Hi Wonderful people of Nairaland,
Please this is not a student visa issue but I would appreciate all your advice.

A student (Nigerian)from Cyprus whose family live in the UK wants to come write her Nursing Exam.She had a previous ban from Canada 5 years ago (caused by an agent who used fake POF)which expired this year September.She made a UK student application(she declared her ban to UKVI) in July this year which was refused by October on the grounds that due to her interview they doubt her credibility as a student.Now she wants to come to write her OSCE but will definitely return back to Cyprus.What bank statement is best to use and how many months old should it be please?


The POF(in Naira)she currently has is one she started doing from October in the hope that she would look for January admission but she no longer wants to do school route again because all her previous nursing exams are counting(they have two years validity and a year is already gone out of it).

OSCE IS THE FINAL STAGE.

N:B:She is currently a MSc Nursing student in Cyprus

Your advice would be highly appreciated.Thank you

Hello everyone,
Please,I would really appreciate feedbacks as this could help lighten the mood of someone who is currently down.She applied for visa since July 23 ,enrolled date has passed(Sept 30).School already asked her to cancel her application since she could not come in by deadline.All along,repeated calls and paid mails was made to UKVI,still she was just told 'decision has been made' nothing else.Only for UKVI to send a decision mail just yesterday with a visa refusal saying they doubt her being a genuine student,meanwhile this is someone who just finished nursing and coming in for MSc Advanced nursing practice.The letter says her interview answer were generic and vague.In regards to the interview,she only saw the interview invite in her mail(spam) a night before the d-day so there was little time for her to prepare well for it.

Now the thing is she wants to reapply for January(same uni and same course).Please, who can help with all the possible questions that she might get asked in case an interview is asked for.

Your individual inputs would be highly appreciated please.Thanks

Hello Cashmadam and others. Thanks for the encouragement.
I have been talking to the school, they havent budged yet, but we are still pleading and putting pressure.

Please can anyone advice on how one can pick up a passport from TLS (even though I paid for Courier) I feel courier will take a few days, so I want to go to go and pick up from TLS myself and save some time.

anyone with a telephone number?


Ma,I asked the last time if this school you were talking about was GCU ?Please,say.
TravelRe: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered Part 9 by Debbiebest: 3:25pm On Oct 09, 2023
Cashmadam:
Congratulations! Inform your school immediately if you haven't done that already. Follow up with a phone call first thing tomorrow morning. Ensure you explain your situation in great detail.

In the meantime, check your email often and be ready to pick up your passport as soon as it is ready for pick up. Also, check for tickets and be ready to pay for one and travel.


Can someone

Push as much as you can with your school. They can be quite strict but God is able and He will come through for you.

Keep us informed. Good luck!
Please,if anyone has GCU(caledonian scotland branch) whatsapp group,please share it here.Thanks

If you are positive that 9 October is the last date, I advise you to cancel. You should get your IHS refund after some time. Once your visa is approved, getting them to cancel your visa and refund you may be trickier.
When do you think it's best to cancel,today or by the end of tomorrow?Just asking

I still believe what God can not do does not exist!! AMEN!

Hello `@dduchess90 and others.

Please I need a little advice on what to do.

school has given till 9th October (next Monday) as final date for enrolment. The clearly stated that there will be no extension.

I have called, I have escalated by mail etc. Nothing positive yet.




Please what do I do?

Do i cancel and withdraw the application?

If I dont cancel, (and visa comes out but I am unable to travel) will I still be able to get a refund of IHS and Application fee? (because as it is, it is very very unlikely that I will make it).

Please advice
@dduchness90 please kindly say something on this.

Yes. That's what it looks like.
Thanks very much for your reply.Also,I want to ask:
In what cases do they issue empty nsf?
In all cases,is it always followed by an interview?
If no interview was requested after an empty nsf,how soon will the visa be issued after the nsf?

Please can someone explain what an empty NSF looks like


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.


Is this an example of an empty nsf?

We have a similar situation. I had my biometrics on the 14th. I have done several paid calls and mails but the response was always, it is been considered and awaiting decision. But yesterday 26th September they said decision have been made but I have not received any received mail from UKVI. The major issue now is that my school, Cardiff metropolitan University is saying I should be in Cardiff tomorrow 28th. Who know whether TLS works on public holidays.

Do you own property in home country? (Answer to this is I don't own any properties except my parents own and I am their first child)

What are your post-study plans?

Hello

You will need a TB test if you lived in Russia, if you are applying from there then do your TB there, if you are applying from Nigeria then do your TB in Nigeria

2.You should reprint your up to date bank statement

3. If the statement from the mortgage bank is a savings or current account and the bank is regulated by the CBN that should be fine

4.Please declare your family in the UK
