Since your CAS is not out. I’d advice you pay extra £500 - £1000 in addition to your deposit.
You can use your schools card payment portal and use a uk card to update payment.

Send the notification to your school and your CAS would be updated.
That way the required amount to show in POF would reduce to match what you currently have.

It won’t help cause he would pay the £500/1000 at black market rate. Oanda rate used for POF is way lower than black market rate.

timestwo:
In my case my opening balance will be lower that what's needed but closing balance will suffice. May God will help me with this inflation and just drop it a little bit.

You added 1.5m to what you needed as POF right, and now due to fluctuations in rate, you’re just 50k ahead. I don’t see the issue. Just add some cash to what you have and print.

Elolam87:
Okay, Pls,Do they make decision on opening or closing balance of the bank statement?

Your opening/closing balance should have the exact funds you need when converted to GBP.

timestwo:
Would I need to print a different statement of account from the one I used for CAS last week?
I hope that won't mean breaking the "holding cash for 28 days rule”

Thanks for reasoning this issue with me.

Yes you can print another statement.

timestwo:
My POF is still about 50k ahead of the inflation closing in. But I am just about to get my CAS and will likely submit my application next week.
I started counting my POF in the first week of October.

Since its still a bit above the current rate, add a bit of cash(100/150k),just incase.

@dduchess90 @justwise @gloriyah

When I did my POF, i added 1.5M for inflation and when I printed for CAS it was still within range.

Now I'm about to apply for Visa but the inflation has swallowed the extra 1.5M i added Please what do you suggest that i do?

I need expert opinions, and suggestions please.

Hmmm. The rate at the time you submit your application is what the ECO will use in calculating your POF. How much is needed to balance up

Duchess and other Gurus in the house please help me answer this;

TB cert. expires 19th January. Will this be a problem at the visa stage for someone applying for January intake 2023?
Note: effort have been made to get a new one from IOM, but they said it can only be done from 2weeks to expiration.

The TB certificate should be valid at the time of application, that’s all. Just apply before it expires.

Omonas035:


The visa category is student visa. The account holding my POF (complete) is a busy one. I transact on it all the time.

Since I also use it to receive money which can be up to 1m at one deposit, could it be considered as lump sum? Remember my POF is complete and it is not adding to my POF.

AND if the said amount is considered as lump sum, would I need to write a cover letter explaining what's it's meant for?

No, it’s not. It’s your account, use as normal.

meljoe:
Can I use dollar card from someone who’s based in America , like someone based there will pay , to pay for ihs, visa fee & priority ?

Debawen:
Hello everyone,

I relocated to the UK over a year ago and the travel processes was done by a travel company in Nigeria. We were eligible for IHS refund, so i informed the designated agent assigned to us when we did out travel arrangment in Nigeria to inform her that i will be applying for the refund, she told me to provide proof once i have applied because the Uk gov will only refund the IHS to originating account that IHS is paid from which happens to be from the MD and his wife account. The refund has been approved and credited into their various account since september this year and the company is not having a turn around saying they do not process refund and do not involve themselves with IHS refund. All i want is for my IHS refund to be paid to me by the travel company since it has been credited into their account.

Please i need help or advice to go about getting my IHS refund from this people. The company have decided to stop responding to our emails claiming our file has been closed. I have all the evidence including transaction details.

Thank you for you help.

Did the company confirm that they got a refund??

Hello house pls does UK require IELTS cos my schoool is demanding for it...wud they also demand it for the Visa application ..! And pls it's only Duolingo I have ..can I present it.

If your school requires it, you will need it for visa application.

Refer to your school’s English requirement to check if duolingo is accepted.

phlakkeys:


Wowwww, congratulations.
I am just starting the processing from scratch i.e passport and graduate school application. Also, I am a family of four.
Please can you give an estimate of the cost/POF used for the whole four altogether? Thank you.

Calculation of POF:
Balance of tuition after deposit ?
main applicant’s living cost for 9months is 9207
Each Dependants living cost for 9months is 6120

Just your living cost excluding your tuition balance is 9207 + 6120*3= £27,567

Using 550/£, your living cost is approximately 15.2m

This calculation is for schools outside London.

koonleh:
Pls why is it saying I do not have dependent and I have dependant on my form.. I do not want to click details are correct

Click on it. Your dependant’s application link is different.

@dduchess90, Gloriyah

Please I need clarification on something, I have my CAS with me already but my POF hasn't matured, I had started the application process, I would love to know if I can proceed to make payment for Visa and IHS without submitting the application. What I really want to know is if payment of IHS and VISA FEE is that last act of the application process and if I can make these payments before hand and only await my POF to make final submission. This way I would have had enough time to deal with any difficulties regarding payment before hand.

Thanks in anticipation for your response.

The application doesn’t take time to complete, just patiently wait for your POF to mature before you proceed to make IHS and visa fee payment.

zanebaddo:
I have one addressed to one of the schools I applied to but none to the school I eventually gained admission into as they didn't request for it. So what am I going to do in that instance?

Get another reference.

vicnoshon:
Please are there consequences if tuition deposit is paid after deadline?

They might ask you to defer.

zanebaddo:


Must the reference letter for the employment evidence be directed or addressed to the UKVI or just any reference letter that has been written before?

If it was addressed to your school or ‘to whom it may concern’, you can use it.

Jacobesther123:


Ha I did not write consent letter for my dependant to use my account,he has done his biometrics over a week now,we have not heard anything from UKVI
