Student Visa Success Stories

has anybody in the house  been succesful with this APTECH final year UK admission?i see in the newspapers and i really want to know its authenticity, thanks

Yes i did. Tenancy agreement is actually a legally binding document between the tenant and the landlord. For this document to have been signed by the tenant and landlord, it would mean the tenant have the legal right to occupy the indicated property for the stipulated period of time. This would only happen (in most cases i believe) on the payment of 1 month rent in advance and a deposit equivalent to 1 month rent). I doubt if you would get a tenancy agreement without this payment but then again you never know. Regards

please can anyone address this issue of gaps between going from one level of study to the other.It has always been a question they ask at the BHC, like a friend who had a gap of 12 years after his SSCE before he got an addmission to the university and after finishing he has secured a UK admission for his MSc, do you think this question will not come up in this my friend's case?as a matter of fact,my friend was working in all those 12 years

With regards to using your own accounts as evidence of ability to afford living expenses, i think you should be able to. In my case i didn't have the luxury of a sponsor so i had to use my personal accounts, also as i was being accompanied with family, even if i was able to get a 'sponsor' then, i was not quite sure how the story of a private sponsor willing to sponsor myself and family would sound with the bhc guys so i decided to do everything on my own account.


For the 5 weeks rent paid, i presume this is a private accomodation and that you have the tenancy agreement (or university letter indicating guaranteed acommodation if the place you have secured is a uni accomodation) as evidence of accomodation. However since only 5 weeks have been paid in advance, i reckon you'll still need to provide evidence of being able to afford the expenses for the rest of your study period. The 500k is roughly about 2k GBP so i'm not quite sure if it would be a good idea to tender this alone, except of course you have evidence of other income sources that would take care of the expenses. University would normally issue you with a tenancy agreement but might not be as extensive as for a private accomodation (not that this matters one bit though) and in most cases could be just a covering letter indicating that you have paid for and have a place reserve for you. In my case as i was being accompanied by child, the tenancy agreement requirements was much more explicit, requiring the agreement to indicate room sizes, exclusive use of a specified bedrooms etc. I don't think this is the case for a single student.

Really in my case, since i knew i was going to be covering my expenses personally, i had opened a dom account about over a year back and had regularly converted some of my income coming through my current account to GPB and depositing same in my dom account. My thinking is that even for a dom account, the source of funds still needs to be traced. Also all transactions i did with my university was from the dom account and all the records were reflected on the bank statement. It might be helpful if you could wait till the funds in your account can adequately cover your living expenses and sources are indicated.

I'll mail the spreadsheet shortly. Regards




In my own case, i had a gap of about 11 years between now and my 1st degree. I explained that i have been in employment during this period and presented a letter from my employment detailing employment history and also professional IT certifications for about every year covering these period. Also my first degree was engr while my intended 2nd is in computing so i felt i needed to provide evidence that i've been working in IT since my 1st degree to clarify any questions on relevancy of 2nd degree course. In your case i'm not sure of the bhc guys perception as the gap is between secondary and 1st degree but i think providing carefully detailing activities (and providing solid evidence) between that period might help.  Regards

@amaz
In addition to what Paribus has said, i read a publication by British Council on UK student visa applications where it was stated that such applications should not be sent earlier than three (3) months to the date of resumption for the course of study.

It is always advisable to submit a valid tax clearance certificate along with one's application.

Cheers.
