When was your Biometric?
Do you printed your bank statement same day your POF entered or are they now requesting how applicants are getting POF.

This matter don dey cari muscle pass before ooo.
Merry Christmas everyone
This is the point I find confusing here...
Some people just come here and drop problems without stating clear details... How would they be asking for source of funds,, when many others have gotten Visas without going through that... If we check well now it could be millions were later paid in during the 28 days count or d printed date used was b4 d lump sum was deposited..Or it could even be dat d funds are outrageously higher than normal... Some of these could be d reason but they will not state it for clarity

I don’t think so
I have a friend that was also asked for his source of funds…no lump sum was shown in the bank statement he submitted for his application
I feel these are just random requests

I also have a friend whose brother graduated last year. He said they sent NSF to request the source of the money. Now he needs to show them money was transferred by Dad for sales of Asset.
The journey is now getting tougher my brother.

Anyone with inadequate tuition fees or living expenses should not even think about coming to UK again. The way schools sef go request tuition fees payment go fear person after arriving less than a month.

Father Lord have mercy...
But another reason they could ask for source of funds could be short year gap,,like someone graduated BSc 2 years ago,,now going for Master in UK,,they will not hesitate to ask for source of funds... There must be a reason why,,its not just random

Most people that have been coming here, definitely source of income is from family/friends.

Even person wey they born here and just graduated from University no fit get £25000 savings within 2yrs..
I guess they may be asking now as some students after arriving find it difficult to pay tuition fees as at when due

Make people sha prepare incase they ask them at airport ooo

Did Biometrics on Nov 19th for dependent visa

November 5 recieved empty NSF

November 9th recieved mail for additional documents.They said they couldn't reach bank that myself or bank should send documents to them.Meanwhile I reached out to bank and they said they did not recieve any email. I also noticed they said they they tried reaching Credit MFB and the bank I used is Baines Credit Mfb and I I itially submitted statement and reference letter.

Dec 10th. I sent updated Statement from Oct to dec 9th and an updated reference letter

Up till now I have not recieved any message from them...

When can one reach out to them
You can’t just use anyhow bank…it’s always best to use popular banks or check ukvi pof requirements first…some banks like First bank, wema, Gtb, UBA, stanbic etc are used to Immigration laws and requirements and also have dedicated compliance officers.

UKVI’s decision‑making is a mix of risk‑scoring, the officer’s gut, and what docs you actually hand in. If the paperwork looks tight—clear proof of funds, a solid employment/ study record, a good‑looking CAS—they’ll often just push the visa through. A 2‑year gap only raises a flag if something looks off or if the officer decides to dig deeper. Sometimes they just pick a few cases for extra checks, sometimes they don’t. So it’s not that they’re being unfair. it’s just based on luck and how clean your file looks.

Someone that got his first degree 2 years ago is very well unlikely to raise 50-60mil to study in UK unless he's been sponsorsed by parents... All of that complicates d visa process for such a person

So in summary,,, everyone studying in UK must depend on some sort of loan somewhere or sale of family property...Even children with Nigerian parents in UK don't have £20K kept somewhere without loan... They should just let us rest and not disturb us too much with d financial bulabas 🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️

If our country gud, wetin person won come do here. Person can easily go to a good private university in 9ja which cost less than £500 a year.
How many Europeans even come they do Msc for UK and showing such amount in their banks.

Average rent for student na £500 monthly.
To live with £300 monthly na miracle.
Baba God won't forsake his children.

Why would spend anything close to £300 a month as a student after rent?

Let’s even assumed that you spent £100 on transport , so you spent £200 on shopping a month, you don’t cook? Or you rely on takeaway?

Noo, I didnt print when the money entered. I don't know why the question was asked.
The matter don dey strong now ooo.
They are even questioning people wey graduated less than 5yrs randomly what they have been doing after graduating.

How them expect people to save or self sponsor with £30k in a country lyk 9ja wey minimum wage is less than #100k monthly.

Just provide them with proof and I can guarantee you will be given.

Hi good morning guys,

I need assistance regarding picking between OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY & SOCIAL WORK...

I'd be grateful if I can get important information regarding the courses especially from the newly intake?
So as to help me to know which one to apply for

HELP PLEASE,
I did biometrics earlier this month and got a mail for additional documents proving source of funds on the 13th working day. I responded the 3rd day, and I haven't gotten any reply. I was told it's only 2 working days to get a response after additional documents submition.

Please if you have been through this before or know someone who had similar experience, please tell me what to do. The wait is tormenting and difficult.
D easiest u can do is prepare a family property document and tell Dem u or ur father sold it to gather funds... U will need to produce a Deed of transfer document for the property...

Sorry!! go with d priority visa of £500... Premium lounge is for fast biometrics appointment...

In my humble opinion,,I will advice u to wait till May or September 2026... Any priority visa now will be seen as desperation

Best way is to first resolve why he gets rejected always.
Secondly is to apply for May session or September. Get his POF running for months and enough working experience.

UK hardly reject people sef compared to other countries wey dey serve students breakfast 💔

I have 2 visa refusals (1 last year uk visit) (1 July 2025 for studies in Ireland)

To be sincere… I don’t see anything in trying a different
country for studies for a different year.

Anyways I’m still waiting and hoping on God…i really hope I get my visa next week…on God
