Good Evening Everyone,

I need your advise and I will appreciate every contribution.

I got married last year and changed my name , however my international passport is with my maiden name, I have applied for new passport but I am yet to another one, immigration claims there is no passport.

I just got admission and I would like to apply for my student visa with my dependent, can I still use my passport with my maiden name? I don’t know if I can attach all supporting documents and apply.

2) I am also in between choosing a university in Bradford and Hull..same course which is more preferable to live as a family.

Thank you so much

If your stop over is 8 to 12 hours the airline has an obligation of providing you with hotel accommodations and food unless it’s stated otherwise on your travelling ticket. So I suggest you check the terms of your ticket.

send an email to them to confirm first. If u are entitled to free hotel because of ur flight ticket. These two conditions must be met to qualify for hotel.
They only offer hotel if you hve a long transit time + they hve no other options of flight going to your direction that wud have had shorter time interval.
If they confirm u will get hotel accommodation, then yu wud need to pay for Turkish e-visa
Simply go online and apply. Less than 20k and u wud get it immediately u pay. Pls use the correct website
Do this only if they tell u, that u are entitled to hotel.
Otherwise if not, when u land, locate turkish airline help desk and ask for any meal tickets if u are entitled as well.

On that note I think you should be eligible for free hotel accommodations, benefit of Turkish Airlines. You should proceed to the Hotel Desk of Turkish Airlines which is located past immigration and customs control but the obligation to enter the country is on you ( passport, visas etc)

You are required to show you have an English language ability of at least level B1 on
the Common European Framework of Reference for languages in all four
components.
The English Language test result you provided shows you have not met the required
level of B1 in two of the four components of the test (reading and writing). You must
obtain level B1 in all four components (reading, writing, speaking and listening).

my issue is B1 only entails speaking and listening.

Hello house, is it important I show strong home ties on my VISA when applying for a Tier 2 VISA?

What if I was jobless for a while prior to getting the said job, how does this factor in the application?

tier 2 and home ties? Not needed. Focus on getting COS from a rated sponsor, tb test result, ihs fees if applicable, living expenses in account for self +/- dependents for the required days(check www.gov.uk for the guidelines) and english test if required.

Hello house. I booked a biometrics appointment with assisted service for next week. However, i am unable to 'proceed to checkout' after making payment. I got a mail from TLS confirming my payment and the booking date is included in the mail. Please how do I proceed to checkout? Is the printout of this mail the only thing i need?

Good morning guys,

Hope we all are doing well?

Am currently about to submit my wife's dependent visa application as am on a Tier 2 visa and I need your take on what we have done so far to proof financial/maintenance requirement:

1. I Work for an 'A' sponsor company, so submitting my three months payslip since am paid above £30k per annum

2. Submitting my and her three month bank statement

3. Saved up at least £1k in my account and £1k equivalent in her account in Nigeria for 28 days which will reflect in the bank statement.

4. Also submitting my COS even though it doesn't reflect her maintenance on it, just cover basis.

Please guys your advice and suggestions will go a long way, just want to be sure am on the right track to avoid stories that touch. Thanks smiley

I will arrive in Nigeria the next day in the evening. Its a long wait in istanbul pls are they going to give us food during that long stop over and it's also the period of ramadan will they give us food o make I know how I go pack snacks for bag o I beg o.

Food is the last thing to worry about when you are traveling because you can buy this at airport during your layover.

As per getting free hotel/meal voucher from Turkish airlines: This depends on the type of ticket you are holding. For economy class - the layover must be at least 12 hours.

Check with the airline to get first hand information about this.

Good evening Nairalanders, please I need some clarifications concerning my husband visa application. We got married after I applied for my student visa as a single which was Dec. 30th and I got my visa Jan 11. Now the agent told us we have to wait till our marriage is 6 months which will be around June before my husband could apply for dependent visa. Please, I want to know if that is true. I await your responses please
