@dduchess90 and other gurus in the house, greetings.. Please I am as confused as confusion as I write this.. I paid for my IHS and VISA fee last week Wednesday before this OANDA RATE INCREASE but I didn't upload my statement of account (POF). My biometrics appointment is on Monday 26th. As at the day I paid my IHS and VISA fee, the money in my account was enough for my POF .. My confusion now is that some people keeps saying that as long as biometrics has not been done, that the rise in OANDA will affect me while others say it's the rate at d day I paid my VISA fee that I should be judging with.. Please can someone enlighten me because I don't know which to believe again

Hi Everyone,

Please the MA is currently running POF (Started June 15) but with this new floating naira update, the funds may not even be enough for him.

I as the dependent will start my POF on Monday.

My Question is, say MA has 16Million in his account and that doesn't cover him eventually, can he also upload the dependent’s bank statement that covers his remaining balance? Ofcourse, Dependant will write the appropriate consent letter.

Your response means a lot.

Thanks.

Hello


Hearsays do not help at all

The ECO will refer to the Oanda rate on your application date which is the day you paid your visa and IHS

If you are unsure of what day it was log back to your application using your sign on details and download a copy of your visa application form. You should be able to see the date of application, you can then compare that with the rate on Oanda that day

Ignore some people,focus on your biometrics


Cheers

Good day all,
Pls help on how to calculate pof for 2 years course. Should I calculate it for only the first year tuition or both years plus maintenence?
Thanks.

RisingGiant:
Guys, I have a question.

An acquaintance (about 22 years of age) wants to study in Uk. She’s spoken to some agent and they advise that she keeps whatever POF in her own account. But I’m thinking, would the VO not question that kid’s source of funds? She’s got no work experience. Would it be better to use her sponsor’s (dad’s sister) bank statement instead?

My tuition fee comes to a total of 21,050 pounds, and I have already paid 8,000 pounds, , I have 24m in my POF account + 6,400 USD,I'm going with 2 dependant, please am i good to go?

adesbaba:
@’duchess and all,please ....I want to seek for little clarification.


1)Can one book TB appointment with an expired passport,say expired in March as the person will be getting renewed passport around July 18?

2) for someone whose passport will be out say August 5 ,can the person still book TB test after that August 5 to travel as dependent with M.A for September intake.



3).Let's say M.A applies for visa 20th august with POF for both of them,,
Can the dependent apply say a week after,like 28th Aug, with same POF bank statement or will it be seen as fund recycling.

duchess90:
Hello

Combining statements are easier when it is the same person that owns both accounts

It starts to get tricky when combined accounts that belongs to different people are used even though they are spouses and parents


Whilst It is possible to do so,make it clear what bank statement covers what for the ECO to track. The consent letter should state what the dependant is covering/sponsoring and to an extent why ( Oanda exchange is not a reason) including reiterating that the MA has access to the funds and vice versa.


You may exclude the why but don't be surprised if the ECO requests the additional information later or maybe will not be bothered

In summary Yes you can

Hope this helps

Cheers

Another question
I have one dependant and his IHS was paid 2 days ago but his visa fee is not yet paid. I stated in the application that he will be going with me. With this OANDA rate increase, I have added more money to my pof because that's d same account my dependant will use for his pof. Since my dependants visa fee has not been paid, I feel he will have to wait for another 28 days for the newly money I added because of OANDA increase to mature before he will go for his own biometrics.. Since I have already indicated that I will be traveling with him, is it allowed for me as the MA to do my biometrics since the OANDA rate as at when I paid my own visa and ihs fee was good and my dependant to wait more 28 to 29 days for the new additional money to mature
