Do you mean I should write 4 years, even if my financial sponsorship is for 3 years?
Yes, the financial requirements of a tier 4 visa does not say you should provide funding for the whole four years. I was in your shoe in sep, I put the date on my CAS on my application and got my visa. (NB: whatever on your CAS should tally with the info on your application because that is what the school will provide home office)

Hi guys, when filling the visa application form, what should I write for the duration of course? My concern is that my PhD is 3 years and financially sponsored for 3 years as stated in the letter, but the CAS has 4 years on it. How many years do you advice that I write? Also, I saw somewhere that I could just write 'the length of my course'. What do you think?
Use the date on your CAS. Good luck

Does a 3 month old child need to do a TB test for a UK visa?
No but you will pay certain amount of money for the baby for the TB certificate. The doctor will do an assessment of his/ her health status by physical observation and some question. (Do you think the baby has drop weight in last month, does he eat and sleep well and bla bla)

Yes, you will have to apply for a fresh visa as obviously your 2015 visa will not be able to take you through your study. The case you are referring to is if you didn't travel before your vignette expires. But this is a different case, so you need a new CAS from your school. Goodluck

My formal question has not been answered, however, here is another one.

My study is sponsored by an organization but not Commonwealth and the likes. I don't know which one out of these two options to pick.

A. Tier 4 general student
B. Tier 4 general sponsored student.

I understand that the appropriate one to choose is Tier 4 general sponsored student, but the informations I got from online search is misleading. Some stated emphatically that even if you have a sponsor like the one I got, you should pick Tier 4 general student. However, the reason for such statement was not stated.

I humbly request for your advice on this and hope there is no future implications on any choice I made.
Teejay,

As per your question on the address matter, I don't think that will have any effect. Your address can change any time and that is why you will be asked the date you have been staying in the address provided.

As per visa type, I am also on a scholarship and I choose T4 ( General) and I got my visa. The most important things are the certificates that used to assess u (usually stated on ur CAS), CAS itself,and proof of funding. Good luck dude

Hi guys, how do I determine the amount to be paid for my health insurance fee. My PhD program is 3 years but 4 years was stated on my CAS (1/1/2017 to 31/12/2020). The problem now is that when I checked online it shows £675 which is for 4 and half years. Is that the amount I should pay?
.

Just put the start and end date on your CAS in ur application, it is going to calculate the amount automatically. It should 918 USD though.

From experience na like 3 working days after that mail before courier returned your passport. So na Tuesday mostly likely oo. If you are in hurry you can call DHL customer care in Lagos(08039077000). They can arrange for a collection for you.

Hello everyone,

Please, does anyone have a valid information about the TB certificate. I have just return from UK for my MSc and applying again for my PhD. Considering the fact that I have not spent up to 6 month in Nigeria, do I need to do the TB test again. Please, responses from people that have had this experience is highly needed.

Thanks

Thanks @ olowoB and justwise

you guys are wonderful withloads of info on this visa thing. I get the details and hope that God guide me in my decision. If I have my way I wouldn't want to touch the money ooooo.

Otherwise, I might but with lots of prayer and fasting. lol, naija thinking

justwise:
You will only get away with that if the embassy did not call your bank to ask for the last transaction in that account.

I think it happened to somebody here 2yrs ago or so where the embassy asked the person to resubmit current bank statement unfortunately the person has withdrew some of the money then.

If you can avoid touching that money until your visa comes out AND the Ukba specifically stated that the money should be available to you in the UK, so its not just the 28days.

Like cuteemperor said its risky, but the choice is yours.

Good luck.

Thanks cuteempror,
I thought of that as well but a friend told me I can take part of the money because they will only verify the genuity of the bank statement but not the balance.

If I can hear from anyone that had done that and the visa was issued or denied, I would be more than happy because I want to pay for my IHS and application fee from the money.
Cheers
