Hello guys. Great job so far.

Pls, I have an appointment at Tls VI tomorrow by noon,

Do they stick to time at Tls or I have to be there as early as possible?

Hello

Evidence of your travel history is not needed for your student visa so there is no need to submit it during biometrics

Cheers

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.

Hello

Can you put a screenshot of the page you are having issues with

Hello

Your family can pay for you, they should quote your student ID and name in the reference section

You will have to compare exchanges rates for both

Cheers

UARBIAFRAODUA:
I want to ask if I have my family help me pay my tuition deposit from Germany using bank transfer or I have them send the money down to Nigeria so I can pay with form A. Which is going to save more cost? I mean in terms of the rate

Hello,

As long as first and last name is same and consistent,you should be fine

Cheers

Hello Duchess and other immigration gurus,

The name on my passport is Musa Ibrahim Peters. While the name on my bank statement is Musa I. Peters. I hope it won't be a problem during visa application?

Hello

I am too stunned to speak

Cheers

AlphaUno:
It’s obviously not rocket science to read to comprehend rather than reading to respond.You are just 1 in thousands of students and dependents not having issues with the list i itemised in that write up.
Rather than scroll and keep it moving when you obviously don’t have a full grasp of what’s said, you chose to be emotional.

I wish you well

Hello

Not sure of what the request is ,
Can you put a screenshot

Cheers

Champay:
Can I pay TLS VI in naira?

That 55pounds they are requesting.

Hello,

Not intentional, it has been a busy day and I can't seem to post from duchess90 acct anymore(not sure why)

Plus that is a long request and will need alot of research to come up with such a list if at all.

The only thing I am going to add is that people should try to look out for companies that have the license to sponsor skilled workers visa and keep a track or notification on their career page for adverts and apply.

Some companies may not be on the list but are willing to go through the process for the right candidate.

Here's a link; https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/register-of-licensed-sponsors-workers

One of these days I'll circle back on this

Cheers

I am worried about that 0 dependents travelling with me ish on the certificate. Only noticed when I had arrived home. @ Duchess, @Justwise, @Solatium, @Gloriyah and other gurus here, I am worried about this affecting my dependents Visa application, what do you suggest I do at this point?

Please make una answer me, my pof is maturing tomorrow and I need to apply asap.

Hello,

1. Either of them you don't need to open an email account for a 1year old

2. Does anyone depend on you?? I will assume it is a yes because you just mentioned you have a 1year old

Cheers

Question2:
Good evening House. Please I need help to these question.

Yes or No
Please, note that my daughter is travelling with us, both me and her are dependants to the main applicant (My Wife) should i tick yes or no.

Hello,

On your 5 years gap at the moment, you should submit your CV and previous work employment or reference letter to avoid NSF

Cheers

Skin90:
Hello @ dduchess90 I graduated 2017, do I need a work reference letter for visa application?

Thanks

Hello,

No it shouldn't.

Try to maintain either all 3 or 2 going forward

Cheers

Dmcool:
Good day guys. On my Degree Certificate, I only have two
names ( Surname and first name).
But in my Passport and other documents, I have 3 names
( The middle name was included).
Will this cause any issue?

Hello,

To answer your first question, No,

It's less than 5years study gap

Cheers

gtid1994:
I graduated since 2019, do I really need to provide work reference. Is there anybody going to University of Bolton or a whatsapp group for University of Bolton. Thank you

Hello,

For some reason I can't post with my other account.

Anyway, I had a quick look this is a specialist uni,my concern at the moment is that they don't seem to have the license to sponsor.

Can you clarify from your Uni first before proceeding.Here is a link to check yourself

Hello,

For now, no one knows when priority or super priority will resume, when it will TLS will put up the notifcation on their website.

Try to plan like it may not happen soon

Cheers

hadidej:
Hello House, Does anyone have any idea if priority or super priority visa application will start soon? My school sent my offer letter (A course with professional experience)since Feb but due to the pandemic offered me the same course (Just last week)but with no professional experience or wait till January. I have already planned towards September and that January isnt acceptable to me. So now they have to send me another offer letter, and then CAS etc. I feel a bit panicky because their processes seem slow to me. School resumes Sept. So my plan B is priority or super priority visa if worse comes to worst. So any one has any idea if that process(priority) might start soon? Thank you.

Hello,

The date of application is the date you submit , pay IHS /Visa fees online. Note the forex rate on that date and compare with what you have as maintenance funds

Cheers

marcDgreat:
sorry but this "date of application" is it the date you submit your application online/book online or the date you submit at the embassy.

Hello,

No one can give you a reason for refund. I will suggest you look at your schools refund policies and/or terms and conditions for such.

Hopefully, they approve it.

Cheers

Bukieinyang:
Good Day Everyone, I have paid £1000 in a university but I got another offer in another university and I have made deposit payment in this new uni and received my CAS.
My question is, please can someone tell me a valid reason to state to the university I won’t be attending again to apply for my £1000 deposit?
I need reasons that are obtainable that won’t seem flimsy and lead to denial of my refund.
Please I will appreciate your responses as I need the £1000 for other bills.
Thank you all for your response in advance.

Hello,

The embassy could still do so it depends. The problem isn't the visa to be honest, it is the school allowing him enroll when he arrives.

That's why i said the point of call would be first the school.

On my shifts during enrollment, i have seen people travel all the way to the UK, miss the last day of enrollment with no prior notification to the schoool and ultmately told to return and that if they are still remain in the country they will be classified as overstayers.

Again the school will have a dedicated team dealing with issues pertaining visa and late resumption. Reach out

Cheers

marcDgreat:
hi thanks for the response, if he asks for the late resumption max he will be given is 2 weeks visa takes 3 weeks, the account mature on the 15 hopefully thing will calm down by then, assuming earliest date he'll get is 21th, then embassy stay with the passport for 3 weeks till 9 october. by then the late resumption given on his CAS has passed.
is it possible that the embassy might still grant the visa even after the resumption date on the CAS has passed.

Hello,

Yes you have to.

Cheers

Luxiana19:
Hey guys. Please for someone that is going to study nursing and tuition for a year is about £15,000. After paying the required deposit of about £5000 to the school, do you need to have the balance of the school fees in your account reflecting alongside your living expenses for the embassy?
I.e £10,000 tuition balance and living expenses must be in your account and printed on your statement for the embassy interview?
Please I would appreciate clarification on this, thankyou

HI,

You should be able to preview it after uploading

Cheers

OluAjo:
Hello Everyone,

Please how do you successfully upload documents on the tls contact page.

It's not showing if my documents have been uploaded after I click on 'done'.

That's a money making venture. £600/GBP??

Economical would be obviously Form A .

Cheers

efueh:
Please for fees payment, is it better to pay via Form A with our naija banks or use a contact I was linked to in the UK ?
What is the Form A rate for those that used it? (i.e their GBP vs USD conversation in naira?), meanwhile the contact in UK is requesting for 600/GBP.
Which option do you think is beter off and economical? as every naira saved in this journey counts.
Thanks in advance for your responses.

Hi Hosey,

Been awhile..I think i responded to his enquiry and adviced him to request for a course change and a new CAS. COV might refuse his request to change when enrolling.

Cheers

hosey:
Follow duchess90

Manchester is pretty....

obytex12:
Hi my people hope we are all well. ... please what advice do you have for someone going to Manchester city to study? Job wise..learnt that East London is more better compare to West

Hi,

Try informing your bank that it is for your UK visa application, and insist on having all pages stamped rather than just first or last page.

Better safe than otherwise.

Cheers

PtBlank:
The last part says all the pages must be stamped, did your bank do that for you? In my experience, the banks always insist on stamping the first and last pages. Will this be a problem if only the first and last pages are stamped?

Hello,
Not sure i came as being agressive to you...i put up a link from the TLS and stand by it. You can't attend a flexi before your date of appointment, it has to be anytime ON THE DAY OF THE APPOINTMENT.

I asked for a proof of your information so we can all learn but you didn't put it up for me and others to learn. Again if you read through my comments, i try to be very modest in responding to people, if i don't have any idea or solution i simply don't respond

Cheers

Youngee34:
@dduchess and the likes.
Hope this vindicates my claims.
I said it on Sunday that walk-in flexi appointment is available.
And once you apply for it, you can go for the appointment any day before or after your appointment date.

I just had to keep quiet(because I know the right thing), as you guys almost became aggressive with the responses that ensued, forgetting that this place is just a public place to share your opinions.
Regards.

Hi,

No, it will be better if the funds are transferred to your account, you can pay your tutuion while other funds should be kept as evidence of maintenance as per the 28-30days rule

Cheers

Amandacanny:
Does it mean that my husband can't sponsor me?

Hi,(would try to answer pending when @mimilyrics is free)

1.Chances are 50/50. There are no guarantees but others have said it might be easier than those looking for a fresh booking

2. There will be a prompt message when amending your booking that no refund will be given. If you look though 2 pages behind, you'll see a screenshot of the message. So yes, you will loose the added value services of the previous booking you had.

Cheers

Sanitizer:
@mimilyrics

I want to amend my appointment date on TLScontact website, what are the chances of getting an earlier appointment? will I loose the value added services I purchased ig I succeed to get an earlier date?

Thank you

Hi,

There are 2 scenarios, 1. You apply for your visa, UK will issue a vignette on your passport which usually expires in 30days (unless it changes), in that case, if you don't meet up, you can reapply for a new vignette but you have to explain why you didn't resume studies in the first place. (and it has to be compelling not just financials or time), you might also need a new CAS or document showing your school is aware of your late resumption.

2. You don't apply for a visa, then perharps your school will reissue a new CAS with the revised start date or a document of some sort saying your late resumption was accepted.With that you can begin your visa process within the given timeframe

Hopefully your school gives more direction as this process differs

Others can add to this

Cheers

HerMoney:
I've received tremendous help and clarification here. I wanna say thank you guys. Nairalanders are the best.

Now that I'm clearer on the process, I'm still a bit concerned that I won't be able to make it in time for my welcome week, which is Sep 21 and start of lectures, which is Sep 28.

My school, Sussex University stated on their website that due to the current crisis and the unforeseen delays, they will allow students resume as late as October 16, 2020 and before that time, offer online classes.

My question now is, will UK immigration allow students entry into the country even after our start date has passed? For US, I know they refuse visas when you are applying past your start date and don't like to see students travel after this date. Is it the same for UK?

I should meet up with this Oct 16th date. I've emailed the school also with this question but while I await...

Anyone??

@Justwise responded earlier to the post i think.

The purpose of the money should be left even after you received your visa decision and used for the purpose of maintenance/paying the remaining tution fees

Cheers

HerMoney:
I have asked your first question before. So, it's advised that you leave the money in your account until you receive your visa decision.

For your second question, I'm not sure they do but another person who knows better may answer better.

Oh, was that what you meant? You got the answers already then

Cheers

adenike09:
Thanks for your reply. The GWF was requested for at the beginning of the application and it was given. Could it be that the CAS does not cover the dependants? The visa expiry date was requested for before all the dependants can pay IHS but it was not the case for the main applicant.

Hi

Check through your application again

dduchess90:
Hi,

Please double check and back trace the steps you did, ideally the number that should be requested for is the GWF******* number for the main applicant. something seems to be wrong. Check and confirm

Cheers

Shanzzy:
Okay. Thank you will double check again.
