As far as you’ve applied, the expiry of your visa/BRP should not worry you. Normally the dependent can apply anytime, but in your case, you may need to apply at the same time:

A = sponsor
B = dependent

If A wants to become dependent on B, B must become sponsor first.

A cannot depend on a “dependent”. That is, A cannot be sponsored by someone that’s currently being sponsored.

Sent you a message

Two scholars have said what I would have said. You can now switch visas easily while in-country so have fun. I just dey pity your pocket but family comes first.

Bourne007:
@bolded .. every (wo)man's circumstances are different

Just to be clear, No one needs to go through the same process as long as their is an official guideline for you to follow. These new visas only came into effect just recently and it will be difficult to actually find someone.

The new rules clearly say a Tier 4 dependant can now apply in-country so I am not sure why you are looking for someone who doesn't exist. Did you manage to get admission and gotten CAS?

You can definitely switch your visa alone and be on a Tier 4. Your partner who's out of the country can immediately apply to be depandant when you get your visa. If your partner happens to get BRP and back in the country, he can again switch immediately.

Merry Christmas my people. Has anybody switched from a dependent visa to a student visa? I’d like to confirm the requirements. On the .gov site, it says if you’ve been here for up to 12 months, the proof of maintenance won’t be required. Has anybody gone through this route and can you confirm the process and requirements? Thank you.

Bourne007:
Ah okay .. I no read reach that level so wasn't too sure what she meant.

Some Universities still have offer available for January 2021 and as long as partner gets admission, it's so feasible. And as you know, once documents are sent to UKVI, leave to remain is extended.

Bourne007:
How you mean "extension to PhD"? I thought PhD visas get atleast 3 years.

If you really want to stay, hope you are aware you 'as a dependant' can switch in-country to Tier 4 while partner is dependant

Or you mean your refusal to learn a new skill........

Aphrodite007:
Wow this is hard o. But you’re doing the right thing.

But why is your school sorting out your visa? It’s meant to be done by UKVI. All your uni has to do is give you CAS right, Then you apply for visa? Right?

If I’m right, get the cas and apply for your visa then you won’t need to go home. It’s just a letter, Covid shouldn’t stop them from typing a letter. Also speak to your international office or SU; they may have similar cases.

. I don’t know sha. Sorry o.

LagosismyHome:
I did read although a while now so my info is rusty..on how home office is accepting in country application due to covid. Check .gov website

Bourne007:
Say you send 3 years on tier 4 and 2 years post study, though you have spent 5 years but doesn't lead to settlement.

If you however switch to various visas completing 10 years (long residence) then tier 4/post study visas can be used cos you have stayed legally

Bourne007:
These are basically path to settlement called ILR.

5 year is usually when you are on Tier 1, 2 (with dependants), Spousal
10 year route leads to settlement as long as you have legally stayed in the UK. During this process, you can be on any visa (switch/extend) as long as it's legal.

Tier 4 and Post study does not count to settlement but can be used alongside the 10 year route.

Hello everyone. Please which will you recommend for sending Naira to to Naija account? I mean sending pounds to receive naira.

Good morning everyone.

Trust all is keeping safe.

Still about passport renewal at the Nigerian High Commission London. I applied for passport renewal on the 24th of August. On one hand, information on the website says backlog of applications fron March to August will be dealt with. While on the other hand, renewal will be strictly on appointment.

Since my application (and payment), I have not gotten any appointment date via text or email as promised on the website and I am thinking on going to London next week since covid cases have started to increase and want to avoid any possible lockdown situation.

Please, I want to know if anyone is in the same predicament or have recently collected a new passport.

Kind Regards.

segun688:
Please has any one who applied for nigerian passport in London heard anything about biometrics etc? I find it baffling that they just took money and went silent, no communication, no nothing. Did anyone else get any message ( for those who applied from july onwards)??

On your credit score, you check how long you've been on the electoral list.

LagosismyHome:
Quite simple.... however what kind of visa are you on. For example it is not allowed for tier 4 student visa
