Let her do an affidavit (Change of name) and news paper publication. You will need the news paper publication page.

Optionally, I think you can submit with the different names.


Thank you

Please i have another questions . Can my wife still use her passport even when it carries her fathers surname and not mine? do we need to do a change of name on any news paper or should we just submit like that with different surname even though we are married?

Please guys, visa was issued September 15 and BRP is not yet available at the post office. Has anyone experienced this? What can I do?

salawustyles:
Good day everyone

cbn4main:
Plenty of us.

Go ahead and ask your questions.

electromagnito:
It's quite frustrating with UKVI causing delays for everyone, including universities processing Certificates of Sponsorship (COS). My university applied for my COS on November 3rd, and so far, there's been no word from UKVI, according to our HR. I'm hoping that those who had their employers apply for COS in November have received a response, so I can feel more at ease. I just hope I won't regret turning down other research offers for the UK. Frustrating situation.

kino47:

Anything yet ?

electromagnito:
Nothing yet, yesterday makes it exactly 5 weeks since my HR filled for my CoS. I thought universities researchers have special status. Its quite disappointing. I'm supposed to resume in first week of February. After next week, universities will be closed for the winter break, so it means till January. I regret rejecting all my other research offers. Finger crossed anyways

Hello landers,

Please I'll like to get advice on this issue. During my brother's visa application, we made mistake and uploaded another person's ECCTIS document instead of my bro own. It's just an oversight because he has his own.

We got a refusal mail highlighting the error and when was given option of administrative review with his wife and son. They awarded him 60 points out of 70 because of that document.

We've applied for administrative review 5 daysago, their passport has been returned by DHL.

I want the experienced house to advise us on whether to apply for a new CoS or keep waiting for the outcome of the AR. From your experience, do you think he stands a chance of getting visa?

Thanks as I await your responses.

Hi all, I am helping a relative fill their dependent visa for skilled work, his wife came to Nigeria to get married to him after living in the UK for over a year.
A question on the form say "have you lived apart since the past 2 years" I answered Yes. This is because she was in the UK and he was in Nigeria. Now they want him to show proof that they were in a relationship while apart in addition to their marriage certificate. Could I have answered yes in that section?
Please people who recently fill this form what did you answer and what did you submit as proof?

Hello everyone, Skilled workers in the UK, please I have a plan, but I would like to know if it's a good one.

Can one go through the visitor's route to secure a job and then come back to Nigeria to apply for a work visa, since switching from a visit visa to a work visa in the UK is impossible?

I intend to visit the UK next year and while there, I will be applying for jobs hoping to get sponsorship, that way I can come back to Nigeria and the company can issue me a COS.


Thank you.

Uploaded another person's Ecctis document instead of his own!😳 I'm trying to figure out, like what was he doing with another person's Ecctis document in the first place?🤔

Well, it may be best to reapply as the fault wasn't UKVI's, although I feel they could've sent him an NSF email & requested his English proficiency proof. And that could've offered him a second chance for him to right his wrong.

The ECO was just overflexing her muscles ...pple that submit wrong English test which is technically the same case here are given 10days to submit the right one...

I feel U have a chance to win as the Sheffield Administrative review team are usual more kind provided u argued ur case under the option that the ECO should have given u more allowance to push in ur own document .....there is a reason why NSF was created

Still..I don't advise AR... because the wait time to get ur new decision from DMC after the refusal is overturned by Sheffield is usually tiring...but if u don't have money for another application .. Wait for ur AR....

Omalizumab:
Anyone here who had biometrics in the Portharcourt center on Wednesday (6th December)?

Had mine and application was transferred to DMC same day. But no email about DMC receiving it yesterday or today. Tracking still at Transferred to DMC.

Worried if the time lag is enough for me to be concerned. Considering DMC needs to receive it to even begin working towards a decision.

I understand DMC receives most applications the following day after biometrics.

chyzoo4u:


Thanks bro... but another application will require a new CoS as I learnt. Please, is that true?

Preeteeshir:
Hello, please can I send you an email?

Thanks bro... but another application will require a new CoS as I learnt. Please, is that true?

advanceDNA:


It depends......check the date ur COS was issued
If ur COS has expired before the refusal came out...i.e more than 3months from issued date......then u will need another cos.....

If ur COS is still valid....then u can fly another application immediately

dupyshoo:
This response is incorrect. If your visa application is refused, a new COS will be required.
