Bourne007:
You asked about non-EU and the figures below show the entire population including EU citizens. Not sure of the figures but the non-eu leaving is almost the same as the people coming in hence my reason of saying you might not exactly know if this is reducing or not.

How do you know that?

MrsF:
Hello house. Since the rate isnt stable does that mean one shouldnt start counting the 28 days. Another question is it ok to open a new account and deposit the maintenance fee ( tuition has been paid in full) or it has to be an account that has been in use for awhile.
I havent gotten my telex copy yet

They will use the rate of the day you deposited the full amount, so whatever happens to the exchange rate after that day will not affect you and the 28days counting.

Justwise, please from your vast knowledge and experience..please could you tell us the implications of voting IN and OUT..especially for International Students.

I don't see any significant benefit to international students if the UK leaves the EU by the end of today. One of the main reasons why the UK is leaving the EU is to cut down on immigration, so leaving the EU does not mean that they will start dishing out visas to foreign students or others to come to the UK.

The UK can't get rid of Eastern Europeans here already in fact they have not been able to depot many non-EU citizens for more than 9yrs now and immigration number is increasing year by year.

Yes they claimed that they will introduce point based system whereby only people with skills and education will be allowed in to take a job when they score enough point, Australia has the same system but it did not reduce their immigration number rather it increases.


The toughest immigration rule implemented for years now has targeted foreign students.

..before 2008 foreign students don;t need to show that they have money for fees and maintenance money before getting their visas, you only need is admission letter. Many work programs were in place for foreign students after graduation but all have been removed. You can apply for job within the UK after graduation but now you have to do that from your home country.

You don't pay for any health charge before getting a visa but now that is the case.

You can combine 10yrs of studying within the UK to qualify for indefinite leave to remain (ILR) but now you can't as HomeOffice has effectively closed that route.

So the UK leaving the EU will only benefit foreign student if the govt reversed some of those immigration polices else i don't see the benefit to foreign students

Bourne007:
Well not exactly. But the thing is as more people are coming, more people tend to leave at the end of the day. International students for example are almost 70% guaranteed to leave after their studies and new sets of students then come in after. You might not exactly know if it's reduced or not.

How do you mean by..You might not exactly know if it's reduced or not?

The Office for National Statistics released UK population figure today to be 65.1 million, that is an increase of 513,300 in the year to June 2015.

Net migration contributed 335,600 to that figure. Net immigration is the difference between those coming into the UK and those leaving.

mcstar:
Ok. Thanks. Maybe it's just different for each school. Because, also in that mail, school said before I get my CAS, I have to send my financial statements to them first and if I don't carry out all these steps, they can't send a CAS to me

That is not part of HomeOffice visa requirement but an individual school policy because many people presented 'build account' just to get a visa then get to the UK and default on school fees payment. This is just to show HomeOffice that they did their part before issuing CAS to that student.

@MamaToks

Sorry i have to edit some part of your post where you unintentionally did a marketing/promotional pieces for certain hospital.

No vex...i don't want to rain on your parade

dustydee:
I'm IN. I like some of Cameron's policies. I don't want him to resign.

Voted IN already and i don't like David but this is not about him.

Bourne007:
If UK leaves, the plan is they will switch to a point based system meaning candidates are assessed based on suitable education, work experience, age and language ability. At the moment, EU citizens has no restrictions and can live and work in the UK which makes it difficult for non-EU nationals. Leave campaign wants everyone to be on a point based so they can control their border and know who's coming in.

I think international students will benefit from this (depending on whatever rules they come up with).

Wishful thinking by them, all lies, have they been able to reduce immigration from non-EU citizens since they come to power?

mcstar:
I got a mail from my school this morning stating the steps I have to take to get ready for application.
FAQS
'Bank statements CANNOT be more than 31days old on the date you make your application.'

So you're right,we have just 3 days to apply from printing the bank statement. I just understood this too.

Yes it can, after counting 28days you can printout your bank statement and apply a week, 2weeks or even 3weeks after

Whatamidoinghere:
Thanks buddy, just that the enrollment is around September ending, does that mean he needs to attend and is the enrollment that necessary?
Also, is it possible going along with the maintenance fee while Travelling? Like changing it into pounds, then go along with it, or what's the best thing to do.

Attending enrollment is important because that is when you get all your course details, student ID, university tour, bank account registration, Health registration and many others.

You don't have to carry all your maintenance money when traveling, you can take 1-2 thousand pounds for the initial expenditures then get the rest transferred later.

Akorkor:
Good morning all oh,

@justwise, sabi brothers and sisters, uncles and aunties that have been doing great job on this thread... God bless una brain o.
This is my first time of posting on this thread and i have a lot of questions.

Firstly, i work in Ghana, and working as a diplomat there. Also, my hubby is based in Nigeria and the reason why am saying this is because of my request. We want to give birth to our child in U.S and my EDD is December but we havent done the visa yet.

So we want to use Ghana U.S embassy and i will like to know if the question asked in Nigeria U.S embassy is the same and if the document requisition will also be the same .

Thank you for your response

There is no way to know that really but with the nature of your job you should be fine, i guess this is where note verbale becomes very useful.

LagosNIV:
Probably very early in the process - I don't work for NVC though so I don't know.

chasethechased:
Thanks very much Mr Wise, the visas have been issued to me and my dependants. Took just 4 working days, no priority. God bless you.

Congratulations!

Funjosh:
That if you guys will stop referring people back to the previous parts where they don't even know where to start from.

We will not stop referring people to read previous materials. We are doing you a favour and not the other way round

@All

Please try and keep discussion open here as we have always do. its a bit selfish to move discussion to whatsapp after gaining from others here

mrsmith11:
Firstly schengen and eurozone are two different thing

Tourist visa is a short visa between 1-3 months and usually single entry


Now your question:
If you have anyone in Denmark then I think is preferable

Reason:

I hear majority of them speaks English

They have technical school like automobile(mechanic) courses in english and few others
The cost is in range of 3000 euros or there about (google it)

So he can study in Denmark with tourist visa?

Bourne007:
@Justwise .. I think you're wrong on this one.

Any money you use for maintenance (tuition fees and living costs) must be in your account for a consecutive period of 28 days. During the 28 day period this money cannot drop below the required amount for even one day or you will not meet the Home Office requirements.
Your bank statement must be no more than 31 days old on the date of your application.

What exactly are you talking about? Did you actually read my post or you quoted a wrong person?

MrsF:
Justwise any thoughts on this pls??

It simply means that after accounting 28days you need to apply for visa before a month after the 28days.

E.g if your 28days ended on the 28th of this month then you need to apply for visa before 27th of July.

Inexplicable:
@Justwise: I am new on this forum but I have read a lot in here. Your consistency has been amazing chief! Keepirrup! I applied for General visitor visa late last year buh was denied. The major reason for the denial, according to them, was because they were not really convinced that I owned the money in the bank statement I submitted as part of my supporting documents. Undettered, I intend to apply for a tier 4 student visa for my master's programme. The university I applied to granted me scholarship in respect of my tuition fee in an amount that is quite substantial. An account was opened in my name wherein I have deposited the outstanding tuition fee and the cost of maintenance thanks to a samaritan who helped with the funds. I am waiting for the 28 days to lapse before obtaining the bank statement and applying for CAS. My worry is whether the Home Office will be interested in how I came about the funds and whether I will be mandated to evidence documents to prove the funds. What do you think, justwise?

Normally the source of the money in your account is not questioned but sometimes they do call people in for an interview. So hope and pray that they don't call you in for an interview

Tourist visa

Then he can't study or work with it in any Schengen country

bigass123:
A friend asked me a question last night and I don't think i have the perfect answer for him and so I thought to share with experts in Nairaland.
He has a scheghen visa offer to enter most of the countries in the Euro zone but he can only choose. He plans to work study and work. Putting certain points like racism, language, labour law into consideration. We are not sure which of the European countries will be suitable.
Experienced folks in house.. Come to our rescue. I chose Austria or Sweden.. He was talking about Netherlands or Norway. Someone please educate my friend and assist him make a good decision.. God bless

Is that visiting visa or study visa?

BarrEgo:
Hello all - with special shoutouts to Justwise and FrontpageLawyer. I need help abeg. My mum and 10 year old son will be applying for visitor visa this week. They plan on visiting in July, but they won't be staying with me (I'm on tier iv visa). I have motel/hotel reservations for them in three cities across the UK for the two weeks they will stay. My mum will sponsor the trip. Current budget is £2,500 for the two of them. My mom has a letter from me granting her temporary custody of my son - I'm a single mom. She has N5m balance in one of her accounts - busy over the last six months with credits (also debits) from sale of my late father's land, sale of her two buses, payments from clients (she has biz name registration for a catering outfit she runs) and her pension as a civil service retiree (N70,000 monthly) - she retired in 2012. What docs do we need to show proof of funds, please? Also, how do we get tax clearance for the biz? Forgive the ignorance in the last sentence; company law was never my forte.

Bank statement is one of them. Yes get tax clearance and business registration papers if the business is registered.

Your picture with your kid, his birth certificate, proof of accommodation for them in the UK, a copy of your student ID, data page of your passport, letter of consent(if his daddy is involved in his life then he needs to sign the letter as well)...

diamondsare4eva:
@Justwise, why are you derailing this thread? Follow the link and read about Polish visa......Just kidding, though i know you are one of the moderators at this site and you are free to open as many sections as you want

https://www.nairaland.com/2272115/polish-student-visa

Their application process is straight forward but the embassy in abuja is just there to collect people's money without issuing visas

You decided you quote a post i made since 2009?
