Lheman:
Good morning everyone, pls I have a few questions again;
(1) Can I submit my statement of result (certificate is not ready yet) and unofficial transcripts when applying for the UK student visa?

(2) Can I book an appointment for the Tuberculosis test while the 28-days is still being counted?

Your swift and vital responses will be highly appreciated.
You're to submit only what your CAS says you should submit, what you're to submit is contain in your CAS statement.
Yes, you can book appointment for tuberculosis test while you're counting you 28days

This is what I noticed.

The balance of the last transaction of 8th May 2021 will the opening balance when you print from 9th May to say 8th of June
yes, it will be 9th of May opening balance, but what should be important is the closing balance for that 8th of April, if the account close for 8th of April with the required funds captured, then, that is day 1

I have a bit of a problem that needs clarification.

So I made the last lodgement of my POF on the 8th of April to Zenith bank it however reflected on the 9th .

When printing my bank statement I printed from the 8th of April to the 6th of May.

Please note that no transaction reflected on the 8th of May the transaction I did on the 8th reflected on the 9th.

This is the bank statement I sent to school to issue my CAS.

I have already made my application.

Whilst discussing with a friend who is already in the UK sometime last week she told me the bank statement I submitted is 27days and not 28th day please guys from the above illustration given is this so?

I have had sleepless nights since then.

Because I sent same bank statement to school and they didn’t see any issues with it and issued me CAS.

@Justwise and everyone other guru please help look at this and let me know if what my friend said is true.

My heart is paining me because I tried to do even right to the best of my ability I even paid full tuition��
Hello bro, I noticed same issue when I tried printing my POF for practice sake, the deposit I made on April 30 was reflected on may 1st, so what I did was to go to the bank and ask them to print for me, because in my case, I mailed the POF to my mail, but when they printed for me at the bank, it was shown. Let's try something, mail your statement to your mail for April 7 to April 8, let's see if the closing balance for that day will reflect that a deposit was made, if it does, then you're safe according to me, my opinion though, because it's the closing balance for that day that will determine if that day's POF amount was satisfied I stand to be corrected though, can't know it all

No now!!!!

The App is very clear on its usage: THE CURRENCY YOU HAVE Vs THE CURRENCY YOU WANT

So you have Naira and want GBP (Pounds Sterling)
Boss, the way me understand the thing is that the conversion should be from pounds to Naira, because, you know your maintenance money+tuition balance=£mmtb, so it's for you to input the £mmtb in pounds field and it will automatically generated what you need in Naira, this is the accurate way I know, it can't be Naira to pounds, because you don't even know what you need in naira and that's why you're on that page to input what you know you need in pounds so that they can generate for you what you need in naira. I stand to be corrected though.
N:B mm: Maintenance money
TB: Tuition balance in my above comment

also, I want to support what someone here suggested, this is because I was studying my statement and I was able to support what the person said earlier, may be it doesn't matter o, but, being careful almost always pay, if you deposited your funds for 28 days count say Saturday May 29,2021, when you're printing your statement in June, I suggest you print from May 30,2021 to June 26,2021, the reason is because if you print to include May 29, your opening balance for that day will be what it was before you made your deposit, though they should be considering closing balance for that day o, but what if someone forgot to, so it's just a suggestion Note the above instance was for 28 days o
TravelRe: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered Part 5 by Optimally: 5:03pm On May 29, 2021
Abeg, I want to practice with my statement to see if my little understanding of how the account should be balance is correct and I will crave everyone's indulgence to try and go through your statement before submitting it for application
TravelRe: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered Part 5 by Optimally:
Sammybliss23:
Please, explain o. Which one is closing balance and paid out fund and they must tally? How do we calculate/ get this one?. Secondly maintenance fee (outside London) has it been increased to 9207pounds?. I don't understand,
Paid out funds and closing balance is not something we should've been concern about if we believe in our banking system and their professionalism, paid out funds are the withdrawals made on the account either over the counter, ATM, cheque, transfer, etc, while closing balance is the difference between the sum of opening balance+cash inflow-paid out funds ((opening balance+cash inflow)-paid out funds), all things being equal, and the opening balance should also always be the sum of the closing balance+inflow-paid out funds, if any of these is up by a naira or down by a naira, that will suggest the POF is not genuine or has been tempered with, So in this case, when the individual paid out funds after been sum up were subtracted from the opening, what was arrived at was different from what was printed as the closing balance. Yes, the maintenance money for outside London now £1,023 monthly and £9,207 for nine months I stand to be corrected though. The matter has been cleared, na Bank make mistake of not including SMS alert as paid out funds

So how did the embassy managed to get details of the original bank statement if banks don't disclose current balance?
boss, I am not saying banks don't disclose balance o, *Banks do disclose balance especially when you have the necessary documents and authorization asking them to do so* what I said above was that someone doctored the statement of account the bank issued them

Toyinfabs:
So a whole commercial bank confirmed a fake statement?
I don't think that is the case, I think they gave out the original statement but someone altered it before submitting it. Though anything is possible in our Nigeria system but these statements are auto generated and it's hard for spreadsheet to make error during automation I would say

Simplicity0555:
Ukvi says checks from bank came out positive but still said it’s not genuine. Me I don’t understand again ooo.
What could have happened in this case?
Justwise
Check with the bank came back positive because the money was there as at the time of their check, but they're saying the statement is not genuine because the account is not balance as a result of the difference in closing balance and paid out funds, and generally speaking, if that statement was not tempered with, nothing should have made paid out funds and closing balance not to tally when calculated, if it doesn't tally, account is not balanced and that suggest alterations of some kind.

If you're within the bank vicinity, I will suggest you go back to the rep that processed it and explain to them how urgent it is and also tell them that from a friend's experience, after FX is bought, it's just a Mata of hrs and payment is made, so why is your own taking longer than expected
yispa:
I don't have the app. I tried setting it up some months back but got stocked at a point and left it. In fact I didn't collect ATM card for that particular account. The Forex was bought on Thursday, which I got an alert for the Naira debit and another for the Forex credit that very day. Since then I have not gotten any other alert
TravelRe: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered Part 5 by Optimally: 2:18am On May 24, 2021
The Telex should have been ready one or two days later, because what I noticed in my case was that once you're debited, it means they've bought the FX, so what's left is to make the payment using the FX bought to your account to pay your beneficiary which is like doing a transfer to your beneficiary bank, but this can only be done by then, if I may ask, can you now see the FX bought in your Zenith app when you log in?
yispa:
Thanks Optimally for your advise on Form A two weeks ago. I used Zenith and was debited last week Thursday (5 working days). I am yet to get my telex, I was at the branch the following day (last Friday) and I was giving a debit advise instead. Do you have any idea how may days it takes for the telex to be ready with Zenith?

If for any reason once application isn't successful, most schools normally do a refund to same account that made the deposit

Thank you very much. I had unconditional offer already and I’ve paid for the tuition deposit. I’m at the point of filling a form for CAS..... I just want to know if I declared Yes that I’ve been denied before I won’t stand a chance of losing my deposit fee if unfortunately I was not given CAS?
TravelRe: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered Part 5 by Optimally: 6:41pm On May 22, 2021
Declare yes, you were refuse a visa before doesn't mean you won't get a UK Visa, it's part of the whole process, if you lie and it's found out during visa review process, it can delay you getting a decision on time and even sometimes lead to another refusal
bobogee007:
Hi gurus, please I need a sincere advise cos I’m kinda afraid of taking a wrong step. I’m trying to fill a form to request for my CAS after paying initial deposit of 2k and I was asked if I’ve been denied a visa before and sincerely speaking I’ve been denied a student visa to Canada before due to bad representation my an agent. So I decided to do this UK application myself, so I’m being asked if I’ve been denied a visa before. Should I just pick yes or no because I’ve paid the deposit before and I don’t want to lose my chance of getting the CAS.......pls your advise is very important cos I don’t want to make a wrong choice
