the money you need to show for the student visa, does it need to be in one account only or the money can be lodged in two separate accounts, for instance the money in the two accounts will add up to the money that i need to show?

Khadie:

@ iz2much: no I wasn't but that's my prayer request

@ b.iriah: these 2 accounts, who do they belong to? You? Your sponsors?

ell77:

The money needs to be in your account, the account of your parents or a combination of the two. It can be in multiple accounts if it meets these requirements. But you must present the information clearly and write oanda conversion on each. To make it clearer you can reference and write this total of sums i.e.
Exhibit A - TOTAL SUM:
-Supporting bank statement 1 shows £4000 belonging to Miss Lola Thomas (the applicant),
-Supporting bank statement 2 shows £4000 belonging to Miss Lola Thomas (the applicant),
-Supporting bank statement 3 shows £10,000 belonging to Mr Kunle Thomas (the applicant's father - please see exhibit B for parental statement of consent/financial sponsorship).

There is  a place in the self assessment form under PBS that asked if your accommodation fee has being paid to your sponsor and if you say no, I want to think that the part where you will have to show that you have sufficient fund to cover outstanding expenses in the form will help as your account details will back up the fact that you do have the fund. House what do you think?

@ Funkybaby

Itz been long, Where ave u been, even £a$y is just coming in.

funkybaby:

maintenance funds or not. its advisable he shows evidence of where he will be accommodated while he is studying. and i guess the poster has probably never been to the UK before. so where is he going to stay? even if its just for 2weeks . . . . till he knows his way around.

as easy as PBS looks, people are still been refused for silly reasons and minor errors.

even if he escapes it now, it will be an issue for him at the port of entry. so why take chances with the initial visa application. look for some cheap accommodation. even if its a 200pounds deposit, pay it and get a contract or something.

just my opinion though.

Hello Guys,its good to know that there's a forum like this to ask questions from people with real life and practical knowledge.

Of recent, I and my fiance have been toying with the idea of securing a highly skilled immigrant work permit from the uk.

I am sure y'all very well know that getting this is based on a point based -system which covers areas like education qualification,age ,income.

My Fiance qaualifies becos the policy of the scheme has been  recently changed to score points on education only if you have additional qualifications e.g a masters degree (which she just conculded);while i am just about putting in for mine in unilag.now this point (education) carires a lot of weight which makes my total  points insufficient to qualify.

With this,the idea came that she becomes the primary applicant while i become the dependant ;of cos based on marital relationship as we plan to get married.

Though i have gone thru the designated uk site for the scheme;i sincerely want honest opinions and practical insights as to how this arangement might work out for us.

Also i wouldnt mind to know the documents to put together and all.one can understand these things better if it comes from experienced individuals rather than just reading it on a websites.

furthermore,what are the prosppects there cos there is always the fear of the unknown?

I have a friend currently working in the uk(legitimately) dat has been bugging me  to try and find my way down there,my fiance also have cosins that have been telling her same.however, i know that money dont grow on trees over there and life is not all bed of roses;reason why am trying to get 3rd party opininion/advice on this forum.

I have never realy been big on living abroad;but i just feel why not?, even if its just for few years and most importantly give your kids an opportunity to be citizens of the "world" rater than a country  that has not moved any where and without electricity for the past 45 yrs wallowing in abject poverty in the mist of plenty.

Now pple will say "so is running abroad going to solve the problem?", my answer to  that is:self preservation and survival is the only way to gurantee the future of any human. i can only change things if i am alive,mentaly sane and have the economnic power to do so.

My honest opinion of  the present Nigeria without unneccessary sentiments of "nigeria is the only true country i have" and all that crap is that it can not guarantee that survival with the THIEVES,BARBARIANS and MADMEN  that rule us.

kindly help a broda out!

or if you guys want to get married before she leaves that may help your application in the long run
