if your reasons was based on funds, you can re-apply then use super priority after correcting the reason.

I had my points for both maintenance and CAS 40points.

My full tuition has been paid as well as sufficient amount for maintenance.

THE BESTEST SOLUTION IS TO ALWAYS MAKE SURE YOU HAVE MUCH ABOVE THE MINIMUM AMOUNT IN YOUR ACCOUNT.
AT LEAST, HAVE 2% ABOVE THE REQUIRED MAINTENANCE FEES.

THANK YOU

I do not believe that, not even a single person since 2009? They all had a meeting and decided to keep quiet? Your case is the first and you shouldn't use it to generalize.

I still maintain that one can not keep on topping up maintenance money each time exchange rate goes up.

Well, my write up is just a fora to help would be applicants in such situation. I strongly believe prevention is better than cure. If you believe I'm the first that would get rejected based on that then I concur... but note that @bane001 also said he knows someone that got a refusal based on that...

Tush1986,

By how much ( in £) did the money in your account drop due to the rise in rates?

My friend was in that predicament like I said but got refused for a different reason, which was a mistake by the ECO. The rise in exchange rates caused the money she was holding in Naira to drop by just £50 below the required. I hardly think that's a reason to decline someone a visa.

The day the 28 day count started, the amount in Naira was about £1000 more than required.

It's out of the applicant's control; one can't keep making payments and updating cas every week. they too should know this.

Abuja, priority

I went to pick up my visa today ...... I was denied visa. I checked the reason for refusal and it came from the disparity in the dates. I started counting from the time when the money entered into the account (27th july-23 aug). I paid for piority service and applied for my visa on the 25th of aug, I got a mail that it has been received on the 28th of aug. I didnt hear anything again and had to call on the 13th of sept. I also called again on the 20th and was told no decision yet, I was asked if I wanted to escalate which I accepted. I got an email yesterday (21/09/2017) dat decision had been made and I just picked it up some few hrs ago (22/09/2017) . The reason for refusal is solely my fault which I admit. The eco statement says I didnt hold the money for up to 28days, which means I shd have started counting from the 28th of july and not 27th when the money entered into the account.I hope this will help someone out there too wanting to apply for visa. Pls double check ur date n if u r not sure pls ask some one and be sure. Thanks

27 July - 23 Aug is 28 days. The mistake is from them.

I put money in my account on the 13th of July, printed on the 9th of August and submitted.

The money was IN your account for 28 days and nights. They made a mistake.

I got my visa. Paid for priority too.

File for an administrative review.

This will definitely help some one.

Here is what I always do:

Even though the money should be held 28 days, I STRONGLY suggest that anyone applying should make it at LEAST 35 - 40 days before submitting the application.

I am confused right now. I called the country representative so she cud check the eco statement and she said I made a mistake and dat I shdnt have started counting from the day the money entered into the account, that I shd have started counting from the next day till the 28th day. Pls how do I go abt the administrative review. Pls *justwise* can you also help me confirm too dat the mistake came from them so dat I knw whether to reapply or go for d administrative review.


I have attached the eco statement too.

Enter your dates there.

Sorry about the visa refusal.. I read through the thread and also asked the same question before I applied.. the eco are interest with the opening balance reflecting at the top not the day u deposited. After you deposit the opening balance would reflect the next day. You start your count from the next day after depositing.
I don't think administrative review would with becos its your mistake not the eco's.
But all is well..
Pls for others applying always ask questions, no question is stupid when your visa is at stake..

I just had to sign up to answer you. If I'm not mistaken, I think @justwise and @mimilyrics mentioned same to either @ Sleyflash or @Question1.
Your administrative review will still come back with the same result. This is because according to how bank statements function, the 1st day after your deposit is when the money starts counting as officially being in your account.
Your opening account for the 27th was your previous balance. Only your opening balance on the 28th reflected the deposit so your count should have started on the 28th. You had the money in your account for 27 days before printing.
If the money is still intact in your account and you still have time, ask your school for a new CAS and print your statement from when you submitted your previous application till let's say Tuesday (if you're submitting a new application on Tuesday) and use super priority if possible.
Explain your error in counting.
Seeing that the money was untouched all through will be proof that you truly had the money for your use and that the error was genuine.
