Hello guys if I want to go for visa interview, can I tell them that I have a place to stay because I have a brother who is in a city not too far from moorgate the city where the school I applied to is (university of law business school), so how best should I go about that? Please I need advice.

Cyberknight:


When paying for an expensive education, brand names matter. The University of Law, while it may be a good institution, hasn't got much name recognition, especially outside the UK.

Oloshi83:
First of all, Moorgate is not a city.

Secondly, whether or not you intend to stay with family and save on accommodation costs, you would still need to provide proof of funds.

So yeah, you can tell the interviewer that you intend to stay with family as it’s an easy commute to Moorgate. However, ask yourself this question....if you were the interviewer, would you believe that the funds shown would be available to the applicant throughout the course of his/her study given he/she has made it clear that the plan isn’t to pay for accommodation. Just remember this point when preparing for said interview.

Also, as an aside, I think someone already suggested you consider ‘brand name’ and look into other London Unis. Westminster for one is a decent alternative and is not too far from Moorgate. There are also other Unis that have ‘campuses’ in London (Sunderland, Coventry etc). If your brother lives in London (or neighbouring counties), you should be able to commute to most places. Just check and make sure you’re not signing yourself up for a crazy commute.

All the best.

I don't think any interviewer will even make a positive decision with that. We all know that most countries source of income rely on foreigners spending. If a student living cost is £1200 monthly, his brother /relative trying to accommodate must be living in 2 bedroom flat if he is single with minimum salary of £40000 in London

Hi everyone, thanks for your wonderful contributions to this thread. I'd like to ask if you guys can recommend some good universities for my Ph.D. I want affordable Unis within Scotland and maybe up North of England, my proposed research area is in Sustainable Urban Development. Thanks for your help in advance.

I'm not sure where you got that from but that is not factual.

Oloshi83:
I agree. I was just trying to get the guy to think about it objectively.

Income requirements are always based on gross salary so although I agree that his sponsor/brother would need to be on a decent sum, the Home Office’s requirement always seems to be lower than what reality dictates. For example, last time I checked, for a British citizen/settled person to bring his/her spouse from abroad, they only have to be earning £18,600 before tax.

Agree � with £18600 for British spouse. EU citizens earning to sponsor their spouse is less than that. To accommodate a student in UK, we all know that oga at top who are deciding issuance of Visa, won't welcome the idea of your sponsor living on public benefits or the student coming to study to claim public funds. Is only miracle /grace that makes someone with less than living cost to be issued a visa

Phenmeson:


I agree with you if his brother living in a single room can offer to accommodate him by presenting his tenancy agreement. The cheapest accommodation I saw for 1bedroom flat at Moorgate just now on Zoopla cost at least £2000 monthly. Most landlords only offer you their property to Tenant whose earning is more than twice or 2.5 of his yearly earning.

preciousmathias:
Good day house, please my school fees for cyber security in university of law business school is £12000, so how much am I supposed to have in my account including feeding and house rent to appear in my statement for visa purpose?

justwise:


This got nothing to do with student visa application, applicants should show that they have the required maintenance money as stated by UKBA , that is it, no need to present tenancy agreement or tell the ECO that you plan to stay with your family member.

hello everyone.. greetings to you all.
please I will just go straight to my questions.

1. please what percentage of accuracy can you say one who go for undergraduate studies in nursing would get employed in the UK after the undergraduate studies?

2. Aberdeen or middlesbrough.. which is easier and quicker to get student's job.

3. can a dependent work full-time job? and how much averagely can the dependent make monthly in Aberdeen and middlesbrough.

your answers are highly appreciated.
thanks

Cyberknight:


Re No. 1: Nurses are in demand and one is quite likely to get employed in that scenario. Remember that nurses' pay isn't that fantastic, I think freshers start in Band 5 or so in the NHS payscale, and that's about 23 - 25k p.a. (I stand to be corrected).

Re 2: No -one can answer that question, there are too many variables in it.

Re 3: Dependents can work full time. Second part of that question is not answerable as it depends on the job.
