westbuoi: No the personal statement is not necessary, just concentrating on meeting the main requirements, personal statement is not one of them. Don't worry about been out of work for months, you are not applying for work visa, its student visa. Going for ur Msc is a step forward and an added advantage to ur field |

westbuoi: Believe me. Justwise has said what i wanted to say exactly. The only thing i have to add is, the personal statement is simply meant to be on your course, why you choose the school, what benefits it has will be on yourt career. my contribution. |

Re: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered by humblemoi: 12:33pm On Nov 25, 2010 |
westbuoi: Ok, let me understand you clearly, you said you had your first degree in "geology". Your work experience has been in "Banking Sector" and now you want to put in for your masters in either "finance" or "purchasing & supply chain management". You need to consider your place of residence after concluding the masters. That i will say is very important. Please allow the gurus of the forum to assist in this and in the meantime do some wider projections and consultations. |

girl-inc.:ehmmmm, @justwise, i guess u missed my post(above). can u pls help me with the info? thnx! |
Re: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered by Xorcyst(m): 10:44am On Nov 26, 2010 |
@girl-inc the BHC usually request that the documents not be laminated but i wasnt penalized on those grounds wen i submitted my initial application. a couple of my friends who were successful had theirs laminated also. as long as they can verify your credentials from your university here you should be alright @forum: pls correct me if im wrong i have a question too: pls does the BHC check the balances on your account as at the time on the statement or are they interested with the balance event after you apply. im just curious cuz in the instance someone uses his salary account and needs to make payments after the statement date, does it hurt your application if you withdraw? |

Please, a friend of mine applied to a school in England and was offered admission. After paying the required deposit fees to enable him receive his 'CAS' number, so he can apply for a student visas. The school asked him to send a copy of his passport(i think its the data page) before his CAS number will be sent to him. I just want to know if that is the general requirement before your CAS number is sent, or it depends on the school. |

thats is very normal, if you need more information on that i would be of assistance, i know of a very reliable agent that did mine for me and i have got my Visa ready to move around January 17, 2011. For the question on balance in account, you are free to withdraw from your account anyday, anytime as long as the remaining balance within the 28 days prior to your submission of application does not fall below the expected balance (Tuition + Maintenance Fund). Alternatively, for 98% Visa guarantee transfer both your Tuiton and Maintenance to the school at the same time and ensure the total value reflects on your CAS, email questions to: info@cardinalstar.com am ssure they will reply to it with a speed of light. |
Re: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered by icez: 11:38am On Nov 26, 2010 |
@skolAbroad so u r saying it is normal 4 the school to ask 4 a copy of his passport before issuing the CAS number |
Re: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered by SkolAbroad: 11:49am On Nov 26, 2010 |
Exactly, they want to be sure they are issuing the CAS in favour of the right student. You know we are too smart in Nigeria, before now you must have heard they sell people's admission, but with the data page of your Int'l Passport, its not possible to do that. Just let me know if you need more info or if you know people that wants to school overseas. They process admission for UK, US, Australia, Canada, Ukraine, Poland, and Malaysia. |
Re: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered by Xorcyst(m): 12:06pm On Nov 26, 2010 |
@icez yes it is normal. they need your data page when they are requesting approval of your CAS from THE UK BORDER AGENCY |

Re: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered by justwise(m): 4:46pm On Nov 27, 2010 |
SkolAbroad: Where did you get that idea from? |
Re: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered by justwise(m): 4:48pm On Nov 27, 2010 |
topsys: Sure you can, but you have to apply within a month u arrived Nigeria cos if the bank statement stayed more than a month then u will have prob with ur visa application |
Re: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered by justwise(m): 4:51pm On Nov 27, 2010 |
icez: Like alot of pple said here already, there is nothing wrong with that, ur friend should scan and email it to the school. Don't need any agent to do that. |

Hello House. I obtained a Letter of Attestation from my University for the verification of my Degree Certificate and to be sure the phone numbers are working I called the phone numbers on the letter only to be told that they are not reachable. However, the Nigeria Security Printing & Minting Company (NSPMC) which produces all NYSC Discharge certificates is the same company which produces the certificate Of my University (Ambrose Alli University) and ineffect the Certificate has security features that can easily be detected by the forgery detection machines at the BHC. I would like to know if there is any other way that I can ensure that my Degree Certificate can be verified or I should submit my NYSC Discharge Certificate along with my Degree Certificate and my WAEC as additional proof that I am indeed a University Graduate. |

@segba, u re good to go joor, hope it is a new CAS u re using, that shows tuition fee fully paid. make a transaction a day before u print out the bank statement, to aviod closing balance issue 2.5m, in ur bank account, which i believe is the same name on ur passport and cas, u re more than good to go, jare currently with the way britain is, it is really tough, so prepare ur mind that u might be returning to naija after ur study, and secondly, make sure u bring enough money here, cos, u will be lucky to get a job. immigration laws are changing, and if u want to come in as a student, u ve to apply as soon as possble, no miracle again for england, come april 2011, they might even scrap post study work visa, the reality is, it is tough all the best in ur future endavour |
Re: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered by Greatsteps: 9:41am On Nov 29, 2010 |
Hello everyone, I'm happy for this thread, I applied to a college in uk for an undergraduate course, They asked me to send scanned copies of my SSCE Certificate, TOEFL and my Internationl passport. I told them that my SSCE original certificate is not yet out (it will come out next year) but I have only the statement of result from my school. what I did was to send them a NECO scratch card so that they can verify and validate the result on NECO's website which they did and said they are okay with that. My question is will BHC accept the statement of result since that is what the school used in giving me admission or do I have to get any letter from NECO regarding that? . For TOEFL, I have just applied to sit for 11th December exam date. My school starts on 17th january. 2011. I was told that it takes two weeks for the toefl result to come out, which means by 25th of december I will get the toefl result. I will send the toefl result to my school on 26th December for them to send me the CAS. I planned submiting my application to BHC on 2nd january 2011. I don't know if it is possible for the school to send me the CAS before 2nd January so that I can package it and send to BHC. I want to know how long it takes to receive CAS from a school when all the requirment have been confirmed and also can I get response from BHC regarding my VISA before my school start up date which is 17th january. The maintenance deposit would be 28 days by 30th december and I will submit my application by 1st or 2nd January. Please, I need answers to these four questions: 1. Will BHC accept my SSCE Statement of result from my school instaed of the original certificate from NECO since that is what the school used in giving me admission? 2. Will BHC also accept TOEFL statement of result because by the time I will submit my application, the original will not be out by then, (Original certificate from TOEFL comes out after one month) 3. My school starts 17th january, 2011 and I will submit my application on 2nd January, Will this effect the outcome of the visa since the time is too short? what do I do? 4. I want to know how long it takes to receive CAS from a school when all the requirments have been confirmed. Please I need answers, suggestions and advice on this, I will be expecting response on this. Thank you all, |
Re: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered by Xorcyst(m): 11:55am On Nov 29, 2010 |
@greatsteps 1> you are required to provide the documents on the CAS, if your school states what they gave u admission with, then the BHC will accept em. i guess that shouls answer question 1 and 2 why are you gonna wait till january 2. im not saying it'l affect the application itself but what about contingencies. i am to resume on the 26th january or so and i put in my aoolication last week. u dig? my CAS took 3 days to get. maybe its because i was reapplying for a fresh CAS. but the 1st one took about 2 weeks capische? |
Re: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered by Greatsteps: 1:30pm On Nov 29, 2010 |
@Xorcyst, thanks for your response, I have to wait till 2nd January because am yet to logde in my maintenance fee, I will lodge it into my account on the 2nd of december which means by 30th of december it would be 28 days in my account then on 1st january or 2nd I will submit my application to BHC. Please, I still need advise or suggestion on the late submission of my application, it's two weeks prior to my commencement date. I will expecting more input from other members of the house too! Thank you all! |
Re: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered by dayo1401: 4:57pm On Nov 29, 2010 |
@greast step this wan wey u wan do, is basically at ur own risk, if u want to submit ur application two weeks before resumption, then u are putting ur self in a tight corner, but if u must do it, am talking about if there is no other choice, then, make sure u ask for an extension from ur sch, maybe a two weeks or one week extension just to cover ur visa processing period u can find it, if there are any special services to make it faster, like PFL and stuffs, i applied in october and they stopped the whole agent thing, in ur own interest when turning in ur application by january, tell ur sch before u do so, so they can give u an extension, and u would write it clearly on ur form that u ve been giving an extension for late resumption, and put the extension date, the sch dont ve to issue u a new cas letter, for that, they will just update the database of ukba, i did the same thing, for my visa, i actually resumed 2weeks after, and was allowed to go in at heathrow remember, the money must not drp one kobo, and i will advise dont go for exactly 28days, u can make it 30, remember to do a transaction a day before u print ur statement, to aviod closing balance issue, i think u re good to good |
Re: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered by dayo1401: 5:01pm On Nov 29, 2010 |
@great step bear in mind, that they actually refuse people for late submission, if they give u and u dont travel on time, they ve the right to refuse u entry at the port, so late resumption should be backed with late extension date, just to be on the safer side u might get it even within that two weeks, but on a good day, it takes 15 working days to process ur visa (3 weeks) God bless |
