Hello,

From my understanding, delivery will be covered by your wife's IHS

Your new borns will enjoy 3months free NHS and then after that you will need to pay the IHS for them to continue enjoying NHS services.

Whilst they are here they do not need to apply for visa however if you leave and need to re-enter then you need to pay visa fees and IHS for the remaining date left

Bear in mind please that you are not entitled to public funds and they are not citizens by birth.

Again the decision is yours

Others can add

Congratulations

Am the MA you mean am going to still pay for my twins ihs once my wife deliver right?

Hello

Yippee twins

Who is the main applicant?

How far gone is she?

IHS is only for you and your born dependants not the ones still baking in the tummy

Giving birth in the UK doesn't add to anything, there is no citizenship by birth so it will depend on what she wants.

Bear in mind you might need to sort out things like passport when you are returning to Nigeria if you still decide to go to the UK

More information will hopefully help, again the decision is entirely you and yours to make

Cheers

Cjaylawson:
I just find out now that my wife is pregnant with twins Tru scan will our ihs be sufficient and secondly can she have d baby in UK den come back to Nigeria to spend some month in Nigeria before going back to UK pls duchess justwise and all d gurus in d house should advice me pls

Hello,

Not at all

And no it doesn't affect PS visa

Cheers

nodetest:
Hello

Please does a dependent have to live full time in the Uk, or can he/she still be working in Nigeria and visiting the Uk periodically.

Will this shuttling to and fro be an issue in case they are applying for the post study visa when the MA graduates.

Thanks

Hello,

Please count 24hrs after


Also although it is minimum 28days to avoid miscalculating target 29-30days minimum


Cheers

lavida001:
Please duchess if I deposited pof at 12 pm on 1st of June will the 28th day start counting from the 1st or will the day 1 be counted after 24hrs. Please answer make person no go do silly mistake

Hello,

Can they reissue another addressed to UKVI?
If not,the one you have should be fine


Cheers

Dmcool:
Hi guys, can the reference letter from my employer addressed to my school can also be used for Visa to cover study gap??

Hello,


The decision has been made

The rest is generic basically saying they can't give further details since it is a paid mail (i.e whether it is approved or refused and/or when you will receive an update on your passport being ready).They have access to limited information

It should end well, and you hopefully will get an update on passport collection with a visa vignette

Cheers

Alliswell123:
Hello guys

I(main applicant) received collection mail yesterday but dependant is yet to receive, so yesterday dependant sent a paid mail and today we received “decision has been made” but in the last 2 paragraphs they wrote something which we don’t understand;

“Please note the information given to you on the progress of an
application is dependent on the details you provide, and we
can only provide the progress updates based on the application
reference number given.
We do not have access to specific case information and so
progress updates could be subject to change. Please wait for
formal contact or a decision letter before taking any further
steps.”

Note that earlier this week(Monday) dependant received nsf asking for pof which we sent on following day.

@gloriyah, @duchess, @justwise n others pls help
Thanks

Hello

That should be perfect then,

They should include your name and student ID in the reference when the payment is made so the school can match your records

Cheers.

olaoye15:
Hey Duchess.
Thank you for your advise. The person is a friend he will have to make the payment and send me a confirmation before crediting his naija account.

I can also ask my brother to do it.

Hello,

They will be focused on September intakes.

For January 2023, target end of September or start of October 2022

Cheers

Sakol4life:
Please which month does uk universities likely give jan intake applicants admission

I've applied since May and no response yet?

Hello,

Yes, but this will depend on the visa vignette date on your passports.
As long as they arrive the UK before it expires then that should be fine.

When your visa and that of your dependants are out, you can make a decision

Cheers

Cjaylawson:
Hello gurus I want to ask if it's possible for me and my 2 dependants to get visa at the same time but they join me 3 months after I travel to UK as a main applicant so that I can arrange their accomodation within that 3 months in UK is it possible?

Hello,

It is quite risky, if you do find someone make sure it is a person you know and trust so you don't get scammed.

4grand is no joke


Cheers

olaoye15:
Hello Great Poeple. ..

Yesterday, I received a conditional offer for Msc in IT Project Management at Teesside for Jan. I am required to pay a tution deposit of 4000.

I don't want to go through the stress of form A as observed on the platform. Therefore, can someone in the UK pay this deposit on my behalf?

Thank you great people.

Hello

@Msmo you seem to be still concerned about this.

Maybe I can share, I have cancelled my mum's visit visa once because of an error. This was cancelled before her biometrics in the US. I got refunded a week after.

It should be fine

Cheers

MsMo:
Please o, who has successfully gotten a refund from UKVI after cancelling application.

Hello,

Could be an error,

You could either repeat the process and see if it corrects itself or you can proceed.

if you decide to proceed, another link will be sent to you to pay the IHS for the dependants once the error is spotted

Cheers

adeptonlin:
Good morning house, I'm currently filling my UK visa form for myself, spouse and our kid.
I stated that we are traveling together.
On getting to the IHS page, it's showing No dependant.
Someone should please direct me on how to go about this?

Hello,

The word 'enter' used in this context was referring to when their passport/visa will arrive,if you read through the OPs questions and my response

Cheers

Iranoladun:
I don’t think Dependants can enter Uk before main applicant

Congratulations

Belfast is beautiful.

Cheers

Visa Alert
I have been a silent reader of this trend and it really made me to avoid so many mistakes

Biometric 27th ikeja
Dependant application as wifey(MA) already traveled since Feb
Sent paid email 7th of June and laid email response 8th of June that a decision have been taken,that first of all calm my nerves
NOTE: I started my POF 14th march and printed it on the 35th day due to some of my documents that was being delayed which actually increased the the credibility of the account as said by a professional
15th June collection mail
17th collected my passport
You need to me searching for visa vignette stamp

Things I found out on this application
I sent paid email and my visa was approved same day I sent paid email 7th june even after doing biometric 27th April
Another thing that made me scared was in 2007 I was refused uk student visa(kindly note it was not on misinformation nor deception) but I totally forgot to include it in my application ,that got me so scared as someone here have said she was ban for 10yrs for not declaring previous denial but after asking someone they said ECO might just frown at it that's where God's favor comes
Truly I was favor
I left my POF from 14th march until 17th June when I picked my visa yesterday
Guys pls from my story I did my biometric 27th Apr and visa issue date is 7 June,so. Pls always try and leave funds no matter how long your application is taking
All way leads to Belfast soon,
I finally escaped this Naija hell fire especially lekki express traffic
All awaiting visas I pray for speed in Jesus Name
A big thank you to Dichess90 for the paid email link,it really helped

Hello,

I am not sure I understand the question

Could you rephrase and ask?

Cheers

Udeej:
@duchess90
Please what would you suggest, when MA is yet to secure accommodation due to his right to work (student) and Dependents are waiting to join him as visa has started counting,even when he offers to pay upfront? Please advise,thank you.
Kindly note: the other dependent is a baby.

Hello,

Nope you have to make deposit

That secures your places in the Uni

Cheers

Mallamai:
I have been following this thread for like forever, I finally decided to apply to tree side university even though someone said it was a bad idea. I got the admission and was told to make deposit. Is it possible to show just pof without making the initial deposit to accept the admission.

Hello,

They will refund the IHS automatically.

Cheers

MsMo:
Thank you. I already cancelled the application. And they said they are reviewing the request. Please do you know if they’ll refund both my application fee and IHS or do I have to apply separately for the IHS refund

Hello,

Both Visa and IHS will be refunded

Cheers

MsMo:
Please, I made a mistake on my application and I cancelled it. Will I still retain the old IHS fee or is it both they will refund in 28days?

Hello,

You will need to cancel the dependants too.

You have to link and match Dependants details with MAs

Cheers

roswell:
Pls I need someone’s help! I made an error on my application form so I cancelled and reapplied. My issue now is my dependents application form has the gw number of the cancelled form. What do I do? Will a cover letter suffice? It’s been a very long day battling application online. Such a hectic process. I’m almost in tears alone for the money spent. I hope I get a refund asap

Hello,

If you apply and pay for your visa without your 28days minimum count you are setting yourself for a refusal or an NSF requesting for an up to date (not repeated printout) statement.

Cheers

MsMo:
Please I’ll like to ask, my pof won’t me matured until 28th of this month. Can I pay for my visa ahead so I can pick an earlier date rather than wait till 28th, so far I don’t upload my documents?

Thanks @Justwise

Wonder why that happened

It's back up now

Cheers

justwise:
Try again now, you were banned by spambot

Hello,

I don't see why you should worry about anything you stated here

Hope you provided documents to show study gap.

Cheers

Senpurelove:
Good Morning All,

Please i need a little clarification on the subject matter.

We are family of 4 Myself ,My wife and two daughters and my wife has applied for an admission into one of the uk universities.
CAS has been given, Biometric Done in Abuja.
But my little fear are as follows:

She has a study gap of 17 years but she is still with in 40years of age. She has a working experience of 15 years with 13 years working experience as a federal civil servant while the other two years was in a teaching Job.

My second fear is that she had her first degree in french Language and she is now going for a master in International Business Mgt.

Is there anything to worry about on the above?

Thanks

Hello,

Yes it can

Cheers

jtgpt:
Can the reference letter from my employer (used to cover for study gap) be addressed to ' whom it may concern'?
This is incase I need it for other purposes.

Thank you.

Hello

It's on the border of 5years gap.

I'll say No

But prepare them,just incase a NSF mail is sent requesting them.

Cheers

Bukunmi19:
please i graduated 2017, will i still need recommendation letter for visa because it has not exceeded 5 years study gap. thank you

Hello,

If you are early enough and there is no crowd. It should be same day

Cheers

ignis:
Please how long does TB test result take? I thought it's same day.

I just started counting my 28 days for POF too.
I'm hoping to travel for TB test and biometric same period.

Hello

Not necessarily but it is always good to keep an updated record.

Especially if other documents needed for your visa application(e.g bank statement and TB test) carry a different address.

You can always send an email to update the school so all addresses try to align

Cheers

chkb:
Hello house does address on offer letter matter for visa application, cos i just moved to a new place, do i need to inform the school to change my address. @duchess

Hello

I just responded

Cheers

chkb:
Abeg someome should ansa

Hello

At the moment HSBC do not request for proof of address if you just got to the country. Your student status letter is sufficient.


Maybe you had a bad experience or unnecessary delay.

Again it isn't rocket science

Cheers

AlphaUno:
Yeah, not rocket science but what’s stated on paper is quite different from what obtains in the real world especially if you don’t have the proof of address.
Or how do you get a proof of address to use when you don’t even have accommodation?

Hello

I responded

Cheers

lovetext:
Please someone should answer this please

Hello

TB test has not correlation to when POF, so no

2. Your school will tell you when your last date of resumption is, as long as you keep them updated on your visa application stages that should be fine.
Perhaps when applying for TB test,try to let them know it is Urgent

Cheers

Yampotatocarrot:
Good day, please, I haven't done my TB test but I want to start counting for my POF, hope there's no problem with that?

Also, is it possible to get a close date for TB test seeing my Resumption date is August? (Although I plan to write the school to allow me resume September)

For those that have paid for tuition using FormA, please was it same day you were debited that your school got the money??

Hello

Not doing/finishing your NYSC doesn't have any effect on your visa application.

But it will if you need to take up leadership positions in Nigeria in future.Since you have started serving why don't you finish and then go for your Masters.

UK is not running

Cheers

lovetext:
Duchess I need your advice
I am currently serving in the nysc but I intend to apply for January intake next year to study in the uk with intention to ditch my nysc
I want to ask will that affect my visa application negatively or should I just wait and apply after I finish my nysc
Please I'd love your responses thank you quote author=duchess90 post=113863653]Hello,

Dependants will apply separately on the same link (you can check the first page of the thread)

During the application,the GWF no for MA will be inputted. That is the link

Cheers

Hello,

Well if they need it they will request for it before issuing your CAS.

Have it ready

Cheers

chkb:
I filled the cas shield form without uploading my maintenance bank statement since it was not on asterisk * should i have done that?
