jidecole23: good day.

To the gurus in the house, am having some issues with the exchange rate. on oanda 1 naira to pounds is 280 and 265 pounds to 1 naira(buying and selling difference). my question is can I use the 265 rate instead of the 280 rate because at 280 d money in my account(2,050,000) would not be up to 7830 pounds.

please I need advice on this. Thanks

gaskinachi: I saw on the student thread where u said someone shud submit her dads statement wit hers ...so I'm saying if clients transferred money to me whichc mostly has been my most convenient means of getting paid ..I can't possibly ask them to give me their statement as proof of where funds came from so wat is my option in a case like dis.

gaskinachi: Justwise

As regards source of funds For a business man who can't tell his clients to bring their statement to prove himself ...business purchase receipts shud work fine right as a source ...like for a builder things like receipts of tiles ,iron,cement blocks and plumbing materials ...good Enuff?

Olola15: Personal bank or building society statements covering a consecutive 28 day
period ending no more than 31 days before the date of your application. Your personal
bank or building society statements must show:
• your name or your parents(s)/legal guardians name; and
• the account number; and
• the date of the statement; and
• the financial institution’s name and logo; and
• the amount of money available.

Baba Justy, can I use the bank statement I generated online that has all the above on it.

Loriante: You can..Only if you can get them stamped and signed by the bank itself. (Credits go for Justwise)

Loriante: Thanks for your answer Justwise. I guess by providing evidence as per each deposit, you mean that I should have attached deposit forms from my bank which tie in with my bank statement. You are absolutely right. But generally, what if I deposit them myself. (I have done so with some deposits). How can I ever prove my personal savings if I do accrue my income and deposit them as one lump every now and then. Thanks Justwise.

Do you think they would consider my abiding by the law in not overstaying my visa, either when I was on a tier 4 student or when I had traveled to Turkey two years ago?

Loriante: Happy to have come back again with my inquiries, boiling down to my attempts to convince ECO that I am returning to my home country after my visit. I should thank first Justwise and others who truly helped me getting my Tier 4 student visa about 2 years ago.

I am attending my graduation this July, having submitted what seemed to me enough documents together with my father's documents. I was awarded my degree only in June (being a writing up a student till May), claiming my graduation letter on the 20th. So I am unemployed.

These are the documents I have submitted:

1-Bank statement covering 6 months period with sufficient funds to pay for the whole journey.
2-Graduation letter sent me electronically by the student life desk.
3- Proof of purchasing a property in installments with an article stating my payments to be in effect since 2011.
4-My parents's marriage certificate as an indicator of my ties back home.
5-Itinerary and return flight tickets indicating a trip of only 10 days.

My concerns: I have concerns about my bank statement deposits being untraceable. I have declared in my online application that I get approximately 400 GBP pounds per month from family and friends. But my bank statement presents large lumps of money being deposited regularly since January due to my father helping me saving for my phd. He does so temporarily (never on regular basis) in addition to my depositing personal savings from my previous job whose payment history belongs to a totally different bank account.

Domwise: Where are other pages? It appears that all the posts on every nairaland thread from Jan. 12 to Jun.21 has gone. Chai! there is God o.

@justwise, any hope of recovery?

Joenice: Just take it easy. I do understand how you feel right now.

@[b]Justwise, Is Nokia E71 phone not supported? Because I cannot reply messages on here. Or Is someone trying to hack me?

beezeezah: Yes but they should also be careful with who they choose as MOD because you don't know who is who on NL, we have witches, wizard, computer guru, hackers here. So no MOd should come and insult anyone personality here again. Shikena, let's get to business

paradisewoods: Paying the increment isnt the main issue. Let them give me back my 6100 pounds so that I can invest with it and be able to pay the increment. They want to eat their cake and have it. they want to keep the 6100pounds and still expect me to pay increment. afterall they were the ones that agree that since the maximum I could transfer is 6100 I should transfer it and balance 50pounds later. How much is 50pounds that I would be made to pay 600pounds increment. I could have paid all but the bank cant transfer more than 6100 at a time. I believe its unfair. please justwise and donoms and others. I need your advice.

paradisewoods: University of sunderland . the total fee is 9650pounds. I Initially paid 3500pounds deposit for CAS. After being refused visa, the school told me that I should pay the balance and defer till March 2014. When i got to the bank , the maximum i could transfer was 6100pounds , I contacted the school and they agreed I could pay the 50pounds balance when I resumed March. later that week I got an email that my course would no longer be available for March2014 cos they dont have enough candidates and that I should defer till September 2014. Now they are trying to force me to defer till spetember 2014 and pay and incremental fee of 10250pounds (600pounds difeerence). They even asked their nigerian agent bcie to be disturbing me. my total money with them is 9600 pounds since October 2013.

paradisewoods: Good evening every one please I want to ask a question. Last year I was denied visa and after contacting the school , they asked me to pay the balance of my school fees and defer my admission to september 2014. I paid the balance 9650pounds and deferred. Now I got a message from the school that the fee for this year has increased and I would be affected too. please what do I do ? I think its unfair from the increment to affect me after leaving over 2 million with for what will be 1 year. Please what should i do ? can I ask for the balance back , do some business with it that would yield profit and pay when its approaching september? thank u
