Hello,

Why is the husband worrying, the omission is middle name right?

Please apply as it is , you may wish to include an affidavit to it which is alot faster

I don't see where the concern is


Cheers

deedat205:
Hello everyone. Please I need advice on a situation. Has anyone dealt with passport name problem?
I know a lady planing to come to the UK as a Tier 4 dependant, her husband filled her full name during his Visa application before he left. Now she got her passport and it has just her name and surname without middle name (I still don't understand how the middle name was omitted, my first time seeing a passport with just two names). The money for Proof of funds will be 28 days ending of June. Her husband has less than 6 months on his Visa and is running out on time. They are so confused, rectifying the name on the passport will take about 2 months (so they say).
Please has anyone had similar experience?
What can be done at this point?
Visa application now takes about 6 weeks.
The husband wants to apply for post study Visa and the dependant must be in the UK at least 3 months before submitting the application.

Thanks

Hello,

No it shouldn't,

At the time you worked with them they were registered with CAC, now they are not and it's not your fault.

I won't worry too much

Cheers

SPARKAMANI:
. Hello duchess , please i need your take on this.

I worked in a school from 2014- til date! I summited the reference letter and offer letter. But schools in nigeria are no longer registered under CAC since march. Would that be a problem??

Hello,

Do a quick YouTube search on credibility interview and tailor your answers to your school/course

Cheers

Collins4u1:
I will be having a credibility interview next tomorrow with my school, what should I be expecting from them?

Hello,

Why would they be concerned about sender's name? If that is how you operate your account that's fine

Cheers

Susky:
Pls help, am a bit worried, if this called for a concern, some one i know sent 30k to me yesterday and it shows 000307086403/QR/Q20655765093 TRF JAMES in my account statement. Does it matter? is it possible for ukvi to ask why there is no name from the sender?

Hello,

Your gaps are less than 5years.

Yiu shouldn't worry

Cheers

Eddibloc:
Thanks for your replyas always..yes, I just got one now with may date pushing for another before my visa application. Can I use both to replace the gaps...cause I don't have any official job since graduation

Anticipating your reply, thanks

Hello

1. You will need either employment or reference letters

2. The courses you did were only for 2019, these certificates won't cover all study gaps

Cheers

Gooci:
Pls I need clarification this.

I am still expecting admission offers from the universities I applied, but I want to be clear with this study gap thing and employment reference.

I finished my degree in 2012, that means I have a study gap of 11years as I am going for january intake.
Although am in the UAE and I have residence stickers on my passport carrying my employment details from 2015 till this moment. I have worked with 3 different companies and it evident on my passport because I have their employment details on my residence stickers on my passport.

Do I need to get a reference letter or the residence stickers are enough. I have lost employment offer letter from the two previous companies, but I still have employment offer letter from my current employer and letter of promotion as well.

Employer 1.... 2015-2018
Employer 2.... 2018-2020
Emploer 3..... 2020-till date

I also did some courses back in 2019 like Nebosh IGC, IoSh MS, ISO 45001 which are all UK courses. Does this cover for study gap in any way?

If I have to get a reference letter from 2 previous companies, they will do me strong thing( cause I had force my way out because employers in UAE just want you to stay with them and not make progress).

My current empoyer is cool, they are all uk guys and we have good relationship, but I dont want to let them I wan japa because they have good plans for me. I just wan Japa from UAE because this one UAE govt are doing Nigerian VIsas like Nepa now, I dont want to be affected my it at all.

Hello

Just seeing my error, I quoted the wrong figure, sleep been dey my eye

You are absolutely correct

Cheers

chkb:
Is ihs no longer 705pounds?
Is the visa fee same for both main applicant and dependant?

Hello,

Is that an error?

Ideally it shouldn't,but I would say do an affidavit to be safe.

Cheers

Obalola147:
Please the day(08) of my Date of Birth on WAEC is different from the day (20th) on my Passport, I hope there will be no problem.

Hello

For child dependant both MA and the other parent should sign please.

Cheers

isialo:
Please who signs and uploads the Consent UKVI forms 1 and 3. Does the MA sign them and upload the forms for the dependant. Please assist kindly.

Hello

You shouldn't be too worried with a study gap less than 5years.

To answer your question, I would say that can suffice as it is still learning. But those certificates should have dates on them aligning to the gaps

Cheers

Eddibloc:
Hello house...

Please respond..does online certifications cover study gaps? Maybe someone had 4 years study gap. Will certifications online cover those gaps?

Hello,

But these a questions a quick Google search can answer plus the links are on the first page

IHS is £470 per year the visa duration is more than a year that's why you have £705. Use link https://www.gov.uk/healthcare-immigration-application/how-much-pay

Dependants visa is £490


Just seeing my error, I quoted the wrong figure . Sleep been dey my eye.

You are absolutely correct

Cheers

chkb:

Hello,

Not sure what good number of installments means at the bolded

Anyway,have a look at the first page of the thread and do some Google on the course you will like to study and the schools offering them

Have a list of questions we can then hopefully help answer

Cheers.

Topccy007z:
Hello house, please I'm a complete novice about this UK study thing. I need help concerning affordable schools that are itch free and will agree on a good number of installments for the fees. I'm targeting Jan 2023 admission. Thanks.

Hello

During visa application.

However some schools may request them during admission processes.When you are issued CAS it means you have fulfilled all the conditions the school requires


Cheers

Happyfellow147:
Please I want to ask, where does reference letter and appointment letter for study gap apply?
During visa application and processing or during CAS issuance from school?

@duchess @Gloriyah @justwise

Hello


After June 28

Cheers

Happyfellow147:
@duchess please explain this to me.

I'm building my proof of funds and it will mature by June 28

When should I apply for Visa?
quote author=duchess90 post=113643650]Hello,

I know it can be quite confusing but I agree with others have said. All documents including POFs should be ready (altleast 28days) before application is made.

Here is a screenshot from Gov.UK website on this anology, it explains better.

Cheers

Hello

Visa fee is £363

IHS for student is £470

Canterbury is in Kent, outskirts of London

Cheers

Ugmama:
Guys I don't understand the actual amount for VISA and IHS anymore. Someone should assist with the currect amount for both.

Does it increase like prices of things in Nigerian market?

Secondly, is Canterbury in London or outside London?

@justwise @Gloriyah @Duchess

Hello,

No, reputation doesn't guarantee visa will be granted. Student visa application is straightforward as it is point based ,as long as all the documents required are provided and genuine (verifiable), you should be fine

University of Bedfordshire has the license to sponsor student visa so that's fine


Cheers

Jay5mie:
Please house, does school reputation determine if the embassy would grant you visa or not? I got an admission from Bedfordshire uni and I'm worried if the reputation of the school is high enough to be granted easy visa before paying a deposit of 4.5mil naira(65% of total fees).

Helloz

They are asking for your bank statement not letter.

Cheers

Alliswell123:
Guys pls I need reference letter format to authorize uk embassy to use main applicant POF for depandent

@Duchess, @gloriyah. @justwise

Thanks

Hello,

Yes you can defer your admission at anytime

I remember you were working with Lendwise, did it not work out?

I can only give a breakdown for Cranfield, hopefully someone will for Aberdeen

My advise on cost of living is to stay off-campus preferably Cranfield village or Bedford,Milton Keynes is slightly more expensive. There a job opportunities to keep you going at the city centre but not necessarily enough to pay fees as you know Cranfield is quite expensive

With jobs it depends on what you studied, Cranfield has a lot of links with industries,how you access those links and connects is up to you.



Cheers

angel4sure:
Good day everyone. Pls is it possible to defer admission in Cranfield university.

Also between Cranfield university and university of Aberdeen, pls which is better to choose in terms of Job opportunities before and after graduation, and cost of living.

Hello

This is completely wrong, If they go on with the process I hope they get caught and banned.

You are encouraging sham marriage and cheating the system

Too bad

Cheers

Wealthinwealth1:
@justwise and every expert in the house, please HELP ME TREAT AS URGENT.

I and my wife have been trying to help my brother inlaw and his family come join us in the UK, issue came up between him and his wife and we couldnt continue the process. Someone came up with a match up deal, i.e he act as a husband to a lady who already had admission. It's something that came up suddenly and I kind of not liking the fast process cos it doesnt gimme time to think over it and alot of money is involved. My issue with it is

they both have kids as single parent, what happen to the kids? Cos both will like to bring thier kids. Isnt it gonna be an issue? And wont they suspect theres a foul play?

I dont want all this rush and I dont want something that will put my family in distress

Hello,

As others have responded it should be fine

Cheers.

Kunleop:
Thank you for this write up, pls we are talking only about church certificate, what of Muslim marriage certificate, as I did my nikkah in march, I was issued a marriage cert but no coat of army on it, also it doesn't carry marriage certificate number, Although the association was incorporated .But I have pictures of our nikkah and some other pics to show our marriage is genuine, we are doing newspaper publication tomorrow and going to court for affidavit.

@duchess90 @Gloriyah @@Giselle237

Hello

You have less than 5years study gap so you defend your study gap

You doing an NYSC is your decision


Cheers

Augustine073:
duchess good morning and thanks for the good works i want to inquire about my study gap and employment issue I graduated 2019 and i have a business but its not registered will that be a problem for my study visa. Do i have to get my nysc done so as to show as employment to cover my study gap
Thanks

@Giselle237

It seems the whole marriage certificate thing has recently started becoming an issue.

I spoke to a Judge about this recently to get her opinion.
Apparently,there are churches that are licensed to conduct marriage and will have a different type of certificate (with the Nigerian coat of arms)

The full circle is that after church wedding with the other unlicensed churches, they are supposed to bring that certificate along with some forms to the registry to get another certificate with details from the unlicensed church certificate.

But she mentioned most people don't go full circle and only do notice of marriage in court, church (unlicensed) and trad.

She mentioned the no of churches alone some are not even verifiable so may even go as far as conducting sham marriages

I had also assumed the additional documents to proof relationship should suffice when applying for visa but it doesn't always seem so

I am uncertain as to why this has now been picked up as being an issue.

My thoughts

Cheers

giselle237:
As long as the marriage is recognised in your home country, it will be recognised by UKVI. Your marriage should be genuine and subsisting. Your certificate is fine as long as it is genuine. The visa office has different prototypes of certificates and never insist on registry cert or any kind of certificate. They just want to be sure the relationship is not a farce. Seal of state is fine.

Hello,

This is spot on

Cheers

nodetest:
Thank for the response. It does not have the coat of arms, but it has the seal of the state. See the picture attached

Hello,

Meanwhile the highlighted was it climate change COP26 at Glasgow or a different COP?

No wonder you are a scholar

Cheers

heroshark:
I think it does hasten the process considerably, once you tick yes and input your reference number, they can confirm it on their system as they have the data handy. There is absolutely no need of trying to verify your POF, sending NSF to query about your study gap or work experience which can take significant amount of time.

They know that the scholarship committee shortlisted the brightest talents.

PS: I applied for UK visit visa last year October using the COP26 route, my visa fee was waved and my application processed in 5 working days even when I didn't pay for any priority service.

Hello,

He would if he doesn't declare it the second time assuming he got by the first time

Cheers

Davidandgo:
Thanks for your response Duchess.

This surely would make things a lot easier but does it not connote misrepresentation of facts? That’s his main worry.

Hello,

More like benefits of being a scholar
You do have a point though

Hello

Thanks for providing this information

There is a section but it doesn't mean it hasten anything
The documents needed from people with these scholarships are not the same as the others.

Marshall scholarship is also UK/International

Very helpful to read..Thanks

Cheers

heroshark:
During your visa application you see an option that asks if you are a recipient of either the Marshall, Chevening or Commonwealth scholarship.

I think the Marshall is for US students. But the Chevening and Commonwealth is applicable to Nigerians.
