An aunt is not considered a family member but the framing of that question matters...were you asked if you have/know someone in the UK OR if you have a family in the UK?

I doubt you will be called for an interview at this time but if they do and asked about that particular issue then explain to them just as you did here

@justwise.
Thanks for the response, I really feel much better now and upbeat. You really a good man and God bless.
Lemma attach a screenshot for the framing of the question.

Babababy:
Dont think you should worry too much, just say it like it is, if asked. You have a distant aunt and you didnt think she qualified as close relative under the options you were giving.You might not be called for an interview, and if you called you might not be asked that too. Your honest answer solves the problem

@Babababy...
Much appreciate for the response. I feel upbeat now.

@Chadon007. Did you do your Biometric in Ikeja or VI

justwise:
You should have answered Yes to that question but there is nothing you can do about it now, if you got all other requirements right then i don't think you will be refused because of that single mistake

Thanks so much for the prompt response.
But for clarity, Are Aunt considered as Close Family in the UK because in the list of options, they included parents, siblings, in-laws, grandchildren and grandparents. No mention of Uncle or Aunt.
I really need to be sure if aunt Is considered in that category or not so I prepare on how to answer appropriately.
And what do you personally recommend I answer if questioned?.
Should I still insist I have no relative or not.

[quote author=justwise post=104518074][/quote]Please @justwise,
I have a very pressing question.
I have an aunt in UK who I didn't declare as Family in UK during my student visa application. Mind you I used her address as UK address for TB test but I chose my school address in my visa application and said No when asked if I will stay in another location in UK. Also, she was the one that paid for my IHS and visa fee with her card.
Now, I did my biometrics ( standard) on 27th July and got not straight forward mail on 6th Aug.
Please, as I prepare for an interview should I be called, how do you recommend I answer the question of " if I have a family in the UK".
NB: Aunt and Uncle was not among the options listed as close family in the visa application.
