xteeeee: Hello, after filling the appendix 8 there is an instruction below that states as follows "ensure also to complete the personal detail form VAF9 either on paper or online" so with this is it still important to submits the VAF9

royalsweetness:
I paid with my GTB debit card at the beginning of this week, and I was charged 266 naira per GBP, it broke my heart. Not such a money-wise option afterall

jcaribie:

yes, but online

bunburized:
My course start date is Jan 20th. I filled this as the date I will like to travel. I am beginning to think that was an error on my part as i would av preferred arriving UK atleast a week earlier. Will the approved visa length take this into consideration or they will just issue based on what I filled in the form?
Since you say I can fill the VAF9 form can I write a different choice of arrival date there?

xteeeee:

But previously someone mention dat she added the hand filled VAF9 form to her application, so I guess it's jus as u said

Don Oms:
The Visa Application Form (VAF)9 is the online application and once you fill it online and submit and print off a copy, that print off is what you should submit, not a hand-filled VAF9.

Lol @ Lawyer. I am actually going for HRM. There is a saying that he who ask questions will never get lost.
I like to be very thorough in everything I do.
We are talking 7m+ sir and any slight omission or commission may result to denial.
Imagine a denial over something a quick question and answer would have saved me. I will never forgive myself.
Anywaz, I thank you and others for being patient with me and for your promptness and dedication to providing answers. Someday, I will be in UK and will have y'all to thank for it.
Going further I have a question #smile.
Is there a suggested dress code for a female going to vfs for submission?
I don't want to go there looking like someone prep for a party when I am suppose to be dressed like a banker.
I assumed the british shouldn't have a prob with dress codes considering they have more tolerance than the average Nigerian.

xteeeee: Hello every1, been trying to login so I can print my online application since yesterday but d page can't open and I have an interview by noon, hw do I go abt it

bunburized: I have submitted my visa application online and booked an appointment for submission/interview @ d vfs center for 5th Dec. My maintenance funds will complete 28 days on Dec 3rd and i hope to print my account statement that same day or on 4th of Dec (playing safe ).
I elected to pay the visa application fee at the visa center instead of online just so I don't enter "one chance" in case I was too forward.
I hope this is not a problem considering the fact that today is 5 days away from the visa appointment date i scheduled (Dec 5th) and I am yet to print my statement of account to show proof of funds?
Pls if u feel there is a problem what are my options?

Guzye: Please does it matter if the name that deposited money in your account isn't same with yours? I mean can a friend deposit on your behalf in your account or must the name of the depositor be yours. Thank you

You MUST be able to answer
Where the money came from.
Why you have it.
You must prove that the money is yours to use.
They are looking for "money lodgement" where people borrow money to boost their account then turn up in country with no funds to support themselves.

bunburized: Please I am about making payment for my tuition fee. Is it advisable to provide the finance officer of my school(University of Salford) details of my mastercard so it can be charged?
This seem to be the easiest and cheapest means for paying my school fees.
I am very skeptical about doing this as I have all my funds in my account linked to the mastercard.
Need advise and experiences here.

Actually dt is not right. Prospective students dnt hv to prove how they got their funds . If u ask me, it is an obvious fact that over 90% of students don't sponsor themselves,usually relatives or companies or well wishers are d sponsors so it shdnt be surprising to see a large lodgement. also it is specifically stated on the ukba site that proof of source of funds isn't needed for students.

xteeeee: Once again I printed my bank statement on 28 of November it dates 28 October to 28 November but the problem is there was no transaction after 23 November therefore I printed another one d next day from 20 October to 29th November, pls which do u suggest I should use ?

Guzye:

So how do I prove it's mine?

royalsweetness: please when filling out my application, what is the difference between place of issue and issuing authority of your passport, secondly, can i select tier 4 student (general) as type of visa, even though I'm using my dad's account to apply

guardian09: Finally got my visa 2day @ calabar via ups(courier) ,I applied and did my interview @ abuja vfs office last Monday

Don Oms:
Place of Issue is the state where your passport was issued, followed by country e.g. Abuja, Nigeria.
Issuing Authority is: Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Whosoever's account you're using, you're still a tier-4 (general) applicant my dear.

kellyemms: i am about putting the deposit in my account around when should i make a transaction in the account?

jaynekari: . Hello, I will also be going to salford next year, how far have u gone. Will be going for march intake

bunburized:
I perused my own passport and saw under issuing authority: Ikoyi, Lagos, but Federal Republic of Nigeria sounds more like it.
If they refuse me a visa coz of this then it is apparent God is speaking through them. At this moment I have handed over everything to God.
