@EVERYBODY.....
If you are paying your school fees,do not use first bank.am nt 'de-marketing' them o.just a tip to save people headache.
Unless u are using a domicilliary accnt,they will take up to 10days to 'process' ur payment.
Its best to use either GT bank or Standard chartered.
***speaking from personal experience o

Not true, maybe your branch had issues....,I used first bank and the transaction was carried out same day, tho it took the school 3 days to acknowledge the transaction, but they acknowledged they received it the day I made the transaction.

I still prefer gtb tho "Personal preference"

Yes it was a dorm account. The officer insisted we use a dorm account for the transfer. Why didn't you use a dorm account?

Does anybody know who processes Visa for Candidates on Full or Partial Scholarships? E.g if one is on a full scholarship say by PTDF, is it PTDF that will also handle the Visa application?

hello @Justwise

I'm about to apply for my student visa and I intend to use my personal bank statement and my parent's. The statements are 3 in total. All these statements have balances that have not been touched within the last 28 days but one. On the last one, there have been recent transactions within the last 28 days. However, the min. balance within the last 28 days has not exceeded the remaining balance to complete the maintenance funds requirements. Let me break this down so you would be clear.

Fees- £14300
Maintenance - £7200
Total - £21500

The balance of the bank statements
Personal - £4220 (kept for min. of 28 consecutive days)
Parent's Dorm account- £16000 (kept for min. of 28 consecutive days)
Parent's naira account - min. of 400,000 naira for more than 28 consecutive days (From UKBA, it states exchange rate is £1-N270)

Am I good to go?

Thanks in advance

what if my current visa will expire 4 to 6 months before the start of the PhD

Brethren. Why is it that I can't even track My visa application I made in Abuja abt 16 days ago?. Its still telling me invalid search. Is it because I paid for the courier service?

@justwise Thanks a lot

chy22:

That means you have to return to Nigeria to apply again.

Ladies and Gentleman of Nairaland. Pls i'm in a tight corner. I am going for my masters and i have gotting my CAS and every other document needed but my sponsor account has just been credited on 27 july which means i will have to waite till 27 of august before i can print the statement of account and submit. The problem is my school resume on 13 sept and lecture start by 24 sept. Now should i ask for 2 weeks extension or to deferred my admission till january 2013. I'm just confused.

^^^
Ask for a 2 week extension and add it to your documents when applying.
