Officially the UKVI uses the OANDA rate, check the site (https://www1.oanda.com/currency/converter/ ), but usually, the black market rate is much higher

Nadheer15:
Hi, please what rate per pounds is used

Hi, please I have an important question, on your proof of funds, is it required it explicitly writes a period of time (e.g statement for December 1 to December 28)? I have had my POF for well over 28 days but because my statement doesn't print this period of time in the above-mentioned format, the school hasn't issued me a CAS. It is clear from the dates on each transaction on the statement the funds have been there for well over one month and you can also see my balance, the bank name, logo, contact details and my name and account number, sort-code so don't get why this is a problem. Please is this mandatory from the UKVI? I believe they can also contact my bank if they need to verify anything easily as it's even a UK bank

Same, hope we get it this week as the university closes this friday

Onicglobal:
Would have love to but am still expecting my CAS for Visa application.

Congrats, how long did you wait to get your CAS after submitting documents to the compliance team?

Thatmgbekebabe:


Hello, I’m going to Teesside. Sent a mail to you but no response. Please mail me at pearlkema@gmail.com

Are you going to Imperial College?

Opp27:
Ok. Thanks for this.

Some relief here. I need £43,000 and I have N23m already counting.

Guess am good to go, praying the exchange rate doesn't suddenly shoot up again.

Thanks again.

Please I need clarification...I found the information below on the health surcharge page here https://www.gov.uk/healthcare-immigration-application/how-much-pay

How much you have to pay
You’ll have to pay:

£470 per year for a student or Youth Mobility Scheme visa, for example £940 for a 2-year visa
£470 per year for visa and immigration applicants who are under the age of 18 at time of application
£624 per year for all other visa and immigration applications, for example £3,120 for a 5-year visa


Does this mean my what I'm to pay for a 2 years master's is 940 pounds or 1175 pounds (940 + 235) for the extra months on my visa

I don't understand 705 pounds per year?

Patra123:


I dint know IHS is now £705 ooo. Ah!

Please how long did it take and what school?

Patra123:

Today o.
Thank God

Teesside is slow with CAS issuance or responding to emails regarding that and it's annoying, please how long did it take you to get your CAS? I think you should try calling to speak with someone at the uni

Zemanova:
Hi guys, please what should I do, I've sent a reminder email to update my CAS for my new passport but no response, I also call the teesside university school rep in Nigeria but nothing has been done. I chat with the enrolment advisor from the school. He said I should go on with my visa application and present the two passport, I don't know if this is possible, because he has earlier gave me the international compliance email and number before I informed him that I've sent them email 4 weeks ago to notify them about my change of passport. Pls anyone with good ideal pls enlight me

It's to be in your personal account, are you going to Teesside?

iyambz:
Hello house, I just followed this tread. I’m trying to use my mutual funds account statement for visa application. Will this work? Do you know anybody that has tried this before? Someone just told me I need to move the funds to my personal savings or current account which means I have to wait for another 28 days before I can apply for a visa. My start date is Jan 18. Kindly advise.

hi, please how does paga payment for ihs and visa fee work?, do you have to go to their website or it's available on the visa application site when you are to submit? Sorry if this has been answered before, new to this

why does it take long to get CAS letter nowadays? Please those who got theirs, how long did you have to wait after meeting requirements for CAS?

why were you asked for a new one please?

Osed:


Coventry is so slow, I have fulfilled my conditions waiting on visa funds to confirm my payment and proof of funds which they requested a new one

Is there anyone here going to Teesside uni and have you gotten your CAS? Sent my bank statement since the 27th of November and still waiting...It's getting annoying. Please if you have, how long did it take?

does the first day count (7th November)? If not I will advise he prints out his statement on the 6th of this month

mimilyrics:
Print on the 29th day.

Thanks a lot

mimilyrics:
You don't require a stamp since it originates from a UK bank and UK banks rarely stamp statements. The online bank statement is accepted too. Whichever one you use is up to you.

Hello gurus in the house, is it acceptable if I use a printout of my bank statement as my proof of funds without a stamp (my bank doesn't stamp statements and is a UK bank). Or must it be a copy posted directly from the bank(this option takes about 5 working days)?

Hi please can you send a link where I can see pictures?

Tobexin:
If you are going to Teesside University, there is a 7 unit of tastefully furnished en-suite apartment available in Southfield road, directly opposite the school. Room and toilets is en-suite while only Kitchen is shared. Rent per month is £300 all bills inclusive. Note Bond is required. Interested person could dm me.

yes

iCode2:
I just calculated my IHS fee now and it's £705. Does this mean what I'm paying in total is £1053?
IHS - £705
Visa fee - £348
Total - £1053

Is this calculation correct?

thanks

Mindlog:


I believe one can also have pounds in the domiciliary. account and make payment from it.

Hi, please what is the best way/how do you pay for visa fee and health surcharge since there's a limit on using our naira cards?

Thanks a lot...This question has been on my mind since they don't expect you to continue with your businesses as a student and only parents are allowed as official sponsors. What a relief

omopapa:
They don’t ask but if they do just tell them you are self-funded and can get support from family members of needed

Hello gurus here, I have an important question that just occurred...If doing a 2-year course or more, would they ask how you would finance your 2nd year since what is shown in your proof of funds is the balance of the course fees for the 1st year and the living cost for 9 months?

wow, 1 pound is now 650 naira?

Hi everyone, does bank statement have to be stamped or can I just use a printout? My bank says they don't stamp statements.

Hi, please can anyone say how long it takes to get a CAS letter once you have submitted your bank statement to the school? I applied to Teesside and this was a requirement that has delayed me till now. It's a bit annoying. Sent it to them on Friday, yet to get a response. I've been in Abuja over 2 weeks now because earlier I came in for my tb test. I would like to finish with my application before going back home. Hope I can get a date for biometrics early in December too

Hi, how long did it take you to receive your CAS after you met all the requirements?

Adurami040517:
Ohh, that is good to hear, I have gotten mine too.
Thanks

Please those that have recently applied, when is the earliest date available for biometrics? I travelled to Abuja from ph for tb test, I've gotten the certificate and should be able to apply this week hopefully when I get my CAS. Would I be able to get a date (priority included) within the next 2 weeks from my application?....It would be a lot to go back home and come back here again....Please advise

The earliest date for a student visa is the 29th of December Wow, those of us that haven't applied yet, does this mean we can't get a date this month? What about priority dates?

Preshy2004:
Pls I have visa appointment on the 15th of December can I go with my son and pay for walk in service for him? His own visa is tier4 student visa while mine is visiting visa. The earliest date for students visa is 29th and that is too far.

thanks a lot, I will print it again on Monday then and send to the school to get my CAS, already sent the previous one yesterday but will contact them to explain since it is advisable to use the same statement to get your CAS and do your application

mimilyrics:
Print from the day after because it's the 1st day of the count. Oct 31st - Nov 28 is good.

the UKVI requires students to either be sponsored by a pare/legal guardian, a financial sponsor and self. So is it ok if I am receiving money for my course from a sibling (paid into my own account), does this count as self sponsorship? If my program is for 2 years, would I also be asked how I intend paying for the 2nd year based on this?
