Maintenace Funds - Fixed Deposit dilemma

Post by am33ngrg » Mon Jul 31, 2017 8:08 am

Hi guys,

I'm applying for MBA for september intake.
My tutition fees is around 12000 pounds.
So, I have around 21000 pounds in my father's saving account.
And 10000 pounds in fixed deposit which will be matured in this August.

So, can I use the fixed deposit certificate along with bank statement to complete my maintenance funds?

If not would be appropriate to break the fixed deposit and pay tuition fees from that amount?

That way I guess it will meet the living cost expenses with 21000 pounds.

What do you guys suggest?

so can i just break my father's FD and transfer it to current account. Then make the payment through the current account?

Won't it affect to have 10000 pounds transferred right before paying the fees? as it will be shown in the bank statement transaction

28 day maintenance confusion

Post by am33ngrg » Wed Aug 02, 2017 2:33 pm

Hi guys,

So I'm applying for sept intake and my required funds is 22000 pounds including living cost and total fees.

I have a closing balance of 23000 pounds dated from 4 july to 4 august. However here is my problem:

In 15 July my balance had dropped to 20000 pounds.

But I'm going to make my full payment beforehand.

So, i'm confused if I should meet the 22000 threshold for 28 days or is it just the living cost of 11385 that I should meet for 28 days since I will be paying the full fee.

You are overthinking it. You don't need to pay your fees *and* show that you have the money to pay your fees. That would not be reasonable or logical.

Whatever your CAS says is still to pay for the fees, that's what you need to show. So if you pay in full, have your CAS adjusted so it shows £0 to pay.

so even if I pay the fees in 1 Aug. And the remaining balance will be 12000 pounds after that.

The 20000 pounds balance in 15th july won't matter?

Given your further questions and your confusion about this matter, I suggest you get advice about your application from your Tier 4 sponsor direct. They have an international student adviser whose job is to help their students with these matters.

Bank Statement Date Dillema

Post by am33ngrg » Sun Aug 06, 2017 3:13 pm

Hi I was wondering about the validity of bank statement for tier 4.

My agent told me that I need a statement till the date of application.

For example if i applied on Aug 10 - they want me to show from Jul 10 - Aug 10.

I was wondering if I can use a statement from Jul 5 to Aug 5?

THe reason why I'm saying this is because the UNI asked me for stamped statements 3 times now. And even the bankers are feeling reluctant about giving statement again and again.

So how does it work?

The bank statement should be not older than 31 days from the date of the application so your statemen from 5 july to 5 Aug is fine.

why are the bankers feeling reluctant? its their job to provide statements as many times as you want.

Work Experience

Post by am33ngrg » Mon Aug 07, 2017 2:12 pm

Now I know that in terms of tier 4, it's said that work experience isn't required.

However, I have seen different threads here in this forums about rejection from that as well.

Don't know the validity of the post though.

So, my question is if it's required to fulfill the gap, what happens if i'm not able to compensate one year gap?

i have worked 3 years but one of my previous employer don't want to give me experience letter since i didn't meet their contract terms (in their statement).

So, what do you guys suggest?

Is their any real example of rejection due to work experience problem?

I don't know where you are getting your information about eligibility for a Tier 4 visa, but it seems very confused. What does work experience have to do with a student visa application?

Again, I strongly advise you get information and advice about your application from your Tier 4 sponsor.

you are a customer of the bank and you can ask for their signature and stamp as many times as you want.

also i think with regards to your other queries it is best you read the full guidance of tier 4 which has every information you have asked or required.

no relation of work experience with tier 4, maybe university would have asked but HO is not bothered about this.

NHS cost

Post by am33ngrg » Wed Aug 16, 2017 1:56 pm

Hi,

How much should I actually pay for national health surcharge for 1 year MBA course?

My agent told me I should pay around 225 as I would also get grace period of 5 months in my visa which i really find ridiculous to believe. It generally says 150 pounds on many sites.

Can someone please help me with this?

The visa will be 4 months more than your actual course duration. In postgraduate case, if the course duration is 1 year then you will get visa for 1 year and 4 months.

Application problem

Post by am33ngrg » Fri Aug 18, 2017 10:25 am

Hi,

in 2009, i was rejected for canada visa for student visa.
In the application, I was told that I should give the type of visa rejection and rejection reason.

However, due to my sheer mistake and tension, I lost the application.

And, I can't even remember the exact reason behind rejection.

What should I do in this case??

I just don't know what to write in the box that says give the type of refusal and reason behind it?

Shall I write unknown? And put a cover letter about the loss of application?

Blunder on Application form

Post by am33ngrg » Mon Aug 21, 2017 6:41 pm

My agent has ticked NO for visa refusal on any country in 10 years. Although I have mentioned that I was refused for canada in 2009 and have no knowledge about the rejection in additional information and also covering letter, I think it's still deception.

what should I do? Can I use pen to correct it? Or the additional info and cover letter should do the trick.

Can you please keep ALL your questions/posts on the same application in a SINGLE topic/thread.

There is no need to keep starting a new topic.

The International Student Services at your UK University should help you with all your queries.

Your agent is actually right about the immigration health surcharge. You have to pay 225 which includes the additional 4 months of visa that you get - again get a confirmation from your University.

"For example, if you are planning on studying a 12 month Masters degree at Exeter then the actual length of your Tier 4 visa is 17 months. Therefore you would be charged £150 for the first 12 months and £75 for the remaining 5 months thus £225 in total."

Above excerpt taken from University of Exeter website - http://www.exeter.ac.uk/internationalst ... surcharge/

Works out as 12 months course + 1 month visa (before course start date) + 4 months additional visa (after course end date) - CONFIRM WITH YOUR UNIVERSITY.

Regarding the application form: Make sure you correct the form and sign against the correction (best to correct it than leaving it with an incorrect answer).

Hope that helps.
