I have to say thanks to everybody, most especially, justwise. I went to pick up my passport today at the British High Commision, I was excited because I'm so sure of getting the visa but alas! I was denied! the ECO said I claimed 10 points for my CAS but my CAS is invalid as the passport number on my CAS statement is entirely different from the CAS statement i submitted, I checked all photocopies for error, but there is none. They gave no right of appeal but administrative review. While I was thinking of considering the administrative review, then a thought came to my mind that it might be the college that made the mistake. I really don't know why it happened to me, I'm so sad and confused right now, please what could be a cause of this, could it be a mistake by the school? or the ECO? Thanks.

@JustwiseThanks a bunch, I'm getting a new CAS statement from the school today, but, is there any risk associated with re-submitting?because the ECO said they have records of my application, If i go print another account statement and the date doesn't tally with the one they have with them (because they gave me back all documents except my account statement) won't that be a problem? again, when i was filling the application form, there's a part where they asked my parent's age, I don't know it and didn't bother asking, i just picked a random birth date, month and year, If I'm to re-submit, definitely I'll have to pick at random again, if it doesn't tally with the one they have with them? won't that also be a problem? At the last page of my passport, there's an ink stamp of "UK ABUJA" in square, what does it mean? does that mean that i must submit at Abuja? and at the front cover of the passport also, there's a paper barcode stamp, what does it mean? *Jeez i ask too much.* I hope to hear from you soonThanks a lot

@Xorcyst and justwise,
thanks again, do you think it's a better idea if i leave my parent's birthday out on the next application form I'm gonna fill? the school is King's college of management, Manchester, i think my CAS statement carried someone elses passport number when it was recorded on home office database, but it carried my data on the print out, I have called the school to the awareness of the mistake and they promised to correct it.

Hello all,

Im new here and I tried going back to read the begining of the thread for Visa requirements for family visa, but the list there was from 2008, can someone pls give me an updated list.

My sis is going with her family, hubby and kids, do they all have to fill out individual forms for the parents and kids, the kids are all under five. The husband is self employed (md of hisown outfit) what documents can he present?

They are going to visit family, does the spouse of the person inviting need to sign the sign the invitation letter? Is it of any benefit to use more than one invitation letter? What documents will need to be added to the invitation letter for uk? Would using a lawyer be of any help, a ladys says we should come and pay 50k which according to her is cheap.

I just got admitted into a college in Manchester, it's a college offering courses below degree level, is it a kind of "A level" thing? sorry for my question, i'm not familiar with the education system of the UK, please i want to know if i can proceed to university in UK with the school certificate upon completion of my college course?
Thanks

Chaoga:

@justwise, i had it on my CAS like this:

"Academic level - NQF 04 leading to NQF 06"
"Course title - CMI Level 4, leading to CMI Level 6Qualifications in Management and Leadership"

@former, King's college of management is registered, Name as; Universal Education Services Ltd T/A King's College of Management.

Chaoga:

@justwise, I just checked the link, and yes, it's there, search for Universal education services ltd and you will see the school name in front. they've got A rating (trusted) and is my course diploma or high diploma?
thanks
