Guy no be like Naija. I currently use Monzo as well (make sense die). Most of the banks (if not all) do not charge any monthly fee unless you upgrade to one.

profemebee:
hmmmmm i think thats what i'm scared of.. lol

so i guess i can manage the Monzo account..

my BRP didnt come with NI nos. so thats another thing i av to run..

I know that feeling. I got detained too last August say my name just dey flash RED

profemebee:
my dear...

it was a bad one.. infact it was like a dream..

the Officer screened my passport, then asked if i had issues getting the visa.. i said NO..

then he asked if i have ever been refused before, i said Once.. and then he flipped and went into ogbanje mode asking why i lied earlier on..

i got confused in my mind telling him he asked 2 different questions to which i replied.. and its also stated in my spousal visa application..

He then took me to the detention center section and gave me a form stating why i might be denied entry and all.. ticked the boxes stating pending my answers to further questions i will know if i will be let in..

guess what na so i see 4 nigerian boys dey display.. and he probably used that pattern to judge me too cos the boys were all going cray.. one was asked if his wife worked and he said no.. then asked if he worked.. na so story dey go for the guy..

then there was another indian looking guy who was asking for his lawyer..

i was on the phone wit my wife, and asked to not use phones.. so i obeyed and waited for the officer who was with another checking some records on the monitor..

fam... i was just chewing gum trying to be calm.. like i didnt go thru all these to stop here..

10mins later he came back wt my passport stamped and said he was sorry he needed to do more enquiries into my case cos of my response.. i told him his question wasnt clear..

asked him abt the detention form.. and he said its nothing... i cud tear it up.. then he took it and squeezed it all. .showing me my stamp.. and saying im free to go.. that i wasnt detained but the form was to let me know i needed to answer some questions..

na so i go carousel to pick my bags only to see them on the floor.. broken and damaged ..

Also, flight from Lagos left like an hour late, so i almost missed the connecting flight to London at Istanbul..

what a day...

got my BRP sha and just dey rest...

But you no go get charged for any monthly fees if that's what you are thinking

profemebee:
lol.. i don run go buy hoodie & jacket ooo..

Abeg which of these new kids on the block btw Monzo & Starling offer normal basic account that isnt current account?

all i see is current account.. i never set for that one as i never get job. and i never even resign for work for naija ..

Yesterday, all the main banks like HSBC, LLoyds,etc reject me like say i get body odour *sobs** cos of proof of address in my name e.g. bills

I meant switched visas to different categories (Tier 1, Tier 2, Spousal) after placement.

The bolded is definitely allowed but would't be called a placement. It will be more of a graduate or junior role.

chinkichun:
Hello Bourne007, could you please clarify the "switched visas" bit of your post. Ypu mean switched to the regular work (tier 2) visa and held on to their placement jobs after they completed studies?

I don't know why they are saying this and the individual rules of issuing a year visa.

My partner got 2 years with two other friends (different universities). They worked part time, got placements (except one) and switched visas.

At the end of the day, what is on CAS determines what UKVI will issue

Cheers

Jayvallia:
Well I got a one year visa. Then the school is supposed to apply to the embassy for an additional 1year for the placement. It's not stated on the CAS.

Quick question though, we were told if you want to benefit from the 12month placement, then you shouldn't have done any kind of job in the UK. As in no part time job. You shouldn't use the 20hr weekly ukvi won't extend your Visa. Anyone heard this before? I am in Birmingham

Is he coming to your school ?

Your school chose to do that doesn't mean you should generalise hence the wrong info.

Zoey1:
You can mail my school and tell them what they did was wrong.
The title of the course even included "with placement year or study abroad" yet it was not added to the visa duration.

Nothing to be confused about. If you applied for a 2 year programme with placement, you will get 2 years visa

[quote author=mogatti post=82748902][/quote]

Info is wrong.

Your CAS will state the expected end date and if it's a 2 year programme, you will be issued 2 years + 4 months

In the Shadow of the Moon ... Worth watching

Note that most Unis (if not all) do take attendance as well so they can report who's breaching immigration rules

Jayvallia:
Please guys. I am doing an MSC and it appears I have lectures everyday. Is it compulsory to attend every lecture? How then do you work?

The wedding year

Maintenance funds covers this so you don't necessarily need am.

assumpta1:
Please do I need to include proof of accommodation when applying as dependant? We are yet to secure accommodation there and we plan to get bed & breakfast for the first few days.
@justwise
@bourne007
Thanks for your help so far

You (sirgigs) can apply to bring a dependant to the UK if those 3 bullet points are met

sirgigs:
The part that has to do with Dependants. I am not clear about the bullet points below;


*Sponsored by a higher education institution on a course at level 7 on the Ofqual register or above that lasts 9 months

How does a Higher education Institution sponsor my Dependants?

Just noticed you've actually loaded before lol.

From all the 3 points you listed, you fall into that category.

I would have translated in your language but not sure which you speak

gratefulme40:
Thanks for responding


Yes, I have seen that and uploaded it before
I just need to be clear with regards to the very last sentence there

1.I currently have a tier 2 leave to remain since my application was made and granted with the UK
2.In my COS, my sponsor ticked find maintenance for me and the COS is still valid
3. My sponsor is A rated and I didn’t submit any proof of fund maintenance

With the above three points, does it mean that I don’t need to submit proof of fund for my spouse.

English is not my papa language, when it comes to this immigration grammar, sometimes, I just need someone else to help me understand

See attached

gratefulme40:
Hi People
Bikonu eh.... I am doing my dependant’s application, I have just renewed my tier2 and the COS which I used for my renewal is still valid and it certified fund maintenance for me.

My question is, do I still need to attach account statement to my spouse’s application to show fund maintenance being that my COS hasn’t expired, besides, what I renewed is “Tier 2 Leave to remain and not “Leave to enter”

Don’t even know if I am making sense but sha.... you people understand.

The situation (as far as you've said) is you having different opinions about applying together or separately unless there's more to it.

If he hasn't, then you can submit together. As simple as ABC

assumpta1:
He has submitted a form for CAS or so. He has not applied for visa. You won’t understand my situation o

This your level of confusion no get part 2 oo . You really need to calm down.

Has he submitted and paid? If not, just amend and he can put in your details. (Obviously with the appropriate maintenance )

If he has however submitted and paid, you will have to wait till he gets his BRP.

There's nothing confusing about this. He's not left yet you are missing him already

assumpta1:
I’m so confused. As it is now I have to wait till he gets his visa. But I don’t even know if I should apply before he leaves or when he gets to the UK. When will be the best time to apply?
@justwise abeg no vex

Read from page 1 and it will give you a picture of how the whole process is like. All the best

assumpta1:
Yes I am � I don’t know about all these things so going through the process alone is another issue.

Are you again worried if you apply separately ?

assumpta1:
He selected No. Left alone to me we would have applied together but you know it was beginning to get confusing with the so called people that claims to have been applying for people and insisted that it is better to apply separately.
But do you know if anybody has successfully applied and gotten the visa after the partner got his/her own?

If you haven't submitted, it can be amended.

Otherwise you will have to wait till he gets to the UK before applying 'cos he needs to send you a copy of his BRP

assumpta1:
Can I apply as soon as he gets his visa? Or will I have to wait till he gets to the UK before applying seeing that we already filled the form that he’s not applying with his dependant.

This is so untrue. UKVI rules are simple. It's either you meet up with the requirements or not. The latter obviously is grounds for refusal.

At the end of the day, it's up to you really as I cannot decide for you. Either together or separate, it doesn't make any difference whatsoever.

Even if you want to go for good, you are not the first lol and wouldn't be the last. Visiting visas fall more in this category than any point based visas.

assumpta1:
People have been saying that the chances of rejection is high if we apply together as they might think we are going for good. That is not the case at all. What do you advise? When should I apply? I’m getting fed up.
Cc: @justwise

Why are you listening to different opinions and not stick with the Tier 4 depandant rules? There is a reason why the guidance is online. Out of curiosity, what different opinions have you heard?

As long as maintenance is met when applying together (or even separately), it doesn't make any difference.

assumpta1:
Hi guys. So because of the different opinions here and there I won’t be applying with my husband. In fact he already submitted the form where he was asked if he’s applying with a dependant. My question is can I still apply as a dependant later? And also how soon can I apply after he gets his visa? Before he leaves or after?
Cc @justwise

I will suggest you do both.

coolsec:
Oh ok .. so should I get the documents all ready, when I am about applying for a visa ? Or I wait for the decision from RGU ..because I applied for a course.

Whether scholarship or PhD, the fact is you breached immigration rules and this even comes with a 10 year ban (forgot to mention earlier).

As for the bolded, there are 'exceptional circumstances' like Family life.

coolsec:
Even if I get a scholarship? Or even going for a phd ? Uk will refuse ?I have people that were d[b]eported and still uk grants them visa[/b].. I lost a cousin then at white Chapel hospital , reason for my over stay

It is unlikely you will be successful in your Tier 4 application as it's a criminal offence to overstay unless you have a VERY GOOD reason for overstaying.

If RGU is aware of your immigration history, they wouldn't even issue you a CAS.

coolsec:
@justwise Pls advice me on this , I overstayed my 6 months (with an additional 2 months) visiting visa to uk 3 years ago was served an overstayer form at point of exit , ( wasnt deported, i willingly booked a flight back ) and was asked to include form anytime I want to apply for any visa in uk which i haven't over the years , I just applied for a MSc in Public health at RGU , will this give me issue when Re applying for a student visa of am giving admission ??

Companies vary and if they are unenlightened about these visas, there's simply no one can do o. Explanation will just be in vain.

There HR law says minimum ILR so saying depandant wouldn't work o. I'm pretty sure you will get something even better

Aphrodite007:
Wow.

Tbf, I can understand tier 1 or tier 2. But I don’t need their sponsorship. So why are they worried if I’m on ILR or spousal? Can I also call mine a dependent visa? I really liked that job offer- it’s as if they copied and pasted my CV. It’s paining anyhow that I was turned down due to frivolities.

Even the Home-grown students don't pay 4k anymore Lol

Gavrelino123:
Good evening House..

kindly, can i get a tuition for of 4k Pounds Yearly in UK for Masters?
I studied economics and graduated with a 2nd class upper ...
God bless u all as i seek your opinion...

A bit odd! Some companies can be scared of those on 'leave to remain' 'cos they worry anything can happen while ILR is a guarantee.

I remember when a company calls me then and I say Tier 4 depandant, they never call or email back just 'cos of the Tier 4 restrictions. But when they call and I say Depandant visa, they proceed with my application lol thinking it's a Tier 1 or 2.

Aphrodite007:
People o, I have come again.

Is it right to turn me down for a job because I am on spousal visa? They said that I must be on ILR. No, it’s not a security company, they said it’s just their HR law.

If you had recounted 28 days, wouldn't you have missed Monday as well?

Press them I'm pretty sure they will issue. Isn't there late registration?

Seems like the UK govt is competing with the US in the comedic and entertaining world

If I recall, application form doesn't even ask if one is pregnant or not and this is what happens when you provide information not required.

My advice: It's point based visa so stick with the documents on your checklist. Baby not born yet so doesn't qualify to be dependant.

dannycrane77:
hello guys pls I need urgent answers from any1 knowledgeable in this area assist me with list of any additional document my pregnant cousin applying for a tier4 visa Phd student. Should include in her application after starting she’s pregnant to avoid visa rejection.

Then she will have to study and practise the new area which might cost more.

Instructor ideally should have advised. I remember there were 2 areas. One had hills and the other was flat. Even though the hilly area was close, instructor told me to go for the flat area

spacyzuma:
Sorry o.
I think the best tip is to look for a postcode that has a higher success rate of passing the test. I saw an article on bbc some months ago about it.
These areas are usually some distance away from city centres and have less traffic. Also pick a time that avoids rush hour (eg between 11am - 2pm)

I'm in scotland and passed on my 3rd attempt, despite doing it in an area close to traffic.
