sashacoleman: After 36 workings days, almost two month later, UKVI misplacing my documents, telling me that they are sorry and that I should go and get a new passport, after calling and sending numerous emails, prayers and fasting, they eventually found the misplaced documents. Almighty God has done it for me. Finally my visa has come out. Please help me thank God.

congratulations.

royal34: Can i be refused visa because i have not made payment towards my accomodation? is it compulsory to make payment towards accomodation?

u wont be refused visa

Pweety1:

Where did your friend apply? Ikeja, V/Island or Abuja?

Thats fast!!!!!!!!!!!

Submitted mine @ Abuja same 11th and got the approval email today.

Bambamzzzz:

Lol. congrats cant wait to get my own because i really wanna share my own testimony on this forum GOD pls make a way

He's @ work already

Bambamzzzz:

@ akmoses Something is telling me that you will get an approval email before monday pls be on the look out

Tanx bro for the prayer and surprisingly i just got an approval email, omg u mus b a prophet.

thanks to all you guys, got my approval email today, so will hopefully leave for abuja on sunday for pick up against monday morning. the Lord has done it for me, he will definitely see u guys thru. Manchester awaits!!!!!

Bambamzzzz: I just finish submitting my application in abuja oh,my people pls i need your prayers this time around because all i want from GOD is my visa on it

Be rest assured, He'll see u thru

justwise:

I really don't know why you should do that, you can always print another CAS or get another bank statement, so making photocopy of them is really strange to me.

its ok. deed has been done. God's favour will surely see me thru. thanks

DonOms:
Don't bother about that. They'll just put it aside and work on your application. The statement will be returned with your package.

thanks

@justwise, pls i made photocopy of bank statement and cas. i jus read am not suppose to have done that. whr do i stand?

DonOms: @xkobans Your passport data page and certificates are the most important photocopies. Basically, you SHOULD photocopy all original documents except Bank Statement, VAF9 print off and your CAS.

Who is your sponsor? I hope you have double-checked they can sponsor you.

Truth be told, i photocopied my bank statement and CAS .....whr do i stand?

justwise:

Its as useless as any other pieces of paper, the most important document there is your CAS/CAS number.

ok tanx. am still on the safer side

justwise:

No but its not needed.

actually we were told in abuja to submit those, cos i had to meet those guys outside and printed from them

@justwise, if one submits the university offer letter, does this affects in anyway?

any1 going to salford, manchester?

spikesC: So, after 27 working days (exclusive of 2 public holidays), my visa is out.

Got no single mail from UKVI, only got this mail from teleperformance:

Dear Valued Customer,
We are contacting you to notify you that your visa application request has been received at the application center and is ready for pickup.

Tracking also changed to Ready for collection

congrats

Bambamzzzz:

thats cool then because i intend to fly to abuja when i get my cas and pls can u confirm for me if they dont ask at the entrance for your interview appointment time at the gate that all they ask for is application and things?

just online application and passport (and as such, bcie should have advised you to use one statement rather than both)

Bambamzzzz:

@ akmoses how come you did not do your interview the day you submitted ?

the interviewers were tired cos it was at abt 4pm i did my biometrics, hence they rescheduled for the next day

ruksy: Ha...pls where did you submit your application?

abuja

Finally submitted my application on monday and did my interview on tuesday. The wait begins.

Emmagency: Hello house!!

Just received a mail that my application has been approved and my visa issued about an hour ago... I'm just so happy because to be honest, I kinda had some doubts about the application thing which was the final hurdle in the journey to studying in the UK... Still can't believe it..

Thanks to everyone who gave their opinions when I had my questions...

God Bless!!

congrats.

guess u submitted at ikeja? what and what did you submit and what was the credibility interview questions like?

justwise:

Your bank card and some cash for immediate needs in the UK.

Thanks

worry359:
If it's a real statement of the money in your account on that day the yes that is what you do.
If the statement is out of date or you have taken all the money out to pay back a loan than you are in trouble.
They are likely to check your bank and they will fid out the truth!

If you are honest and are following the rules then you have nothing to worry about.

thanks

justwise:



It will not be a good experience if you are caught in that situation, you will be sent back and your visa canceled because you lied in your application.

Surviving in the UK without that maintenance money and with full time study is hell.

So if one is asked to show proof of funds, do you show them the statement of account or what?

bidibudi:

pls throw more light on this oooo
so if one is eventually asked of finances what are the possible way out
in cases where one borrowed funds to run for maintenance or a case where by u borrowed money to complete the amount in the account and u have to return it be 4 travelling?

@justwise, pls give ur advice on this.

Keith101: Hi everyone, just got my visa approval e-mail. Submitted at the Abuja centre on the 31st of July. Thanks to Justwise and everyone for all the useful information gotten from this thread.

congrats

justwise:

Let me clarify something about your question 2 because i don't want to give you wrong impression.

Those documents are not needed for student visa application, they are materials for visiting visa or other type of visa applications.

With student visa application there is nothing like showing home tie or source of your income.

Good luck

NOTED

Emmagency:


1. Add every legal document you have in your possession to prove your credibility and genuineness..

2. Yes, you can print your statement and also apply on the 28th day.. (Like I did mine) You can also print the statement on the day you're going to apply (even though the 28 days ultimatum completed some days back). The rule is that the bank statement must not be more than one month old. Meaning if your 28 days period is from 1st-28th of july, you can print it and apply with it anytime during 29th-28th August.

3. It's no problem. As long as it's a valid address...Will you be staying with them during your stay?

Thanks @ Emmagency

justwise:

2. Its not important to add those or state what you have been doing since then. You can state those if asked at the interview.

3. You can print the bank statement any day from the 28th's day.

4. There is nothing wrong with that.

thanks @ justwise

Hello all,

please ur guidance is highly needed.

2. is it important to state in the form, the additional information section, all i have been doing (like working) so as to show the time frame of when i graduated till now? And do i need to submit my employment documents, pay slip, tax returns and study leave alongside other documents to prove to the ECO of my return back to work after the masters program? cos i was adviced to add these documents because they want to see proof of wat u've been doing and ensure one returns back to home country

3. can i print my statement on exact 28day or shld i put in a day extra say money deposited on 10th July, start counting from 11th July, the 28days period ends 7th August, and i intend to apply and do d registration online on 8th August, and print statement 11th August. So i was hoping to inform the bank officials i need the statement from 10th July - 8th August (is this wise?), so just incase the ECO wants to count from 8th backwards, i get a total of 30days

4. i did my tb test in june even before i got my cas and somhow i put in a family member address in the uk. does this matters because som1 said i was suppose to put the address of the school.

I await ur responses.

mokholar: I have another question ooo... I just say the "hours per week" section in the CAS and it reads 0.0

Does that mean in not allowed to work?

is ur institution a private or public university?

mokholar: Pls I just got my CAS Letter now, pls where can I get the evidence I need to produce at the embassy?

read through the cas details, u'll definitely see what evidence(s) u r to provide towards visa application
