@ Justwise, Mimilyrics, Laajiblik and all the gurus in the house.

Words cannot express how grateful I am for answering all my questions and guiding me through my visa process... Thank you so much for what you are doing in this forum.

My dependant visa was successful. Thanks a lot guys

@Mimilyrics, Justice

I am trying to register on TLS. I can't find tier 4 dependant visa in the visa type options on TLS, should I choose Tier 4 which is the closest visa type to tier 4 dependant?


Sorry for the troubles and thank you for the help so far.

@ Justwise, Mimilyrics

I am trying to apply for my dependant visa. I tried using the visa4uk site but I couldn't get past the select visa subtype step, no option was displayed for selection.

Now I'm using the gov.uk site and I'm stuck on the question "how many times have you been to the UK in the past 10 years"

I've entered UK twice but with the same entry clearance (I visited Nigeria during my studies and went back to UK). I don't know if I should answer once or twice as I used the same entry clearance.

Thank you Justwise

justwise:




No you have nothing to worry about as long as you have the complete amount before the payment

Thank youJustwise.

One last question. I printed my bank statement today. The statement period is from 12th sep - 10th october, but the last transaction on the statement is 9th October. Is this okay, cos Im using gtb bank.

I paid in some money before I printed but this didn't reflect in the bank statement. The bank official said transactions reflect in bank statements after 24 hours. Hope ukvi won't use the last transaction date (that's 9th) as my last day of 28 days count?

justwise:


That is not a problem

Thanks a lot justwise.

Must the two accounts have the same 28 days transaction and be printed on same day? I mean, can the 28 days of one statement be from 12th sept - 10th october, then the other, 13th September - 11th october?

I am quite confused with this 28 days rule, since I'm using two bank statements

justwise:


Sure you can as long as both accounts clocked 28days

Thanks a lot Kaad

Hi Joyeeeee.!
1.yes hard copy of pictures on A4 sized paper, you can print multiple pictures on a page (coloured)
2. Your whatsApp chat can be printed through your email on A4 paper.

Hello Mimi, Thank you for all your efforts at answering questions on this forum. I really appreciate.

I would love to ask a few question regarding the dependant visa,

1. For the wedding and family photos, should it be hard copies (like normal picture albums) and is 10-15 okay?

2. For the emails and watsaap chat, should it be just chat/email logs or should I print the chats/emails themselves. Also, assuming I have like watsapp chats for 9months, do I print screenshots of the 9 months chats and paste in a single ms document or just print the screenshot in different documents (this will make me have too many documents to submit)

3. Is it neccesary to submit utility bills showing we have been living together? As I and my husband stay in his official residence that came with his appointment, we don't pay bills, the company pays all the bills so the bills are in the companies name. If utility bills are necessary, can I submit the companies utility bills and explain this in my cover letter?

I am applying separately from my husband, he's already in UK

mimilyrics:
Documents missing from your list:

- Copy of the Tier 4 student’s current visa/BRP (front and back), (if applying separately).
- Letter from the university confirming Tier 4 student is currently enrolled, (if applying separately).
- Marriage certificate showing evidence of marriage where the dependant is a spouse (you do not need to submit this if applying for an extension of an existing Tier 4 dependant visa within the UK).
- Evidence of continuing relationship with your partner if you have lived apart for some time (if applying separately). You can evidence this via emails, phone/skype logs, plane tickets from visiting one another, family photos, covering letter laying out your position etc. (This is applicable if the main tier 4 applicant has gotten his/her Visa and gone to the UK without you, his dependent).

2. Your wedding invitation isn't required. Submit your wedding certificate instead.

@Cc justwise,olowo B,mimilirics

Can I use 28 days bank statements from 2 bank accounts; my personal bank account and a joint account (I and my husband) to show proof for maintenance fee for tier 4 dependant visa?

Okay, can you please send me the email address he sent emails to?

kaad:

No, sent E-mails

Did he call ukvi?

kaad:
Thank you mimi and every other contributor.
My son's NHS fee has been refunded after 5 working days

Hello Olumzy1993, please I sent you a pm. I would like to ask you a few questions regarding the dependant visa. I would appreciate if you reply my pm. Thanks you.

olumzy1993:

Please am i on d right track for her?
I just got my own TIER 4 VISA

Hello olumzy1993,

Is your wife going ahead with the application?

olumzy1993:


Actually.... The problem is that i dont have the funds anymore...
Should she apply or she should not?

I am also confused about this. My friends who applied and got didn't include their spouse statements. But the guideline says otherwise....Can anyone help with this?

Airfrance can be very annoying. They cancelled my flight and resheduled it after for 4 days. Made me almost overstay in the UK.

mimilyrics:
That's cool. I hope that they do not go on strike again before your flight. Hopefully, they will wait for the new CEO to resume and hold talks to straighten their ruffled feathers.

Sterling bank mastercard

Carlse:


Please what bank and card did you use for your payment? My access bank MasterCard keeps declining.

I studied in GCU Glasgow. My brother will be studying there too this september

Ekitibiased:
Anyone in GCU London (or city university) or planning towards it next year, pls I need info before getting there. Thanks in advance

No, I had to make a fresh application and paid another IHS fee. I requested for refund of the previous one

Carlse:


Hello Joyeeeee, have you received your IHS reference number please?

Thank you so much mimilyrics. I am really grateful

mimilyrics:
It doesn't matter. Tier 4 applications don't require source of funds as long as the required funds are in your account for 28 days (I suggest that you download the most recent revision of T4 guidelines and read through). Work with UKVI T4 guidelines and you're good. If you include a sponsorship letter, it might work against him because the UKVI might end up missing the bank statement on the basis that the company sponsoring is a local company (if he includes a sponsorship letter). The UKVI is sometimes capable of missing info on an application when there are conflicting documents.
The school probably just wants to confirm if the money was truly given by his company and will be available for his studies as a risk assessment to safeguard their student sponsorship ties with UKVI.
As long as he didn't lie or get a ban in his previous application and as long as he submits all the necessary documents including a 28-day bank statement that shows the money in his account without a dip below what's required during the period, he's good to go.

He has already submitted his application to which he didn't include the sponsorship details. Is it okay to write a cover letter explaining his sponsorship details?

the3a:


It may be worth it having these documents on hand and including the sponsorship details in the additional information section of the application form. If he has to take an extended interview, he will certainly be asked about his financial circumstances. If the school advises it, considering their experience with international applications, I think he should take that advice.

Thanks alot Mimilyrics.

He had a UK visit visa refusal late last year because he did not submit his bank statement together with his application. He was going for a business meeting as a representative of his company and he submitted the bank statement of his employer who was sponsoring his visit. He had declared his salary (120k) but omitted his bank statement. He is thinks he needs to account for his source of funds and is afraid whether this would have an effect on his Tier 4 visa

mimilyrics:
According to the T4 guidelines, you don't need to show the source of funds in your personal bank account as long as what is there is enough for his tuition and maintenance. All you need to show the UKVI is that the funds required have been in the account for 28 days counting from the day the opening balance reflects the requires funds.
To the school, he can get a letter from his company but he won't be needing it for UKVI: let him just print from the day after the money hit his account because that is the day 1 of the 28 day count.

Yes, the school asked him. The reason is that he started counting his 28 days from the day his employer transfered his tuition and maintenance to his bank account so his statement showed the huge sum of money his employer transfered to his account. They questioned his source of fund

RalphJean:




Disclaimer: I am NOT a guru on these things.


My response:
Was it he school that asked your brother the question about who was sponsoring him?

He did not volunteer to tell them, the school asked him because he printed his bank statement which showed the huge amount of money transfered to his account by his employer

LaaJiblik:




1. Your brother was expected to have read the guidelines as pertains to sponsorship.
2. Since the company has transferred the money to your brother’s account. He has allowed the money to ‘sit’ in the account for 28-plus days, in HIS own account.
Why then was it necessary for him to mention that he was being sponsored by a company? What good does that information add to his application?

3. Let me ask you a question, in order to fully understand.
Was it the school that asked your brother about the source of the huge money deposit? Or your brother on his own was the one that “volunteered” the information to the school about the source of the huge money, vis-a-via sponsorship?

Hello Mimilyrics and other gurus in the house,

My brothers is being sponsored for his masters programme by his employer (a local company) here in Nigeria. He submitted a bank statement (to his school) showing a huge sum (his tuition and maintenance) transfered to him by his employer and was asked by the school to send in a confirmation letter from his company to prove they made the transaction.

Now, he has gotten his CAS, but the school instructed him to submit his employer sponsor letter, his appointment letter and had leave letter during his visa interview.

I will like to find out if these are really necessary as he already has his 28 days bank statement and the money is availaiable for him for his studies. I feel like all these will delay his visa processing because the said company is not an international company.

Hello Mimilyrics and other gurus,

How do I withdraw an already submitted tier 4 visa. I used visa4uk to apply for it.

[quote author=mimilyrics post=70559243]Have you checked your spam mail?

There's a time limit to paying your visa fee. Hope it hasn't elapsed?

I have checked the spam email and I think the time limit has elapsed

Hello mimilyrics and other gurus in the house.

I paid for my IHS fee few hours ago and I'm yet to receive a payment confirmation and my IHS reference number in my email. Now I'm scared to pay the visa fee. Anyone experiencing this issue or have an idea if what I should do?

[Hello Justwise, mimilyrics and other gurus in the house] Please help me out with this.

I would be applying for my tier 4 dependent visa, seperately from my husband as he has already gotten his tier 4 visa. I have my maintenance fee in my own bank account but I will like to find out if I need to submit my husbands bank statement too during my interview day.[/quote]

Good evening everyone, please I have a quick question.

I would be applying for my tier 4 dependent visa, seperately from my husband as he has already gotten his tier 4 visa. I have my maintenance fee in my own bank account but I will like to find out if I need to submit my husbands bank statement too during my interview day.
