At last God did it, I got my visa[quote author=Ray7878 post=111428969]

Boss honestly I doubt there is a way around this. Your biometrics is linked to another name! Not sure if there is a way back from that. It’s great that you are being truthful and maybe that is the only way forward, by applying and telling them exactly what had happened in the past, the ECO might like your honesty.

Maybe there are some posters who might have experience of someone who had been in your shoes, I would like to know how they went about it too.

Maybe another country would be an option for your course/studies? Hope you haven’t paid for the course yet.

Anyways good luck. And I hope this is a lesson for younger people who are seeking a quick get out and listening to wrong advice, we all make mistakes when we are younger. [/q

Visa Alert!!!!!
Indeed what God cannot do doesn't exist.

I thought I had lost it all, at the end God perfected it.

Got my visa in 5days, standard application

Biometric 31st October
brp mail dropped 4th November
CAS used mail 6th November
Collection mail 7th mail

After biometric, I keyed into nsppd, the prophetic declaration for Thursday morning was that any approval you are waiting for. Just believe it's done. I prayed and prayed and prayed, God Almighty came through for me.

See you all in youkay

God bless you all. All the best to those that seeking for their student visas.

How old were you when the application with someone else's details was made? Whom made the application? It's a 50/50 situation even though you've obviously spent out the ban that this situation usually attracts. If you end up applying, be 100% truthful about the refusal and the situation around it. Also ensure that all your docs/information are genuine, in line with UKVI student visa rules and can hold up under the most stringent scrutiny. You might or might not get it.
But 1st, you need to get a school to assign you CAS before your visa application- that will be a uphill task with many schools due to the circumstances surrounding your previous refusal.

I was 26 years old in 2008 when I was advised to use the fake name which is linked to my biometrics. However,I have since rectify the same issue which was also connected to my international passport, when applying for my international passport with my real names. I wish to be transparent and honest with truth when applying again. As it stands now, I am applying for a masters degree at the University of derby, a secondary school friend of mine is a professor in the institution and advised me to apply.

How do go about this with my finger print biometrics linked with another name totally different from my real names, pls note I was naive then and misled to apply with another person's details but with my own finger print 14 years ago.

In 2008 after the introduction of the E-passport in 2008 I was misled and deceived and was made to applied for a visiting visa again, this time around not with my real names and my biometrics was taken at UK Visa application center, at the end the visa was denied. Right now I want to genuinely seeking a study visa to do a postgraduate masters in social work in United kingdom. Pls, I need to know what are the necessary things to do in order to be transparent to clarify this. Thanks in anticipation.

I studied Civil engineering. and which progressive career course would be suitable to pursue even if I may not be able to secure masters in Civil because of my CGPA please HELP! HELP!HELP!
most universities in the u.s and Canada international admission cgpa scale is 3.00, so you are very qualified to apply for an Msc program. In some cases u are asked to write a one of the standardized exams like the GRE test.

Thanks for your response, what I was actually asking is how did you process your transcript at exams and Record in Uniben, cost and timeline.

Thanks
oh k, its don online, just go to the business centers around exams and records, they will apply online for you, and the transcript application fee is 35,000. Make sure you must have been done with the WES registration and a WES reference number must have been assigned to you b4 proceeding to for the online transcript application.
The time duration varies, if it's your first time of applying for a transcript from uniben it's normally takes 2 to 3months, but if you have collected transcript before now it means your records will be readily available at exams & records and by this means your transcripts should be sent to WES in less than 1month max.

So shoot your shot dear, u are good to go. I recommend Salem State University. Good luck

How did you go about the Transcript processing in Uniben Chief?
first of all register with your email with WES and pay with your Dollar MasterCard then reference number will be generated for you. Take that reference number and attach it with the transcript that's to be sent to WES.

Good afternoon Champs. Pls is any body here that applied to Salem state University for the fall 2022 session commencing in Sept? If yes has any of you received admission letter and I-20?
As I have applied and all application documents submitted, I have even been contacted by the school if I am interested for the graduate assistantship role of which I have indicated interest with the personal statement and resume I submitted.
My fear is that when will a decision for my admission be met, I feel there is limited time especially with hiccups of getting appointment date for interview at the embassy.
Pls I need your candid answers.

Funding: $30,000

VO: Who is your sponsor?
ME: My uncle ***** he has been my guardian since i was 3. He owns an electrical cable and wire manufacturing company that has been in existence for the past 44 years and has over 50 staffs in his employment. He also owns a LPG distribution company.

ME: Yes, but my school has notified me of an introductory course commencing in July.

VO: But your start date is August 1st.
ME: Yes
