Hello

Once you select assisted service it means that TLS will upload your documents and the upload section for self-service will no longer be available

I want to believe you went along with them on your biometrics

Cheers
I did not go with my documents because I did not know that I would be asked to change the time. The only available time slots I could find that afternoon was assisted service despite using self service to upload and submit my documents prior.

Chief relax!! I had a similar experience, I uploaded my documents using self service and it wasn’t until a day to biometric that I made an additional information letter to he ECO which I uploaded on my bio day. I explained to them at the TLS and they confirmed that I didn’t have to upload the ones I’ve uploaded before, I only paid the fee to upload the additional information letter. So relax you are on track.
Thanks Man. I changed my time to assisted service from self service. I didn’t pay at TLS. I paid online.

I didn’t go with my documents because I had done self service and uploaded and submitted my documents earlier. Getting there, they asked me to change my time because I had earlier chosen a super priority time :15 . So I had to choose an assisted service time so we could do our biometrics as a family.They didn’t tell me there was an issue when we did our biometrics yesterday. Someone said they wouldn’t have let me do it if there were no documents uploaded

Happened to me .. once you pay for assisted service, the upload button automatically becomes idle.

Nothing to be worried about
So, does this mean that the documents I uploaded and submitted through self service are still intact? I just used the assisted service to change the super priority time I chose initially. I didn’t use it

Hello,

No it doesn't invalidate the docs you uploaded initially.

Whatever you ask them to scan will be uploaded in addition to what you already have there.
I am concerned because I picked the assisted service online and I could no longer see the upload button after I had used the self service to upload and submit my documents.

I was there yesterday and their staff told me it was okay. Except they didn’t understand what I was saying. We already did our biometrics.

Please if I have uploaded and submitted my documents through self service and I later choose assisted service ( I did this to change the :15 time slots) without using it . Does this assisted service cancel all the other documents I had submitted earlier? Thank you

Hello everyone. 2 of my dependents were asked to change their time slots( we initially booked 10:15 and 11:15 unknowingly) and I had to buy assisted service for a letter date so that they would allow us go as a family.

My concern is that I had uploaded all their documents through self service and submitted but we didn’t use the assisted service yesterday.

I checked our applications today and I realised that while our upload button is showing and now idle since we have done biometrics. Theirs is not showing at all.

I hope this assisted service has not cancelled the documents I had uploaded and submitted prior. Please help. Thank you

Hello

If this is a study gap, then your supervisors reference letter holds no water because that is deemed personal reference not official

If he/she can use an official stamp they can use a letter head.

You worked there legitimately for 6years, you should get a reference letter from the HR/any other agency you joined with. I would insist on that.

Option A. Submit your application ,CV and references letter as it is and hope it is enough

Option B: Submit your application and CV, wait for any NSF, use that period to persuade and get a proper official reference and submit that evidence when the NSF comes

Option A can still lead to B if ECO is not satisfied

Your decision

Cheers
Thank you @duchess90. It’s for the purpose of study gap. Finished NYSC 2012 and joined the company in 2013 up until 2019. Did my MBA in between and graduated in 2016. Joined another place in 2019 ( was there for 6 months)but didn’t put it in the Cv I submitted to the school. I already have the reference of the present place I’m working (joined in 2020).

Someone told me that if she can send the reference to me with her official email. I can get it printed and stamped with whatever she wants to write on the plain paper. I’m just really confused right now.

I don't know how to correct this one o. Why will u work without employment letter?

What is the contnet of the letter she wants to write? Let her state the reason she is not using letter head and put the company phone number there, or use the letter of the place u worked fulltime only and forget about partime.
It was in 2013 and was fresh from NYSC and I resumed work. I worked there for 6 years. In between, I did my masters and graduated in 2016

She said she will only use stamp. Please advise me on what to do. I have submitted my CV to my school and I have been issued my CAS. Thank you

Good evening Nairalanders,

Please, Can someone help me with this;

1. My admission was assessed based on my masters which I finished in 2016. I had a job I was doing prior which I did during and after my masters. I do not have the employment letter.I worked from 2013- April 2019. They have agreed to give me a reference letter. My BSc was in 2011.

In the CV I submitted to the school, I stated that I did a volunteer job and another job for 3 months btw may 2019- till Jan 2019. I am unable to get references for both (they were remote jobs)

My question is can the reference letter from my recent employer suffice only? I started in feb 2020 .or should I include my CV ?

I don’t want to complicate things for myself as I also made mistakes with the dates I did the remote jobs on my cv which I submitted to my school.

Thank you so much as I anticipate your response(s)

Please can someone help with this question: is it advisable to use a MIcro fianance statement of account as POF?
Well, I know someone who used MFB for POF and was denied because no one picked the call from VO to confirm the funds. Others have used it and it worked.

Why don’t you want to use other financial institutions?

[quote author=misskit post=114414071][/quote]When I could not find my previous visa refusal and the link I tried was asking for my Uk address, I mailed them (subjectaccessrequest@homeoffice.gov.uk) explaining that I could not use the portal to request for their decision for the application I did 9 years ago. I uploaded the old passport I used then, my current passport, my change of name. They responded after 1 month with the refusal letter and the form I filled to apply then.

Please note that I used the email address I used for the application at that time.

All the best!

It is usually advisable to transact with your account like you used to. After all, it's not a blocked account.

But always ensure you don't go below the required funds and give room for fluctuations.

[quote author=bigtt76 post=114210493]1. Your POF should be 28 days old and printout not more than 31 days old during application.

2. Nothing else except if you have study gaps, you may wish to clarify on that or support it with employment letters

Good evening Gurus, please I have 2 questions to ask. Thank you for your responses

1. My POF is just a week old. Is it possible to submit my application and take my documents to TLS to scan( I don’t mind the cost) This is just to ensure that I get a date early enough for my biometrics.


2. My CAS only states my degree, WAEC result and marriage certificate. What do you think I can add to this or should I just leave it at that?

Thank you for the help as always. I look forward to reading your responses.
