It's standard. It's restricted work to No DR/DEN Training / Sportsperson. If you have any concerns, raise with UKVI as we no fit change am to unrestricted

PMID:
Thanks for ur response. But how can it be normal? They wrote ‘work restricted’ in my wife’s dependant visa. I taught is suppose to be unrestricted work so she can work without restrictions. Pls I need clarification from anyone Thank u.

No issues here ma

Zimzee:
have gotten my Visa as the principal applicant, and now my hubby and the kids wants to apply using hubby's bank statement.
But the issue is that my husband has four names (eg, okeke ugonna Williams ugo) in his passport, but his bank statement bears only 3 (okeke ugonna Williams) out of the 4 names.
Would it be a problem if he presents the statement showing only 3 names out of his 4 names?

centuryman:
Good morning everyone,

I have a concern and I hope somehow someone here will be able to help me.

Sometimes between 2006 and 2008 (I can't remember the actual year though I'm thinking it was 2008), I asked an agent to make a visit visa application for me (I can't say if he did or not) - my memory of everything is hazy. In my mind, it seems I was at the embassy for biometric (I don't know if they have started biometric capturing at the time and if an applicant would appear for interview) - again my memory of everything is hazy. At the end of the day it seems I was denied. I have the passport with me but there's no stamp or sticker reading DENIED and no paper saying same. This makes me thinking very hard. Many things running through my mind.

Now I want to apply for student visa and don't know how to answer the part where it asks if I have been denied visa before. How can I know if I have been denied before? Can I write or call the embassy to request for this or is there a way I can know? How best can I handle this situation. I want to do everything right.

I tried to be as detailed as possible with the hope you would be able to help me. I am sorry if it appears I am bothering you. I hope to hear from you and learn from your experience.

@justwise, @scobby, @fetomowo, @dumebii and @all.

I googled it for you

Richhard:
I see, know answer to first question?

Cc Bourne007

'Cos the law of the land says so

Richhard:
Those in lagos, where do you do covid test? And how much?

Also if you're negative, why do you have to Quarantine for 10 days?

The bolded is the right answer as family wouldn't be travelling with her at the time. Also, she doesn't have to enrol first before her family can apply.

Ojasope1:
Good day Gurus,

My sister got her visa today, on her application form she filled NO for the question if she would be going with her family. Her family intends to join her a month after she goes. Now she wants to apply for them, her agent told her she can not that it's a new rule that she has to enrol first before they can apply.

Is this true? because I did the same thing with my spouse and got my visa.

Is this just Coinbase or Coinbase Pro?

Lexusgs430:
Not revolut (you don't have the key).......

coinbase........... Is your base .......

FYI

missjekyll:
Hi Everyone, does anyone know whether the Nigerian High Commission is open?

Visa collected

Biometric day: 26th July ( Standard)
Collection mail: 11th August
Collected: 12th August.

Have learned alot from this trend.
What I have learned from my visa process is to be sincere and truthful.

Again.. We have answered this question a million times if you read just few pages back.

You can apply anywhere in the world as long as you have the permit to reside in the country.

As for POF, you can use naira account from anywhere as long as you meet the requirements.

2C1E:
Ha! I have used my Wema account already to apply for my cas.. I thought I can apply from abroad

Nothing but false.

ggg4:
If you doing it anywhere outside Nigeria make sure you use the POF from a bank in a country you would be applying from. I live abroad too and I had to come home to apply because my money is in naira. I hope this helps.

It falls under FLR (HRO) outside the PBS rules which I mentioned earlier using Article 8 right to family life. I remember helping a friend with article 2 and 8 back then .. Best to also involve a solicitor if there's a need to

dustydee:
With kids involved, there may be a way. I am not sure if "right to family life" applies here but you can research that while we wait for the experienced ones like Lexusgs430. Meanwhile, what is you skillset? You can look for a Tier2 sponsored job as well.

Those who are cohabiting self dey get visas

Chrishertz8:
Please my people, is it true that marriage has to be up to 6months before one can be qualified to apply as couples

Sorry to hear. For unforeseen situation like this, the process of switching to another category doesn't come cheap.

The cheapest will be to switch to a skilled work / Health visa OR Temporary Worker - Religious Worker visa but you will have to find a sponsor
The easiest is to switch to a student visa
There's Innovator visa (formerly Tier 1 Entrepreneur) but requires lots of investment funds. You can look up Startup visa (don't know if you are eligible)

You can also look up FLR (HRO) but it's a category outside the rules. The chances are slim hence doesn't guarantee approval.

All the best

lightest:
Good morning,

pls, I need urgent advice and I believe I will see a sincere and genuine one as always.

I will safe stories, I am on a dependent visa on my wife and we are to renew soonest.

we have some issues and she told me to leave the house and am sure she won't want to renew my visa for me.

what are my odds and chances of getting visa on my own pls.

it's frustrating

There's really nothing to shed light on. Do you expect to do biometrics on 19 and leave the country on the 20th?

CW will issue Vignette on the day it's approved

Thedeewhy22:
Pls can you share more light to this. Thank you because the person is using priority.

A bottle go do us

kkus:
Thank you! Oya nau, how many bottles?

Congrats and welcome to the Queen of Midlands. Buy groundnut for us ọ

kkus:
Visa alert! Visa alert!! Visa alert!!!
Application submission: 15th July
Biometrics: 29th July (Priority/ TLS Ikeja)
Collection mail: 6th August
Pickup: Passport pickup with Visa 9th August

Silent reader here� and I read this entire thread from page 1 till it got to the point of having to keep refreshing each day to see what's new. It has been an immense source of support and comfort especially when anxiety wan finish me while waiting for decision mail.

I also want to add that for people with DOB error on their WAEC certificate, all I did was make an affidavit for that and also uploaded my birth certificate. It was enough.

Thank you to @justwise and everybody contributing to this fountain of knowledge. I deeply appreciate you all.

Congrats to everyone with Visas and best wishes to those expecting decision this week and beyond.

@Tolvin I pray all works out well for you.
NTU here I come!

No issues

CW will be having a laugh if using standard or even priority

Thedeewhy22:
Good evening NL

Pls if when filling the application form for the VISA and one put aug 20 for date you plan to leave to the uk but the date given for biometric is 19th aug…hope there’s will not be issue with that?

Thank you for your response.

Yes you can

Risazii:
Good day all. Please can I use Stanbic bank statement downloaded from the app for visa application without a reference letter from the bank? Gurus in the house pls help

What about Coventry or Warwick? Coventry is about 50 minutes by train to Oxford Station with no change over while Warwick is 40 minutes with 1 change. Accommodation in Coventry/Warwick will be cheaper than Berkshire obviously but train fare needs to be factored in.

Josh121:
We are in the same shoe, looking at berkshire pls anyone which idea about this location should help us ooo

I missed that. Thanks

fificole:
Your partner MUST be in the UK or you both are applying at the SAME TIME.

Please read it again. I just did.

Under the header: Types of funds you can rely on.

Applicants don't have to apply at the same time and still use partner's account

Read the link you shared again

babavick:
Yes, your spouse can sponsor only if you are applying at the same time or your spouse is present in the UK. Otherwise, he/she cannot sponsor.

From experience, my spouse was the sponsor of our family of 4, we applied at the same time and we all got our visas.

There's a reason why Obama was nicknamed deporter in chief lol

Congrats to your brother. Some of us like being free by doing things the right way

Pascalinho4real:
You don’t have family in America so you don’t know what is happening there , America have a working system but people are many , you get ICED when you get into trouble , as long as I’m concerned you will be in that country for years without been detected. Have you heard they deport someone from America like that?

Police will arrest an illegal migrant and release them later without been deported , my brother was arrested 2019 and he is undocumented immigrant and he is still in the county Atlanta Georgia precisely

So say what you are sure of …. The dream is to move to America not to remain with Eliza…..I pray we all make it IJN

SMH.. Until you get ICEd

Pascalinho4real:
Visiting the US have a lot of Advantage for someone with more responsibility, he is right in his statement, America is land of opportunity and you can stay illegal in America without been detected untill you get permanent residency to return home , but UK is a police country you can’t be mobile while you are out of status , most people here turned to UK because America is difficult to get the VISA but UK visa on your passport is just like a route and an enzyme to speed up the process and success of US visa , my advice here is make UK as your transit country while you are studying… America and Canada is much better to earn a living and send money home

Bolded is nothing but false

There's no such thing as 30 hours per week. Plus what does spread out your program even means. Universities have deadline for payment for each year and they don't have students to spread anything over a period of 2 years. Except u dey go university of Argos LOL. Usually a 2 year program comes with a placement/internship and if no placement in the 2nd year within the deadline, student will be asked to do project early. This also means the university will inform UKVI of the change.

Not sure how visiting US at a certain age has anything to do with any of this

fetomowo:
This needs to be stressed out more than once. If you don't have money for living expenses. Please go to a university that you can afford.

It may help if your are coming with family - a spouse that can hustle full-time.

Spread out your program for two years by doing a two year masters. In that case you can legally work 30 hours a week. Then you can also have two summer breaks if you have a September start. Once for January start. Summer breaks usually span 3-4 months anytime between April-September depending on your school.

During summer breaks as well as between your course end date and graduation date you can work as much as your body will allow you.

Again, don't go to cities that are costly. You will struggle to pay bills. You will have no savings and most probably you won't be able to complete your tuition payment. (An advice - don't start sending money to Nigeria, save your money in the UK, keep a low profile. It's not yet time to start doing Father Christmas.)

Post Study Work Visa is not guaranteed. You can be eligible and still not get it. So you must have other plans. While you are in the UK, take the opportunity to get US visit visa (this is very important for old people - those in their 30s and above), you can look at Canada and Australia for skilled immigration, if you are pretty young (early twenties) or you are young (late twenties and early thirties) and have a family.

Those of you that like to abuse opportunities thinking no one is watching you. Better believe it the UK have your records o. Una go collect contract phone Una nor go pay. You dey owe council tax after your finish school. May be your case don dey with magistrate sef. If you are interested in PSW na to behave yourself properly o. Nor chook hand for wetin some other Naija people dey do o. Your own route is PSW, do only what will not affect your chances. You and person wey dey file for Refugee status nor be the same thing.

Another option is to do another Masters, if you've saved up. Or continue on a PhD. This need not be in the UK. If you have the money consider continental Europe, Republic of Ireland, Germany, Austria, Netherlands etc.

By all means, make sure you are not returning to Nigeria the way you left. Well that is if jakpa is your ultimate goal. Have plan A, B, C, and D. If life happens to A, you switch to B. Start planning now!


I hope I have spoken well.

The first pix is related to CAS while the 2nd is related to a previous application for a UK visa.

justwise:
Yes its about your CAS, apart from bank statement and TB test result, all other documents are listed in the CAS

He's right. He's not confusing anyone as question is related to previous application with UKVI and not CAS related

justwise:
Please stop confusing people here

I honestly don't know as it depends on the caseworker.. . Some might ignore and see it as an error while another might just follow the books

DeehoneyHomes:
Please can this affect one's application if one has done biometric already?

I can't confirm this but based on what I've read here, it can be amended by the TLS guys on the day of biometrics

You can prepare a letter indicating the error and get it uploaded.

Refer to Ribabu(f): 9:39am On Aug 03 page 742 to avoid a scenario like this

Fk1987:
Pls what if the person have indicated she will be traveling with the dependent in the visa application and while the proof of funds is just for one person, what can be done? And the dependent will be coming later in the year,
And she choose assisted service for her biometric. Can anything be done on the day of the of biometric to change it that she will be going alone?

Thanks for ur anticipated response.

You fill all your dependants as normal but NO to 'Is this person travelling with you to the UK' on each dependant

olizzz:
Good morning, please how do I fill this part of the visa processing about my dependents. I am not applying with them and my POF is just for me alone. Though they will apply immediately I get my visa. Thanks
