I did not submit the refusal letter, I just explained why I was rejected.

How did you phrase it pls, make we dey learn

ShyShyBobo:


Sorry! How long did the Administrative Review take? I know it was refused.

For the refunds, it should be within 28 days.

Administrative Review took almost a year

ShyShyBobo:


3 weeks is a lot. Have you been following up? Email? Phone Calls (though expensive sha)

Do you have more funds in your POF to cover the difference? If not, Just pay more tuition and PLEASE GET AN UPDATED CAS (to reflect the amount).

Someone who made additional payment, and uploaded the receipt among supporting document just got denied as the caseworker overlooked the receipt.

They didn't send the applicant a review before issuing her CAS? they usually put amounts paid to date in a review email to confirm if the applicants details are correct or not before issuing the CAS.

For me it was something like this. I was refused under section 214(b) that I didn’t have sufficient tires

It's gone up again.

If you already have a bank statement where you met the 28-day threshold, can you wait for the rate to go down before submitting your visa application?

Would that bank statement still be valid to use?

@ 2073/£, Does the rate still meet up with your financial requirement as at today ??

Hello house, please I need clarification. Which oanda exchange rate does Ukvi use, is it the rate on the date of visa application or the one on the date of biometrics?

Yes, it does. It needs to be 2083 for it to fall below my requirements.

I've been told is the date you submit your Visa application.

Deering1008:
Hi Gurus in the house, my sister is applying to the uk to join her partner who is a student. Few days after biometrics, she got a mail that her application is not straightforward and needed to upload a send a few more documents to support the visa application. She sent a letter from her bank showing that her partner was a signatory to her account and also sent rent receipt, seperate bank statements of both of them showing same address and receipt of tv bought in both their names. Today she got a mail that she has been scheduled for a zoom meeting with the home office as they are trying to conclude her application. Has anyone had this experience and what are the likely questions they might ask? Pls help🙏

Hi,
Can you please confirm which documents your sister submitted on application before biometrics? Can it be that she skipped some documents which then led to send the email for additional documents ?

Here's how's calculated, the lowest amount on your account statement on the day you submitted.

That's what I'm kinda phasing, because the school won't issue CAS because of exchange rate going up.

"An application for a study visa was refused due to insufficient documents submitted in support of my application" Depends on your situation.

The school told you this directly?

Grimdark12:


Yes, it does. It needs to be 2083 for it to fall below my requirements.

Best thing is to print it when you are ready to apply for visa to avoid story that touch. Because even if you print before you are ready to apply for visa, you will need to leave the money in the account incase the ukvi wants to confirm from the bank.

Yeah, I plan on leaving it there until after I get a visa decision. But there's no way I can guarantee the exchange rate won't mess things up.

We are all on this table right now. Let’s just be hopeful that the rate will not increase more than this.

Grimdark12:

Yes

schweinsteiger:


Yes

So does this mean if the rate goes beyond what you need, they won’t issue CAS until you submit another bank statement of 28days that meets up with the required amount ?

[quote author=alongetayo post=128000501][/quote]Hello house, is it advisable to withdraw the POF from the account before the visa decision is made?

Don’t try it.

royal13799:

No it’s not. The ukvi might call the bank to confirm if the money is in the account. So just leave the money there until the visa is out.

Yes, or pay the school some amount to balance up so it can reflect on CAS
