Yes don't do this else they will start asking for all kind of documents from your friend which she might not be able to render. Avoid it. use your school address.


sainted:
Hello everyone,

A work colleague has given me her address for use in the form. She told me I could stay with her for a month till my stipend kicks in.
The address is not very far from the university as well. But a family friend is telling me that this won't carry much weight and that I need something like a lease or a booking preferably in university accommodation for my application to be successful.

What does the house think please

Exactly and I think the bankers are deliberately luring students to do this so they can get their funds in lien which the banks also trade with and or record as part of their monthly targets. Some may be sincere but most are using it to their advantage. Truth is dollar nor de and the list is long.

Remember to always resist the urge to 'over shalaye' if you can afford it. Too many documentation may lead to complexities which the ECO may find difficult to understand. One person's reality may not be the same as yours. All the best.

Go for HIV/AIDS test



Witnesstony28:
I had this sexual encounter with a girl without condom in February of this year and since then my health has not been the same.

After 2 weeks of meeting her, I started feeling sick, had rashes at the back of both of my legs, tired almost all the time, sore throat, and since then I have taken all sorts of drug - orthodox and trado but yet no response.

I have to gone for several test. One result Said beta hemolytic streptococcus pyogenese was seen in my urine culture and I was given erythromycin and augmentin for 2 weeks. I felt a little relief. Then I started having tongues thrush.

It's almost 6 months now and I have not felt any better.

I have had HIV test done severally but all come back negative.

But my worry is, I still feel sick. What could this disease be.

The girl confessed that she only has what they call - heat. That's my first time hearing this.
I stay in ik and really need help. I sincerely regret that sexual encounter and wish I could retrace my steps.

Someone help!!!

Clearer now and I think if that's the case then he should mention this to the school. My thought here is that once UKVI approves it, the school is automatically notified that the visa is issued against the CAS from them. They may not understand the other part of the process or why the student hasn't resumed. Not everyone understands what Africans go through to get visas.


temodent:
My take on this is that it takes logic to understand the issue involved.

What I have been able to deduce ( I stand to be corrected) is that the printing of Visa stamp is done at the VAC, once a decision has been made by DMC regarding each application and communicated, so in these instance the May decision wasn't communicated due to administrative lapse, it wasn't stamped with a visa until when it was finally communicated in July.

The issue of having 2 visa stamps on the passport does not arise.
Travel › Re: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered Part 7 by bigtt76(f): 8:16am On Jul 30, 2022
Hmmmm ...from the screenshot, I see them mentioning that because they didn't send the decision to VAC, the visa was re-issued - my thoughts though, I find this funny though because not sending a decision to VAC shouldn't be a reason for a re-issue if no mistake in the name or any other details on the visa was reported. If visa was issued in May but was not sent to VAC, then they should've just notified VAC and off they go.

Let me ask, do you have two visas on your passport? The one issued in May and the re-issued one? It may appear that the message whoever replied you intended, was not properly conveyed.

Just try as much as you can to get the passport renewed so Nigeria doesn't happen to you. Lets assume you get your CAS issued first week of August, except your POF is ready, you might be able to apply for Visa until September and by the time its out, October is upon you, you can't travel with an expired passport.

But keep hopes alive though.


JustSynergy:
Good evening friends,
I applied for an M. Sc program in a U.K university.
All documents approved and payments confirmed by the school.
Waiting for CAS right now.
However, my concern is about my International Passport which is due to expire in October this year ( as against the Visa rule of a minimum of 6 months to expiration).
Now, I have applied for renewal, but my appointment for biometrics, issuance etc is long.
What can I do pleasehuh
Travel › Re: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered Part 7 by bigtt76(f): 5:10pm On Jul 29, 2022
There may have been a condition tied to the online lectures and or something OP is not telling us about his issue. For example I'm yet to see the reason why the visa was reissued. If initial visa was issued in May then there's the probability that his BRP was sent to either his school or post office and if left uncollected, it may be returned back to the home office who in turn would question why returned. School would have no choice but throw him under the bus (so to speak) to cover up why they are running a blended course. But its up to the OP to tell us the reason why the re-issue was done.


Cashmadam:
Good morning. I'm so sorry this happened to you.

First, believe that with God, anything is possibe.

Secondly, you need to get your school's phone number and call the admissions office. You must be ready to spend some money to talk to them on the phone. Don't give up till you talk to someone who can really help you. You should also call the international student office in your school and ask for help/advise.

If you were asked to defer and you didn't respond, that might be a major issue. They might have taken your silence as consent and gone ahead to defer you. Please note that your visa is always tied to your CAS so if your CAS has been cancelled, technically, your visa is now null and void. You must not travel with that visa. Again, your CAS can be updated with new information - e.g if you paid more money for your tuition. However, it cannot be re-issued if you defer. You will need a new CAS and have to go through the process again - just like you already mentioned.

If you did attend online classes as you claimed, then your school should not have asked you to defer - unless there is something you have not told us. Please be honest so that we can all help you.

Please check your school's website and get the numbers you need. This is now an emergency and emails will no longer help you with fast responses - which you need.

When you call the school, articulate your points clearly and provide facts. Be ready to use emotional blackmail if necessary.

Finally, pray and beg God to favour you. Nothing is impossible with God. Absolutely nothing. Please keep us informed on your progress.

Good luck!

Pls do and also retry those ones you attempted before because for some reasons yesterday when I first tried using my zenith bank card for the payment, it failed but this morning it went through.

1. Why was the visa reissued?

2. The CAS may not have been referenced before the visa was reissued so that part doesn't hold

3. You should appeal strongly to the school using all formal correspondences you sent to the university plus those from UKVI

4. Possible the school was forced to withdraw your CAS due to non-physical attendance of a course that required same. If they had listed the course as a blended one - on-campus and online, then it would've been different. Allowing you attend lectures online may have been a stop gap approach to help students resuming late but does not take away the fact you needed to attend physically.

Lekeleke2022:
I didn’t accept the defer offer I was sent cos I still had a pending visa application as at the earlier mail that came in July 8 giving me defer options since I didn’t meet up with the resumption deadline. I didn’t respond to it since I have already lodged a complaint to the home office as regards the delay.
Mind you I have enrolled online since April cos lectures resumed April 19 and I was attending online lectures till first week in July since there were other people affected too so school made provision for this The school stopped giving online lectures afterwards.
If truly the CAS was withdrawn as stated in the mail they sent July 8 then I believe UKVI would not have reissued the visa again July 15. I just felt there must be a way out.
I already mailed the school like I said earlier and I also attached my visa data page and home office mail that was sent to me prior to picking up my visa.

I would have proceeded with traveling immediately but I don’t wanna risk the border issue cos the last mail sent to me from school representative warned me not to travel to the UK even tho I had a valid visa
Travel › Re: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered Part 7 by bigtt76(f): 4:43pm On Jul 29, 2022
Did you formally inform your school on this backed by your numerous correspondences with the UKVI especially when you sited the error?

What was the error - cos I noticed you mentioned visa issued May 13 and if that is the case, your school may have gotten notification on this issuance date and may be received your BRP on your behalf.

Also, when was the initial resumption date for your school before the final resumption date? It would be good to know more so we can advise you.


Lekeleke2022:
Good evening everyone. Pls I need your expert advice as regards what to do next
I recently picked up my passport on the 26th of July with visa issued on July 15 after a long wait( biometrics was April 1).
This was following complaint I made to the home office which they acknowledged and apologized claiming it was an administrative oversight because the visa was initially issued May 13. They eventually reissued another one July 15 having sited the error and tendered apologies.
My school final resumption date was July 5 after several extensions by my school though have been updating them about the visa delay.
I immediately mailed my school informing them of my visa but to my surprise they responded that the CAS has been withdrawn even tho it was still within the 6months expiration period cos it was issued March 30. They further said I should accept option to defer to the next academic date which I didn’t even mind but the issue now is they said I have to get a new CAS and apply for new visa (N.B I have to pay a new visa fee, IHS and do another TB as the present one expires soon mind you the present visa expires Oct 13
I mailed them back and also copied Home office stating my displeasure that I can’t accept making another visa application since it wasn’t my fault and a new visa was just issued. I further made them realize that if a new CAS must be issued then it should easily be updated with the present visa since it’s same office that issues both CAS and Visa
Am awaiting the school and home office response.
I need expert advise and I also want to know if anyone has experienced such before and if yes, how was it resolved.
Thanks

Ayinke93:
Just thought to share an idea with you since you said you have some money in your DOM account. If you eventually have to wait till January, you can sell your dollars at black market rate and then try to pay with form A. Saves you a lot of dollars.

This only apply if you eventually have to wait till January.

Exactly ...please note that not all banks in the UK support account number validation to make sure the name of the school matches the account number. Get the school's account number from the school directly and not from any where else.

it is always advisable to get the official bank account from the school preferable via email or instruction to pay.

True and the reason is because everyone just want to experience that 'enjoyment' they saw others experience while they themselves were struggling and that's not life.

In life you learn through mistakes of yourself and that of others. To succeed, you need to understand the difference between - NEED and WANTS. Your financial situation should not define your lifestyle but rather you define it and maintain it no matter the change in circumstances. What I mean here for example - when you get an increment, do not change from your previous lifestyle but rather try to continue living as you were before the increment and save the excess.



BobDanielFXs:
Growing up as a teenager I had friends and we were money minded, we share business ideas that we would start immediately we get a certain amount of money!!

When we go to places where people spend money extravagantly we always say to ourselves, mehn this is just the money we needed to kick start that business!!

Life happens and after some while everybody just enter street and start to hustle, carry out different online gigs!

Luckily money start to roll in, and in the joy of the newly founded gigs we’ve started, here we are at the same spot spending extravagantly!!

Each of us later started the business we had in mind but it was never as quick as we expected!!

A lot of people make that first time money mistake!!


The first time you get a certain amount of money you’ve never own before and boom, that business plans becomes the last why you just what to flex small!!

Why would you use a missing passport number for your application or did it go missing after you submitted your application? You should've notified the school though. UKVI will request your travel history which might have been on the old passport ...how do you cover up for its missing status? Do you have a Police report or affidavit?
