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.

dappy daniel: Hiya, Collected my Visa today.

Congrats ...Lot of good news this week... Cheers

Justwise deserves special mention, A-Zed also who shared the same WAEC cert error predicament with me, Honey86, Names that came along later: DonXavier, Dharkchild, and many others...

Am i missing anything?

Thanks.

oanda conversion print out, a print out of your CAS statement. That's all I can remember for now.

ikcbn: Plz hw does ϑaτ̅ one relate 2 us?

That's used in calculating the conversion rate for your visa application fees. Its actually £289 for the application fees.

holloziggi: Pls do I have 2 pay 4 accomodation b4 I apply 4 a visa,or d money should b in my account its urgent

No u dont have to pay, preferably in your account. but if u must pay, do not pay more than 1000pounds as the remaining must be in your account. P.S wrong thread, for similar questions use the thread below https://www.nairaland.com/826936/uk-student-visa-tier-4 cheers mate.

honey86: I will be leaving on the 10th. Though I've not booked my ticket. But its going to be between qatar, air France and klm.

kunlewoye: Me! Me!! Me!!! I'm actually thinking between 7th and 14th, depending on the flight booking. Looking for the best deals, mate.

Hope to leave within same time window too... Hopefully Visa should be out next week. And pls kindly update us about best ticket deals. Plenty Thanks

salsera: Wow,

Seems I'm the only one leaving early. Going next week. Cos the ECO kindly dated my visa from early July (
Start date isn't till late Sept

Sorry can't put any more details here, toooo many ppl know me through NL. Lol

For those of you asking about airlines try KLM. Cheap tickets started yesterday and u should book online asap. They go fast
The transit in amsterdam is short barely 2hrs and I assure you will enjoy the flight.

Thanks for the info. pls who its going to Manchester between 10th and 17th?

penfold: 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"

kunlewoye: Hi all, I submitted on the 19th of July and I've just received the text to come for collection o!.... .. Pray for me...

At the point where prayer changes noting...loll..., anticipating your testimony.

penfold: Sheffield Hallam University,MSc Forensic Sciences
@Dharkchild,I beg which airline flies Lagos to Manchester?

Almost all, but they are connecting flights. you would have stop overs

University of Sheffield. MBA

honey86: I will advise that we take time to read through part 1 and 2 or atleast the part 2 of this thread (tht was what I did) before asking questions. Most of the questions being asked had been adequately answered on previous pages. I salute guys for the patience .

Well said.

p@mystery:
hi all,

I got my student visa, but i want to ask a question..All the photocopies of the documents i made were sent back to me (B.Sc. Certificate, affidavit and police report for loss of intl. passport and my international passport)i am wondering y. Any successful applicant with this same experience?

Congrats.... stop wondering and start packing

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. Now waiting for your testimony

globi: @justwise pls sir forr the reapplicaation,the mooney is in my account but do I need to add my father propertzy doocuments to show am still capable irrespective of the fact tha I av up to 7200 pounds in my accouunt.also pls can I state in the application form that I had allready paid 4 accomoodation which is reflected in my cas that's why 7200pounds was shortfall and the reason for the refusaal

You don't need to add any property document, the complete money in your account is enough evidence.

Yeah you can go ahead and state the reason

maninmood: House, please do come to my rescue. I am kind of tensed up because I must submit my tier-4 visa application tomorrow.

Do I really need to include my marriage certificate since I ticked married. NB: I am the one sponsoring myself and my family is not going with me to the UK. Do I need to add my marriage certificate or not?

...justwise pls help...

ikcbn: Tanx bro, hope i can also pay my £1k nw so ϑε̲γ̲ can start my CAS cos d̶̲̥̅̊ money i want 2 use 2 pay 4 all my tuition will b ready on d̶̲̥̅̊ 13/08/2012, meanwhile i was given a deadline of 12/08/2012 to make d̶̲̥̅̊ initial £1k so i don't lose d̶̲̥̅̊ offer. If this would b d̶̲̥̅̊ case, i suppose d̶̲̥̅̊ CAS would have bin issued b4 d̶̲̥̅̊ 13th ϑaτ̅ i shall make d̶̲̥̅̊ full payment and as such won't b reflected on it so hw do wud d̶̲̥̅̊ embassy knw ϑaτ̅ i have made ϑaτ̅ payment,hw do i prove it if i can make these payment as stated above.

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.

Bolster: Yes it covered the whole maintenance fund plus some change though minus the tuition fee which has been settled already.

You don't have a problem... U don't need to start counting again

Bolster: Justwise, I'll like to know if that 28 days requirement actually affect your current balance reducing or not. 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?
