You can probably go for a correction at IOM if it's possible or just apply with the passport that was used for the TB test

Thank you

Babababy:


I dont believe the delay is due passport type. A family also applied and the Kid with the US passport got his first before the rest of the family. Factors like like priority and time of processing can affect when it is issued.

Thank you!

Hi everyone, my waec result has my third name but my passport doesn’t carry my third name, will this be an issue ? Or do I need an affidavit . Please treat as urgent

Seems fine to me. Question is whether it's for the uni or UKVI. If it's UKVI, once the uni has issued a CAS with that certificate, you're good to go. If it's the uni you are worried about, send like that if they want affidavit they'll ask you and you get within 24hrs from a court.
No problems here

fificole:
Hi,

I totally get you. Sometimes, there is no responses because some has given a 'testimony' that what you ask is possible and..................very recent. Use the foreign passport as advised by IOM. It works

Thank you.
But ermmm...not recently. I'm here engaging everyday. I even continue from the time I stopped the night before. Lol. The only person that mentioned foreign passport mentioned it about a week ago in saying that he and his wife picked up but the child's foreign one was pending. It was his post that got me asking o. I even asked immediately on the back of his "testimony". No one responded. This is my 3rd ask.
Thanks a million! I'll use it like that.

Hello my people. Urgent one biko. I used foreign passport for TB test for minor. I was told at IOM that it should be the same passport as will be used for visa application. Naija passport wasn't ready but it's ready now. Which passport should I use for the visa application? I recall that someone here said he used foreign passport for minor and hadn't got the minor's passport back from UKVI even long after he (OP) and his spouse got theirs.

All inputs will be appreciated. Thanks guys

Oya o. I hardly ask questions. I do more of responding to questions. Now I have one. Make una contribute biko.

Dumebi213:
Guys, take it from someone who has also come here for the first time to ask questions that would have been answered if I had done a little reading. When you first come to this thread, read page 1, I promise you, half of your questions would be answered, this would save you the time you are using to wait for replies and also give you some insights pending answers you will receive.

I'm telling you. You'll even be advising too.

Good day gurus,
Please, I need your advice. For someone who has been denied US student visa, 3 times for 1 particular school, and who is applying for UK student Visa, can such person declare these denials when filling the UK visa form? What do you suggest/advice?
I would appreciate your assistance.
Thank you.

Yes please declare. Just have your CAS and POF and you are good to go if your previous refusals were not due to anything fraudulent

Please I have a similar question. I have offers from schools in these towns/ cities: Coventry, Bristol, Cardiff and Kent.
Leaning towards Bristol or Cardiff but I need people who know how far to help me rank the four in relation to jobs, etc since my spouse will be working FT. Thank you

if you still have time you can use this link to request for your immigration history https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/requests-for-personal-data-uk-visas-and-immigration/request-personal-information-held-by-uk-visas-and-immigration#how-to-make-a-request

Else try another school.

@Lizzyboss83
This is good o! if you still have time. However don't underestimate a properly worded email plus favour. You can even make the history request online, send the mail to the school and include evidence of the request in the email...That shows you're not hiding anything. May God guide you

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

Was a letter definitely issued? Do you have the passport with the refusal...the one with the line drawn and a handwritten number? If yes, please draft a well-worded email attaching a scan of the crossed out page bearing a reference number stating:
1. What you recall was the reason for refusal
2. That this is in the records of UKVI and therefore verifiable by them
3. That you will be declaring the refusal in your application anyway and attaching that same scanned page; which as in 2 above is something in their records, originated from them and verifiable by them.

Hope this helps

decong:
Good morning, please I need an urgent help. I have submitted my CAS application without a POF because my school didn't ask for initial deposit. I received email from CAS that I should send my previous UK visa refusal letter( visiting) which I sent on Monday. Today that I'm supposed to receive the CAS number, I received an email that I should send a POF since reason for my initial refusal was insufficient fund. my Question are
1)please can I send statement of my new acct which I just put the tuition fee to count for 29day which has just spent 2day in the account.
2) Also I have a salary account with 4m + can I add it to it please or I wait till the 28th day and send the POF to CAS?
3) On my TB test, please should I select student without scholarship ( although I am expecting feed back of the scholarship I applied for) please people advise

1&2. I'll advice you to tell them you have your funds (send salary account and POF account) but will not be applying for a visa until xx date when it has met the 28day requirement. I don't see any issue because even UKVI accepts loan with consent letter.
I just hope the POF cash was deposited before their email request came in so it doesn't look funny. I also hope they didn't specify 28day POF.

3. Student without scholarship as you don't have one at the date of your IOM test application.

Hello Justwise please my
Nigerian address on TB certificate reads streer instead of street. I hope this is not an issue. Thanks.
I’ve been able to book Aug 11for my biometric

Not an issue at all

teesmane:
Good morning fellows....we have been having difficulties booking online with IOM for tuberculosis test. The prompt always received is "error encountered...try again". This has been happening for like two weeks now. yesterday my wife was hopefully success with the booking until I realized during the course of printing the appointment that she mistakenly picked Norway as nationality. The appointment is for a family of 4. Please is there a way to change the nationality? Should we cancel bearing in mind the difficulties we had booking d appointment? Pls kindly advise.

Correct it when you go there for your AP.

IvannahG:
Hello all, Good evening. Please I’m new here, if anyone will be so kind as to walk me through the process to obtaining a Uk student visa. What are the requirements? I would greatly appreciate a response.
Thanks

Hiii. Please read page 1...and a few others. Then come back with questions

Babababy:


Just click on the dates I mentioned next time you want to travel and compare, I am actually giving a hack

Poanan:




Hmm better dont plan to fail any module. From what I saw happened on facebook, this guy had a resit and because of that, he couldn't do his research or rather he was not allowed to do his research at the time.

Now he is ready for his research but he has few months left. There is no way he can complete that research within the stipulated time. He asked for visa extension but the school turned it down saying he can do his research from his home country. Meanwhile psw issupposed to be processed before the student visa expires while still in the uk.

Obviously, once he goes back to his home country he wont get psw again.

E be tins.

Ayo200:
Thanks .....
Another Question pls !!!

I found a flight on travelstart but it’s with a stop over and just 19hours.
From Lagos to Doha ( quarter airline )
From Doha to EDI

My question: Doha (Quarter ) is among the red listed country or so, does this have an effect for the fact I’m only landed at Doha due to my stopover flight. Moreover, I’m only waiting 4hours bfr my flight from Doha to EDI.
Pls shed a lil more light.

Ah avoid redlist countries. You'll need to pay about 1750GBP for hotel quarantine.

Babababy:


You dont agree a weekday is cheaper than a Friday/sunday? I wasn't guessing at all, happens to be my forte

Please I am allowed to agree or disagree. I didn't say you were guessing. Sometimes when i travel tue is cheaper. Sometimes Wed is cheaper. Sometimes friday is cheaper. Infact I do mostly Sunday but maybe the continents i go to.
Wehdone sah @ forte.

Babababy:


Just to add, General rule of thumb when booking flights... Tuesdays and Wednesday are days you would find the cheapest tickets while Fridays and Sundays tend to be very expensive days to fly, Mondays and Thursdays follow closely on next cheap days

Hehe. I don't agree. Depends on the period.

Ayo200:

Please what flight and how can someone book flight
From Lagos to Edinburgh.
This is my first time of booking flight. Please shed light.

BA will be the most direct. Check BA...BA is British Airways, Britain's official airline...use flexible travel date option for your search and pick the cheapest.

I've been seeing people complain about high fares from Lagos to Heathrow but idk if it will be the same for Lagos to EDI. If it is high you may compare with prices on travelstart (travelstart.com) which is the only agency I have used with 0 issues so far o

I dunno if BA will let you see fare in NGN and pay with naira card or if you'll def need a dom card for it. I've had both experiences at different times.
Travelstart shows fares in NGN and will allow you use your naira card.

paddedbabe:
Please I can't seem to get an early date at Abuja IOM for TB test and have sent them emails repeatedly but I'm still asked to go back to the website, what do you advice I do?

Go to their office

eyedd:


It was printed June 29th, anyway I printed another one from June 20th till date, that should work right?

Good to go

Dubyz:
Please does anyone know universities in UK that respond fast in-terms of student application. The ones I applied for have not responded and the ones that responded said the course full for this September intake

Try Reading n Kent. They replied me within a week but this was about 3months ago and no idea if they are full too.

eyedd:
Guys, I've finally received my CAS from Bradford University.

I have a question, the statement I submitted to them was from May 29th - June 29th, can I still use this statement to apply for my VISA today? Actually, I've paid for the VISA process and my appointment date is next week Wednesday the 4th of August, but I'm hesitant to upload any documents yet until I confirm this information.

Considering the fact that the appointment is next week, or will they use the payment date to check the statement?

Please someone should clarify this for me.

I have no issue printing another statement for UKVI, but I feel as though the school and UKVI work together, and wouldn't want to send them any different statement than the one I sent to the school.

What date was it printed?

You can if it's not more than 31 days old, but priniting a new one doesn't affect anything. If you like print from that May 29 till date ....as long as the funds didn't fall below the required minimum you're good to go

Nextlevel21:
Good day everyone, please this is urgent. How possible is it for someone to print pof from outside the state where the account was opened Thanks.

As in branch, same Nigeria? No issues

sniperaz:
In other words,

1. Funds must have been in your account for AT LEAST 28 days.. ie Funds can be in your account for 28 days till infinity (they dont care). >28<infinity

2. You can only use that statement within 31 days of
2a: Closing Balance showing the funds held
2b: Statement print out.
..

[quote author=justwise post=104116295]

Again this is incorrect

Hmmm....

justwise:


This is not correct

As inn. Incorrect dey worry that post.

The rule is that these 2 must be satisfied:
1. The required funds should have been in the account(s) for at least 28 days without falling below the required amount at any time during the 28 day period. At least means minimum. So if the funds are held for longer than that, no problem.
2. The statement which should already satisfy 1. above, should not be older than 31days from the date of printing, as at the date of application.
So if you printed your statement since July 1st, it can't be used for to apply after July 31 or Aug 1(better to err on the side of caution and use Jul 31* as cut-off). In that case, you will need to print another one.

Fk1987:
Please which bank is that and what's the process?

Your bank. The commercial bank you are a customer of. Walk up to them with your return ticket and passport containing visa and make the request -you'd ordinarily fill a form to apply. They will debit your naira account and give you the cash equivalent of the currency you apply for; USD or GBP.
