Hello My Form A application is currently on ADB Disbursement Reviewer Stage (GT Bank). I haven't gotten any debit alert whatsoever but I just saw on my bank app that my "current balance" is short 3,033,582.68 from the "book balance" (the transaction is 9241.93 cad. Does this mean GT bank is about to complete the transaction?

Please I have a 7 years study gap. I officially started working for the past five years and I have a reference letter from my employer already to back up the last 5 years. I do not have any single evidence to show what I was doing for the previous 2 years. Please is this a red flag or am I good to go with my 5 years reference letter?

Hello,

You have to really address this issue.

Your cover letter should be very solid and convincing,

Confirm you have received their request to provide documents and state however you have been a full time stay home mom since you gave birth to your kids,explain how long and why you chose this path, explain how your husband has been incharge of the expenses and link all that to why you have now

decided to go for Masters.

This is going to be tough one but I believe being honest is better.

Thinking of any additional document you might need, if any I will add more

@Giselle237 and @Mimilyrics what do you think? Is there anything else you can suggest?

Cheers

Thanks a lot. I very much appreciate this. I will do just that.

giselle237:
yes explanation of childbirth and pregnancy is very okay… she can not be discriminated on those grounds. Then the other suggestions you made re husband’s support. Yup. She just needs to say it and if possible explain why she has decided to go to studies now

Okay. Thank you.

Okay thanks

Ask your question, many here have used it for same purpose.

My question is how I can get the exchange rate for £ to $ used by Batter for the IHS & visa payments. This is to enable me fund my Batter $ account with sufficient fund for the payments.
For example, my visa & IHS payment is £1,086 and I intend to pay today, how do I know the exact $ amount for this.
I initially thought that I'll convert the £1,086 to $ using Oanda = $1,333.02 and then buy $ on Batter app at today's rate of ₦610 making it ₦813,142.2 until someone pointed out that it's the interbank rate that will be used.
Anyone who knows better should educate me please.

For the sake of people in similar situation, isn't it better the funds remains in the partners account and he writes a financial consent letter than he transfering the money to the student's? I believe that will kind of eliminate or reduce the tendency of them probing more on the students ability to fund themselves or the source of the funds in the account.

Please can you explain what you meant by not meeting English criteria C4

Newbie123:


They said I didn't meet the English criteria which was a C4.

Meanwhile I got a B3 so I asked that the look at my application and documents again

Hello,

This particular situation is not for finance it is for study gap

So it doesn't really apply

Cheers

Hello house,

I just got an unconditional offer for a msc degree starting in September 2022, however, my passport will expire by February 2023(i.e 5 months after resumption)..

Will the soon to be expired passport hinder visa processing?

duchess90:
Hello,

Is this resolved? Try to logout and back in or change browser

Cheers

Thanks this is the new error,it's well ooo

Thanks sir

1.No because funds have been transferred to your account

2. No,same reason as above

3. If it is the company you worked and it is same on your CV then yes

4. Evidence of maintenance (bank statement) and basically anything your CAS ask you to

Cheers

Instead of buying $1,333.02 worth of dollars buy at lest $1500 so that it can cover the cost irrespective of what rate is used by the visa/IHS payment processor.

buy 1340…this should work perfectly.. bcaus barter ppl anything left when you want to withdraw, they’ll not give you back at the rate they collected ie.. they took at rate 610… whatever is left if you want to withdraw they’ll exchange to you at 595-598

Thanks for the response but does it mean that I am correct ?

Yes you are correct. You can't predict the exact exchange rate between the dollar and the pound, just ensure you have above what you got from oanda to make up for any shortfall if the exchange rate goes up, you have nothing to lose. All the best.

How long did this take?

Hi dochess90

If you forgot to upload a document using assisted service, how do you contact UKVI to upload that document?

Anyone else can give an insight on this please.

Thanks
