@Justwise and other gurus in the house. I just applied for a Taught postgraduate course. I am a business man, graduated 2012, sponsoring myself and 23years old. I have a registered COY incorporated in 2012 with a CAC certificate and tax Clarance certificate showing the commencement date of trade as July 2014. I have a savings account that covers both my maintenance fee and also Tuition fee with extra sum. I have few questions to ask:
1. Do I need to provide proof of source of funds?
2. Do I need to submit all the above listed company documents?
3. I have a property that gives me about 1.3million Naira annually. Should I submit the agreements I had with my tenants as proof?
4. I have an inherited landed properties, should I add them too?


Do I need this document when applying for a visa?



thanks

Hello @Justwise and other distinguished members of the House, please how do I pay my tuition. My visa debit card was declned. I contacted Diamond Bank and was told that my limit is below the 50% tuition I am supposed to pay. Since Monday, diamond bank has been posting me and have not provided a solution. I don't have online banking access Andy funds are trapped in their bank. Please what do I do.

That's what I did. I submitted, paid for and printed my application on the 12th, but my 28th day was on the 23rd, did my final transaction and submitted on the 24th. all in September. Visa was issued in a week. I think some other people here did that too.

.....just the way you explained it here, the most important thing is telling the truth, you may not be able to remember all the details but tell the truth if asked.

percyfaya:





ok but should i write it in the extra information section or wait until i am asked during the interview.below is my writeup in the application

I APPLIED FOR A PERMIT WHEN IN SOUTH AFRICA TO UNDERGO A SHORT PROFESSIONAL DIPLOMA COURSE,BUT AFTER 2 MONTHS I CANCELLED THE VISA APPLICATION AFTER I FOUND OUT THE COURSE IS NOT A PROFESSIONAL DIPLOMA AS I WAS TOLD BUT JUST A CERTIFICATION NOT APPROVED AS THE PROFESSIONAL DIPLOMA DOESNT HAVE APPROVAL SO I WILL BE AWARDED A DIPLOMA,I REPORTED THE DECEPTION TO AUTHORITIES,GOT MY FEES REFUNDED AND TRAVELED BACK TO NIGERIA,HENCE I DIDNT OVER STAY IN SOUTH AFRICA THAT IS WHY THERE IS NO OVER STAY STAMP AND FINE STAMP ON MY PASSPORT.


Thank you

justwise:


Only provide such explanation when asked in the form or during the interview.

Hello I'm interested but I have a wife and a six months old son. Is that okay with you? I'm a Phd student and my school is in London but I've not been able to secure cheap accommodation in London. I don't mind commuting from Birmingham to London

I applied for a tier4 student visa to study at capital college eltham london,I was refused on the ground that my maintainace fee wasn't sufficient enough to cover my accomodation even when my mum deposited 16500euros.the equivalentof 3.6million in my account for 33days,that apart,was also told that I didn't do research on other school before applying,that they weren't sure I was a genuine student due to one or two mistake I encountered on a phone interview,I applied for an administrative review,was called last week friday to fill the review form and send to an email the embassy gave me,eventhough my review has been sent on an earlier date before the call,its been approximately 2weeks now,and I haven't heard from them yet,my school was able to send me an accomodation letter after the refusal,and my fees is just 3500pounds of which have made a down payment of 1500pounds,not withstanding the 3.6million approximately 12500pounds in my account.

@spike the wise one,just so to convince them when I applied,I added my mums pay slips,promotion letters and appointment letter,just so they won't doubt the source of income of my sponsor,made a mistake of not attaching the slips of the last 6months of 2013 instead of the first 6months slips of 2014,so the ECO said the slips I tendered weren't recent and that what if my mum isn't in service anymore,so for the review,the solicitor rquested I sent him a copy of my mums bank statement of the last 6months of her salary account,and I was also lucky to get her recent 6months pay slip,so with my accomodation now covered and my mums been able to prove that she is well in service to sponsor my studies,what are my chances for a successful review?
