For your kind attention : STUDENT FRIENDS

<> GIC has become mandatory (Education Loan option is not available for SPP applicants). This is effective immediately ( Read it as May 2103 intake )

<> First Year fee payment is not mandatory. Now SPP checklist asks for "Copy of
receipts for tuition payment provided by the SPP institution". This could even be first semester fee receipt. (Till now colleges LOA asked for first year fee payment, they are now changing this immediately to ask only for first semester fee. Students who already have offers asking for first year fee can ask for an updated offer letter from the college they applied to)

Please note that the Visa Officers will compare the fee receipt to the fee asked for in the LOA, so if a student pays the first semester fee but in the LOA first year fee is asked for – that will create a problem. So please ensure that you request for updated
LOA for students who wants to pay first semester fee.

<> IELTS though it is mentioned in the new SPP checklist as overall 6.0 bands and no mention about sub scores. Student need to have 6.0 bands with no band less than 5.5 bands in each.

Thanks,
Vivek

Thanks Vivek.....

One more thing, do we require to show any other funds apart from GIC and tution fees??

 

[vivekforbes]

Thanks vivek. I am about to post this update.

I beleive one year fees payment will make more favour of approving visa than one semester fees. What do you guys think?

I dont think we need to show any further fund details than GIC. Atleast thats what my consultancy people told me.

I already have offer letter and i am planning to pay one semester fee. Do i need to get the updated offer letter because consultancy people told me that there wont any problem if i pay one semester fee with existing offer letter.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks guys for the information ,

One of my known too have a offer letter and they are asking to pay one semester fees only . He's going to pay it now in the next week probably .

But i want to know if someone has one year diploma course and paying 1st semester fees in the starting for may intake . Then how much time will he get to pay the next semester fees ? Will he get 3-4 months in between to pay the 2nd one or not ?

[nitin089]

do v need to pay 1st year or 1sem fees by cash or edu loan??

 

[sani014]

so do we need to pay 1st year fees as well as GIC?
why is education loan not an option?
Can someone please clarify because I am taking an education loan.

For tution fees you can get education loan to pay the tutition fees. But GIC is for your living expenses and most banks do not provide loan for living expenses. I beleive thats why they removed the loan option for GIC.
