Hello

You have to use one family member appointment and the others can walk in and pay for the relevant service.

Also confirm that the TLS you selected is currently offering such as I believe some may have put it on hold(case in point TLs Ikeja)

Cheers

slutky:
Please I need for this question

Hello All,

Please I have a question regarding walk-in for my family. We all have different appointment dates. Can we do walk in and ignore our different appointment dates for biometrics or we must walkin using an appointment date for 1 family member

Hello

You can apply anytime but I am sure most Uni's are focused on clearing September intake

Can I ask why you are applying through UCAS when you can apply directly to the school?

Cheers

Ugmama:
@duchess90 @mimilyrics or any other person

Kindly assist to confirm when we should send applications for MSc through UCAS for 2023.

I have been waiting for it.

Hello

Yes your new passport will have a section for the previous passport no.


When you get it, you will see what we have all referred to

Cheers

royal200:

Goodevening all,
Please i need clarity on how NHS payment is structured. I saw on this thread that NHS is 897.47£ but what i saw on UkVI site is 363£ kinda confused
For a year course am i paying nhs for my dependants too?

Looking forward to your response

Hello

The money is for your studies in the UK

Cheers

royal200:
Please guys....no say my question are much and just a novices who want to learn without agent. The POF after i leave the money on my account for say 29 days and I printed it and submit. Will the money necessary to still be in the account till after decision has been made on my Visa application?

Hello


You can start with the old one pending when the new one is ready


The new one will reflect the previous passport number


You also asked a question about POFs which I think has been flagged because I can't see it

Your POF is your maintenance for your studies, it should be in your bank for a period of minimum 28days and you can print your statement after then ensuring it is submitted before the 31st day after printing.

Hope that answers

Cheers

royal200:

Hello


Well-done you did the maths yourself

Cheers

omis1:
thanks,it’s more than enough

Hello

If you have more than 5years study gap and your were employed please include it.

Cheers

StellarThesis:
Please is it compulsory to submit cv and employment letter?

Hello

No it won't

Student visa is Point based,so consideration on visa approval will be based on the necessary points accrued.

May I add that she should endeavour to state she has a relation in the UK if he mom still lives there

Cheers

okuwaniceman:
Hello all
Pls what implications does disclosing by an MA with dependants spouse and children when filing their visa application, that the MA has a mother who is now a British citizen, have on their applications?. Would that suggest that they may not want to come back when deciding on their visas thereby leading to denial? Pls if you have any idea or has passed through same, kindly help to respond.

Pls note the Student MA is applying together with her dependants.

Hello

Yes that should be okay for your application.
Remember to use the appropriate currency exchange rate on Oanda


Cheers

Cjaylawson:
Pls I plan to use fidelity bank Dom account for my visa application hope the bank is good for that

Hello

Can you use Oanda rate (link below) to confirm?

Good afternoon house ,I want to start my proof of fund next week Tuesday and I have 10m only,my tution balance is £7200 and d ukvi bills calculation for Other bills is 9207 ,total is £16407. Would 10m be enough?

Hello

Absolutely it should be fine


The only thing I will add is if her passport is not ready and his visa vignette on the passport is almost expiring,he can arrive the UK, get his BRP and other necessary documents and then return to Naija to wait and follow up with her application

Cheers

Bhee20:
Hello @duchess90 @giselle237

Please I need advice, i and the MA with my husband and daughter as dependents, my daughter is less that 6months old and her international passport is not ready yet. However, my husband and I want to apply for Visa so I can resume in September while he stays back with her till her passport is ready and we can apply for her and they both travel together.

Do you know if this arrangement can fly and she’d be granted visa based on the fact that both her parents would have visa already?

Hello @kambols95

I believe there is a section for advert placement

Please have a look for that section and place your advert accordingly

Cheers

Hello

@the first bolded if you ask me na who I go ask??

@the second bolded ..No comment

@the third bolded.. can you speak to the people that have done so? They may give a better advise.

Me na the policy I look

Cheers

Gift7428:
I am meant to do my masters and return to Nigeria right? That is the ideal way. Not everyone believes in the abroad dream especially if they are doing well in Nigeria
He is offshore sometimes for 3 months so where should the child be at that time if I don’t go with her?

I can’t lie that we are separated when we are not. Applying with us will mean more POF and he is not ready for all that and I don’t have more than enough for his POF.
I have seen people get visa without their husbands.

Hello

Operate your account like you would as long as your maintenance is not affected

Cheers

Skin90:
Good afternoon house,

@Justwise @Duchess90

Please, if remove like #300,000 from my pof account, will it be of any effect?

My pof will still be at the required amount needed for my visa application after removing the #300,000

Thanks

Hello

This was a consideration at the credibility interview during Biometrics which is currently not as popular and will only be requested on a case by case basis.

Because the credibility interview is not taking place as often as it should ,case workers now rely solely on evidence of anything worth considering including study gaps.

That is the reason why NSF mails have been sent to request that sort of additional document and now applicants are proactive in submitting such to avoid NSFs


Here's a screenshot and a link to do more reading.There's a shorter version and I'll post it when I find it

https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/points-based-system-student-route

Cheers

emandman:
Sorry if I appear like I'm doubting so many respected gurus here, but this study gap idea I read here ,where did it come from?
I can't find job reference as a requirement on ukvi site and I know a colleague with 10 years study gap who did not submit job reference and was granted.
I will still err on the side of caution though. But we need to clarify if it's a myth we've all come to accept as norm.
Thanks

Hello,

The email I had advised was hers not the kids

But if the bolded is possible and the applicant doesn't mix things up then this would be a better option

Cheers

Davidandgo:
Please use your email. I assume your kids are minors and it’s expected that they won’t be able to monitor the progress of their application by themselves.

It is also easy for you to track their applications using your email address because each child/dependent is [b]expected to have different passwords anyways.
[/b]
A lot of people did this and they were able to track their children’s application.

Hello

@ the bolded have you tried?
It's always good to keep your application straightforward and clean without mix and matches but if you can't then use it as it is, there's nothing you can do.

Cheers

December30:
one of my references was addressed to Abuja and[b] I’m not [/b]sure I will be able to get another one because it was from my previous employer

Hello

Nope the consent letter is not enough.

Is his work a compelling reason why he is not applying at the same time with you? It's up to you to prove that otherwise I fear a possible refusal .

Here's a screenshot that explains the sentence easier, you can do more research on this

PS there is something called parent child abduction

Cheers

Gift7428:
So in my case are you saying I might need a legal document since my husband is not applying with us?

The consent letter from both of us and his documents should be okay right?
He can’t apply due to the nature of his job( offshore)
Please kindly let me know if I might need additional documents so I gather them now. We are still married.

Hello

@Bourne007

The heatwave is not funny at all

Na red alert we get for our end aiming close to 40°c by Mon or Tues

I don roast be that. How's your end?

Cheers

Bourne007:
Valid points. Thanks for your response. Enjoy tomorrow's heat wave

Hello

@bigtt76 responded

Can I also say that time between Friday to Tuesday is not too much considering you can't do anything during the weekend.

I personally would print it on a Tuesday

Cheers

Kalakris:
@bigtt76 @duchess90 @justwise
I want to print out my account statement (POF).
I want the statement to start from the 25th of June to 22nd of July.
That 22nd of July (which fell on a Friday) is exactly the 28th day. Can I print it that day and it will be valid (28 days). Due to time, I may not want to wait till Tuesday (banks don't work on mondays in the East).

If the date of printing (28th day) is included, am I good to go?

Hello

You don't need to include the decision documents, declaring it is sufficient

I won't be too concerned

Cheers

Ibro2021:
Gurus in the house, please advise.

I declared a South African visit visa refusal from 2019 but forgot to upload the notice of decision doc when self uploading on TLS. Reason for refusal was the SA Embassy been unable to reach the training centre that issued invitation letter to me.
I reapplied for the same SA visit visa to the training centre in early-2020 and it was granted.

Does this affect my application please, or do I have to submit the notice of decision when I go for biometrics?

Thank you.

@duchess90 @justwise

Hello

Back to the previous answer @ the bolded

The father can't grant sole responsibility to the mom.
It is the court to do so


If you are referring to letter of consent that won't still apply, it has to be apply together ,provide sole responsibility (legal document) or show compelling reasons (hence the discussion about special needs)
Cheers

bigtt76:
I don't know but aren't we mis-construing the denial of the child's visa to his/her special needs? Basing an appeal on this, may not fly [b]without the father granting the mother sole responsibility as the main applicant. [/b]That I think is the main reason for the denial and until that is sorted out, I don't see how it will fly based on the special needs.

If the father hadn't apply with the MA and child and there was a letter of consent, would child have been denied?

Hello

Exactly so if it isn't the case, what @bourne007 said earlier has to stand unless compelling reasons which is what has brought us back to the discussion

My point was responsibility is not just an affidavit, or a letter of consent when it comes to a minor especially when the second parent can't apply.

Thinking about it, I know someone who has sole responsibility because the other parent has some mental health issues and can't take decisions for the child. They had to prove and provide evidence for that sha

Anyway..enjoy your Sunday

Cheers

bigtt76:
I get you perhaps I got the name wrong but care must be taken here ...declaring sole responsibility in court (legal document) may be construed as a 'semi-divorce' except the grounds for declaring sole responsibility are well defined. I'm not a lawyer ....just my thoughts though

Hello

Your chances are like any other dependant spouse.

Ensure you provide the relevant documents in particular your certificates( divorce and marriage), and proof of relationship as far back as possible with necessary pictures,chats, emails ,bills, investment etc

Note that checks will be made on the documents you submit

Cheers

dadsonade7:
Please house,i have a peculiar case here.I applied alone in the year 2019 for tourism but was denied.Although i filled in the form that i have a wife and 3 children.

Now i have divorced my wife and the 3 children are with her.However i am doing my responsibilities as a father though living separately.

I have since remarried and my new wife want to apply as a student..i plan to apply alongside her by attaching my divorce certficate from my previous wife.

Pls,what is my chance of getting the visa aling with my new wife who is going for a mastwrs orogramme.

I need a sincere answer from the house please

Hello

Please address to Lagos High Commission

Cheers

December30:
Good evening all, please can my reference letter be addressed to British High Commission in Abuja? I am applying from Lagos TLS. Thank you.

Hello

If you confirm the assisted service it will cancel out your self service

You can't have 2 appointments at a time.

You can choose to only go for assisted or continue with your self service and if you need help on the day of your biometrics pay for the assisted

Cheers

crazyscientist0:
Guys please if I’m trying to amend to find earlier dates and want to try assisted service, will it affect my already booked self service appointment? I noticed I have to remove self service from my basket to access the dates for assisted service.
Please I’ll appreciate any response, help or clarification, thank you.

Hello

That won't work

Sole responsibility is declared in court, a full on legal document

Cheers

bigtt76:
Exactly and correct but my thoughts here is for the mom to reapply (if an administrative review does not suffice here) and include the letter of consent from the husband for her to assume responsibility over the child.

Hello

She can get a visit visa

The general visa thread is a good place to start if you want to apply for her

Cheers

Temillion:
Please can you bring your mother on student visa when you give birth? Also what are the requirements to bring her

Hi Bourne007

I agree with what @Giselle237 and @Justwise says about the possibility but tbh it might be slim

Whilst they go around looking for a solid lawyer can they Include and justify

1. What the special needs is and how they have explored the options of care in Nigeria and why they deem fit that the child must be with the mom

2. How that will not affect her studies seeing she will need dedicated amount of time to care for her child and not focus on study

3. How this extra care will be gotten and the effect it will have on the NHS

4. Why the father can't care for the child considering she will be returning back to Nigeria after her studies


5. it might get to the point of legal declaration to some extent

6. This will be a rough path to go but slim chance of winning

All the best to the person

Cheers

Bourne007:
Yea it's really sad as child visas can be tricky in scenarios like this. Message passed and hopefully they will have options on what to do. Cheers

Hello

Use another email, it will be tricky to use the same sign in details when you want to track your application

Cheers

slutky:
Dear All,

Please I am trying to fill an application for my children. Can I use same email I used for my application or I need to open I separate email for my children application

Hello

Do they depend on you?

If they do please say Yes.

The account were the POFs is maintained is irrelevant

Cheers

slutky:
I need help with the below


Dear ALL,

I am filling my application. I am a dependent to my wife because she is the main applicant and the POF is in her account. ON the application i am being asked if the children will be dependent on me. Should i write NO since the POF is in my wife's account
