Good morning All,
Please does anyone have any idea on the cost of the U.K. student visa in Naira?
Thanks

Don't bother yourself with exchange rate fluctuation as long as you deposited the correct amount or even more from day one. You can't control it and you can't keep topping up each time it goes up.

Not a single person i know has been refused because of exchange rate fluctuation since the start of this thread 8 yrs ago.

The only case i remembered was the person who deposited less and hoping that exchange rate dropping will benefit him but he was refused.

Hello Justwise , please I need your help.

So if I have to apply now that the exchange rate is up, what supporting document can I add to explain to them about the rate inflation. Cz I put beyond the expected amount and even up until the day I printed the statement, the rates were in line. I was waiting for my CAS when the thing went up. Printed the statement on Aug 24

justwise:


When did you print out the statement?

When did you print out the statement?

Question1:

Kindly help me shed light please,

1.What does primary site means?

The tuition fee for my school is 15,000. I was offered a scholarship of 6,000 and I paid 9000 already. My issue is that my CAS letter shows my course fee as 9000 instead of 15,000. But the 6k scholarship was stated on the cas.

2, So, on my visa application form the question, How much are the fees for your course of study, the figure should be the sane as in your cas? (Note: Meanwhile the course fee on my cas indicates GBP 9000, after deducting the 6k scholarship from 15k. )

3. Have any of your course fee been paid? I've paid 9k actually. But should it be to UK education provider of Oversea Higher Education institution?

4. Do you have remaining fees and maintenance still due for payment? Should it be yes or No (I got 6k scholarship and paid 9k = 15k. I've got maintenance fund in my account).
Furthermore,
Course fees................
Maintenance .............
Total ......................
Biko What should I include?

5. Have you ever travelled outside your country of residence, excluding the UK, in the last 10 years? I schooled in Ghana, and always come to Nigeria each time I'm on break. Should I answer this question by writing only the first day i travelled to Ghana or?

God bless!

July 24th sorry for the oversight.

1. The address listed for your school on your CAS.
Ask your school to update your CAS. If not, include your receipt for the 9,000 paid. And list it as one of the documents you're submitting.

2. Fees for your course of study should be the full fees as listed on your CAS. There's a part where you'd need to state fees paid, this should include the scholarship and the amount you've paid. It shows course fee as 9,000 and Paid!

3. If it's a licensed tier 4 sponsor(which in this case should be a University), select the paid to UK education provider.

4. Select Yes. Fill in 0 for course fees and fill in the required amount for your maintenance.

5. List all your entry dates to Ghana. Thank you

@mimilyrics Can I use my gtb naira card to pay for my visa application?

mimilyrics:
I don't think I understand what you mean there. Do u mean that your CAS shows that all tuition fees have been paid?
Normally, the part that has total paid to your T4 sponsor should be £15,000 (6,000 scholarship+9000 which you paid) followed by a breakdown of how they arrived at the total paid. And when you fill the form, since you have no outstanding fees, put 0.
If this is not the case and if it's not been updated (or won't be in time for your biometrics) in the CAS system by your school, you'd still need to fill in 0 for outstanding fees (because you have no outstanding fees to pay) but include the receipt you got for the N9,000. I got a scholarship from my school too and that was how it was put on my CAS statement. The total paid to my school was my scholarship+amount I paid.
I've attached a pictorial guide though in case I misunderstood that part of your question.

Question1:


I think we are saying same thing, Financial Data section on my cas has something like this;

Course Fees: 9000 (instead of 15,000 )
Courses Fees Paid: 9000
Accommodation Fees Paid: 0.00

However, they indicated the scholarship somewhere at the back of the cas letter, is that normal?

nesnaira:
Hello, I read that you can only submit a personal account statement, but my Dad's(sponsor) account is a business account which he owns. Do I submit the statement of account like that. Please help!

mimilyrics:
Okay. What did they then state as your total fees? If your scholarship is on the CAS, just put stated on CAS.
I don't know if that's normal. I guess different schools word them differently.

Mine as contained in my CAS is as below:
Course fees are 15,000
Course fees paid: 13,000
Accommodation: 0

The payment breakdown as explained on my CAS:
Scholarship:10,000
Amount I paid 3,000

Question1:
@Oga Justwise....

Please I need your help on this, I got two refusal letters last year for short term student visitor. Am I supposed to address the reasons for the two. Or I should deal with the most recent one.

I want to know if it's ok or if anyone here has applied for visa whose date of application exchange rate on oanda is a bit higher than what he/she had in thier account during the 28day period.
I have already done my funding which was above the rates on oanda through out the 28day period,however I had to send the statement to my uni for verification cos they asked before they could send my cas, I was planning to pay for my application on the 2nd of August but unfortunately the rates peaked and up till today been the 7th of Aug it hasn't dropped and am a bit skeptical if it's gonna drop soon cos it's #470 to £1 at the moment and the rate I used was#450 to £1 at the time I commenced my funding.
Pls I need ur advice guys if I should submit cos my statement is about 2weeks now since I printed it out and I don't have any money to top up o. My tuition

Hello,
I am new here and I don't know if I am posting the right way. Please my question is,
I applied for a six months student visa to the Uk in April and I was denied on the basis of my personal economic status. My dad don't have the money to sponsor me so My uncle was my sponsor and he is boyant and has paid the full fee to the school. My application was OK but they judged me based on my personal circumstance, that they are not sure I will return or finance my stay without a third party.I only emitted my uncles statement of account and my dad's concent letter together with other documents.

Now I want to reapply and this time around I want to emit my uncles statement again since he was d one that paid my tuition fee and also my personal account because my uncle paid in 3million as my maintenance fee which am to leave in my account for 28days but he told my dad to write in his consent letter that he (my dad) paid in the money to support me. Also my dad has a company which he made me one of his directors when I was still in sec school. He want to submit that to show my ties to my country.
Please my question is can I get the visa this way?

Hi Everyone,

I stumbled on this page while i was seeking answers on why it is taking so long for a decision to be made on my student visa apllication to the UK, and i must say, you guys have done amazing things on this forum.

To the crux of the matter. I applied for a visa on the 6th of july after which i paid the necessary fees and my appointment was slated for the 10th of july at the ikeja vac (Etiebets place or thereabout).

On the 10th of july I was interviewed and the necessary documents were submitted.

On the 11th of july i got a confirmation mail from (tls contact) indicating that my application has been received .

On the 19th of july i got a mail from "sheffield" that my application has been received for decision making.

Following the timeline set above, i understand that decisions are made withing 15 working days for standard visa applications and in my own case it has been close to 30 days (non working days inclusive ) and yet i have not gotten any form of reply/message, either from "tls, sheffield Or ukvi.

Since the lapse of the expected 15 working days i have been worried sick . I have tried contacting the responsible parties by placing a call through, but there has been no conclusive reply, i have also tried to track the process using both the tls portal and the new (trial) ukvi checking system but all to no avail.

I just want to know if this is normal or is there any other person in a similar postion.

Thank you.
