Which one is self assessment form again for interview. Is it necessary

Bane001:
Guys,

If someone's previous (expired) passport is now lost, will the person have to include a police report in a subsequent application for a tier 4 visa?

Note: the person now has a new valid passport.

Help needed!

Thank you

For those that have collected their passports and anybody who knows the answer to this question. what is the original photographic ID TLS requested I should come with so as to collect my passport. I thought I only have to go with that checklist they gave me on the day of appointment, thanks

Hi guys,
Question: Tier 4 general and dependent can apply on the same day/together?
I'm applying for Msc, from outside U.K and planning to submit my application to vfs in October, say Oct 15th. Can my spouse too apply on the same date?
I have been hearing that dependent can only apply when the tier 4 general applicant has arrive to the U.K.
Please can someone help to clear my confusion?

Many thanks in advance!!

Got to immigration at Birmingham where there was a long queue when it was my turn I went to the border control officer who only asked for my cas and passport.
He then asked the name of my school and the course I'll be studying..... He didn't ask for ihs receipt and tuberculosis test result. No questions about accommodation, bank statements, and all other questions they normally ask.

My flight was Qatar airline. I wanted to buy a return ticket but the 18% increase in air fares made me do one way at the cost of $811 on Friday....... I left lagos 11:25 am yesterday got to Qatar 11 35 PM where we had a 2 hour stopover. My connecting flight took off at 1:30AM and I got to Birmingham 7am.

I travelled with £740 pounds in cash and two natwest bank cheques of £4200 (£2,200 and £2000) I also travelled with my gtb mastercard

Iamtomilade:
So guys I got to UK (Birmingham) via Qatar Airways 7am this morning...... I will be giving you guys some info about my trip and all.

MissKayD:
Thanks.
On the pages you mentioned, I wrote the maintenance required which is £9135. Whereas, my account balance is actually more than that. Am I meant to write my account balance there or the required maintenance funds?

Please help clarify.

Iamtomilade:
I'd be posting tier 4 frequently asked interview sample questions for those that are yet to go for their interviews.

MissKayD:
Hi guys,

Please where on the application am I to write my account balance in pounds before submitting?

Thanks

bunmikay:
same timeline,still waiting. Pls what's the number to call?

knicks231:
I HAVE MAILED AND CALLED THEM.

jayken07:
Congrats oh..we are all happy for you and tap into your good news

Iamtomilade:
1. Check your cas...you'd find "latest date a student can be accepted on to the course" it should be under course start and end date.....meanwhile you should get a letter from your school saying you were given an extension and so you can apply for a visa even though your course started September 5.

2.there is no need to include anything like that....just get a letter from your dad stating you are his son and the funds in his account will be available to you for your studies in the UK (Letter of financial support) you can also add his birth certificate or international passport data page if he has one. Or any form of document to show that he's indeed your father.

donbreeezy:
I hail everyone in the house... @justwise well done sir!
Please I need clarification on these;

1. I just received my CAS yesterday and the course start date is September 5th which was about 3days ago. Have you ever seen or heard of such? I want to apply for priority visa today, will this date affect my visa outcome??

2. I was also advised before the CAS issuance to include a letter that indicates the origin of the funds in my father's account and that the fund is his when applying for visa. I hope this is not strange..

I'll appreciate your responses

You should contact UKVI to find out how to cancel your application. Cos you can only get your application fee refunded if your application hasn’t been processed yet.

opeobats:
Hello I need your advice. I applied for a visiting visa on the 25th of August and it has been receieved for review by an ECO. Just found out this evening that I was awarded the ptdf scholarship. My dilemma is what do I do now? Would I have to withdraw my current ongoing application and re-apply for a student visa?

Please how long would it take for me to get back my passport if I have to withdraw my application?

Thanks.
