First i would like to welcome you to the Bournemouth family in this forum.

Is there a “Bournemouth family “? Applying to Bournemouth for a second master’s, September 2020. Information Technology. Any tips? Just found out the personal statement shouldn’t be less than 1200 words and not more than 5000? That’s like writing a final year project! Lol

PTE is easier and cheaper.. all you need do is get familiar with the test formats and questions. I did mine (1st sitting) and passed well.

If you really wish for people to help, you need to stop pretending and do the right thing.

What does ‘suitable commercial bank statement’ mean?

Hello gurus in the house.

Please is it possible for my spouse to apply same time with me as my dependent on my Tier 4 visa.

If Yes/No, what are the processes.

I will appreciate your quick response.

Thank you.

Yes it’s possible.
The process is the same as yours.
The rate limiting factor for most is usually the maintenance funds. But if you have already covered that then you can apply at the same time.
O your form, you select visa category as tier-4 (General)
On your spouse’s own, they select tier-4 (dependant).
In your application, you answer YES where asked if you are traveling with any dependants. You input your spouse’s details in the next set of questions...etc
I’m your spouse’s application, they input your details as the main holder.

Simple as A..B..C

Happy New Year

18 wow why?

Goodday Everyone,
I want to present my bank statement to a UK University in order to get my CAS statement but the required fund is not yet up to 28 days in the account. I currently hold an offer to study a masters course which is to start by 28 of January, 2020. is it possible that the school issue the cas to me with this statement. I will be using a statement from the same account to apply for my visa after the fund has been held for the required 28 days. please i need a response on this.
Also, i want to make a clarification on the 28 days rule. Does the 28 days start counting on the day the fund enters my account or the day after.
Thanks in advance

Liase with the school but I doubt if they will issue a CAS without meeting the 28 days requirement.

Also, the fund counts the day after...

You can ask your school the first question.
When I asked my school if I can send the account statement to get the CAS first then send another one when the money completes 28 days, they said I should send the one that has reached 28 days as they will be sending it also to the UKVI.

Your 28 days starts counting the day after the money is completed in your account.

RGU would not issue you Cas if your statement of account does not have the required fund up to 28days

Thanks for your response but you have not answered the question I asked, and if you don't have an idea, why not allow other people with meaningful contribution respond to my questions

However, If I'm pretending, I won't be here asking such question.
