Brooke60:
Anybody don hear from Conventry for January intake? Been waiting since and no decision yet

Ok that's nice, thank you.

shawrygal:
My offer letter stated #300,000 annually. And I got my successful visa decision.

Thank you for your response.

offwego:
If you are presenting employment history as the documentation for your 6 year study gap, i think the most important thing is if the employment history you are presenting shows a progression over the 6 year period. A trainee is an entry level position so if you are including other documents that show that you have moved to other roles during the intervening period and also shows what your present role is i do not see why the salary information on your trainee employment letter should stand out.

Ok thank you very much, I have been worried about it.

Gloriyah:
It’s a proof of what you’ve been doing since graduation, It’s not a red flag.

Please, I need help, I have a study gap of 6 years but I also I have an employment letter for trainee for 1 year that states 60k as salary. Please should I add it as part of my study gap or is that a red flag.

All the gurus in the house help me out.

.

Congratulations

Visa Alert! Visa Alert!!

Here is my timeline:


July 23rd: Applied to Uni of Sunderland

July 26th: Got a Conditional offer

July 27th or 28th: Got a mail from the school of high volume of application. Need to be fast to meet conditions to get CAS.

Na so I begin dey ask questions for Nairaland, read and watch YouTube videos about UK visa.

1st week of August: Got conditional offer from Uni of Bedfordshire.

Now left with the option to choose between Uni of Sunderland or Bedfordshire. Na so I begin make research oh..! To avoid the long talk, I settled for Sunderland. I pray I don’t regret it. Amen!
Paid intial deposit £3,500

Part of the school conditions was POF. I begin bombard questions here on Nairaland if it’s possible to use my mom who stays in Canada with Canadian account as sponsor. All I was getting was “yes na! Yes I can!!”

September 6th: With fear, I started POF using my mom Canadian bank account. She as my sponsor. People were telling me, they might reject me that I will have high chance of approval if I use my account or still collect loan and run POF. Me wey dey manage insisted I will use her as sponsor. Nairaland wey tell me hn possible no dey lie!!

September 28th: TB test. School served me mail that Project Management is now first come first serve due to high volume of application at TB center Ikeja. I wan cry after filling school address at tb center.

October 4th: This date is the 28th day for the POF. I printed exactly on the 28th day. Immediately after print out of statement, lump sum was withdrawn way below the required funds needed for POF. After my displeasure of the transaction, the money was deposited back that same day. That was when my fear arose the more if UKVi will detect this.

October 5th: Submitted the statement for CAS. Na so school start there own with first page doesn’t carry stamp, 2nd page doesn’t carry bank logo. One of the team of Sunderland immigration compliance team had to tell me why can’t I tell my mom to send the funds to my account here to use as POF the UKVI might reject this statement. I explained if she does that, if I get to Uk, I will still need to transfer the money over there too which will spoil the money due to high exchange flunctuation. She agreed to that but still claims they can’t accept my mom statement because UKVI May reject my visa.
Then fear set in. I was like Shebi Nairaland said we can use any of the parents account regardless of the currency as sponsor.
I started pressing on them with calls. I wasted lot of cards calling. Different team were picking with different opinions.
After much pressing they forwarded it there manager. Got a mail from the manager to get bank letter of active account claiming the statement can be used.

October 6th: The bank manager no wan release bank letter claiming why can’t they accept the statement. He be like this is Canadian bank that that statement is accepted anywhere. Spoke to him on the phone with mail screenshot from the school claiming just a letter for confirmation it’s active. Canadian English different from Uk own. Ah swear I no even dey hear wetin the bank manager dey talk for phone. Had to beg him for it.
Drafted it, submitted that same day, Sunderland ImmigrationCompliance team continued with there behavior again after calls on calls. God answered my prayer when I called around 3pm, the call went straight to there manager Lynne, within 2mins she acknowledged everything with my consent letter and birth certificate. That same evening CAS dropped.

To apply for visa kan dey scare me because of the immigration compliance team thinking if they were UKVI, na straight rejection and the huge lump sum withdrawn exactly on the 28th day after the printing of POF statement.

So I open my system, used corelldraw carry the bank stamp in page 2 of my statement to the page one and logo on page 1 to page 2.

Thanks a lot to those who take there time to respond to questions on this forum. Sometimes I come here and ask some kind funny questions. But una go still reply.

Main thing about Nairaland is don’t miss any messages on any trend or forum one is following here. I learnt a lot from questions and answers on this uk travel forum. I never miss. It made me understood everything more. People are asking me how I take do am. People call me for guidance. Some call me agent but in my mind, I no say na Nairaland.
