House,

what's the way out to the inflated oanda rates prior to submission?

I started my 28 day count in july when the rates were about 410naira to a pound, now its about 470.

Shall I proceed with submission with the rates I started with? Please advise.

ajoke007:

hitunes:
Hello guys,
I want to know if form A make use of the cbn exchange rate which is $305.60 or 375 which is the black market rate. My bank told me they will use $375 which am kind of confused about.

Thanks

Hello everyone hope we all had a nice day. Please I have a question. My husband and child applied for a visit visa since June 14th to attend my graduation in UK which has passed until now no notification from UKVI. Now we want to withdraw the application because we need the passports for other important things but don't know how to go about it. Have tried contacting the home office of which they requested their information for it to be escalated yet nothing. Does anyone know the fastest way one can withdraw applications and have the passports returned immediately without calling or sending emails to home office? Because I have done all that and it yielded no result.

I paid for Priority Access, Submitted my application at the centre in Abuja on 3rd August, it was sent to sheffield that same day but, decision is yet to be made. So what i think is paying for Priority Access means that your application will be pushed to the front from the centre however, (Correct me if I am wrong) I dont think the Officers in Sheffield will leave other applications to attend to yours. Premium Access might be different tho. Also Remember that this is Summer, so many people are travelling

jc2xl:
I like your confidence. I would not comment on any post in a forum I am barely a month in. Many of us have been very silent in this group but I think It is high time we told our people the hard truth.

jc2xl:
While some folks are seriously regretting coming to study in the UK, others are praying and fasting to come here. This life!

Question2:
Mine changed in less than one week after submission. I don't think this means much. I applied online on 31st July, I paid for the visa on 1st August and did my interview and submission on the 2nd August. My application was received by UKVI on 4th August but no decision mail yet. It's now 7 working days.

Question1:
So going by this how will the Visa officer know when I started my 28days?

Question1:
I need £9,135. That's 4.3m at today's rate.

Question1:
Hello guys,

Someone should please clarify this for me as I don't want to make any error. I have printed my bank Statement, have had several deposits in my account which eventually totaled 6 million as at 12 July, however I stated my 28 days on the following day 13 July and I printed my statement today, 10 August 2017.

Now, my statement shows.. Statement Period: 12-July-2017 to 10-August 2017. It also shows an opening balance of 3,054,000 and a closing balance of 6,054,129.... Is that reasonable?

Also, GT bank staff told me they don't issue a cover/reference letter for a saving account holder, so they didn't give me.

Hello house, I finally just got a mail from my school stating the amount I need to leave in my account for 28 days after which i'm to print the account statement and send the account statement so that my CAS number can be sent to me to use for the tier 4 visa application.

But, my question is I will be making the deposit £15700 on friday 11/08/17 into my acct and the school's resumption date is 18/09/17. Can I meet up witg standard visa application or I better go for priority visa?

Also I heard students can still resume 2 weeks after normal resumption date?

Thanks.. please I need urgent response. God bless you

udemski:
Please, I want to ask if it's advisable to apply with 2 account to show as prove of maintenance fund. Reason is because, she paid complete 1st year tuition fee and now put in money for maintenance fund account @ 450 even when the oanda rate was @ 402 but now oanda rate is @ 473 she now need 300,000 which she have in another bank for more than 4 month. Now can she submit 2 account statement from 1st bank and Skye Bank all bearing her name. Or is there any place in the UK tier 4 visa tier Procedure

Chikejustin2255:
Hello,
I applied for a six months student visa to the Uk in April and I was denied on the basis of my personal economic status. My dad don't have the money to sponsor me so My uncle was my sponsor and he is boyant and has paid the full fee to the school. My application was OK but they judged me based on my personal circumstance, that they are not sure I will return or finance my stay without a third party.I only emitted my uncles statement of account and my dad's concent letter together with other documents.

Now I want to reapply and this time around I want to emit my uncles statement again since he was d one that paid my tuition fee and also my personal account because my uncle paid in 3million as my maintenance fee which am to leave in my account for 28days but he told my dad to write in his consent letter that he (my dad) paid in the money to support me. Also my dad has a company which he made me one of his directors when I was still in sec school. He want to submit that to show my ties to my country.
Please my question is can I get the visa this way?

samakinfol:
I will really need to clarify something, is it the rate on the day you day you started counting the 28days that will be used or the rate on the day you printed your bank statement on Oanda?

Nchabuomo:
Hi Fam,
Can one run a tb test like a week prior to submitting an application, if he is in want of time?

Good day all, I just joined this platform and this is my first post.Firstly let me thank you all for the very information and helpful posts I have read so far. Thanks for sharing.

Question 1, Which visa should I apply for? I will be travelling to the US next month with Virgin Atlantic. I will stop over at Heathrow for 3 hours when going and 15 hours when returning back. I have made all checks and certain that I do not need a transit visa. Now I would like to apply for a UK visa 6 months Standard Visitor or 48 hour transit visa to enable me stop in London for a few days instead of waiting at the Airport for 15 hours (My ticket is amendable).

Question 2 Am I eligible to use the Priority Visa Service (since my travel date is the 15th of August)? My last UK visa was a 2 year family visitor visa in 2012 which was denied initially and later granted when I appealed the decision. I saw the below information on the TLS website.
My visit visa was approved in 2days (used priority service) even after 2 visa refusals in the past. so you are good to go with the priority visa service

Customers who fall into the following categories are advised not use the Priority Visa Service :You should be aware that you may experience extended processing times if any of the following factors apply, if you have:

• previously been refused a visa for the UK, and/or;


Please advise accordingly. Thank you.

ajoke007:
Hello everyone.thanks for all the informative posts. I want to ask if
1. The value added service - **NEW** Application and Document Checks £ 30 per Applicant is worth it.
Not required if you are already on this platform
2. is it compulsory the statement is dated for exactly one month
28 days and above
3. The statement i have is in my parents company name but there is an attached letter from the bank saying they are both signatories. Will that be an issue
Yes it is an issue because statement should only be in your name, your parents or legal guardian (with necessary documents to back it)
4. I got the statement a month ago because i intended to apply earlier but couldn't due to some issues with thr sch. Is it outdated?
[b]Yes please, print an updated one, your printed statement cannot be used after 30days from date of initial print
my interview is on friday so there is little i can do and i only came across this forum tonight but i want to be prepared just in case.

I really appreciate all the efforts going into this forum. God bless.
