TravelRe: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered Part 7 by Joe6648:
Love this write up, I have said it before don't panick, be calm these mistakes are not as futile as we make it to be, I understand the Nigerian factor, but relax people, UKVI is way more lenient and understanding. There are formats to b followed, and they will follow it regardless, no b Nigeria way right na left, left na right. And please read with understanding, what favored Tobi might not favor Obi, just be honest with ur application, follow UKVI guidelines as pertaining ur application, and live the rest to Oluwa, go sleep. I made little mistakes but my visa no long commot, I did not share it here becos some people fit use pannick kill u. My g's relax we r all heading their, success to all applicants. Japayans! Awu....

Currently the UK runs a point based system for the issuance student visa. They consider your POF, your CAS and your English language and assign the appropriate points to them. Once you hit 70 points your visa is sure. The areas where you should be worried if you made a mistake on them are : your CAS number, your POF calculation (funds below the required amount) and your proof of English (IELTS or WAE)

If you are covered in this area, any other minor mistakes you make while filling the application form can be overlooked by them. However to put your mind at rest, you can write a correction letter to them and correct the error you made and scan and upload it along with your other documents when you are uploading your documents.

UKVI cannot deny your visa because you mis-spelt your name or your put a wrong house address or all these other reasons you guys cancel your applications for.

They know you can request for AR once they deny you on any reason that is not one of the PBS parameters and it will be overturned.

Personally my POF was only held in my accout for 19 days before I submitted and paid for visa and IHS before I realised that the funds has to be there for the full 28 days before online application submission, but I did not cancel my application. I waited for them to send NSF for proof of funds so I can print and resend to them but it didn’t come and my visa was approved.

Y I said is another journey is becos some university's will go on vacation on the process while some will act on it like ASAP, so it depends on ur university if they are fast with issuing CAS (let's say max a 3-5days or a week) then when u get ur CAS, u can just put in ur visa application like that day or the next. But if they take longer then u will be delayed further, which might affect ur resumption for sept.
Pay 4 biometrics and do it the next day? No baba, last I remember u pay that day and do it that day using FLEXI service. Let's say u apply online in Aug 21, u book biometrics online for sept 2, u will carry ur online booking (sept 2) and go to Abj TLS on Aug 22, 23, 24....any date u like, and request for FLEXI service, pay the 42k and do ur biometrics that day u go. Hope u garit now....success!
omis1:
My school demands for POF to issue CAS ,I also stay in Abuja though . Is there a way I can pay for biometrics and do it next day? Even if I have to pay more I don’t mind.
If u don’t mind can u explain d part where u said it’s another journey if my school demands POF to issue CAS pls ?
Thanks for d help bro
TravelRe: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered Part 7 by Joe6648: 8:22pm On Jul 14, 2022
Yes, Just carry the print out of ur booking and go to ABJ TLS tomorrow or any day u prefer and tell them you came for FLEXI service, they know what to do next, the guy at the door will write FLEXI on your booking and when you get inside u will be required to pay 42k with ur bank debit card, simple.
ignis:
Please, I booked Abuja TLS and got 26th July.
Can I do the flexi and get a closer date?
TravelRe: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered Part 7 by Joe6648: 7:58pm On Jul 14, 2022
Honestly it all depends on some factors, fact is, its a bit late we can agree on that 1, the bright side is if ur school don't require POF for CAS issuing then u will only b waiting for POF to mature to apply for visa but if they do (that's another journey). U will need to get all your documents ready so that once ur POF is ready you print the next day (adding 1 day to the POF making 29 days) and apply. Now biometrics date na night vigil and prayer point now o, so u will have to do flexi (42k) so that you can do it the next day after online application or if early enough that same day. I will suggest ABJ TLS (on point) but if cash no dey to travel then ready join the lagossians hussle. It is possible, just be ready on ur own side make oluwa handle the rest...POF, just run it like a normal account, make transactions and all.

thanks bro ,if I start net week Tuesday (19th),hope august 19th won’t be to late for a September offer holder ?and hope there won’t be an issue if the account am using is a new one ?

I was a sponsored student
So I submitted the company’s bank statements and I also submitted my own bank statement from a Microfinance bank.
They asked for my own bank statements again after I had submitted so I wrote a letter to them that I wasn’t even supposed to submit mine in the first place since I’m a sponsored student so they should treat my case as a sponsored student case that I’m not resending my bank statements but I’ve attached my letter of sponsorship for them to verify

eniola1010:
Thanks so much. I have done that. So i'll just go to their office and pay for walkin.

Moreso, i wanted to ask.
Asides these documents, (pof, tb, cas, bsc, passport bio page) what else is necessary and compulsory.

Is transcript really important since my bsc is already there?
Is birth cert really important, since my dob is on my passport?
Is cv really important? Because i've been self employed.
Is work reference important? I dont have a 5year gap. I just have 3year gap.
Although i have these supporting documents. But is it really necessary i upload them?

Furthermore, a friend of mind said somthing about summary page. That it is compulsory we upload the summary page, however, since people have been saying their success story on thread, none of them ever spoke about any summary page on the list of item they uploaded.
TravelRe: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered Part 7 by Joe6648: 6:31pm On Jun 29, 2022
U can submit reference letter from the bank of your pof, just stating that the money has been their for 28days or more on their letter head & signed.
