Applying for Tier 4 Visa before having the bank statement?

[foxylady]

Is it possible to do the Tier 4 (general) student Visa online application to the UK before having the bank statement issued?

I have all the necessary documents ready to apply for a Tier 4 (general) visa except the bank account statement which I can only have by the end of July. This is because I can only go back next week (beginning of July) to the country from where I will be applying, open the bank account and wait for 28 consecutive days (till end of July)

As the rules of applying to a tier 4 visa state:
A Tier 4 (General) student must show that he/she has held the required money for a consecutive 28 day period (finishing on the date of the closing balance) ending no more than 1 month before his/her application.

I wonder if the only way is to wait for having all the documents to be read and then apply?
or
I can do the online application now while waiting for the bank statement and book a meeting date after having the all the documents?

Please help me figure out how to solve this puzzle. I will be grateful to hear your advice and opinions. Thank you in advance.

You should wait for bank statements.

I am a Moroccan resident in Italy and I want a Tier4 Student visa for the UK; the courses I want to attend start on September 24 and I am afraid I will be given the meeting for the visa too late.

The rules state: “A Tier 4 (General) student must show that he/she has held the required money for a consecutive 28 day period (finishing on the date of the closing balance) ending no more than 1 month before his/her application. “

I want to make sure I have an early meeting date in the Visa Application Centre and I have a doubt:

This rule means that the application cannot be done more than one month after the 28 days period ending date BUT it does not mean that the application cannot be done before the 28 days period ending date. CORRECT?

SO provided that
1) I already have the money in the bank from 5 days,
2) I am sure the money will stay where it is and
3) I will have the correct bank statement on the day of the meeting,
CAN I DO THE APPLICATION NOW (BEFORE THE 28 DAYS PERIOD ENDING DATE)?

Please help me figure out how to solve this puzzle. I will be grateful to hear your advice and opinions. Thank you in advance.

No, 28 days must be completed before application date otherwise UKBA will refuse your visa application.

Hi Deviser!!

Thank you for your answer. In fact, I am waiting for the 28 days to be completed.
