TravelRe: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered Part 4 by fakmurphy(m): 1:02pm On Nov 09, 2020
For those who are still curious about how important the UK address on the TB certificate is, I got this email from my university's international office.

''Morning



The address shouldn’t matter on the form – when you fill in the visa form, put the correct address and in the notes section at the end of the visa application, put a note to explain the TB certificate has the wrong address and your new UK address is in the application form



Best wishes''

@JUSTWISE what a relief! thanks. Did you see the list of my documents, am I good to go?
I will print a fresh statement when it's time.

justwise:
1.Don't worry yourself about the address thing. Point it out during your visa application. Basically, the way you did here.

2. Print a fresh bank statement.

@justwise please help.

fakmurphy:
Hello everyone, Gurus in the house. Firstly, please I'd like to ask if I should be worried about the UK address on my TB Certificate. Here's the thing, I did the TB test in August while I wasn't sure which University offer I will be accepting ( I have a couple of offers from different universities). So I have just decided to go with an offer from a Uni. in Cardiff but my TB certificate does not carry this University's address but my previous flat address in Scotland. I hope this is not a problem when applying for my visa?

Secondly, can I use the bank statement that was printed 3 weeks ago in applying for TIER 4 VISA? (I still have my maintenance funds and all intact in the account). I and my family will be applying together, and these are the documents that I am planning to submit with my application;

CAS
DOCUMENTS LISTED ON MY CAS
BANK STATEMENT
KIDS BIRTH CERT.
MARRIAGE CERT. & WIFE'S CHANGE OF NAME ADVERT.
PASSPORTS
LETTER OF INTRODUCTION & SPONSOR (WIFE AND KIDS)
TB CERT.

I hope you can assist me in reviewing this and give me your suggestions. Thanks.

I was curious that was why I asked. I put a UK residential address since I wasn't sure which UNi I'll be choosing then.

Can I do it for all my dependents at the same time in their absence? and must I pay 8900 for each of us?

otunbamoteez:
Just pay 8,500 into IOM standard chartered account, and go to their office between monday to friday 9am to 1pm to make the changes to the address. they will attend to you immediately and reissue your certificate. I just did same last month.

Hi, is anyone going to the University of south wales next Jan?. I am going for the two years MBA global and I'd like to connect with fellow students. Thanks.
TravelRe: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered Part 4 by fakmurphy(m): 4:29pm On Jul 27, 2020
Many thanks, I really appreciate your advise. All the best to you too.

mamacajah:
Ok, so there are a few schools who do give sponsorship for PHD (Essex for example)..but I don't have the full details..
However since your plan is a tier-2, then you can do another masters (you are not alone.. a lot of us are going for 2nd masters, so relax your mind and go for your desired course) as long as you can justify academic progression to the school and the visa officer.. the main thing is to get the admission..once you have it, and the school confirms you meet their academic progression criteria, I believe you are good to go...Wish you the best..
TravelRe: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered Part 4 by fakmurphy(m): 12:24pm On Jul 27, 2020
Thanks for your advice. My plan is to convert to Tier2 later after studying not that I am a bookworm or something, and from your explanation is like both routes (MBA and PhD) might offer such. For some personal reasons (Especially financial) I have my reservation for a Ph.D., I do not want to start something that I might not have the financial strength to complete thereby putting all years effort in jeopardy. However, the reason for seeking your advice is owing to the fact that I have had a Master's degree in the UK in 2015, and a little bit worried if this MBA Tier 4 visa would fly considering the academic progression rules among others from UKBA.

mamacajah:
First of all, congrats on your PHD admission..I Hail oh..That is so awesome! shocked.
However, my advise is based on two factors...
Are you lookingfor a faster way to get tier-2 sponsorship or really love school and want to get a PHD?
For the first option, you can either go for the 2 year MBA or start your PHD, apply for a job and change tier-4 to tier 2 in your 2nd or 3rd year of studies...
For the second you could complete the PHD and get a job as a lecturer ..also note that PHD now has 3 years PSW..so it's also a god option to take.

In summary, decide exactly your purpose for going to the UK. No one can categorically say if its easier to get a job with the MBA after completion than with the PHD...everything depends on your capability and how you could utilise the opportunities available to you... wish you the best...

Thanks for your help. You have been a good source of information for me since 2014.
justwise:
Ok good, then your problem is almost non-existence, in your visa application just briefly mention why you are embarking on second masters, its only natural for people to wonder why you need a second masters and only you knows why and that is what you need to explain.

You also likely to be asked the same question during your visa application interview.

justwise:
Your problem will not be necessarily wit the embassy, its your school, you need to convince your school why you need a second masters if they gave you an admission then you can use the same reason for visa application.
Thanks, they have already offered me the admission unconditionally. I was engaged in a 15 minutes video interview and they had me filled a CAS questionnaire prior to getting the offer.
TravelRe: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered Part 4 by fakmurphy(m): 7:07pm On Jul 26, 2020
Hello, pros in the house. I need your advice because I'm in a dilemma. This is my situation; I finished a Masters degree in the UK in 2015 and I have been working in Nigeria ever since. Recently, I received like 4 PhD unconditional offers from unis in the UK { after tedious application and interviews), and a 2 years MBA from one notable uni in the UK.

Left to me, I'd prefer to enrol for the MBA ( as a business owner). My question; How certain is it to secure a tier 4 visa for a second masters? ( I'm applying from Nigeria). I have read on gov.uk that anyone applying outside of the UK doesn't need to show academic progression when applying for a second Masters for instance but I still need first hand information.

Your advice will really be helpful.

@justwise, please finish my case.

1. Are you suggesting that your employees does not pay tax?[i] We only pay the FIRS Annual tax return, nothing is payed on behalf of the employees. Are you saying we must apply for a taxpayer I'd for them? How many months tax should we pay on their behalf?

Do we also need to give them payslips?




Have your company ever sent any of your worker outside Nigeria before? Yes the senior manager always attend conference and training in the UK.

2. Employment letter, salary account and letter from the company detailing the trip

3. No

4. They need to draw budget for the trip then you transfer the money into their accounts but that needs to be explained in the letter.

TravelRe: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 4 by fakmurphy(m):
Good morning great people. Last week I asked some questions about the possibility of getting Visa for our 2 staffs who are attending a free tech show in April. After careful consideration of your advice we have searched for a paid tech show coming up in June.

The company will be paying the staffs admission to the event, flight, accommodation and feeding. Each of them earn between 300-350k/monthly.


So my questions;

1) What are the documents to be supplied by the firm. We usually pay staffs salaries into their accounts without payslips or tax deduction.

2) What are the documents to be supplied by the applicants themselves?.

3) is it a must for us to get them a taxpayer I'd with tax clearance?

4) Is it better to transfer the cost of their travelling, hotel,feeding and so on directly to their accounts and let them handle the visa themselves, if so what are the documents for them to apply with?
TravelRe: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 4 by fakmurphy(m): 9:51am On Jan 07, 2020
Thanks, so that means we have to find another paid show. I will still come back to ask the questions on documentation whenever I'm ready.

It does and it will be difficult for your company to convince the ECO that sending 2 staff to the UK for property show is feasible venture .

How will two days property show benefit your company compare that to the cost of those two staff traveling for the show

Hi great people of this institution, @justwise et all. I'd like to seek some clarification on UK Visa application. By April, my firm is sending 2 staffs to London for a 2 days property investor show, the admission to the exhibition is free of charge so we're only paying the staffs (attendees) for flight, accommodation and feeding. So my questions; 1) What are the documents to be supplied by the firm. We usually pay staffs salaries into their accounts without payslips or tax deduction. 2) What are the documents to be supplied by the applicants themselves?. 3) Although we stand to gain a lot from the event but does the fact that the admission to show is free of charge raises an eyebrow from the embassy?.
TravelRe: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by fakmurphy(m): 2:20pm On Oct 23, 2018
Let me advise you. Getting a UK visa is not about the amount of money in your account but about the combination of some other things.
Ask yourself these questions;
Are you able to afford this trip without braking your bank account/?
How well established are you in Nigeria?
How meaningful is your proposed visit to UK?
What is/are those things that you've in Nigeria that will compel you to leave UK at the end of your visit?

The answers to these question will be your guide. If you read this space from page 1 you'll have a good understanding of the kind of documents you'll need to apply for the visa.

Good morning everyone.

Please I need help and advice.

I applied for a UK standard visa for the first time this year, was issued, used it for what was intended and it expired this September. Have another training in the UK this week and I applied last week Monday for my visa. I emailed the international call centre to track my application and was told my visa status was decided Sunday midnight. The issue is that I am yet to receive a pick up email from the visa application centre at Ikeja and my training is due to start on Wednesday. Please what do you advice I do?

Any suggestion will help.

Thank you so much.
The only thing you can do is to wait. On the UK embassy website it is clearly stated that most applications would be assessed within 15 working days and if there's a need for any applicant to wait longer the embassy will send you an email to that effect. The only exemption would probably be for applicants who paid for priority or super priority.

Good Morning my good friends! I want to renew my UK visa to 2years. I have understood there is no option in the website for visa renewal then I apply as fresh application.
Now I want to renew my visa using conference /workshop as my reasons for applying which will not take Max two weeks and I need a 2year visa.
Is it possible for VO to grant you 2year visa for just a conference or do I use the previous reasons I gave which is visiting my cousin. Also is it possible for you to tick 6months and VO will grant 2years for me since it's renewal.
Secondly I have 7.6M in my account but transfered 1.5 to a very close relation to support him for something. Will that affect my visa. My bank transaction details is transparent . I work in one of the oil and gas industry and receive upto 600k per month. My fear is that huge amount I removed from my account if it will speak against me.

Please I your advice
Let me weigh in on this. Firstly, there's no such thing as Visa renewal in UK application, that means you must meet the conditions for the class of Visa you're applying at every application. Although, your travel history to UK and compliance with your previous Visa rule can be of advantage in getting a positive assessment that alone can not grant you another Visa.

Secondly, if you need 2yrs Visa you must indicate this in your application and pay the correct application fee.You can apply for long term visa even if you're visiting for 2 days now but make sure you show prove of reasons to likely visit the UK frequently in the future. If you fail to prove this you might be given a short term visa and you'll not likely get a refund.

Lastly, about money in your account, make sure you explain why (in your cover letter) such money was transferred out of your account. In my opinion, I think you should pay more attention to inflows of funds into your account and be ready to provide substantial evidence to support reasons and origins of large deposits within the 6 months period.

I'd like to ask if it's something I should worry about?, because canceling/changing the appointment date will attract lost of 77$ user fee and some other long process.
