You GAVE him the photocopy to scan; then SHOWED him the original??
Na wa for you oh.

I gave him the two at thesame time but he chose the photocopy. Atleast i now know it does not matter. Thanks for your response anyway.

Those guys sometimes disregard the originals. The guy that attended to me last year scanned my photocopies despite me expressly telling him to scan the originals saying that it didn't matter. I kept insisting but he was adamant about it. I eventually had to leave him when I got called in for my biometrics and I worried so much about it and kept seeing the ECO reject my application due to the photocopies. I only calmed down after seeing it stated on their site that clear photocopies are accepted as long as the originals exist.
And at the end of the day, the photocopies had no bearing on the ECO's decision.

1. No. Whatever document the UKVI will base their decision on is what is listed in your CAS and what you submit. The onus is on you to prove that you're the same person the school assigned the CAS to.
2. Yes. The court affidavit is good.
3. It doesn't matter but to put you at ease, you can address this in a cover letter.
You can also address the name change in a cover letter along with the affidavit to clear all doubts.

Thanks to everyone who have answered my question. Please i have two issues with my application that i submitted and i would like to know if it would affect my application...

1. I did a change of name on 11 october 2011 and i have a court affidafit for it and news paper publication. I had a scanned copy too which is on my email. I missplaced d cour affidafit and news paper publication in a bus where i forgot my bag. November 2015 i had to do another one after my graduation to get my international passport. Now the problem is this? I sent d scanned copy to the school of the one i did in 2011 which i used to secure addmision. But where i went to appy for visa, the agent told me i cant use a photocopy of court affidavit and news paper to apply that i should use the one i did in 2015 since it bears the same name.
Now my question is this?
1. Would the school send all the change of name documents which i sent to them to the embassy?
2. Is court affidavit enough as a prove for a change of name?
ISSUE NO 2
My bank statement have a different address which is different from the one i have on my TB Tesst and also my permanent home address i used in applying for my visa.... Please does that really matter?

For number 3...i am not a pro at visa related issues oh but my friend was denied visa because of his address on his bank statement not correlating with that of another document. He applied fr admin review nd after one month he got a decision saying that they accepted his appeal but they found anither reason to doubt his genuineness.
Anyways not to scare whoever raised this issue, u re different so ur case necessarily dont hv to end up like my friend's. Like alot of gurus will always say, keep ur fingers crossed nd keep believing God

Hi Olumzy, if it's a standard application then I think it's the norm at the moment. The Ladies at UKEAS had students who had submitted for almost 2months and were yet to hear from UKVI and priority was taking more than one week. They advised me to pay for Super priority, which I did. I submitted and did biometrics on Wednesday the 22nd if August, got collection mail yesterday and picked up my Visa today. I'll advice people who are yet to apply to do so ASAP. And to use the SP visa service if they can afford it. I hope your VISA would be out soon though since you have waited this long already.

. You paid about 1000 pounds for superpriority?. Are you in such a hurry?. That's BA airfare right there .

If there is anyone coming to study in Newcastle or Sunderland who is looking for accommodation hit me up.

Hi guys, i had my interview yesterday at tls.

Questions asked:

1) Name
2)dob
3) Nationality

5) What did i study before this
6) Why this course
7)Why UK

9) How is the course going to help my career

Good luck to all those having theirs soon.

Please guys anyone knows if the bank holiday in the UK will affect processing times?

Thanks.

I don't think you can make September.

There are 2 intakes September or January but you will have to confirm from your school.

Please expert in the house? Is this really possible? The SOA bears my name just that i opened the accout in lagos while i base in ibadan. I used my permanent home address for the application. Please house what do you think i can do? Cant a peeson have more than one valid address? Who has done this before and notting happend. Please i am freaking out.

For what its worth, the bank account I have been operating for 15 years and which I have always used for my visa applications (I used it twice this year for two Schengen visa applications) has what I use as my permanent home address (a house that belonged to my late father's house in the eastern part of the country) and not my current address here in Lagos, which is the one I filled in on the forms and also used on my cover letters.

I cannot say definitively if this is an issue or not, just my own experience, but I really don't think it is.

In any case, it is anyway too late for you do anything, such as moving funds around or chasing your bank to change the address on your bank statement (especially if the address is in a different town, which means transferring your account from one branch to another, something the banks dislike doing), so just keep calm and carry on.

Don't bother yourself too much about this, submit yourself application with an explanation why the addresses are different.

I am having thesame issue too i am submitting my two accounts and one has my permanent home address and the other one which i just opened in lagos has the lagos address. I'm freaking out here too

I just made some research online now and according to what i read, they said the most important things that should appear on the statement are; your name, account number, the name and logo of the bank, the date in which the statement was printed and the statement should signed and stamped.

Only photocopies of certificates are scanned by Tsl.No course for alarm.

Hello. I am considering booking a flight to London. I like shorter flights. Emirates and Turkish are cheaper but long. Lufthansa is just 9 hours but about 45% more expensive. Please I need suggestions from those with experience in this route.

My interview is tomorrow please can anyone help with likely questions? Thanks and God bless!

Try Ethiopian airline or Royal Air Maroc

Please has anybody paid for their IHS between these past few days? Did it go through?

You can try Etihad. The flights are broken in to manageable flight times. The one with 22 hours duration has a 6 hour 45 min stop at Abu Dhabi. Flight from Lagos to Abu Dhabi is 7 hours 50 mins and from Abu Dhabi to London is 7 hours 30 mins.
You can get tickets as low as $444.20 (around 156k) depending on your travel date.

There is an ongoing issue with the IHS portal that is impacting applications in some visa applications. Customers whose IHS payments have already been made may notice a slight delay in the visa processing.
You might have to wait up to 48 hours for it to go through.

It’s 7 hours Max.

Thank you for this. My fear is that if I pay, I may be debited but not given the IHS ref number, thus throwing me into a waiting game.

I may be wrong but I think he's trying to get an option not as expensive as British airways and with as little as possible flight time. British airways' one way and return fares are currently over $1,000 for travel in September.

BA is the shortest.

Please a lady with 4 weeks pregancy and want to apply Tier 4 student visa. Please Advice on what she can becos of the TB test?

My bad if I assumed wrongly but a disclaimer proceeded my earlier response because I wasn't sure if my understanding of that post was accurate.
If you read through the person's post, you'd see the part where he mentioned that Lufthansa was about 45% more expensive than other airlines that he checked. British airways and Lufthansa one way and return fares for travel in September cost almost the same (with British Airways slightly higher) and If he didn't book Lufthansa (if on the basis of cost), he might probably not book British airways.
NOTE: I mentioned on my previous post that I may be wrong and i went ahead to suggest the lowest option with shorter flight times (from my search on flight fares and timings this morning) excluding the transit time in case that suited him.

I understand you perfectly. I understand the basis for your answer.
Nairaland experience has taught me that there are folks who prefers to be spoon-fed with info.

The truth is, the person who asked this question was only trying to do one thing:
Have his cake, and Eat it.
One has to give way for the other.
You want cheap, you take a longer time.
You want short time, you get expensive.
It’s as simple as that.

. Thanks for your detailed answer as always. I will check out Etihad. By the way, I just realized that I have more time to get to London, so longer flights may be okay for me. Best.
