How did they go about to become British citizens ..were they born there ? If they were then it's not a problem . But I THINK if they went through study route or the highly skilled
migration program they were doing years ago your friend may have a point .
I recall someone in the US was denied because his brother went as a student and didn't come back but a citizen now and the VO denied him and said he won't come back as well and mentioned that was how his brother left too .

That being said you may need to ensure you provide other ties apart from family that may help in convincing them that you will come back .

Good day family.

Please l purchased my flight ticket in Cotonou through a friend, Cotonou to Heathrow but this friend who is suppose to assist me to cross the border and onboarding will be unavoidably unavailable due to official assignment to Ghana on the day i ought to check in and board my flight.

Please, i would appreciate advise and guidance on the easiest or safer route by road as i heard the chances of a stranger being robbed at the border is high.

Hello

If you don’t receive a refusal mail in 24hrs then it most likely means so

Look out for a collection mail, trackers can be delayed in getting updated

Cheers

It doesn't matter its better you declare them especially your mother you can leave your brother out if you want since he is not your child. I have mum and 4 siblings in the uk I declared only my mum as it's also on my birth certificate

My wife flew their airline 2 days ago and arrived UK yesterday safely, no issues. Go ahead.

When do you intend to travel? I can help you get a fair deal on the ticket price.

Baggylee:
Good morning all,

I submitted my application yesterday. I was able to pick a date for next week and opted for self upload.
Pls i want to ask if its mandatory to upload the documents a day to the biometric day or any day after submission of application and choosing of appointment date.
Upload and submit your documents before Biometric even if is a 1min to bio.
I advise to submit before going for bio Sha you can never trust network God no go shame us

Thanks NLs

I just got married to my fiancée last month ago,though we have been dating since last year august before she applied for her NHS Job in the UK. Towards the beginning of this year,she applied and after several interviews a particular trust sent her a sponsorship. I want to go with her to start a family there and we have submitted all necessary documents and awaiting there response.

What I failed to understand is

Can I be granted a visa because we have not been married for 2 years??

@Duchess90, Justwise and all the beautiful people here, I greet you all o.

Abeg this one is looking like a different dimension of the UKVI process.

I am the MA and I applied with my whole family, wife, 2 kids with my wife and one kid I had out of wedlock in 2008. Note his mother died yrs ago and prior to that time I have taken sole responsibility of him living under my roof. I paid for all his bills, he just finished Secondary school and sat for last Waec. His waec results are excellent. I got affidavits from him mum's father stating he has been living with me and they know about my intention of taking him along with other of my kids. Cause his mom's death certificate was issued from general hospital here in lagos.
In short I made sure I obtained everything needed for a child under single parent. Note my current wife takes care of all of my kids and pays all the bills through my naira account. I gave her my gtbank app and password with ATM too.

Now I am currently married with 2 more boys aged 1yr 5months, 3yrs and the one I had out of wedlock is 15yrs.

We did biometric on 10th July 2023, on the 18th my passport was ready as the MA.

The rest are still on DMC till this moment I am typing. So I got an email requesting that my wife come for student interview on the 14th being Monday.

My wife is a dependent, what could be the case and what should she be expecting to answer?

I have posted screenshot extracted from the email.
Also I am requested to respond to the email immediately.

Note: during visa application, I didn't know family pictures are needed, I failed to upload it, newspaper change of name I didn't upload too. I have all these here now with me. Should I attach it in the email as I am about to respond to the email for interview?
Receipt of rents paid together is here too. Our Facebook pictures posted since dating time till marriage and now are all there with time stamp.

Please how best should I respond to the email as I want to use this avenue to give them all the information I didn't upload since. Pictures taken in the hospital during birth are also online and chats we had since I was not in Nigeria for upto 2yrs.

I came in last June to apply with them.

Any contribution would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you all.

Hello

You don't need to provide any additional information

You only need to download Microsoft teams and confirm interview dates


Questions will be asked around her relationship with MA as a dependant


Either that or this was sent in error, in the email confirming interview dates,she should clarify that she is the dependant not the student and that you already have your visa.

You see the damage people have caused in scam relationships and advertising for dependants

You should be fine, please keep us updated


Cheers

I’m in a similar situation, my wife did hers at TLS VI since July 31st. I’m thinking of doing a paid call already.

@duchess90

I have some questions on study gap & supporting documents, please pardon my inexperience with the visa stuff, I joined the threads late.

Finished NYSC 2021 and did a 1 yr internship until Jan 2023, after which I started the Msc applications

Do I need to submit a reference letter from the office I worked in during NYSC (still had some adhoc engagements with them even until last month)

Lastly, a professional license is only gotten after a typical internship, do I still need to get a reference from the hospital I interned to explain the study gap between 2022 till this year (my school didn't ask for this though)

Or can just the certificates for both (nysc & internship) support my claims

@duchess90

Otuegbe:
Good morning,

We are worried

I have no idea!

I submitted my application on 17 May, 2023 and did my Biometrics on 19 May, 2023. I submitted my TB certificate, Data Analytics course training certificate from a course I did for 3 months from September to December of 2022, a copy of my Degree certificate, my IELTS score report, my Husband's pay slip showing he can support my family in Nigeria and I while I study ( Senior Pipeline Engineer at Shell Nigeria) and 2 letters (an Introduction letter and a letter correcting the mistake I spoke about earlier).

I had no idea I was supposed to submit documentation explaining my study gap so I was surprised when I got an email on 22 May, 2023 asking me to send documentation regarding that. I haven't worked in a traditional setting since I graduated from University in 2012 except for volunteering at my Mum's company from 2017 to 2020 and running my own business from 2020 to 2022. As a result, I submitted my NYSC certificate, and my CAC documents and business bank statements as evidence to support my study gap, along with certificates of courses I took for a year prior to September 2022 on modules in my Master's degree, my CV and github portfolio showing projects on Machine learning and Data Analytics with Python as well as certificates of Python programming and technical assessments test report sheets. ( they were 22 certificates in total).
I submitted these on 25 May and got called for an Interview on 2 June. At my Interview, I was asked 3 questions only.
1. Why did you choose to study in the Uk?
2. Why did you choose this course?
3. What are your modules?



To be honest, I am emotionally exhausted and even more so mentally exhausted. I really wish they could just give me a decision already. I put a lot of effort into preparing academically for my degree, it has to work out...

"Sorry for the long write up"

Thewritingnerd:
And you got your visa?

Datakey:
Good evening house..

I got a Turkish airline with 2 stops at Istanbul and Duesseldorf. Pls will I be needing a transit Visa?

Datakey:


Thank you boss.. Please how do I apply for the transit Visa?

abuhusna1:

Yes for sure. Having a parent in the uk can never count against you

afrolegend:
Extra cost and tine you gonna spend.

Summing up more cost of booking a direct ticket

Datakey:



Have already made a mistake by booking the flight...

No other option than to go for the transit Visa.. Abeg how do I go about that
