Applying through an educational agent registered with the british council takes 5 - 10 working days, while the normally application takes 10 - 15 working days, during normal period.

I will advice u to check the your VAC on monday or Tue. Am very very sure it will be there. My sister got her entry clearance yesterday and she didnt pay for the SMS, yesterday was the 17th day for her application. am nt abt that tracking thing, its not working. normally, it should change wen ur application progresses along the process line: check this tread:


GUIDE LINES FOR TRACKING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



1. Application forwarded to BHC means that VAC has forwarded your application to the British High Commission where your application will be considered by UKBA staff.

2. Application under process at British High Commission means that the BHC concerned with assessing your application has admitted your application in their work queue and is presently somewhere in the assessment cycle (waiting to be assigned to a caseworker, assigned to caseworker, being assessed by caseworker, under review by ECO, etc. etc.).

3. The next step, when a decision is reached, will be a message to the effect that "your application has been processed and returned to VFS" - which effectively means that a decision has been reached by BHC on your application and the application has been returned to the VAC (or is on its way there).

Decisions about the applications are not disclosed on VAC website / through SMS, and will become known to you only when you receive your documents back.


Hope this clarifies doubts regarding VAC's online status messages and their meanings.
Re: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered by scobyy2007: 7:22pm On Aug 26, 2010
The online tracking thingy is just static, the same message everyday "Your Application has been forwarded to British High Commission" I dont think the tracking thing changes, any1 in house has something to say about this
Re: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered by cobusburge: 7:41pm On Aug 26, 2010
love the thread. if you linked this to paypal you would be rich. wink

a couple of question regarding my financial guarantees:

1) are you allowed to add 4 bank accounts to get to the total amount (as long as they are all in you are your parents name?)
2) can i use a sponsor as a stand-alone financial guarantee? if he is my professor is that fine? does he need to send proof of his finances?
3) if i haven't paid my tuition fee yet does it show on my CAS, do i need to have more money in my account then?

cobus

Cobus let me start by asking "are you above the age of 18?" Yes/No:

If yes, I will advice that you have maintenace + tuition yet to be paid in ur own account, however you can still back your application with a sponsor letter from ur parents.

Your CAS will show that u haven't paid, so also ur Unconditional Offer letter will show that too.

present ur birth cert. to show a relationship with ur parent.

Hey! Don't panic. When I went to collect my passport, I saw so many sealed boxes ( about 50) stacked in a corner. They were obviously containing the gray envelopes. I saw them opening two at a time then recording the information to send texts. So, all we that submitted two weeks ago shouldn't panic because they have already been processed. Cheers.

I didn't know online trackin wasn't workin. Been like that since 6th when I applied.

I stay in abk n it won't make sense to travel down to Lag only to be told it's not there.

So do ya think I shld call them tomoro before headin down to Lag?

I read thru all the guidelines regarding tier 4 student (general) visa and i did not see any such thing as personal statement. It is in desperation and in a bid to do everything possible that people include irrelevant materials not requested for by the BHC. This just makes your application bulky. One of my friends went as far as including his resume, nysc discharge certificate, AISEC stuff etc, LOL. I think you should just provide exactly what the BHC requested for.

@muami, nice one, i wish i saw the link before submission. my own state ment on the other hand is sort of a mix. it shows a debit in my savings which is the fixed deposit, and the deposit also matured back into the savings in 30 days, thereby increasing the money at the closing balnce. do you think they will add both up? the fd of 1,296,000 + savings of 730,000 for the same period?abi mine is a lost case? justwise and evry guru out there, do i stand a chance?

Thank you very much for this info. I wish i knew this before i applied. Please what does a fixed deposit certificate look like? I only provided a letter from my father's bank confirming that he holds a fixed deposit account with them, the amount in the account (which is far above the sum of my tuition fees and maintenance) and other relevant account info. Guys, please what do you think about this?
