@dove30, congrats to you, pls i wud want to know how long it took them to reply you, i applied on the 26th of july and yet to get a reply, today makes it the 17th working day,

     when i applied it took 14 working days to get mine.but i applied early enough in June so am sure that's why it was faster cos they wouldn't have had much applications to handle at that time.you don't need to panic i understand if you are cos i felt the same way.anxiety and all lol!.They have a lot of applications at this time and it takes a bit longer now and it shows they are working bruv so dont be worried.its not going to take longer than uve waited just a lil bit of patience ok!!!

      HMM ABOUT THE SHOWING OF MAINTENANCE FUNDS AT THE AIRPORT I HAVE NOT HEARD THEM REQUESTING FOR IT AT THE AIRPORT.I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW THAT WOULD WORK OUT BECAUSE THEY HAVE NOT STATED IT ANYWHERE THAT WE SHOULD BRING THAT TO THE AIRPORT!!BUT ON THE OTHER SIDE IT WOULDN'T BE NICE FOR ANYONE TO THROW THAT AWAY SO WHAT I HAVE SIMPLY DONE IS TO PRINT MY STATEMENT OF ACCOUNT  AND TAKE IT ALONG WITH ME.AND IT WOULD NOT BE OLDER THAN A MONTH BEFORE I TRAVEL WITH THE STATEMENT. I AM JUST DOING THIS SO I WOULD NOT BE A SCAPE GOAT.BUT TO BE HONEST I DON'T THINK IT WOULD MAKE SENSE IF THAT'S WHAT THEY ARE DOING.BUT HAVE HEARD THAT SOME SCHOOLS REQUEST IT TO VERIFY AND AM SURE THE SCHOOLS ARE DOING IT SO NO STUDENT WOULD PUT THEM IN TROUBLE.IT ALL DEPENDS ON YOUR AGREEMENT WITH YOUR SCHOOL ON PAYMENT OF FEES.LIKE ME SCHOOL COLLECTS HALF PAYMENT INITIALLY AND YOU ARE ALLOWED TO PAY THE REST IN THREE INSTALLMENT  PAYMENTS.IT VARIES FROM SCHOOL TO SCHOOL SO YOU HAVE TO KNOW WHAT YOUR SCHOOL SAYS ABOUT PAYMENT OF OUTSTANDING FEES.BUT PLEASE I AM USING THIS OPPORTUNITY TO ASK EVERYONE ON THIS FORUM WHO HAVE IDEAS ON WHAT IS GOING ON ABOUT  VERIFYING FEES TO POST THERE VIEWS SO WE CAN ALL TALK IT OUT CHEERS

dellman:

@ all, Pls all nairalanders, there  is a new twist to this application tin.i just got a call from my bank that the embassy wants to verify my account n make sure all funds are still intact, thank God every fund  is still intact, wat i now get to know now  is that. 1, the application period  is now 20working day and the reason  for dis  is to make sure all funds are in your account after you apply,  2.they now cross check every document you supply so pls don't supply fake documents cos they will detect, wish all of us still waitin best of lucks,

justwise:

The bottom is this. . .you could be asked at the airport to show the avaliability of the fund you claimed you have during the visa application but this is rare, however, your school have the right to request for ALL the fees to be paid at once, now if you have an agreetment with your school for installment payment then u got nothing to worry about, basically, you could be asked to show that money at any point in time if they want to. Just don't triger it by. .e.g defualting in your payment , not turning up for lectures or working more than 20hrs a week and get caught.

dove30:

That sounds more straight forward!!the solution is just to print along your statement of account showing funds or just show evidence of funds where ever you have them.and try to find out how your school wants you to pay the remaining fees if you have not paid all.and dont trigger them to ask for it lool!!!nice one just wise well said!! and if you do not have all this then know you are gambling with chances they may ask and they may not!!!

@All, any one joinin RGU this Sep? Will like to get in touch, u can reach m. Also Nlanders in RGU or Aberdeen can also help am seriously looking for a private acco around the sch.

Quick question house, i have secured accommodation in a halls of residence but i have not made a deposit. They have sent me the contract which i am supposed to sign as they have reserved a room for me in the hostel. The keys would be issued to me as soon as I sign the contract and make a deposit. I would like to make a deposit for the room when I arrive in the UK.
Would I have problems with the immigration control when I arrive in UK? (NOTE:I already have a reservation but have not made payment yet)

I need a response ASAP! thanks guys.

bountimore:

@justwise

How about someone who hasn't arranged for accommodation with the school?

bountimore:

Thanks justwise, a friend will actually be picking my up, plan on arriving the uk like 2weeks before my resumption,but wouldn't be resuming at the school straight away, will be hanging with my friend till the actual date of resumption and see if during that period I can get an accommodation that isn't school's own,maybe around the school's environ. how do i mention this to the immigrations, will this affect?
