Ps: justwise, I noticed that my previous comment was removed, any reason for this?

I was surprised to see you encouraging someone to circumvent the student visa rule. You really think that was a good idea?

Hello, Has anyone gotten CAS from University of Northampton? Submitted statement and visa declaration form since last Wednesday. Over a week now....no CAS and no feedback. Admission office is not picking calls.

I had the impression it was a 48hr wait....

They have not started issuing CAS. Maybe next week.

Congratulations, please did you declare the USA and can refusal in your application?

Really? How did I do that pls? As far as I remember,
my answer was in line with T4 rules.
Did I miss something in the comment I responded to or is money from family and friends now against the T4 rules?

mimilyrics:

my answer was in line with T4 rules and from an ECO's viewpoint.

Please show me where that rule is published, a rule that says a friend can transfer money into an applicant's account just to show for maintenance money.

As far as I remember, the person was getting funds from a friend but can't remember seeing that it was just to show maintenance (maybe I missed it) hence my question.

There have been questions surrounding getting gift funding from family and friends and my answer was in line with that and the student visa rules so if you felt that the person was trying to circumvent the student visa rules, I understand you removing the comment and my response but pls don't say that I was encouraging the person to circumvent the student visa rules as that wasn't the case.

The documents you submitted was for a January intake right? Are you referring to documents for CAS or for admission?

Yes you encouraged the op to go ahead and allow his friend to transfer the money, you even go as far as saying he should come up with a reason and source of money is not probed.

Sigh! I only answered the OP's questions, not explore his reasons for asking, it doesn't mean that I was encouraging him to break the rules.

He asked if his friend could transfer to him and I said yes which is true. He also asked if it would raise flags and I said no, it's not always necessary to capture the day the funds hit the account. These are questions that even family/friend sponsored Nairalanders have asked and the answer has always been in this vein.

I also further explained that sometimes source of funds are probed and sometimes they are not depending on if the the ECO is able to ascertain that the funds are truly available to the applicant. This even happens in the case of family giving you the money ie. Someone has been given money by an uncle here and the reason for that was asked during the interview.

These are questions that have been asked on this thread by people who are funded by family and the answers I gave are not exclusive of the Tier 4/Student visa rules. Whatever I said was in line with what I typed above which is not outside of the rules and not an encouragement for circumventing the rules.

Hello everyone,

This is pure misrepresentation and you know it which was why I was shocked to read that post from you. There is no way to explain this away.

Account building just to get a visa and return the money is fraud simply. People can do whatever they want outside this thread but we should not encourage it here.

You have been doing a good job here but in this particular case you got it wrong.

This is the issue. I understand where you're coming from but you seem not to understand my point. I only answered the questions asked and I must have missed where the poster mentioned account building as his/her intention (if stated anywhere because I didn't see it) which was exactly why i asked about why the comment was taken down. But for you to now make a statement as to me aiding the circumvention of the student visa rules isn't okay.

Haven't I on previous occasions asked that you removed whatever part of my comments that might be misconstrued by others in the past? So for me to ask why this comment was removed should have been enough for you to give the benefit of doubt before concluding that I was deliberately encouraging someone to go against the student visa rules.

Simply explaining that my comment might be misconstrued by others or the OP based on the OP's intentions would have been enough explanation instead of casting aspersions on my person.

At least on previous occasions when my comments were removed while responding to or cautioning certain posts, I didn't have to ask you because I knew that those posts had to go.

Hello everyone!

I need your experienced answer please.
Is it advisable to book a normal accommodation with shared facilities or I should just book a hotel for the 14 days quarantine.

Who has paid tuition deposit in De Montfort University?? How long did it take for them to issue you CAS after payment?

Please has anyone been able to successfully book an appointment with iom lagos for the tb test? i sent mails, call since Monday 2nd November. I even went there myself on thursday, they gave me a form online and they said they will get back to me and nothing yet.

Adurami040517:
Email them, they will give you a closer date, that their online no dey get close available date

I have also emailed called over and over since Monday, I havent been given an appointment or even a response to start with. The website isnt even working either

Please I need help. How do I make payments for tuition fees in the bank? What's the procedure?

The total of my school fees is £15,000, and £7500 per year, Am I going to show the total £15,000 in my bank account on only the £7500 for the year + living expenses for a visa application?

Please who knows any University that accepts 1k or 2k for tuition deposit?

Please book your accommodation instead of staying in a hotel for 14days it is not funny.

Better to stay your accommodation at least you can cook and do other stuff in your own comfort zone.

And there is no difference right now you can't go out and inspect accommodation. They will send a video to you. Hotel won't send any video to you. You will stay in that room that was assigned to you.

So pick an accommodation now and focus on your lectures there no time again.
