Hello people. I really need help with my International Passport. British Council did not allow me take my IELTS because of some features on my passport they were not comfortable with. There are some circles at the top top of the passport that are 12 on my passport but should be 6 according to them. Also coat of arm is showing twice. The small coat of arms at the bottom are also 12 instead of 6. I have been to the immigration office. They read the passport with their machine and my details popped up. They insist there is nothing wrong with the passport. BC insist they won't accept it. I learnt from someone that I couldn't apply for another passport until it expires. My ECA is due to arrive on July 31. IELTS is my problem now. I sent a mail to Servicom but no response after about one month. I had to call several times before I could reach them. They suggested that the passport was not properly activated. I went back to Immigration office in but their systems are down. But i doubt its an activation problem. Every other passport there that were yet to be activated did not have the same features as mine. Please if you've heard of a situation like this before, kindly advise on a way out.

Declare your passport missing and get a Police report. Then use the Police report and apply for a new passport with the photocopy of the data page of the 'missing' one.

Congrats!

2nd approval with no SOP in 24 hrs. I hope those of us that believe in our "fire-proof" SOP are watching.

SOP is optional. So it is not a big deal if someone's application is approved without it.

A lot of people here are misusing SOP.

SOP can only be used when the applicant has an explanation to make to the VO with regards to his/her application.

For instance, if you sold a land and want to use the money as POF. You need to explain with SOP the lump sum in your acct despite submitting the land docs. If you've a gap in your education, SOP can rescue you on that. You need SOP to explain previous visa denial and how you've addressed the concerns raised.

Dont expect the VO to understand your application when you know that there is little explanation needed. Do that with SOP.

Best of luck.

Asking for my sister, as a married lady. Its advicable to use the name on your certificate for wes evaluation or use the husband's surname even when she has not done newspaper publication

Use the name on the passport. That is your means of identification.

So, these people did not only go to I and hubby's LinkedIn profile, they checked my our Facebook as well, checked out our wedding portfolio pics online (the one done by the photographer), checked my UK school graduation ceremony announcement that showed an online copy of the brochure showing names of graduands, online copy of church bulletin showing church dedication announcement for my son. Whew! These people checked everything. How did I know?
The links were listed right there on the GCMS notes I just received last night. Heading on the notes: Online Presence: Yes.

London is not joking. Long story cut short, clean up your online profile my people.

Have a blessed day.

Hello guys, I faxed my statement of result to WES last week while my school sent my transcript through DHL. WES just sent me a mail today that they are yet to receive my degree certificate but they have accepted my transcript. please what do I do, I jst faxed them my statement of result again.

Does this mean I have to go through DHL?

No need for DHL.
If you faxed your doc correctly with WES Ref no, it takes about 48hrs for them to acknowledge it and update your acct.
