Student Visa

[r_v]

I'm a Fillipina living in the Philippines. I have a degree with high pass marks in BSH (Home Economics). I am co owner of a private school with my mother with 140 attendants rate. I wish to apply for a student visa in the UK. I also have good bank records, 6,000 dollars in one account and several thousand pesos passing through the school account, also in my name, monthly. Could you please advice me on my next move and the likelihood of a student visa being granted.

hi rv! first you have to look for school that you wish to study, that school should be registered @ http://www.dfes.gov.uk/providersregister/

go to the website of the school.. for example www.city-lbc.com and apply there..
you can apply online, or download an application and mail it to the school..

the school will send you a letter of acceptance and once you received it, you have to pay the tuition fee with the back account number written on the LOA.

after you made the payment you will again receive a letter from the school which is the certificate of acceptance and the letter to the consul.

then gather all the necessary documents for your visa application.

these include your certificate of enrolment, the letter to the consul, bank certificate of your sponsor with more than 1M savings, and all the necessary documents supporting your application.

What do you mean by this, specifically?
Please elaborate. Thank you!

first, find a course/school then enrol, your school will give you this certificate which you will use as evidence that you have been accepted in a UK college/university.

the letter of sponsorship and bank certificates from your sponsor. this is very important because you need to show proof that you can afford to stay in UK.

Yes, I understand this part.

So, let's say that I have been successful in my enrolment, paid my deposit /required fees to the University. All that being cleared and OK. So, if I then make an application for my Visa, what level or amount of money should be made available by, either me direct or a sponsor to show in order that the Visa Part is successful. Because without both parts being successful, seems a waste of money paying the university fee (which would not be refunded). So really need assurances on the Visa side, before proceeding.

Can you be more specific instead of generalizing?

Thank you!

a student visa has a rejection rate of at least 40% from manila.

you would have to pay international fees,


for manchester uni, one of the best :D

fees

and then you need the money to live in the uk, not cheap here..

http://www.manchester.ac.uk/international/money/costoflivingintheuk/

the cost btw £7000-£9000 for a year + your fees of around

looking at the costs , you can see why most fail..

also your only allowed to work up to 20 hours a week term time, any if you work more and your caught, you can be banned from coming back to the uk for a number of years.

good luck thou :xxgrinning--00xx3:
