Hello

Do you have a complaint?

There are no implications on your application

If it is a valid complaint you will be advised on the outcome after investigation, if it isn’t a valid one then you will get a generic response

Hello people of Great minds

Thank you

Hello

Explore your bank to see how they can assist in paying, I don’t know if the restrictions on Form A has been lifted

I only know nairaland not WhatsApp or telegram

Cheers

Thanks dduchess90

The program starts January so I am trying to be as cautious as possible in my preparations to avoid another deferment.
The next step is paying the tuition deposit.
Kindly advise proper ways for making such payment considering the current fx

Kindly help with the WhatsApp or Telegram group as well

Hello

Yes you can

Or if you haven’t done your biometrics, do a cover letter and upload it at TLS

Cheers

Hello dduchess90

Please 🙏 help someone made a mistake on his email address while applying now he has no means of receiving messages for his application can he change it via paid call or paid email

Hello

Whilst it is possible to do a second masters you have to be ready to show academic progression

You will go through the same process of getting a CAS and paying IHS. You won’t need to show evidence of maintenance because you have lived in the Uk for 12months

Cheers

Another question for everybody. Can I start another MSC on a student visa?

Let's say I have like 1 year left on my VISA, Can I start another masters programme? Will the school process another visa for me for the duration of the program?

Hello

You haven’t asked any question

Be specific so people can respond

Cheers

Oluwatitamilore:
Hello everyone

I am new to the japa system and was directed here by a friend.

I recently received an offer of admission to study CS at Northumbria University starting January. Any helpful info will be greatly appreciated.

Is there a whatsapp or telegram group with the same purpose as this forum?

Hello

I am not sure I understand your question


Cheers

Born2conquer:

Number 2, like we shouldn't touch our POF during the application period?

Hello

If you have collected his BRP then report the error using the link

Hello everyone!
Please, I applied for my son under the Skilled Worker visa within the Uk, which the application was successful but the expiry date is different from mine, the main applicant. My son's expiry date is 16 August 2025 while mine is 05 November 2026. Please how do I rectify it as my son should have the same date as me the main applicant which is 05 November 2026. Thank you!

Hello

Do you have an update now?

You might need to contact your Uni to explore the options available for you

Cheers

Bolaadeogun:

This case is similar to mine
Visa application: 9th of October
Biometrics : 13th October
Mail received for additional documents: 29th October
Additional documents provided: 30th October
Made 2 escalation emails and 2 paid calls. Was told it has been escalated
School resumes : 9th November and there is no room for extension

Please what can I do. They can only defer my admission if visa doesn’t come out before 9th of November. Please who can advise on what to do. I was waiting for my visa to be approved before applying for my dependents
If school differs, will I still be able to apply for my dependents or what can I do . Also will I have to give the embassy another CAS

Hello

Your evidence of maintenance should be in your account for minimum of 28days before paying for your IHS and visa

2. Your POF should not be running, it is for your study in the UK, any other arrangement is deceit and will lead to a 10year ban when caught

Cheers

Osadeba1:
Another quick question,- 'I hope there is nothing wrong, submitting your visa application, by paying IHS and visa fee, while your POF is still running? I mean filling of application form and paying all the necessary fees

Hello

Backlog situation

If you have raised a complaint and chased the with the contact centre then that’s really all you can do at the moment

Don’t worry too much, if your employers are asking for share code show them evidence of your application and use the employer’s check link someone put here for you

Cheers

Dear people of God ,

Please,I need your input on how to contact the Home Office for an application within the UK on my situation.

My family and I applied to switch to a Tier 2 visa since August. My wife, who is the main applicant, got her visa early in October, while i and the children's visas are still not yet out. This is the 11th week of these applications. i am really worried because our Tier 4 had already expired in late October.

I have successfully completed my MSc, and i am supposed to start working full time now, but this delay is not helping as most of the work i demanding my share code.

I have called the HO, they only told me to send mail to the complaint, which I did two weeks ago. Still no feedback yet. This is really frustrating; what else can i do to address this? Has anyone experienced this before? I need the best advice, please. I am tired of checking my email.

Hello

Other departments can sponsor

HO can’t

What list are you looking at, can you screenshot were you saw HO in the list??

Cheers

Poanan:


They are on the list though just like one dept of energy they sponsor but it depends on the campaign. For the ones won't sponsor they state it.

Hello

Another Govt department perhaps

HO is quite strict on SCs

I don’t know how transferring SCs from one department to another like HO will work, it might be easy like you say it is

Anyway….moving on

Cheers

dupyshoo:
Nope, another govt department. However, once you get SC clearance with any other government dept, it can easily be transferred to HO.

Hello

With HO?

Cheers

dupyshoo:
I know of people with less than 1 year of UK residency that got SC clearance though. For someone, it was 4 months of residency on dependant visa

Hello

I’ll add to this

Foot print = Residency

Again teams will differ but most would require that you have right to remain and no restrictions to work

Plus security clearance will require 3years for CTC clearance,5years for SC and 10years for DV

Interestingly HO can’t sponsor Tier 2/Skilled workers visa

Cheers

bigtt76:
Wow ...what do you mean by footprint? Mind sharing some insight on this?

Hello

SEO or any other grade 5 or 6 role in HO is no joke

In some teams you definitely will need to have your ILR before attempting to apply

Cheers

Poanan:

Please avoid home office if you are not up to 3years or 5years in the UK depending on the type of clearance needed. I got an offer for SEO role and the offer was later withdrawn because of not having enough footprints in the UK. This even after sending references o. You can imagine the heartbreak. People should apply to other departments.

Hello

People on ILRs will qualify

Cheers

Thewritingnerd:
Heard they don’t recruit non-citizens 👀

Pls do they check hotel reservation at the point of entry in Uk for Vacation?

Hello

For a short course of 6months you will need to apply for a visit visa not study visa, you do not need maintenance or IHS funds

Check the general UK visa thread and see examples of documents you will need to provide for a visit visa

Cheers
quote author=pilotjenny post=126799633]Good morning all.
Please help in answering a question.
So for a course of 6months,am i showing 9 months maintenance fee for POF? .[/quote]

Hello

This sort of question is not allowed

Your PoF is for your study in the UK

Any other arrangement is full on deceit and will attract a 10year ban when caught

Besides you can read other threads of people who also lied to UKvI about having the required funds and are currently struggling

If you can’t afford to study at the moment , take your time and plan.UK isn’t going anywhere.

Cheers

Cheers

pharrel1539:
Thanks for your prompt reply I have escalated for the second time today although I am for janaury 2024 intake.

Hello

I assume you applied as standard

It could be anything tbh

From backlogs of pending applications to verifying the authenticity of the documents you submitted

Keep chasing and keep your uni informed please

Cheers

pharrel1539:

What's might b the possible draw back although I had two usa refusal and I used two banks for pof.

Hello

Cheers

Ali001:


What do you think I should do now and how long does it take to issue a CAS, I filled the pre cas check list on Monday and got a mail that the school UKVI compliance team are reviewing my form.

Hello

You are still bound by the conditions of your study visa despite finishing your studies and part of it includes not being self employed


Cheers

Hello guys,

Please I am currently on a student visa but I am done with my program already.

I want to know i can open a business account and receive payment via umbrella system of payment as a student that has completed his studies but still on a student visa. Has anyone done this before??

Please I’d appreciate your feedback.

Hello

Please use the end date on your BRP

Cheers

famolino:
Hello guys
Quick one please.
I'm trying to start a visa application for my wife (dependant), I got stuck where they requested for Start date and End date for my study. My end date is passed (6th of October, 2023) and on putting that date, it shows "Enter a date that is in the future". but my visa is valid till February 2024. Meaning I have about 3months left.
Will I still be able to continue with the application?
@dduchess your input will be appreciated.
Thank you.

Hello

What course is this?

I believe in Nigeria, the documents may be

Data barring service=PCC
Occupational health assessment=Fitness report

Raise this with your Uni to confirm if those documents apply to you as an international student

Cheers

Born2conquer:
Hello guys, I've been given a conditional offer but I was asked to submit a "Satisfactory Enhanced Disclosure & Barring Service check, Occupational Health Assessment and reference"

I really do not know what this means

Hello

Ideally it shouldn’t

When apply for your visa please declare both dates in the relevant section even though it is same reason

Cheers

Ali001:
Hello Duchess,CashMadam and other gurus

I recently just filled my university of Plymouth pre cas check list and I declared that I’ve been refused a US visa in 2017, Although it was 2 refusals in 2 weeks but I only filled for one refusal because it was for the same general 214b reason. I hope it won’t affect me from getting my CAS.

Hello

Dependants visa will have to be standard

They can arrive anytime

Cheers
