Danyl: @justwise, but those who are in public colleges are they allowed to work....?

20 hrs a week and full time on holidays, check the ukba tier 4 guideline for more info.

FutureDon:

I intend traveling to Manchester within that period also, my final destination is Sheffield. Seems you are going to Sheffield too? Qatar Airways appears to be the cheapest at the moment, no thanks to the long waiting hours at Doha, Qatar.

I'm awaiting visa approval though. Hopefully, it's going to be good news for us.

Nice one bro. Still waiting for visa too, hopefully this week. I would keep you posted. Sheffield uni and SHU are just some mins away from each other by tram.

holloziggi: Justwise n darkchild,jst payed the minimun amount for my fees which is £3000 but the school jst emailed me today that they got 2990,would this is anyway stop my cas..dis was the mail they sent Dear Student,

We received £2990.00 on 13.08.12 thank you.

Please expect to hear from our admissions team soon.


Kindest Regards


No I doubt it would, there is always a 10 pounds bank charge when you do a bank transfer. Mail your school tomorrow morning, state your fears and ask if it would affect your CAS. I really doubt it tho

Loriante: Friends,

My bank statement hasn't got a bank name and logo.. However HSBC has attached a head-letter with it, having a bank logo and name, referring to the bank statement as an attachment and assuring it's authenticity..

What do you think, please.

I think you dont have a problem as long as the bank has written an official letter on its letterhead to cover you.

Well,mebbe u guys used a domicilliary account or ur branch is efficient.
My branch keeps on telling me that its ano head office issue,anyway,I've called firstcontact and they are assuring me of 2mrw.BTW that makes it 10 working days.I pray CAS comes out in 3 days like others o. So i can drop my docs on wed/thurs.

I did bank transfer using the form1. Maybe they are having some hiccups. Be hopeful, You would be fine

penfold: @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"

Donxavier: I submitted today. Got there around 1pm and I finished 3.30pm. It went well. The only thing i have to add is that it seems submitting the CAS statement is compulsory, cos the officers checking the document requested for it and mandated that i include it in my package. I learnt it's probably going to take 20 working days to process, that's a full month because it's 'rush hour' time.
You pay 78030 for the Visa fee, 400 for the sms fee and 500 for processing fee totaling 78930, that's if you re paying at the VAC. Only one passport photograph is needed and it's better to take it opposite the VAC just before you enter so that you are sure it meets the UKBA requirement. No need to go with bags cos you wont be allowed in with it.. Just pack your documents in a My clear bag or brown envelope, you would be given a bag to pack it there. The only documents you wont photocopy are the Visa forms, Bank statements, Invoice, Passport photographs and any document directly addressed to the BHC or BDHC.For All other documents, one photocopy of each is required.
At the end of the whole process you would be given a computer generated reference number that you can use to track your application online. Also it would be used to collect your International passport back when it is ready.

Cheers to all

Thanks for the info... someone just told me 21 working days now too "word of mouth ooooooo". I still keep wondering why they require the CAS tho. sad Now waiting for your testimony grin

Yes you can. Your CAS would be issued showing the 1k payment you've made. Any other payment would be updated on your CAS within 3 working days of receipt of payment and would be updated with the embassy too. Your CAS number won't change. Just payment details would be updated.

Because I've funds already counting close to 28 days but I just some cash transferred in increasing the bank balance. Does the new balance need to stay another 28 days or the old balance already getting close 28 days stands. Please note that fund increased NOT reduced. Thank you.

Does the previous balance cover your maintenance fee plus your school fees balance?
