LOL Take Lagos to Aberdeen na with 1 stop over eg KLM. Gatwick na long thing. You can take a bus from Heathrow. That might be about 12 hours road trip. There's the option to fly from Heathrow or take a train. Glasgow is obviously closer to Aberdeen which will be 3 hrs road trip. But it's all about the Benjamin's baby  Elizabeth28: Help!!!!

School letter is usually not enough. Banks still need a copy of customer's UK residence. NI with BRP is only auto for Tier 2 holders. As he's a student, he will need to go through the process of obtaining one. Pre-Covid, DWP used to interview and verify work status but not sure now. I suspect they send the necessary documents or they social distance. dustydee: Your school shukd be able to give you a letter to enable you open a bank account. NI, as I gave heard comes with the BRP so no worries there. Again the letter from your school should be okay for the GP but if not, still no need to worry. If you are sick, you will be treated. The expiry of the Vignette should not be a problem since the Home Office themselves are the ones responsible for the delay. In summary, no need to worry. Face your studies and you will get your BRP soon. Just periodically check with your school or Home Office. |

I don't think write up affects application as long as the school is prioritised. Usually the child is considered on catchment area and your personal preferences like religion, private or public, OFSTED rating, location etc Privates are competitive. If you want to write a well written statement, just go for Private jare .. . You can do it  fatima04: To sidetrack to another form of investment oo, which is my Child , Its time to fill in application for reception school for next sept. When filling the local authority application, how important is the write up on why one is choosing the school? It is not a compulsory question so just wondering if this will affect ones application if not well written.
Also, must one write a detailed one for each school (total of 5)? Abeg help a sister oo, all this school processes still confusing.

Downloaded utility bills (Bank statements etc) can definitely be used with no issues whatsoever. It's even recommended Think of the waste before you request for paper bills. Save paper, save trees, save money!  oxygyne: Hello Ladies and Gents,
Trust we are all doing well and keeping safe in the current climate (i.e Covid-19). It is going to be Christmas soon, hopefully it brings much needed joy and laughter to our homes.
A quick query, is it ok to use downloaded utility bills (i.e. SSE, BT, Anglian water) or do they all have to be posted to the house for it to be used for the application? Bearing in mind that the online bills are exactly the same as what you receive in the mail.
Need to be sure, please.
Thanks in advance. |

I followed those there stupid guidelines as well just as you need and got denied. It was until I added pictures, chats etc that they came to their senses umarwy: Guidance says marriage cert and joint bills. And also the guidance clearly states not to add unceasary docs or irrelevant docs.
April 2019 Me and my big head after reading PBS dependant guidance back to back out in application for my spouse with marriage cert and only docs requested (maintanance, passport etc) na so we see denial for mail oh.
When we reapplied, I put everything putable, pictures, chat call history, letter from naija government, letter from court etc. That's when we are granted the visa oh.

Proving is one thing, the rules are another. I'm sure the ECO would want to follow the latter. Can you show us where it says over 18 can? mimilyrics: The dependant rules apply to a child above 18 only if the child hasn't married or started living an independent life and the parents can prove it. |
Travel › Re: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered Part 4 by Bourne007(m): 2:53pm On Nov 29, 2020 |
But first child is 19 and dependant rules apply to under 18 years. Even if op submits all these proof to convince ECO, same guidelines will apply. Don't you think? mimilyrics: 1. Yes, you can all apply at once. You can also decide that your husband applies first if you think that there's a risk of refusal to prevent wasting the associated fees. This all boils down to your preferences. 2[b]. No as long as he's not married, in a civil partnership or living an independent life.[/b] 3. Depends on you. You can decide for the main applicant to go first to sort accommodation so that the stress of searching and cost of temporary accommodation while you look for a permanent one doesn't affect you all. On the other hand, you can all decide to come together if you don't mind the cost and stress.
To prove that he's dependent on you, submitting the following will help prove your case and convince the ECO that he meets all the requirements of a student dependant visa; 1. An official letter from their current school, college or university that confirms their address (which should be same as yours). 2. bank statement (which may show funds that you/your husband are still providing to support him). 3. Driver's licence (the address on it should be the same as your address). 4. evidence that he is being financially supported by you and your husband up to the point of the application submission (for example, evidence covering a 3 month period prior to the application) |

They can't use your application number to apply for 'Dependant Visa'. You will have to get your BRP permit usually given when in the UK then they can apply. mhizjessy: Thank you for your response.Yes, I am the child. My dad is unable to break these funds as he has fixed it for over year. He is unable to transfer to me at this time. He can only do that in December. My applications are for JANUARY 2021 so the 28 days needs to already be counting. Alternatively is possible for my dad to show financial evidence for me for both CAS and visa in December and then my family applies for visa in January referencing my application number but using my husband's account or our joint account. That is applying separately within a 2 week period. Thanks. |

UKVI uses OANDA ( https://www1.oanda.com/currency/converter/) for conversion.

Yes that's correct. It can be more than 28 days. But once printed, use within 31 days and if you don't, just re-print michellez: Please can someone explain this clause to me, ending no more than 31 days before your application?
I'm a bit confused. Does it mean that after the 28 days you should print your bank statement then you must apply for the visa within 31 days of printing the statement? |

Really bizarre an employer wants to employ a student to work more than 20 hours (except on uni break or on holidays). Not only s/he is breaking immigration rules but the company, if found out, will face penalties. If it's that juicy, ask for sponsorship. femimat: Abeg ant risk of working beyond 20hours as a student in the UK? A student has got a juicy offer but it will be more than 20 hours.
