Urgent please!!! A friend is to travel to the UK in 2 days time and just realised his passport will expire in February. He has 2 years UK visit visa and wants to spend only 4 weeks. He will be back before his visa expires. Will this era of long wait to renew passport, can he still use this passport or must the passport have a 6 months validity to enter UK? Thanks

Hephzi04:
Hello people. Please for pre departure covid test, is it advisable 2 days before travel or a day before?
Any one with great Day 2 test provider should please share. Thanks

Hi everyone. Pls what's the likelihood of getting the 2 year post study work visa after completing a degree in the United kingdom? Is it automatic? Thanks

Gentle21:

For people getting married after visa approval, please do you have to change the marital status on the data Page of the passport or just leave as it is

Pls help ‼️‼️‼️‼️

I’m a lady and have my student visa already and due to travel by end of the year but got married after my visa application. My husband would be joining me in a month as a dependant but he has kids from another although not married to her. Can his kids be added as our dependants as he’s fully responsible for their upkeep but they won’t be joining us anytime but solely responsible for them?
My marriage certificate says *Single father with children* while mine says * Spinster* but we are now officially married.

Do you think he should add them as dependent or remove since they won’t be traveling with him and won’t there be any issue for visa approval?

Pls I’m so confused about this ���

You can't use 20hours to complete your school fees. Your studies will lack behind because you want to make up for the school fees and that will be another trouble for you. Make sure you get your fees together because it's not funny over there.

Have you thought of how you will feed yourself, clothing not to talk of accomodations. Not that you will come here and start shouting accommodation is expensive when you did not put that into your budget.

Or the best you can do apply for scholarships if your undergraduate grades are very good.

Aprokodaughter:
Spot on. This is the ideal answer to this question. People keep thinking that it is easy to find a good job, work and deal with the demands of assignments/ projects while studying. It is not impossible but it is certainly far from easy. I should know because I am a current student.

£8.91 -11 job per hour which is one of the commonest pay band for the kind of jobs available to students realistically cannot be used to offset school fees. The poster could manage that for living expenses provided he/she is living a very modest lifestyle and living in a cheap accommodation. Please have 90% of your school fees at the least (if not all) before you leave Nigeria.

Newwoman:
Please is there any advantage of travelling 1 and a half month after the visa has been issued. this is for dependent via thanks.

mercyp001:
Good morning everyone. Pls, In order to apply for UK student visa, someone's international passport must still have validity period of how many months or how many years.
Thanks as I await your response.

aopecy:
Please house, how will someone know if he was banned or not for his previous application and will it be on the refuser letter too.

Menab:
nairalanders, I have been down and crying since morning as my little sister whom I am a legal guardian to got her visa refused. The little girl is down. When I got a no straight forward email for her, I thought she will later get the visa and hence travel with my son so as to meet up with school deadline.. this morning I got a refusal letter for her. please help advise if you can, should I do administrative review? if yes, what are the steps. Already called my lawyer as asked why the legal papers couldn't be verified? as far as I know, everything is genuine, had several court sittings before guardianship was given. please advise as I am loosing it.. Also since I have traveled, how do I proceed with the AR in respect of taking her passport back if they eventually grant the visa? my whole world is crashing. please find attached reasons for refusal.
reason I didn't mention her in my previous applications were because I hadn't applied for legal guardianship for her. a big mistake I made���

Adeabike:

URGENT!! URGENT!! URGENT!!

Good morning everyone, I'm a single mom of a 9-month-old child, never been married. Gotten admitted and already paid my deposit. I intend going along with my baby. I have enough for our pof. My question now is, hope UKVI won't reject us, because I'm going for master's yet I have a baby, and it's just the both of us. I need to know if anyone here has gone through this before. Was the visa approved?

I await your response you'll so I can begin with my pof.

Thanks

Jasbt:
Good evening house. Just to confirm, please has anyone gotten visa with prodigy loan for student visa??
Cranfield uni accepts prodigy loan, but wandering if it's suitable for visa application. Thanks

SirWellington:
Anyone with a substantive idea please. Thank you all

centuryman:
For someone who <b>sincerely and genuinely</b> cannot remember the true outcome of his visit visa application to the UK for more than 12 years ago, what is the best way to handle this during visa application?

Note that he used an agent to apply and therefore didn't get any refusal letter from the agent.

Please, no abuse.

Crenzywilliams:
11 isn't late for a walk-in at TLS VI. I did mine on the 23rd at about 3:00pm, from what I discovered that day,they first attend to those with appointments before they start with those for walk-in. You may be lucky, the day I did mine they didn't use the list, and I am not sure they attended to every person that came in for walk-in that day, I was the last person they attended to, I was lucky to have done mine same day cos some persons said yhey've been trying to do it since the previous monday.

Alonika:
11am is kinda late considering alot of people will be on the queue by now, however you can try your luck. All the best

Punkydude:
Don't get me wrong , there is no difference between today and Monday, tomorrow self is public holiday. Believe you me you dont want that stress, plus you are carrying a baby. Just chill and go on Monday.

Peacecharles:
The application state if I was traveling with my dependants, they choose the No answer and secondly
They used an account statement of 12m on my application and I got the visa. After I got the visa, instead of advising me to transfer the fund to my dependant account,they said I should print the same account statement I used but this time it should be a different date.i did so,my dependants applied and they were refused. Because of that my Visa was cancelled with a ten years band.
I was invited for an interview,I told them it was my agent that handle the application and that was what I was advised to do.it was still a refusal but this time the ten years band was cancelled .someone introduced me to narialand, have really learnt a lot here.

VISA ALERT! VISA ALERT!! VISA ALERT!!!

Finally, it's my turn to testify! My story with UKVI is finally loaded, done and dusted! I've been quite busy since last week to pen this down.
Priority Service, Walk in
Application: 02/09
Biometrics: 03/09
Transfered to DMC: 03/09
Received at DMC: 06/09
NSFM: 08/09
Transfered to VAC: 23/09
Received at DMC: 23/09
Collection mail: 23/09
Collected: 24/09
I went to TLS Ikeja on 02/09/21 to get a space for walkin the next day, even though I haven't even applied for Visa yet, I haven't even gotten my CAS by then! I requested for my bank statement and got same around 6pm, while at TLS. I forwarded same to my school and received my CAS around 8pm same night. There and then at TLS, I started the application, finished and paid all the fees, got 15/09 as my date but had planned walk in the next day 03/09. My school agent adviced that since I didn't perform any transaction on my day1, I shouldn't use that bank statement as some people were recently refused cos the ECO mistaken used the dates of transaction instead of the dates stated as the acct summary dates, but I refused and went ahead to use same statement, running from 05/08 to 02/09. After the NSFM and wahala recounted earlier, the waiting was something else. 5working days turned to 15working days. Every day was excruciatingly painful and filled with anxiety, only those who have experienced it will understand. Thanks to @corpershaun, I sent a mail to Pretoria on 22/08 which resulted in getting my collection mail the next day. Truly, what God cannot do does not exist!

Thanks to all who I reached out to during that period.

For those still waiting, just hold your peace and be positive.

DON'T TOUCH YOUR FUNDS TILL YOUR VISA IS OUT OR YOUR ACCOUNT IS VERIFIED, WHICHEVER COMES EARLIER!

LagosismyHome:
That money to do his application plus maintain in account versus sole custody papers. ..... I trust you do the maths but you know best what works for you

LagosismyHome:
It is very difficult to get your daughter a dependent visa if her father not applying... consent letters i seen all lead to rejection for single parents.

If you are now a single parent the only work around is getting the legal sole custody papers... meaning if you want to go with her then that what it needs to be

sniperaz:
To be candid, within the duty of care, its very unlikely that they would approve the visa of a dependent child if only one of the parent is travelling. (Unless there's a legal document that's granting them sole responsibility in this regard and they are not in any marital union with the other parent f the child.)

For example - in case this is not clear to some people. If two people are married and only one parent has the intention of applying and travelling with their child on a student dependent visa, its more than the case that the parent will be grated the visa but the child would be rejected.

Patnuel2015:
This Prodigy Finance is fond of giving 17000 dollars and asking you to bring the remaining Pof before they can finally approve your loan. They gave me that amount for Cranfield University. I have to reject them. They are sponsoring universities with very high tuition and that's bad. Why can't they support schools with tuition like 14000 pounds. They are not helpful.
