monixl:

Okay, My sister paid the money to my account but if u feel or think its neccessary to get a sponsor letter from her i can get that, what documents do i need it to get in support of this? What i read about PBS is that:

1. 30 Points for visa letter.
2. 10 Points for maintainance cost. (£ 7200)
I think the issue of sponsor letter comes in when you are using your parents or legal guardian's account for application
.

Its not abt what i said, not my rule, its what BHC required u to do. Yes your sister can write a letter in support of your application.
She can attach her pay slip or bank statement, they will look at money coming into her a/c or look at her pay slip to decide whether she can afford to sponsor u.
U don't have to believe me, i'm just trying to help. U are free to submit whatever u have.

@ Sonye: If your course is 9 months or less (Inner London) = U need course fees and £800 for each calendar month of the course up to 9 months i.e £7,200. Outer London = course fees and £600 for 9 months i.e £5,400.

If your course is more than 9 months (Inner London) = 1st year of fees, or for continuing students fees for next period of study and £7,200. Outer London = 1st year of fees and £5,400.

U don't need to multiply by 12 or by the number of years u're studying.

Inner London includes Camden, Islington, Southwark, City of London, Kensington and Chelsea, Tower Hamlets, Hackney, Lambeth, Wandsworth, Hammersmith and Fulham, Lewisham, Westminster, Haringey or Newham.


@Sonye - please follow Delarontus' advice for the fee amount (you must only show tuition

Hi everyone, my student visa has just refused sad The reason is I don't have translation of Graduated Certificate. So my attribute points is 0/30 :| Anyway, i can solve it.
However, My fund points also is 0/10 sad. But they just explain blow that " Points awarded as claimed ". I don't know what does it meant. That meant i got Points awarded = 10 like Points Claimed or what going wrong with my fund. I have more than 7200 pound in my bank acc.
I really need every help to understand it.
Thx everyone !!!

fees for the first 9 months of your course for a course of 9 months or more.

Also like Flekan said your primary site of study is where your university course will be held.

@ Phong - you must show you have had the money in your account for at least 28 days untouched before applying. The money includes your maintenance fees AND tuition fees (unless some fees have been paid in which case you should attach receipt or this should be stated by university in visa letter another exception is if you are receiving financial sponsorship) and should be calculated using the oanda.com conversion rate atthe time you want to apply for your visa - you should also write this conversion on the face of your account balance for the UKBA to see. Sorry you have been rejected, they can be quite pedantic at times, but there is still hope.

monixl:

@ Justwise Thanks for the response, I have all the required documents i.e Passport, WAEC Certificate, Visa Letter, Visa Fee, Biometric, Application form, 1 passport photograph and the Bank statement. Please advice if i need to add any other documents, Please note that i have not been lodging that kind of amount in my account in the past i just put in 20,000 or 5,000 sometimes, but i have the full maintanance cost there now, I understand that i cant book for accomodation until i get the visa, how long does it takes to get my visa if i apply on 21st of dec? Please kindly advice me about my application i dont want to make any mistake , its my first time, also i have used my passport to travel to west africa countries several times and tanzania once , i hope it wont affect my application

@Monixl - as long as you have attached everything your visa letter said was used to offer you a place on the course, put the oanda.com exchange rate on your balance statement, followed the passport photo requirements, filled the form in correctly and attached a receipt of your tuition fee payment (or this is written by your university in the visa letter) you should be fine. You must wait 28 days so applying on the 21st is okay, because it is a little close to Christmas - you can expect a delay but since your school has provided an extension just follow the rules and you should be fine.

It is not a requirement to attach a letter from whoever put the money in your account as it is in your personal account, but it is generally believed the UKBA might act faster when they see such as it gives them reassurance of your genuineness - this is not a fact though, just a belief, so if you can do it then fantastic I think it is a good idea, but f not, just apply like that it is not listed as a requirement.

At ksa-girl - I am sorry to hear of your past refusal, unfortunately, the conditions for student visa are different for general visitor visa. Generally you also need to show ties to your home in Nigeria. I suggest you evaluate your reasons for wanting to come to UK and once you decide on that, I can help you if you want to come here to study. But if you want a general visitor visa, try Siena's thread (also a sticky in the Travel section - at the top I believe) - his thread has proven very helpful for those applying for general visitor visas to UK - this thread is strictly for UK study visa, thanks and good luck!

BABABABA:

I thank God,I got my student visa today and also i will like to use this medium to express my sincere appreciation to evry body that has contributed to this thread becos it has really help me in successful visa application

Well done BABABABA - Don't mention it, that is the purpose of this thread, to help people not fall into easily preventable mistakes and to solve those mistakes people have already made - I am glad we could help! Welcome to UK! grin

28 days includes weekends and bank holidays for those of you asking about the 28 day rule for holding money in your account.

You being refused a visitor's visa in 2006 wouldn't affect your chance of getting a student visa in 2010. You just need to make sure you have all the necessary documents you need for your application. Details about you should correspond with that of 2006 when you applied for a visitor's visa

@ ell 77

Your contributions have been very useful though i've been passive on this thread.

I received a uk student visit visa for a short programme < 6mths as part of my academic work in sch ( university ), I also

intended to visit my sister during the period as part of the stated purpose of my visit. However, I could not attend at the stipulated time because

the commencement of the programme coincided with my exams. The programme is over now, but my visa is still valid (2 months spent). I've been

invited for a different programme in a different institution and I am free to attend. My sister is also ready to write another invitation letter. Can I

still enter the uk with my visa?. How rigid are the UK boarder regulations on a student visit visa ? Do all the tier 4 regulations apply to this type of visa?

i will appreciate your response.

Yes, include the affidavit you collected from the Federal High Court when you submit your application. You can also write a letter to address it also. You are to print your bank statement after the fund needed for your application has been in your account for 28 days. All they want you to do is keep the money needed in your account for a minimum of 28 days

Your post suggests you've already secured admission. You must have been considered for admission based on the qualification you indicated in your UCAS application (in this case WAEC). So, what's the fuss?
Re: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered by lad1000: 9:30am On Dec 18, 2009
What i mean is that i sat for my waec in 2002 and i applied directly to the College for a 3 years programme . I don't know if my waec is enough for a proven track of study cos i've been working ever since i finished school certificate.
Re: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered by pespes: 10:39am On Dec 18, 2009
@lad1000

Pls submit the document that was stated on your Ucas as proof of assessment
