@VOR
thank u 4 the advice, i have gone thru this thread that's why i was able to detect that i made a mistake by submitting a company's account.
if u understood my problem, then u should have noted that the ECO didnt mention that in his refusal.
My question to you which u have not answered is this, going by your comment that the ECO is under no obligation to contact my school, does it mean my case wont hold much water if i appeal?
Do you have any other advice for me?

@ Akolawole,
pls respond to my question

VOR:
The ECO is under no obligation to contact your school, sponsors or any other third party.
The ECO can in certain circumstances use his discretion to do this but he/she doesn't have to.
The obligation is always on the applicant to provide satisfactory evidence.

@VOR
thank u for your contribution. so if i am correct from your own perspective, its not advisable for me to appeal.
what do you advice i do?

@mrpakati, Thank u for your prompt reply.
You asked if the ECO stated in the letter of refusal that he had made efforts to contact the school about how genuine the letter was?
well, the ECO did not state if he made efforts to contact the school about how genuine the letter stating my fees was, i am sure he did not , because if he did he would have been told that the amount there was correct.
I am still waiting for u partner akolawole to reply to my problem.
So mrpakati, i m glad you think i have a good case,so if i appeal, what documents do you think i should submit to help with my case?
Can i file an appeal myself from here without hiring any Lagos lawyer , because i can see you guys do not advocate for such

@ akolawole
please i would love it if you comment on my peculiar issue before i go ahead to file an appeal. i have been talking with mrpataki and he has helped alot, but 2 good heads are better than one. pls reply, this is my story oncemore,

@ akolawole, vor, mrpataki , londoncool, funkybaby, and others.
I am here once more with a more detailed complaint.your help will be very well appreciated.
last week I was refused a student visa to the uk for my masters program., the reason for the refusal read thus………
‘’You stated that your uncle would be sponsoring your studies in the uk, you have submitted an acceptance letter from the university. This letter does not show how much your course is. I cannot access whether you have the funds for your studies without this information.
Following careful consideration of the documentary evidence provided, I am not satisfied on the balance of probabilities that you are able to meet the cost of the course and maintain and accommodate yourself without recourse to full time employment or public funds as required by paragraph 57[vii]’’

My dilemma is this, is this decision winnable on appeal, considering the fact that my offer letter didn’t actually bear the course cost, though a non letter headed paper showed the costs. If it is appelable , what should I do to ensure a successful appeal.

I am also scared of the following, though the ECO didn’t mention them.
. I submitted my uncle’s company account but with his personal statement,I didn’t submit his personal account, company registration, receipts,or letter of authority.
I am scared it might be used against me if I appeal.
Please i need help fast as i have barely a fortnight to appeal.
thank you

@ eryck.
the name of thr school is university of edinburgh.
i wrote them complaining about the letter they issued me. They are willing to send me another letter which would have the fees clearly stated.
My fear is whether the ECO's decision was wrong thereby making my case a good one or is it my school that is wrong . that's my dilemma

@mrpataki
thank you for your reply, but i am worried you are doubting my sincerity. i really need help so i cant be hiding anything. i posted what the ECO wrote on my refusal letter without keeping back any sentence.i found it also odd to have been refused based on the content of my admission letter only.i have never heard of such before and thot u guys might due to your vast knowledge.
You asked if an appeal letter was given to me? yes it was and that's why i am seeking your advice to know if my case will be worth appealing.
i am hear to answer any questions . thank you.
