Hello,

Ideally you should but If you ask for my opinion stick to the 20hrs.

The question now is IF, don't overexpect so you don't get disappointed, there have been records of delay in issuing visa, when you arrive and after sorting accommodation, you will need to collect your BRP and apply for NIN(these documents allow you work) and may take time. This is before applying for jobs,doing interview and getting an offer.
One month never pass so? And then boom! time for lectures.

This is the true reality!

Cheers

Good evening, please I will like to ask if I travel a a month to the start of my course can I work full time, and then go back to 20 hours when school starts.

Hello,

No, but you must upload before your biometric date

Cheers

Hanzzyyy:
Must I upload documents the same day I paid visa Fee and book date

Hello

I believe your passport vignette will carry a certain date, I also believe you are expected to enroll once you arrive

If you choose to defer your admission to September, the old visa then becomes invalid, pending on the school's policy they may need to reissue a new CAS and you may need to apply for a new visa.

Chances of the school deferring your admission is up to the school,nobody will tell you what to expect,you have to speak with your admission team and they will advise.

Just so you know, after enrollment, the school will send the data of all the students that have enrolled for that academic session to the home office.
So please if you want to defer your admission let your school know,make them no bounce you for border.

If it is May resumption,time is not on your side.

Cheers

Hello all,
Please i have a question for a friend.
If you apply for UK student visa for May resumption and move your start date to September because family issues require that you stay in Nigeria a little bit longer, does that have any impact on your visa? I mean after UK has given you your visa? Specifically, does the student have to reapply for another visa? Also, what are the chances of the school being comfortable with moving the resumption term?

Thank you all.

Hello

Just 1year

Good day House
Well done for all the good works done here
Please, I am in a dilema
I have BSC and MSc...wish to further and do PhD but the PhD fees are somewhat expensive.
My question is do I need POF for the three years at once in my account (IHS,tuition )...
Or just a year only
I also have 2 dependents.

I would appreciate if anyone can respond please.
Thank you

Hello

I also did a bit of digging and you should to. If I am right AMI is a diploma in education. Not sure where that falls under in RQF/SQF, but see this screenshot and confirm if you can get a study visa and a graduate visa when you finish.


There is a link to also confirm if your institution is licensed.

https://www.gov.uk/student-visa/course

Check them out

Cheers

Pamelayoung:
Thank you @duchess90.

The program is a 2 year diploma with option of either day or night(For student who intend to work) It's not a full time program. Qualifications is AMI Diploma.

Concerning the IELTS, I did speak with the admin but he insisted that with IELTS they won't be able to sponsor the visa.

Can I Dm you for further details please?

Hello,

I still insist that part time students can't work regardless of the duration of the program.So if this is the main reason for going this route you might have to rethink it

You may want to confirm if your diploma course will allow you come into the country,most diploma courses I know will advise a visit visa for short course (mostly for exams) bulk of the studies are online and self study. I am yet to see a lecturer working night here. The main course is fully online.

This may or may not have changed though

What is the name of your institution?

If they insist on IELTS to give you sponsorship then you don't have much of a choice do you?

Cheers

Hello,

No one holds the TLS app to guarantee that you will get the date you want.

Whatever date is available you might have to book it and then try the option that can allow you walk in to the center if it is available.I think it is called the Flexi ( you may need to pay extra for that)

Cheers

Vicktorhmustjap:
Good evening all, please a quick question, I intend to pay for my IHS and visa fees on Wednesday; 4th May this week. I was told after payment I will then proceed to pick a centre which cannot be changed..

I intend to pick ikeja centre.. but my fear is if the date 9th of May will be available because that's when I wish to go for my biometric...

Is the booking date too close to the biometric date? Will I get 9th of May or should I chose another centre where I can get guarantee of 9th of May?

Please I need advice

Hello,

Yes

Hello House, Please I have a question on my Visa application for. Is it after paying iHS the document uploading page follows?

Hello,

Your answer is on the first page of the thread with all the necessary links

Cheers

eagledan:
Is a child dependent to pay IHS and how much is visa fee for a child?

Hello

The question is not how soon you can reapply, that can be done immediately.
What is most important is addressing the concerns raised. For instance, the second reason, how can you address that?

Otherwise you'll keep piling refusals.

Address the concerns raised,dot your i 's and cross your t's and then reapply.

Cheers

Longjonjoe:
I also got a refusal letter today, imagine waking up and gbam! The email just dropped. The two reasons why i was denied was the large sum of money I received between December and January, the money didn’t have a narration, now i see the reason why when transferring money from one of your account to the other, always write a narration maybe “savings” or just state what the money will be used for. I didn’t explain the large sum in a letter to UKVI. The 2nd reason was my company i work for, they said they checked it on CAC and it showed “INACTIVE” omo i weak!!! I’ve been working here for 3 years now. Guys please how soon can I reapply, i was advised by a friend that i should wait for 6 months. That is far. Has anyone applied immediately after they got s refusal and got the visa eventually or they waited 6 months. I will gladly appreciate your answers please. Thank you

Hello

Minimum wage per hour is per age group. The highest used to be £8.91 but it's been recently reviewed last month to £9.50,I don't know how soon companies have to implement this though.

There is nothing like maximum rate, this depends on the company you work for and experience.

You can look at this link for more information: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/the-national-minimum-wage-in-2022

Cheers

shawnmich:
Guru in the house.... I hail you.... Please how much is the minimum wage and max wage a student can get for the huzzling job per hr with limitation of 20 hrs per week.... How much can someone earn per hr?

Hello,

Few questions what level of qualifications is stated in your offer?

Is this a part time course or full time?
Are you aware part time visa holders are not eligible to work?

Visa eligibility also has alot to do with the level of course.

With regards to September,I think you should still be within the time frame if you get things sorted soon but these questions are key if you have the answers

Also alot of people have mentioned their WAEC certificate was sufficient and they didn't need to write IELTS,but you need to clarify with your school

Cheers

Pamelayoung:
Good day everyone.
Thank you all for your contribution on this thread.

I'm new here and would need clarifications on some issues.
First my program is a 2-year diploma night course. I purposely choose the night option so as to be able to work during the day. I have a provisional offer from the institute, which I have accepted though I am yet to make the fee deposit and write IELTS. My program start date is September 2022. I'm apprehensive that I am starting the application a bit late, following information gathered here concerning wait times for TB screening and other requirements. My question now is if I start application now, will I meet up with September start date? Secondly, can I book a date for the TB without having started an application. At this point what's the first thing I should do? Write IELTS or start the application?

Hello,

Yes

Cheers

Hello house , thanks for all you do here.
please i need help with case study and question sent to me for Social work interview. kindly assist with your thought ...Thanks alot

Addison and Ellis share a two bedroom housing association flat on 13th floor of a high rise complex on the edge of an old council estate in Southend-on-Sea. Addison works in the local Sainsbury’s on shifts and Ellis is on a zero hours contract with a delivery company. Both are aged 22 years old. Together they have a child, Corey, aged 5. They have been together 7 years now. From the age of 5 Addison grew up in foster care after witnessing domestic abuse and being neglected. Both of Addison’s parents were long term heroin users.

Addison and Ellis met online and immediately ‘hit it off’ as Ellis too had experienced a traumatic childhood with severe bullying in the final years of school. Both Addison and Ellis have become skilled at ‘stick and poke’ tattooing, to the point that many of their friends have asked them to create homemade tattoos for them. In secret, they gave Corey a tiny tattoo on his ankle, after Corey ‘had begged them for one’. Ellis has an interest in becoming a professional tattooist. Ellis is Corey’s main carer and works for the delivery company during the times Corey is at school or when Addison isn’t working.

During the Covid-19 crisis and lockdown, Ellis’ work stopped as the company went into liquidation. As a result, the couple had to rely on Addison’s income. As the Covid-19 crisis continued to worsen, Addison worked longer and longer hours and increasingly showed signs of stress at home, often shouting at Corey and becoming short tempered with Ellis. Online, Ellis told a friend that Addison constantly watches them, and Ellis is ‘having to walk on eggshells around Addison’. Ellis is worried this might be affecting Corey.

Last night, around 11pm, Addison started an argument with Ellis immediately after returning from work and told Ellis, that Ellis is ‘f...ing useless, lazy and the flat is filthy’. When Ellis tried to respond, Addison grabbed Ellis by the throat and screamed ‘shut up, shut up’. The shouting woke Corey who came into the living room, saw what was happening and burst into tears.

QUESTIONS
1. What are the most significant issues or challenges you would prioritise as a social worker for this family?

2. What are some broader social, political or economic aspects of the scenario that might be impacting on the family?

3. you be feeling at the moment, and what might be the most important issue or concern for you?

No it's not

It's an error

bigtt76:
Looks like a blended course - online + in person ....kindly contact the school for confirmation

Hello,

This seems to be an error

If you send it across I can try to forward it to friends in the International Office department to confirm this and get back to you

Good morning everyone.
I got a conditional offer to Coventry University last week. Please is there a Whatsapp group for Coventry University? Also I'm confused abt something in the letter: course start is may 2022 but enrollment date is September 2022. Is it a mistake or what's ur candid advice. I expect the course start date to be after the enrollment date. Pls help. Thanks

Hello,

Once you have gone through the thread like others advised you will have a clear understanding and possibly specific questions on your mum's application.

The extra thing to add is you will need to request for an additional letter of invite from your husband's university to attend his graduation.
She needs to prove ties like the thread indicates even when you and your husband are sponsors.

Cheers

Thanksss:

Hello,

Your friend should only be worried if the marriage is indeed sham.

If it is not, evidence of dating ( a mix of pictures, chats,bills paid together etc)at different months throughout the span of 3years should be submitted along with the marriage certificate when he is processing his dependant application.

It is that simple, they don't have to defer the admission

Cheers

Emia:
Good afternoon friends.
My friend is in a dilemma.
He's been dating a girl for over 3 years [/b]now and she has decided to travel abroad for her master's. He's footing about 70% of the bills so they decided to do a [b]court marriage last month so they can move together and start visa application by July as she's already gotten admission.
Now the issue is someone advised them that their marriage date is too close to the visa application date and that it might raise red flags as the marriage might be viewed as a sham marriage (even though it isn't).
They were advised to defer the admission and not apply now. Now he's scared of applying as he doesn't want to risk a rejection.
Please what's your advice and does he really stand a huge risk of rejection?

Hello,

Not sure 7 WD or 2weeks will make a massive difference in your application but I would reprint my statement to have a recent date.

2. You have to explain that deposit

3. Again it doesn't make any difference, self or assisted the choice is completely yours,as long as the necessary documents are uploaded

My 2pence opinion,others may add

Cheers

CarrilT:
Good morning,
So I paid for my VISA application yesterday and on getting redirected to TLS site the earliest available slot for capturing in Lagos was 13th of may. I feel that's kind of far.
My questions I already printed out my documents (Bank statement and others),
Hope a bank statement of 7 working days or 2 weeks won't be too long for consideration or should I just do a reprint towards the appointment date.

Also I have a regular salary of about 7 figures, and a 6 figure deposit was made into my account earlier in the bank statement. Do I need to explain this deposit.
I wanted to do self service but on realising the date is far and not too sure if I might need a reprint I opted for assisted service. Was this wise?
PS
I have been rejected visa by US embassy before which I stated.
This is my first time of applying for visiting UK VISA
Thanks for time in reading this and offering your advises.

Hello,

It is a 50/50 chance, you still have to follow due process, submit documents and attend the interview like they would in Nigeria.

There is no preference or difference in doing so in the UK.However with the USA I doubt there is any available appointment, the last time I checked for family was January 2023.

Cheers

Beelkiz:
Hello Everyone,
I want to inquire about some information. If a couple wants to give birth in the united state but already has a Uk visa that would expire in six months time, considering the fact that the woman is pregnant and not its not showing yet. what is the possibility of getting a USA visa in uk or other places they intend to tour during their visit( Turkey, Mexico and London) to be able to get to come to the USA to give birth.

Recycled funds are when you present the same funds you used for only your application as that of your dependants, (emphasis on 'only').

Ideally POF should cover both you and your dependant but people have tried to outsmart the system by showing the same figures.This wasn't a concern until recently when bank statements for the applicant (you) was also requested for alongside that of the dependants

Again not in all cases , but be prepared incase you are asked to either resubmit your own statement or provide evidence to back the reduced POF if applicable.

Hope it makes sense now.

Cheers

what do you mean by recycled funds and also what do you mean spent pof

Hello,

The link to TB test booking/ information is on the first page of the thread.
Your wife will need her passport to do so

Cheers

bola01234:
Pls can u share the test website and also can my wife do it without her passport

Hello,

You start yours first and then your dependants when you want to.You should note in your application that you have dependants.

Also ensure you have evidence of POF spent incase it is asked, UKVI may want to ensure it is not recycled funds.

P.S: UK no dey do wana oh ( just for laughs)

Cheers

Good morning all, please I wana go first to UK and my wife and kid can join me in 3 months time from September, I wana ask when do I start their visa process, do I need to apply it along side with mine?

Hello,

Hotel booking is not a very important criteria in decision making towards visit visa.
There are lots of hotels you can book and pay on arrival through booking dot-com if you are bothered about this.

With your application it is already submitted,just hope for the best

Cheers

Carim19:
Good evening guys
I’m encountering a problem,I posted here not quite long about my hotel reservation,my card couldn’t be processed by the property.So I called a brother in uk to help to book the hotel,in my mind there won’t be any problem again then I later submitted my documents,After I submitted I received a message that the card is declined due to it cannot be processed my the property
I don’t know what to do and I have uploaded my documents
Moreover the person I used his card that stays in uk said he later called them but their response was “anybody booking more than 5days will not be process because people fake the booking and later cancelled
But we can booked for 5days but if I did the confirmation number n pin I used earlier will be changed and have submitted the first one

Please is there anything I can do ?

I agree and that was my response to the OP

But when I saw a contrary opinion I wanted to also see proof of that, but I guess it is all cleared up now.

Cheers

Hello,

You seem certain and said you have watched it, Can you post the video to show?

Showing a postgraduate international student transferring into a different school upon arrival without enrollment?

What school does he report to when he arrives? New or old? What information does he have on UKVI?

It will be good to share what you have watched

Jsaviour:
People have been doing it. Check YouTube videos of students in UK. I don't know how they do it but I have seen 2 videos of Nigerian student that transferred to another school after first year

Hello,

You might want to look at the general visa thread and read to see the experience there.
Even though your sister is in the UK, the onus is on the younger sister to show ties and prove she will return after her visit.

You have to dot the I's and cross the T's with visit visa,there are no guarantees.
When you read the thread you'll understand better.

Cheers

Oracle55:
Please good evening all, my sister is currently in the Uk studying but heavily pregnant, she intends bringing our younger sister to the uk on a visit visa for maybe 6 months to help her out when she puts to bed, please how will she go about it, do anyone know how to apply and the requirements for a standard visit visa? Is there a guarantee that she will be approved a visa? Or it's 50/50 chance? Please its urgent

Hello,

Unfortunately 19year old is not a dependent. Your dependant child has to be under 18years.

You might want to look at undergraduate study visa for him as an option so he studies while you do as well.

Pls I want to confirm I ll b traveling to Manchester on Sunday morning. I will like any1 with recent update abt travel requirements. I checked the site it says no Covid text is needed , but I still like to confirm very well from others as well

Hello,

You will need a new CAS and new visa application.

You might loose your deposit from previous uni and may need to return home to reapply pending on how complicated this become.

Outsmarting mentality doesn't work in the UK. if you want to go with the new offer,then decline the old one, request a refund,(they may deduct charges)and proceed with the new school.

Again, Outsmarting mentality will put you in trouble,do the right thing every time even when it seems nobody is watching.

Cheers
ote author=shawnmich post=112349419]Please I have a question guru in the house. I have an offer from a schools which I made a deposit and receive CAS, before later I got another offer from another school with lesser tuition fee and small scholarship. I want to confirm whether is possible to use the former school to enter UK and then change my school to the cheap one which I later got offer when I get to UK or is not possible? If so what is the implications, kindly please advice guru in the house.
