Hello

Someone put up a list somewhere in this thread for people looking for admission with HND

Try to search through for it

Also note, here we encourage DIY

Cheers

Nnennayao:
Please I need help, intially before I joined this platform, I was making use of the agent, I have applied for a direct master's through them in public health with my HND certificate, for direct master's Since January this year, information reaching me now is that UK schools don't accept HND for direct master's again, mostly Sheffield hallam university. Which is my main target.

Please I want to know if there is another school I can get with my HND for direct master's in public health for January batch 2023.
@justwise@mimilyrics and other gurus in the house
Help me please.

Hello

But the affidavit and newspaper publication reflects the correct name right?which I believe is the same on the international passport.

I won't be worried about it. You could address this in the additional information section if you wish to

Cheers

Klem28:
It's like this for example: Rose Abayomi AKINLAJA (Surname as her maiden name) on the marriage certificate but Rose Adenike OLAGUNJU (Surname mine) on her international passport since we are now married. She did change of name with affidavit and newspaper publication. The issue I'm trying to raise for clarification now is that instead of her to now answer Rose Abayomi OLAGUNJU, which reflects her first and middle name on marriage certificate, what she answers now is Rose Adenike OLAGUNJU and which is what is on her international passport. Like I said, the name on her international passport is what is on her change of name through affidavit and newspaper publication. I hope this my analogy is explanatory please?

Hello

He should put his date of marriage 2017 (provide both church and court certificates)

In addition information or add a letter stating that the church marriage was done first and then the court later.

The most important thing is the proof of relationship since 2017 (wedding and family pictures,chats, emails ,text, bills paid together, investment made, holiday trips etc)

Cheers
quote author=aristosoft post=114579728]Hello everyone. I'm really in need of an advice for a friend. He got married in 2017 (Traditional and Church) but did his Registry marriage in April this year. He is about applying for visa using his wife a a dependent, Now the dilemma is:
1. Should he claim all three marriages? and which date of marriage will he use, 2017 or 2022
2. Should he just use the date of registry marriage April 2022? The worry is that UKVI might query that it was rushed because of the visa application
3. Or just go ahead with the Church (though not registered with interior ministry or marriage registry)

Of course they had a kid within that period too.
Your kind suggestions and/or logic will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hello

She should prepare for a possible NSF requesting for the documents she missed, hopefully not a refusal

Cheers

Pls gurus in the house I need your urgent advice..
My sis who is a nurse in the UK made a mistake when applying for her husband and kids as her dependants.. she forgot to upload her first daughters birth certificate.. then she used one nin for two people mistakenly.. but for her husband and the other kids(2) everything is ok.. but we are all worried about the first daughters issue.. is it going to affect their chances of getting Visa. Their biometrics is on Wednesday.. thanks

Wow

That's alot

Visa fees will be forfeited but IHS refunded, but may take a bit of time

That will mean you will need to pay visa and IHS again for you and your family.

Hmmm, it's your call now

Cheers

ademidedavid:
It’s for a family of 5

Do I have to pay individual visa fee and surcharge please?

Hello

It is a risk, but doable

Did you see on this same thread few pages back where someone did same and now there are issues with her TB or so and has to wait additional 6weeks and cancel visa application.

Calculate your risk accordingly

Cheers

Jaybadestboy:
Hello everyone, please I need your help. My pof is due for 16th of this month , however my tuberculosis test is slated for 26th of this month. Please, anybody who has applied, do I attach my tuberculosis result to my uploaded supporting documents during application or can I take it and pay for them to upload it during biometrics?

I don't think I can wait till I complete the tuberculosis test before I start my visa application . This due to the current rush for biometrics date as I intend to use ikeja tls . Thank you

Hello @Giselle237

Very dangerous but what to do na

Op asked questions after submitting and attending biometrics. I saw that he also posted same in the general thread and you warned severely

@ademidedavid can you cancel your application and do another?you might have to forfeit visa fee

Otherwise, na to pray dem no pick am up

Cheers

giselle237:
when previous refusals are from same UK? This is dangerous…

Hello

How do you mean different please?

Would this be an error in spelling or a different name like Rose instead of Sarah?

With the first it should be fine as long as first and last name is same

With the second try to get an affidavit to say it is same person

Cheers

Klem28:
Greetings@Duchess, please help attend to this my query. On my marriage certificate, the middle name of my wife is different from the one on her international passport. Is this fatal to our application? What option do we have please?

Hello

This is medicine after death na

The question should have been asked before visa submission.
Anyway, the hope is that it isn't a concern to the ECO looking at your application

Cheers

ademidedavid:
But has gotten to DMC

Hello

Perhaps dates are not available at the moment

The September rush session

Keep trying at different times in the day

Cheers

Kelvinf2g:
I can’t book appointment, I can’t even select dates

Hello

Why the selective refusal declaration?

And Yes it matters, declare all

Even if it is multiple refusals in a week

Cheers

ademidedavid:
Please house, Hope it does not matter if a person applying for student visa declares just one refusal (the most recent) instead of two although In the same year. (A visiting visa though)

Hello

Specify the IOM you attended so others can be aware it is that particular centre


Others may be slightly better especially the facilities

Cheers

TB test procedure (To save those will be going some unnecessary stress)

If you have your appointment, once you get there, just walk to the security at the gate. Show them your appointment letter and your passport, you'll be allowed in. (Please, go with a photocopy of your documents, including your payment receipt to save yourself time)

[/b]CONFIRMATION OF APPOINTMENT - COLLECTION OF TAG - VERIFICATION OF PAYMENT/FILLING OF ONLINE FORM - COLLECTION OF CHECKLIST FORM - WAITING FOR CAPTURING/CAPTURING PROPER - XRAY - SEEING A DOCTOR - COLLECTION OF CERTIFICATE[b]

Getting inside, walk to where you'll be directed, give your appointment letter to the security man there and go sit down. He will collect the letters, take it inside for them to confirm the appointments, then return to call your names. At this point, those whose appointments were confirmed will be given tags.

With your tags, the next stop is verification of your payment. Still in that same "tent" you are under. They just confirm your payment on their list and stamp the receipt. Peradventure they couldn't find your name, don't fret. You'll be sent to the IT team who'll verify on their own computer and send you back for stamping.

Next is to fill a questionnaire online for the UK whatever. Please, ensure your are filling the correct one, as there is the one for UK and the one for Canada, Australia and other countries. (You'll see the QR code to scan to fill the form or just type in the link on your browser)... This can be done before or after your receipt verification as long as you've gotten your tag, as your tag number will be requested on the site

After receipt verification, you'll pick up a small form which is a kind of checklist. Every step is listed there and each office is expected to tick once you're through with each step.

(These first steps are carried out under the same tent and doesn't actually waste time)

You'll be ushered to where you'll wait for capturing. Basically what they do here is take a passport photograph of you, then ask you to confirm the information you've filled online which will be displayed to you on a large monitor. (Na this stage dey take time). When you're through with this stage, you'll be given a doctor who'll attend to you. The number will be written on your slip.

From here, Na to go for the X-ray. The stamped receipt will be requested from you and the small form which is a kind of checklist, so that they can tick it. This stage no dey take time at all. Within 5 minutes you don finish, as the x-ray itself is done in less than 30seconds.

You remember that doctor wey dem give you? This is the time to go see the doctor, e.g doctor 5. Just ask the security men where doctor 5 dey and go wait for him. (This stage dey take time also o, but the actual meeting with the doctor shouldn't last up to 5 minutes).

At this point, you don finish. You either go chill somewhere waiting for your result or you return another day. If you had your x-ray before 2pm, you'll be able to get your certificate that same day. After 2pm, you'll have to come another day.

I picked up on Saturday and didn't spend up to 20minutes there for pickup.

Observations
- Try to go before 1, as I think at a point they stop allowing people in. No rush go early in the morning, else you go see say you and those wey come by 12 still dey there around 4pm.
- Better to photocopy your documents at home than over there.
- If you carry ride, there is a parking lot just in the next compound but I guess you'll pay for parking
- The security men I met at the gate first day I went were really rude to people (not to me sha o), although those I met at the gate when I went for collection were very nice and respectful
- The toilet is BAD, no water and stinks. So no too think am
- Aside few security men who were very unfriendly, ALL the IOM workers themselves were very wonderful in carrying out their duties. The way they attend to questions, to people, you'll love it. At a point, I felt there was a secret camera monitoring their actions, that's why. Lol

These are my experiences, yours may be different, but you don get scope of what to expect sha. (Make una no vex say e too long, mbok)

Hello

No because your letter of employment does not replace evidence for maintenance unless you are being sponsored by a company in this case the Uni.

If the Uni provides a letter saying your maintenance funds is fully covered through your employment then that will suffice

If not,you have to show the necessary documents as advised by UKVI


Cheers

raddyworld:
Good day house...
I have got a serious question.

What of if you are going for schooling and u are given employment in the same school that covers beyond ur school fee and maintenance.
Now u want to process as student but also tender ur letter of appointment indicating ur salary for a year with School. Can the £1200 proof of fund work for this process or u don't need a proof of fund at all?

Hello

You can go ahead to fill the visa application but can't go past the declaration section or pay for visa fees and IHS, that will lock your application and you can't make the changes you need


If you do so and still intend to change your passport you will have to cancel the application and start again with the new passport.

Hope it helps

Cheers

oluodun:
Hello. Please is it possible I use my passport that expires by September 22 for visa application and update before biometrics? My new passport is delayed

Hello

Chats, text ,emails , holidays together, bills paid or investment together

There's a lot you can add

Cheers

George3766:
Please I need advice on what other documents can be added to marriage certificate and pictures for proof of relationship for dependent visa as we have no kids yet. Thanks

Hello

Yes

Cheers

tobyharwe:
Pls house can one use 2 account from different banks but with same name as PoF?

Hello

If it's is a paper copy of refusal and you lost it in transit then state so

Cheers

Gift7428:
I am filling my CAS shield
What reason do I state? I don’t have my refusal letter anymore

Hello

Erm, how old are you?

Put your age without years

So if you are 12years like I am put 12 only

Cheers

Bukatex:
Please guys, what should I fill in the picture below?

Hello

It's not the end of the world.

However TB certificate is one of the key documents

My advice please cancel the biometrics so the visa and IHS refund process can begin.

I do understand CAS is within 3months so that should be fine. She should update the school, and follow IOMs advise


Let's see how things unfold

Cheers

Mickeybook:
Hello House, Please, their is a serious concern, my friend went for her tb test in Lagos iom on Monday...unfotunately for her she couldn't get her result that day , to cut the long story short... She has gone their today but they told her that they saw something in her chest but it's not tuberculosis that she will need to wait for 6 weeks more so , she has already paid her fees and her biometric dates is 3 of August... Please, we are confused...what can she do

Hello

There's nothing you can do about it

And it depends on the ECO, they might be happy with just the CV or will need more and send an NSF

2. You might want to consider flying through England first to avoid transit visa, the ones I looked at seems to be going through France and you might need one pending on the airport

Cheers

Adura22:
Hi good morning guys. I had my Biometrics on Wednesday 6th July, Unfortunately, I uploaded work reference without Uploading my CV, does it mean I have legally invited NSF??

Secondly, how do I book book cheap flight from lagos to Glasgow.

School: University of Stirling

I'd appreciate your feedback

Hello

Yes please, take it along on your day of biometrics and request for it to be uploaded as assisted service

There's a charge for it but it is good you do so

Cheers

ZiggyMr:
Hi Duchess, I haven't done biometrics yet. Is it possible to still upload it to my application?

Hello

It certainly would have helped.

It depends on the ECO at this point if they are satisfied with what you submitted or need more evidence

I will advise to prepare does pictures and have it ready just incase

Cheers

ZiggyMr:
Hi guys, I did not include family pictures in my application but I submitted marriage certificate and 2 birth certificate for my son (NPC and Hospital).
Is this invitation for NSF?

Hello

You can request to know your information held with UKVI through the link below. You may need to input a UK address though.

https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/requests-for-personal-data-uk-visas-and-immigration/request-personal-information-held-by-uk-visas-and-immigration

With the second, a little Google search and previous list pasted on this thread if you search through will help


Cheers.

omorefe101:
Hello,

How are you all doing, I'm very new here and I want to ask some questions which I need help with, please I have applied for a UK visa before through an agent and I was rejected and I don't no the reason why I was rejected, please is there a way to find out because I want to apply for a UK school visa.

I don't want a reason that at the end of the day I discovered that I have been band from getting a UK visa by the embassy, and please what is the most affordable college in UK for a Master or B.sc degree

Hello

On a good day won't you be making withdrawals from your bank account in 28-30days? POF is not a special statement that you need to get, it is the usual bank statement you will have and that will reflect your day to day bank activities not affecting your funds for study

Ideally it shouldn't raise a red flag anyway

Cheers

Realshima88:
Good evening my people, abeg does it raise a redflag if your POF statement has only Credit transactions (No withdrawals/spending).

Hello

If you didn't amend your appointment the previous date should still be valid

Log in and confirm

Cheers

Susky:
Pls If i try to amend my appointment and i did not get a date or a nearer date, can i still retain my previous appointment date?

Hello

The 2020 job only covers 2years

Hello

This is peak time for September session

Not everyone applying is on Nairaland

Keep trying at odd times and using perhaps a different browser

Cheers.

Susky:
I could not get a date for tls, what is wrong?

Hello

I understand the anxiety

The app is just to track, no step is more important than the other.

To answer your bolded,the green light doesn't say much, if you didn't get a refusal mail you should start prepping for your trip,

Congratulations

Please update the thread when you get your visa

Cheers

eniola1010:
Ok i'll watch out for it. Thanks so much. Most of the time when its green it means its a good news right?

Sorry, but out of curiosity, what then is the importance of app received by vac since it seems app transferred to vac is the major decision making point.



Also, this is to people who have a farther biometric date, my original date was july 20th. So i decided to go on july 6th to do walkin. Unfortunately, i was uable to do walkin cus they were not allowing walkin.

So luckily, i tried adusting my date on the tls site, and i got july 7th.

So u may want to try that scope too.

Bless us all

Hello

You already have a CAS and your school granted your application with your current masters.

There are lots of people who have done masters and even PhD multiple times.

As long as you can justify the reason for a second masters which I am sure you did for your school to give your CAS you should be fine

Cheers

Greathand01:
Thank you ma'am..Hope Having a master's degree before won't raise eyebrows for visa application

Hello

If transferred to vac is green then Yes

But it isn't green in this screenshot though

Congratulations in advance

Cheers

eniola1010:
If the application transferred to vac is color green does it mean a decision has been made?

Hello

Please don't fall for scammers

There's nothing extra they do except refreshing and checking at different times which you can also do

You don't want to give out sensitive information regarding your visa application because you want someone to get you a date

Whatever happens, it is your risk to take

Cheers

bikerchiek3:
Please who has a link to get a close date for biometric ikeja or VI tls ??

Hello

You will need to cancel and reapply

Once you select a TLS centre you can't change it unless you start over

Cheers
