unistudent1: My question is about maintenance funds. I know that you must show evidence of 1020*9 months for maintenance funds for London. That means 9180 total. I'd like to ask, for maintenance funds, let's say my school is in London and my accommodation fees are 5000. I have already paid 1020 pounds towards my accommodation. Does that mean I should now show 9180-1020 making 8160 or should I show 8160 plus the remaining 3980 that I still owe the school for accommodation making 12140? Does the question make sense? Please let me know so I can clarify.

Also, has anyone applied in Abuja this week?
Correction:The maximum you should pay towards accommodation is 1020.
all u need to show is now 9180 - 1020 = 8160

The maximum you can pay towards accommodation is 1020Gbp. You should have at least 9180-1020 (8160) available for maintenance funds.

There's nothing wrong with having excess though.

Please endeavour to go through the Tier 4 guidance paper on the UK Visas website.

OK, so I am new here and been following happenings regarding this study visa issues. Why does teleperformance delay with visas? I just read someone applied on the 12th and is picking up already at Ikeja? I applied on the 3rd at teleperformance in VI and still haven't heard back. Quite frustrating I must say.

I understand that it is because they are new. They just started processing this thing and this is peak student visa time. All their applications go to Sheffield whilst those of VFS go to Abuja where they are handled quickly and sent back. Now Sheffield gets from several countries so there is a lot for them to go through. Fortunately or unfortunately Tele are taking over the whole of Nigeria, Abuja has started, Ikeja will start at the end of this month so we are the guinea pigs for them to get the system right. Unfortunately, they are doing really poor at communication. It seems their website resigned since 1st of September and everyone since then has been unable to see anything showing that they have even applied. When you go there they are also not quite as professional as one would want. Honestly, the guy there smiles when telling you that your documents are not ready as if he is enjoying it. Apart from that moment he is frowning like he just took a sip of raw lime juice. They don't understand customer service and feel like they are doing you a favour. There is no suggestion box. They seem to be disorganised as you see courier packages dumped everywhere behind them. Just pray because right now you are at their mercy. I hope and wish someone at the British Home Office is reading this forum, Teleperformance is not doing their image any favours. Anywhere else in the world people would have staged a protest by now. But... this is Nigeria, where even the security feels he can advise you on visa issues!!!

So I requested University to further extend my Joining and they have extended till 28/09/14. I requested University to infrom Home Office about the extension and they told me that they have dropped a mail.

mhoreh:
Am sure my mailbox got tired of me refreshing it today, checkd my spam severally, and I did follow all instructions just that I once had a refusal many years ago and can't find the passport or the refusal letter so I had to use the extra information box to explain and pick Jan 01 1900 since picking a date was mandatory .... Staying positive, hopeful and keeping faith ..... Anyway are u going to Leeds, cos I must ve seen u lastweek

In that case, just keep the faith alive and be optimistic. Since you said you finished about the same time with me, i also thought we must have met at some point. I had no 146 at the gate, then i was giving Tag 23 for tier 4 when we were called in but then some 2 guyz and a lady already seated before we came said someone already gave them 23 - 25 respectively, then after the documentation verification with the guy at the lobby, i was given another tag and this time it was 168. Finally in recounting what transpired during my submission, i remember i had a chat with two guyz while waiting to be called for biometrics, a fair guy ( going to manchester for a 2-week course or so) and the other guy is dark ( don't knw which school he's going but heard him say he came from Kaduna and he's paid part of his tuition...)

I don't knw if the above helps u figure out me... and lastly, i'm going to Uni of Southampton for MSc Cyber Security.

Ok now i've gotten my visa, when can I start "touching" my maintenance funds?

I mean when can I start using it such that it could fall below 9180?

Am I still required to present evidence of funds to anyone?

Thanks

Re: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered Part2 by justwise(m): 9:29am On Sep 19, 2014
@Hahyour

That is very uncommon because they don't normally make such call asking for the source of income and where an applicant plans to stay.....this is a sign of policy change as regards to source of finance.

That said...genuine students has nothing to worry about, you should be able to answer any question if called regarding your course or source of your money.

This sort of thing is triggered by suspicious activities by the applicant. The UK student visa is the easiest to obtain and the rules and requirements are straight forward but that will change pretty soon as people continue to abuse the financial requirement aspect of it because that is a big loophole in the system.

sunvick: Please people,
What is the maximum amount of money a tier 4 student is suppose to travel with please.

I believe it should be below an equivalent of EURO10,000 else you will have to declare the amount to avoid being charged for Money Laundering. Ideally, you should avoid having too much money on you while travelling.
