Hello everyone.Just a quick question.If the postgraduate programme in the UK is for 16 months,how many months visa will be issued? Will it be 9 months maintenance money I will need to show evidence for or more considering the fact that the program is 16 months as against the usual 12 months.Thanks

Good day people,
I applied for a general visit Visa last week and got an email from abuja.visaenquiries@fco.gov.uk stating that
"Your application has been approved and the visa has been issued. We aim to return passports to the VAC within two working days..."

This morning, I got an email from tpcontact.co.uk stating that "UK Visas & Immigration has now assessed your UK visa application and made a decision. Your documents and the decision will be sent back to the either the UK Visa Application Centre where you applied, where we will contact you by email over the next few days to collect them, or if you are using the courier return service, will be sent directly back to the address you provided.

What do these 2 seperate emails mean? Please kindly advice.

pato231:

simply means your visa has been approved.the email from tpcontact.co.uk is just to notify you also,you should work with the approved email received from abuja.visaenquiries@fco.gov.uk....congrats and thank you for gate crashing on the UK student visa thread

Required maintenance fund is for 9 months. The same principle applies for undergraduate

You will be given a visa that will cover the duration of your course plus additional 4 months.

Your second question is answered above.

@all, I applied for MSC management @ Salford Uni on Sunday 2nd November and they gave me a conditional admission on Tuesday 4th November. I'm a bit worried about how fast the process went and if they really accessed my application effectively. I was informed to pay 4400 British pounds to make my offer unconditional and to get ma CAS. Please is this really how long it takes? How long does it take for one to get CAS after payment? Is it advisable to pay the full tuition fee?. Thanks

pato231:


When you applied you submitted your academic qualifications online right,they sure will have assessed you based on the qualification you filled you have and submitted.Yes you have to make some deposit of your fees to guarantee your place and receive your CAS which is needed in applying for the visa.My CAS was issued same day the university confirmed payment,but i think it varies,but should be maximum 5 days,i paid my full fees,and i know lots of people here who also did,it all depends on you but either way ensure you have the remaining fees plus maintenance money in your bank account if you pay only the 4400 pounds deposit.

ironbender101:


Thanks Bro. Does making full payment count? Because logically I think it gives an upper hand, just ma view oh!

Hi OP,

Please, I have an issue, I applied for UK Student visa some years back. The entry officer dined me and also[b] kept back my original certificates[/b] Is there a way I can retrieve my certificates, especially the WAEC certificate.
Awaiting your kind response(s).

worry359:


This looks like they have decided that your papers were fake, that is usually why they are not returned.
(Please don't argue on here as no one can change this now.)
You now need to get copies from the place that issued the certificates. (school Etc.)

Alternatively you can contact the exam body if you are very sure that the certificate is original...Ask for an authentication letter from them and send it to the Embassy.. It is not that easy to collect an orinal certificate twice.

shellliver:


Thanks, exactly the problem, collecting the certificate twice...

Will see how requesting a letter from WAEC will end.
And will try figuring what to do out

Thanks

@spikec sorry to disturb you,but I know you have an idea of a possible outcome for administrative review,since mine is on 20days with no response,is there a need for panic? And please when do they normally request passport for the visa,is it after or before the 28days elapses?

pato231:


Do not take this sitting down,they assumed the certificates are all fake so you should do all to prove them wrong and get it back,you should have been more proactive and resilient.You should have had a lawyer to them requesting they return the certificates,they have no right to hold on to the certificate if they are all original,and if its fake they are obligated to hand them over to the police who will arrest and prosecute.Waec will never issue you another certificate,at best you can get a ctc.

@all, I'm very grateful for all yours answers. I feel more confident and guided. Please I have another question. My school fees and maintenance fees are in one account and I have started counting from 3rd of November so as to meet up with the 28days rule. I want to pay ma tuition fees in full from the same amount. Is this ok? Also I have some money fixed in another bank which is a little bit above ma maintenance money and tuition fee and it is fixed in my name for sometime now tho it dropped and I re-fixed it on the 3rd of November too. Is it wise to add all these funds while applying for a visa? Is the money not so big for a student (tho I have my own registered business and family business). Thanks
