I am still in Nigeria because they omitted my son's passport/visa when our own came out. So my wife had to leave with other two to resume school.
Yes, I was advised it is better to apply with the whole family or the student alone first. However, we have stories of people who didn't apply with spouse and still got visa. You need the father to sign a consent form that you can travel with your daughter.

All the best.

Patnuel2015:
There is no rule that state all of you must apply at same time. You can do that if you want, it's your choice. However, you alone can apply then you family apply later. Also you and you child can apply at same time while your husband applies later. It all depends on what you guys want. Although you should know that if you are not applying together with your husband but with you child, a consent letter must be sign by both you and your husband. So choose which is convenient for you.

Ebalafaa:
Honestly, your comment is spot on!!! People that are doing the honest and right thing are being denied, while those 'arranging POF' are being granted. Strange stuff right there.

Thanks for your advice. I plan to contact the school on this on Monday. In my case, I sent the letter from Prodigy Finance to the Finance team and they have ticked off the finance condition for me earlier this month. I am optimistic that by God's grace, the school would give me a receipt evidencing receipt of that amount (though disbursement is not till October) so I can use in lieu of the loan letter.

This is why I am grateful for this thread and everyone who is willing to contribute and share their experiences (positive or negative). God bless you all.

I would keep the house updated on developments so that others can also be guided.

@Tolvin hang in there. Do you still have some time for late resumption? Please speak to your school....I believe it is not yet the end.

harrrry:
Thanks for the link. It stated that ...... or one has permission to stay in the UK , meaning the main applicant must be in possession of valid UK Visa.

harrrry:
Please the link that stated " both parents to apply with the children at the same time or one parent must already be the UK "

Tolvin:
For Prodigy Finance to disburse the funds to the school, you'd need to have arrived on campus to sign the loan agreement. So, no disbursement till you get to the university and there's no way you can get to the school without having received your visa. Hence, the visa application. A friend of mine used Prodigy for Netherlands visa application and he got it. But the UK is different from the Netherlands.

I honestly want to believe it's an error from the ECO and I would have applied for AR but I had to return the funds in my bank account and my passport had exactly 8months to expiration when I applied for my visa. If I had applied for AR, my passport would be less than six months to expiration.However, you can get a letter from the university attesting to the Prodigy Finance loan letter.

I have deferred my admission to January entry and I will get the full funds in my bank account to present to UKVI.

I actually had thesame loan letter and I presented it to them. You can go ahead to apply with an additional letter from the school if that could help or you decide the get the full funds, wait for 28days and apply. I pray everything comes out successful

@Justwise and all, I was the one who that shared my refusal letter some weeks back. I got very useful advice from here. At a point I wanted to give up but God came through. Got a new CAS and re-applied, decision came out positive in 7days. Thanks to everyone and particularly those that suggested I apply for a new CAS rather than AR.

All Glory to God Almighty.

My wife and kids flew Turkish Airline Thursday night and are in the UK since yesterday, even earlier than expected.

Jaylo79:
People that are actually getting real loans are being sidelined… making the buying of POF dominant. I believe you should actually get a letter or advice from the school.

Tolvin:
I wouldn't advise you to use one in my opinion. Get the required funds in a bank account then when you get to the university, you can present your loan to them.

Tolvin:
Prodigy Finance

Tolvin:
Thanks. I submitted a student loan letter along with my POF. The short of it is that they didn't recognize the student loan letter.

Please is there anyone who has done or applied for a 2nd masters in a field other than their initial course of study.
Please anyone ……. Thank you.

[/quote][quote author=Ebalafaa post=105903525]You are welcome.

Yeah MBAs are quite pricy. I am a student of University of Strathclyde.

aamey15:
Good day everyone, please i am abit new here so kindly bear with me. I did my masters in UK ( Business Analysis) in 2011 and i intend to proceed for an MBA now in 2022 but i heard that Uk has a rule that if you have done a masters before you cant progress with a new masters unless there is a clear career progression. I should also mention that I currently have my business that i have been running for over 6 years and its quite successful so i actually think i need this MBA to progress in my business.

My question is, 1, is it possible to do an MBA 10 years after concluding a masters in the uk. Does this show career progression?
2. Can i proceed with the application with the hope of going with my family (5).

Thank you

fetomowo:
I don't know the whole context around the questions you are asking, so it's a bit difficult to say yes or no.

Do you have your CAS already? Are you bidding time for PoF? Is this 27th of September deadline for Enrolment in the course?
The 6th of September is in a few days. If that's the date on your CAS as start date and you may not meet up with visa application, it's better you let your school's International Compliance and Admission Team know, they may decide to issue you a CAS with a late course start date, or they may ask you to go ahead with you visa application.

I totally agree with you. Context is important for one to answer correctly.







He can get clarity on all his concerns directly from the school not here. That 27th September date is ambiguous and does not indicate if it is the latest date for enrolment, registration or arrival at school/in the UK. The date on CAS statement may be different from the actual date of last registration and arrival.

Silent reader too and first post on nairaland.

Many congratulations. I have been looking out for a mother who applied with just her children dependents and your post made me feel like I was the one that got the visa.

Please if you don't mind me asking, how did you deal with the requirement for you to apply for your children without their father. I know that if there is a court order as a result of a divorce or if a death certificate is presented, it is pretty straightforward but when one does not fall in the category of a divorcee or the spouse is not dead, what did you have to present as 'serious or compelling reason' for travelling alone with the children?
