We're leaving to the UK on Sunday.
Swansea and Coventry University respectively.
Flight booked BA as at today 277k through Wakanow.

Thanks everyone.
Thanks to just wise,mimilyrics,aprokodaughter and everyone else that answered my many questions.

I'm sorry to hear this. Do you have any evidence of the failed transaction: such as a screenshot of the page when the payment failed. It may help if you send that to GTB

Oggg:
I have spent money on calls and transportation to the bank but yet these 3 criminals, GTB, PAGA and FLUTTERWAVE say the transaction was successful. I have asked for them to provide a document stating this in clear terms as my visa application payment is still pending.
That payment was unsuccessful.
My account was debited.
I honestly do not know what to do again.
No payment ref on my visa form as the UK visa page still states I should make payment.
No document till date. This is the worst I have felt in a long time.

Have you been able to pay now?

jay3012:
I am going to Edinburgh Napier university In January MBA leadership practice. I want to pay tuition deposit tomorrow. Having a hard time doing that.. Form A wahala. Have you paid yours? How did you do it?

Don't be quick to let go of your money. Card refunds can take up to 28 days. What was their response when you contacted them about the failed transaction?

Oggg:
I write this with a bitter heart after what I have passed through in almost 2 weeks now. This should also serve as a warning..
When your online visa transaction payment fails and you are still debited without value provided by PAGA/FLUTTERWAVE/GTB , forget that money.. it is gone.
These 3 criminals are worse than the present govt in Nigeria.
Thieves = Paga, Flutterwave and Guaranty Trust Bank.

Why not find out from your cousin since s/he's already in Hertfordshire. S/He should know schools that are close by.

Gracedom:
Pls who knows any Uni closer to or around University of Hertfordshire (aside Bedfordshire). I’m trying to see if I can stay not too far from my cousin already attending the University of Hertfordshire as the Hertfordshire Uni don’t offer the course I wish to study.

I can’t seem to make progress with google search

Okay, thanks

What does AIN mean?

Of course, yes!

Vatsyayana:
Good evening respected advisors. I have a quick question regarding the proof of funds. My question is:
"Can the said amount which is to be retained in my bank be in any currency other than naira?"

@mimilyrics, please for one presently legally residing outside Nigeria and is eligible to apply for the Tier 4 Visa in the country of residence, can the person combine the bank statement from the bank in the country of residence and the one from the bank in Nigeria and submit as POF, both bank statements bear the same name?

That

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?

IHS for 12- month masters, either January or September.

Hoverboy27:
Sorry what will be £705? I don’t understand

No. It will be £705. The extra 4 months you get on your leave will be added to the 12 months of study.

Hoverboy27:
Yes for January starters.
If it was one year September, it will be £470.

If your course lasts for 16 months, your IHS fee is £940.

yusufDeveloper:
Please, how much did you pay. I'm also in the same situation and I don't want to over pay. The calculator is also showing £940

May I know when you paid and the exchange rate (£ to $) used? I have a funded dollar card and I'm contemplating using that for tuition deposit instead of form A.

senator77:
I used Mastercard dollar card to pay my 50% deposit. Its within minutes & school sent my receipt in less than 1hour.

Yes you will pay. And it's no longer £300 but £470/year. If your course lasts for 12 months, you will pay 470+235 which comes to £705. If your course lasts 2 years, you will pay 470+470+235 which comes to £1175

GHJOE:
Good day pls
I’ll like to confirm if I will be needing NHS to apply for Student Visa... I saw something like dat on the website of my school
Thanks..

If they take the funds, how then do you intend to pay for your education in the UK?

Its better you receive your visa before touching that money in order to avoid stories.

teepapi711:
Good morning people, happy new month. Incredible thread I must say. Few details about me:
1. I'm applying to study MSc management and finance at Birmingham city university
2. I have my TB test certificate, paid tuition deposit, UO in the bag, account statement would mature in another 14 days exactly. I'll apply for CAS immediately
My question and my worry: I got the funds from a finance house and they'll take the funds as soon as our contract expires. My fear is does it affect me in anyway if go for biometrics and the funds isn't in my account.
However I plan to submit immediately I have CAS.

But wey d tears na? I can't see any

AltMon2:
Desmond Elliot has broken down in tears on Live TV, following the backlash he's receiving from Nigerians over social media regulation.

Recall that the former actor, at the Lagos State House of Rep in his submission, pushed for passing if social media regulation bill.

the controversial statement received lots of criticisms, as many Nigerian youths boast him for referring to youths as “children” and for also pushing for the regulation of social media.

Desmond Elliot in a new interview on Arise TV broke down in tears. This came after he apologized for his statement earlier.

Hi @kaylov12, are you in Staffordshire now, how's the school and area? Was hoping to read your application TL. I hope to be in Staffordshire in January.

At what rate were you charged please? And is there an additional bank charge?

Miide2:

With the new student visa rules in place, you can apply six months before course start date instead of the previous three months with tier 4
[ author=adeniyy01 post=95132752]

Please which session are you going for, that's, October intake or January?

I thought January intake Visa process starts from November.
If the amount in acct wasn't lower than required amount in-between.. the counting is from September 9th.[/quote]

Use google to search for sample SOPs, you'll get templates that you can customize. Beyond that, its very important that you understand what your course is about and why you're studying it, so you can be able to convince whoever is assessing your application

saipn:
bro I need a guide or sample on how to write a good study plan and SOP for msc artificial intelligence

It's further down the page. Cost is £14,5K but I was offered a 2k discount so I'll be paying £12,5K. Same discount should apply to you.

xyz123456:
Thanks for the reply. But I could not find the cost of Staffordshire Msc on their page..

Not sure if you can get study visa for part time, I think it was mentioned in the newly updated student visa document but I'm not sure of the details.

If you're going for MSc, you have to compete your studies before you can switch to Tier2. Only PhD students are allowed to switch to tier 2 after 12 months of PhD study.

I'm headed to Staffordshire Uni for MSc Software Engineering in January. The course comes bundled with AWS Cloud Certification; you may see the link below to see if you may be interested

xyz123456:
Hello All,
I am an experienced software engineer working in Dubai. I have decided to migrate to UK and want to do it via Msc route. I want to do Msc software engineering at a top university in UK and I saw one from oxford university that I am really interested in. But the program is part time for about 2 years. My questions are
1) Is it possible/likely to get student visa for part-time Msc program?
2) If yes, Must I finish the part-time program before I can convert my Tier4 visa to Tier 2 visa even If i get a job during the program?

Thanks

Congrats bro

VISA VISA ALERT

I finally picked up my passport with the visa in it after 36 calendar days and 26 working days..

God came through when it seems everything won't work out.

I started from the Part 3 of this thread and I said I must testify before the end of Part 4 with faith and God did it.

He makes everything beautiful in its TIME.

Thanks to those who selflessly brought out their time to share knowledge, Jah bless..

Keep trusting.

For those still waiting, may God come through for each and every one of you.

Amen.

Congratulations mamacajah.

October 1st is your day 1 and today is your day 5.

ashieduplus:
Hi everyone.
Please do we begin counting the processing days from the date of the biometrics or from the day after?

I'm asking because I paid for a priority visa on Wednesday 30 September. Right now the tracking still says transferred to DMC.

I put a call to UKVI and a decision has been made..

Its official, student visa replaces Tier 4. Thankfully, IHS is still £300/year and maintenance is still £1015/£1265. I hope both fees remain so.
https://www.gov.uk/student-visa

Thank you Elizabeth28.

Elizabeth, care to share the source of the increase in maintenance fee info?

Elizabeth28:
Please help guide a friend below.

Principal applicant.
�
Tuition fee balance = 15,000- 4420 = 10,580

[b][b]Living expenses,if going by the new PBS system for international students from October 5,it would then be = 1,023[/b[color=#990000][/color]] [/b]x 12 =12,276 pounds

Total amount needed in bank statement = 22,856 pounds
*I like calculating by 12 months cause i am factoring in currency fluctuations*

The issue now is how much would the dependents need.

I am aware the maintenance fund per dependent is £680.
So 680 x 12 for dependent 1 = 8,160
So x 4 dependents for 12 months is = 8,160 x 4 = 32,640

So now the ,maintenance funds for the dependents should it be added to that of the principal applicant which would be 22,856 +32640 = 55,496 pounds

Or i just have to add the difference which would be 32,640 - 22856 = 9,784 pounds

So i would just add 9,784 to principal applicant tuition balance and maintenace cost which would be a total of 32,640.

Kindly call to inspect

Admire this baby
