Hello,

Yes wedding pictures in addition to things like old pictures before marriage, old chats, text or emails, bills paid together ,the list is endless.

Cheers

MrMash:
Please are wedding pictures compulsory to prove legitimacy of marriage certificate/marriage?

Hello,

Your school should be able to advise.
Some will require a reference letter others may send a link to your referees to fill the details in.

It depends and again your school will guide your appropriately

Cheers

AnikeTTC:
Hello House,
Please if I submitted referee names on UK university application for admission will I request my referee to send a recommendation letter to the school?

Hello,

The result of the TB test is more important than the address to UKVI.
You should be fine submitting it just like that however if it is concern to you then you can request to change the address to the new school.i think there is a fee for it

Cheers

barongmj:
Good Evening, please if I choose a university as my address for TB test and I decide to go to another university. Can I still get my result from the initial university or I have to stick to the university I started with.

Hello

No you do not

Do I need a covid pcr test or a vaccination card before traveling to the Uk
Please I need response as soon as possible

Hello,

I think you posted this question multiple times

Anyway, regarding your US visa were you placed on ban? It seems so from the multiple refusals you have since gotten from Canada and Australia.

You have to declare this at the relevant sections during your visa application and to be honest it may or may not affect your dependant application.

2. you should remember roughly how many years after the first Canada application that you put in the second.Like @giselle237 said we can all remember or atleast estimate our applications and refusals. You could say for instance 2015 for first application and around 2017 (if you are uncertain)

3. The same applies to your Australian visa refusals, you can estimate the year. If you aren't sure of the reason, then state it as it is (i.e. unsure of the reason for refusal).But if you can track were you received a decision then please put the reason.

4. Your chances are 50/50, pray and hope this doesn't affect your application. My advice, your wife should apply first and get her visa

Finally do not blame the agent, I am sure you had an idea of what he/she was doing and approved it. It is okay, we learn, howbeit painfully.

Good luck

Cc: duchess90, Justwise and other Gurus in the house.

I need your preferred advice on this PLS.

1. I was refused US student visa 4 years ago with the reason of fake document. It happened because of the Agent I used then. Pls how will state this during my visa application as a dependent because my wife is the main applicant? What is my chance of getting dependent visa and my wife getting her own visa as main applicant?

2. Pls I was refused Canada visa for two times before but I only remember the year of the first application but I did not remember the year of application of second refusal. Pls how would I state this on my visa application?

3. I was refused Austrialia Visa before but I did not remember the date of the application at all. Pls how would I state this on my visa application?

4. Please what is my chance of getting visa as a dependent with all this?

NOTE: After all this refusal and ban, I have went to Poland with a student Visa for my MSc.

Pls quick response.

Hello,

Atleast it isn't a ban so that's good.

You can withdraw your application at anytime until a decision is made. Once a decision is made you can no longer do so

It's your decision, you can choose to leave it or cancel and start all over loosing time and funds in the process.

All the best

Viceroy4:
Wasn't stated. Just "I didn't meet up to the requirements "

Can I still cancel application at this time? Over two weeks after biometrics??

Hello,

You can either do nothing and hope for the best or cancel/withdraw your application.

Note because you have done your biometrics visa fees won't be refunded.

What was the reason for your US refusal?
Cheers

Viceroy4:
Good evening good people. Nice to be here.

I have a concern.

My wife is the principal applicant and we have two kids.

We did biometrics on d 5th of this month (may).

Concerns.

I forgot I had been rejected visa to the US some 5yrs ago and I didn't indicate it while filling my form.

Now it's two weeks down the line can I still retrieve my application
Could this affect my wife(Principal applicant and the kids) if it does affect me

Kind advice plz.

@homesinabuja

There's nothing he can do unless he wants to cancel his application and reapply. They won't refund visa fees though

homesinabuja:
Another lie
How will you forget you had a visa rejection
We are not kids here please!
I am just bothered about your wife
Duchess, please answer

Hello,

Have you checked the schools site or sent an email to the African rep?

I do know you have to pay £4000 deposit and get that up to £8000 before you enrol.

I'll confirm the rest of the details later today

Cheers

Teeclassic01:
Anyone with ideas on Coventry installmental payment plan for two years courses? Please tell!

Hello,

Nairaland may represent only a fraction of the people that get student visa's from Nigeria and only a fraction of different experiences at the border.Waiting for anyone to confirm your no 1 question may not happen and may not be true.If people say it hasn't happened doesn't mean it doesn't happen and vice versa

Besides, is the funds not supposed to be for your study? Spending it should be towards studying.

Can we all try to avoid the discussions around POFs/sourcing/interest on this public forum? It is important

Cheers

eniola1010:
It has not been explicitly answered.
Some people are saying you should keep it till you enter uk
Some people are saying keep it till you get visa

Hello,

Look back at the thread, honest answers plus some calculations have been given.

Cheers

Bestyyyy:
Please I have a question for the gurus in the house.

With a net worth of about 6m naira and support from friends to assist with POF for visa application, is it enough for a single person to travel to the UK for masters degree? Considering the fact that a student can’t work full time

I need your honest answers please.[color=#990000][/color]

Hello,

Visa refusals are for the UK and any other country, so include them on your visa application.

If you can't remember then state so, be honest.

Cheers

oluwaleokey:

Hello,

Before you get confused with the information on the first page, you should crack on getting your admission sorted.

If you have,then what stage are you at so we can advise?

Cheers

Gift7428:
So guys my husband has finally agreed to sponsor me oh. This is a big miracle for me as Oga hates abroad
But reading the first page got me confused, the graduate visa and student visa thing

1. So how much is student visa for me and 2 dependents.
2. Maintenance for me.( outside London)
3. Maintenance for my dependent
4. IHS for me and my dependents

The first page got me confused
I checked online and saw Student Visa at £348
Please help

Hello,

No,it won't affect your application, as long as the first and last name is correct you should be fine.
Middle names are just optional, plus you have the affidavit/newspaper publication ( which is not necessary in my opinion)

Going forward ensure your details are the same as it appears on your passport

Cheers

DamiVine:
Hello guys,
Really appreciate the good work being done here. Thank you so much @justwise and everyone.

I have an issue with name. My personal bank account has a different middle name from my international passport (which has same name as my school documents). Although I have an affidavit and newspaper publication to that effect, declaring I am the same person.

Will this affect me when I apply for Form A and show POF for visa?

If yes, what can I do to remedy this as I just got a conditional offer from RGU?

Thanks in advance for all the responses.

Hello,

No it won't raise a red flag and Yes she can carry her daughter along.

For her daughter's application she should submit additional documents like birth certificate, her late father's death certificate which automatically gives you custody, in addition to maintenance funds (as usual)

Because she is 17years, you have to proof that she is not leaving an independent life, see attached an evidence you can submit for this, if she lives with you,a letter from her college should suffice

Once she turns 18, she is no longer minor and no longer your dependant

Cheers

Teeclassic01:
Hi house. A sister intends to travel on students visa. She has two children in her current marriage and hopes to take them along. However, in her first marriage to her first husband who is now late, she had a daughter who is 17 years old now. Her daughter doesn't carry her current husband's name. And she intends to take this her daughter along as well. Will this raise a red flag? How can she go about it? Thanks.

Interesting,

I knew that was the case during Covid, and didn't double check to see if that has changed, i guess I followed @gloriyah's earlier advise on 30day's vignette without confirming.Thanks for that correction.

Anyway,back to the the OPs questions, it's still too early with 90days from August,that will be sometime in November, will it expire before or after her dependant finishes exams? It's up to the OP to decide.

Safe to say, the same advise is valid

Cheers

Gigli:
Entry Vignette for student visa as at January 2022 intake was 3 months...90days and no update or change to that yet

Hello,

Yes you can but the entry vignette (or stamp) will be for 30days (1month),unless you want him to abandon his A levels exams.

My advise, apply when he has finished his exams in November and no you don't need to attach his exam details

Cheers

Iranoladun:
Hello House,

I have been offered admission for September and intend to travel in August by GOd's grace but my son will be finishing his A'level (Cambridge) by November. Can I apply for his visa now at the same time that I'm applying for mine and then he travel to join me in November at the end of his exam?

If yes do I need to attached his A' level exam registration document or ordinary explanation in the application form suffice? He is a minor.

Your help will be appreciated.

Hello,

POF is for your dependant (son) only.

Cheers

Bosun1985:
Guru in the house,please kindly help me out on this.
I entered UK with my wife in January on student visa but our son is still in Nigeria.we are planning to apply for his visa next month.
As regards to the POF,will the POF cover him or the entire family?
Please i need your candid advise.

Smiles

It was a petition he signed not his PSW

Cheers

femredhead:
It was turned down because you didn't follow the rules and regulations !

You can't extend post graduate work visa,you have to switch to skilled work visa before psw visa expiration.

Hello,

This again has been addressed before,she should apply with her maiden name.

Marriage certificate and proof of relationship is important and should be submitted

Cheers

shady45:
Hello guys,

Please does my wife need to have her name changed to my surname on her passport before we can apply for her as a dependant? Her current passport has her own name.

We just did the newspaper publication and affidavit for change of name, and national ID.

Why I asked this is because, the time taken to have a change of name on her passport is too long and we are getting close to visa application date.

Please help.

Hello,

Yes that is correct.

Cheers

Omoluv5:
Again please, I heard if we don't apply and leave with the kids from the beginning, we'll be required to present POF for all the months up until we come for them. How true please?

Thanks

@giselle237

giselle237:
you are correct. The amount of money someone will save in a place like Leeds in comparison to London is no child’s play.. leave them to be saying go anywhere your husband wants. London and outside London cost of living are not the same.. not close. Run from London if you can. Expenses are triple. Other cities have opportunities too. Who and who said opportunities only exist in london. My God
. She will be in school as well, let financial hardship not meet you in London the marriage will scatter the more

Hello,

Yes you should be able to do so at TLS.
They will advise you when you get there.

Cheers

Hanzzyyy:
HELLO, Just Booked TLS appointment ABUJA, Couldn't pay for COURIER SERVICE RETURN on their site, (8,000)
I tried using 3 different cards but it keeps saying Unable to Complete transaction, so I booked it like that, Can I Pay for the Courier Return at TLS office when I go to Biometrics @justwise @duchess90 or anyone help.
Thanks

Hello,

Is the appointment for one or 2.

If you want to take that risk, pray there isn't any crowd and they can attend to you without a booking.

You have to make the payment first though,get that sorted

Cheers

Ajiboyehify:
Any one please??

Hello @Ogbenioptional

I like your sense of reasoning. It takes 2 to tangle.

Cheers

OgbeniOptional:
Ma’am, I understand your point and it’s true to some extent but I will never frustrate my wife cuz she suggest something good that I’m not in agreement with. Thank God you said she has a point. This is not a matter of life and death nah. I’m not suggesting she should ever go against her husband wishes, if she has a point, then It won’t be nice on her and the kids just because the “Head of the house” want it. What’s the essence of her brains if the head of the house will always want to be right?

Hello,

I agree with @Giselle,

London is too expensive, there are opportunities any and everywhere in the UK.

Plus I am not a fan so this is a purely bias opinion.

Cheers

Fazh25:

Hello

Yes you can

Cheers

Newbie123:
Guys, please for study gap, can i use my employment letters instead of reference letters?

Hello,

No, you can apply for them when you want and travel with them whenever you are ready

Cheers

Omoluv5:
Good day house. Please pardon me cause I know this must have been answered here b4, just confused.
My question is-

Is it an issue if both parents apply for the student visa and leave first before coming for the kids later, say after 4 months? Are there any risks?

Thanks

Hello

Yes you can, the husband (sponsor) should ensure he provides a cover letter saying the POF is available for his wife

Cheers

Godrescues:
Hello House,

I so much appreciate the sharing of info here .

Please I want to know if one can use funds in a joint account of sponsor ( husband) and dependant ( wife) as POF? Or should the dependant just open a personal account and move the POF there.
The joint account is in both names and they share the same surname.

Hello,

Let me try to answer this.

1. Your IHS will be for a full year( if the applicants study is less than one year but more than 6months)

2. The maintenance fund for dependants will be £680 X 9months even when the course duration left is less than 6months

Cheers

quote author=femredhead post=112854702]


@Thank you Justwise.

But you didn't answer my questions,let me explain again.

The main applicant is already in UK spent close to 6months for a year course with visa validity of 16months.

According to the previous response to my question was that the dependant(s) must join 6months before the completion of 12months (excluding 4months additional time).

So,how do one calculate the IHS and maintenance fee? IHS for one year (£470) or 6months (£235)?

And maintenance fee, is it i.e £1,023 multiply by 6 or 9?

Have searched but not get the answer.

Thanks.[/quote]

Hello,

She ideally needs to present her bank statement showing the POF for her and dependants in the account for 28-30days.
So if you haven't started counting please do so now, you can't apply for your visa until have fulfilled this condition.

You can use your statement, I think spouses can also sponsor, you should include a cover letter saying you are sponsoring her studies when she applies.

Cheers

adeptonlin:
Good morning Nairalanders,

My wife applied to Coventry University for MSc midwifery and new born.
She has gotten CAS number.
When should I start counting her Proof of fund to apply for visa?
Can I use my own statement of account for her as I and my daughter will be her Dependants in the application?
