I saw this and I think it clarifies 28days statement issue for me

I am confused on this statement, bank statement not capturing funds. It seem you understand this @mimilyrics

Thank you

Your closing balance will be used; you don't need to make transactions prior to printing. Nothing wrong with printing on the date you submit; the date of application should be your 29th day in this situation.

You are 100% correct with your explanation
dami24:



Mimilyrics, you have talked about this before and I think it was corrected then and you agreed with the correction.

The ECO wants to see that you have held your funds in the account for atleast 28days and the statement of account should not be older than 31days before you submit your application.

Meaning if you printed your 28days statement of account on the 1st of July, it’s is still valid to be submitted until 31st July

You only have to reprint if you are submitting the statement after 31st July

If you have access to your school agent, they may be able to help with a Dollar Card or if you know anyone who can. The only way now is to get a dollar card

When you say he is correct, at what point is the submission expected to count? Submission of visa application, uploading the bank statement or submission at the point of biometrics?

I thought the card pays above $3k monthly?
I was at the bank today to enquire

This issue of card payment is so annoying. My dollar card refuse to be delivered since a month ago. I ended up telling my brother to pay from UK and I refunded him.

Just Incase anyone needs the info. I use 3 debit cards to pay for visa fees for main applicant and dependents. GTB deducted N176,280 and some, Standard Chartered N197,200 while Access bank deducted 201,140 for the fees.
The transaction was on Saturday though

Could someone who has used the self-service kindly explain exactly how it is done? Like what are the exact documents to upload, and what to take to the VAC on appointment day. This is specially for a Tier 4 student visa application.

For example: CAS, ATAS (for those on this category), admission letter (is this necessary), TB Test cert, photocopy of passport data page, Docs listed in CAS, ? And is there a specific format for these docs?
I really don't want to make a mistake. Thank you
Re: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered Part 4 by mimilyrics: 12:22am On Aug 04, 2020
The upload process is the same across the visa categories.
You need to click the + sign or drag and drop your documents, then select the category for each document and upload. You will upload all your supporting documents (TB test, bank statement, certificates, employment letter - for those submitting one, passport, accommodation evidence if any, ATAS e.t.c)

Scan and change your documents to pdf format to upload. You can use TinyScanner mobile app to do this.

By the time you're done, your uploaded documents summary list should look like the attached screenshot. You'll be able to print out this list for your appointment.

PS: Try to keep each document you need to upload below 10mb to increase upload speed.

Thank you for your prompt response. Since the documents are to be in pdf..it then means that documents sent directly from one's school like the CAS could be uploaded as it is. Is this right? Also, is there any need to scan and upload passport data page and the print out of the completed application?

You don't need to upload your CAS; it's an electronic document which UKVI has access to. All you need is to fill the information on your CAS into your application form.

Yes, you need to scan and upload your data page under the residency category. You need to print your appointment confirmation.

Please is there any problem if the name arrangement on my kids birth certificate is not uniform eg in my first and second birth certificate the name is written this way "tunde titilayo balogun" while my last. Child is " Balogun titilayo tunde. Please is there going to be problem?
Re: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered Part 4 by mimilyrics: 12:54am On Aug 04, 2020
It's okay since the names are the names to be used for the application and the arrangement order isn't specific on the birth certificate as to which is the first name or the last name.
If it specifically states that the last name is the first name and vice-versa, then you'd need an affidavit.

If it had specifically stated which name is the last name and which name is the first name in the wrong order, then you'd need an affidavit.

Hi there everyone,
I've been following this thread for a while (very informative indeed), and now it's crunch time, so I've created an account to ask questions.
I just got my CAS, filled in the infernal forms, and now I'm stuck at the TLS appointment booking stage.
I've tried to mouse over some of the dates, nothing seems to work.
Can anyone let me know what I'm doing wrong, biko?
@mimilyrics, could you shed any light, thank you?
