kemkem30: Its not stated in my CAS. The award is from a Nigerian university(where I work). I hope I can still use the letter.

Ok but have they paid all the money into your account now or enough to cover fees and maintenance money?

kemkem30: 94000pounds but they specifically quoted 264naira to 1 pound. they are paying the naira equivalent.

Since the money covers everything and its stated in your CAS why not use the scholarship letter rather than paying the money into your account?

kemkem30: The scholarship (academic staff training and development) is a tetfund program for university staff. We applied through the university. Tetfund approves and the university issues award letter. The entire money has been paid to the university. The university then pays us in installments.

Ok, and the scholarship worth ninety three thousand pounds?

DonOms: If you have the 28 days to count after money is lodged into your account by TETFund, I will advice you apply as a Tier 4 (General) Student.
That option of applying as (Sponsorship) is used when governments or international organisations will be FULLY sponsoring the applicant. Now, if TETFund states the conversion rate on the Scholarship letter, it may appear as if the sponsorship will not include any currency conversion fluctuation, and you MAY be at the mercy of the ECO and I don't know what might happen.

Oga @Justwise, please look into this and advice accordingly. Thanks.

To start with...who gave the scholarship? TETFund or an organisation or institution funded by TETFund?

spikesC: I think VISA is overrated, my aunt actually got to UK without an international passport

careful..be careful ..you are now sounding like enemy of progress..

spikesC:

Now i think you're a North Korean spy

You really must be kidding me....how about Cambodian spy?

Vicjustice: With the unreasonable ranting that he has displayed here, I can only wonder the manner of personality that he has in real life.
I just read and reviewed my correspondece with him to try to figure out what I did to trigger his anger, but I can't see the cause

I found one....you should have said stuff like....its 'god' that issues visa,....you know of an uncle who sales ice water under the bridge that was issued 5yrs visa even without inflow & outflow in his account.....

spikesC: Now that's wicked

Nope...i prefer a slice of Thailand

Vicjustice: I was actually assuming that you are an adult when you said something about going through a university.

There are loads of kids there these days ... browsing nairaland....looking for ways to get to the UK through Sahara... ....with mum's family business bank account

spikesC: I think they're russian spies, sent to disrupt people from travelling to western countries

Ooh come on now! thats a bit of down grading , i thought i'm doing better than Russian spies?

Forto: I have been reading this thread and 99 percent of cases here are usually money aspect or strong ties to Nigeria, now i dont have an issue in money aspect cos the inflow and outflow of money is very good, and i operate a family business which i believe is a strong tie to Nigeria cos my mum is hardly there so i like run the business myself, which i will detail in a letter to them, so wat do i need an official appointment letter for wen its a family business? so now d problem is my certificate must be up to a year old, give me a reason why my CAC must get up to a year before i can apply? Is d uk not after ur strong ties or ur finances? And certificate to show u operate a genuine business? I have seen so money responses from u guys and its very discouraging which is too bad, i just decided to give it a try , more discouragement. There are some people that still provide all d documents but still get rejected! Its all has to do with the ECO! Vicjistice and justwise are just bad belle people dat dont want people to travel!

oh my days!! Why me?

Ruleogo: Hello everyone...I posted a comment on this forum sometime ago about been refused uk visa because of a mistake I made and which I sent an email to the effect to correct the mistake but wasn't seen and I was refused on 720(b). I immediately did a review after discussing it here and attached the email I sent to correct the mistakes.now the ukba sent me a mail to state this.
The decision to refuse on this ground is still maintained,but you are welcome to submit a fresh application anytime at the VHS centers.and if You should apply, an attempt to be made to state the previous refusal issues.I can not however guarantee the outcome of your application.
So @justwise and everyone.am I good to go to submit my student visa.

Ruleogo: Yeah 320(7a)....mixed it up.

You are not good to go, the chances of refusal based on your previous offence is high. Refusal under 320 (7A) carries 10yrs ban.

@All

Please lets keep out the Ebola/salted water joke, there is nothing funny about the deadly disease.

ShegsA: I agree with this. Buy something that will be very useful both during your degree program + when you start working except you plan on trading in the old to purchase a newer one when you start working.

So big screen will affect its quality? I'm not a fan of big screen, 15 is the biggest i can go for but i want to know why you think big screen will mean it will not be useful after uni.

Do you mean 320(7A) or 320(7B)?

Pweety1: @justwise, how do you get the oanda print.


Please help me out with my questions:
1) I paid in 4m in my account for the remaining fees and maintenance since the 4th of august for the fees. I have also been running the account by paying in and withdrawing money but i didnt touch the 4m. Right now i have 4.5m in my account. Can i still use the account to apply for visa or will i have to start counting again. I'm suppose to have 14000pds equivalent to 3.8m
2) I want only ask in my CAS to provide my transcript and Waec result for English language which were in my maiden name. is is okay to include my marriage certificate and change of name in newspaper cuttings. (someone said i should include all the documents i used for applying to the school)
3) which center is the best to apply for visa, Ikeja or V/I

Please someone just help a desperate sister out. I thought one can withdraw and pay in money into the account without touching the required amount.

DonOms has answered your questions.

Chinwem: @Justwise

THANK YOU so much
God bless you

No worries, i'm happy it worked out for you. Welcome to the UK.

ekpotek: For that is the key question. Never say you know someone in the US, even if you know. In my first interview in 2008, the VO asked me if I know someone in the US, which I responded in the negative. He then asked me where are my siblings, I told him they were all in Nigeria, mention the states they were. Then I passport was fresh with no travel history, and my visa was approved. The bottom line is never reveal any information that give the VO the impression that you are not likely to return. Such information as knowing family member and spend long time in the US are very difficult to convince the VO for first-time applicant

That is misleading and dangerous thing to advice somebody. Please lets be mindful of the sort of advice we give people here.

Chioti: Please I have an urgent question concerning funds to be kept for 28 days. If I decide to keep just the maintenance funds for the 28 days while I gather my tuition fees and am certain that within the 28 days, before I make my application, the money will be ready and then pay directly to the university such that it reflects on my CAS, will it be a valid thing to do.

Nothing wrong with that, you can do that without any fear, as long as its reflects on your CAS you will be fine.

tobee: Please do u mean both the certificate and transcript

Only submit what is mentioned in your CAS, if its certificate then submit only certificate, its only transcript then that is only what you will submit, and if both are mentioned then submit both.

tshegs19: LoL. I know, my aunt 'n fam reside in stevenage, so I dnt hv a choice (accommodation ish). I want to apply for Data Comm. & Networks MSc in the Uni. Checking the entry requirements, Is there any need for Nigerian students to take the IELTS test ?

Your school will tell you that after going through your application.

tobee: I sent my[b] bsc certificate[/b] and also ask Unilag to send a soft copy of my transcript to them; which they did.

That is exactly what you need to include in your visa application package.

tobee: @ Justwise, please is it necessary for me to include my transcript in my supporting document? My CAS only stated BSC from UNilag. It didn't categorically say Certificate. If yes, do u have an idea of how to get transcript from Unilag as they DON'T issue transcript to individuals.

What certificate did you send to the school during the admission application?

sukber: Hello house!! Got my Visa approved and visa issued today email. Waoh can't scream, been panicking all these while. Thanks to every1 on this thread.
Any1 going 2 Bristol?

Congratulations

catherine0709: Your application has been approved and the visa has been issued. We aim to return passports to the VAC within 2 working days. You can check the location of your passport at www.ukvac-ng.com.

Congratulations!

adaobi123: Under £600

Then you got no prob getting a good laptop for course work, 15.00 inch for tv or movie and with loads of storage space.

Log in to Argos and see range of good laptops within your spec for less than £500.

adaobi123: Can anyone recommend a good laptop for university, I just wanna be using it for coursework, watching tv shows and with a decent battery life.

None of those £1000+ ones, my money ain't growing on trees yet.

Whats your budget?

otiigba1: abeg any naija person in the porthsmouth area near the beach (just moved from london to porthsmouth IOW) were can i find african shops especially for hot chilli peper, this oyibo peper me no understand am, please help!

There is a Nigerian and other African shops in Fratton Park area, i have forgotten the name of the road but its by roundabout before Fratton train station.

If you are coming from the university heading to Fratton train station the road is by the right just by the roundabout.

kenngeorge: Please @justwise, Nairaland members and non members, i need urgent advise and assistance. A cousin of mine got an offer from an Austrian university to study MBA. He resides in Ukraine and needs to get his birth certificate authenticated at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Nigeria and then taken to the Austrian embassy in Nigeria also for verification. However, the challenge is that my contact in Abuja is out of the country for good yet my contact does not include Austrian embassy. Please, is there anyone in the house who can help with a legit and reliable contact? This would be greatly appreciated.

Why do you need a 'contact' to get that done?

Kansola01: Hello everyone, I'm new here. One question pls, is it everyone that gets the message 'Your visa application has been approved and issued', even if the person was rejected? Thanks in advance.

No, if your application is rejected then its not 'approved and issued'

bidibudi: @justwise u know saying the truth here is the way out
my schl fees is 12900
deposited 3500
going to pay 5000 wen i arrive in the uk (will be going with the cash )
accommodation is 3440
payed reservation fee of 500
going to pay 1000 pounds getting there(with the cash @ hand)
cash @ hand for personal use for me that i ll be going with is 1000 for upkeep
total cash @ hand will be 7000
TOTAL money is 20280( fees 12900, maintenance 7380)
i ve payed a total of 4000 here in Nigeria
ll be going with 7000 cash
having a total of 9280 + or -
i intend paying the rest @ installment
with my business here in Nigeria little by little
what is my position here baba justwise and fellow landers

Your calculation is confusing....

1.Are you going with the remaining school fees?

2. Apart from £500 deposit for accommodation how much are you going with for maintenance?
