Thanks Adam,
Everything is still shapeless to me, I'm trying. To cope. Resuming late (last day of enrolment) has made it a lot harder. No accommodation yet, immediately after registration today I was taken to the classroom. Lectures 12-5pm. The lecturer told I was there but I was in a ghost mode...lol.. Cranfield University, it is. Where are you at?

danny4sure: Please Nairalanders, we need ur help. My cousin is starting her course by jan in the uk and she is already pregnant.
Will the pregnancy affect her visa or studies?
Or is it best for her to defer her admission? Can she cope in the uk with pregnancy as a postgraduate student?
She has paid her full tuition fee and she's got more than enough for her living expenses. She is uber worried, she really wants to start january. Pls advice
Pls advice your cousin to defer till after the baby comes. Postgrad studies in the uk is stressful on its own, now add pregnancy to it, its not advisable at all. I got pregnant in the middle of my program, my saving grace was that I was already done with lectures at that time. In spite of that I still saw hell in completing my remaining courseworks and dissertation. Truth is I was unable to put in my best because I was always sick. My advise would be to defer.

royalsweetness: I bear the same surname as my uncle, and he is my sponsor for my UK student visa. Can I just state him as my father instead of going through the stress of proving he's my legal guardian. Please I need a reply before tomorrow. Thank you
Your father's name is on your Birth certificate, mind you...

Btw, would they take baptismal certificates or affidavits. Thanks for replying
Re: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered Part2 by presiade(m): 5:26pm On Oct 15, 2013
That's for you to decide if you want him to be your father, but it going to be serious when and if UKBA discovers even it's 10 years from now...
I think they accept only birth certificate

Ok, all I can read beneath your lines are 'don't do anything illegal'. So what's my legal option, how do I prove my uncle is my legal guardian. Thanks.
Ask him to transfer the fund into your personal account

Just open a bank account in your name if you don't have one and ask him to transfer the money there, its a lot better with less documentation than the option of proving someone is your legal guardian.
Besides if the money is yours is there any need keeping it in his account ?Not unless you re under 18 years.

Hi guys, Jen1 reporting live from Birmingham. Arrived school by 9.40 Monday morning completed my registration. Was so cold, even with the cardigan I had on. Had to get to the city center for warm clothes and shoes. Just trying to get adjusted to this method of studying. Thank you guys for all the help and encouragement.

Yes you can; but, it's advisable that you apply in time (early) to avoid disappointment and undue stress that come during rush hours.

Hey Jen1! Look at you! I have reported here on NL since Monday morning cheesy. Registration took me like 30mins thereabouts, then straight to the lecture room. How are you finding the new system? I bet you don't even wanna compare it with what we are used to eh? Take care.

What were you told when you called the BHC?
Your application was made on a rather tight time line knowing it takes minimum of 15 working days [could be less or more]
Personally, my application took 18-19 days to get back my passport though visa had been issued around 10 days
Typically, most schools give 2 weeks extension.........what were you told when you requested for 3 weeks? undecided undecided

I only had the a partial experience at Law school in Nig. Registration didn't take much time either, just that I had to wait for close to 1hr cos there were people also registering the same day.

Think you should renew your passport. Yes, the passport number is written on the CAS. You wouldn't need your birth certificate if you are using a personal account, so it wouldn't be a problem smiley

To support what JideVince told you; 1)The Passport renewal thing is entirely up to you. They CAN give you visa that will last beyond the validity of your visa (People have had that in the past) so you'll renew the passport it in the UK before it expires. The FG doesn't renew passports that still have over 1 month before expiry unless they cancel your current passport and issue a new one, I would have advised renewal. But it all depends on the time you have in your hands.
2) As for the middle name issue, are you using your parent(s) bank account details? If yes, that's when you need to submit Birth Certificate. If no, then don't bother submitting it. If you have a need to submit it, then you need to prove to the UKBA that it is an error and let them know which is correct (which should be the one on your passport anyway). If I were you, I'll just have the money in my account and avoid telling the UKBA stories about the name on your Birth Certificate.

You all have been a good source of help and giving loads of folks great platform to share their views and experiences. One major question that I haven't seen asked or answered is the age of an applicant or prolly I didnt come across is; is there any maximum age limit an applicant may attain that could cause a visa denial especially for bachelors program. Please do advise from past experiences and applications.
