[quote author=Sky-walker]You right. did not think about that.But with £475, they should be able to pool money together to furnish it up depending on how long they are staying for their studies[/quote]

That is the issue, they can't move back to Nigeria with beds, reading table and other stuff, selling it after will fetch little or nothing. Renting furnished one is always the best, just move in with your luggage.

[quote author=vault & gardens]Contact me on DELETED[/quote]For what?

[quote author=Sky-walker]Right, the best thing to do is to find either a 2 bedroom or 1 bedroom and convert the lounge to a bedroom to save cost. You can search on gumtree to find them. There are some there or you can maybe stay in an hotel for a while and look around to get the best deals. Its cheaper if you rent a 2 bedroom as a whole.

I just search some on this website and found 2 bedroom for £475 per month which is not bad but you might have to pay agancy fee and maybe deposit.

The problem with those houses is that they are not furnished, no student buys bed, wall-drop and stuff to move into a house. It will cost you even more money to furnish it.

Ndata: May the peace of Allah be with you all.I'm serving my time in Guangtanamo bay detention camp.Any Nigeria here? Lets meet.

Interesting.... how did you end up there?

peteafrik88: Thank God and everyone; Justwise and Skywalker for all ur wonderful contribution. I confirmed my visa yestaday and it was positive. I am billed to arrive Heathrow rommorrow morning.
The next 1 is my accommodation (flatshare or Studio and self contain) near UoP... Its urgent nw
(Budget: £400 pm all bills inclusive)

With 300 a month including all bills you will get double bedroom accommodation within university area, just pay for 2-3days hotel accommodation and use that time to look for room. Your university has list of private landlords, check in your uni website or email your international center for the list.

Many student houses are around the uni and city center then 20-25mins away to places like fratton park, your uni offers free school bus to many area, so living a bit far will not be a big issue

Not everybody that prays before filling that lottery form will win it. I'm sure that Nigeria will be empty by now if it works that way.

kratosbatman: Hi people. I recently applied for a student visa to the UK. I have previously studied there and during that time i drove my friend's car just 2mins round the corner of his house and was unlucky to be stopped by the police. I had no licence or insurance. The police took my details and asked some questions and said that in 6months i could be called to court for a fine and likely points. However, he did state that I wouldn't get a criminal record. I didnt put this in my application. Should I be extremely worried?

Its always important not to hide any crime record when completing the application form even if its unspent one, as long as your details were taken, charged or not don't withhold the info.Don't let the ECO to dig it out, in that case its a straight refusal. Since you have lived in the UK before your immigration/character record will be checked when you applied for a visa.

1forall: Don't know about this good character section of visa apps but don't see how committing a driving offence implies bad character. UKBA in Nigeria won't do a police check on you and even if they do (which they wont cos its not part of their job as immigration officers) you have no record cos no court convicted you. Were you driving on a provisional license?

They do.

smartmachine: but pls do i have to tell d school to send me a new CAS for the two weeks extension or will a letter be ok?

Yes the school need to issue you another CAS

dagreen14: No they are not? But what can she apply for to come and visit or can she apply for a right of Abode if that still exist

Then she can't apply for British passport, if she is qualified for visiting visa then she can apply.

dagreen14: Hi Justwise, my friend wife was born in the UK around 1984 and her parents took her back to Nigeria after she was born and she visited the UK when she was 7 since then she has been living in Nigeria... My question can she apply for a British passport in Nigeria?

Is any of her parents a British citizen?

smartmachine: thanks for ur opinion
okay maybe thats what i will do..i wil reapply

but there's also an option in my refusal letter that i can apply for a 'review of the decision'. does this mean 'to appeal'?
but when i checked out of vfs in ikeja..some people were talking about these immigration lawyer stuffs..how far wil that go if i heed to them, even though i dont believe in them.

Review will take at least 4months, don't waste your money on any immigration lawyer, it will not make any difference

jenni1108: settlement visa - i have spoken to you before on page 76

thanks

Your list looks good, do you have at least 18,000 pounds (a year salary) in that bank account you are submitting?

smartmachine: i submitted both zenith bank and union bank
in zenith bank i have exactly 20100 pounds
in union i have 3000 pounds(i converted using 260 naira for 1pound)

my whole fees both course and maintenance is 14820 and 7200, but i have already paid 1500 and it was shown in my CAS. so all i needed to show is just 20520 pounds.

but the eco only made mention of the union bank account..he said i dont have enough funds. he did not make mention of the zenith bank account.

even in my document pack he has removed the union bank account statement, but he left the zenith statement.

i dont knw why he did that anyway

If the money in both accounts have clocked 28days then i'm surprised that you were refused a visa, i'm sure you were given the right to appeal? sadly you don't have time for that as it takes ages, can you get 2wks extension from your school and re-apply?

jenni1108: Hello

I have just about finished getting my documents together – I would really appreciate it if anyone could let me know if this is enough or if more is needed – (the list is quite long)

Financial requirement documents
• Bank statement from May 2012 – to date – bank statements show all salary payments.
• All wage slips from April 2012 (started working in April but changed jobs in September) – will a copy of my last 4 months wage slips with a Payroll stamp be sufficient as we only get online copies?

Accommodation
• BT bills for June and December 2012
• Council tax statement for 2012/13
• Land registry document showing I’m the registered owner
• January 2013 and October 2012 mortgage statements
• Letter from Mortgage company detailing what I pay monthly
• Service charge statement
• Solicitors letter (from years back) confirming exchange of contract.
• Copy of pictures of the apartment and room sizes and number of rooms
• Electricity and water bills for the past 12 months

Proof of relationship
• Stamps from passport of travel to Nigeria
• Transcript of my university stay in Nigeria (where we met initially)
• Phone bills (itemized) of calls and texts I have made to lyca and his number respectively for the last 15 months
• Original copy of marriage certificate
• Yahoo messenger/skype/whats app conversations – printed copies
• Pictures from our wedding day (registry)
• Letter from family members stating the relationship is genuine

Proof of citizenship
• Copy of bio data page of British passport.
• Copy of page in Nigerian passport of when I came here initially (when I was 1)



Proof of employment
• Copy of a contract of employment from previous employer with attached email confirming it came from HR
• Copy of contract of current employer
• Letter from current employer stating requirements as requested from UKBA
• Copy of my CV to show I have potential to obtain new employment even if I should (God forbid) lose this one.

I think this is everything and just hope they don’t look for any reason to refuse my husband visa.

Thanks you in advance for all your help and advice.

What type of visa are you applying for and how much is the bank statement?

smartmachine: hello justwise..i have just been refused student visa. i wanted to go for my masters programme. the ECO's reason is that my funds are insufficient. but in the application i went with 2 bank statements..let me break it down for u.
i already paid 1500 pounds out of 14820 and i need 7200 for maintenance. in my sponsor's (dad's) zenith bank account he has 20,100pounds and i just used his union bank account to supplement the remaiming 500pounds and he even has about 3000pounds in that account.

now the eco toldme in d refusal letter that my union bank account does not have enough money for the purpose of my maintenance. pls wat do u think could be wrong with my application. i added the union bank account cos som1 here told me i can use two accounts. now the eco did not say anything about the zenith bank account. now i have little time left. my course resumes Feb 11. do u think i should apply for reviewing the refusal or should i make arrangements for another application?
thanks

You submitted the Union bank account alone or both Zenith bank account and the union bank account? In total how many bank accounts did you submit and state clearly how much in each of them

omabroowniee: ok nice,i hope that the reason being that he hadn't gotten his own rented apartment is convincing enough,or do u have any ideas

Nope, absolutely clueless.
