Visa Alert! Visa Alert!!

Here is my timeline:


July 23rd: Applied to Uni of Sunderland

July 26th: Got a Conditional offer

July 27th or 28th: Got a mail from the school of high volume of application. Need to be fast to meet conditions to get CAS.

Na so I begin dey ask questions for Nairaland, read and watch YouTube videos about UK visa.

1st week of August: Got conditional offer from Uni of Bedfordshire.

Now left with the option to choose between Uni of Sunderland or Bedfordshire. Na so I begin make research oh..! To avoid the long talk, I settled for Sunderland. I pray I don’t regret it. Amen!
Paid intial deposit £3,500

Part of the school conditions was POF. I begin bombard questions here on Nairaland if it’s possible to use my mom who stays in Canada with Canadian account as sponsor. All I was getting was “yes na! Yes I can!!”

September 6th: With fear, I started POF using my mom Canadian bank account. She as my sponsor. People were telling me, they might reject me that I will have high chance of approval if I use my account or still collect loan and run POF. Me wey dey manage insisted I will use her as sponsor. Nairaland wey tell me hn possible no dey lie!!

September 28th: TB test. School served me mail that Project Management is now first come first serve due to high volume of application at TB center Ikeja. I wan cry after filling school address at tb center.

October 4th: This date is the 28th day for the POF. I printed exactly on the 28th day. Immediately after print out of statement, lump sum was withdrawn way below the required funds needed for POF. After my displeasure of the transaction, the money was deposited back that same day. That was when my fear arose the more if UKVi will detect this.

October 5th: Submitted the statement for CAS. Na so school start there own with first page doesn’t carry stamp, 2nd page doesn’t carry bank logo. One of the team of Sunderland immigration compliance team had to tell me why can’t I tell my mom to send the funds to my account here to use as POF the UKVI might reject this statement. I explained if she does that, if I get to Uk, I will still need to transfer the money over there too which will spoil the money due to high exchange flunctuation. She agreed to that but still claims they can’t accept my mom statement because UKVI May reject my visa.
Then fear set in. I was like Shebi Nairaland said we can use any of the parents account regardless of the currency as sponsor.
I started pressing on them with calls. I wasted lot of cards calling. Different team were picking with different opinions.
After much pressing they forwarded it there manager. Got a mail from the manager to get bank letter of active account claiming the statement can be used.

October 6th: The bank manager no wan release bank letter claiming why can’t they accept the statement. He be like this is Canadian bank that that statement is accepted anywhere. Spoke to him on the phone with mail screenshot from the school claiming just a letter for confirmation it’s active. Canadian English different from Uk own. Ah swear I no even dey hear wetin the bank manager dey talk for phone. Had to beg him for it.
Drafted it, submitted that same day, Sunderland ImmigrationCompliance team continued with there behavior again after calls on calls. God answered my prayer when I called around 3pm, the call went straight to there manager Lynne, within 2mins she acknowledged everything with my consent letter and birth certificate. That same evening CAS dropped.

To apply for visa kan dey scare me because of the immigration compliance team thinking if they were UKVI, na straight rejection and the huge lump sum withdrawn exactly on the 28th day after the printing of POF statement.

So I open my system, used corelldraw carry the bank stamp in page 2 of my statement to the page one and logo on page 1 to page 2.

Good morning all, I have been refused visa twice to the UK.
First was in 2018. We applied as a family to attend a niece's wedding. All of us were denied. However, my wife and daughter reapplied for the same wedding trip and were given visa.
I did not reapply due to work. Reason for my refusal was that I did not provide evidence of my financial state. (My pension account was used instead of my regular account. I wasn't really around during the application)
This year I decided on going for a short vacation to UK during my annual leave. My plan was to use the opportunity to assess the 3 universities that offered me admission for a Master program. Had planned the trip for the 3rd to the 10th of October this year. I did my biometrics on 23rd August but a refusal email was sent on the 19th of October. Reason is that I did not explain funds that entered my account. But the fact is that I did.
I don't know how these may affect my application for my student visa which I am processing now. I'll love advice on how to go about my application. My offer is for January 2023. I have passed my PreCAS interview waiting to process my CAS.
Kind regards

With a clear details explanation it should be fine and have no negative impact on your student application. Good luck.

Congratulations

Hello

UKVI will only officially close for approved bank holidays, so 26th and 27th December

There may be reduced working capacity if staff wants to take the remaining annual leave and don't want to accrue them but the team should be able to balance the workload and who gets to take some annual leave

In summary, slow response perhaps but not closed except bank holidays

Cheers

Hello

A church certificate can be used

Yes, it can. I am more focused on some church certificates...Better safe than sorry... Some church certificates are questionable. That's why I said there are churches at every corner.

If it is signed and stamped. I think so

Hello

Study visa is point based , as long as your documents are authentic, and you meet the required points it should be fine

Please declare your refusals and the reasons in the relevant section during your application and apply normal.

Writing a cover letter to explain previous refusal is completely optional and tbh doesn't add much to your application

It might be useful to go to the US thread to ask for help

Dreamsss:


Oh thanks for responding. I am using Wes because I am applying to schools through the SOPHAS centralized system, which is a system that most public health programs (in US) use. I remember adding only SOPHAS as a recipient but I did not pay an extra cash, so I don't know if it was sent. I look at the list of recipients now and I see only myself as the recipient (by default) who has been mailed a report and I'm confused, because I don't want to waste time if I have to pay for it to be sent and I don't want to pay twice for a service (if the first recipient does not require any extra payment).

Good day house,
Please I need your help and answers to my question.
A.
I got conditional offers from university of Hull and Bournemouth university, both for January 2023.

University of Hull

Conditions is English qualification and bachelor degree transcript.

So I uploaded my NECO certificate and my unofficial transcript.
I have put a call through to the admission team and they confirmed they have received my documents but they are yet to make a decision.
Question.
1. My NeCO is 2008, I hope it's acceptable by university of Hull.
2. While I am waiting for the unconditional offer, is It advisable to pay the tuition deposit of 4000£, this one that exchange rate is increasing.
3. What is there refund policy, let's say i didnt later settle for them.


Bournemouth university
Conditions: English Qualification and Payment of Tuition. 3000£

I have uploaded my NECO certificate as well and I haven't gotten any response
Question:

1.Please is there anyone here that has been through this stage or knows anyone or anyone here that can explicitly explain their process.
2. What can I do to get the unconditional offer or can I go ahead and pay the deposit.
3. If I pay the deposit what are my chances of getting CAS in quick time.


B.
I also applied to Glasgow Caledonian university last week for January 2023.
I have not gotten an admissionm
Please what are my chances of getting admission decision quick and also things I need to do to get their CAS asap.

Thanks
I will be expecting your advices and comments

For someone who is going as single, but planning to get married shortly after and have their spouse apply as dependant, 'NO' should still be selected below right?

Emma549:

3. What is there refund policy, let's say i didnt later settle for them.

For many schools, once you pay deposit, only UNSUCCESSFUL VISA application can be reason for refund
You can put a call through or check their website for their specific refund policy

I also applied to Glasgow Caledonian university last week for January 2023.
I have not gotten an admission
Please what are my chances of getting admission decision quick and also things I need to do to get their CAS asap.

Thanks
I will be expecting your advices and comments

Barely two months into the intended start date of the course and no admission offer yet? You will be putting yourself under extreme time pressure if the admission were to come later(which is not guaranteed). 1 bird at hand is worth much more than 100 in the bush
The reason people apply to more than several sch is to increase their chances, if this is solely for Japa, you should not be too emotionally attached to any sch

Bournemouth university
Conditions: English Qualification and Payment of Tuition. 3000£

I have uploaded my NECO certificate as well and I haven't gotten any response
Question:

1.Please is there anyone here that has been through this stage or knows anyone or anyone here that can explicitly explain their process.
2. What can I do to get the unconditional offer or can I go ahead and pay the deposit.
3. If I pay the deposit what are my chances of getting CAS in quick time.

Find and Join for telegram or WhatsApp group for Bournemouth, your questions can be answered. But you ain't getting no unconditional offer if you don't pay that 3k
