Please has anyone applied for Form A with any commercial bank to pay school fees since the CBN trade portal e-form A was introduced? I’ve been trying since 2 weeks now and the bank keeps saying the Application number generated is invalid/null and I should contact the Trade System to complain. Did anyone experience this? What’s the way forward really?

Avoid it like a plague. They’ve been refusing a lot of people with MFB statement since July with the reason that they were unable to contact the banks...I think this is a deliberate act as they think many people who use MFBs for statements borrow this funds...So by all means avoid it!!! Use a regular commercial Bank.

Good morning, please I need explanation. Can microfinance bank statement of account be used as a proof of fund?
Travel / Re: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered Part 6 by Ella15: 8:59am On Oct 27, 2021
Did you use any MFB or Finance House for POF? I know that’s what usually causes unnecessary delays....If you used only regular commercial banks, then you should be fine. Just be a little more patient.

Yes, I used one in July for my application and it got REFUSED...I’m still crying till today. The visa was delayed for 2months and eventually refused.
No reason am.

Please house! Urgent and Factual response!

Has anyone used bank statement from a mortgage bank for POF?

Thanks!

No, No, No. If she’s the student and main applicant, the POF must be in her account or her parents account; it can’t be in yours even if you’re her spouse. Take note and avoid her getting a visa refusal!! Read up on page one of this thread.

Thank you very much for the response

Who else did biometrics at Ikeja TLS today and on the 20th of October and didn't get a response from TLS about their application submission?
Travel / Re: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered Part 6 by Ella15: 8:01am On Oct 22, 2021
I sympathize with you on this. But whatever you do, consider other possible options asides Administrative review coz it now takes up to 6months to get a decision.

Menab:
nairalanders, I have been down and crying since morning as my little sister whom I am a legal guardian to got her visa refused. The little girl is down. When I got a no straight forward email for her, I thought she will later get the visa and hence travel with my son so as to meet up with school deadline.. this morning I got a refusal letter for her. please help advise if you can, should I do administrative review? if yes, what are the steps. Already called my lawyer as asked why the legal papers couldn't be verified? as far as I know, everything is genuine, had several court sittings before guardianship was given. please advise as I am loosing it.. Also since I have traveled, how do I proceed with the AR in respect of taking her passport back if they eventually grant the visa? my whole world is crashing. please find attached reasons for refusal.
reason I didn't mention her in my previous applications were because I hadn't applied for legal guardianship for her. a big mistake I made���

Hello @justwise @scobby and all other gurus in the house.
I had my biometrics today and discovered I had made a mistake in the statement of account I uploaded. I’ve seen scared since then.
I printed 2 statements of accounts, say from September 19 to October 19 2021 and another one from September 10 to October19 2021. I did this because one had more volume of transactions than the other and I was later going to choose which one to upload and submit with my application.
I however later discovered that I scanned, uploaded and submitted a complete page of one of the statements and an extra page of the other statement that I didn’t need to use anymore.
Should I be scared? I hope this won’t be seen as trying to doctor the statement bcoz it’s a genuine mistake I made while scanning.
What do you advise I do coz I can’t sleep well or think straight oo.
Travel / Re: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered Part 6 by Ella15: 7:17am On Oct 20, 2021
Please don’t use a microfinance bank for your POF. Your application will be delayed and eventually refused. I know of 4 people that this happened to between July till date. Don’t waste your time and money.

Please for those whose visa application was refused and didn’t seek an Administrative Review (AR) but made a fresh application instead, HOW LONG DID IT TAKE FOR YOUR IHS FEES TO BE REFUNDED?.
Please I need responses from those who have been through this and not just what’s on UKVI website, coz we all know they’ve been falling short of their timelines lately. Thank you

Please has anyone applied for an Administrative Review in the past few weeks/months and gotten a swift response within the UKVI 28days service standard period?
I applied for one guided by my University’s Student Advice Team and the staff that helped with the application said he’s gotten replies with 20days of submission. I don’t know how true this is because I’m seeing & hearing different scary stories about this. I just want to know what my chances are right now.
Travel / Re: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered Part 6 by Ella15: 8:43am On Sep 07, 2021
As an alternative to an Administrative Review, I’m thinking of the possibility of paying CAS for a more affordable school I got admission into (Hull) and processing a new visa application.
But I don’t know if UKVI will raise questions as to why I changed school. I also don’t know how soon they’ll refund my IHS fees, coz it’s quite a lot.

Your bank screwed up your application

Yeah, they didn’t respond. My parents mortgage bank savings account statement.

This is strange, is it the bank that did not reply or what? which financial institution did you use?
Travel / Re: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered Part 6 by Ella15: 4:56am On Sep 07, 2021
I was refused because they contacted my Dads bank severally and the bank didn’t respond to their emails or calls to confirm the account statement. I’ve forwarded the refusal to the bank and I’m ready to deal with them squarely for this incompetence that has caused me so much.


justwise:


You apply for AR to argue against the reason(s) for the refusal, that is what you should focus on and NOT if they contacted the bank or not.

If they refused you because of fake bank statement then you can appeal that decision if you believed 100% that the bank statement is genuine

Pls who has applied for an administrative review here on the grounds of UKVI being unable to contact your financial institution for POF confirmation?

Can I apply for the review myself? Or do I require the services of a lawyer? How long would it take?

Any advice?

Please, how does this paid call thing work. I’ve tried severally, no hope. When I get to the point where it asks me to enter my card number and then press star, I do exactly that but it keeps repeating that I do the same thing over and over till the line cuts.

Is this how it works for everyone? Since 2weeks now, same thing.

Please I got my CAS yesterday from Sheffield Hallam but I noticed that my Bsc certificate had 2020/1 academic year as my year of graduation instead of the correct date of 2015/16. Aside this, every other information in the CAS is correct.

We’re in the same shoes dear. My husband & I had our biometrics on the 28th July at Ikeja TLS. Today makes it the 17th working day...no response yet & I haven’t been able to make a paid call because I don’t have a dollar card yet. So frustrating!




Bukunmi93:
My husband and I submitted our application on the 29th of July (Standard), till Yesterday we didn't hear anything, Yesterday was the 15th working day or 16th sef if we can count biometrics day as part of it. We called them this midnight and the call Operator said decision was made Yesterday. I am curious, why did it take a full 15/16 days to make decision for a standard application when we didn't even receive a non-straightforward mail. It is so frustrating. I'm also really worried, has anyone experienced this before?
