Hello

That's a big career change.

Your SOP should be solid in saying why (either due to work experiences, qualifications on short courses or passion)

Anyone can change career it is the justification that matters

Hello fam, how possible is it for someone with an Economics and statistics background to do an IT course, possibly Artificial intelligence.
Thanks all

Hello

2016-2022 is about 6 years study gap

The things you can provide as evidence would be your NYSC certificate and current employment

Cheers

Chukskelvin123:
I left the university 2016, but I served 2018/2019, I started working in 2020, could this be considered as a five years gab? Considering the fact that I have almost two year in between 2016 to 2018 and from 2020 till date.
Gurus in the house please respond

Hello

@ the bolded, if the purpose of deduction was for studies then keep the evidence incase it is required.


If it wasn't OYO is your case
Cheers

chukz99:
Good evening Duchess and every gurus in the house. Please I printed my pof some days back to upload on monday. But the funds was deducted from my account (after maturity date) and re-deposited. What is the implication on decision making? Should I wait for another 28 days and print a fresh one or I should go with the old one as the debit wasn't stated?

Thanks in advance

Hello

No it won't

Cheers

thormywa:
Please hope having salary stated on appointment letter wont reduce the chance of getting student Visa

Hello

Yes you can

Cheers

rocoh:
Thanks, because some where saying the 6 months issue must be considered

Hello

It's a 50% chance

It may also mean that your application is currently accessed.

If it is pas the 3weeks wait time then follow up with a paid mail

Cheers

Bpolo:
Hello @duchess

Please I received CAS used mail from my school yesterday, does it mean decision has been made by UKVI?

Hello

It depends

Did they ask for additional documents for the new course you will be going for?

All I can say is keep chasing with emails and calls.Unis are currently overwhelmed with applications so response may take time

Chase up

Cheers

Mboki:
Good afternoon Duchess and co, Nice job here mehn. Please I need your advice. I got an offer for MA Education, University of Sunderland, I have fulfilled all CAS Requirements only to be told that they only accept IELTS, I have sent Proof of English Proficiency and asked for a waiver but they insisted, I can't write an IELTS now, so they suggested a Change of Course. Please do anyone know how long a Change of course will take? Including getting a CAS, any General Advise? This will help me plan well. Thanks

Hello

Honest error I won't be too concerned

If it was the opposite situation (refusals or ban) then I would

However,if the MA is yet to submit his application he should make the necessary correction

Cheers

onerandomchick:
Hi guys, please help judge

MA filled his visa application and forgot to mention one of the countries he has been to, over 10 years ago. He remembered to put only the recent one, will this be a problem for him

It is urgent

Thanks

Thanks @Justwise

I have also seen people here asking to be contacted for a close biometric date.

I know I have directly replied one and asked if he was doing it for free. I didn't get a response

The funny part is very gullible desperate people will fall victim and get entangled in situations that will not benefit them at all and most times can't come out of.

We will flag it up to you if any happens

Cheers

justwise:
Sorted, turns out that he is an agent, that visa alert is just a cover up for fraudulent ad.

Hello

Yes

Cheers

beejay1157:
Pls house, is flexi appointment fee same as walk in?

Hello

Option 2 is deemed submitted, your 28days minimum should be fulfilled before doing so

Please give room for a day extra

Cheers

C505:
Hello @ duchess90 and bigtt please I need to really confirm this

At what point is your Uk Study visa deemed submitted based on the 28day rule for funds?
1. Is it when online form is filled?
2. When visa fee and IHS is paid?
3. When documents are uploaded for self upload option a day before biometrics date scheduled ?
4. On biometrics day if I choose assisted upload and go with my documents?

Hello.

That's not help

That's full on scam, again UK is not a breeding ground for such

Drop that mentality in Nigeria before you leave otherwise your stay won't be good especially when you try to cheat the system

Visa is one thing, making it is another.Deportation is real and will catch up with dubious people

Cheers

BEDFORDPIKIN:
Deleted, I was only trying to put some help out there in a way.

Hello

@Justwise please can you help look into the post by @Bedfordpikin and possibly ban such.

Thank you

Cheers

Hello @bedfordpikin

Be careful what you promote here please. This is scam, and your brother and whoever it is will get caught and banned


When you have a dubious cheating mind you won't make it in the UK

Getting a visa is one thing, thriving and succeeding is another. UK is not a breeding ground for scam people.

Be warned

Cheers

Hello

1. If it is regulated by CBN then that's all that matters,how does your friend know they can't be reached?

2. The address is not relevant although it's good everything matches up

3. Can you look at the first page and check the necessary links, I know visa fees is £363.

Options of paying will be your debit card( people have advised dorm cards)
Not sure if flutterwave and the likes are still available
Or someone paying on your behalf (please ensure it is someone you trust)

Cheers

abeysticks:

3. How can I pay my visa and ihs also how much is the visa cos on this platform and other chanels i am seeing different fees . thanks so much .

Hello

If you have the affidavit or newspaper publication already then do so

If not then it's fine

Cheers

Cjaylawson:
Pls my wife is my dependant ND am submitting our marriage certificate do I still need to submit affidavit of change of name since we have marriage certificate already as my dependant?
Pls gurus so urgent

Hello

Same advise applies

I am sure he asked you to get your guidance

Cheers

mufasa123:
I did exactly what you said.
The question was for my friend.

Hello

@Giselle237 responded

You are submitting your name change publication and marriage certificate

It should be fine

Cheers

oshocall:
Many thanks Duchess90 for you response

I will be submitting a change a change of name publication with my documents.

Am already married when I joined The company and they refused giving me another confirmation letter in my marriage name since dey didn't employ me with the name but can give a recommendation letter now be changed the name.

Hello.

Company registration documents and Taxes

Ensure your company is active on CAC

Cheers

untamedd:
Hello house,

Please what documents or proof should be submitted by a self employed person with a study gap of 6 years?

Hello

You still needed to submit that and I believe it appeared on your list of documents to submit for your dependants. That should have been a pointer

Hopefully the ECO request that

Cheers

Vintagee:
Yes, we have all done our biometrics. I got confused with this part of their application hence felt it wasn't necessary uploading on theirs again.

Hello

Are you submitting a change of name publication or affidavit along with your document? Then that should suffice and you shouldn't need another letter from your company

However ,if you were already married when you joined the company and they can reissue another with your married name then that's fine

Either way would work, I wouldn't be so concerned

Cheers

oshocall:
@Duchess90 @Justwise

Please I need ur advice my appointment and confirmation letter is in my maiden name cos I didn't do change of name when I joined the company. My passport is in my husband name can I use the confirmation letter as reference or I should get a recommendation letter from the company now my name is changed to my husband name?

Hello

If you already have your offer then that's perfect

Cheers

BarrONLS:
@duchess good evening.
Please why do you always advice those going for January intake to start applying from September? Does it mean we that applied earlier and have gotten offers already for January,our offers will be canceled and we will start all over around September?

Hello

Have your dependants done theirs?

What will most likely happen is that an NSF requesting evidence for their Maintenance will be sent


Be ready and supply that information when asked

Cheers

Vintagee:
Hi Duchess,

I already did my biometrics. Please is there any other way around this.

Regards.

Hello

But this has been addressed

Why will you put the wrong course level simply for this.


Anyway, entirely your choice/decision

Cheers

mufasa123:
Lol no worries. Now my friend is also in the same shoes. Lol
Same course and same level 6. That page is not showing up. What I noticed was that when we choose other levels, it comes up. He’s asking if he can just choose a wrong level so that he can fill the maintenance evidence.
Is that even advisable?

Hello

Please upload the POFs for your dependants on the day of your biometrics and pay for assisted service.

You can't assume the ECO will know the maintenance evidence you provided includes your dependant.
The link to your application is to show who they are depending on and what the person visa status or application is. They still have to meet all the criteria for dependant and that includes showing their POF

I would be very concerned about this

Cheers

Vintagee:
Hello house, I am just worri d now. I uploaded my POF account statement only on my own application. I did not upload it on my dependants applications. The POF however has funds for all of us and I was believing since the application is linked the VO can access from my application.
I am now noticing that everyone uploads on the individual applications. I hope this would not caus me any problem.

Hello

The next intake will be January

Your sister should reapply for January towards the end of September

Cheers

EvaMD:
Hi house..

my sister applied for masters education with the Gov.U.K. And selected 3 schools. She got picked by the university of Wolverhampton but they rejected her after precas.. now other schools have withdrawn their application.. she’s looking for schools starting in October as most September start are declining her applications due to the time frame.
Any advice ?

Thank you

Hello

I am a bit concerned about alot of things and have questions I typed out for you to consider but somehow it got lost so I will summarise my point

Just like @afmaag123 said, go and collect your passport, if the visa was truly overturned you will be requested to resubmit it.

If not you have28days to request for an admistrative review and time is no longer on your side

See attached

Cheers

skillspapi1:
Nope, I wanted to go for an administrative review before the school sent me a mail that the issue have been resolved and I was given a visa . Then I waited to know if I will get a mail from the home office..

Hello

If you have already put Nigeria and submitted your application then that's fine , I won't be too concerned if you can change it then do so to the correct details on your passport

Cheers

Klem28:
Just a quick one beloved Duchess90, would picking Nigeria as answer be fatal? I read while filling that part that your issuing authority could be your country, hence I picked Nigeria. Any harm please?

Hello

No it won't

Ensure your documents are all uploaded before your walk in appointment


Cheers

Klem28:
Hello Duchess90 and good people here, I already got closer date for my dependants but distance date for myself. I'm trying already to upload my documents but plan to do a walk in with my dependants. I hope change in my date won't change or remove my already uploaded documents? Your response please?

Hello

Did you request for a review?

You can't depend solely on the bank and your Uni to chase up, they don't have your authorization to do so.

You are supposed to request for an administrative review on the refusal and I believe there is a time frame for that.

Did you do this?

Cheers

skillspapi1:
I got a refusal mail from ukvi on 7th July 2022 and it was refused on the ground that the home office was enable to contact my financial institution for my proof of fund verification ( Ecobank ) which I guess was an error from the ukvi caseworker.
I went to make a formal complaint to my bank and they denied receiving any mail/call to that effect, ( which their contact details was available on the copy of the statement of account I uploaded during my visa application ). they equally contacted the home office via their official email on 13th July 2022. they got a reply from home office, which they were asked to verify the statement of account on 14th July 2022 and they ( Ecobank) did verify the account. I contacted the school about it and they said they will reached out to the home office..
Meanwhile I got a mail from Tlscenter on 13th July 2022 that my passport is ready for collection, but I was later contacted by the school that from their records the issue have been resolve and decision overturned, that a visa has been issued on 15th July 2022, that was 2days after I have already receive my collection mail from Tlscenter.. But still I have not yet received any mail from the home office about the overturned decision.
I have contacted the school again and they told me same thing that from their record , a visa have been issued after the ukvi overturned the decision on 15th July 2022..
I sent a message via paid mail yesterday to the ukvi but they didn't give me any better response.
Someone said I should wait for them till next week before going to Tlscenter ..

Hello

Absolutely yes

Cheers
