I'm sponsoring myself and the CAS documents used for admission, highest qualification only, degree certificate. they only put the details of the certificate on the CAS.

If you are sponsoring urself and can support ur soure of income with things like. . .payslip and bank statement, to add to that, will be: ur degree certificate(IF that was the ONLY document u used in getting the admission), some pple do get study-leave letter from their company(If you are not resigning from ur job).

Go through the requirements again in their website to know if there is somthing missing.

Femtopsy:
scanty because am I'm submitting just two supporting documents.

Are u sponsoring urself? And how many documents did u send to the school when u applied for the course?

Femtopsy:
Thanks so much Justwise. I was feeling my application is too scanty or what do you think?

In what sense please?

Femtopsy:
Hello justwise and co, pls tell me if one can apply with just the CAS number without a CAS letter. As it is now the only supporting documents I have is my degree certificate which is the only document stated in the CAS, and my personal bank statement for my maintainance funds. Am I safe?

All u need is the CAS number, the school sent the BHC the same email u got from them, if u used only degree certificate to obtain the admission then thats what u need to submit to BHC plus the bank statement.

Ppel like you are encouraging corruption and still cry how corrupt Nigeria is, why were u afraid of being searched?

Nonsense! Are they above the law? What is wrong in searching them? Top criminals if u asked me.

faisville:
yea, Msc. safety & Environmental management

I have seen it in their website, they made it clear that every international student have to pay £3000 deposit b4 CAS will be issued.

So have a chat with them about 2wks extention or Jan admission.

persist:
Please I submitted my application last week and i was told to check back after 5 working days. Would I get a text message if it is ready or will I have to go there to check if it has been done since I was told 5 working days. I submitted last week Thursday. Thanks

Email or call them to find out.

faisville:
thanks man! so should i discuss with the school before or after paying the £3000? cos i planned on making the payment today

If i were you, i will hold on till Jan but use the time to search for a better school with a clearer admission policy.

Are u going for postgraduate course?

faisville:
Yeah, my mum said something like that, Edinburgh Napier University

Meeting up is going to be tight, u can only ask the school for 2wks extention after paying the £3000. Or wait for Jan admission but u have to discuse this with the school.

faisville:
Good morning All!
I have a problem.I applied for admission in June and the unconditional offer came out in late july.the program i applied for is suppose to start in the 1st week of september. i was advise to make payment of £3000 before they can send me my CAS letter.
i am suppose to pay the money today so that I can wait for my CAS letter for visa application.but the problem is that i cannot be able meet up with the 28 day rule,as relates to bank statement (just got the money today) since i am suppose to be in school by 1st week of september! and besides someone advised that it is already late, now do i stil go ahead and pay the £3000 and tell the school to push my admission to january? I am sooo confused right now.please visa gurus help!!

The highlighted part worries me, how can the school give you unconditional off AND asked you to pay £3000 b4 they can send the CAS?
Unconditional offer means no condition at all.

Please which school is that? If u don't mind me asking.

@justwise

thank you. one last question, have you come across anyone who was in a similar situation? been sponsored by someone who was not their parent.
just want to be sure it is a good idea to fill that portion of the from blank

To be perfectly honest with u. . . no i haven't BUT ur case is not a strange one cos u share the same family name with ur sponsor and u have documents to proof it. So you don't really have much to worry about.

[quote author=jade5268 link=topic=331618.msg6562976#msg6562976 date=1281636186][/quote]The additional information space is provided to take care of situation like urs where the main form did not specifically mentioned.

Add the additional info and attach those documents in ur visa application.

Good luck.

@justwise

pls i have an issue. my mother in law is sponsoring me( we have the same family name) she has provided her bank statements and letter from her bank mentioning me and has also given me the letter of her consent.
my issue is that in part of the form to show relationship what document do i submit.
i have put my husband's birth certificate and our marriage certificate, is this ok?

pls respond. thanks

. . . . have to also add that providing those highlighted documents was a good idea.
Finger crossed, all will be well.

Those two documents comes to mind while i was reading through ur question. Since you share the same family name.

justwise tell me the one u tink go work pass

Which ever one u chose will still work, if u ticked no, u still have the required £5400 and if you ticked yes and add the additional information in the space provided, its still a win win situation.

umo77:
thanks justwise for the tip, but do i still say yes to the question of having paid something for accommodation? i don't have any proof on CAS nor the receipt.

Is either u say yes and on the space provided for additional information u tell the BHC that u paid £200 deposit for accommodation but weren't given a receipt, they can verify that if they want, OR you say no.

@emekadike2

Why not give us a clue here on how the online investment works?

umo77:
thanks a lot justwise, your answer is going to be helpful but if i put in 'yes' that i've paid something for accommodation, i don't have any proof to show for it. isn't it better i just put no? the school is actually having a bit of a problem looking for my £200 deposit right now though they know it has been paid, please advice

Ask the school for the reciept of that £200 u deposited for accommodation IF they can't give you then don't panic cos you still have more than £5400 in ur account.

SAMMYTOPE:
@justwise pls i need your help av paid for my school fees fully but i didnt pay anything for my accommondation.pls hope it wont affect my application.

No, not paying for accommodation will NOT affect ur visa outcome cos that £5400 is also part of accommodation fees. If you paid for accommodation, the amount u paid will be reduced from the £5400 cos accommodation fees is included in that £5400.

So as long as u have that £5400 in ur account, u don't need to worry about not paying for accommodation in advance.

umo77:
hi everyone, i'm a bit confused, must i send my transcript addressed to BHC? i've had mine for some time o. and no.2; on the student self-assessment form part 6 under maintenance , i quote:
item 6.8 You must have £600 per month to cover maintenance in the UK(up to a maximum of 9 months). what do i fill in that box? is it the £5400;item 6.12 I haven't paid anything for accommodation except the £200; do i write yes or no since it's not shown in my CAS letter?
item 6.17 [b]do you have any fees and maintenance still due for payment?[/b]i said yes cos i have £12 outstanding for tuition; but what do i fill in for maintenance? i have more than £5400 in my account. do i put in £5400 or the money in my account?
please justwise, and all the visa gurus answer abeg, thanks

[b]1=[/b]You only submit if u used it to obtain the admission, you can submit it even as its not addressed to the BHC.

2=Yes its the £5400 and put yes for accommodation(its considered as part of maintenace money)

3= write the £5400 even as u have more than that in ur account, that will be shown in ur bank statement.

frenchman:
I wish to commend the effort of the members of staff of the high commission based on my recent experience.
The service was highly commendable judged by the fact that we have heard several unwholesome reports about how the place was being run. I went for the passport reissue on the 29th of July, and did not spend the whole day as I anticipated. My passport was ready for collection on the 9th of August!! This is phenomenal!
Kudos to all the staff!!

Totally agree with you, got my e-passport from Nigeria embassy under one week, things have changed there and staff are working very hard to please some difficult Nigerians

[quote author=fine.boy link=topic=492365.msg6559504#msg6559504 date=1281601179]justwise you are a one mad man, i can see that from all your post.

this is a open forums for opinion, why insulting?

the poster is only seaking opinion, so get matured.[/quote]Your opinions are misleading and dangerous

Jaylone:
@Justwise

Is it that age declaration is not accepted? I don't have a birth certificate and I had used age declaration to apply for the admission.

Its accepted, i used that as well.

jtx3001:
, I SIMPLY HATE RGU NOW! I applied for my visa 2day at the VFS office in IKEJA brimmin with FULL CONFIDENCE thanks to all the lovely advice i have gotten from members of this forum, most especially JUSTWISE, NAT 138 and ALL, just to have my hopes dashed a few minutes ago. Chekd my mail, saw a mail in my spam acct which was sent from RGU, and tho most of the info's dey sent me wer in order, i realised that they have changed d START DATE to 27th of SEPT, and not the 21st as earlier stated in the initial CAS i received, bearin in mind dat they didnt evn send me an ammended copy of the said CAS, and i had 2 send my application without this same CAS!So JUSTWISE and ALL, am i still in order with this recent development? Would they have cause to deny me on the basis that i made a wrong entry in my form regardin the COURSE START DATE wch was previously stated as 21? Pls reply, as i am not hapi at this moment cos of dis,

Don't panic yet,  nat138  is right, the embassy should have up todate info concerning ur application, change of start date will not affect the outcome of ur visa application.

gulag:
@ justwise and all the people in the houseI would be applying for a student visa but I have several issues
1) I have all the maintenance funds in my fathers fixed deposit ( about 23000 pounds). Are fixed deposits looked down upon in the UK emabassy and have people been rejected for using FD as a source of funds? The fixed deposit expires very soon and there is no penalty on encashing the funds
2) Also since it is not in my name will it be a problem? My father is sponsoring my education and I am over 21 but I would not be providing my own account. My father is of course writing a letter of support that he will be responsible for all my fees.
please answer soonest

I never heard of any refusal based on fixed deposit.

You can use ur dady's account, get the sponsor's letter and attach ur birth certificate to ur visa application.

Hello Justwise and all,

I was just issued a birth certificate today as the first one is missing.Please i want to know if it will cause any problem in applying for my visa. And also am i to write a letter explaining why i have a new one?contributions please

Explaining why u have a new birth certificate is not a bad idea, use the space in the form where they asked for additional information to do that.
