Hello

Please proceed with your TB test with the soon-to-expire passport.

But kindly note that when your new passport comes out you'll have to go back to IOM to update the passport number on your certificate. THIS SERVICE COST 8,500.

And also note that the TB certificate has a 6months validity, so plan accordingly.

Cheers...... (duchess90 hope I spelt the "cheers" correctly?)

I want to thank everyone here. I can’t thank you guys enough for insights and directions. All the information I used came from here alone. I followed 2 threads from page 1 to the last page and kept following up. I made a lot of screenshots and saved them on my phone so I don’t have to ask when I eventually get to the stage.
God bless you guys!

Good evening house
Please is it true that a dependent can’t board a flight without PTA
And does this apply to students too

Hello Everyone,

This will be quite a long read.

Visa Granted!

I applied for student visa August 2020 but it was refused because my CAS was cancelled by the University.
I called the University to tell them I couldn't meet the resumption date since I had not gotten my Visa and I was informed I'd be deferred to January 2021.

I called the UKVI to inform them that my CAS had been cancelled and the lady on the phone asked if I wanted to withdraw my application. I told the lady that the withdrawal will take a while before I get my passport back but I'm okay with a refusal so I can get my passport back immediately.

Two days later, I was refused but I wasn't bothered so I reapplied with priority in November 2020 so as to avoid the long processing time.

I was scheduled for a phone interview on the 5th day and I answered all the questions but I was refused.

The reasons given were blatant lies saying I didn't know much my fees was and didn't know what my sponsor did for a living.

I applied for AR and it was refused, did PAP - the refusal was upheld.

I proceeded to Judicial Review then the lies were upgraded to "the applicant states NEVER to return back to Nigeria."
The Judge asked for the recording of my phone interview be presented the following week.

By the following week, the transcript of the phone interview shown I clearly stated how much my fees was and what my sponsor did for a living. No where was it stated that I'd never come back to Nigeria. Instead I said it was my plan to return back to Nigeria to open a Consultancy firm.

The legal representative for the Home Office reached out to the Barrister representing me and myself (email) asking to settle outside court.
The Barrister asked if I was okay with a settlement, I said Yes but wanted them to pay all the cost I incurred during the JR process and a new decision be made.

It was agreed and signed.

July 2021, a new CAS was requested for September 2021. I was asked to provide it within a week.

The University took a while to reply, before they provided a new CAS I was refused again. I WAS LIVID. I sent the Home Office an email telling them I'd follow it up to JR and this time THERE WOULD BE NO SETTLEMENT OUTSIDE COURT.

I applied for AR and it took 3 months before it was successful.
I got several emails of apologies and passport was requested for November 10.

I submitted my passport 10th November, 2021.

All the best for the remaining hurdles.

Good morning .
Please advice , My wife’s passport will expire by December 2022 and she’s going for September intake . Can she apply for visa with the old passport before renewing it ? What do you suggest please

Damatik:
My own passport is also expiring June 2022 but still awaiting Visa decision. I have also applied for another passport. But my main concern is that to collect the new one when ready, they will stamp the old one with Visa as cancelled. so can we present that at airport to any immigration officer. Hope it won't raised any red flags. Has any one been able to travel with old passport containing the visa vignette.

Chardiee:
Hello, it's not for me oooo
Someone sent it to me so I thought to share it here because of the argument here about it yesterday

OluAjo:
Please advise.

quote author=OluAjo post=109277632]Please I need your advice.

My passport is going to expire by June 2022.
My visa vignette is on this passport.

I'm thinking of getting a new passport here in Nigeria (getting passport in the UK is quite expensive) before I travel to the UK but I'm afraid this might cause immigration issues.

Please, What do you advise?

Chardiee:
For those asking, see a screenshot of a refusal

Its not only couples that come to the UK to study, single mothers also do, the only difference is how you present your case

A mother can travel with kids without their daddy IF and IF you put in place a plan for those kids, consent letter alone is not enough.

The biggest question you need to answer is...who will look after those kids while you are at the university?

Did you make childcare/school arrangement for them? Have the money? Have evidence of all that?

If I get a return ticket today, is it possible to get PTA before Thursday because that's when I will be leaving

jobinto:
Yea, lots of people take decisions from other people's experiences they post here, don't just come and post what you haven't experienced so people don't make costly mistakes

meeday07:
It depends on your study gap. If your study gap is 5 years or more, I will advise you upload them to avoid delay in your visa bcus they might ask for them. I don't think they will ask for extra document once you upload your employment history with your application. But whatever you upload, avoid uploading your pay slip

jobinto:
How someone came here and said he got PTA with one way ticket by presenting his admission letter and some people have been deceived to think it was true, booked one way tickets and now banks are telling they need a return ticket to be eligible for PTA is fucking crazy.

Uzonma:
Hello house
Please which bank can give me pounds for PTA
Instead of dollars?
Most bank claim that dollars is what's readily available to them
