@mufasa.
Thanks so much for your reply.Yeah I appliead b4 PBS era. My application was denied cos I used two sponsors (my bro's accnt who's in the US and my mom's accnt). My bro printed his statement from the internet and sent it. The major reason for refusal is that I submited a "copy" of one of my sponsors.
I have not gotten the letter from AIT as regards my appeal refusal.(My bro went to his bank and got an original statement and even a letter from his account officer). So, I am yet the know the reason for my appeal dismissal.

I'm thinking of submiting my Mom's statemnt with letter from her that she's paying my tuition. (I've paid 1000 GBP from my tuition )The remaining is just 3000pounds.

* I also want to know if it matters if ur School is "B" rated on the Tier4 sponsors register.

funkybabe pls help out here

wheres the uni located?
within london or outside?

@slim101

i think its best you stick to your mum's account provided she has loads of money in it.
you have an outstanding of 3000 pounds in fees. assuming your school is within london, you need to have mainteananace funds of 7200 pounds (5400 pounds if its outside london)

add up 3000 pounds and 7200 pounds . total is 10,200 pounds.
so your mum must have the naira equivalent of 10,200 pounds (use oanda website for current exchange rate) in her account UNTOUCHED for 28days

most importantly, make sure you get an original visa letter from the university.

i do not know much about how universities are cartegorised under the new system. but i guess ''B'' cartegory is for colleges.

once it reaches maturity date, print out the bank statement, fill the forms correctly, include all other documentation. . . . ssce original certificate, letter frm mum, etc and you are good to go.

Thanks peeps. My school is actually London College of Computer and Business Studies. It's in Stockwell, London and I'm doing my PGD in I.T. and according to Oanda, 10,500gbp = #2,639,398. Moms has more than double that in her account.

Good. Do not include the bank statement of your brother in the states. Your mum's bank statement will do. Remember that 10,500 pounds must remain untouched for 28days and most importantly, get the [b]original visa letter[/b]r from the college

@slim101


Did you applied through Awolowo House (Glass House)?

I meant TSK?

well, the TBS rule states that the documents stated in the Visa letter should be submitted with ur application, if your OND is not listed, it only shows that the school believe that your HND is good enough to qualify you for the course. I'd advise you go ahead and apply with the documents stated in the visa, however to be on a much safer side, u can submit your OND notification of result like that, am sure it wont hurt.

Man you got to be very careful,The website for the college you are going to sounds very suspicious,simply because it has a .com website.Which suggests it is a commercial website.Most schools in the Uk have a .co.uk address.

http://www.lcbcs.com/


So better check it out at the British high Comm in Nigeria before you pay your tuition fees.

The school is in UKBA website, it listed all the schools licenced to sponsor migrants under tier 4. The list is as current as 05-November-2009

Thats okay,the real question is whether that is the legitimate website of the school.

Dear all,
I have being in London for about 3 weeks now and I must say that missing 2 weeks of activities affected me to a large extent. I am still trying to fill in the remaining gaps as things keep moving on up.

Hey Iz2much, are you in UK already? What happened with your visa?
