What are the implications of applying for a tier 4 visa a week before your course start date as stated in your CAS? Is there any possibility of you being denied the visa?

worry359:


There is always a possibility of being denied.
Then it will depend on how long it takes to process and receive your visa, book tickets and travel.
Better to get a letter from your school allowing you to join slightly late.
Have this to show at POE.

Hi house,
I had my visa appointment since on the 5th August and on the 9th August I got his email from VISAINFO.SHEFO
"Your online application has been received in Sheffield, UK. Your application is currently being prepared for consideration by an Entry Clearance Officer." But till today I am yet to receive any email stating my visa application decision.
Does it take this long to get a visa decision from the Sheffield visa section?
I'm worried coz the date of traveling is quite close.

No latest start date. Only a latest completion date.

How about applying two weeks to start date using the standard priority application? My 28days count will end on the 7th of September and start date is 26th of september. I intend applying for visa and tb test between 12th and 16th. If i apply for priority visa application, hope i don't stand a chance of being denied bearing in mind start date which is 26th.

Thank you for the info. Is priority(in terms of speedy approval of visa) given to those who previously studied in UK?

icebot:
Thanks worry359,elope and whatamidoinghere. I will contact my school for more advice and at the same time apply for the priority service when making my application.

mcstar:

I also applied on the 4th and got the same mail. Don't be worried. Just wait for the 15 working days. I guess it's because this is a peak period and they have so many applications to process

soulhighman:

elope:

Hello guys,

I am presently in shock as result of the giant downward path Naira has embarked on. I have kept maintenance money in my account for more than 3 months now. Each time my 28 days counting is about to complete the Naira will slide further. Last Friday was the latest one, from N419 it moved downward to N449 and now N445.

At this point, my school resumes on 26th Sept I just have to apply now. Please I will like to know if there is anyone who has experienced this situation before and applied like that.

Please share your experience with me here.

Thank you.

has anyone experienced this?

Please house, I applied online on the 10th of August at the rate of 1pound to 419.142 naira and I had enough money then but I just checked now and it's almost 450+ to one pound which exceeds my balance(I calculated with 440). Please will this affect my application in anyway? Cc justwise
My interview was on the 12th of August.

I don't think there's anything to worry about.
I applied on Wednesday 17th August and not bordered about the current rate cos the UKVI said there use the exchange rate of the day of submission.
Experts please confirm or correct my comment.

My dear if u havent submitted ur bank statement to d uni for issuance of CAS then would advice u pay some more tuition deposit to the school and tell them to update it on your cas so that the tuition fee balance left in ur account would be reduced if the fluctuation has really affected your balance. Wishing u all the best.

House, I just found out a trick about predicting exchange rate on Oanda. Oanda uses the average or mean fluctuations of the previous day to arrive on their selling rate. In case you have not applied, you can go to Xe or download the app. Whatever is their lowest and highest rate today will be reflected on Oanda tomorrow. That was how I made my prediction before my application. Remember to put ur closing balance in Naira on the left side as the currency you have and check the equivalent on the right as the currency you want. If you do otherwise, you'll get a different value. All the best.
