You will be safer with a 31 days count

Please guys, about the statement of account, do I print 28days to the day I applied for visa? Eg: I applied on 23 Aug so do I have to count 28days to 23rd and print?

Pls can one pay IHS fee using two cards?
That looks like paying in bits

What’s difficult in submitting genuine documents to the embassy?

Are you planning to use the money after submission?

I think he was referring to the posts suggesting it’s okay to spend the money after application submission. Justwise is obligated to take down misleading posts or posts that encourage applicants to misrepresent facts

Hello everyone
@mimilyrics @Duchess90 @theguyfromhr

I am currently in the process of uploading document and i just noticed a mistake in my NPC attestation of birth.

The "place of birth" on the NPC attestation of birth is different from what is stated on my passport although they're both in the same LGA in delta state ( different communities).

Does this pose as a serious threat to my application.

Please when did you get your NPC attestation of birth and what were the requirements.

Yes, I understand.

The reason why I don’t think it’s necessary for it to be taken down is for others to see it and learn.

I think it’s crazy that anyone would think of spending the money in their account before getting their visa approved.

Print from the day you started holding funds till date. let the ECO do the counting. Whichever way you are in.

My honest opinion about removing money from account after visa submission is that it is perfectly allowed as far as it is for the purpose of school accommodation or sch fee itself.

It is even clearly stated in the UKVI guidelines that "the money must come to be held in the same manner unless money paid towards accommodation"

I mean, why would I continue to leave the my account if for I instance, Naira gains significant strength with respect to Pounds. (Say pounds to Naira suddenly becomes 420 today). I'll simply walk into the bank and pay off my tuition balance so that I can save some Naira. After all, that is what the money is meant for. There is room for some flexibility on this things. As long as you are plain, truthful and 100% genuine.

Yes the scenario you’ve just painted is perfectly fine. However I’m sure you know not everyone’s definition of “spend” is the same as you’ve explained. Grey areas plenty for this matter

You give people too much credit lol

Ok. Thanks

NO

If you can get it changed, pls do. If not, include a cover letter stating the error and a google search result showing that both locations are in the same state and if possible, the possibility of them being used interchangeably.

This spending money issue I think you can spend provided you don’t go below the required amount. And for verification read the privacy policy on ukvi you have given them consent to verify any document submitted, and trust they have ways they do this.

@eddieifeoluwa.

I will not hesitate to give you a lengthy ban from this section next time you encourage any form of fraudulent practices as regards to visa application.

@Justwise Please help us and delete all these POF wahala, We don't know who is following this thread, things are difficult already please don't cause another wahala for us

This is not really about who is reading , it’s about our image as Nigerians, are we incapable of doing the right thing despite who is reading/watching us?

To add to everything that's been said about proof of funds, keeping your money in your account basically gives you a safety net.

If your application is rejected / refused, and the money is still intact in your account, theoretically, you can apply again immediately and still meet the maintenance requirement. Practically, there might be other factors affecting whether you could apply again, but at least the maintenance funds won't be a problem.

Also, this gives you a chance at admin review incase you're asked to submit recent documentation, in addition to the previous one submitted to confirm if the money is truly available to you. And if the money has been used towards living or tuition costs, the evidence will be submitted for AR too.

Even though some information can't be disclosed or asked as a result of GDPR rules, you signing (consent for information submitted to be verified) the application form and submitting your bank statement gives UKVI the right to ask certain questions about the funds in the submitted statement to prevent immigration fraud and in as much as those questions are Yes or No questions based on what you've submitted, the right/wrong question may just reveal that the funds detailed on your account statement is truly not available to you.
The line of questioning might go like this:
1. Hi, Kindly verify that this statement was issued by your bank and that all the details herein are correct.
2. Are the funds detailed on the submitted bank statement still reflected in the account or not?

Some financial evidence submitted aren't checked except it looks out of place and something is off on your application or until a refusal based on this is contested at administrative review. This is based on situations where the financial evidence was discounted and not further probed due to previous refusals on financial grounds. Please note that this is not reflective of all such situations. @Justwise pls feel free to remove this paragraph if you think that it will give people ideas. Thank you.

My advice is to ensure that the money is left as is except used to pay your study costs which you'd have proof of incase you need it for AR.

Didn’t look at it from this angle, you’re right.

Hello everyone,

I need help urgently. I completed my application and I am currently on the 6th step (FURTHER ACTION or something). I noticed a mistake on the form for one of the dates. Instead of September 2021, I inputed September 2020. I can no longer edit the form and I saw that to change ANY, I will need to CANCEL the first one and RESUBMIT another application.

Please house, what should I do? I have not been redirected to TLS. I have read many pages of this topic but I did see anyone who has been in my shoes before. I hope I am safe?

I am still waiting for an urgent answer. I saw somewhere that I can write a cover letter and take it with me to the appointment. Please if you have experienced such, kindly share your valuable experience.

Yes, you can write a cover letter but I can't guarantee that it will fix the issue. If you're doing self-upload, just upload it before you go, no need to take it to your appointment.

Hi all, please those who have gotten feedback on their application should please update us. Biometric day, collection date etc. Thanks

The error was on my Course end date oh. Instead of 30 Sept 2021 I inputed 30 Sept 2020. I don't know how it happened. I inputed the correct data for IHS and I went through the app but I did not noticed it.

So did you pay the right amount for IHS? It's only the date on your application that's the issue, right?

Rheminix:

@mimilyrics, @duchess90 @theguyfromhr and others.

I have a little challenge.

So I did my bachelor's in a different country. When filling my visa form, I imputed my departure date from the country as the 19th of a a particular month.

But my stamped carries 20th of same month. What happened was the flight was meant to be 19th, but due to delays and immigration procedures, we had entered a new day which was 20th when my passport was stamped.

So do I write a cover letter to explain this and upload also.

Or is it something that's negligible.

Please answer urgently
