NJN:


Thanks, SpikesC.

However, I'll b submitting statement for tuition fees. So, in summary... school is paying for living costs, while I'm paying tuition fees... which do u think I should use in this circumstance?

naijamark:


That's very wrong. Since you're paying your own tuition (either you've fully or partly paid, or you're submitting a bank statement indicating the amount), then you're on general tier 4.
You're tier 4 sponsored if and only if a government or multinational agency is paying your fees

spikesC:


Schools can sponsor students. If his school is funding his maintenance allowance, they would provide him with a sponsorship letter.
You do not use a sponsorship letter under Tier 4 General.

I would even advise he goes through Tier 4 sponsored, even if he's not paying his school fees fully.

Bro I think naijamark is right. We have discussed this before last year. Can't find the page but you can google the difference.

Thanks, SpikesC.

I'll research on it, so I don't send him through the wrong path



You can ask your school if they would give you a sponsorship letter or include it in your CAS. Then which route you should go through

spikesC:


Yes, it's a new rule

MrMarcus:


Really don't think its a rule, maybe varies with schools.
I got my CAS for Aberdeen few days ago.
My colleague got for lobourough without paying any form of fees.
Mail ur sch.. they would reply.
Except if its an Agent solely repping ur sch.. that way his email address would beer ur sch domain name. e.g abcd.xyz@Aberdeen.ac.uk... Only then I advice u do as he say tho there is no harm in getting clarifications from ur sch..afterall u would b paying millions to them.

Hello!
Justwise nice to see u on this thread. Pls is there anyone going to Uni of Exeter here? Also I need advise concerning the heath insurance thing..what's the best mode of payment to use here as it seems a few people have had issues using MasterCard. also can someone use PayPal for instance to pay on my behalf? someone said I should send the health insurance thing to my school once I pay.. my school didn't ask for that so I'm wondering if that's necessary. Lastly someone told me I need to find out if my school is a biometric center..does anyone know what this means?

I paid online with Zenith's mastercard send the IHS number to your school cus they would need it for your CAS. I saw the number on the CAS I received today.

Meritl:


You don't need the Immigration Health Surcharge (IHS) Number in order to process your CAS. It doesn't need to be on your CAS. CAS relates mainly to issues of finannce i.e. if you've paid the required deposit, e.t.c.
At least, I confirmed this from my school.

olatejucole:

U have to pay for IHS they need the reference number when issuing CAS

How does that work? Pay for IHS without getting his CAS? Do you pay IHS, get a CAS then come back to apply for visa?

olatejucole:

@justwise my agent said she cannot not process the CAS unless we pay for it and on the CAS checking sheet sent to me they asked for the reference number and amount paid. Someone will filled the reference number when filling the visa application form

@ironbender101 where have you been all this while, going through old pages today and I saw ur moniker, hope you are good.

Meritl:


Well , its not needed for my school.
Same with a friend's.
Well you should contact your school to enquire.

spikesC:


Whether your school requires it or not, you still have to pay for it before your visa submission date and include it in your application
