Zeedivine:


Yes sir

Lexusgs430:



So the council tenancy is in your name + parents name?...

TashaStPatrik:
good morning everyone. Please i need advice from gurus here. I have gained admission to study in the UK for Post graduate and am hoping to go with my kids. i have 2 of them (1yr 10months and a 6months old currently). I need to apply for a dependant visa for them but i dont know how much is required to be in the bank account for each of them. My fees is 14k pounds and it is privately sponsored. I will like to know how much in total i will need to have as sufficient funds to submit for visa approval. My husband is a business man and his account is always busy. Can we also indicate our properties in the application, just incase we dont have much funds in the account right now?
PS: Hubby is not planning to go with us.
please help me!

profemebee:

Also.. the UK Naric is a statement not certificate.. i got 2 (Academic qualification level & English language proficiency) for each of my uni and masters degree..

is that cool pls?

Zeedivine:


I’m authorised occupant

Lexusgs430:


I don't understand what this means........ So your parents are not authorised?.....

Zeedivine:


There are

Lexusgs430:



You are either confusing me deliberately or I am not understanding your answers...........

Let me break it down.........

This council property in question, your parents applied for it, but your name was included on the application form?.......

Is this council property bought or still under council tenancy?.....


If it's still under council tenancy, you would need to get a letter from your council (not all council grants this request). But make an official request and include with application + submit tenancy agreement..........

If council property is bought, your parents can give you a letter. But submit rent entitlement details........

Zeedivine:

Evening, let me make it clear
I live with my parents and they rent it the property from the council. My name is also included in the tenancy agreement as well. Hope this is clearer now thank you

Lexusgs430:


Now much clearer........ You would be required to submit tenancy agreement + letter from housing officer + consent letter from your parents......

Did you say it's a 3 bedroom flat? Currently occupied, by parents, your brother & you?....

Zeedivine:


Yes that’s correct and thank you the for advice

Ysakaws1:
Please how true is this: I was told one cannot marry in the UK when your UK visa has expired. Which means no illegal immigrant in the UK can later get married to a UK citizen in UK or what??

Hi fridpalor,

I remember you had ur biometrics on the 15th of May, 2019.. i had mine on the 20th of May, 2019.,, i guess you will be my destiny tracker for this settlement visa..

I sent my docs to Sheffield on the 30th of May, 2019 and it got signed and received at Sheffied via Royal Mail on the 31st of May, 2019.

The only mail i have gotten after sending in docs was on the 6th of June, 2019 which stated something like this:

Dear House, Lexusgs430, justwise and other great people here, thanks so much for this enlightening thread without which many of us would have been utterly confused and lost in this application process.

I have been a follower for some time now and have read extensively most of the post from 2015 till date. I am about to put in my application for the spouse visa but I still have one aspect of confusion in terms of meeting the accommodation requirement.

My wife currently stays with her mum in a 3 bedroom house plus a living room and no other person stays with them. Her mother got the house on mortgage and will be sending me the property deed and a letter of consent stating she will allow us stay in the house. My wife currently pays no rent and her mother has graciously accepted that we stay in the house for 2 years after I arrive. In fact her mother is moving out of the house next week as she got a job somewhere else in UK that provides her accommodation which means that by the time I arrive it will be just my wife and I that occupy the house. Her mother intends to state in the letter of consent that:

1. She stays with her daughter in the house and does not require a rent from her daughter
2. She will avail her daughter and I the house for a period of two years and will collect no rent whatsoever.

Is this acceptable?

My confusion stems from the fact that I saw a place where Lexusgs430 stated that the applicant should provide "Rent entitlement details" from the parent of an applicant who rents a council flat.

First off- what is Rent entitlement details?
Second off- Does this mean my spouse is obligated to pay her mum rent before we can meet the accommodation requirement?

NB: A property inspection report will be provided as hammered on severally by Lexusgs430.

Lexusgs430, my queries are mainly directed to you and will be grateful for your response. However, anyone who has been in my shoes or who has experience in this area of my confusion should kindly contribute so that I don't make a costly mistake.

Counting on your responses Family.

Thanks.

Hi Profemebee,

Apologies for the delayed response.

Have you gotten this mail?
Yes, I got exactly the same email you received.

Have you gotten any acknowledgement on ur docs sent to Sheffield?
No, I haven't received any acknowledgement from Sheffield

What date did u send ur docs to Sheffield?
May 20, 2019


Presently just positively waiting

Lexusgs430:


In this case, a property inspection report is not required.

A letter of consent from her mother + mortgage deed, in this case should be adequate. But would be helpful if mother provides extra details of external accommodation (reason for this is, the UK would not want her tossing you guys out).....

Rent details or entitlement, simply shows commitment and stability (accommodation - wise).......

NB: I am not saying this is possible, but if she swaps jobs and does not like it and wants to return to her property, would your presence not become an inconvenience?.... This is the way this applications are evaluated.........

Flexvilla:



Thanks so much Lexusgs430 baba. God bless you. I will keep the house updated of my progress.

Lexusgs430:


Yes, you send documents to your sponsor, for onward submission.....

SUBMITTING DOCUMENTS

Hello someone please help me clarify about Spouse visa documents if you have been though the process or know the process

1. When the partner in Nigeria visits the centre for appointment should they take original or copies of supporting documents ?
2. Can supporting documents be submitted online instead of at the centre ?
3. Who should post the original documents to Sheffield will it be sent in UK by the partner in UK OR sent in Nigeria by the partner in Nigeria or sent by the centre in Nigeria

Thanks for your assistance

Lexusgs430:


1 - Supporting documents gets posted to Sheffield (all you require in lagos is your passport, copy of sponsors biodata pp page and proof of payment)

2 - You cannot submit documents online

3 - Does not matter who sends it, applicant or sponsor...... So long as it reaches Sheffield.........

Univas01:
One thing you have to understand is that you will need to make notice of marriage at the council prior to wedding date and at that point, your legal status document would be required.

So you can’t obviously register if council did not see your paperwork. BTW, you should make it clear if you’re getting married to UK or European citizen.

Ysakaws1:

This is the same thing I was told, but I argued with the person. I actually argued because I used to know someone who got a UK 6months visiting visa, travelled to UK, and never came back to Nigeria. He overstayed in UK, but eventually got married to a UK citizen. That was the way he did it to stay legally in the UK. So my question is how do some illegal immigrants in the UK end up becoming citizens?

Lexusgs430:


One thing you forgot to mention is, what year did this incident happen?...?

Folashine:
Good morning house,
When filling online tuberculosis test form and the test which I wanted to do is meant for UK spouse visa. I made mistake where they wrote “type of visa”, I mistakenly selected students without scholarship, instead of settlement and dependent. Pls, can anyone tell me how I can make the correction?

Univas01:
Very good question (thumps up)

One more thing, there are different routes for an overstayer to becoming a UK citizen, not necessarily by marriage.

Lexusgs430:


Just ensure you tick all you i's & cross your t's........ Not forgetting the ' 28 day rule'.........
