Fidelity bank sent a mail last night reducing the spending limit to 300 USD monthly. What is this country turning into? If access takes the same route then it will be hard times for international students

aivewobhor:
For those that have paid for visa fee, can you please state the bank that has $1000 monthly limit apart from access bank. Am paying $1620 for my visa fee and HIS for two years. Access bank rate is just too much. Has anyone used Firstbank or zenith bank or fidelity bank. Your responds will be welcome. Thanks

How was banned for ten year and the ban has finished and now I wanted to apply for student UK visa. Please I need advice on how to package my application. Do you i need to use Immigration lawyer or not? Pls enlighten me

I apply for student visa in 2008 so my sponsor dont have Tax clearance, I used fake tax clearance. Do I need to use immigration lawyer or not?

1. Does the scholarship cover your tuition and maintenance? If it does, you don't need your bank statement but if it covers just your tuition, you'd need to show your maintenance in your bank account for 28 days before applying.

3. This is dependant on your personal preference. Does the scholarship cover your dependants? If the school is sponsoring your accomodation, will it suitable for your family? Would you like to settle in before you bring them over or would you rather you settle in together? The answer to this will guide you on when you'd like them to apply.
If you go with them, you'd be paying a little extra for your temporary accommodation (hotel / AirBnB) but you will have company to help with home sickness and if you don't, it means that you don't have to worry about the stress of house hunting and the initial settling in period on them. That way when they come to the UK, there's ready accommodation and settling-in information for them.
I'd advice that they apply after you settle in (to reduce the stress of settling in) but that's advice based on my own preference. You can choose to apply together and navigate settling in the UK as a family.

4. I'm not sure I quite understand this. Put in place as per documents or UK accomodation / school arrangements for your kids?

Ykaa:
Hello everyone,

I would love to have your advice on some questions.

1. I was fortunate to secure a full scholarship to study at the University of Liverpool. Would I still need to attach my bank statement to my UK visa application if I am applying alone?

2. Is anyone here currently at or about to start their studies at the University of Liverpool? I'm hoping we could link up.

3. I wish to go with my family (4 including myself), would you advise we apply at the same time or sequentially?

4. If we want to leave for the UK at the same time, what would advise we put in place?

Thanks for your kind efforts and best regards.

Ibromoney:
Is there walk-in without appointment in TLS? How much please?

I really don't know...sorry for late reply

See quoted comment below.

mimilyrics:
You can get a T4 visa despite your US refusals; just ensure you state them + the reasons (if any) in your application, ensure that all your documents meet UKVI requirements and prepare for your credibility interview (knowledge about your accomodation & transport options, course & school in addition to not giving generic answers during your interview and confidence during your interview are important).

Read the links below for more info and if you have questions, post them here and anyone who's available will answer them:
Nottingham has explained the Tier 4 Visa process in this link and there's a link to the T4 official guidance in the explanation (take note that the maintenance quoted is for outside London): https://www.nottingham.ac.uk/studywithus/international-applicants/visa-help/10-steps.aspx

Information on how to apply is here on UKVI site: https://www.gov.uk/tier-4-general-visa

Cost:
1. Visa fee - £348

2. IHS - £300 per year; goes up to £470 in October. You can use the IHS checker in this link to calculate your IHS fees: https://www.immigration-health-surcharge.service.gov.uk/checker/type
You'll pay extra IHS for ¹/² year for the extra 4-6 months you'll be granted after your course end date though.

3. TB test from IOM N57,800

Required documents / information for your application:
1. Your CAS information from your school; this information will be filled in your visa application form. Your CAS will also show all the documents that you need to submit with your application.
2. TB test certificate.
3. Documents listed in your CAS.
4. Finance: your tuition fee/balance + maintenance )£1015 monthly *9 for outside London and £1,265*9 monthly for London).
If your course is for more than one year, you only need to show your course fees for 1 year and maintenance for 9 months.

How to show tuition balance and/or maintenance:
A. Your bank statement: This money must be in your account or your parents' for at least 28 days before the day you submit your application online. You will upload your statement to show this.
B. Official financial sponsorship letter from an international company/organisation, the Nigerian govt, the British govt or your T4 sponsor (school). A sponsorship letter will be required except in the case of a scholarship from your school; scholarship from your school will be detailed in your CAS.
C. Loan: must be from a bank regulated by the financial regulators in the country in which the money is held. A loan letter within the 6 months before the date you submit your online application will be required.

Document submission:
After you submit your online application, you will need to pay your IHS, then visa fee before you can select an appointment.
Once you select an appointment, you can select self-upload which is free or assisted upload which costs N11,700.
If you select self-upload, you must upload clear and legible scans of all your documents (preferably in colour since this will closely look like the original). You can upload documents up till the day of your biometrics appointment. You can scan and save your documents in pdf format using the TinyScanner App
If you select the assisted upload, the VAC staff will take care of the scans + uploads for you.
If I missed out anything in the list above, I'll update as soon as I remember.
You can watch the video by TLS in the link below for a step-by-step explanation on the visa application process:

Lol. Thanks for your response. You don't have to say sorry. I am not paying you for the service. You are just being kind to always be of assistance. Cheers.

I really don't know...sorry for late reply

The question is not whether to use an immigration lawyer or not. Have the situation that made you result to using a sponsor with a fake tax clearance changed.

If so, 1. Do you have admission 2. Do you have the necessary tuition funds and maintenance 3. Have you gotten your CAS and started processing other relevant documents like TB etc.

We don't advice using lawyers or agents here, if you are SINCERE this time, you can do it by yourself. Be ready to address the BAN situation too

Cheers
