Hello.

@the bolded statement is not true..
There are people that have submitted hard copy statement and gotten their visa.

Fake statement has nothing to do with the app you mentioned

Cheers

bigtt76:
Yup ...I'm even seeing the banks are adopting the use of a third-party platform to send bank statements directly to Embassies and High Commissions - https://www.visa-mybankstatement.com/ scroll down and see the list of banks there. This means if its not from this platform, it would regarded as fake

Hello

@the bolded statement, yes mistakes do happen and it won't be the first but the probability of making another mistake even after going for an AR is 0.000000000001%

Cheers
[quote author=WatchYourSix post=113990263]I hope i find that guys post that used an immigration lawyer to get the UKVI....like i said...it might be more than the statement...

they used silent tactics for months only for them to later give the guy him visa without saying anything about the issue again..
They are human beings in UKVI oga... and I kid you not when i say this is not the first time its happening...[/qu

Hello,

I will advise to wait till your CAS is out. You may not need to ask this question.

Cheers

jtgpt:
I'm curious about this date issue please.
I haven't gotten my CAS yet , but on my offer letter, I have:
Start date: 26/09/2022
End date: 31/08/2023.

This is not up to a year. If it is maintained like this on my CAS, what implication does it have please? Especially as it concerns the chances of getting a post graduate visa after my studies?

Hello

That is clearly a ban, you have also requested for a review and they have upheld their decision

You will keep getting refused no matter what you do, even with a million cover letters.

You have to leave any application to the UK for now (serve your 10years ban) and focus elsewhere

Cheers

damiplovR:
This is what I got in my first refusal

Hello,

Did you get a ban in your first refusal?

Reapplying with a cover letter will not help, it will be stories that touch.

Confirm first if you were banned??
Otherwise you will keep piling refusals

Cheers

damiplovR:
Hello guys. Please I'm in a delima right now. Applied for student visa since March. Got refusal in may saying they aren't convinced that my bank statement is genuine. I did an AR in June only to get an unsuccessful AR response that they still don't believe our bank statement from heritage bank is genuine. Saying it was deceptive pls does anyone know what I can do? Or if I can reapply using a cover letter proving that the bank statement was genuine @justwise

Hello

Premium lounge or Flexi appointment?

They are 2different services.

Have you tried to add the flex request after selecting either the assisted or self service?

Try and select a date and see if you can add flex appointment once you have done so

Cheers
.

Davidandgo:
As a background, this is what I saw when I was able to book yesterday. It keeps preventing me from booking Premium Lounge for the MA because it’s not listed as a service offered on his profile.

Hello,

Put the dates on your CAS

Cheers.

vickmor002:
Good morning fams,

Please I need your assistance, I have been getting this error massage and has been unable to submit my wife application as my dependant.

Please which date will I put for a year masters course??

Hello

At the appointment evidence of payment will be requested for.

So please ensure payment is made before your appointment as it validates it. Otherwise you will go all the way to IOM and return without doing your TB test

Cheers

ignis:
Please I just booked online for TB medical test at IOM Abuja.
I have been given an appointment date (12/07/22) and time without any payment details.

Please I would like to know if payment validates the appointment?

Hello

At 18years, he is no longer a minor so can't be a dependant child.

So No she can't apply for dependant visa for him

Cheers

Febisola007:
Hello house can my sister is trying to apply for a study visa and she has a 18 years old child? Can she apply for a dependent visa for him?

Hello

If you are all going together I guess that should be fine.

If not then pay individually

Cheers

Fadelex:
I want to pay for medicals, can I pay for a family of 4 at once or I have to pay individually?

Hello,.

Hopefully someone in RGU can respond to your first question

For the second,it seems your course is quite intense, not sure what you are studying, that's why you have the 20hrs per week restrictions. If you add your 30hrs study plus 20hrs work that's 50hrs. The average work time per week is usually 48hrs, you would be overstretching yourself to do both (as study is sort of work)

It really will be better to have funds handy to keep you going and not need to work 20hrs, target 15hrs per week.

You don't want to be burnt out working and with not much energy to study.

You have holiday time, (please confirm the dates from your school) to rest and make up the work hours.

Stress and mental health issues are real in the UK.Take care of yourself first

Cheers

Mamalistic5:
Good morning everyone
I got an offer from RGU bit someone told me that the rate of employment for students is low and that people have to go very far to get an employment

I also discovered that my course is 30 hours in a week How do people cope with that and work. Please someone should respond to my question@ Duchess90 and Justwise , thanks so much for your impact here

Hello,

It would depend on your Uni and what they are happy to receive.

You could begin the process using what you have (statement of result), if your certificate is requested for you can explain the strike situation.

Besides when did you graduate? Keep an ear on the news so when strike is called off you can process your certificate asap


Cheers

anozie09:
I have my transcript but not my degree certificate (cos of the strike), can my statement of result stand in place of certificate for the entire process.. i.e: from admission to form A to visa application? Thanks

@Duchess90 @Gloriyah

Hello,

Not just me, you have a squad of Nairalanders to help

Cheers

Fave12345:
Thank you very much. I'll read through the thread. If I have any other question, can I send an email to you or something.

Hello @Pgift

Did you see my response above?

Cheers

Pgift:
I didnt submit a consent letter for proof of fund for my daughter. We both applied as dependant to the MA already in UK. I submitted my personal account statement and joint account statement owned by i and MA.
Is this something to be worried about?

Hello,

Don't panic,

If it's needed a NSF mail will be sent requesting it.

Cheers

Pgift:
I am anxious now....Did biometrics for 2 dependants on the 23rd May. Forgot to upload the consent for POF ( from my personal account and a joint account of i and MA) of fund for my child. Thought the home office consent form signed covers for it...
Anyone with idea on this.

Hello,

Yes

Cheers

desi10mi:
Can the whole family apply together using two different accounts, both belonging to the main applicant.

Hello,

Much better, we are here to help if you need any

Cheers

Fave12345:
I'll try the study visa then. Thank you very much

Hello


There isn't any, if you wanted a longer stay you would have opted for a different visa route.

Visit visa is what is to visit and return

UK is not the place you want to overstay or play a fast one

Well, you are an adult and can make your own decisions good or bad,I hope you choose the good one

Cheers

Fave12345:
Nah, I don't want to do anything illegal actually. I'm just looking for a fast way or whatsoever.

Hello,

Not sure how first bank apps work but can you view your bank statement and take a screenshot of that transaction

You might also take a screenshot of the debit alert you received if any and print both

Others can add

Cheers

Amarachyy:
Good afternoon all,

please someone should advice me on what to do � I paid for my TB test last night using firstbank mobile App, although I was debited but couldn't print out the receipt.

My statement of account is showing I was debited ND it went successfully. The problem now is how will I show my evidence of payment tomorrow since I couldn't print the receipt.

Hello

I beg to differ at the bolded but for the sake of not diverting this thread I'll move on.

Cheers

AlphaUno:
You obviously seem lost but not to worry, I will try to break it down for you like a kindergarten
.
I didn’t ask any question neither did I raise any concern that needed answering.
I only put out info for people who might need it and her respond made a mockery of that.

So, run along now and go play with your toys

Hello

That should be fine.

Please include a consent letter saying he is sponsoring your studies and you access to the funds in the bank

Cheers

Seyeedat:
Hello everyone. My husband is the one sponsoring my study, and I am using his account statement for POF for both school and embassy. Hope it's fine?

Hello

No, visit visa is for the sole purpose of visiting.

Any other visa application should be made when you return

Cheers

Fave12345:
Good day guys, nice work in this community. Please I have a question. Is it possible to enter UK through visitor's visa and convert it to work permit or sth else?

Hello

Why should that be an issue?

Isn't it your usual account, if you have transactions in your account that should be normal.

Printing your statement as a POF to show your maintenance is not some sort of special account or should have special transactions

Cheers

Apostlelong:
Good morning house, Please I have a 200k transaction in between my POF and my biometrics is tomorrow, hope it won't be an issue

Hello,

Just looked at your screenshot,

That's weird that there are no time slots time Jan 2023. What TLS is that?

Can I ask you to keep trying, perhaps use different browsers/systems and at random times in the day

Be patient, it may be a glitch

Cheers

Davidandgo:
Someone had suggested I wait till midnight which I’ve done and still there are no time slots available. Someone please share your experience on the workaround.

Thanks

Hello,

But you don't need an agent to mess things up for you.


You should DIY

Cheers

TeamLagos147:
Thank you! I just contacted them on IG.

Hello,

The latest time is when the dependant is ready, as long as it is done before the MA applies for post study visa. It might be worth ensuring you apply in time (when the MAs current visa validity is still within 6-4 months just to be safe).

Abit of research on post study work visa processes will give you the answer to why.


Cheers

LORETA:
Please advice , the latest time to apply for a dependant visa . MA resumes September 5th for a one year masters program.

Please explain a bit why I should apply at that particular time.
Thanks

Hello,

Happy to respond to this

Fully funded PhD in most cases will either be tuition and a monthly stipend
for the international student

Or if it is a full funded PhD for home (UK) student but open to international students, tuition will be paid as home (UK) student and the difference between the fees of a home and international student will have to be paid.

So the first question is, when her funding/contract is ready you will see what it covers and that can tell what evidence of funds you will need to provide(POFs)

Because you have to still apply for your visa, the PhD student will need to pay visa fees and IHS, although you can claim this back if the funding says so.

2. It doesn't cover dependants.

3. As per your Plab journey, it is for you and your wife to decide

Cheers

stanvesco:
@Justwise

You are doing a wonderful work here. Kudos to you. I have some burning Questions please.

Would a fully funded PhD cover dependents visa, IHS etc


My wife's expecting two fully funded PhDs and I am anticipating acceptance.
Why? Excellent undergraduate result and an MSc of 6.9/7.0 from a very topnotch federal University in Nigeria. I have deeply prayed and now I want to do my own part.


Please back to my question please. Paradventure she secures one of the two fully funded PhDs and from what I read here so far she doesn't need proof of fund and IHS.

However I as the dependent and one child. Are we covered by the funding?
Do we ( me and my daughter) both need the POF and IHS?


The major wahala is I need to prepare the POF account in advance paradventure her acceptance and CAS comes in any moment. (We dream of emigrating together)

Please I want to be lazy and wait for the outcome of the admission process. However the oversabi mediko in me wants to plan everything out in advance and it's stressing me!
Your advice would help greatly Biko.


Summary;
1) would the 2 dependents to someone offered a fully funded PhD require POF and IHS
2) Should I go now as a dependent or wait to follow my Plab pathway?


Please I have stayed too long in this "about-to-japa" pathway

Hello,

What sort of industry are you hoping to work with?

Do you want a course with an aspect of Laboratory?

More information will help

Cheers

NaughtyBrainiac:
MSc course suggestions for a graduate of Microbiology, Biochemistry please?

Kindly take into consideration Relevance of the course in the UK, Graduate Job opportunities as well as prospect of getting an employer to sponsor for a Tier 2 visa.

Thank you

Duchess90, Gloriyah et al

Hello,

Accommodation at the moment seems to be a bit of a drag across England, not sure how it is in Scotland, Wales and NI.

Target website like Zoopla, Rightmove, Open rent, sign up with letting agencies so you are contacted when accommodation is available in the market.

Bear in mind that seeing is truly believing, some pictures may be too good to be true.

You may wish to plan for an air b n b for max a month while you sort out the accommodation.

For a couple, it might be okay to go for a shared doubleroom or a studio (room, toilet/bathroom and kitchen) accommodation

Cheers

Ugmama:
Lol! Please advise how it's done over there and the one I should look at for?

You know Naija people dey stay for self-contain or facemeiface you .

Any headup (advice) on getting accommodation fast in UK for a couple.

Hello,

Please go with the original copies of all your documents

For laminated documents, make a colored copy and go with the colored copy

Cheers

Champay:
Hi people. I paid for assisted service on TLS website. Appointment is close. Am I to go with the original copies of my documents or photocopies?

Hello,

Only your dependant children

Cheers

Jubrilx3:
Hello. I want to process only mine and wifey visa application now and process kids own later. This is due to fund.

If i want to start processing the kids own will i have to have the entire money for the whole family or only the kids.

Hello,

It's not my decision to make its the OPs

Cheers

babey543:
It is better she come to UK to avoid unnecessary expenses.

Her dependant visa covers free child birth in the UK. The twins will also get UK birth certificate. When registering the twins in school, hospital and many other amenities, they will be treated as UK Citizens by people due to the UK birth certificate. Giving birth in UK does not lead to citizenship but many citizens still think so.

Once you start using visa to register your child everywhere, the children will be targeted and in school they will treat them as non citizens.

The children born in UK don't need to apply for any visa if you give birth in UK. They only need visa if they plan to go out from the UK.

If the wife worked for 26 weeks in UK before giving birth, she will get free money from the UK government. She can even work part time to benefit. This is called Maternity Allowance for nine months and it is not classified as public funds.

If the wife do not obtain visa now, she will pay hospital money in Nigeria. Very risky to give birth to twins in Nigeria due to poor medical facilities. They will also need to apply for visa for the twins to come to UK. They will also need to renew the twins visa every time before they become citizens in the UK. All these will be avoided.
