1) Depending on when you are applying. The rule is it shouldn't be more than 31 days before your application but it's advisable to print 3-5 days before.

2) Passport has to be valid for 6 months minimum

3) A debit/credit card is required to pay online. Not sure what you mean by paying via Black Market

@justwise @OlowoB and other members, I'm not sure you guys remember my case. I was the one that lost my scholarship cos I cud not save enough for maintenance. Now I do and I will be travelling with my partner.

I will appreciate any advice coming from you all in order to have a successful visa application process. I started counting my 28days from 25th November. I have my CAS already.
My questions
1) Can I print the statement out on the 23rd Dec.( Pls note that my resumption date is 11th Jan 2017)

2) My partner has applied to renew his passport since a month ago at Ikoyi but they kept saying 'no booklet yet' . Can we go ahead and apply using his old passport which will expire in April 2017 while we wait for the new one?

3) Is black market the only way to pay for the visa fees & health surcharge or can you suggest any other means.

Every comment will be appreciated. MrsF, Mrs Daniel, Fizzle, Umarw, everyone!

PS: The guide and support you all give to one another on this forum is incomparable. Una too much!

So no be only me

Awesome movie! Watched 2ce self. not adultereted in any way as someone said. who knows where he gets his own movies

sladonery:
Anybody seen "The Neighbor"? Is the movie worth it? Don't wanna waste MB pls.

Why is he not eligible for super priority?

teejay21111:
You are not entitled to super priority service if you are applying for tier 4, but you can use the priority service which takes between 5-7days. Priority service costs just £150.

It's really strange they are questioning her visiting visa. Usually they check for academic progression and/or if you are currently living in UK and what the current visa status is. Except she's been banned by ukvi but again you said she didn't apply for a visiting visa.

Dongreat:
She didn't apply for it and certainly have no idea about the reasons for the refusal. If she had then she still will be using the old passport and not bothered going to the HQs then for a new one. The school told her that UKVI told them about all her immigration details but not why the visitor visa on the old passport was not granted ie no details about the old passport from UKVI was provided.

I have seen 2 or 3 people here on this forum using priority despite being refused before and still got there visa. Just clearly state the reasons why ECO was wrong, why u decided to use priority now and add your photo evidence etc.

adedayor12345:
Thanks Bourne for your response, can I still apply for priority service despite the fact that he now has a visa refusal history , because they say it is not advisable to use priority service if one has a visa refusal, is that true?

You will need to apply for a new short term vignette. Why don't you travel and he joins you on a later date? If however you can't travel without him (it's now -2 degrees so i understand ), why don't you use Priority Service, submit all the photo evidence etc and you should get a response within 5 days. Super Priority self dey.

Pls note that Admin review takes 28 calendar days max and if longer, they will contact you to explain why.

All the best

adedayor12345:
Hi Justwise,

My Husband's Tier 4 PBS dependant visa was refused based on the fact that ECO was not satisfied my marriage was subsisting ( not submitting pictures outside marriage, no evidence of contact ). I applied for a review and havent gotten any response after 1 week. My 30 days vignette visa will expire in 2 weeks and I dont want to travel without my husband. Do you suggest I re-apply for my husband and what further proofs do I need to submit aside wedding pictures and marriage certificate?

Nope not compulsory .. HO have the details on their systems anyways so why the need to certify it

negy2016:
Hello house,

For a tier4 dependant application, is it compulsory that the main applicant passport front page and Brp card/visa page photocopies be certified by a solicitor?

From 14th to 100th

This game is too easy mehn

Ibime:
From 77th to 11th.


This game is too easy mehn.

Subject: Application for Extension of Student Visa under Tier 4 General to complete Level 6(Top-Up)

I doubt if you can get this week. The only tip I have is to ask Uni to chase UKVI (hopefully you can get next week) and also ask them to extend your late arrival.

folafabz:
@trumpswall have you collected your passport? If yes. Any tips on how to make it quicker? Cheers

Hope UKVI has sent instructions on how to pay. I think normally u will have to fill in the online application form again and only pay for IHS. you don't have to pay for the application fee.

Me1124:
Outside the uk

Normally 12 months with additional 4 months hence the £225. Are you applying outside or within UK?

Me1124:
Welll its a one year extension.. the automated pay thing was £150 but it was meant to be 225 so 70 difference.. and yeah it was from them..

What's the duration of your course and how much did you pay? Are you sure email is from UKVI? How much are they now asking you to pay?

Me1124:
Well ukvi told me to pay more money as mine was not complete

Depends on who's requesting. Is it UKVI? Ideally when paying IHS, it calculates the exact amount of ur length of course

Me1124:
Has anyone ever been told to pay more money for IHS??

Congrats mate .. How many days did it take?

It's 28 calendar days. These guys ehnn sometimes just do whatever they feel like. We even sabi the guidance pass them

KayMagnum:
@spikesC & bourne007 thank you for your contribution.

I got a reply from the home office today and the refusal decision has been overturned. I've submitted my passport at the ikeja vac and I'm hoping to get it back sometimes next week.

I'd just like to add that i have just confirmed from a document released by the office of the Independent Chief Inspector of Borders and Immigration that the limit to get a response for administrative reviews is actually 28 calendar days and not 28 working days like that man in the previous screen shot claimed.

The title of the document is :An inspection of the Administrative Review processes introduced following the 2014 Immigration Act, and it is available online.

If your refund isn’t paid within 90 days, then you can email or call them.

fizzile:
I paid another IHS for the application that was submitted. The former application wasn't completed cos i used up my 5 chances of paying for my visa fee. That application was cancelled even after i had paid my IHS, so i had to start a new one and made a new IHS payment. So i need a refund of the initial IHS fee.
cc: Bourne007

Thought you submitted your application .. u av to wait up to 90 days before it's refunded. A refusal is almost instant

fizzile:
Bourne007 Please whats the procedure for refund?

Could take up to 90 days otherwise you will have to email/call them

Smartoes:
How do i apply for refund because i am cogitating of adding it to my cash before i apply?

You can't use it again and will have to pay another. The previously paid IHS will be refunded.

Smartoes:
Hello house,i cancellef my visa application after i had paid for my ihs.Now i want to re apply,the question now is this:Can i still use that ihs i paid for in this new application or i will need to pay for another one.House please help

How many days now? Your Uni can also chase the Home Office for you but only after 28 days. So check with ur Uni.

Go for it then

marauka:
No justwise [b]I can still change in UK and continue my studies [/b]buh when my visa expires, I would need to exit, get a new cas, pay the work placement fees and be issued a new visa just like spikec said or I can write school officially from here, get a new Cas and process a new visa to cover for the two years. Because my resumption is close, lemme get to UK and take it from there. Meanwhile I asked a question, who knows about their work placement? Is it something you can advice me to go for despite the additional cost that comes with it? Do you think I should take it or leave it?

You just need to make sure you let the school know 6 months to so new CAS can be issued. All the best

marauka:
Oh dear justwise I just love you

It's part of his course .. so yes he can

spikesC:
No he cannot

Well ... As soon as you got your CAS, you should have spotted the error and raised with your University. I thought it was on ur CAS and would have referred you to email the entry clearance amendments team. Again you said it's optional so probably that's why.

If you however decide to go for a year work placement, the University will issue you a new CAS and you will be able to extend your tier 4.

you can extend inside the UK

marauka:
No sir it wasnt stated in the Cas at all. I filled the duration when I was filling the visa application form

Wasn't the duration on your CAS?

marauka:
Hi everyone. Please I need help. I have gotten my visa for one year and four months. At the point I applied for it, I wasn't aware that my course is two years lemme explain the first year is for academics and the second year is for work placement and its optional. Now my question is this, if I wish to go for the second year which is optional, how do I get my visa extended? If its possible to do, will I need to present any bank statement to that effect? Justwise, et al please help me before I leave Nigeria.

I'm afraid your uncle cannot sponsor you unless you can prove without reasonable doubt that he is your Legal Guardian.

notjustok00:
PLS DONT IGNORE hullo everyone, i am going to uni of newcastle, i am abt to apply for my tier 4 visa to resume in 2 weeks. my uncle is sponsoring me and i want to understand what they mean by 'official court document'. i was told an affidavit wont be accepted.

From the sounds of it, your leave would have extended (Section 3C) until the appeal is no longer pending (in this case you withdrew). If you have proof, apply for an Admin review.

TrumpsWall:
I submitted an in-time application which was refused. I had the right to appeal which I did and left the country to apply for a tier 4. So yes I had a valid visa.

The fact is either way shouldn't really make any difference. If you put Naira on the left and pounds to the right, ideally you should get the same result but the problem with Oanda is that they round it up to the nearest 5 decimal places and you will definitely not get an accurate figure. Google currency converter for example is rounded up to the nearest 2 decimal places giving £0.00 in return.

Therefore best practice is to just keep the £ on the left and Naira to the right which must people have advised

MrsDaniels:
I swear u wont bliv i askd an educational agent thats a friend of mine working with British canadian intl education popularly known as (BCIE) he was saying its pounds on left and naira on left i was seriously arguing with him eh. He said no oh it has to be pounds since thats what ur to pay to d uni as tuition. I was wondern how i wud put pounds when its naira i have. God help us from this agents. Thank God i came here to rub minds beta with u guys. @olowob thanks dear.

Do the Maths na ehn bros ... (£150 x 5 years) + £75 .. what ever you get, convert to dollars and bingo!, that's what you will pay

Whatamidoinghere:
What about if it's an Undergraduate student, going for 5years course?
Just want to know in case.

Thanks

IHS is £150 for a year but when you are paying online, it comes up in dollars instead of pounds. The $301 must be the equivalent of £150 + £75 (£75 being the additional 4 months added to your visa)

WILLIAMS10:
Pls What's the correct fee for IHS..it's £150 on the site but I heard some people paid $301. Which one is the correct price pls. Thanks
