- Hi Mudassir
From the details you provided, your bank statements are within the required period. As long as the balance you maintained is enough, they should be fine.
Did you have your closing balance converted into GBP on your balance certificate letter?
As long as the rest of your documents and application forms are in order, there shouldn’t be any problems.
Where will you be studying Mudassir?
- Hi Samuel
Are you applying from your own country or within the UK for a visa extension?
There is no right of appeal under the new PBS system, only the right to an administrative review. All this detail should be included with your sister’s visa refusal documents.
Out of curiosity, why did she provide two different signatures?
- Hi Shafiq
With whom has there been lack of contact?
What college did you enrol with?
- Hi there
I assume that you will be taking legal action against the agent who did this? Please also provide details of the agency so that other students don’t fall into the same trap.
Obviously the BHC takes a very dim view of fraudulent documents. I would strongly suggest you take immigration law advice with how to proceed. I imagine that in the eyes of the BHC, any accusation from you against your agent would not be permissible until guilt is established in a court of law. In any case, they may well not be able to judge whether you colluded with the agent or not.
You may find it hard convincing the BHC that you did not know the bank certificate was not genuine considering you did not obtain it from a bank.
Can you provide some more details as to exactly what happened with your agent? From what I understand from your comment, you gave your agent the required maintenance funds and asked them to open a new bank account for you? I’m confused as to how they could speed up the process given the funds need to be in the account for a minimum of 28 days? I’m also confused as to the amounts that were deposited. Please explain the whole process carefully so I can consider all the details.
And once again, in this kind of situation you should seek fully qualified legal advice.
I look forward to hearing from you soon jpam.
- Hi Rose
Courses at this level are now considered to be restricted. Therefore, your college must have been given highly trusted status for you to make a visa extension. However, your application should be judged on the rules that were in place when your submitted and paid for your application.
With regards to writing to the Home Office and changing the type of application; I do not think this will be possible as you would have not submitted the correct forms and supporting documents.
Have you been able to get any update from the Home Office about your application? If you’re frustrated by no response, you could consider making a formal complaint in order to get answers, as there are very strict timeframes for responses when it comes to complaints.

- LCBM College will not refund me despite valid visa refusal
Hi NishI emailed you about your case against LCBM; I’d love to have a chat with you to write an article about your action. I think it’s important to give the issue as much exposure as possible.
I’m sure you’ll keep us all posted on your progress; it’s great to know that people like yourself have the inclination to follow through and seek legal redress.
Best of luck.
- Frustrated with VFS and my UK Student Visa Refusal
Hi HarryI understand your frustration: how can you prepare the required financial documents without knowing the date of appointment?
Unfortunately it seems the only thing you can do is to wait for notification of an appointment. Why this system is in place when you can book appointments online in other countries is beyond me.
Keep us posted on your progress and best of luck.
- Indian Tier 4 Student Visa Refusal Because of Bank Statements
Hi SamiThanks for coming back to me.
What was the outcome of your appeal? I’m still quite surprised that they did not offer you the chance to resit your exams. Most allow this, but of course severley restrict the grade you will be able to achieve.
What university are you studying at?
I think that as your extension came after 5 October 2009 this brings you under the new Tier 4 rules. You should check this with the UKBA yourself.
If that’s the case, you will need to make a fresh application to change sponsor. The rules for changing to an A or B rated college have now changed: you will have to wait until you get permission from the Home Office before starting your course. If you are changing to a Highly Trusted sponsor, then you are able to start your new course immediately, but entirely at your own risk.
As your university has cancelled your registration they will have no choice but to report this to the UKBA. You should therefore give this matter your urgent attention and get your status sorted.
- Student Visa Extension – Errors on Application Form
Hi JayYou need to look carefully at the documents the Home Office have sent you. Have they permitted you to make another application? Have they told you you must leave the country?
If you apply again, you will need to fulfil all the criteria of the application. So, you will be subject to the same maintenance requirements.
You should submit your application ASAP as you currently have no valid leave to remain in the UK.
You will need a new CAS number as each one is only valid for one application. Check this with your sponsor.
Given the details of your case, it would be worthwhile to discuss the details with a fully regulated immigration lawyer, details are available from the OISC.
- Points Based Tier 4 for Students to be Phased in Next Year
Hi AdeelAs a guide, your dependants should include:
- evidence of their relationship to you;
- evidence that you can support them and live without needing any help from public funds; and
- a copy of the pages from your passport/travel document showing your permission to stay, if you are already in the UK.Any documentary evidence that the family member provides must be the original (not a copy).
Where a document is not in English or Welsh, the original must be accompanied by a fully certified translation by a professional translator. This translation must include details of the translator’s credentials and confirmation that it is an accurate translation of the original document. It must also be dated and include the original signature of the translator.
The maintenance requirements for a family member of a Tier 4 (General) Student depends on the following circumstances:
- the length of the course;
- where the main applicant will be studying in the United Kingdom; and
- whether the main applicant already has an established presence studying in the United Kingdom.How many months money does a family member of a Tier 4 (General) Student need
A family member of a Tier 4 (General) student must show that he/she has enough money to cover his/her monthly living costs whilst the student is studying in the United Kingdom.
The amount of money a family member has to show will depend on whether the student already has an established presence studying in the United Kingdom. Where a student has an established presence studying in the United Kingdom, the family member will need to show less money for living costs.
A student has an established presence studying in the United Kingdom if:
- He/she has completed a course that was at least six months long within their last period of leave, and this leave finished within the last four months; or
- He/she is applying for continued study on a course where he/she has studied at least six months of that course and has been studying within the last four months; or
- He/she is applying to continue in Tier 4 as a Sabbatical Officer or as a Postgraduate Doctor or Dentist and he/she has completed a course that was at least six months long within his/her last period of leave, and this leave finished within the last four months.A family member can qualify for the reduced maintenance levels whether he/she is applying from inside the United Kingdom or from overseas.
Where a student does not have an established presence studying in the United Kingdom, the family member must show that he/she has money for his/her living costs for each month of the students course up, to a maximum of 9 months.
A student with an established presence studying in the United Kingdom must show that he/she has money for his/her living costs for each month of his/her course up, to a maximum of 2 months.
The family member of a Tier 4 (General) Student where the student does not have an established presence in the United Kingdom
If the Tier 4 (General) Student is studying in inner London
The family member of a Tier 4 (General) Student who is studying in inner London must have £533 per month up to a maximum of 9 months, to support himself/herself.
If the Tier 4 (General) Student is studying in outer London or anywhere else in the United Kingdom
The family member of a Tier 4 (General) Student who is studying in outer London or anywhere else in the United Kingdom must have £400 per month up to a maximum of 9 months, to support himself/herself.
The family member of a Tier 4 (General) Student where the student does have an established presence in the United Kingdom
If the Tier 4 (General) Student is studying in inner London
The family member of a Tier 4 (General) Student who is studying in inner London must have 2 months maintenance of £533 per month, to support himself/herself.

The family member of a Tier 4 (General) Student who is studying in outer London or anywhere else in the United Kingdom must have 2 months maintenance of £400 per month, to support himself/herself.
You will need to show:
- Personal bank or building society statements covering a 28 day period ending no more than one month before the date of the application; or
- Building society passbook covering a 28 day period ending no more than one month before the date of the application.You will also need:

I couldn’t agree more. Students are very important contributors to the UK economy and tightening up on student visa rules could have a negative impact. I also worry about a drop in the number of visas granted following the revelation that the recent people arrested in the UK on suspected terrorism charges, were all in the UK on student visas.
However, that aside, I do think that the new Tier 4 system will be of benefit to students in the long term; entry clearance officers’ decisions will now be entirely objective, rather than based on their opinion, and this can only be a good thing.

I do not think the uk are fair considerin student visas, especially the 10 years bound placed on student for sumittin forged documents, wether part of the application or not, or wether owned by appplicant or not. imagine a student who has paid all her fees, n even employed the services of an agent sothat they won’t have problems with the comission, given a 10 years bound cos the comission said tax clearance summited as part of sponsor’s supportin document isn’t genuine, the student decided to reaply n even went to court to swear an affidavit with her sponsor n also made a genuine tax clearance n also wrote to the commision that her sponsor was fraudulently issued a fake tax clearance n dat there was no way he could detect the error in the tax clearance cos all previous tax was paid by his last employer united bank for africa untill he voluntarily retired to join private business. the student was also refused a second time statin that she was under a 10 year bound. this is really bad, i thought u have to prove to the comission that u r actually going to the U.K to study. the student decides to go on appeal n it is takin longer than it sopose to what oda option does this student have cos she is soppose to b in skool by september or should her dreams of going to uk b chattered for something she knows nothing about

Hom office is inhuman! They have this f….ed up system for students that is not necessary. They see us as criminals. At the end of the day, aren’t we the ones who is making rich this country for over a decade now. I dont know why they dont give us the right to work after studies after we contribute so much financially and they give the right to stay to immigrants that have come to uk to stay on council houses and work at the some time without home office knowing it. Why ? I dont seem to get?
they are so unfair with students. How can a person stay legally in Uk for 10 years to get indefinite live to stay in uk?! It is absurd! and impossible , they can’t get more mean than this!!

Hi Blueberry
Thanks for your comments. I understand your concern and frustration.
I think the result of the introduction of the Points Based System will iron out some of the problems you raised. I don’t think it would be a good idea for students to receive the right to work after their studies, without further application. Remember, a student visa is only a temporary visa and I think it does make sense to stay that way.
Don’t forget that students can stay after their studies to work, but they have to switch to a different Tier in the Points Based System. Also, you can’t stay in the UK for 10 years on a student visa and then qualify for indefinite leave or citizenship. This is because a student visa is a type of visit visa, not settlement. This is a common misconception, often used to lure bogus students to the UK with false promise (in my opinion).

Hi Muhammad
When you say someone withdrew the money, you do mean yourself? As Western Union money transfers are secure and you had the money wired into your account?
Unfortunately, if you do not meet the requirements for maintenance then your application will be refused. There is no flexibility on the issue. I’m not sure why you gave them all the details about the money going missing as that wouldn’t help.
Do you have a copy of the Appendix 8 Form you completed?
If your visa has been refused then your college should refund you – where are you studying and do you have their terms and conditions?

Do you mean that you need to renew your student visa? If so, you can renew your visa in the UK whilst your college is suspended from the Tier 4 Register of Sponsors, but you’re application will be put on hold until the suspension is lifted.
So you shouldn’t have to apply to a new college, unless your current college has their licence withdrawn permanently.

Hi Adnan
I think you will have to wait for your education provider’s suspension to be lifted. After that your school or college can then issue you with a Confirmation of Acceptance For Studies, which is essentially a reference number, which you can then provide to VFS.
If you apply with a different college I’m pretty sure you will have to make a fresh application, so your appeal and all that time waited will have been in vain!
Keep me posted on your situation Adnan.

Hi Farooq
If you’ve won a review but the sponsor’s licence is withdrawn permanently, your visa will be invalid and so too will be the review, from what I understand. Do you have enough time left on your visa to wait or do you need to change sponsor immediately?

Hi
I have been refused UK Visa Tier-4 under 245ZV and 320(7A). The BHC is not satisfied with my bank statement and they said its not genuine. I checked it multiple times with my bank and i’m sure that my bank statement is 100 % genuine. If I file a fresh application, how can i satisfy the BHC that my bank statement is genuine? As i am actually in possession of funds, moving the funds is not a problem for me! I’m considering to open an account in a British bank (maybe Barclays or HSBC) and transfer my funds into that account to prove that I’m actually in possession of funds. Will that help?
Waiting for your response.

hi i was refused under section 320 of the immigration rules i can provide all the evidences infavour my innosence. They send me back fro heathrow. I finished one of course their in sept2008 after a year study and took admission inmay 2009 for ACCA in LSBF. But when i was going back to uk from my india visit they detained me and send me back even i had all the relevant papers in my hand regarding my new admission. But i applied again and they banned me for ten years. They have written in the refusal letter that the docs produced by me to take admission for ACCA course is not mentioned in the visa letter which is really not my fault as i provided everything to FBT to get my admission there. I have applied for the administrative reviewbut havent got any reply or acknowledgement yet. May be it was not forwarded by the Omnisol helping hand a immigration consultant. because he always denied to give the copy which was send by hime for the review. So plz suggest me what should i do and if possible i would like to fight for my case because whatever happened to me was unjustice.

Hi
The exact refusal notice is as follows:
ECO Comment:
You have claimed 10 points for maintenance. However, the back statement you have provided does not demonstrate that you were in possession of the required level of funds as it has found to be non-genuine. I am therefore not satisfied that you have achieved 10 points under paragraphs 10 – 13 of Appendix C and meet the requirements to be granted entry clearance under tier 4 (General) Student). I therefore refuse your application under paragraph 245ZV(c) of the immigration rules.
General Grounds for Refusal
ECO Comment:
You have submitted a statement of account issued by the National Bank Of Pakistan. However, as a result of checks made by this office, detailed in a document verification report, I am not satisfied that this document is genuine. As a false document has been submitted in relation to your application, it is refused under Paragraph 320(7A) of the Immigration Rules. I consider this reliance on suspect documentation as an attempt to gain entry clearance by deception.
You should note that because this application for entry clearance has been refused under paragraph 320(7A) of the Immigration Rules, any future applications may also be refused under paragraph 320(7B) of the immigration rules (subject to requirements set out in 320(7C)).
A refusal under 320(7B) of the immigration Rules attracts an automatic refusal period of up to 10 years. The period starts from the date of the previous event in which the deception or submission of falsified document or information was employed.
As your application has been refused on general grounds, it is also refused under paragraph 245ZV(a)
What should i do now? Someone told me that if i file a fresh case, it will be automatically refused under the the paragraph 320(7B), which means i am screwed for 10 years!!! Is it true? What options do i have now?

Hi Smart
It seems that you will now be subject to a 10 year ban on applying for a UK student visa for submitting false documents. Unless you were given the right of appeal, there is nothing you can do about his. You should certainly be having strong words with your bank to find out what the hell is going on.
Did you submit original copies and have you tried to alter them in any way?

The copies i submitted were original and they were not altered in any way!
I am soon filing a review with an apology letter from the bank manager. I have already transferred my funds to Barclays and will attach the new bank statement from Barclays. I am also submitting a letter from Barclays bank manager which clearly states that funds were transferred to my new account from the account which the BHC thinks is not genuine! i think this will pretty much prove the point! I hope they’ll lift the ten year ban

Hi Fakhar
The majority of schools and colleges will now require proof of English ability. You should seriously consider studying for the IELTS or equivalent. The score you will need will vary from school to school. The minimum for a student visa is 3.5, but this is for language courses. Providers of ACCA courses should require a higher score than that.
Do you have any colleges in mind already and I can check for you? If not, perhaps I could suggest some for you?

Dear Expert,
I am from Bangladesh and have been refused UK Visa Tier-4 for 245ZV. So I need your Advice that can I put administrative review on it or not? The exact refusal notice is as follows:
ECO Comment:
In view of the fact that you have claimed 10 points for funds under Appendix C of the immigration Rules, but the bank statement and covering letter you have provided from Islami Bank are dated 29/12/2009.These are more than one month prior to your date of application of 31/01/2010 as required by the Tier 4 Plolicy Guidance and do not qualify for points. I am therefore not satisfied that you have achieved 10 points under paragraphs 10 to 13 of Appendix C and meet the requirements to be granted entry clearance under Tier 4 (General) Student. I therefore refuse your application under paragraph 245ZV(c) of the immigration Rules.
Can you tell me what my best action to take?
Should I go for AR or not!?
What are success ratio in this case?
Or I should go for re-applying?!
Can you let me know where the decision of administrative review is sent either on the postal address or in my email Or both?
Can I apply for AR with my new bank Statement?

Hi Mizan
I think an administrative review would be a waste of time as your documents were incorrect; the rules surrounding maintenance funds are very strict. The dates must be exact and many people make simple errors. I would always recommend submitting bank statements / pass books showing cash funds and a letter from your bank stating that you have immediate access to the funds. This also serves to confirm that your statements are true and genuine.
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.
Where a student is providing evidence of maintenance from a single account, the ECO will always assess the funds available to the student from the closing balance given on the document provided as evidence.
If it was me, I would follow the above UKBA guidance to the letter and make a fresh application.

Dear, dont go for administrative review, just simply tell your sponsor (College / Uni) to reissue you a new CAS and take fresh Bank letter and statement from urs Bank account , i am assuming that you are currently maintaining the same account, which would already completed 28 days period infact it would complete 2 months or further till now, go apply again with fresh statement and CAS and having statement of more than 28 days will benefit u alot , do this and inshallah get definate visa.

Respected Daniel,
Hope you well
Sir, UK High commission refused my tier 4 student visa. i have applied it in March 2010 and i got it 1 April 2010. I awarded 30 points but 10 points for maintenance i did not awarde why? High commission gives me reason that In CAS it is indicate that £1500 of £6500 have been paid and £5000 is pending tution fees.
But LSBF issue me CAS on 1 march 2010 and i paid £1500 in December 2009, and £5000 after issue a CAS on 4 March 2010, because LSBF metioned on CAS letter rest of the fees paid with in 30 days before start your course(MBA),
LSBF sent me original tution fees receipts on of for £1500 and £5000. According to me i have paid my full tution fees to college. and i have £11000 for living expenses in my Accout.
please Note it
when i submit my application in VFS. I have given both original tution fees receipts with my application. I had seen they attached a CAS letter and my original tution fees receipts (£1500 and £5000) with passport. Even in my bank statement it mentioned that on 4 march 2010 GBP 5000 is transfer.
I dont understand what should i have to do now.
1. According to me i have paid full fees £6500
2. I have proof for that which i showed to High commission original receipts
3. I have £11000 in my account for living expenses
I dont understand why they have not seen my original receipts. even it is mentioned on UKBA web site if candidate paid the tution fees after issue a CAS they have to show original receipts.
plz help me and tell me what should i do i dont want to spoil my career.
Plz reply me as soon as possible

Hi Jeet
The financial information entered on the Appendix 8 Form and in the CAS record must match exactly. It seems to me that following your second payment, the school did not update your CAS record to reflect this payment. Do you have a copy of the Appendix 8 Form and CAS statement you used to apply?
You should take up this issue with your school. You will have to make a fresh application and be sure that all your information is correct before you apply. This is one of the good things about applying through an agent, as a good agent will ensure all of these details are correct for you.

Hi Deniel Hope you well
thanks for reply me
Actully you asked for appendix 8 form. yes on it i mentioned that i have paid all the fees. That i clear tell you
in my visa application along with my CAS I had included two original fee receipts
one confirming payment of GBP 1500 (by back transfer draft) this payment is also mention on the CAS
Two confirming payment of remained fees of GBP 5000 on the 4th march which is after my CAS was issued this fees receipts also clearly mentiond that there was no outstanding balance to be paid.
on tier 4 policy guidance it is clearly mentioned that
Cost of the course fees:
Your visa letter from your approved education provider showing the cost of your fees
Money already paid:
your visa letter showing what you have already paid; or•
an official receipt confirming you have paid some or all of your fees; • or
so it is the rule of UKBA how they could refused me.
plz reply me as soon as possible

OK, but Jeet, the number entered on the CAS must match the number you entered on the Appendix 8 form.
As I said in my original reply, you should ask the school what amount they entered in your CAS record – don’t tell them why (of course) – but get the figure. If they failed to update your CAS record after your payment, you should get them to pay for a new application.

You’ve already indentified the problem!
I’m not saying that the CAS reference number is wrong, I am saying that the number you entered on your Appendix 8 Form for total tutition paid and the number entered into the CAS record do not match. This is why your application was refused.
A CAS record can be updated right until the application is decided by an ECO. The school should have updated your CAS record – if you knew that your CAS record did not show the full amount paid – and the Appendix 8 Form tells you to make sure the 2 figures match – why did you enter the incorrect figure?
Why don’t you just apply for a new visa? Where’s the problem?

is there anything i can do other than wait to hear from them?I m worried to death.

Hi Rose
I’m afraid you’ll just have to wait to hear from them. Did you include a covering note with your payment? Hopefully they received it before they processed your application.
In any case, it doesn’t really matter now your college’s sponsor licence is suspended; all applications will be on hold until the situation is resolved.
Where are you studying?

We lodged our visa with undeniably approvable requirements, but we don’t understand because we are still denied. Around 50 registered nurses coming from our agency applied and it is funny because 15 of them got 30pts and the rest 0 pt when in fact, we have the same school. Also, some were given 10pts for funds and some got 0 pt when in again, we followed the same requirement and this same fund was given 10pts when we lodged the first time.
If the embassy will just deny our visa for no credible reason, then what’s the point of VFS continue on receiving application? THEY ARE JUST AFTER OUR VISA FEE…. kakahiya ano?

ECO comment:
Your CAS states that your english language ability was
tested by your uk sponsor by internal written test.However,during interview with a visa officer,you could speak english very little english.i am satisfied ,on the balance of probabilities that false representation were made in your visa application,that reason i have rached this conclusion are contain in the english language interview report held on file,i am therefore satisfied,to a higher degree of probability ,that you fall to be refused under the general grounds for refused as stated in sub-paragraph(a) of paragraph 245Z of the immigration rules and refused your application under paragraph 320(7A) of HC395.
You should note that because this application for entry clearance has been refused under paragrap 320(7a) of the immigration rules.any future applications may also be refused under paragraph 320(7b) of the immigration rules (subject to the requirements set out in paragraph 320(7c)
A refused under paragraph 320(7b) of the immigration rules attracts an automactic refused period of up to 10 years.the period starts from date of the previous event which deception or submission of falsified document or information was employed.
what should i do now??it will be automatically refused under the the paragraph 320(7B), which means i am screwed for 10 years!!! Is it true?

Dear Daniel,
As i have seen there you are helping out each and everyone so i am here having lots of hope that you would help me ,,,,,,,,,,,, please its urgent…
################# URGENT ###################
I am here to resolve my query regarding show of maintenance funds, UKBA has mentioned that
“You must be able to prove that the money has been available in your account for 28 days
before the date when you apply”
so i am here defining a scenerio so kindly help me for this : if i need to show 10,000 Pounds so
i have opened my account as on 1st March 2010 and
on 1st March, i deposited almost 20,000 Pound
since i would not be able to use this statement for my visa purpose before 28th of March 2010 (28 Days period)
but my question is that if i am going to apply on 30th of March 2010 and on 20th of March 2010
i withdraw 8,000 Pounds (12,000 pound is still in my account balance which is more than my principal amount of 10,000 pound) so can i use my account statement till 30th March 2010 (28 days) for my visa application
or UKBA would refused me because i have withdrew 8,000 pound from my account in the 28 days period of bank statement.
Conclusion is that : Can i withdraw money from my account for admission fees purpose or any purpose and
the balance amount would remain more than my required principle amount so UKBA can refuse me on this situation or not.
Or this would be the moral of the story that however you are withdrawing but your balance should not be less than the principal amount……
Please help me Sir,,,,

Hello Daniel,
(Hasan Shah,Pakistan)
i applied for uk study visa on june 2009 under tier 4 policy.when my case was in process,my college (Cecos london College) was suspended and removed from sponser register.British Embassy kept my passport till 6 months and i sent them a legal notice so they returned my passport and refused my application under 245ZV(c).In response of legal notice,they told me that delay was due to college licence suspention and asked me to go with administrative review and i sent review on 12 march 2010.Now 7 weaks are elapsed and still no answer from embassy
So my questions are
1.Will administrative review will go in my favour? or it was just wait waste of time?
2.Sould i sue them in court coz i have lost 1 year of study and embassy dont have a satisfactory answer that why they kept passport for so much time (i have some embassy mails and some more evidence and i can prove easily).
3.I wrote in review that decission was agianst Human Right acts coz its not student’s fault if college get suspended,it will effect on my case?

From what I understand, as long as you maintain the minimum level of funds (i.e. don’t make any withdrawls that take the balance below the minimum, even if a future credit raises the balance).
