Hello

Clearing works for people who did their GCSE in the UK or as we call it WAEC/NECO in Nigeria so they can apply through UCAS

In most cases, international students will have a different process. It is better to apply through the international route if your Uni has one so your application isn’t stuck somewhere.

Cheers

Luada:
Can international student apply to university through clearing.

Hello

Incorrect

Paid mail goes to contact centre mail box not caseworker



Cheers

Knowledgeispowe:
Relax it will end in praise.

From what I heard and it work for four people now paid mail will be direct to the caseworker attending to your GWF no and hence make the decision more faster.

Do paid mail and pray come back and share testimony.

Hello guys I did a credibility interview last week and was told a decision has been made since Thursday. I have not gotten any mail from UKVI or TLS. What do you think I should do.

I am so tired

Hello

Photos are only minor evidences so it should be fine

You may have to prepare to travel without them, they can join later when they get their visa

Cheers

Amoj4682:
Dear Duchess,

Thank you for all you are doing. I am an MA and I have received my visa, I applied before my dependents. Right now my dependents have applied but we are yet to get a response and I stated in my form that we will be travelling together. I am so worried right because i realised one of my deoendents photos may notbhave been attached, now we have waited 3days and no response from UKVI. I just scared with all this responses I am seeing here. God help, please

Hello

That’s way too high

You need to double check the information you have provided.

Cheers

NioA:
Plz I need help
Am trying apply for my child’s visa
And it keeps showing that I need to pay an IHS fee of 5,551.70 USD
Is it correct plz ?

Hello

Yes the consent letter would apply for all applicants were relevant

No document can guarantee faster decision, perhaps opting for priority may help but it still isn’t a guarantee

Ensure you dot your I’s and cross your T’s appropriately

Cheers

Saintmaker01:
Good morning dduchess90,

Thanks for your help so far, sorry for bothering you too much. Please, the consent letter sample at the beginning of this page, does it apply to children under 2 years?

Also, apart from the listed lists of document(s) in ukvi site, is there any other document(s) that may help for the faster processing of the visa application?

Hello

That doesn’t make it a trend like you are trying to deduce and scare people, did you read the Op’s message in making him or her afraid?

It’s a coincidence, Dependants can arrive any time

Cheers quote author=jay123000 post=125610078]


What do you mean by scaring people, I just said my sister and the kids got similar empty NSF mail...[/quote]

Hello

The Uni didn’t split premasters and masters so all good

Good luck in your application

Cheers
[quote author=EzekielBams post=125605653][/quote]

Hello

You are correct, it’s a Yes

Cheers

Saintmaker01:
Please doing one of my children's application, I was asked, "are you relying on evidence from someone else to prove financial circumstances?

For example, on a joint bank account or a bank account in someone else's name.
I was asked to choose yes or no.

Since the pof is on my wife's name, should I choose yes for the question?

I'm applying as my wife (child mother)

Hello

You usually will get an auto response

Cheers

Shekemsheke:
Please, if one sent more additional documents as requested by Sheffieldstudentteam, must i receive any email from them acknowledging that have received or seen the documents. Must it be the case.

Hello

It simply means more time is needed

Dependants can arrive anytime, the MA needs to resume study

Cheers

SandyDandy:

Thank you for applying for a UK visa. Your visa application has been received and is under consideration. We aim to process non settlement applications within 15 working days (unless you have opted for the Priority Visa service), and settlement applications within 120 working days.

Unfortunately, the processing of your application has not been straightforward and we will be unable to decide your application within our customer service targets. We are continuing to work on your application and aim to make a decision as soon as possible.

We will write to you again if there is any change to this. Please do not attend the Visa Application Centre until you have been advised that your application has been decided and that your passport is ready for collection.

Kind Regards,

UK Decision Making Centre

Hello

Don’t scare people please

Dependants can arrive anytime, the important thing is for the MA to resume studies quickly

Cheers

jay123000:
Same situation for one of my sister.....it's like UKVI is now serving empty NSF Mail for Families dependent Visa oo...

Hello

Why do you want to know?

Simply put ECOs are either citizens or have dual nationalities

When it’s dual,you won’t be able to assess your other country’s application to avoid bias


Cheers

Thewritingnerd:
Please I have to ask, I’m very curious, are these ECOs abi is it visa officers Nigerians orrr? 🤔

Hello
You mean your wife got her CAS or are you also studying?

I assume her Uni is outside London

For maintenance she needs 1023*9
And you need 680*9

That’s approximately £15327 OANDA exchange as at today is approx £950 to 1N so you are good.please this is OANDA checks today only

If you are also studying then that’s fine, if you aren’t and you are applying as her dependant confirm from the Uni that you can apply with her because pre-masters is typically from 12weeks to 1year during her main masters study, the timeframe wouldn’t let you be her dependant

Cheers

EzekielBams:
Hello everyone,
My wife and I just got our Cas today. She is going for pre masters and afterwards masters, We have paid the full tuition for the Pre masters and we have about 20m in savings. Please is this enough pof for both of Us to apply with as nothing is stated on the Cas. Her course start on. 18 of September and ends September 2025.

Thank you all.

Hello

Do you currently have your visa?

If yes you don’t need to worry about TB certificate

Cheers

folushoAkin:
Good day everyone

I have a very urgent question. During my visa application, I stayed in a country that didn't require a TB Test. But I have now visited Nigeria and spent 3 months here. I am currently planning my trip now and preparing for the POE.

My question: Since I haven't stayed in Nigeria for 6 months, I still dont need a TB TEST right?

Hello

Each application will be done separately

Cheers

Saintmaker01:
Hello gulus,
please, I'm applying for my wife and children dependent visa, please will apply for the visas separate or is it included in my wife's visa application where they asked to add for the dependent children?

Hello

He should prepare to return home

People don’t listen

Cheers

Odemok:
Please gurus in the house. Kindly advise.
A friend has been denied visa for breaching immigration act as a student by working more than 20hrs a week.

Please kindly advise on action he should take immediately.

Hello

She should stick to her maiden name if all her documents are in that name please

Cheers

topie2sure:
Hello @duchess and other gurus in the house.

Please for a newly wedded couple, which the MA is the wife and has all her documents in her father’s name.

When filling the VISA form, she filled the name on her credentials and at the next page there’s a chance to add additional name, in which she wants to put the husband’s name as her new surname.

The question is this advisable, or she should just stick with the name on her credentials and don’t add any additional name.

And if she’s to add additional, is she required to attach newspaper publications + change of name affividavit.

Thank you, as I look forward to your advise

Hello

It can take 24hrs to 6weeks

If you don't get the refund after that please contact UKVI here

PS I am lady

Cheers

harley4:
Thanks so much sir.

How long will this take? it is more than 24hours, am yet to get refund. please I need your ideas on the action i can take

Hello

Could you post the sole custody letter you have and blur out any personal information

What else did you submit when applying for your daughter?

I'd like to see what you submitted before advising if an appeal would be sufficient or a reapplication,if you can post and cover personal information please

Cheers

Nathan89:
@ duchess90 and other good folks in the house please help with your thoughts and ideas

For proper context… I’m a divorced mother and I’m the main applicant, I submitted my divorce papers and letter of sole custody coupled with other documents for my daughter’s application…


My daughter’s application as a dependent got denied with an option of ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW…meaning I could file for an appeal…

[b]Reasons for Decision

Your application has been refused for the following reason(s):

You have applied as a dependent of a person holding a Student Route visa in the UK however, it is noted that the visa application of your Father does not hold valid leave to enter the UK. As such you do not meet the requirement as set out in paragraph 34.2 of Appendix ST of the Immigration Rules:

ST 34.2. The applicant’s parents must each be either applying at the same time as the applicant or have permission to be in the UK (other than as a visitor) unless:

(a) the parent with permission as a Student or as the partner of a Student is the sole surviving parent; or
(b) the parent with permission as a Student or as the partner of a Student has sole responsibility for the child’s upbringing; or
(c) the decision maker is satisfied that there are serious and compelling reasons to grant the child entry clearance or permission to stay with the parent who has permission as a Student or as the partner of a Student.

In considering your application, I am mindful of your age and also aware that the UKVI has a duty of care for child welfare under Section 55 of the Borders Citizenship and Immigration Act.

It is therefore imperative that I be fully satisfied with the travel, reception and care arrangements for you in the UK.

I also need to be fully satisfied that your welfare needs are still met once you arrive in the UK.

As your Father's has not applied I am not satisfied that there are any compelling or compassionate circumstances and that you meet the above and therefore refuse your application under ST 34.2.[/b][/b]

Hello

That should be a No

Cheers

dotedote:
Good morning My People
The Duchess & every other application guru in the house.
I got to this point while filling my daughter's application and a little confused on what I should opt for
Note: it's the 1st of my kids' application.
I'm here in the UK with their mom.
Applying so I could come home next month to come get them.

Hello

Are you aware that the average decision timeline is 15days?

Can I ask why you are concerned that it is at DMC on Day 11?

Emphasis on average it could be more or less

If you haven't gotten an update by Friday chase up by Monday

Cheers

iamhistreasure:
Yes standard

Hello

Yes

Consent letter 1

Cheers

Kateyjanded:
I am the MA, do I need to sign and upload the consent for the Home Office to verify application information

Hello

He probably will get same results from other centres


Cheers

victorVIC1:
Please a friend TB test result was not okay. Would it make any difference if he attempts doing the test in another center?

Hello

UKVI can verify any document you submit. Recognizing is different from verifying.

So if you use falsified documents,they will know and that can attract 10years ban when caught


Cheers

Realshima88:
Good people, please i want to know if UKVI recognizes ikeja marriage registry's certificate.

Hello

Not allowed on this platform

@Justwise please help ban


Cheers

Luada:
Can someone recommend

Hello

Is your application standard

Cheers

iamhistreasure:
Please is it normal not to have gotten any nsf and my application is still at dmc since 2nd August. I've done a paid call on friday.
@duchess90

Hello

You need to speak to a lawyer

Custody is usually part of the divorce process not seperate

A consent letter from the father will be insufficient

Cheers

Serendipity01:
Good afternoon my Nairaland family. Thank you for always. Please can a single parent guide me on how they were able to get self custody for dependent kids, especially if the divorce process has not been concluded. While considering the fact that the person has from now to December to take the kids because of the new law and will a consent letter from their dad enough?
Please advise. Thank you

Hello @yaya

Did you raise a complaint like I asked you to?

When was the last time you chased for an update?

Cheers

Hello

If you don’t receive a refusal mail in 24hrs then it most likely means so

Look out for a collection mail, trackers can be delayed in getting updated

Cheers

Udelicate:
@duchess90, Hi, good evening. Please, I did a paid call today and I was told my application has been decided. However, my tracker is still showing 'received at DMC'. Could this mean my application is successful?

Hello

If you don’t state it and the ECO finds out , that may influence decision making as you have misrepresented yourself and will risk a refusal

There’s nothing wrong in having a family in the UK, state so if you do

Cheers

Gracious11111:
Please all, is there any risk stating that I have a relative in the UK? Does it influence decision making?

Please this is urgent. Thanks
