[quote author=holyboy.com]does the 28 days waiting period applies to applicants using his parents bank statement of account. please direct answer...[/quote]This is an interesting question and over the years we have not really touched on the issue of using parent's bank account + the 28days counting.

There is no Yes or No answer to this but this is the issue...
(1)....if your parents account is older than 28days and contains all the money needed to cover for fees and maintenance money on it then you can print it out and use for visa application without waiting for 28days (remember to add your birth certificate)

(2).... if the account is older than 28days with not enough money to cover for fees and maintenance money then you will start counting the 28days the very day you have enough money in that account to cover for your fees and maintenance money.

honey86: Whao, we have loads of [b]Manchester [/b]peeps on this thread this year. Congratulations to you guys.

...you meant Gun-Chester?

lamie505: Uk is easy to enter once you follow the guidelines and provide neccessary informations.. It not compulsory you follow what others do.. I only shared what I did so am not forcing anyone to follow suit... Thanks

Yes i agree with you but why did you use an agent since you knew all these?

[quote author=Be+2012]IF u believe so much in PFL that u r now shooting advice even though ur visa aint out, What are u now fretting about on Nairaland. That u paid money for an application u could hv done on ur own doeant make ur agent an expert. Last year I used agents for my Canada Study and I didn't get it after expending abt 200K. So don't be quoting ur agent here until he has proven over And over again.
About Bank reference its not necceassary, cos BHC would still check with ur bank![/quote]Thanks for pointing that out, there is no need adding bank reference, not needed and not part of requirements.

Really really sad, may her soul rest in peace.

workinprogress: Good Morning,
I just got my uk student visa yesterday after only 10 working days and after being rejected last year...Allahu akbar....Thanks to justwise and everyother person who helped with my questions and goodluck to all the other people applying for theirs...i will also be available for any questions too..


WHOOOP!!!

Congratulations! All the very best with your studies.

joel911: @Lamie, I think you should desist from misleading applicants and focus on your own application that is still pending with The BHC.
You are giving people the impression that a transaction MUST be made on the 28th day. This is untrue and very misleading.
As long as a bank statement shows a date of between dd/mm/yy - dd/mm/yy and has a closing balance that shows the required funds have been held for 28 consecutive days, and not more than one month from date of application, an applicant is sure of scoring 10pts for maintenance in the PBS tier 4 visa system.

Don Oms: You have a point Lamie505 but you're missing the question "why?" You see, some bank statements don't categorically show "opening balance with date" and "closing balance with date" so you need to make a transaction in such a case. But if your bank statements clearly shows the information, it won't be important to make any transaction on the 28th day except you so desire. Also, the BHC DOESN'T count 28 days from date of last transaction UNLESS the quoted conditions above are not satisfied (they use print date to count 28 days backwards). This is just so everyone gets this right. Thanks.

True that.

londoner: Cheers....how did you do that btw?

Used the 'Modify' button.

princessmoi: Justwise, on the last pasrt of the online application, a signature is required. If you click on next it says "This field is required" please help.

Many who have used the form will help you out soon, i never used it before.

^^^^ ..sorted.

Uyi Iredia: Geez. Nigeria will never be a great nation as long as its citizens continue to think like this.

Oh please!! forget that quote, it has passed it sale-by-date, it does not apply to current situation.

Now it should be: Ask not what you can do for your country, but what your country can do for you.

damsey: Dat i did'nt submit enough evidence of her relationship with me which he specifically quote marriage certificate or photograph. I include d original marriage certificate & photocopy of change of name in application wit her birth certificate.

In that case reapplying will be quicker, appeal will take nothing less than 4months, you may be half way through your program before you know the outcome of the appeal.

damsey: Big thanks to justwise for his contribution. Got my visa yesterday after 11 working days only dat my dependent was denied. Can i appeal?

What was the reason for the refusal?

[quote author=mac@coretech]@Justwise. A friend in London called me today advising me to obtain one YELLOW CARD( For Yellow Fever immunization) from the Ministry of Health. According to him, the UK border agency will request for the card at the point of entry at the port. I now have the Yellow Card and will go for the immunization on Friday, please fellow students make sure you have your Yellow Fever Immunization and the Card to show. Please Justice your advise on other things and/or documents the UK immigration will request at the port will be appreciated, you will save people from being refused entry. God will bless you.[/quote]that is news to me, i doubt yellow card is needed, never heard of anybody questioned about that at point of entry

735 i: Hi Justwise; If Naira equivalent for the balance of my tuition and living expenses is; N 3.6m (which is already in my account) and i withdraw N 500k after my after my Visa application. Will it in anyway affect my chances in getting a visa? i am at crossroads to either sell pounds which i bought for N 254 and buy later at a much more expensive rate or; withdraw the money from my account.
Your opinion please?

its 50/50 situation, if you are unlucky the embassy call your bank to verify then you will be refused.

JideVince: Its just my tuition that has been taken care of,no funds towards maintenance. Meaning I had to prove funds would be available for maintenance.

Ok..i get that. Is your sponsorship status stated in your CAS?

JideVince: No, before.

If you are been sponsored why then were you going through legal guardian?

Don Oms: Hello I need your advice. I paid my
tuition on wed and thurday the school said cas
take 3 to 4 days. Thus I can get my cas on 22 or
23. So can i book appointment then but my maint
money will reach 28 days by 26 or I should wait
still 26 to book the appointment.

Please read this carefully. If you're to resume on the 23rd Sept, and your money will be ready on the 26th Aug; Once you get your CAS, I advise you go over to the online application page & start your visa application. Once you get to the third or fourth page, click the "save application" button. They will send you a GWF number into your email (copy this number in a safe place) and they'll warn you that the "unsubmitted" application will be deleted in 7 days. Now, go to the VFS visa appointment booking site and book the earliest date with your GWF number and your CAS reference number. You must submit that application before the 7-day expiry or if your 28-day period will run beyond the 7-day expiry, just "login to complete existing application" after 5 days and add some more data and re-save to begin counting another 7 days. As soon as your 28 days is up, submit your application & print out.
The reason I'm giving you this option is so as to get an early date for appointment. However, U'll likely get a day less than 15-working days to 23rd Sept, so quickly mail your School and request for an extension. PLEASE!!! If you don't understand my advise, just ask me further questions or don't follow it at all; I don't want you doing something that will cost you eventually. I'm only trying to help.

@mubby08 this post^^^ will help you get around the appointment issues, if you don't understand after going through it carefully please ask for more clarification

mubby08: hey justwise, 
I have been going through this thread and can see you've been of so much help to a lot of people here. Keep up the good work. 

pls I'm having an issue I will like your input on,I deposited the required maintenance funds in my account on the 12th of August(the reason behind this is a long story, so I dont want to go into that). The problem now is that the 28 days will be complete on the 9th of September. My course start date is on the 16th, but it is written on my CAS that the last date of acceptance into the course is 30th of September. I'm really worried about this, I'm just endlessly waiting for the 9th, which seems to be so far, and i'm not even sure how possible it will be for me to get an interview date for that 9th.i feel like its going to be extremely late for me.any advice would be highly appreciated. I have paid my full tuition by the way, and it has been updated on my CAS.

Its really close one, but you can do what others did.....

I don't know whether to laugh or feel sorry for the guy

JideVince: That was my mistake,only if I had joined this forum earlier. My tuition has been paid in full(£16000) I secured a full-tuition scholarship from Allan and Nesta Ferguson Charitable Trust(ANFCT)

Was this after the refusal?

[quote author=ibezomam@yahoo.]As I stated in my post, I do not know; if I knew I probably would not be on this post...Cheers[/quote]Don't take this in a bad way but you need to seek help....Speak to your GP and get some much needed mental health help.

JideVince: 4th October but 14th is the final arrival day.*between 19thSept. And 14th Oct there are 17 working days, excluding Oct. 1st.

You shouldn't have gone through legal guardian route, if you are under 18yrs of age...maybe just maybe it will work.

Have you paid your fees?

[quote author=ibezomam@yahoo.]To achieve all that I listed is quite easy; from my experience, all it requires is to have enough people.

it takes:
1. Surveillance 24/7
2. Defamation (spoiling person name)

The rest is easy...will you be willing to communicate with someone you know that the police are following?
Most people would stay as far away as possible...by not having the opportunity to build a relationship, it is quite difficult to be intimate with a woman...except if she is into runs...me I m not into that sort of thing[/quote]Why are you under surveillance 24/7?

@ibezomam@yahoo

I'm struggling to believe a single thing you wrote there.

How did the HomeOffice stopped you from having intimate relationship with a female since 2007 and every other things you listed?

Are you under house arrest? Are British or resident permit holder?

JideVince: Hi everyone!
I'm new here and I so much rue the fact that I joined late. I was refused a student visa on 10th August,2013 because, according to the ECO, I failed to produce a documentary evidence that demonstrates my guardian as a legally appointed guardian even-though I included an affidavit of guardianship. I deposited the required maintenance fee in my personal GTB account on the 22nd of August,2013, I intend to print my account statement on 19th, September,2013(after a transaction) and proceed to the UKVAC on same day. Please, would that be okay? Thanks all!

When is your course starting?

halobaba: @Joxiri No is not Evisa, is sticker the normal one, but it was issued through ghana in there embassy,

@Justwise if i want to fly out will it be easy, if i arrive turkey will they ask why dint i get it from nigeria? Just curious
Thanks in anticipation

justwise: Who put the residence permit on your passport? What is the process of getting Ghanaian resident permit? You need to know all these before you step out with that passport.

Why did you not answer my question?

JideVince: Thanks bro. No I haven't! I honestly don't think it matters when you submit your application online though. What matters is when you appear at the VAC, pay your visa fee and submit your forms(online print-out, app8) together with the supporting documents.That day is your application date. Am I wrong, house? @Justwise please chip in some words.

will add to what people have told you already before the end of today...pretty busy now....
