Yes, they will. You'll pay only the 42k.

TheGuyFromHR:
There's no specific slot to be booked for a walk-in.
Just book any normal (self-service preferably) appointment slot you see for any date you can get. Then once you have an appointment, you can try the application centre to see if they can take you as a walk-in on any date you decide to try.

I've got to respond to this as i was in the same shoes recently.


Throughout yesterday, i couldn't get a date, some slots had the tag "sold" while some that seemed to be free dates had just the grey unclickable patch. It was the same story all day.

Early this morning. I decided to remove all the add on services which summed up to 49k prior (services like courier delivery, flexi appointment and sms notification). So i removed all of them from cart (my checkout sum became 0 naira) and proceeded.

Lo and behold, the grey patch earlier seen turned to be dates with different time slots to choose from, and i proceeded to book a date.

I'm sure this will help alot of people.
Best Regards.

I've finally booked for 4th August. Thanks.

For those who are finding it difficult to book an appointment, please keeping trying you'll definitely find a date.

bjpumps:
Dear All,

Please I need some clarifications on the application process, at the moment, I do not have my CAS dox. yet. I'd like to know the following:

1. Do I wait to receive my CAS document before I go for my TB test or can I book it in anticipation?

2. Can I begin my Student visa on-line application while awaiting these document.

The last question is can someone help me understand better in simple terms, how long your funds are to be in your bank account in relation to when you should apply, I dont'quite understand the 28days/31days matter.

Thank you.

Someone in UK assisted me because I was having issues paying with my Naija master cards.

cdaniel:
Hallo, thanks for the advice. In my case, I never struggled with booking an appointment, i just tried it last night and the earliest date I got was 25th August. Is it possible to amend the date and see if I could get something earlier than 25th?

garuskoko:
Hey guys,


I thought I shld give you guys a heads up especially those that have been unable to book appointment. I have just managed to book appointment after trying for 7 days. My appointment is for 13th August.

I was at TLS today to complain and I met a whole lot of Tier 4 applicants there complaining that they can't book appointments.

So apparently, the embassy is only making very few appointment date and time for Tier 4 applicants available to TLS. And they normally release these appointment at a random time during the day. (Around midday I believe).

I was lucky to see both 9.00 am and 10.00am for 13th August at about 12noon today but the 9.00am appointment was booked out in about 2mins.

So if you are having troubles, just keep checking. Keep checking. Good Luck.

If you do that, the bank statement won't reflect the amount you require for the 28 days before your application.

Aug 3-10 (which is part of the 28-day count) will not be shown on your statement and will lead to a refusal of your application because the ECO will state that you've not shown that the money you rely on is truly available to you because you've not held the money for the 28 days preceding your application.

You'll need to print your statement on the day you submit or anytime after that as long as the statement is not older than 31 days on the day of your biometrics.

mimilyrics:
Please don't waste your application fees or jeopardize your application with a mistake that can be avoided because even AR wouldn't fix this.

Your statement should be 28 days preceding your application which in your case will be from about June 28-July 26. The statement can be printed and used within 31 days of you printing it from your bank i.e. if you print your statement from June 28 or 27 - July 26 (or beyond if you wish) on Aug 4, you can use it for your Sept appointment since it's still within the 31 days validity.

That your school said it's okay doesn't mean that you can. The statement doesn't capture the 28 days prior to your online submission; it only captures the 28 days prior to you submitting it to your school for your CAS and there have been days unaccounted for in that statement before you submitted your online application.
If you don't print a statement capturing the 28 days prior to the online submission of your application, your application will be refused.

You can print a new statement closer to your appointment but it must capture the 28 days prior to your online application submission which in your case is around June 28 - July 26; you can print from June 27 or 26 to be on the safe side.

PS: if the money dipped in any way in the days leading up to your online submission, pls cancel your current application + visa appointment (you'll be refunded since you've not registered your biometrics) and start your 28-day count again before submitting new application. No offense intended with this pls.

If you can get tested before flying like two days before you jet out you don't need to be under quarantine and the UK is also planning a test on arrival if you can afford Dat.. But let's wait till they sort out naija airspace issue first
