I have submitted an application to open a dorm account for myself. All the best bro!!!

Before I paid mine, I verified from gtb, uba and diamond banks if it would be possible to pay the fees without a dorm account and they all answered in the affirmative, stating that i will just have to fill a 'form A' and the funds will be transferred from my local account to the foreign(school) account but i'll also incur some bank transfer charges. When i calculated how much charges will be deducted from my account, I decided to get someone with foreign exchange trading rights to pay for me at a reduced charge from a different bank(Although there wasn't much difference in the end). My POINT is it's possible to make tuition payments without a dorm acc. Just be sure d total tuition and bank charges are in your account cos d bank charges will be deducted from your account. I'll advice u dont use a strangers dorm account as some people do, cos d school can only refund your money(if d need arises..but i'm hoping it wont) to d account you paid from.

Hello Justwise, Could you please give me help me with this. I once overstayed my visit in the UK and was refused entry to return in 2007, a month later, I applied for a student visa to study there and was refused again. I've not applied again since then. My parents now reside in the UK legally and I am now married and my husband is a greencard holder in th US. My parents want to invite us over to the UK as a wedding present for a 2wks holiday, they are both sponsoring my trip from lagos while my husband will join me there. If I can prove that I've obtained a degree in Nigeria after the refusal and currently in my service year, plus I got married last month. Do you think I'll be granted a visit to the UK?
Many thanks

the reason they gave was that my reason for applying for a student visa did not add up cos the solicitor that compiled the documents in the UK changed the letter for the university admission letter saying, the first school later merged with another school and later school was not even in my line of study. ( Institute of technology, while I wanted to study business admin) (2)that I tampered with my passport.ie there was a backdated stamp on my passport which truly did not add up since really did overstay. But I told them I panicked cos I overstayed and was misled by a immigration staff at the point of entry who convinced me that he could put any date I wanted on my passport for me. So I did disclose that I overstayed, I just could not explain myself properly during the interview cos of all the complications. Plus, after I was refused, I was so destabilized that I forget all the papers they gave me on the public bus. I know... its really messy. Any help will be much appreciated. thanx.

Yes i have my CAS The school gave me my cas without paying one kobo
And on my Cas the only document stated was my BSC certificate
Is there any means to confirm if my CAS is original because giving one CAS without paying any money is wounderful

To my best of knowledge some schools have some programmes that do not required deposit. I have two CAS statement from two schools already withou paying a dime so I do not think your CAS is fake.

This explains my hatred for 'agents', you have broken every possible immigration law.

The 10yrs ban is not in place by 2007, so i don't know the ban you are under at the moment.

One of the ways out is to apply and be completely honest with all your immigration crimes just to know what your case is, OR you email BH and ask to know if you are banned from entry the UK, that email or letter should contain your immigration history, what happened then, passport number and full name. If you get a reply then you will know if the ban has expired or you still have 5yrs to go.

You can type the letter, print it out and address it to the ECO.

Take your time and write the letter. . . . that 5yrs ago you broke immigration law by. . . . . . you explain what happened. . . that you are not writing to depend yourself but to know what your immigration status is since the 10yrs ban wasn't in place 5yrs ago when you committed the offence.

YAy! Congrats, bruva!! Waiting for my turn o... will be applying next month. How did you go about the WAEC thingy? I'm presently in ABJ and still intend to obtain a letter from WAEC before my 28-day period elapses plus the affidavit I already have, although I'm contemplating not even going for the WAEC letter since i already told my school to include it in the CAS that I submitted an affidavit to point to the fact that my YOB is 1986 and not 1985 as it is on the cert. I guess that will have to do. Could you go over your process from CAS and exactly what you tendered? Where are you having your program? Kindest regards...

Where is your school located? Inside or outside London? Do you have your CAS?

That is Cranfield University in Bedfordshire, yes some schools do give CAS without deposit.

You need to have £7200 (maintenance money) plus all your school fees in your account for 28days before applying for visa.

These two links have all the info you need for completing the visa application form and documents you need.

If possible, try to use someone else's Dom acct (I used my sister's) but the incurred charges are over the roof mehn, for GTB o; I was charged about 60Pounds xtra when I transferred my tuition deposit of 3000Pounds, or try to use a certain Airchoice Travels. I was referred to them on this forum as well and I am in no way affiliated with or advocating for them. I called them up to enquire abt their services and was told to transfer the Naira equivalent (I was not in Lagos so I could not go over to their office; they're at Opebi I think)and that they would be forex-ing @ 162Naira/Pound. Thought that was much so I opted for GTB but realized that's much worse..... Best of luck!

Did you pay in Pounds into your sis dorm account or Dollars? I'm having issues too coz even though I have a dorm account its Dollar denominated.

Thanks. s per the waec thing, i submitted a notorized affidavit stating the errors on my waec certificate and the correction. A photocopy of my waec certificate was also notarized. I had done the notarization since 2010. Wishing you all the best. Hope to welcome you personally to the uk.

@all rather than give any money to agents, send it to justwise.

Just get numbers 1-3 on your list and submit it.
Make sure your documents are GENINUE. Any mistakes(dob, name spelling) get an official document(affidavit which should be notarized ) to back you up and make sure you specify the mistake in your form.
