Hello,

The marriage certificate is not necessary for applicant but 100% compulsory for dependant

2. The chat should always include recent and old (look at random selection for a year), dependent may also include chats if it is available on his/her phone

Cheers

Amazoner01:
Pls I have a question.
Want to ask if it’s required for applicant for also upload the marriage subsisting document or just the dependant?

Also regarding uploading chat. ..applicant cellphone got stolen and now using a new number. Will the previous chat (old number) suffice.

Hello,

Ideally the key sessions are January, some schools/courses offer May and then September.

Except you are aiming for PhD which is year round. I am unsure if there are march/April sessions

You might want to ask Google

Cheers

omoajiri:
Greetings to you all.
I want to ask if indeed some schools offer March/April intake for master's programs.
Thanks

Hello,

This is a blanket question
What course and level are you aiming for? Please do some Google research, narrow down your choices, read the previous pages and you will have specific questions people can help answer

You have to do the work,there is no fast track in the UK

Cheers

Mapple90:
Which University in UK can grant quick admission and easy to apply.

Hello,

Yes he can, ensure he quotes your name and student ID.
The most important thing is that you trust him and give consent to him.

Hello Experience Guru's in the house. Please I would need your candid advise on this.
Its over 2 weeks my Foam A is pending with Eco bank. My account is still not debited till date.
A friend in the UK requested he make the initial deposit for me using his card.
Just needed to be sure if its Ok for him to initiate the transaction on my behalf?

I want to give the bank till COB today before making my decision.

Thanks

Hi Mike,
Good that you heard directly from your school.

I'll respond to your email.

Cheers

Mikool101:
He said I should send a bank statement to them, so they can view if all is in check before applying for visa. But the most important thing is as long the balance tuition fee & maintenance fee meets up the requirements needed in my account, then the deposit tuition removed during the 28 days window is not a red flag. But the reason for the mail is something I needed to ask privately relating of course to uk masters.

Hello,

It might be worth asking the question here so others can learn/advise.

Regards

Mikool101:
Thanks, I was able to speak to the country rep today based on your advise. I sent an email to you, i need to discuss further some of the stuff with you.
Please check your mail.
Thank you.

Hello,

You might want to speak with your school on this. There may be an option of joining online and then face to face when your visa is out.

My previous post says ideally you should be able to continue the count but it's being safe that matters. speak to them they will advise appropriately.

Cheers

Mikool101:
I was debited on the 16th of Nov and I started my counting on the 30th of Oct. My school resumes on the 10th of Jan, won't that affect the time window, knowing fully well embassy will close before Christmas.

Hello,

You know what to do now..Start the count after the deposit

Cheers

Mikool101:
On my offer letter is one of the conditions.

Hello Mike,
Quick question, is your initial deposit part of the conditions? Is the 28days evidence not after fulfilling the stated conditions?

Ideally, you should be able to continue with the count as long as it doesn't affect balance and print the evidence of your deposit payment during this time.

But to be safe, start the count after the deposit payment (reason I asked those questions).

It is fine to use your salary account.

Cheers

Mikool101:
I still need response on this. I am using my salary account as POF. I hope it won't affect my 28 days as POF. I have paid initial deposit during this same 28 days window. @justwise @akporokodaughter @em7eve and any other gurus in the house. This is urgent. Goodmorning.

Will the statement show when it was transferred to the other said account?
Can he provide the statement of the said account if he is asked?

Sometimes coming out clean is better and easier than trying to outsmart these people.

Pasuma23:
This is what I would do. Send the money from another of your bank account, so the the remark will be showing your name as well. Then you tell tell them that removed the money initially to an account you opened strictly for savings.

Hello,

Does the date in question cover the time of the visa cancellation, administrative review and to date? If you have used the funds for other processes such as flight, accommodation etc, then print the current statement and submit along with your invoices the funds were used for.

If it is a borrowed POF and you have returned it, then that's unfortunate.

Cheers

Abyflab:
Kindly advise,my UK visa was cancelled due to claimed bank statements falsification by UKVI but upon administrative and judicial review,another claim was made that there was an error from UKVI about the visa cancellation and was asked to present another bank statement [b]covering another date [/b]but my fear now is that the money has been removed since the second day the visa was issued,Kindly advise on the bank statement to present cos the same account number was insisted upon submission.

Thanks.

Hello Luckymindz
If you look back someone responded to your question. See attached.

Hello,

There are lots of insurance companies and the price will depend on more information such as the make and model of car. You may wish to use websites such as USwitch or Gocompare to get some quotes and make a decision.

Cheers

jubrilx:
Hello house, please who knows the price of insurance for using a Nigerian International Driving license in the UK?

Hello,

To answer your question, it is better to disclose this information at both pre cas and visa stages. Hopefully others looking for same answer can get it here

Cheers

Chidinwa:
I’ve heard of situation were the student was asked to pay at least 70% of their school fees for declaring their former visa refusals.
I’ve read as much as I can and has been following this thread from page 180 and can’t remember were I’ve seen similar question, but very sure I didn’t come across the answer.
So please permit me to ask again. And I’ll be glad if anyone help.
My school is a private university hence the question, as I don’t want to have any hiccup

oluswaggz:
Hi guys,

Is it possible I get questioned or disturbed on arrival in the UK about my wife’s pregnancy status. She will be due in a week from the time we intend to travel. Is it possible they ask for the POF of the unborn baby at the airport or is it possible they ask for the POF after the delivery we would be few days after entering the UK?

Please help with a response

I agree with @justwise.please do not put your wife and child through this. If you are the student, my advice will be to go first while she delivers the little one and joins you later. If she is the student, you need to let the school know her current condition so they can advise.
Travelling at that condition is too risky

kcfastshooter:
Good day house, please those in u.k if I want to drive In the u.k can I make use of my Nigerian driver's licence or I have to go for the driving test. because I intend buying a car because of the distance of my job, pls people in u.k that knows about it should highlight me. because in the home office portal it said[b] I can use my Nigerian driver's license for one year[/b]. Thanks

Yes you can get an International Drivers license but driving in the UK is beyond that, you need to also have your insurance and pay your MOT, if you haven't driving a RHD before I will strongly advice you do some driving lessons, take the theory and practical test. UK driving is no joke.

Nkem222:
Are there single mom that have migrated with their kids please I need assistance on how to go about custody or consent letter

.

Hello Nkem,
Custody is granted by the court, you have to file for that, the best bet will be to get a lawyer, explain the circumstances to him/her. if the father of the child gives you a consent letter, that's a good addition. But the custody from court is the legal document.
Remember, they might verify these documents. So make sure you do the right thing

All the best

Igengo:
Good morning to everyone on here. Trust we are doing good. Please I would appreciate if anyone can help me clarify some things here

1. Does British airline accept naira debit Mastercard to book flights if one is going to the UK

2. I heard car insurance is quite expensive in the UK. Please Which of the following licence will give a lower insurance cost? The Nigeria driver's licence? International driver's licence or UK Provisional licence? And also can i have an idea of the costs as well? Can license have some kind of little impact on insurance especially for new entrants, someone mentioned it does but I am not sure.

Thanks as you take your time to enlightene me

To help answer No 2.Are you renting a car or owning one? Have you driven with a left lane system before? That is the opposite of what we drive in Nigeria

[quote author=Omob2015 post=97493956][/quote]Hello,

To get a court order, you have to engage a lawyer and go to court (not just a cover letter or affidavit). In most cases, the issue of the Child's father will be brought to light so be ready.
Your lawyer will be able to advice further, it will also be financially demanding but the good news is that once you have gotten this, your child's application will be straight forward because you have the legal right as the primary responsible parent.

This is not just a requirement for UK, you will need this proof if you and your child intend to visit other countries as well (atleast until 18years). Take your time, do the research and ground work. Then you can apply.

Cheers

Hello,

The question is why are you writing a cover letter? did you miss out on a document, fund calculation/analysis, visa refusals? If so, then yes, you can use the service to upload your cover letter.
The ones i have written in the past were addressed with;

The High Commissioner
British High Commission
154 Diplomatic Way
Central Business district
Abuja, Nigeria

Others can add to this.

Cheers

faithzy:
When writting a cover letter for your application, who do you address it to, the Visa Manager? Also I plan to use this service because I have submitted online but my Biometrics is in days and I want to use the opportunity to submit my cover letter, please share your experience if you have used this service

Hello,

Thankfully London and Kent are in the same Tier 4levels,just ensure you have your flight itinerary/school documents handy as a evidence of your trip incase you are asked.

Cheers

Shalom4life:
Please is it possible to travel to uk via london airport now and move to kent straight with this lockdown

Hello,

To help throw some light on this, ideally,

"Where the Student migrant is a single parent, children can only apply if:

the other parent is dead; or
you have had sole responsibility for the child’s upbringing; or
there are serious and compelling family or other considerations and suitable arrangements have been made for the child’s care"
You can get more information on this here
https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/points-based-system-student-route

The point is to prove either of those conditions exist; You don't necessarily need an immigration lawyer or a DNA test.
What condition above can you prove legally,(such as a court order for sole custody etc)

That's the first place to start.

All the best

Omob2015:
Compliment of the season.
Please i need your help .
I m single mother with a 5years old daughter. I m currently in the uk with tier 4 visa. I want to apply for my daughter now. Pls I need information on what and what to be added to the application to make it successful. I read that you need to state that you are fully responsible for her.
Do I need to get a immigration lawyer involved?
Do I need to do a DNA to proof she is my daughter bcs we have different names.
Can i get a sample of cover letter?
Pls help

Have you driven a right hand or in the UK?Do you know the motor rules and signs??If you don't please take some lessons first and test your knowledge. It is not enough to have an international license.

In addition,what category is General Insurance?? I presume you might be talking about Comprehensive. Are you a named driver on the policy? If not you need to speak to an insurance company first

There's also MOT and Road Tax

If you get pulled over by the police and you don't have all these, you could accrue points or be banned from driving( which may or may not affect your visa, not sure of the link between both agencies)

Be very sure before you proceed, driving here is not the same with Nigeria.

Cheers

toyclicks:
Good evening

@Justwise et al,
Pls I have an access to a car that has general insurance on it. I also got an international driver's license from Nigeria before I left.

Pls what is left for me to be able to drive the car without issues. Someone was telling me that I still have to get some insurance and that it would be expensive cos I am an immigrant.

Pls I want to know what else is left of me to be eligible to drive and covered. I don't want to flaut rules, I no want wahala.

Pls what are the costs too. I can't find tangible info on the internet.

Anyone with experience of driving in the UK with the Nigerian international Driver's licence should pls throw light.

Thank you

Not really, the UK frowns at parental child abduction and yes,this happens. That's why they insist on that

LagosismyHome:
When I first saw it ,I thought it was so unfair especially as UK has many single parents up and down..... but might because they dont want you to use childcare as an excuse why you dropped out or couldnt complete your studies

Just to add..There's so much more you can achieve with Alumini, everyone should try to tap into those sources of information, recommendation and possibly employement.

Politely reach out to any alumini in your field and make enquiries on the company they work for. You never know

Cheers

SamReinvented:
Thank you Justwise, I have gained some of the insights that I needed from your comments, and I think they are sufficient for me to make my decision now.

PS: If anyone else still has something to say specifically about my earlier questions, please don't hesitate to still say it.

whitley:
towards ILR actually

That's long residence of about 10years. Masters for almost 9-10years back to back?

Not sure how much @Priti Patel and her team are cracking down on illegal immigrants but this is sure a giveaway..

So sad..@Sweetness 24 have you discussed this situation with your sister?

Cheers

mimilyrics:
This will be a tough one to overturn though you can always try to appeal to the ECM's discretionary capabilities by conveying how this was just a honest mistake. My reasons (from an ECO point of view) for this are
1. You stated that you chose Manchester so you could be close to family when you had said that you had no family. You knew fully well that you had family in the UK and chose to stay in Manchester because of them. So who are the family members outside your sister that made you choose Manchester since you didn't mention them? This is a discrepancy difficult to overlook.

2. The suspicion that your sister is in the UK illegally is enough for the ECO to think that you are just using the student visa as a way to get to move to the UK by hook or crook. If you had included an explanation that you had a sister in the UK but that you don't know if she's still there because you lost touch many years ago, it might have helped.

Except you have reasons strong enough to tackle the points listed, the admin review might not upturn the refusal. And since you weren't refused under paragraph 320, you can still make an application at a later time but please address the reasons you were refused here on subsequent applications.

It's been awhile... Seeing visa approvals everywhere.. That's good

Hello

1. That will depend on the date of your biometric,if it is after 30days from the day of your already printed statement then yes you have to reprint a recent one.

2.The highlighted one is correct

Cheers

just4obitex:
Please I have a statement from my bank that I printed on the 17th of this month for my CAS.
1. Can I still use it or should I go print another one
2. Which of this should I tick?
Thanks all
@mimilyrics and other gurus in the house please help

Hello,

Not sure I understand what you mean by not reporting, would it be because you are isolating or you have decided to ditch school and not enroll?

2. I'll assume it's the second scenario when enrollment is over,details of current students will be sent to the home office, that means you have broken the terms of your visa and are currently illegal (OYO is your case)

3.Not sure how virtual studies will be but there will definitely be a system to check this.

No think am oh

Cheers

6lam:
A silly quick one guys. What If I don't report to school on arrival? What happens ?

Hello,

1.It is not a problem if you didn't make any transaction.

2. That is the right thing to do. Note that because it is an international transaction it may take time to reflect in your school's account and may also take time to be updated on your CAS, (try to confirm this from your school and ask if an evidence of additional tuition payment can be issued to
you),make sure you add this document during your biometric so it balances out your funding.

Cheers.

amaeve p[b:
ost=93444624]Please I just realized that I didn’t make transactions for 8 days within the 28 days of my account statemen[/b]t.
Also because of the spike in GBP rates from Saturday, I paid more tuition fees yesterday. Please is any of these a problem. Thank You so much.
