spikesC:

If you deposited on the 18th of July, you'll be due on or after 15th of August.
Yes, you can pay on the 15th of August

You will book an appointment on the day you paid your visa application. They will provide a list of available dates when you're booking.

2000 pounds is so much enough for IOM test and Visa fee but your other expenses is not what i can guarantee. I do not know how extravagant your expenses can be

You can print your CAS in any color you like. If the accommodation fees is listed on your CAS, then no need to print it, else print it also in any color you like.

Yes print and fill the appendix 8 form. If they don't want it, they will give it back to you.

Nope, you don't need to include the waec and jamb.

bidibudi:
thanks @spikesC u ve done so well
as for the extra 200 pounds it will include my ticket also
do u advise i remove the excess of 2000 pounds
pls ooo help me
i dont wanna go about this thing the second time the hustle and money spent is no joke

justwise:

I have to take your word for it.

You don't need to include the refusal letter but you have to acknowledge the refusal when asked in the form and briefly explain why you were refused. Withholding info about it will earn you 10yrs ban. Its just a test though to know how honest you are, they have all the info already anyway.

milychocs: Hello house
I woke up today to see that "your application has been approved and your visa issued"

Thanks everyone especially @justwise and @ spikeC
For your 100% and more counsel

Timeline- Abuja...TB test Mon(21 July)....visa application/submission etc Tue(22 July)......visa approval this am
Goodluck to everyone

spikesC:

No, do not remove.
You do not need to buy flight ticket before applying.

2000 pounds is around 560k. So do not make expenses of more than 400k before your visa is out.
Iom and visa fees will cost you a maximum of 120k


one mote thing, how did u prove your english proficiency?

bidibudi:

a letter from the deen of my university specifically for the english proficiency
with the university letter head and stamp
and my school wrote to me it has been waved
am i on track

spikesC:

Yep

bidibudi:
So i need not include the letter for the English language proficiency to my document
and also the reference letter from my university are not required?

spikesC:

Nope. You'll just indicate it on the application form

bidibudi:
So i need not include the letter for the English language proficiency to my document
and also the reference letter from my university are not required?

chivitech:

You need not include them, your English language proficiency will appear on your CAS. If you are to include reference letter, it will also appear on your CAS but it is barely done.

mokholar: Hello house, especially Justwise and SpikesC..

I'm applying for a student visa and I have some questions to ask.

1. I've paid my full tuition fees and I have 3m left in my mum's (sponsor) account. The money has been in her account since March 2014 and it has presently (june) been moved to a fixed account. The question now is; can i use a fixed account?

2. If NO, when she moves the money back into her account, do I have to wait for 28day?

3. I have a valid uk visa (2yrs), will the embassy cancel it if they approve my study visa?

Thank you.

justwise:

1. No you can't.

2. Yes you have to start counting again

3. Not really sure about that.

mokholar:

Are u serious! Yeeeeee. I was told that I won't have to count ooo... but the money has always been in the account na and if I print out a bank statement, it will reflect it. so y should I start counting again..?

justwise:

The money was in an account before you moved it to fixed deposit account and now you want to move it back?

mokholar:


Yes... it was in my mom's account. Now we want to move it back into her account.

mokholar: @Justwise... Pls I need ur candid advice ooo.. my agent keeps insisting that I should leave the money in the fixed account so long as my mum has the fixed account cert. I'm so confused right now.

Also, If I eventually return the money back today, 28days will be 31st Aug, hope that is not too late to apply for visa?

Or can I just put the money in my account?

181. You can use money held in an account owned by you or by your parents. If you are using
funds held by your parent(s)/legal guardian(s), you will need to show us evidence that you
are related to your parent(s)/legal guardian(s) and that you have their permission to use this
money.

182. The evidence of money that you use must be of cash funds in the bank (this includes
savings accounts and current accounts even when notice must be given), as a loan letter
or official financial or government sponsorship available to you. Other accounts or financial
instruments such as shares, bonds, overdrafts, credit cards and pension funds are not
acceptable, regardless of notice period.

Money that can be used

cookies: Hello house, I submitted my visa application on 31 July & haven't received any update from vfs as to whether they've started processing or not, and I paid for sms. Usually they send email & sms. Please is there an alternative way that I can check the status of my application? Submitted in Abuja.

akmoses:
Hello all,

please i have been going through the threads carefully and wanna ask a few questions.

1. where best can i submit my application that i won't experience delay (ikeja, teleperfor.. or abuja)

2. is it important to state in the form, the additional information section, all i have been doing (like working) so as to show the time frame of when i graduated till now? And do i need to submit my employment documents, pay slip, tax returns and study leave alongside other documents to prove to the ECO of my return back to work after the masters program? cos i was adviced to add these documents because they want to see proof of wat u've been doing and ensure one returns back to home country

3. can i print my statement on exact 28day or shld i put in a day extra say money deposited on 10th July, start counting from 11th July, the 28days period ends 7th August, and i intend to apply and do d registration online on 8th August, and print statement 11th August. So i was hoping to inform the bank officials i need the statement from 10th July - 8th August (is this wise?), so just incase the ECO wants to count from 8th backwards, i get a total of 30days

4. i did my tb test in june even before i got my cas and somhow i put in a family member address in the uk. does this matters because som1 said i was suppose to put the address of the school.

I await ur responses.

sashacoleman:

I will only answer one question, the others can answer the rest. Make sure whatever u do, u do not make the mistake of applying through VI teleperformance. We are plenty that applied since early July and haven't heard anythn frm them. Try Ikeja or Abj.
