This topic has come up before ..... but as none of us works in UKVI , it best to play it safe when it comes to giving you an advice..... I would say from personal experience I worked with like 3 people and we used that one with lower rate(524 method) and it was absolutely fine. It never occured to us to even look at the other rate because in my opinion that not how you calulate exchange rate

However both conversation are there and can lead to even UKVI using whichever you think is right or wrong way .... so if i were you . If you dont want to start counting again and use that
Then include a cover letter, Just one page saying you submitting this application based on today's exchange rate on oanda, and include a screen shot in that cover letter (of the 524 only ) ...... that way the case officer knows you are using that exchange rate which is a legitimate conversion rate for that date . Let that cover letter be the first pdf of your bank statement

Thanks for this advise. Really helped.

Dependant Visa gotten!

What kind of questions should a dependant (husband) who is travelling alone expect from the immigration at POE?

Hello my people, I’ve been following this thread from page 4, which I decided to start the processing for me, my wife and a kid.

I’ve got admission from University of Hull - £9000 (2k initial deposit)- One year

On the other hand I got with Teesside University - £7,500 per year (4K initial deposit)- 18months. For first year £5,500.

Please, I need opinion on which one is better and easy to make my wife and kid join me. Considering jobs opportunities and other essential factors.

I will really appreciate responses

I will pick Hull.

Please I want to know if any Jan 22 has gotten pick up mail.

Please this number called me, picked and could hear anything: 019064830
Is that the number UKVI uses to call

LagosismyHome:


It would have been great if someone can count backward ...however the official guidelines states that UKVI use the exchange rate from the day that you submit your visa application to UKVI

So while your 28 days can be anywhere within a month range the rate that will be used is the date of application

So as a caution we advice there that when depositing money you must be aware that the exchange rate can fluctuate so please please put some buffer . If the exchange rate dont favour you then you either wait and be checking daily if it falls , add more money or pay more school fees....but do not apply using faith, hope or other things we Nigerian say ...lol

Lolz...
And I've followed you wella o. The thing flew from 509 to 534

Today is 518, do you mean if I submit today, that what will be used counting backwards?? Won't the 533 of 5th affect the calculation?

OR is it that they check each day's rate Vs balance?

Do they use opening or closing balance?

Sorry for the plenty questions...

Thanks Lagosismyhome.

And the money became insufficient on the 35thbday. Can I just count 30 back? That will be more than enough, because rate was around 518. Will that help at all?

I've read a lot about my situation in hours, and I must say you are a GIFT to Nairaland! Thanks Sis

Okay i hope it is fit and suitable for the UK weather?

Sure.

Please who has a plug for a winter coat in Lagos?

Me. 3k+, depending on your taste and mouth

Victorex001:


If I may ask, for me who’s submitting my application tomorrow, must I print out the exchange rate too or I shouldn’t bother. My money is enough for 540 exchange rate and below.
I added extra 500k when the rate was 515/N

Looking forward to hearing from you.
Thanks

I heard it's the opening balance they use not closing. So the #500k you added along the line may not work, unless you are starting the count from they point.

I'M NOT SURE O. Let's wait for experts to comment.

Victorex001:


Oanda exchange rate right now is 518.

When was this 533 rate pls?

5th January.

Which of these rates is right? The higher would mean I have to start 28days counting all over, as the fund will fall below required .

I'm a dependant. Husband already got his Visa.

Thanks, I think you might be right though. I received collection mail shortly after I sent the paid email.

Interestingly, I also received a response from the paid email asking me to provide further details about my application. Apparently the paid email I sent had no influence on the collection mail I received.

Pls reply my PM. Plz

Please who knows anyone that apply to university of Plymouth, or any one going there

Got an offer from them, but not going.

Good morning everyone.

Please who knows any Uni outside London that has Adult Nursing (MSc), May/June/August Start?

The ones I'm seeing only have September/ January starts.

Please help

kingsilly:

How is this possible if it’s been more than 30days after you got your CAS, you’ll have to print a new statement, you might be right about different banks, but he should be able to print another one from the bank submitted to university

I'm also right about the exact copy... Some Unis just don't want stories. They want us to use what they are convinced is right It's their CAS at stake

jay3012:
Guys how una dey?.. Please is it possible to use a different bank statement from the one I sent to school for embassy. I mean still my personal account but different banks

Some schools will state that it's compulsory you use same statement - not only same bank, but the exact copy they verified.

Pls when did you apply for the UBA form A? I've been waiting...

Good morning my people. Please is it true that only Ikoyi registry is recognized. And will church marriage certificate, wedding photos, family photos and chats be enough in dependant Visa application? Biko

awumen:

No,yet to receive any form from Teeside.
When does the form usually come, immediately after submission of application?

You should get that between 3-5 days after submitting your application. I don't think you can get a decision without this.

awumen:

I submitted application three days ago .
Was it DIY or an agent and how long did you wait for offer letter?

Have they sent you a UKVIconsent form? The wait is usually between 5-10 working days.

blazerjewel:
Thanks for d quick response but do I print out like 2 or 3 months statement..

Your mum or mother inlaw is better

Thanks Sis. This means my Mum will come as visitor, while they come in as dependants. I kinda like this option. I just fear issues at entry.

Can all the applications be done from UK? Tests, etc.

LagosismyHome:


What kind of visa do you intend for the children to travel with ?. Visting or dependent visa and will the children be going back

I think it not Mandatory to bring dependent as it a personal choice so you shouldnt be faulted either way

Easiest way would be a parent travelling. Airlines used to do "unaccompanied minor " those days but dont know if they still do that or what the current rule . Check some airlines if it still done.

LagosismyHome, I really appreciate your response. The children will also be coming as dependants and they are not going back until we are through. We hope to use the best option at the end of the day sha. Thanks so much.

I greet the elders here o.

Please how can a couple on tier 4 Visa, who didn't travel to UK with the kids come back to pick them for a visit before the end of a 16 months study?
Can a relative or friend help bring them?

Please share your thoughts my seniors... Biko, Ejo o

Pls I need more advise from people who have successfully done this.
