@justwise,
I got my CAS on Wed and applied on thursday. It showed all the fees paid nd stated that I have paid the maintanance/ accomodation nd living cost to the school. I applied witout submiting the bank statment.
What I wanna ask you is that my school's last registration date is 27th of this month. Is it possible I get the visa by next week thurday cos I don't get it then I might not be able to me the dead line.

I want to say a Big thank you to justwise and every person that has made useful contributions on this thread,your informed comments helped me through the whole process. Am now in the UK 'battling' with my Msc, once again thank you very much guys.

salsera:

the provisional fees are already on the UK bordeer agency website

255pounds to 289 pounds

9000-10000 for living expenses in inner london boroguh

Honestly we should start charging non-nigerians incremental charges every year on everything.
its UK universities that will suffer

its too late for me already got admission cant go through this again-its a good thing its a 1yr course

@justwise My question

I have funds in savings,current and fixed deposit accounts - do i have to move cash out of my fixed deposit as well

salsera:

I wondering whether i can show statement on my Fixed

because with the new instruction on 9000-10000 for maintenance funds - its the combined funds that i need to show.

An agent had previously told my sister that its has to be savings or current account

salsera:

same thing,

September is my start date and since i cant apply till 3months before the course starts so the new prices will affect me

EmmaIK:

@Justwise.
Good morning. I'm in a little fix. U kno I have an unconditional offer for september entry.
Recently I went to a Preparation For Life seminar just for fun & I met one of their counselors. After talking for a while he said I have to write an english language Examination for my visa to be approved.
I emailed my school and asked them, but they said I don't have to.
My problem is that dis PFL has been calling me almost daily as he wants me to write Pearson Test Of English. He said to register is 45k.

Pls wat do u think?

The private schools have no say regarding d english proficiency test. The embassy set d rule and it should be adhered to. The school might tell u it aint required but the embassys decicion supercedes d schools decision. Your admmision doesn't matter but your visa is what matters. Admission without a study visa is useless. Regarding this PFL people, I'll tell u to be careful with them. Cos I applied for a school through them and when I decided to change to another school they said I'll have to pay another N30,000. Abusurd!! My advise is dat don't make d mistake I made. Everything they do is what u can do too. They don't do anything special. They follow d same procedure d embassy requires and u can do d same too. Just be carefull with all these agents whether they have a big office or not. Just be carefull. Before I applied through PFL, they called me regulary but after I paid the money to them they stoped calling me and barely reply y mails and they aren't straight forward with the required tution fee and part tuition fee deposit. Just be carefull with all these agents cos they won't give u full info and wld hide what cld mnake u not apply through them. I once made enquiries through an agent with a big office in lagos and they were hiding the fact that I couldn't work in a private school from me. I later did my researh and found out everything. Pls be warned

EmmaIK:

I dont think the school is a private school. Its the University of Aberdeen. Thanks for the advice regarding those PFL people. I got the Admission on my own without their help, i was only thinking of getting their help with regards the visa application.


@Justwise. Thanks a lot.

Good afternoon, pls can i use a dollar domicilliary account to apply for student visa?.

calebo101:

Hi all, my sponsor has withdrawn the 2 million naira in my account due to an emergency situation and i intend to apply for my student visa by wednesday next week. Although the money has been in my account for over 28 days. If i apply for the visa with an account statement of 27th febuary, would i be successful.? I have met all other conditions but i'm at a loss at the sudden turn of events. Can i apply when the money has been withdrawn/? But i have kept it for more than 28 days. Pls advise me oh so i do not waste the visa fee if i would not be successful.

EmmaIK:

@Justwise.
Gudmorning. I have a question about finances. I've had the money for my fees and living expenses in my account for about 6mnths, but so that I won't spend it, I put it in a fixed deposit till april.
The earliest I can apply for my visa is 10th June.
My question is fo I have to leave the funds for another 28 days again? As wen I fixed the funds, it was debited and removed from my account and shows up as ”transfer for investment to Oceanic bank" in my statement of account.
