This is compound name, wedding certificate will solve this cos it is not an issue at all

Marshall008:
Hello, my people, I want to ask if there will be any issues with names for this family.

The husband combined his father’s name with his surname for his wife and children.

Husband father(GrandPa)- Baker Hurley

Husband name: Ralph Hurley
Wife name: Jane Hurley-Baker
1st child: Paul Hurley-Baker
2nd child: Peter Hurley-Baker
3rd child: Joe Hurley-Baker


Because I don’t know how this will fly, during visa applications or will showing the family pictures and wedding pictures, solve such issue

I might be wrong though but I think this information was divulged by her husband to the interviewer unintentionally

slimdolyin:
Go ahead with the administrative review.... Cuz bank will never confirm if money wasn't in your account they will only confirm the statement of account..... Maybe they are trying to use reverse psychology, so if truly money is in the account he will do administrative review.

Don't be scared.
Administrative review will only check if the ECO made errors not that they will start confirming any documents again.

U can use it ,if only u are applying together. If not,tell ur spouse to transfer it to ur account

olajhiday:
Please can one use his/her partners' account statement if you're married and the account isn't a joint account? or must the money be in the applicant's account?

Yes u can if it is within 31days.
E.g u can still use it till march 24

EmeraldMars:
hi everyone

can i use one bank statement printed once to request for CAS and apply for visa?

if i print my statement today Feb 24 can i use that same statement over the course of one month without re-printing it?


help please

Your sch is the problem,you could have raised an alarm when you didn't see it on your CAS. I am so sorry

Okelity2812:
Here is my issue; i was refused visa on the financial grounds. UKVI refused me visa stating that i'm supposed to have an a closing account balance of 20006pounds, but that is not the case by my calculation my account balance should be 15306 pounds.
Here is how i arrived my conclusion; my school fees is 14000 of which i paid 6000 and was given a discount of 4700 by the school which amounts to 10700 pounds and a balance of 3300 pounds to be paid to the school. it should be noted that i am aware of 12006 living expenses and as a result of which i had a balance of 17004 in my bank statement.
My CAS only showed that 6000 was paid by me and failed to mention the 4700pounds discount that was given to me(i didn't know it was supposed to reflect on my CAS). UKVI refused me visa saying that i can apply for administrative review. i complained about the decision to my school and they said they'll look into it and carry out proper investigation. however, my fear is that i dont know if the school will write to UKVI saying they made mistake on my CAS or will they ask me to apply for again of which another bank statement will be required, i no longer posses such funds in my account . please i'd like to know if someone has experienced something similar and what my next course of action should be

Domistic:

U can compare the tuition fee and their payment plan ,that will guide you to know WC one to go for. Bradford is a good place and affordable as well,I don't know abt Middlesbrough

Awhyxlim:
Good day everyone, please does anyone know about life in Middlesbrough and Bradford. Got admission to Teesside University and University of Bradford also. Don't know which to go for.
I need to decide based on chances of getting a job, accommodation life, proximity to cities and town life in general. please anyone with first hand knowledge. I have googled these things but keep seeing various answers and views. Thank you.

1)No problem if you want to go for priority but some schools will not release CAS until 3months to start date and also know that you can only travel a month to your start date wc is August
2) study gap is not a barrier to him getting Visa but incase is being called for interview he should be able to defend it

olaness:
Advice needed pls.
1st- My husband is the main applicant. Me and two kids are his dependants. We are thinking of applying March 16 for September start date. We were wondering whether our application may raise negative questions if we pay for priority considering the adequate time. But we are concerned about the wait.

2nd - my husband graduated a long time ago since 2001. But he has masters from Worldquant university - online, 2020. Should he add the masters degree certificate in his visa application to show recent study or will the gap 2001 - 2021 not raise any negative signals?

I'll appreciate your answers.

There are 2 letters. Academic and professional,you can get academic then

Promzy12:
Please guys one of my requirement is a recommendation letter, please how can i get? I do not work in a corporate organization am just a business Guy please help

I am so sorry about this,but with this even if u reapply u will still be called for interview. So be prepared or go for superiority. It is well, don't bite urself too hard over this, accept the things you can't change. You can't change wat you have said but you be better next time.Sending light and love Ur way.

demmysoft:
I was denied entry visa today, kindly advise on what to do please, in fact, totally confused.

I don't know why the consular stated things that is totally different from what I said, may be the consular didn't pick my pronunciation.

Should I go for administrative review or should re-apply asap. Thanks

find below reason for Reasons for Decision
Your application has been refused for the following reason(s):
You were interviewed by this office on 04/02/2021. You confirmed that you wished to study a MSc Cybersecurity at the Teesside University. You stated that you chose this university as it was affordable and because your line manager recommended it, you stated ‘that he is an
alumni there’ and that ‘It’s academic curriculum, module and teaching are in line with my career goal’.

You also stated that ‘They have a very well-resourced IT lab’. These answers are generic and could be applied to many UK Universities. You stated that currently work in IT and your job title is a ‘network analyst’ and you wish to become a ‘cyber security architect’ after completion of the MSc Cybersecurity course,therefore it is not unreasonable to expect you to have some knowledge in IT security. You were asked ‘Could you tell me what a Denial of Service DOS attack is’ you replied ‘When you try to access a service and you are denied access because you are not an authorised
user’, then when asked how you protect against this kind of attack you stated ‘Installing a very strong fire wall. With a very strong passport’. You were also asked ‘In IT security terms, what is Phishing?’ you replied ‘When you are true person sending the mail’. Your answers do
not correctly describe what a Denial of Service DOS attack is or what Phishing is, it is expected that someone who is about to embark on MSc in Cybersecurity would be able to provide answers to basic questions on cybersecurity.

Given your answers regarding why you choose this course, the knowledge of IT security youhave demonstrated and your amount of money it will cost you to gain a further qualification, I
am not satisfied that you meet the requirements of S.T 5.1 and that you are a genuine student.

VISA ALERT!!!!!!!!

mehn it wasn't easy but God came through for me!

I joined this thread September 2020 after i got rejected of a canada student visa, my plan was to go for masters in Uk September 2021 but as God will have it, canada refunded my fees earlier than i thought and admission came through with UK, all through to paying school fees through form A, to proof of funds, to CAS, mehn it was just God ( don't let anyone tell you it's easy) lol i even had delay in collection of my Visa..

Got my CAS- 19th January 2021
Filled in my application- 20th January 2021
Biometrics- 21st January 2021
Collection- 8th February 2021 (12 days after biometrics)
Priority, VI centre

Everything came through for me despite all odds, I wasn't even expecting it, as at the 9th day after biometrics when I wasn't getting any feedback as regards my application, i had to put a call through to UKVI where i was told decision hasn't been taken yet on my application (omo i wanted to ment lol) . She said she will escalate it.
So this morning i decided to put another call through, and i was told a decision had been taken, funny part to it when i collected my passport, it was stamped 26th January (3rd day after biometrics).
I want to thank everyone, those still expecting, your goodnews will come, i also want to thank Victor, dude actually encouraged me through the waiting stage.. God bless

U can't register without ur passport no

CorperAdeniyi:
please someone should answer me, I was on the process of registering/booking my IELTS test on IELTS.ng and I'm required to supply my passport number,is it safe to do so?

God is too faithful to fail. See the way I am blushing as if you are my broda. May the land favours you and your family. Congrats,can't wait to read Slimdolyin and Veejay success stories

OkoromolaFarms:


So sorry for your situation and can imagine how you currently feel. If you do not have the patience to wait, I will advise you re-apply.

My application process

I applied July 19, 2020, did my biometric August 6, 2020, and got first refusal August 26. I applied for administrative review on the same day we got the refusal.
I got a successful AR 28 days after I applied and my case was referred back to the original case working team for my case to be reassessed. I waited for over two months after AR decision (sep 23 - dec 2) after two escalation and got another refusal stating that my 20 million is equivalent to 4K pounds�. I was mad, sad and depressed all together. I did another administrative review pointing out the error, replied the email that sent the refusal decision Cc: compliant and ICI of ukvi and Boader Agency.
On the evening of December 3 I got a mail from the email that sent the decision stating I was right and they will get back that I do not have to apply for another AR. I was excited and felt it was finally over.
Dec 9, I got a mail from complain stating that they are upholding my complaint and I will be called for another interview. Dec 14 got mail for interview for Dec 15 which they did and God came through and the interview was okay.
After waiting for another 5 days (dec 21)without a response from ukvi, I sent another mail stating a case of prejudice against me and my family to work and study pdc, interview, complain and ICI.

December 22 around 9:35pm Uk time for an overturned decision� and a link to pay IHS will be sent. Thinking that was the end, we got the IHS link for the last dependent January 15 after plenty call and email.

We finally got visa on Thursday February 4, 2021.

It was not easy at all. The process took us 6 months of pressure from work, school and UKVI.
God actually gave us the wisdom and strength to endure and keep pushing.

If you can wait and be ready for the trouble UKVI will give (never get surprised) go for the administrative review

I hope this will help someone take an informed decision and you can also ask me any questions.

Schools differ but it is always on the sch website

ODAVI:
Please can’t anyone give me alternatives on paying for a priority visa? I have been trying to make the payments for a while now and my cards have been declining blah blah blah.

Use ur dollar card or ask someone to pay it for you in uk

Getting ur call logs is not same as getting your bank statement. These are the simple steps to follow
1)write a letter requesting for it.
2)take it to police station
3)IPO will take it to ASP to append his/her signature (that is the least person that can sign it)
4)the IPO will take it to telecom office
5)when is ready they will call the IPO
6)IPO will handle it over to you
I hope find this useful

Veejaytv1:
I have started lectures online and I'm doing and submit assignments already for this session, I don't know what to do now

Kindly allow me to work in ur shoes. Calm your nerves,it is hard but is the best option for you now. Double check again,if ur phone no is correctly typed and
go for an admistrative review. Like I said before take ur mind off January, honestly you will be fine. You have got enough advice already, kindly work on them. Sending love and light your way

Veejaytv1:
I mailed them like 3 hours after the intended call, that i didn't receive any calls and they never responded to me, and I mailed again yesterday morning I didn't receive any calls as well it was later that day I got the letter

Even with this some schools will not release CAS until 3months to start date wc is June

DeeOneBangin:
I don’t really have much to say but please I beg us to start our applications now. Uk has given us that edge to be able to apply for visa 6 months before start of lectures.

Errors can happen, unforeseen circumstances and all. 6 months is a lot of time to correct genuine mistakes or errors either from us or from the eco.

Good luck to us all.

Administrative review might take longer time but it is your best option cos that decision was harsh and unfair but if u can as well reapply all the same. Take Jan 2021 out of ur mind,go for September intake and I am certain u will get favourable answer

Veejaytv1:
Please break it down, I need advise that's why I'm here sir?

I am so sorry about this,this ECO woke up on the wrong side of his bed and made harsh conclusion. Did he try to call you back? It is well with you,I share your pain.

Veejaytv1:
Please I need an advise right now please I don't know what do I have gone to the network office to request for my call history, I got my refusal letter today because they called and they said I didn't pick, which I never saw any call or missed call please help me with with advise @justwise @babajeje123 and any one who can advise me I'm depressed right now, I did everything perfectly, sent an email after I waited 3 hours yesterday and several people have called me with international numbers and it came through what do I need to apply for administrative review please?

Yes but there is a link shared on how to sort this sometimes ago
