holloziggi: Good day house,must the sponsorship letter from ur sponsor be typed with a letter headed sheet?

Yes except your sponsor is your parent, then theycan do a formal letter

salsera: @atlanta

Lol! Atlantis, you mean? . Thank you. I'd just fill the hardcopy then.

Not sure what to tick here (6.17).I ticked 'Yes' as shown in the uel interactive form but still not sure. I have paid my fees in full and have no outstanding payments. Any help please?

Atlantis85: Not sure what to tick here (6.17).I ticked 'Yes' as shown in the uel interactive form but still not sure. I have paid my fees in full and have no outstanding payments. Any help please?

Since you have paid your fees then tick [b]N[/b]o and move to other question

@atlantis
Note you still have to put in an amount for your maintenance funds

salsera: @atlantis

Yes that's what uel form stated. I just wasn't sure I got that right. So its the Yes box that's to be ticked then?

Atlantis85:

6.17 says: Do you have any remaining fees and maintenance still due for payment? The answer is NO, if you have paid all your fees.

@Justwise @Atlantis, I believe the answer is "Yes" then you fill in:
Course fees: £ 0.00
Maintenance: £ 7,200.00 (depending on if your uni is within or outside London boroughs of course)
Total: £ 7,200.00

She does not need to pay that money to anyone, that is her maintenance money, the question is: Does she have any remaining fee to pay? If she has paid all the fees then the answer is NO.

The CAS will also state that she has no money left to pay.

The bank statement will show that she has her maintenance money, so she does not own the school any school fees or accommodation money.

@Justwise, it kinda says "Do you have any fees [b]and [/b]maintenance?" Not fees (alone)? or Fees or maintenance? Just saying.

justwise: [/b]

Justwise is right. The English is very simple there and its an easy YES or NO. And if you have paid your tuition in full, the answer is NO. Nonetheless, that part of the form is very trickish. Id say Government sponsored students who have no pending fees are the once who are totally safe by clicking NO in that section.

@justwise, I think @eezeebone is right. And I think that's what @salsera too was tryna say. Thanks y'all

Many people have made mistakes there and still got their visas. But why do the wrong thing and give the ECO double work.

Yes that is because the CAS is there to save that person, the ECO may see it as a genuine mistake, if not then its contradicting because the CAS shows that you own nothing while the form shows that you own some money.

Atlantis85:

Ok, how much do you own the school?

@Justwise, lets just look at it from another angle. Ignore the fees... and look at the instructions:

Box 1: Yes - Complete the boxes below
Box 2: No - No money due, no evidence needed

From what I said, if she ticks Yes, she'll complete the boxes as directed.
If she ticks No, then what,.... she provides No evidence and leaves the boxes blank?

I don't think you'd expect her to tick No, then go ahead and complete the boxes.

If she says No she has evidence..the CAS and her bank statement. The CAS shows that she owns nothing while the bank statement shows that she has her maintenance money.

Now..if she says YES, the question is... how much do she own the school?

I guess she knows what to do

eezeebone:

Yes but if she ticks yes, how do you expect her to write down as the amount she owns the school?

I just clocked something on my CAS. Actual school fees is 12650 with a 2% discount if full fees are paid before resumption. I paid (full discounted) fees of 12397 but here's what's written on my CAS regarding fees:
"5.Course title: MSc International Business
6.Course start date: 24/Sep/2012
7.Course end date: 27/Sep/2013
8.Tuition Fees (academic year 2012/3): £12397
9.Details of any financial sponsorship or tuition / accommodation deposits taken
10.Passport number: Axxxxx

Tuition fee Deposit paid: 12397
Accommodation Deposit paid: 0 "

Shouldn't the school have stated its the actual full fees and not deposit? Or it doesn't matter?

P.s: I've got my gbp7200 ₦ equivalent in my acct with a coupla nairas extra but not enuff to make up the sch fees diff shd I have to do that.

Check the parts I have bolded above. They tally so you have no issues. Just state same in your form when you are asked your tuition fees just as seen in your CAS.

justwise:

I've paid my full school fees. I dont owe the school.

@Atlantis I'd say print out the relevant part of the University document/website/whatever that says they will give you a 2% discount and explain this in the "notes" section.

@Justwise, if nothing else, @Atlantis owes the University accommodation.

Those two lines explains it all, they stated how much the fees is and how much you paid, that shows that you own nothing.

She doesn't.

and yeah, Justwise is right on this one... it shows you owe nothing.
