Hello, can a man applying for visa for a master's degree submit both his and his dependants visa application at the same time? Thanks.

Yes

People who joined this thread just last year and decided to insult anybody who disagrees with them? They believed that many of us here are misleading people and that people should listen to them alone ?

Are many of you here on cheap weed or just joking? Who are the people that kept this thread running for 10yrs now?

Feel free to disagree with people and share your experience but to insult people because they disagreed with you or accuse them falsely will not be accepted here

You are really doing a good job here but sometimes you will need to let go of trolls.

Dolorsa:
I appreciate. I'm grateful to everyone who took out time to respond to my concerns.

You are welcome

Any luck bro? I managed to track my application thru app and still on stage 2 since October 22nd.

When did you biometrics?
Use the web platform through computer and check if your application has been transferred and received by VAC.

There are six stages if you use the web platform to check.

See attached below as an example:

Dolorsa:
Your write-up has been very useful to me, I must say. I will have to get my wife to write a consent letter as you have said. I don't have any property yet and I hope it won't count against me.

It wont. Your wife consent letter, family pictures and the letter of employment indicating your travel is sufficient as proof for home ties.

@Dolorsa and everyone.

Note that Oyster ticket is only used for London. If you intend to stay outside London dont write Oyster as I have written in the write-up. Instead just write "weekly bus ticket"

I noticed purplenerd has left nairaland because of cyber bullying in this place. I can't see hosey and many other influential nairalanders comments in this travel section anymore.

Enough of this bullying. Moderators need to ban some monikers who are guilty and given preferential treatment. Those people were contributing so much and they have now left.

Too bad.

Dolorsa:
Thank you. Noted every information you shared. Already submitted my application form. I wrote 70k as my monthly expenses. I'm married. Since I am submitting 4 months bank statement, do I also provide 4 months payslips ?

Yes. The salary payment in the 4 months pays lip should reflect in the 4 months bank statement too.

Dont forget to include employment letter. And also collect letter from employer stating your intent of travel showing date of travel and date of coming back to Nigeria. It should be same as written in your visa application. This will serve as home ties.

Also your wife should write a consent letter that she is aware you are travelling alone to UK that she fully supports it. Also she should include the day you are travelling to UK and the day your are coming back to Nigeria as written in your visa application. This will also serve as home ties. Including your family pictures, marriage certificate and land, car or property documents will also serve as home ties.

Good luck.

twodee75:
my wife was born in UK about 40years ago, she left UK with her parents when she was a year old, she has her British birth certificate, plz can she still clam her citizenship?

Since your wife was born before Jan 1st, 1983 in the UK,
she is automatically a British citizen.

She should apply for UK Passport.

Dolorsa:
Okay. You just allayed my fears. Thanks a lot. Also, I earn 300k, monthly expenses is 70k. My trip is for 7 days. Budget is 391k. Was able to get cheap flight (not yet paid, for 218k), hostel accommodation for 40k.. The balance is for living costs. What's your take, please?

You don't need to book any flight.

Also, your disposable income in this instance is 230k. When doubled, it is more than twice your budget. This is very good. You can also lessen your monthly expenses to 60k if it reflects in your bank statement. If not, leave it as it. It is very okay.

Converting your current budget to pounds which gives 829 pounds (oanda rate)

Now what you need is to write a succinct letter of introduction and also detail your itinerary as below
for an example:
Using Oanda conversion rate of Nov 19, 2019.

Flight (economy return) from Muritala Muhammed Lagos International Airport to London Heathrow Airport (please see attached reserved flight ticket) 218,000 naira (462 pounds)
Public transport and taxi from airport to hostel: 25 pounds
Public transport and taxi from hotel to airport when going back home: 25 pounds
Hostel Accommodation for 7 days: 40,000 naira (84.8 pounds)
Feeding: I have budgeted 20 pounds per day. For 8 days i.e including the day of departure, therefore, it is going to160 pounds.
Transportation within: I will purchase Oyster weekly bus and tram ticket for tourism (Oyster is only for London). Will love to visit museums, Buckingham Palace and other lovely sights: 21.20 pounds
Miscellaneous/Unforeseen expenses: 51 pounds

Total: 829 pounds

Include all necessary documents and illustrate your home ties and supporting documents.

Good luck.

Monthly expenses should be reduced to 45k-50k to give room for enough disposable income . Besides flight itinerary is not needed for UK visa application but you can state the cost in your cover letter when explaining your budget.

Bro. One cannot just reduce. He has to state anything as it reflects in his bank statement. I think his disposal income is ok as it is more than twice the stated budget.

justwise:
That says a lot about you.

During my student days my course started Jan and i was given 18months visa, my graduation was summer the following year and my certificate stated my graduation date and not course end date.

If your course ends Jan(yet to see course that ends in Jan) then your final project starts which will last for about 3months then your graduation.

If you start your course Jan/Feb you do have more than 4months after course ends because you have 2 summers while Sept starters have one.

https://www.herts.ac.uk/courses/aerospace-engineering

You don't have to argue on limited knowledge.

My attachment will help those who are still confused

Bro. We are actually saying the same thing o.
As you can see, the course length is 18 months. The end date is July 2021. Such students will qualify for Post study visa.

Also, in the MSc degree I obtained from University of Manchester, the course end date was what was written in my certificate. Different courses, departments and schools therefore have different requirements.

Tobexin:
different interpretation from different schools!

As frapzkid and hosey have said, if you definitely want PSW, start your course in September 2020.

If you must start Jan, choose a program with course end date at least June/July 2021 i.e from 18/19 months upwards. The end date is reflected in the CAS as course end date.

Wishing you the best.

Dolorsa:
I am going for biometrics soon. I hope to submit 4 months bank statement. First timer. Should I be worried?

No dont be. 4 months is okay provided it reflects everything written in your application.

macromyk:
hello sir
thanks allot for this platform and for your numerous assistance, May God continually bless and enrich you sir

I am very much interested in the full masters scholarship program to commence January 2020
however I have a few questions I would love you to kindly clarify

* Can I apply for the csc scholarship with my hnd result, cause I don't have pgd as backup
if yes,
*what can I use in place of my hnd certificate, because it won't be ready till late next year
thanks for your audience, would be antispating your reply.....

1. The next application for full scholarship will begin January 2020. Successful applicants will begin their program in September 2020.

2. My freind who got full scholarship had HND Distinction and PGD upper credit. However, you can try it out if u have HND

3. You can use your statement of results. However, you must have your transcripts.

Reex12:
sir effisyman here is his consult real or a scam

I dont know him o

dilodavid:
It was not paid for. The essence is just to show the cost of flight in the budget breakdown.

Ok gud.

Success2011:
[Please, airline or site did you book with? quote author=dilodavid post=83801756]Noted. I got flight at 220k, hostel accommodation @ 47k for 7 days. What amount is reasonable enough as living expenses? Trip period is next year. Thanks for your time.

You dont need to book any flight for UK Visa. This is a huge risk.

Lastbornbuns:
I mean for undergraduate.. I'm studying Economics as a course can I apply?

You can try your luck. Never say never. Try and link it your personal statement to petroleum economics

Candybright:
1) Nothing
2) just the first page of your checklist
3) No, you already submitted it and they have all that info
I hope I'm right.

Meanwhile I asked if a business person here has applied for visa without Tax clearance and was approved nobody answered me isnor good ooo.

Tks

Zoey1:
1.Residency in this Tier 4 application?
2. If you used self service then you would have uploaded all documents online.
Then only checklist and 1st page of your application is needed at TLS.
3.You don't have to upload both.

Tks

Lastbornbuns:
Pls is economics an oil and gas related field?

Choose Oil and Gas economics or Petroleum economics

@ MadameW, steel101 and all,

Please I need to know the following if you used the self service in your respective visa application:

1. Under ''Residency' what documents should one upload.
2. Do we need to bring visa application form and document cheklist to the visa application centre
if one opted for self service.
3. Do we need to upload visa application form and document checklist in the online portal? Under what document
category should one upload it.
4. If I am to upload them, do I need to append my signature in the document checklist? It states that one should not sign
until the appointment date.

Thank you.

Thanks.

Sir, I couldn't make it to China this year because I wasn't awarded. I checked my application and noticed some flaws which I think could have limited my chances like I used a medical report from a general hospital in Lagos instead of using that of the foreign physical report template. Thanks all the same boss. You've been very helpful. I'll shoot my shots again next year.

Wow. So painful.
If not because of the foreign physical report template, you should have been in China now.

The school forwarded your name to Chinese Scholarship Council (CSC) but CSC rejected your application because you did not submit
foreign physical report template.

It is very important because they dont want students with huge life threatening sickness. Also, they will pay medical insurance for you and they dont want to spend too much.

It pain me o.
