@ ateteh; I'm a lady nd going to study financial forecasting and investment. My passport isn't ready yet.

I doubt if d agent thing determines how long they process d visa cos I went thru BCIE nd dey even gave me a letter but it was exactly 10 working days on Friday and no SMS yet. Hopefully dis week'I should get their message.

Femtopsy:

Justwise, there is a process called STUDENT SELECT SCHEME, whereby student applications from recognised agencies are fast tracked. The 2 that I know are BCIE (British Canada International Education) and PFL (Preparation for Life)

I recently discovered that the hardest thing in life ( If you're a U.K prospective student) Is waiting to hear something from the embassy. We are five in our family. I'm actuall ;Dy the 'main guy' that everyone wants to see off. They've all got their visas. I'm the only one waiting for my would- be successful application.
@ Femtopsy., Thanks for the heart calming reply.

@ Femtopsy

I'll like to chat with you, of course if you don't mind

Greetings to all out here, esp justwise and femtopsy, you all are great. I have been following this thread ever since i made up my mind to do my masters programme in the uk.  I got my cas letter last week, and i have got money in my account for close to 30 days, so i am going to apply for my study visa tomorrow. I hope to join Birmingham City University for Maters in Health Promotion and Public Health.  I want you all to wish me well.

@ Femtopsy, I'm hoping to do my Foundation Programme at the University of Glamorgan in wales then move to Liverpool for my main course in Civil Engineering. So, what are you doing on your application, have u re- applied or what?? + If I tell you I just clocked 16 last month would you believe? ( + remember I'm a boy just using my sister's account). Thanks again.

Cori_corde:

I submitted mine last week Tuesday through PFL & I'm also hoping I'll get a text message either tomorrow or next (In Jesus' name).

humblemoi:

Check your application one final time so you make sure you cross all the T's and dot all the I's. As per you bank statement, you said it is 30days now, please ensure that there is a closing balance date on the account that will prove that indeed the money has stayed in the account for 28 days, this is usually done by transacting after the 28 days, you can just pay N50 into the account. I'm saying this because despite the fact that my money had stayed in my account for 40 days, I was refused entry clearance cos the ECO said there no closing balance date, and the guidelines does not state that the date the statement is printed should be used as the closing balance date. On a final note, I wish you the best of luck!

Hey Femtopsy, i'd like to get answer from your quote thoroughly for explanation. When u have say 5million in your account transfered in one day. And then, you add some money to that say about 50 grand, making it 5 million fifty grand, this transaction occurred within the 28days. If however you decide that, you want to withdraw 1million on the 28th day, knowing you have excess funds and your balance has not gone below the required amount. Then on the 29th day you print the statement and apply without a further transaction. Can the transaction on the 28th day be regarded as the closing balnce? This is because you just said the transaction for the cosing balance could be done after the 28 days. Or what do you make of this?
Holla. This is just directed for better understanding.

After 12 days of waiting I have been called to collect my visa. I am scared like poo not even electro-Quantum physics scares me
