You will not get a different response. That is the rule. Parents or sponsorship bodies.

Also, sponsorship is not just any company, there are recognized sponsorship bodies.

Do read the first page of this thread or google relevant/acceptable student sponsors

https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/register-of-licensed-sponsors-students

ibk5891:
Is it a must your sponsor is a company? What if my sponsor is an individual (not my parent) and he is ready to give me a letter of sponsorship.

@justwise I need you on this bro.

Refer to tuition amount (balance) stated on your CAS. If you see/feel deduction has not been made contact the school to effect the change.

Living expenses + tuition balance

Kyrie4:
Hi all,

For POF, if the university give me a 2k pounds tuition discount, can i remove the 2k from the total to be shown as POF, or must i have the original complete tuition + living expenses in my account?

cc @justwise

Standard - 15 working days
Priority - 5 working days
Above stated are standard times. Do take into account period you apply. Late November into December may have higher volume of applications.

Hi,

Your Bsc only.

MaBuk:
Please I used direct entry to gain admission to a Nigerian university. Do I need transcript for both OND and Bsc to apply for UK Masters Admission. I have my university transcript right now but I am confused if I need to apply for ond transcript as well?

Yes.

Someone with a Bsc is currently studying another Bsc. Do have a clear and definitive reason (and conviction) you are taking up a second 1st degree.

Kollinburg:
Good morning Active minds

I want to congratulate everyone expecting their decisions on their visa submission

Pls I have been following not quite long enough buh I would like to ask

Can I apply for Bsc at age 25 again ?

Although I graduated with Hnd and i see the top up and the premasters are so expensive for me to pay first payment at the moment

So I’m thinking going for a fresh bsc is it very possible?


Have a lovely day

Persons with genuine marriages/relationship have nothing to worry about no matter the 'stringent' criteria/terms introduced.

Aside the marriage license/certificate, there is always something else prove the relationship.

My take.

Horlarjummie:
Haaa!� This shouldn't be o. Abeg please don't implicate the genuine marriages for God's sake o. Before they start introducing more threatening TC This long awaiting process is frustrating enough.
Did biometrics since 17th of sep. Priority taking a long thing like sey na standard.
Hmmm.....IT IS WELL
All I know is, I must to come here and share my testimony by God's grace.
Delay no go lead to denial by God's grace.

Hi,

Try - Premium lounge, Prime time, Flexi/walk-in (I read this one is a headache these days).

Also, try the wee hours of the morning.

Do not share your login details with anyone please.

Tamp2017:

Which service allows an earlier date for biometrics? The date given to my cousin is too far and I don’t want to be in the same situation. Who has gotten Teesside admission for Jan? Please let’s link up

Yes. Also opt for a service that allows an earlier date for biometrics.

harrrry:
hello house, the start date on my CAS is 12th October. Can I submit my Visa application with it today and opt for priority?

If you do not have your fees, either by personal savings, firm commitment from family/ friends or on scholarship…… please do not test UK universities. Their sponsorship license is more important to them.

Our country man came to the information desk very disturbed and begging not to be sent back to Nigeria because cultist will k*ll him.

He was unable to pay the 50% fees pre- registration and had written to the school to defer his admission for a year (after landing). The school in turn withdrew his admission and sponsorship ( as HEP with a track record) and reported same.

UKVI has cancelled/withdrawn his visa.

Who school help right? If one fails to register for their program, same applies.

If one chooses to be in the category that cannot travel anywhere (even back home), cannot work, cannot rent, always watching your back…. Then by all means.

Also, some schools insist on balance 50% as one payment, no installments. Check before you apply.

True.
Also, this ‘my/an agent said/did it’ should stop already.

Babababy:
A while back in June, if my memory serves me correctly! quite a number of individuals came here asking questions about single ladies who are applying alone for student visa. One guy in particular was asking the single ladies to contact him privately for further details ,my guess back then was marriage arrangement for visa purposes.

Fast forward, and suddenly alot of individuals are having trouble with proving their marriage status to ukvi ,seems like people that are not genuinely married have been sending in application hence the scrutiny to marriage applications. The flip side of this, is that both genuine and fake marriages would be giving the same treatment thus making it frustrating for the genuine applicants.

I honestly hope people dont mess up this process through bad behaviour, ukvi would be forced to change some rules if people persist with this type of bad behaviour.

You will need more than a marriage certificate except your have made a previous successful joint application.

Dygeasy:
Good morning guys,

Quick question. For a couple planning to travel with one spouse as dependant, do their passports have to bear the same name or the marriage certificate will suffice?

Thank you

Nice one @ deduction as scholarship

Esitelo:


So I asked this question earlier
My husband has been able to get PTA but in dollars with a one way ticket. He showed evidence that his school gave scholarship. So if your school gave a discount on the original tuition even if its 2000 pounds deduction, this serves as a scholarship.

- Wife’s change of name
- HMO cards
- Congratulatory letter on your marriage from the office
- Tenancy agreement
- Flight ticket bought together -old/recent
- Wedding photos and holiday photos
- Weddings invitation
- Letter from your religious leader (Oga at the top)
- Previous applications
- Pension next of kin document
-Car documents
- Non incriminating emails/text/WhatsApp
- Relevant larger family WhatsApp group chat

Gunit87:
We have hospital letter but in our individual names but we have family pictures

Nothing wrong with trying.

Kunleop:


Fresh passport

Fresh or renewal?

I made applications with my expired passport and got offers. However, a valid passport was a prerequisite for an unconditional offer.

Kunleop:
Good evening house

Pls I am asking the question on behalf of friend,

He want to apply for school in UK but her international passport is not yet out, she has done d capturing just waiting for the booklet.

Can she go ahead to apply for school? Or she need to hold on till d passport out.

Note.. She's already have her transcripts and all other requirements for application.

Thank you. This should be referenced especially for those going with dependents.

For right-to-rent I had to provide my CAS since my school will only start releasing BRP cards next Monday. Some agents accept it.

Additionally, we offered 6 months rent as advised in another forum, but when the contact came, it stated 1 month/monthly payments. Guessing this is in line with your 3rd point.

Babababy:


Some tips on how to secure accomodation.

1.You need a UK phone number when registering on sites like zoopla,onthemarket etc. You can register with your Nigerian number though, but they wont take your request too seriously. They would usually call to follow up an application and once its an International number ,your chances of them calling you is very slim

2. Most of them would request you to view the property, a viewing request means you have to be in the Uk or have someone that can view on your behalf.Viewing also shows serious intent .

3. When they advertise a property for rent and place a £500 rent on it, just an example. When communicating with the agent, make an additional offer of like £550 instead, you are more likely to get a response from the agency. They dont tell you but most rentals are up for bids, and they like a higher bid because the agent gets more.

4. Download your right to rent status, and attach it to your application. It would eliminate any ambiguity the agency might have about your immigration status . You can get your right to rent status from this link attached here

https://www.gov.uk/prove-right-to-rent

5.It would help a great deal if you have a current job, sounds like impossible because you are a student but it Is what it is. During the pandemic, the government mandated that waivers should be extended to people who cant pay rent hence a lot of landlords were short changed. Most landlords now basically want to rent property to only people with jobs, who can pay the rent

There is a current surge in rental properties at the moment, and its a contest getting accomodation. Once a property goes up for rental, they get multiple applications and the agencies are mostly interested in tenants who can pay rent, and your student status is apparently a disadvantage.

The link below can also help in understanding some pointers

https://www.ukcisa.org.uk/Information--Advice/Preparation-and-Arrival/Planning-your-housing#layer-3094


Finally keep trying, something would eventually turn up

You are right. After visa.

Had to get CAS updated after additional payment before applying.

Thanks

Exoticmm:
CAS or visa?

Siblings - No

ocpaschal:
Pls how does one really apply as a dependant in UK? After
getting admitted as a postgraduate student to a UK
university, and with a student visa, is it possible to bring my
brother (sibling) as a dependent to UK afterwards?

As you selected is correct

awwal1117:
@justwise @mimilyrics @all

Please am completing UK dependant child application for my son (3years) and I will be using my bank statement for the proof of fund. Please which option do I have to choose here? Picture attached. Thanks

Pay an additional 4,500 after receiving your CAS.

MerryCoke:
Good evening house. Please I need to make some enquiries as I am confused.

I got admission to Bradford Uni with tuition fee 18K. While the course has 5K discount, I am required to pay a deposit of 2K. But I saw I have to pay 50% of the total tuition before enrollment. My question is that can I count the discount as part of the 50%?

Please help.

Make an application for your student visa

Ufodeking:
My Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) is out!!!.
What is the next stage?

Do send a mail so they are aware. With quarantine and all, you will not meet up.

I know my classes start on the 4th too, but I received an email last week that the final resumption for classes is the 25th of October.

Ipajaprince:


Yes it's today but luckily classes start Oct 4,do I need to mail the school?

Thanks!

Hi.

Is this a blood or distant relative?

I do not think it is an issue though.

Not sure immigration officers readily have information on your application. This they can get if ever one gets the white slip.

Many have used school address or booked a hotel and quarantined elsewhere. I did same. mine was a different city, but I did declare I had an in-law in my application.

The passenger locator form, if memory serves me right, did not ask name of my host, just address and my phone number.

Please always try to declare these things or just stay away totally (at least on record)

Olab92:


Good afternoon house… please I’m still waiting for candid advice, because we are about to book our locator form

What program are you applying for? This will determine if said references will add worth to your application.

Newbie123:


Any help please?

This is awesome!

Congratulations @Ipajaprince! Resumption is today right? I am sure the school will give a week or two to get here.

Ipajaprince:


Thanks for your kind assistance.. just picked up my passports with visa for me and spouse

To board?

Yes. It is advised.

Vecharry:
Can I go with soft copies of my covid results to Qatar airways

It’s dependent on the exchange rate for the day. Bank rate that is.

Card transactions come with an additional fee, so use between 415 to 422 to calculate.

Some banks have higher charges than others.

Samadhii:
Please, this is really URGENT.
When paying for IHS using dollar card, what rate will be used? I don't understand how it works

Congrats.

No pre-departure test for none of the kids

Day 2 and 8 for only your 6 and 8 year old.

- Some companies were recommended for both few pages back. I used Dante but their result delivery was delayed.

- Check location of lab against where you will stay for the period.

timojerry:
Good evening people,

I applied for my students visa for a school in England for me and my family and we've been granted. Leaving soon God willing. I've got kids with ages 8, 6 and 1. Are my kids expected to do PCR Covid tests before they travel to England because I checked on the gov.uk website and I really don't understand the English there. I read that kids coming to England under 11 aren't suppose to do pre Covid tests before they travel. Please can anyone who's recently gone or about going confirm this?

Can anyone recommend where I can do pre Covid tests cheaply in Lagos for my family if the kids are required to do it also?

Can anyone also suggest a cheaper days 2 and 8 test also in England?

I'll greatly appreciate if these are answered

Thank you

I wanted to ‘waka pass’ from this conversation but just had to chip this in.

When you get to the UK (will not use ‘if’), do not, I repeat, DO NOT try this. Unlearn it now by filling this ‘complicated’ visa application form yourself. Nobody should be privy to ANY information about you.

You can PM for information, that’s your choice (though all you need is right here), but do not open up your LIFE via your application to anyone.

Identity theft is real. One day you wake up and you have bad credit or called in by the police on charges you know absolutely nothing about.

This is not a blame game nor an IQ test challenge.

A friend just finished a 4 year long battle to clear a case on identity theft.

Use booking.com because of time constraint.

There are hotels for about 800 pounds (used family of 4) for 18days.

You can adjust as required.

jummiedel:
Good morning everyone, please I have a very big issue at hand. I'm having problem securing accommodation in aberdeen and without this, I can't fill my locator form. Please if there is anyone here that can assist my family in getting a 2 bedroom flat in aberdeen should please contact me on +2347032042110. My flight is scheduled for this Wednesday. Thank you.

It will not hurt to try.
Did you try the premium lounge subscription? I read it worked for some people.

Cynosure95:
Good morning house,

My Biometrics date at Ikeja is Thursday 23 September while that of my wife ( Dependant) is Monday 20 September.


Does anyone know if i will be grant access using my wife date and pay for Walk in since i am the Main applicant. I don't look good for me for dependant to do biometrics before the main applicant


Please help a brother

This is a myth. Not straightforward is simply ‘not straightforward’.

It’s not a denial either.

lobsa:


Congratulations!
I think applying with dependent at the same time is a major risk factor to getting the non straight forward email and i think the email simply means “sorry we can’t review your applications right now because it’s connected to another person (dependent) I.e not straight forward and right now we have a lot on our hands,we’ll surely review your applications later though might be outside the normal time frame.”
I strongly advise that the main applicant and dependent apply at different times to avoid high BP. Dependent can apply after the main applicant is given visa.
