Hi all,pls need help wt getting a collapsible plinth to naija from UK weighs 9kg according to ama
zon.Anyone coming in soon wt baggage allowance to spare?Its kind of urgent pls Or any idea of an affordable/cheap means of getting it down here? Sorry to deviate

justwise:


You shouldn't have done that, a deposit is all you needed to do, the British embassy will only accept maximum of about £1000 as deposit for accommodation. You still have to show maintenance money though £1000 less(have to check the actual figure)

OMG, thanks for the reply. I was trying to hedge against the fx fluctuations and Government's plan to remove Education from the fx list. So it means I have to still hold £4,400 in my account?

Take away 1,265 from your maintenance money then the remaining is what you need to present

Hello @justwise and everyone here, I have been refused a tier 4 student visa ( got the refusal letter on thursday 25th february) for not being a genuine student.
The 3 reasons given by the ECO were not fair at all

- He said that I just stated "london" when they asked where will you live in UK , but I asked to the two interviewers who were taking not at the VAC if it is about my adress they said NO. Then I replied that I will live in london. I have submitted a tenancy of an accomodation with my application. He said that I gave a simplistic answer.

-Second: He said that I stated that I haven't considered other courses or institutes in the UK. But the interviewers didn't ask about institutes and I have choosen to do an MBA well before deciding to come to UK, it is directly linked to my bachelor degree (BBA).during the interview I gave reasons why I have choosen this particular institution.

-third: He said that there is no activity in the acount and no evidence or explanation has been provided to prove the origin of my funds. But the previous deposits were made befor the 28 days in my bank statement and I have provided my brother's payslips, annual income, employment letter to prove origin of fund.

So all the 3 reasons were wrong, can you please help me because I don't know what to do!!!
I was awarded 40 points !

Ok. Thanks

Pls how is application document verified?

Hello guys/Justwise, my visa was refused on 25th January because I used my uncle's account without any court document as proof that he is my legal guardian(I don't have any certificate of adoption). I have gotten the required maintenance funds into my personal account and the 28 days of holding matures by 4th of march after which I intend to reapply. But I have 2 concerns;

1. It's my salary account and the only activity within this 28days period is the payment of my February salary into the account. I had 1.5m before now and I got 1.2m into the account to meet up the required balance. This was done within 2 days before I started counting my 28 days. How many days ADVISABLY should my statement reflect, the 28days only? or more? (considering the sudden deposit of 1.2m which I think could attract probe)
2. While filling my online form, do I need to mention/give an explanation as to why I am no longer using my uncle or just wait to be asked at the interview.

Am being so meticulous because I understand that chances of getting a visa after a refusal is slimmer as more probe is usually done for previously refused applicants.
Kindly lend me your CANDID advice/opinion please.

Where is your school located?

In london, near london bridge

I have prepared something for the administrative review , please can you tell me if it is good:

- I was asked about my interest for other courses in UK and I said that I have not considered other courses while planning to come to UK because I already knew what program I will do for the master when I started my bachelor courses in Senegal and it is directly linked to my bachelor courses. Furthermore I had very good reasons to choose this particular course and institution as well and I gave explanations during the interview. I have not been asked about other institutions during the interview.

-I don't agree with the second reason because I know exactly where I planned to live in UK. I have provided a tenancy of an accommodation where I plan to live.During the interview I asked if the question was about the adress and the two interviewers replied "NO" then I said london, thinking they were asking about the city. I know exactly the travel requirements to the college because I have done many researches and asked also to my friends living in London. I couldn't reply to a question that has not been asked or guess it.

- This is a saving account and I don't use it for any purposes other than my expected studies in United Kingdom. Previous deposits were made before the statement that I have submitted and further checks can be made to verify. I have provided my brother's financial documents and employment information in support of my application to prove the origin of funds in my bank account as he is funding me.

I truly believe that there was misunderstanding during my interview and that I am a genuine student because I meet all the requirements and I have done all the necessary reseaches for my studies in United Kingdom.

1. Just 28days

2. Explain that if asked during the interview

...
@all..... In the CAS statement, is english language certificate a requirement for visa application?
What if your school waved it because you choose english as your first language and language of instruction?

Thank you for the reply. I have additional questions:
-About the courses and other instituion do you think I have better to put the title my bachelor course ( bachelor in business admistration) to say that it is in the same field that the MBA that I intend to do is relevent?

-They didn't ask about other institutes during the course , is it enough if I say it wasn't asked and I didn't talk about that during the interview?

- About the question where will you live: Can I add that I have provided the same adress on my online application, TB test and tenancy. And also if they replied NO when I asked if it is about the adress then I couldn't talk about the accomodation ?

It will be very helpful for me to have your answer because I want to send a good AR! If I send it early it will be beneficial for me right?

@Liloupazzo... What is the name of the school? You can't just say near London bridge. I guess your answers weren't clear enough during the interview.

You don't need to add all that because the ECM will go through all the documents you submitted for the initial application. All that info is available ready with them
