good morning to all you lovely brother and sisters on this forum, its a cool thing to have folks like you here, have been going over some pages here and first and fore most i would like to say you all are doing a a nuique job, this forum isb so informative and plenty resourceful,
well here is a bit of an issue for me , i am about applying for a student visa and have single handedly been gathering some information but sop ar i said i should also seek the guidiance and solicit the support of the great nairalander's

NB:

1. I have funds in my own name that would cover my first year fees and maintaince even with an excess of about a million but do i still need a sponsors letter from somebody when i have money in my own account?

2. i have an ''A'' LEVEL ENGLISH AND IELTS with great scores


3.and about accommodation , the school has no availability at the moment, is it ok if i book say two weeks for accommodation pending my arrival/ receiving my visa

4. have my one year school fees and now am waiting for my CAS letter and am most likely to apply anytime soon.

5. A more general issue is what and what do i need to present as supporting document to enable me obtain my study visa. can you pls list them for me ? i really would appreciate any form of information from the great and informative Nairalander's

anyone pls,

You did not state the country's embassy you are going to apply for her student visa.

First of all, it will be helpful if you state the country that you wish to study in, the course in mind and the duration.

   Are the origins of your fund traceable in your bank statement?
   Please, avoid money lodgement (ie depositing large untraceable sum into your account as this is an express ground for visa refusal). And however it is always an added advantage if you have a sponsor whose financial statement would stand as a guarantor because, visa officers do not like to believe that a potential student would be willing to spend most (if not all) of his fund to finance his first year fees and maintenance.

   Booking an accommodation? Are you talking about making a reservation or you meant booking in the sense of making a payment? Again, are you talking about lodging accommodation or a rented residence? Well, lodging accommodation does not look good, but a rented residence. And i do not encourage spending money on accommodation that you are not guaranteed of occupying, even the embassy does not recommend so.
   I however suggest that you contact a genuine letting agent to arrange a reservation in an appropriate area, and a formal reservation letter should be issued in this regard so you may present same with your application doccuments

I guess he is talking about UK, the prob he will face as u pointed out is to justify his source of income.
