hello guys,
whats the max money that can be paid at once with a bank using form A in a single transaction?

giselle237:

January is far. By January she should be minimum 5 months gone if we assume she conceived today. Except for remote roles, any other job will be stressful to her/pregnancy. The pressure from you also to get a job will make things more cumbersome so pls dnt think in this way.
Let it be that she is travelling alongside her spouse, job or no job immediately should not be a condition.
She can travel to birth there as her IHS will cover the bills while u both decide on the best time to bring the rest of your kids.

ignis:
I did my biometric on 26th July at TLS Abuja . Please is it too early to do a paid mail ?

kino47:

MA has already submitted alongside myself and biometric done I noticed some errors so I cancelled mine and rebooked new IHS and application but the problem is the date I got is far and when it’s time to make decision it may be before the date I got and the MA application is tied to mine do you get it now

Gift7428:
Uncle you are just telling me of something new that I never mentioned.
But you still didn’t help with my question

Gift7428:
Hello Duchess trust you are good.

Any implication of not submitting visa with a booked accommodation like hotel or Airbnb
Some of them won’t refund the full money after cancellations if you decide to have other plans.
I don’t even have any idea of when I will travel.
I have already uploaded and submitted.

Dependents (2)
a. Visa application 8th Jul
b. Biometric 19th Jul
c. Decision made for dependents 10th Aug
d. Movement to VAC 12th Aug
e. Collection mail 12th Aug

Tension-filled waiting period. 2 weeks after submitting biometrics MA received NSF mail to provide TB test certificate. The said certificate was the 1st document uploaded during the application (a bit concerned when it came). The immediate reply was done and an escalation mail was done 5th of August. The rest as they say is history.

Documents submitted:
a. TBT Test certificate
b. Passport Bio page
c. CV + Employment/promotion letters & reference letters (to show 14-year study gap)
d. Studies evidence
e. Marriage cert + family photos + family change of name affidavit
f. POF statement + LOE (to show the reason for 1 lump sum payment received and disbursed for an unrelated payment)

I have been a silent reader but I can say categorically that this thread and all the participants were the reason we did it ourselves against using paid agents. The confidence espoused was motivating, hence our decision to go alone, even after agreeing with an agent.
Immeasurable thanks to @justwise, @Duchess90 and so many others that made it look possible and kept the stress levels down with words of encouragement. The Lord replenish your effort.

See you there!!

Hello


What do you need your refusal letter for?

You don't need to attach a copy in your application, you just need to state an approximate month and year,and a summary of your refusal to the best of your knowledge

Cheers

NaughtyBrainiac:
Hello Duchess90 and Others,

I am currently filling online visa application for someone that will complete NYSC Next month. Please note that she is travelling with her husband.

1. For the question of where she will stay in the UK, we used the school's address.
For the question of if she will be staying elsewhere in the UK, we said No.
For the question of if any fee has been paid to the school for accommodation, we also said No (This is defendable because school will most likely have accommodation discussions after visa is granted)

My question is that, I hope the ECO will not raise further questions because we chose NO for the question of if she will be staying elsewhere in the UK?
If it would be an issue, should we consider booking a hotel or Airbnb?

2. The question of if she has worked in the Armed forces or National service.
Should we just select NO and move on since she wouldn't have completed the programme as at date of visa application?

In addition, Are ECOs particular about the NYSC thing? If they are, it is possible an ECO says he or she won't grant Visa until evidence of completion of NYSC ( Discharge Certificate) is provided.

Please share your thoughts as well as case study if any.

Thank you

Pekela:
Hello fellows

Is it necessary to submit references letter from school for minors/dependants for student visa?

Olufemiopa:
Good afternoon Seniors,

Can I upload biodata page of my expired passport with pages of stamps for my travel history as proof or I should just photocopy and take along during biometrics?

I await your advice.

Regards.

Scan and upload yourself if you selected self service. Photocopy and take along with you if you selected Assisted service.

lightofjoy:
Happy weekend, pls I requested for Introduction letter from my office but they only give me an introduction letter for a visitor's visa, when I complained they said they can only give me visitor's visa intro letter.
What's on it:
- confirmation that am a staff from xxxx years,
- my annual salary ,
- that am applying for visitor's visa for my annual vacation.

Pls can I use this for my study visa as the content is for visitor's visa. Thanks

Miyachi:

Hi @duchess90, @mimilyrics, others,

On the declaration page for a child dependent student visa (child under age 4), I chose the B option below. Is it correct?

B) I am the applicant aged under 18
C) I am the parent or legal guardian of the applicant who is aged under 18 and completing and submitting the form on their behalf

Thanks to God for being God-alone all thru this journey... Big ups to @EfosaKelly for being more than a friend. Joining this platform and then, the awaiting visa group on Telegram was a blessing, the posts shared here are so expository.

Little advise: You can do it urself, just believe in the God who you serve and read as much as u can on this platform, in your school Telegram group... . Everyone will get theirs in Jesus' precious name.
