A bit confused here

1. Does it mean that because you did not resit the module you can't get a full degree?

2. What's the essence of submitting the dissertation again if the above applies?

I know I sound daft but the time spent on getting the dissertation is best spent hustling for CoS.

Sad really what this Form A is causing people but again (not suggesting you did oo) but many people work and earn in pounds here and send the money back to Naira at black market rate and use the proceed to purchase pounds through Form A... Instead of paying off their fees using the pounds they earned 🤷🏿‍♀️

Well I guess by so doing they are able to pay off their full fees using Form A than it would've been paying with what they earn but it also exposes them to the delays of Form A. YouKay schools are not smiling again o 😢


Maureen4sure:
My dear fellow Nairalander,

Greetings to everyone.

My name is Maureen.

This is my story; please, I need every little advice and suggestion.

I've been in the UK since January of last year on a student visa.

To get straight to the point, I failed one of my modules and also failed to resit, all not due to my fault.

My school app was locked due to a school fee delay from Form A; it took over 3 months before school accounts were created, and the resit was scheduled within the period school app was locked, which makes me miss the rest.

I talked to my module leader, and he said there was nothing he could do since I missed the resit. I went for an appeal, and they also said there was nothing that could be done.

I received a shocker two days ago, I received an email from the school visa and immigration department saying,

"Our records show that you are out of academic opportunities for one of your modules, and this therefore means you may not graduate with your full award and instead, upon successful completion of your remaining modules, you would be awarded a lower-level qualification than that which you were originally expected to achieve, You should note that in this event, this would mean that you are likely to be ineligible to apply for the Graduate Route Visa if you wished to do so. ''

I also received an email this morning from my module leader saying that I will be awarded a postgraduate diploma instead of a master's degree.

I have cried and cried my eyes out, I know I have disappointed my husband, who works tirelessly every day and night. He works in a warehouse and also as a security guard. For me to be able to get to this stage of my life,he has been there for me every day.

He has been down with this news for the last few days.

I will be submitting my dissertation by April, so I will be officially finished with school.


Please, where do I go from here?

I am a caregiver, and I have been for a year now. Getting COS from most care homes as a student has not been easy.

Hopefully, after submitting my dissertation, I can get a care home that can sponsor me.

It seems that's the only way out for me and my family now.

Please, house, I will need any other suggestions.

Thank you for your contributions.

Not sure the embolden is what happened - a BRP can't expire before end-of-course date rather it is possible the VO made an innocent mistake extending the validity. Becos I have seen some students with extended validity dates on their BRP beyond what their course mates who applied same time got. Now those students are unable to work full time after submitting their dissertation while those who got correct dates have been able to. But I also think it is correct bearing in mind that Feb - May is 4 months left on MA's validity + the extra 4 months usually given, makes the dependent's validty extend to September giving him a total of 8 months.

Ayowolebami:
Wouldn't advise anyone to take this risk cause dependent has to apply at least 6 months before MA's visa expires and visa vignette expires within 3 months after issue if I'm correct. Let's not forget also that adult dependent can't be out of the UK for more than 180days in a year so if you add all these info, it's unrealistic for dependent to come in a week before MA's visa expires.

I don't wanna believe the person that got dependent visa of 6 months that extended beyond MA's validity. My guess is that he mistook end of session for end of visa (BRP expiration) cause dependent visa solely depends on MA's visa validity and period.
Travel › Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 2) by bigtt76(f): 5:32am On Mar 09, 2023
No one is doubting you though. I've personally seen some students whose BRP validity extends by a month or two beyond what was issued to their course mates of the same session. Mistakes such as this may innocently happen but doesn't mean it is the norm.

Those students affected as mentioned above, though got extra months compared to their mates, are now in a fix cos after submitting their dissertation, are unable to work full time cos their BRP still sees them as students in school term.


Hkana:
Like I mentioned in my original post. My wife's BRP was valid till May while mine was till September, issue date was February.

I only made the input to help with the confusion the supposed "6 months" on MA's visa was causing.

Saw someone say I probably mistook course end date for visa expiry date... lol. You're not obliged to believe what I've written just as I'm not obliged to share pictorial evidence. I won't make further comments on this topic.

Ok like I suggested, contact your school's visa support for better clarification. If I stumble on the advise from my school, I will share wink


eniola1010:
What they mean is that the student must be on a course that is more than 6month, cus there are some degrees that aren't up to 6months, they did not say the dependent must apply 6months before the MA's studentship expires.

It is a condition for your dependent to apply for a dependent visa under the study route. If your dependent is not eligible for that visa first then no way s/he can apply to be joined on the PSW. I will share with you that when I get but I think it was also a part of the application pack sent by my school.

Update
This section below speaks to the above - Dependent won't get a visa approved if main applicant is on a study visa that is less than 6 months. If you are in doubt, contact your school's Visa support team for clarification, they are the best to advise you on same.
eniola1010:
Can you kindly show the part where they said dependant should have come 6month prior to the end of MA's education. I cant find it even on the picture and link you posted

Travel › Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 2) by bigtt76(f): 9:24am On Mar 08, 2023
I think the below speaks to this and is particular about the following:

https://www.gov.uk/graduate-visa/your-partner-and-children

1. Partner and children must have applied for the dependent visa at least 6 months into the MA visa duration (NOTE your dependent might not be successful applying for a dependent visa when the MA has less than 6 months left on their visa and I think this is in alignment with the minimum lenght of visa UKVI issues for studies in the UK)

2. Partner and children must have JOINED MA in the UK before the PSW application is filed (this is also in alignment of the MA being in the country during the application process)

I hope this helps

CheesyTee:
You're right. I was unable to find the page that had the information on gov.uk

There is no longer a specific time they can apply to join.

Nor run madt oooo cheesy cheesy

For your credit score to grow, you must have access to credit facilities either in form of utility bills paid or credits from credit card companies or credit score boosting apps.

Question
a. Is your rent paid by bank transfer directly to the landlord's account? If yes, try setting up a standing order to execute same time every month
b. How is your council tax or utility bills paid? Do you have Direct Debit set up on your account to debit it every month? Direct debits are reported to credit bureaus
c. Look for Contract-SIM from any of the mobile networks (I use Virgin mobile) and port your current line to them, use direct debit to pay for this monthly. To call home you can use cheap call cards available in Tescos or ASDA etc
d. How long have you been on the electoral roll?

Try the following

1. Place the embolden on standing order and use the following to report your rent payment to report the rent payment to credit agencies.
2. Credit Ladder sign up using my referral https://www.creditladder.co.uk/join/4kN2nMj0DmjpABDL),
3. Loqbox (sign up using my link https://www.loqbox.com/en_gb/loqbox-invite?referral_code=SZJ9DXFXHX&referral_channel=link)
4. Sign up for AMEX https://americanexpress.com/en-gb/referral/tEMItOhbvx?XL=MNANS
5. Try not to open too many bank accounts (are your accounts online banks or conventional banks) or close any already opened
6. You should sign up to Experian credit score platform and they have a 30 days trial with which you can use to guide and boost your scores

You can report previous payment as currently is if you make the transfer same time monthly. The apps would pick it up from your bank account.

Tinyemeka:
Wehdone sir and welcome back.

I'm running mad here.

I've spent 4 months in the country and my TransUnion credit score is still in the mid-500's.

My records are in the electoral register, have got 3 bank accounts that I run transactions through frequently.

My wife landed long before me and I recently got added to the tenancy agreement. I've tried to apply for the AmEx credit card advertised by @Solumtoya and my request got declined (I'm sure because of my low credit score). I'm using a pay-as-you go mobile line (not contract).

What else can I do to boost my credit score? Or at least how can I secure a credit card?

An aside, I tried to sign-up for Rebtel to be able to call home cheaply, but couldn't because they said they don't support EE lines. Please do you know any other network that I could sign on a contract with my low score?

Appreciate all your assistance and contributions on this thread. 🙌

I think what she's saying here is linked to those companies that hire and sponsor workers from outside the UK for jobs which may not be on the shortage occupation list or something compared to those who sponsor workers from Tier 4

This is incorrect. You pay £536 to get a sponsorship license(small companies) and you can sponsor up to 10 people with it. Bigger companies pay higher but it's still not up to £1500 pounds for the license.
