Hello

It should be fine

My second point was a generic advice to keep things updated as much as possible when you can

A habit you need to learn when you arrive the UK

Cheers

moshuur:
ma'am...ur response (second sentence) made my mind to be at peace.

but ur last sentence made me worry again.

I actually have d same issue with my address.

I can use it that way ...right?

it's a minor difference and that should not be an issue...right?

(close,/community/street//road)

Hello


Not a problem

Cheers

Abbey248:
The correct address is a close on the utility
bill but i have used street on IOM certificate which was a mistake hope this won't be a problem

Hello

I wouldn't click on that

Ignore the email, it looks clearly like a phishing mail

Hopefully people are on the look out for things like this

Cheers

Hi Duchess,
Below is the sender's email

Hello

The ECO naturally wouldn't be concerned about your renumeration unless there are other reasons to flag it up

Besides people save for years to embark on their master's degree, which may or may not be your case.

If requested,you can provide your appointment letter, your payslips and a cover letter explaining how you have saved for your study.

I doubt this would happen though, don't worry too much

Cheers

oladeyle:
Hello gurus kindly clarify this: urgent response

Is the ECO concerned about the remuneration on my offer letters if it doesn't commensurate with my POF. The average is around 130k as the offers show the gross and net salary. How do I go about it?

Hello

Yes you can

Updating addresses in the bank should be straightforward once you provide an evidence to show you reside in that premises, usually utility bill.

Try to do so when you can

Cheers

Abbey248:
Hello house, if my address on my bank statement is no 52 Naira close, and on other documents it state no 52 Naira street, can I still use it that way?

Hello

That looks odd

Can you act like you are replying the email and screenshot the address??

Cheers

FavourEmilokan:
Hello House,
Has anyone else experienced this. I tried to book an appointment with IOM and after i entered my email, There is a warning telling me that the email sent to me from IOM is suspicious. I have attached a screen shot. Should i go ahead and book?

Hello @KPGlobal

I believe there is a space for advert placement on Nairaland

Besides we don't encourage agents on this thread

Cheers

Hello

Have you reached out to the Uni to get an update?

Cheers

dydx2020:
Hello Guys, I applied to University of Hull since early June. I've not gotten any formal response from the school till date. What can be done. Please kindly advise.

Hello

Not intentional,I may have missed it

Quick question your position as a director was that a full-time job and did you earn salaries from it?

Would it be right to say that it seems you only registered your company but never really kicked off so you weren't self employed as such

I would advice you include your NYSC and your employment letter as a director to the limited liability company to cover your study gaps.

It's okay if a year (2013-2014) is not accounted for as long as majority of the study gaps are

Cheers

duncanmighty:
Hello Duchess, dunno why you ignored all my previous queries but its fine.. now id like to ask a question similar to what you just addressed here. I graduated from uni in the year 2006. Served fatherland between 2008 and 2009. Registered a business name in 2013 as self employed( though its been inactive and no tax) but became one of the directors of a limited liability company registered since year 2014 , active on cac and we pay taxes. In order for a straight forward application do i stick only to the limited compan by submitting all the documents related to that while I ignore the business name which is inactive an d have no tax document to present for it?
I wanted to consider adding it alongside to cover up study gaps between 2013-2014. .thanks as i await your advise.

Hello

The document you provided doesn't show that your business pays taxes unfortunately

I am not sure of what stage of business you refer to

Falsifying a document will lead to a minimum 10year ban

Anyway, submit what you have, if the ECO is satisfied then fine, if not you wil get a not straightforward mail(NSF mail) requesting for additional documents


Cheers

Globalshaper:
Thank you very much for your response.

I am not sure I can get a Tax Clearance because of the stage of the business, using a falsified documents is definitely not an option.

Will a Tax Identification Number letter suffice, please?

Please Find sample attached

Hello

The average decision wait time for dependant visa application is 3weeks (15working days)

It could be more or less


Cheers

Daveheart:
Applying as a dependent
Did my capturing on the 4th of July at TLS.
Please how many days will it take before I get a notification on the decision and possible pick up

Hello

I don't understand the question about POF counting?

You should have met the minimum 28days criteria before submitting the financial documents to your Uni

2. There are approved TB test centres

Here's a link to them

https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/tuberculosis-test-for-a-uk-visa-clinics-in-nigeria/tuberculosis-testing-in-nigeria


Cheers

charles12745:
Hello,

Please after filling the CAS checklist on the 28th of June, will my POF start counting despite not filling those other things?
Also, I saw that TB test is necessary, is it good to apply for it now ? Which hospital is better?

Hello

You can reapply

2 Your records will be on the system, check the data protection during your application to know how long your information will be held.It is typically within 5years

Cheers

Happiness09:
If a University had denied you CAS. Are you allowed to reapply again to the same University? Is there a way for them to know that you had applied before?

Hello

If it is stated in your CAS then Yes

Cheers

daomi:
Good evening house can I use student transcript for visa application

Hello

If you need to show evidence of study gaps as being self employed

1.You should submit CAC and Tax clearance

2. Ensure your business is active on CAC

3.You may include other additional documents if you have i.e company profile, invoice of sales
or services rendered , photographs etc (These are very optional,do not include anything that will complicate your application)

If you can satisfy 1&2 above then you are good to go

Cheers

Fadd2:
Goodevening all,

Plesse for those that are business owners and you've applied and gotten visa, please what are the documents you submitted.

Also, how can a business owner make his application straightforward without complications

Please I need it as a guide to finalize my document review

To all gurus in the house your opinion is well appreciated too

@duchess@mimilyrics@justwise

Hello

Appointments like this is best to go early

An hr before your timeslot perharps,?

Others can respond

Cheers

Atunrayo:
Hi please, does anyone have info on this?
Please!

Thank you🙏

Hello

Authenticity of a student is done at various stages

1. Unis' in the UK also requires a strong SOP where home ties may be reflected

2. Also virtual interview are conducted randomly to check how genuine the applicant is

Conversations like home ties and career progression are addressed in those instances

There is no standalone proof of home ties,it's all embedded

Cheers

Globalshaper:
Hello Nairaland family,


Please, do we need to proof home ties for UK student visa?


It just dawned on me that there is no much noise about proofing home-ties in the UK student visa application communities.


Unlike countries like Canada and Australia where it’s a must and you have to even write a strong SOP.


Kindly advise

Hello

Regarding accommodation select No

2. The question on finance has nothing to do with maintenance funds,it is a generic question to know if anyone depends on you financially.. select appropriately


Cheers

ericadianas:
Thanks a lot for your response!

Please I have more questions:

1. Please after adding the school's address to where MA will be staying in the UK, this question was asked. (Image attached)

Accommodation isn't yet secured. Should "No" be selected?

2. For the second image for people financially dependent on you, what should the MA select as his maintenance fee is in the dependant's account?

Thank you so much.

Hello

Your spouse can sponsor your study.

Ignore the information and proceed with your application

Cheers

ericadianas:
Hello Everyone,

Please I need help here.

This is for the MA Application. However, the fund is held in the dependant account. What does the MA choose in this option? There are only options for Parents/Legal Guardian.

Thanks a lot.
@duchess90

Hello

Congratulations

I didn't know you did a virtual interview, I may have missed it on the thread.

Super excited for you

Cheers

Visa Alert🎺🎺🎺

Firstly, I'll like to thank God and also thank my Nairaland family, BRP mail dropped this morning after empty NSF, paid calls, paid Mail and virtual interview. I want to thank everyone especially Duchess 08, Ebimone, Olaniyan and everyone that reached out to encourage me.

Biometrics was 2nd of June. I use myself as a point of contact to everyone waiting, your visa will come speedily in Jesus Mighty name.

Hello

What is your definition of misbehave??

Cheers

Chrisomila:
If I am in UK and I bring my wife in as a dependent and she misbehave can I divorce her ?

Hello

Since you have paid more tuition deposit then you should have your CAS updated

You don't need to start all over, submit your tuition payment receipt from your Uni for the sum you have paid to match what was withdrawn

Submit an updated CAS to reflect this if it is available, if it isn't that's fine,CAS is an electronic document so it can be updated for the ECO to see

Cheers

Mskarms001:
Hello everyone, pls help!

I started running pof on 29th June but I also had part of my tuition deposit in the account so I pulled out the money today, the balance in the account is enough for POF but I was told to start counting all over from today.
On the transfer slip, I wrote that it's part of my tuition deposit.

Will there be consequences if I leave it or I should start from today?

Hello

Please follow what the portal (IHS calculator) showed you and not your friend

Cheers

awesinic:
I hope someone could shed more light on this exact money to be paid. the required equivalents i checked on the student visa uk portal is £705 pounds but a friend of mine is saying something else.

Hello

It starts to get tricky when a different currency is used and you have to refer to conversion rates

Option 1: pay the balance, get your visa and seek refund by providing the relevant evidence of overpayment with this NSF, previous payment and additional amount paid


Option 2: Challenge the figures by providing exchange rates on the day the payment was made and evidence of payment made.


I would prefer option 1 but it's entirely your decision.

Cheers

spiceechic:
Thanks for your swift response, however, as per my explanation, he paid the required equivalent of £705 for a 1 yr course.... The additional payment should not even arise as it is... That would be over paying for IHS.

Hello

Empty NSF is not a death sentence

Look out to see if any additional documents or an interview is requested from you

Most important,be patient

Cheers

bukkytoyin:
Please who received empty nsf and have gotten Visa..
I can’t think straight again

Hello

He should click on the link and makethe payment

Screenshot it or download the info and respond to the NSF apologising for the error and confirming the balance has been paid


Cheers

spiceechic:
@duchess @mimilyrics and other gurus

PLS ASSIST

My friend just received NSF saying he should make an additional payment for his IHS... For a 1yr course.. He paid $932 and they're requesting and additional $310. He's to respond before the 16th of July.. please what can he do to solve this ohhh??

Attached is the NSF mail and his course start and end dates filled on his visa application form.

How do we go about this pls?

Hello

I had responded already

As long as everyone arrives before their visa vignette expires,it should be fine

Cheers

Hello
I note you mentioned quick marriage so at the moment you have a partner not a spouse

How long have you known your partner?

Anyone can get married and apply for their spouse on or before December 2023, the onus is on you to show enough evidence, expect alot of scrutiny on her application


2. You asked how, it is the usual spouse dependant visa category.Here's the link

https://www.gov.uk/student-visa/family-members

Cheers

ugwukcee:
Hello all,
@duchess90, when I applied for my visa, I indicated I had no one depending on me for financial support. Now I want to bring a spouse along, do a quick marriage and bring her before December. Is this going to be possible? If yes, how do I go about it?
Pls not that I received my visa on May and preparing for September studies.
Thanks.

Hello

What is clear is that there are no dependants by Jan 2024

Discussions about graduate visa is still ongoing

Cheers

adeblow:
Good morning house.
Please for those going in January, does it mean they don't have access to the post study work visa? Or is it just the dependants that aren't allowed?
Please I'll anticipate a response.

Hello

As long as everyone arrives before their visa vignette expires,it should be fine

Cheers

Keemy88:
Gurus in the house I need your advise.

After getting student visa for myself and 3 dependants, is it compulsory we all come into UK on the same flight?

I was wondering if I can to UK in September and get an apartment while hubby and the kids come in October.

I am worried because I answered YES on my visa application form that my dependents will be travelling together with me.

Please advise me.

Hello

Restart your count

Pay your visa and IHS when you have met the minimum 28 days criteria

If the exchange rates increases again,consider paying more tuition

Cheers

osagiemma:
Please if I decide to add days does it require any penalty because mine I started counting mine on the 30th June but due to the pounds fluctuation I added a lump sum today. So can I just start the 28th afresh from today.. sorry for the plenty questions. Thanks

Hello

It should be enough

However, changing names on account shouldn't be more than 24hours,it might be best to do so and reprint your statement till date


Cheers

MG007:
Hello good people, my spouse applied with a bank statement bearing her maiden name . She has since changed her name which is reflected in other docs submitted except for the bank statement which still bears her maiden. Tho we submitted a marriage certificate and also change of name , pls will these docs suffice ??
