@okolodaniel,

You were not required to submit financial statement. Deakin University is an AL1 assessment. But stay calm most likely they will overlook the statement submitted and concentrate on the required documents you submitted.

WestAfrican:
I understand all you have said. Usually, immigration read huge sum of money in an account as money lodgement.
Like I earlier said you may want to summit the 32m fixed deposit statement with a letter attached to it stating how and why the money got there.

If she has received some interest on the maturity of that FD in the past, it will be nice to attach it as well. Australia doesn't ready have one on one interview, your documents speak for you. Also make sure you certify that 32m FD before attaching it.

WestAfrican:
Ya you have submitted the bank statement to start with. Well these immigration guys look at the inflow and out flow of cash in your bank statement and if there has been any money lodgement within the last 6 months and how often they occurred.

If the remaining balance was 12m and your sponsor had 13m means they will be left with 1m. Does your sponsor have a family she is looking after or rather dependent on her? How is the flow of money in and out of her account?

I strongly suggest you print, certify and upload the statement of her 32m business fixed deposit and write a short note explaining how the money came about.

boko_halal: To Master JustWise, DonXavier, Dharkchild, Kunlewoye, FutureDon, Charles E and other screen names I can't recall, I'm short of words to say thank you o. I have never experienced the kind of peace I enjoyed on this thread on NL.

My visa was ready in 13 working days. When I got to VFS to collect it, my anxiety was so palpable, I even sat down and tried opening the document-containing envelope right there but was directed to look at a notice above that warned not to. I got outside and opened it, there it was--my visa!

I have booked my British Airways flight for Sunday 16th Sept.

Thank you all

Atlantis85: *sigh* 12 days more and I've been mentally going over what I submitted to be sure I did all I was supposed to do. Here's all I submitted:

1. Print-out of mail showing CAS number/unconditionl offer letter
2. Documents stated in CAS: Degree cert and ielts trf
3. 7200 in personal bank statement: had lil less than 7200 before 1st august but got total 7200 on 1st and I printed out on 3rd( stamp date was 3rd sept), tho last transaction registered 29th august. Main depositors were my mum and dad but my aunt (diff surname) paid in 400k (after I alrdy had my balance)
4. Mail correspondence between me and the school asking for extension.
5. Oanda conversion print-out for 3rd sept
6. I had paid full school fees and it was stated in cas.

Did I miss anything out pls?

Donxavier: So I got into the UK today hassle free. I have heard countless stories of how scrutiny at Heathrow is really tight and all that. I was pretty surprised when the border officer just asked for my passport, asked if I was a first time student, gave me a first time student form to fill and stamped me in.As simple as that. Even my cousin that came for me was pretty surprised that I was done pretty quickly. No questions were asked me, he didn't even ask for my admission letter or CAS statement.

I love the UK I must say and that's how Nigeria should be hadn't it been that we are cursed with bad leadership. Anyway, will spend the next few days adjusting and shopping before I find my way to Aberdeen by weekend.

For the contract blackberry I intend to get, Can I use my cousin's address or must I use my own address when I secure my accommodation? Will I have to prove that I live there...someone please help me out? what are the requirements for getting a contract phone?

Cheers.

okolodaniel: Please those people who didn't book school accomodation before travelling, where did u put as your contact address in the UK on the landing card?

steph7: its going back to vfs, expect it on monday, u applied on the 16th rite?n this wait is annoying, I applied 14th, no news yet, where did u apply ?

justwise:

Even if you did not attach the passport you will still be ok, because you were 12 yrs of age at that time, you can't be hold responsible for the refusal but you did the right thing by giving the little info you have about it.
