pls who knows how to calculate proof of funds.. my school fees balance after first deposit is 7750

POF = Your tuition balance + maintenance money

Try to add an extra 1000 pounds for currency fluctuations.

CamelCase:
This one you are looking for 5, 5 naira tuition deposit I hope you are not relying on paying the balance about 12-14k tuition with 20hr/week salary. .. Or switching to work Visa and dumping school

UK are making plans to clamp down on people like us...

However,

University of Birkbeck is your best bet.
2k deposit and they offer 6-12 month installment of the balance tuition.

Tell me thank you

Nigerians in the UK are doing their best to burn down the bridge for others who plan to make the UK journey. I recently read a report that alledged that over 30% of students from Nigeria who moved last year made a switch to work visa. This is really sad.

LORETA:

Then today I got this mail.

Thank you very much!!!

Hello house, I'm booking TB test for my wife as dependent. I'm the MAIN APPLICANT. on the Visa type, please should I also STUDENT VISA as I used for mine?

Have been in a fashion school

Then put that in your CV as an entrepreneurial venture.

Amax86:
My agent is insisting that I do not declare to my school that I am going with my hubby and son. Please I am so worried that it might affect our visa application. He said if I declare it I would not get my CAS. Please can this be a problem for me and my dependents

It won't and can't affect your application. I doubt they would refer to that, but should they, you could give a plausible reason like, at the time of applying to schools, you were undecided on whether to go alone or with your family, and that now, you have an informed decision on that. The declaration does not affect your CAS issuance to start with, its just a regular ask by the Unis.

Happiness09:
Okay, I have 10 years study gap. I've been working but stopped working 2 years ago. Before applying for admission, I was advised to close the employment gap. So my CV says that I'm still working. That's why I'm worried they might ask to see my salaries.

I doubt they would demand for salary slips but then, 2yrs isn't long enough to raise dusts over. But if you can, ensure to close the gap on your CV, but be sure to make it as convincing as possible.

Btycoon:
Thank you so much my brother


Please, the 20million is just for POF, the flight ticket,test, school fees isn't included.

As stated maintenance within London is £1334 x 9 and that of outside London is £ 1023 x 9

With the above calculations we will be needing not more than 14m but I decided to make it 20m.

Please is 20m enough as POF for 2 now with the above explanations?

If for you and your spouse, then that's more than enough except your tuition balance is enormous.

Ciao!

That's amazing. That's like charging based on official rate.

SandyDandy:
I have only one reference from my school, to get another one na long journey i don't know if i can use only one, am trying to meet up September intake

Yes, you can.

kbpresh:
Is it safe to use an account that has been placed on lien for POF? I can't see the money on my mobile app but my email alerts show that the money is there. Can the statement of account be used? Will it show the total funds in the account in closing balance daily?

Anyone that has done POF like this please answer 🙏 @dduchess90

So long it shows your opening and closing balance, yo are good.

Ciao!

Elolam87:
Good morning
Is there anyone that did biometrics on 31st March(Friday),and has gotten decision. I did a paid call but my dependant application is still awaiting decision,I told her to remain calm but she is worried, simply because some people that did biometrics on April 3rd(Monday)has been decided.

MA is the priority, not the dependent. So long she did not get any NSF mail from UKVI, then there is nothing to worry about. All is well!

Ciao!

Alex1975:
Dear Family, I have my POF from April 1 can I print the Statement on April 28 2023 to request CAS ?

Ciao!

Please can I use my investment account as POF to get cas and apply for visa?

No, you cant.

Hello house. Grus in the house I greet you. I have 2 questions:

1.) I run a business on instagram. How do i put that on my SOP.

2.) For professional Reference how do i get that since i sell on instagram.

Hi,

1. You necessarily dont need SOP when applying for Visa except its to the Uni, in anticipation of your Offer. But then, if you must, you can mention the Business name as it is on IG, while inserting the page url eg www.instagram.com/mybusiness. You highlight in concise details what the business is about, how long its been up and the success you have achieved thus far, and how the business puts you in good standing for your future goals.

2. Reach out to your top customers and indulge them to help reference you. In the letter, they will speak about how long they have known your business and how good your business relationship is with them. You might look out for persons who own their own business so they could use their letter head.

Ciao!

Fraih:
Sorry, just to be clear. Why then do people advise so?

I guess at some point in the past, it was required. Moreso, i read somewhere it is required for Work visa, but it doesnt apply here.

Ciao!

Hello Mcleo007, pls can I use UBA to process form A and which is the fastest between UBA and first bank .
Thanks

Hi, yes you can. However, I'm unable to confirm which bank offers the quickest service.

Ciao!

headofschool:
so you are saying I can initiate two form A application with one uni's acceptance offer in two different banks using trade system portal?

l answered to the question regarding proof of funds, not Form A.

Ciao!

Marioboyz:

@dduchess90
Hello,please is it only IOM that can be used for the student visa TB test cos there are other approved hospitals on the UK site,
Can those other hospitals be used as well and will the results be accepted?

There are other approved clinics. Use any of them you find on the UKVI website.

Ciao!

Hello @dduchess

This nsf was sent to a friend.
Below is the screenshot of the mail and the account statement.
Please what should be his response?

Hi, your friend will have to provide evidence of that payment. He should ensure to provide a tenable proof such as business transactional payment, self deposit of said sum in the account etc. Whatever he drops must be tenable beyond reasonable doubt. Remember that, the ECO is well trained to sniff any lies, just ensure to make it make sense.

Ciao!

dduchess90:
Hello

@No2: Yes please

You have the rest sorted


Cheers

Thank you very much for this.

Please guru's in the house help me i need to make tuition deposit in one month which of the bank is it advisable i process my form A to help me meet up with this deasline kindly help. Even if is for the process to be on and i message the school to inform them about the update but i need to knw which way to go to be faster. Please help me!!!

The 1 month is not feasible to be honest, even if you pay to fast track it. You are adviced to be open to buying from the black market or pay with form A and defer to the next admission date.

Ciao!

dduchess90:
Hello

It depends

1. If the MA is in the UK he/she will be presenting tuition receipt, rent, bills etc so far since his arrival plus the balance in his account

2.The duration can differ, ideally it should be minimum 1month, what some interesting ECOs ask for is POF evidence since the MAs application till date, if the MA has that then he/she can submit it.

3.A cover letter usually helps to clarify things.

Hope this helps

Let me know if you need more clarification and thank you for helping to respond to people on the thread too

Cheers

Thanks Duchess90 for the clarification as always.

1. MA is still in Nigeria.

2. MA has own POF in his account, although splitted in domicilliary and naira account. Should he submit both alongside that of the spouse?

3. The idea of cover letter is awesome. MA should attach, detailing his own and the spouse statements and any in-betweens. And maybe miscellaneous as well; such as relationship with the spouse, how long they have been together and more.

Thanks once again!

Hi duchess90, a quick question please; doing POF for the spouse, its been advised here on the thread to equally show bank statements of the MA to show at least that funds are not recycled. In this situation, is the MA equally to show a 28 day bank statements or closing balance only?

Thanks.

Marioboyz:
Hello everyone, is it safe to use Globus for Pof at this time ?. I just heard it's not too advisable so i wanted to confirm.

Where did you get that info from? You can use any commercial bank and meet up with required duration.

Good afternoon.
My boyfriend got admitted to do his masters at the university of Hull. I want to join him as a dependant, but we are having issues getting a marriage certificate, have gone to ministry of interior here in Port Harcourt they told me he has to be around so a marriage can officially be conducted, I tried explaining to them that he already traveled but they insist on him begin around. I would like to know of there is a way I can go about it.

Another thing is that he applied as single when he was applying to the school. Will this affect him in anyway?

If they insist he must be around, then he must be around. Court marriages in my opinion are not done in absentia. You might consider doing a traditional marriage.

And no, him indicating he was single at the time of application would not affect.

Ciao!
