Urgent Questions Pls, i want to book my tb test for my wife as a dependant ,
1,. Can i use school address for her as a Uk address?
2. Visa type ..... its settlement and dependant ?

Hello

Thanks for pointing it out, that read last Friday in my eyes.

@OP please be patient, contact UKVI when it's past the 15days decision wait time and request for escalation at that point if you haven't heard from them.


In general, we all need to be a bit patient with the timeline. Keep your Uni's informed so they explore options with late resumption/ enrollment should it be needed


Cheers

Yemmymo:
The Friday is this context is not 3 days ago but about 11 days ago.

Some people who applied on same 21st July have actually gotten visa and its standard

Hello

Yes you can use the MAs email

2. If you depend on him financially then yes, it has nothing to do with the MAs bank statement


Cheers

EPEAKS:
We want to apply for our children's Dependant Visa. Can we use MA's email address and the same password he used for UKVI or we need to open a separate e-mail for these minors who are under 8 years?

Secondly, I will be using MA's bank statement to apply. Does he need to add me as his Dependant who will rely on his finances??

I know these may have already been answered but I cannot find where.

Hello

I don't understand

You did your biometrics on Friday and expect a response Monday today?? On a standard application??

You are even asking for an NSF

I mean, can we all chill


Cheers

fablyn1010:
We (MA and dependent) did our biometrics on the 21st of July been Friday on the Tracker it says DMC received then No text No email No NSF( at least to know whether I should provide more documents) .

Should I be worried?
Wait more or Do a paid call to know what’s wrong .
I did standard service Ikeja TLS

Hello

You submitted your documents which were scanned

Whether it is striked or marked you shouldn't be worried about that.


Your documents have been sent, these nitty gritty details are irrelevant and mean nothing to the outcome


Cheers

Sandrylala:
God bless you for this. So it is normal the checklist is like that ?. Because the lady even stappled the copy of my passport bio page to the checklist and said i would bring it for passport collection. And i submitted Cas for scanning and I'msure she scanned everything because i watched her do it. Just on the checklist the sponsor evidencewas striked not marked for original or copy

Hello

You shouldn't be

Cheers

Sandrylala:
Good morning everyone.
I have done my bio last week but yesterday i took a good look at the Tls checklist and discovered the Sponsor evidence is Striked as well as travel and resident document. But i submitted CAS and Passport, assisted service.
Is it how it should be?. I'm worried.

Hello

Then it shouldn't be a concern

Cheers

EconFinance:
It is my account

It's an account where I have been making periodic transfers into for years now

Hello

Yes please


Include the student copy of results


Cheers

gthots:
Thank you for your prompt response, I appreciate it.

Please when you say tax document is it for the company or the individual?

Also, the applicant started a Distance Learning MBA in 2021 and has written the last 4 papers in June 2023 but waiting for the final result. Can this be included to support the study gap? Kindly note that there is no official transcript just student copy results for the last 4 semesters.

The proposed course of study is MSc Entrepreneurship and Innovation.

Hello

Use an up to date statement from 21st June till date


Cheers

missetuk:
Good day all,
My school requested for POF before issuing CAS,
I sent them a statement of account from the 21st of June to 20th of July.
CAS was issued in the 26th. My appointment is for biometrics is for the 2nd. Can I print a more recent statement or should I upload same thing that was sent to the school

Hello

Optional


Usually,the ECO will request to see the MAs statement to confirm the funds were not recycled and yes it has to be up to date

If you do decide to submit both include a cover letter to explain what SOA refers to your dependant

Remember your POF is for your study/use in the UK


Cheers

Yemmymo:
Hello

@duchess and everyone

Please does MA need to submit updated SOA at the point of dependent application, even though dependent's POF was running when MA submitted their application?

Hello

1. If it is stated in your CAS then upload it

2. The address is insignificant, your affidavit to correct your date of birth is more important,upload that too

Cheers

awesinic:
greetings everyone! @ Duchess

is it really required/compulsory for one to upload second school certificate (Waec/ Neco) among the documents to be uploaded during application?

there's an error on my waec result on date of birth, i had corrected it with affidavit long time back, just now again i discovered the Address on it them is different for what have been using now also for the application.

so i option not to upload it and however i need to check if it's really necessary or not.

your kind response!

Hello

Is it your account?

If you need to make financial transactions please do so


Cheers

EconFinance:
Dear Partners

Will it be problematic if I keep sending monies into my account that I want to use the statements for POF?..

Because that's what I have been doing
But it's small sums of money

Hello

You will need a physical card at TLS

Cheers

tolats:
Thank you for your prompt response. The application has been submitted already and there’s no way the priority could be added, at least I’m not seeing it on the TLS portal again. That’s why we’ve decided to add it at the TLS centre. I may be wrong though. Will physical card be needed or just the card details to make the payment? A pound debit card is available but not physically. What do you advice?

Hello

Not needed

Just your company registration and tax documents

Cheers

gthots:
So for one with a study gap with proof of registered business, will there be any need to share extensive details with the ECO about the activities of the company? For example, sharing links to social media pages or channels where services (e-books & online classes) of the business can be purchased.

Any guidance or advice is welcome

Hello

1. You can upload your documents at TLS and pay for assisted service

In my opinion , being separated is not a legal status,you are still legally married if you aren't divorced. You can't have your wife's details on previous visa application and submit a different name as unmarried partner

I will still proceed to advise below when you get it right:

Include the birth certificate of your children to show the unmarried partner is their mother

With your partner you have to provide enough evidence to show your relationship is substantial, these should include bills paid together,rent ,joint statement etc.

If their mother is refused the kids will automatically be refused.

Back to my initial point, separated doesn't say anything about your legal status.


Cheers

odi1278:
Dear team

Thanks for all you do and responding to all questions.
I have two questions
1. I just submitted my application but yet to do biometrics. Please can I still upload documents as I missed about two documents (reference letter from previous employer to cover for gap, nysc certificate, birth certificate of my dependants and more chats) that I should’ve submitted. I did self service.
2. I got separated but not divorced yet, I have an unmarried partner who has twins for me and they are my dependants. I submitted 11 pics, immigration dna, bank transfers to her, email correspondence) will they be refused visa.
Note: I have travelled with my estranged wife to the uk in the past. I stated in my application that I am separated but under dependent I didn’t include her name only the unmarried partner with the twins.
Thank you

Hello

1.Your study gap is from 2018, NYSC is part of an activity you have done for 1year. Are you employed or self employed? You could add an additional evidence in this regard


2. Your POF is for your study in the UK, any other arrangement is full on deceit and will attract a 10year ban when caught


Also we don't encourage such discussion on this thread


Cheers

Willrobert9398:
Hello house I have 2 questions.
1. I graduated oct 2018, completed NYSC sept 2019. Do I need to explain my study gap? Would it start counting from NYSC completion or Degree graduation.

2. After applying for visa application. Can one remove remove the POF from the account?
Has anyone done this before? What was the outcome.

Hello

If the ECO wants more he/she will ask


Just be prepared

Don't send documents that weren't requested from you unless you are admitting an error

Since your Uni has responded, leave it and follow up when it's past the NSF dates

Cheers

Yo12345:
I got an NSF in the past regarding study gap.(which I provided documents for). And after an interview, I got an empty NSF.

Nothing else since then.

Hello

I am not quite sure

I usually book directly with airlines and flights I have used recently may require that you get a transit visa.

There are some YouTube videos on booking cheap flights that may be useful

Cheers

danzolla32:
Please @ dutchess , I need help) suggestions on cheap flight to uk. please, in dilemma ...

Hello

The value is in GBP

It is better to add the priority request and pay before your biometrics

If you intend to do so at TLS then confirm from your bank if your card has a limit and if it can cover that figure

Cheers quote author=tolats post=124752929]Hi duchess90 and all. Thanks for your help always.

Please, the 250£ priority fees, if one is paying at the TLS centre before biometric, is it paid in Naira or Pounds? How do one get it paid easily?

Thanks[/quote]

Hello

Did you get an NSF regarding this request??

Once you do, send a copy of the invoice showing the debit to your Uni

Cheers

@duchess and other bosses

Biometric: 13th June

Please note that my application is before the recent hike in the exchange rate.

Good day, my university contacted me on Friday about my visa application stating that the UKVI reached out to them (Which is rare) regarding my finances saying that the money in my account was not sufficient.

The school reviewed the bank statements using the rate as of the date of my application, did the calculations and also concluded that the money showing in my bank statement was indeed sufficient AS OF THE DATE OF APPLICATION. They told me they had relayed this information to UKVI.

Steps Taken
I have decided to pay part of my the balance of the tuition fee. After this payment, I only have a pending balance of GBP 1000. However, the payment would takes a few days to reflect in the university’s account.

Question:
I would like to inform UKVI of this payment. But the University has not gotten it yet.
What else can I do and are there any other steps I can take?

Hello

Prepare like you would be asked


If not then fine

Cheers

Serendipity01:
Please is statement of account needed at POE? Thank you

Hello

It depends on who you meet at POE

POE experience differ, whilst some have had a smooth experience otherwise have been well scrutinized

Prepare Iike you would be asked

Besides,your POF is for your study, so you shouldn't be panicking

Cheers

Olaniyan77:
Good evening guys
There's something that is making me panicking
Are they checking POF on bank mobile app at the Port of entry despite there's statements of account.

Hello

1. No it won't, unless you are going to study in the US, in that case you can't study in 2 different countries at the same time

2. No you don't need it for the application,you only need the details and a copy of the data page which you will upload

However,you will need it during your biometrics appointment unless you opt for the keep my passport service. In that case TLS will contact you to submit your passport in due course


Cheers

Shayboy:
Hello everyone please I need help, I just did my POF yesterday and my CAS will probably be out by the coming week for MMU. Now just yesterday I got a message from my US agent that hasn’t been responding my messages for months! that I have an appointment on Aug 23!! For a B1/B2 visa.
1.My question is that if I get a US visa refusal, will this affect my visa status for the UK
2. My POF 29th day is AUG 25, my question is that if my Visa get successful and my passport get taken at the US embassy, will I need a physical passport for my VISA APPLICATION AND IHS FOR ONLINE APPLICATION.
Pleaseeee I need help because I’m totally confused

Hello

Use the same letter


Cheers

Omoboyeo:
Hello gurus in the house , pls englight me did I need to ask for another reference letter from work and school for visa application or I should use the one I used for processing addmision ?

Hello

Include a cover letter explaining the error and put the information of who the family member is


Cheers

Marytee2:
Hello everyone,

My sister applied for UK visa but made a mistake in her form. Where they asked if she has family in the UK, she said no but the answer should be yes Just few hours ago we saw this mistake. Do you know if there will be any implication please ? Do they really reckon with having or not having family in the UK.
Will this affect her visa? Can she write a letter to acknowledge this error as soon as possible and upload it along with her other documents.

Thanks

ccJustwise

Hello

You don't need to include Local Govt identification.

You only need to include birth certificate if your parents are sponsoring your study,if not then it isn't needed


Cheers

Shekemsheke:
Please someone who knows more should help me.
Regarding student visa application, is it out of place if I include, as part of my documents 1. Local govt identification certificate. And 2. Birth certificate.

Hello

You can't enter before the MA

Either same time or after

You will be sent back at POE

Please don't listen to hearsays claiming someone they know did it.


Getting a Hotel etc is not of any concern

The MA is the person of interest not dependants

Cheers

FNRF:
Understood, but how can I prove to them at POE that it is for the best for my family because we can’t be hanging around at hotels etc., it’s best we have a place so my wife can shop our stuffs to the address.

Also my wife isn’t a Nigerian National, hence why I’m thinking of going first to sort all the housing and school related issues.

Hello

It shouldn't be a problem tbh

Reference letters are meant to address specific concerns about study gaps

Besides you should be able to explain your source of POF if the ECO enquires regardless of whether your letter states so or not


Cheers

Ben6ene:
Good evening all, for Visa Application, is it okay for reference letter/ letter of introduction from employer to have the annual earning? There's a huge gap between my earnings and the amount in the POF.

Kindly advise before I upload.

Hello

You can either repeat each refusal, so first one is most recent 2017 and then say yes again so you include the second one

Or
Put the date for the most recent (2017) and explain both in the text column

2. Yes declare your travel to Ghana

Cheers

omotem:
Good evening @duchess, thanks for always .
1) while filling my form, I was asked if I have any visa refusal for uk or any other country, I answered Yes( AMERICA). They only provide one column to fill the date. My concern is I have two refusals from US embassy , one 2016 and the other 2017. I am able to declare 2017 in the column provided, How do I declare the second one.

2) Travel History: I traveled to ghana by road 2016, and I have stamps of border pass on my passport. Can I declare it as one?




Thanks in advance

Hello

1. Your dependant maintenance should be £680*9months if your fiance is studying outside London or £845*9months if he is studying within London

2. See attached screenshot and fine tune it to your situation plus what is attainable in Nigeria


Cheers

Phoenixs:
Please Help @ duchess and other Gurus in the house
My fiancée is in Uk already for a 2 years study (started this January) and he’s coming home for our wedding by next month. My question is :
1. How do I calculate my pof as a dependent
2. Whose account will the POF be dependent or MA.
3. Our address is different from each other because we’ve not been living together yet. Hope this won’t be a problem when upload some documents
4. What and what am I to present as proof of relationship after our marriage certificate.

Hello

1.People have struggled with paying using their naira master card, it might be worth speaking to your bank and getting a dollar version perhaps

2. You have 4 years study gap, the request for study gap evidence is when it is more than 5years.

Keep your application simple, provide what is stated in your CAS and the additional Tb test and bank statements

Cheers

alameen21:
Hi duchess90,
I really appreciate your contribution to this thread.
I would appreciate your input on these issues currently troubling my mind.
i. The payment for IHS and Visa can it be done with normal master card atm card?
ii. Please as a 2019 graduate for BSc qualification, what are the documents needed to apply for visa. I noticed some people do include work reference and nin. From the webinar i had with the institution all these were not mentioned.

Thank you as i look forward to your kind reply.

Hello

Yes , people that know what they are doing have them
