I use my company letterhead as reference for uk student visa application. UKVI now send mail to them but they are refusing to reply the mail saying I didn't follow due process by informing the headquarter office before using the company letterhead for such things. Which I did not know because it was the branch office I use the letterhead from and I was thinking that they ukvi will contact the branch office bcoz the official email of the branch is on the letterhead. I have plead with the headquarter office but they are adamant that they will not reply the mail even to the extent that they want to sanction me. Please what can I do in this situation? I have spend a lot to get to this stage

rjkings:


Well, I don’t think it’s necessary. Because I applied for US visa in 2016 and I was denied. I didn’t mention it on my UK visa application and I was granted a visa last month

Demrich:
on which platform/site did you buy the cheap ticket? Please.

CHRISWUZZY:
Gud evening, congratulations to those who got there visa recently is really a thing of joy 😌.

Any one who has made paid calls for NSF 🤷. that Escalation stuff nah that one worst pass , that's why I haven't called them .
Let's keep hoping though 😫.

Isreach:


Thanks a lot for sharing your experience.

kdf3449:


We are many in this NSF category that are waiting for a decision. May I ask why you think the paid call for NSF for escalation worsen things ? What’s your experience? Has your 15 working days after escalation elapsed? Please share with us

Cos when I made the paid call, they were the ones that said they’re going to escalate these applications. I and my wife (MA ) has gotten ours since July 21 and 28, we did biometrics July 6th in Abuja

@advanceDna any take on this matter ? I know say I don worry you well well lol

okeysoninv:
I'm still waiting for your link ooo. Haven't you find it.

Mofolam:

You better leave someone else’s experience and face your own. You must declare all visa denials, approvals or ban. I don’t understand your reason to hopefully conceal it. Your visa will be approved even if u have a ban in another country as long as u are being truthful.

Abeg o, someone should clear me. My friend and his wife are novices on this japa stuff. Wifey is MA, so they person helping them process the Student Visa asked them for 2m for application fee only for the wife. Then when hubby wants to apply for his own. They will pay another 2m. I asked him to hold on let me verify. Plsssssss someone say something

Isreach:


I was thinking it may have a negative effect on current application. Thanks for clarifying.

Tell them to avoid the person like a plague.He is a thief. No agent can have your best interest more than you yourself. Give them the UK student link on nairaland. People will help them for free.... meanwhile he is also a liar because starting from January 2024 Students are not allowed to bring their dependents in. September is too close to start school application now....if wifey gets in before January, dependent visa is straightforward and certain as long as funds are available and relationship is genuine so what is the additional 2m for ?

advanceDNA:


Student Visa application is just 363£ + health insurancs of 624£ ....do the maths naa....
even if 1£ is 1200naira .. thats just around 1.2M for one person...
and he's asking u to pay 2 million per person.... for what naaaa?? Just to fill visa application form...he wants to collect 800k....

Oga fill ur form urself.... e nor hard...


Thanks Bro

Benteazaa:





Thanks for ur answer.
MA Admission is out, school to resume by November. Thou they are planning to move to Scotland. Hubby plans to join by December. So if I get what you are saying they can't pay for the visa application fee two times. Even thou hubby is not applying with her. The person doing de stuff for them happens to be wifey sister.

Dandicker:
Good evening house, Please house I need your assistance @ duchess90 and Advance DNA.. I applied for temporary work visa - creative as (TRADITIONAL GUITARISTS), have gone for biometrics since 31/07/2023. I just got a message from UKVI to come for interview on the 23 of August 2023. Please what are the questions should I expect them to ask. As I have my certificate of sponsorship (cos) with me. Please help me out thanks ...please help me

Mofolam:


If she has admission already. Tell her to ask the agent for the admission letter( she should say she wants to certify the admission is real) then she applies herself. It’s very easy. As for the husband; all he needs is TB test and police report to submit his application. Since it’s wifey’s sister that is running the package maybe you should leave them to their family problem make dem no use use settle family feud. If they are concerned they should come here themselves. You cannot be crying more than the bereaved.

Dandicker:
please help out, what are the questions to be expected the eco to ask?.. advanceDNA and duchess90 come to my rescue please
