Im a little confused about something. For those who have gone for the Tier 4 interview before, is there a face to face interview where you are asked questions? because I have seen allusions to that on this site. Secondly since I have exceeded my 28 days count, and applied online. I still have my maintenance funds but I need to use them to make my accommodation payment. Could the embassy check my bank account. And if they do and find that a significant amount is missing, how do I explain that i used it to pay for accommodation in London? Thanks guys |

MrMarcus:congrats Mr Marcus. For the PTA must the flight ticket be a return ticket not one-way |

dannyabba: Greetings! I never paid for any priority visa considering my calculations, it takes max. 15working days so I was on course as my counting shows first/early second week of August duration for max. stipulated working days. Thanks. 1 Like |

bidosko: Greetings! Mine was one way. However you might get that lucky like me though CBN policy says its a return ticket thing. what I did; with a lot of smiles, I pleaded with the lady to call her boss and request since I met other criteria to which the man on the other end of the line told her to use my admission letter. Thus it depends on who you met and the persons mood. its a flexible rule. Thanks. |

Kriptic: Greetings well received! Thanks my man.. Its often cool one takes some risk and responsibility having studied a situation. For instance.. everybody would prefer going to Abj cos there is the gist that the visa is faster cos of lower usuage probably because of its location. however, what if over 90% of applicants goes there? ofcos other VAC becomes almost vacant hence less traffic. Anyone applying showed prepare one's self early enough and work with 15 working days. Generally irrespective of your VAC it doesn't exceed that for tier4 visa. Two people I met there where issued REFUSAL cos of poor planning. |

But really has anyone used the priority service for Tier 4 visa. On Telepeformance website, it initially shows that Tier 4s are allowed to use it. but when you are about to pay, Tier 4 is no longer there. |

Bamz: You are to apply for 3 different courses. You can apply for the courses in the same school so it doesn't have to be in three different schools. I applied for it but my heart was not in it and when they sent me a mail that my references had to send the referral letter with a paid email address/school owned address, I didn't bother them at all. My heart was not in it because of the IELTS they require you to do and there were some other rules I didn't like. |

MrMarcus: Poor planning how? What happened? |
Re: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered Part2 by Petitediva14(f): 11:00am On Aug 08, 2015 |
MrMarcus: Thanks for your tips. Did first bank give you cash or the pta card? I asked one of their staff and he said they don't give cash anymore. But I am a bit skeptical about the card working in the atm machines in UK. I have never used their card outside Nigeria. |

Petitediva14: *One paid but wasn't reflected on CAS and had just maintenance fund in account tho telex copy of payment was attached. * The other was refused visa previously cos of insufficient home ties. |
Re: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered Part2 by MrMarcus(m): 11:04am On Aug 08, 2015 |
Petitediva14: Not all banks/bank branch have the boldness to do PTA. Everyone I met there was given cash. never heard of any card probably the person you met was trying to market his product. |

Petitediva14: Well I don't have IELTS too. I'd have to take it. I just feel I'm good enough for this since I got a 2.1 plus 2+ years work experience. Did you eventually get another scholarship? What were your reservations about Chevening? |

dannyabba: Me too. I'm stuck between paying for priority service at either VI or Abuja. Which one is faster? |
Re: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered Part2 by Petitediva14(f): 6:54pm On Aug 08, 2015 |
Bamz: There was a part where they said that you had to come back home immediately you are through with the program and I think they said you can't even go back to the U.K until a certain period had passed (I think 2 years or so). Though I don't know what my plans after the masters degree are right now, I am not interested in a restrictive scholarship. Just the thought of it was making me feel like I had entered a super binding agreement and I was not comfortable with it. Yes I did. It is not a full scholarship but it has no restriction whatsoever. My only obligation is to act in an ambassadorial capacity once in a while. And I am more than comfortable with that. 1 Like |

thababe: Maybe it was changed last year. I think they adjust their rules every year. Thank you, i am so grateful i got the scholarship because i know it is not easy to get one. Thank God he still provided for you... |

Petitediva14: @justwise, spikec and anyone. please i need clarification o. In the question, have you been issued any visa for the uk, uk overseas territories? yes I have been issued visa before. however, i dont know what to fill in Date of Issue and Date of Expiry. Is the date my visa was issued and when it expired. Or is it the date my international passport was issued and when it will expire. |
Re: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered Part2 by thababe: 10:58pm On Aug 08, 2015 |
Usqoh. Its date of visa.. Pls see what gtb sent.. does thd highlighted part mean u cant pay ur fees with ur card? I was going to do gorm A but for some absurd reason my school says they dont accept transfers from over seas accounts. Only card payments or western union.

Petitediva Thank God! |
Re: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered Part2 by thababe: 11:07pm On Aug 08, 2015 |
Sorry for all the posting but im wondering if one can get pta from different banks? |
Re: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered Part2 by Petitediva14(f): 11:44pm On Aug 08, 2015 |
usqoh: There is a part where they ask if it is in any commonwealth countries like Ghana, south Africa, Australia and the rest. You have to state your purpose there and the day the visa was issued and when it expired. Then they also aks if you have been to any other country apart from UK, UK territories and commonwealth countries like France, uae, Saudi Arabia etc... Check your passport/visa the day of issue is there. |
Re: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered Part2 by Petitediva14(f): 11:49pm On Aug 08, 2015 |
thababe: You can only get pta of $4000 from one bank every quarter. Once you get it, your passport would be stamped and no other bank would give you again that quarter. As for the useless limit they have put, i have no choice than to pay for my remaining fees through form A (God willing I would be granted the visa). I don't need CBN and Naija wahala while I am there. However if all these is to make Nigerian's economy better then we all need to bear with the government and pray that everything they are doing works. It is all good. My problem is that return ticket o. I had no plan of booking a return ticket. I wonder if they would accept a one way ticket. |

thababe: The idiots when sending it did not let people know that it is only those with current accounts that they prefer to do form A transfers for.....*nonsensebank* By the way I have a current account with them but the staff I met when I wanted to do the transfer were clueless. ![]() |

@ Petitediva14 and thababe. thanks. does it mean one cannot pay for visa online through gtb cos it is only it i use for internet banking and have token for. Unfortunately, money is not in d account now as i am waiting till Monday to transfer money there. |

I hope the sale of the dollars will extend to early September, cos we are hearing new rules everyday, I don't have my docs with me here |
Re: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered Part2 by justwise(m): 6:29am On Aug 09, 2015 |
usqoh: Check your passport and you will see all the info....e.g the date the visa was issued, if you have used the visa then look for entry and exit stamps on your passport. You will see entry stamp into the UK and Nigerian immigration stamp of the day you returned to Nigeria. They are asking about the visa and not your passport |

Re: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered Part2 by idolda: 7:50am On Aug 09, 2015 |
