SUMMARY OF MY VISA APPLICATION PROCESS I had issues using my Stanbic Master Card in making online payments. I had thought it would be straightforward and that once the 28days waiting period was up, i would make the IHS and VISA fee payment without breaking a sweat. Well my card kept telling me the information i supplied online was wrong, i called the contact center, visited my branch but they couldn't resolve the issue. I was hoping to book an appointment for the 22nd of December 2015 but i couldn't as a result of this issue. Two things i learnt. 1. Be proactive, always think ahead and envisage hitches 2. Never leave things till the last minute. At the same time i am grateful i didn't book an appointment on the 22nd of December because the only available TLS center for that date was VI and i probably won't have used the priority service. Well that and another reason you would find out shortly. So i finally paid my IHS and VISA fees with the help of my younger sisters Fidelity bank card while my uncle assisted in making the application fee payment and priority fee payment. I booked my appointment for the 29th of December 2015 at the Ikeja TLS center. I got all my docs ready and on the main day i left early. Got there 2hours earlier which actually was a life saver at the end of the day. So on getting there i was approached by some guys asking me if i wanted to take the visa passport photographs. I smiled and told them i had already. He asked to see them and i showed him. He immediately told that they wouldnt accept it because the background was grey. I was shocked because i had read on the UKBA site that the background should be either grey or cream. I took another set of 8 for N1000 with white background. Things were quite expensive there because of the urgency and importance attached to anything relating to visa application. I also had to print the 9 pages TIER4 APPENDIX 8 SELF-ASSESSMENT form i had no clue about. I printed 9 pages for N1400. Thank God i got there earlier as i had to take time to fill the form. This form can be downloaded online for those who would apply in the future so you don't end up spending that much and giving yourself undue pressure at the TLS center. Just simply google it. For those who would use the priority service in the future, when you visit the TLS site make sure you start from the homepage so you can select your country and the TLS center where you booked an appointment on the VISA4U website. For example If you make a wrong choice like paying under IKEJA TLS center instead of VI TLS center, you would have to forfeit the money you paid and you wouldn't be given the priority service. TAKE NOTE. LIST OF DOCS SUBMITTED 1. Updated CAS letter (copy) 2. TB test result (original) 3. IELTS result (original) 4. BSc Certificate (original) 5. Academic reference (original) - Not complusory 6. ECOWAS passport. (Make a copy before going) 7. Bank Statement (original) 8. Visa application form printout 9. Academic Transcript (original) 10. Statement of result (original) 11. Priority payment online reciept printout 12. Appointment Confirmation printout 13. IHS payment confirmation printout 14. TIER 4 SELF-ASSESSMENT APPENDIX 8 FORM INTERVIEW QUESTIONS I WAS ASKED 1. Course start and end date. 2. Course and NQF level 3. Why your choice of university 4. Why the UK 5. Accomodation plan's 5. Course studied at undergraduate level. 6. Years taken to obtain first degree 7. What you currently do at the moment 8. What you hope to get out of studying the course Interview took about 7mins and you would be alone in a small office with a pc in your front and an headset while you speak via a Skype like application to someone in the UK. STAGES OF MY APPLICATION 1. Application submitted online (23/12/2015) 2. Doc submitted at the TLS center (29/12/2015) 3. Application transferred to UKVI (29/12/2015) 4. Application received by UKVI (30/12/2015) 5. Decision made by UKVI (5/1/2016) 6. Doc ready for collection and picked up by me (6/1/2016) In summary with the priority service it took exactly 5days to process my application. Thanks to those who were of great help to me. You guys rock. Cc: justwise, chilez, creamyworkz and 1step2right **Modified** cc: Agustephenogwo - This should answer your questions on documents. 12 Likes 2 Shares |

People, am in a jam. To cut the long story short, the account my dad prepared for the purpose of financial evidence is his own company's account. He owns a 1 man business and that is basically the only account he runs. So UKEAS told me I won't be able to use it. A friend of my mom that works in a bank called earlier and said It is possible to get a letter from the bank that says he's the cole signatory to the account. My question now is will that help, is there any way at all we can use the account cos If I don't, I don't have 28 days anymore and the scholl has refused to issue me the cas. Abeg, pls help.. Please. |

chupcake: Not possible, you can't use that account even with the letter from the bank |

justwise: And they say it had to be either of my folks or is there a way around it where I can use someone else account. Even if I have to make them my legal guardian which brings me to the next question, If that works, how will I do it? |

Do i need bank statements if my state government is sponsoring my maintenance funds and course fees ? |
Re: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered Part 3 by justwise(m): 12:28am On Jan 09, 2016 |
chupcake: That will not work, you don't just pick somebody as your legal guardian as an adult. You did not plan this well early enough to give yourself room for plan B. It's too late now to try any short cut. |
Re: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered Part 3 by creamyworkz: 8:17am On Jan 09, 2016 |
chupcake: If u want to use the legal guardian route, u should be ready to provide a court document as and evidence of ur relationship to your legal guidian, and i honestly dont think there is any paper work for guradianship in the Nigerian legal system. by the way i dont knw if this will work but it shouldnt hurt to try, i think if your dad can meet his bank and change his account name, if he has a good rapport with his account officer, they should be able to change his account name, he'll probably have to go through some processess bt i believe they should, so long as he has an ID dah carries the name he intends to use |

No, you don't. You just need to show proof of funding. However, if there is no proof of funding but they have paid the money into your account, you need to present your bank statement[quote author=lilreese post=41852587][/quote] |

Hey Guys. I commend u all for the good work u people are doing here. Pls, I will like to know whether I can use a 'Letter in lieu of Certificate' issued by my uni Registrar to apply 4 my UK visa since my degree certificate isn't ready. |
Re: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered Part 3 by justwise(m): 11:46am On Jan 11, 2016 |
Realman87: Did you use that letter to gain admission and its listed in your CAS? |
Re: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered Part 3 by Nobody: 11:56am On Jan 11, 2016 |
No I didn't. I used my Student copy of transcript and completion statement/success letter to apply to my school. What is listed on my CAS is my degree certificate. |
Re: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered Part 3 by justwise(m): 11:57am On Jan 11, 2016 |
Realman87: ...and that is all you need to submit for visa application |
Re: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered Part 3 by Nobody: 12:03pm On Jan 11, 2016 |
Yes. What if d certificate is not ready. Can I obtain a 'Letter in lieu of Certificate' from my school's Registrar. Is it acceptable by the UK High Commission. |
Re: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered Part 3 by justwise(m): 12:09pm On Jan 11, 2016 |
Realman87: I doubt that, you shouldn't have used a certificate that is not readily available to you to gain an admission |
Re: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered Part 3 by oamronnie(f): 12:21pm On Jan 11, 2016 |
Just inform your school the certificate is not ready and ask if they can issue another CAS and change the 'degree certificate' to the 'success letter' you have. If they won't, the only way out is to get the degree certificate. Realman87: |
Re: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered Part 3 by Nobody: 12:22pm On Jan 11, 2016 |
I didn't use a certificate to apply. What I used was my student transcript but the schools country rep who is handling my visa says I either get an official traNscript or I obtaiN a letter (in place of a cert) from my school's registrar. My CAS didn't really list any docs. It only said- How suitability was assessed: Course title: Chem engr. Course type: B.Eng. Awarding body: University of PH. |

What am sayin is Under course type, they wrote B.Eng. I don't know whether this is the doc they list. I haven't seen a CAS statement b4 so am not sure. |

Transformium: The statements below were copied from "Guide to supporting documents > Point Based System Tier 4 (General)" If your country does not support online applications you must complete and submit form VAF9 and self assessment form Appendix 8. If you make an online application you must also print it off and submit with your supporting documents. You must only complete the self assessment form Appendix 8 and submit a printed copy with your application form if you are unable to apply online. 1 Like |
