@justwise and other gurus in the house. The date for my OPENING BALANCE for the proof of funds (financial requirement) is for Wednesday the 14st of July 2021. According to the 28days rule, what should be the ideal date for the CLOSING BALANCE?

Thanks.

Innocent94:
Hello,pls i just got my visa last month and applied as a single,is it possible to do a court wedding before traveling and have my fiancee come as a dependent?pls help!!!

The school seems to be out of touch with the new rules.

Send them the link and show them the rules

" You, or the account holder (such as your parents or partner ), must have control of the funds you are relying on."

DoubleN:
Hello House,

Must the POF be in the Principal Applicants account? Can't the POF be in the accompanying spouse's account?

The School we are processing is saying that the POF must be either in the Applications account or Parents account before CAS can be issued even though they are aware that the applicant is married and marriage certificate, change of name etc. have been shared with them.

Even with his guidance is stated there https://www.gov.uk/guidance/financial-evidence-for-student-and-child-student-route-applicants

Partner account can be used if in UK or accompanying.

Am I missing something here

Depending on the test provider you wan use as most of them tend to do a next day delivery once you pay. I will say wait a day or 2 before you book. No issues if you wan book am now as long as you have an address and will be safe till you land.

Hello everyone, please can I use different accounts for my UK visa?.
If I have funds in my Nigerian account and another fund in a foreign country where I live, Can I submit the two, I don't want to change my foreign currency into naira. I intend to use one account for myself and 1 account for my kids (dependants) please help me out

use naija own na as that shows child has permit to reside in naija. If you prefer to use US, scan and upload naija while you submit US passport

ccurrie:
Thanks so much. There was no part to add that o. Just nationality box after name. Followed by passport no.

Use both nationalities as child is dual. I do the same for my kids as well

ccurrie:
Hello guys please treat as urgent.

Sorry if it a silly question pls. I'm in the middle of my application. So I'm using my child's US passport. Pls if i want to fill nationality, should I fill USA or Nigeria? It is not asking country of issue. Nationality...pls nigeria or US. Thank you.

@justwise @Babababy @Bourne007

Everybody o. Pls. Before it times out again. Thank you

No. It's simple and straightforward guideline. It's either you or your parents

If he no trust you, at least make him transfer to your parents na

Tantamount20:

Not sure what advice you seek.

Do you want us to call and beg him to transfer to you?

Tantamount20:

Someone should kindly advice way forward...thanks

Google 'breaching a condition attached to their leave'

Chrishertz8:
I don't understand this please, can u please elaborate

And Breaching a condition attached to one's leave results to a 10 year ban

obioraval:
Yea. People have started applying. I just wonder if the rejection tempo would continue especially with the current labour shortage

This your jamb question self

Yes

canadaishome:
So I need to add it?

NI is a unique number associated to an individual even if she comot 100 years ago

canadaishome:
I need some help please

My spouse studied in the UK previously. Returned in 2013 and she has national insurance number.

The visa application form is asking for it but since she left 8 years ago, do I still need to add it?

Thank you for your response

I don't think that's a clause either. The rules changed late last year


"You, or the account holder (such as your parents or partner), must have control of the funds you are relying on."

TosinKate:
The clause I meant was, if the main applicant is applying alone, then the funds must be in his or her account.

There is no such clause o

"For dependant spouses, the money can be in your account or your partner's account".. It's on page 1

TosinKate:
Oga, you can all apply together. I do not see anything like family ties when we ours and we all got the visa.

The funds can either be in the main applicant or partner's account. The only clause is, if she is applying alone, the funds must be in her account. While funds for dependants can either be in the main applicant or the spouse.


I hope this clear your doubt.

It's surely regulated by CBN

Who know about this bank: Titan Trust Bank?

Yes!

Similar question was asked 2 pages back

hopcious:
Good evening everyone.

Quick one please, if I am resident in another country with my wife legally (study visa for myself and spousal for my wife) and she got admission to an institution UK, can we apply for her study visa (myself as her dependant) to UK directly from this country while using a POF from a Nigerian bank?

Thank you for the anticipated response.

1. You are exempted if lived 6 months or more
2. Doesn't matter as long as you have a residential permit to reside in either
3. Naira account is fine whether you apply from UAE or naija
4. Priority is usually 5 days

SirWellington:
Good day everyone,

I currently live and work in Dubai (i hold a valid UAE residence visa), but my fiancee is currently in the UK running her Masters program, we intend having our court wedding by November this year when i visit for my vacation after which i will apply to join her as a dependent by November/December this year, hence i want to ask:

1. Will i be needing a TB cert before i apply?
2. Would it be better to apply from the UAE or i do it from Nigeria?
3. We will be using our Nigerian (Naira) accounts as POF whether i apply from here or Nigeria, is that okay?
4. Does the priority service apply to getting an appointment swiftly after i submit the forms online via the UK visa application website?

Your swift response will be appreciated. Thanks

You can either request info from UKVI (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/requests-for-personal-data-uk-visas-and-immigration/request-personal-information-held-by-uk-visas-and-immigration) or give consent to the uni to obtain the info they need.

If refusal no be biggie, ask uni you are happy to give consent. If you however prefer to have a copy, go for the former

Lizzyboss83:
Great Minds here, I have been following this trend as a guest for some days now. I got an unconditional offer at Ulster university, made 50% payment, sent my TB cert but at the point of issuing my CAS, i was asked to send copies of my UK and US refusal letters, I have for US but my UK had been thrashed since i never knew it would be requested for at anypoint in my life.

I sent that of US but I was told to present that of UK even though I told them during CAS interview that I thrashed it long ago. Now I got a mail that CAS will not be issued without that.

Please I need assistance on how to get out of this quagmire. I need help right now. @justwise, Lagosismyhome and other great minds please help

The only document to show is proof s/he was resident for 6 months or more. And best you state this in 'Additional information' part of the application form

Refer to my post 9:32am On Jul 07

Mr2810:
Hi Everyone,

We are a family of 4 applying for the student visa (main applicant & 3 dependants). One of my dependant recently returned from the UK where they lived as resident and by such is exempted from IOMs Tuberculous test. Wanted to know if this exempted applicant is required to present any document to that effect or the Visa issuing officers will automatically know they are exempted. I don't want to take chances. Thank you all in advance.

I personally know a couple even on a Tier 4 / dependant visas o, used H2B about 3 years ago and has no issues switching visas

Lexusgs430:
Ok o, what do I even know sef........

Worth a try regardless...... Make una wey try, no forget to update this thread ó......

What if pregnancy was during school, what if one gets hit by a bus nko? You making it sound like re-sit is terrible and CAS cannot be issued.

justwise:
You are miss-applying that rule, if you came to the UK pregnant and during your studies you gave birth and as a result you failed one or two modules or unable to finish your course then that got nothing to do with covid, if you tested positive or school activities got affected because of covid then the rule applies.

Giving birth is not part of your academic program and it got nothing to do with the school

Me I no know ọ lol.

But UKVI has not classified H2B as public funds hence wouldn't impact anyone on restricted visas

Lexusgs430:
So where is that loan/money coming from....... Government got no personal funds, all monies government spends, are public funds........

Help to buy is not public funds. Govt will get their money back if home is repossessed

Lexusgs430:
Are you eligible to receive public funds, regardless of immigration status...........

You are right but this exactly proves my point. UKVI exempted because there's a global pandemic where students are impacted financially, mentally, medically, psychological you name it. What then happens to for instance giving birth during school. Are you saying they will discriminate against her when the uni knows quite well they can extend her visa using the re-sit option and can prove academic progression? And don't forget that the bolded was implemented because of those who purposely fail their module. You and I know quite well that if it can be proven beyond doubt that it's not the case, UKVI wouldn't have issues extending.

I don't know anyone who's re-sat. I am certain some students have gone through the re-sitting process with no impact but you cannot say they will not issue CAS. Plus as it stands, this temp rule overwrites the current rule as the impact of covid on individual cases are different.

Let's just hope no one repeats or have to re-sit a module

justwise:
Academic progression hasn't changed because of covid19 rather an exemption was made and that is just aa temporary measure

Your screenshot demonstrated that, Its says and i paraphrase ... If a student was unable to complete his/her course because of covid then an exemption can be made... but with the lockdown over, legal rules and restrictions removed and Vaccine available your chances of using covid as an excuse is diminishing gradually.

Academic progression still remain the same...moving from one level to another or changing course at the same level.

This is not what Academic progression means. Decided to look it up UKVI site and hope this clears it. New rules seems to have exempted from demonstrating academic progression.

justwise:
If you can't progress then you can't graduate and if your visa is curtailed you have to leave the country and chances of getting another visa is remote.

How many students have the money to go through this process and still return to complete the course?

This is mentally and emotionally exhausting for any student.
