Hello all, please i will be applying for a UK student Visa this year for september admission. Can i use My Dad's Friend as a sponsor for my Uk education on my students visa application? He will be responsible for the bank statements. I dont want to use my dad's own account because i am afraid it wont be enough for sponsor and i dont want my visa denied. My Dad's friend has agreed to be the sponsor and provide account statement. Is this acceptable for student visa tier 4 sponsor? Thanks

you can possible refer your dads friend as a relation or something.

@temmym3,

You would rather you visited Travel Section of the forum for detailed information as regards your post.A lot have been written already,
According to the Tier 4 RULES,you will need to provide your sponsor's financial capability before you be granted the student visa to study in the UK.I f the sponsor(s) is/are your biological parent(s),he/she/they will need to support your visa application with his/her/their bank statement of a/c.But considering your situation,your sponsor must deposit the money in your bank a/c ,and the money must get to your a/c at least 28 days prior to the time you make your application.Be informed that the money must be in your a/c at the time you are making the application.Anything short of these are not acceptable ,

Thanks guys,
@elderLagon. i hav already browsed through the General student visa thread in TRAVEL section and even pasted this question but no one seem to answer me until i posted here . Pls something kps botherin me About WAEC CERTIFICATE, i had my waec last 2 years and i was told in the waec office that i couldnt get my certificate until after 3years of my waec exam, I am about to get my statement of result and also a waec scratch card but will this serve as subtitude to the certificate? Or is there any other thing i can do? Also my BIRTH CERTIFICATE. The name (both middle/last) i have bn using in my documents since my primary education is different from the one in my birth certificate. I am about to get a new birth certificate but wont this jeopardize my chances of getting the visa? Thanks.
