Hello guys I greet you all.

So I will be applying for a student visa in a couple of days and I need guidance as to what to upload. I (female) is the MA and I will be applying with my partner.

All my documents, international passport, offer letter and CAS is carrying my full name (maiden name). I got married October ending 2022 and I recently do a change of name and newspaper publication 8days ago.

1) I want to know if there's any need submitting the affidavit for change of name and newspaper publication since all my documents are still in my name? Asking because I do not want to complicate things for myself.

2) when filling the visa form and the asked for my name will I have to fill in all of my name as it's on my documents or I will have to use my husband's surname since I have changed my name?

3) My husband was living in a town close to my town before we got married and before our marriage he was planning to come settle in the town where I live. After our marriage he relocated to my town and started living with me due to house agents stress/wahala though he takes care of the bills anyways. Our registry certificate carries his former address and also showing our current address as my address. I hope this wont be a red flag?

4) Lastly, these are the list of documents I plan to upload for him during the visa application. His international passport, MA (POF), Consent letter to use POF, Home office consent letter, TB result, Marriage certificate, family pictures. Is this okay? He's scared and wants us to pay an agent to help us with the application but I'm scared of using an agent.

@all @gurus in the house please help me I need reply.

Thank you

Kindly apply to another school because Bangor will leave you hanging for eternity. They are good with given conditional offer under 24hrs but to see unconditional offer is war

Hello Team,
@duchess90,
Please I entered application for of my 3 Dependents kids, on the 8th they went for biometrics. I got passport collection mail for 2 of them on the 15th and brp letters for them on the 17th.I inquired about the outstanding application on the 18th, response was "awaiting decision".
On the 20th I got brp letter for the outstanding application but the application is still at DMC.

Did paid mail on 23rd regarding the application, response was that decision made and I would contact by VAC when passport is ready for collection. Please what else can I do? To have the application moved to VAC?

Thanks.

Thank you for your reply

Outstandingmam:
Not at all. What made you think that?

Pay your 1st session school fees, apply for residence permit.

What you need in your account is your upkeep for 1 year and if you succeed, they'll give you residence permit that'll carry you for your 2 years masters or 4 years BSC as the case maybe.

So the balance tuition for the remaining 2yrs plus living expenses should be in my account to apply for rp?

Thank you

Outstandingmam:
You pay fees for 1 session at a time

Did you apply and complete your 2yrs postgraduate visa before the global talent visa?

yusufDeveloper:
Thank you for all you do. You really guided me when I was applying for my student visa long time ago, you may have forgotten thou... I have completed my studies and I have switched to Tier 1 Global talent visa without needing any sponsorship..

University of Stirling is way to go. Payment plan is flexible and the school is well rated in the UK too. Kindly confirm this rating on Google it's among the top 45 schools in UK

Deposit is £3000

Enrollment £1000

POF to get CAS (try tagging the school agent so you get CAS within 5days when your POF is ready)

You have the option of paying balance in 12 months installment.

Goodluck

SandyDandy:
Greetings my people

You applied recently I guess. Most schools must have gotten enough students already hence the delay and you may probably not even hear from them again.

Try considering applying for January 2024.

DelCrux:
This admission is becoming tiring, I applied to 5-6 schools, Sheffield hallam no response, Wolverhampton decision still pending, BCU no response, RGU nothing yet, Southwales asking for IELTS bolt on gave an unconditional offer but no email regarding payment or CAS..what am I doing wrong. Help

Visa fee is 470 - 473 dollar as at now

IHS is 918 dollar for a year course as at now.

Fraih:
Hi Baggylee
Does this visa fee change? I read somewhere where someone said he was debited for 490pounds

This is University of Ulster for you. They will see you a number starting with D00..... and B00.... asking you to log in using this two numbers and re upload your documents. You should try to upload your documents

Kemdy97:
Please i applied for MSC Data science in ulster university for over 2 months now and I am yet to get a response regarding my Admission rather they keep requesting for re upload of document formally uploaded

Please who else is experiencing same from ulster university

Thank you for your reply.

Let's say I apply for Bsc and I guess Bsc is for 3yrs.

Will I have to pay total tuition fee for the 3yrs in full before applying for residence permit?





[quote author=Outstandingmam post=123310358][/quote]

Do they accept 3rd class for a master program?

How much is application fee?

Kindly give me a range of their tuition like from the minimum to maximum

Do one need to pay tuition deposit or one must pay first year tuition in full?

How much is living expenses? And I guess this has to be in an application account plus the balance of the tuition fee yea?

How many months bank statement do one need to show for RP application?

Do I need to show employment letter/reference letter as proof of employment for RP application?

Thanks for your reply

Outstandingmam:
No longer free but plenty schools offer scholarship

Anyone with idea please share

My cousin was refused student visa yesterday. I have attached the refusal letter below.

What can he put together before reapplying for the visa and how soon can he reapply? Kindly see the letter and give me replies.

He his broken and has refused coming out from his room since yesterday.

I will be reading all reply. Thank you guys

Myself and my dependent will look into these cities. I appreciate

Progressivegee:
I have lived in worthing and I don't know why that town is unreasonably expensive. I guess because it's close to the sea, quiet and a retirement town. Cost of houses (rent) is even more than south east London. Southampton and Brighton are also expensive. You can try East Preston, Goring by sea, Lancing, and littlehampton as these areas are cheaper and you will find more new built houses there.

Myself and my dependent will look up jobs in Brighton.

Thanks for the heads up

Dygeasy:
Eastbourne is your best bet as it's closer to Sussex Uni and Brighton's city center as a whole. You also don't want to be too far away from job locations/opportunities. Brighton offers that in abundance.

Ehhhh na wa ooooh. Then struggling to get sponsorship job is better than seeking a permanent role then

hustla:
Yes

So lucky indeed

heroshark:
A student

I really do not understand.

The jobs with these firms refusing to give sponsorship are they not a permanent role

If one is able to get a permanent job role do they still need a sponsorship

Wait for your reply

Thanks

Aphrodite007:
Sweetheart. Nothing annoys me more than someone’s who’s been lucky not understanding others pains OR making it look like others aren’t hardworking/lucky enough. I’m one of the most privileged and lucky Nigerians in the Uk, worked just 4 years here and on 140k all before 30 but I never act like others aren’t working hard enough or lucky enough or feel their pain. I’m the exception, not the rule.

Because I exist doesn’t meant others don’t. Because you can’t relate doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be empathetic/sympathetic neither does it allow you to discount the pain is the majority.

And for someone that steadily recruits my profession, 80% of corporate companies don’t sponsor due to fear or lack of understanding of the regulations. So unless someone is applying to the big 4 or top IT, NHS or govt.. there’s likely no sponsorship.

Ok.

Congrats on your 3 offers.

Are you the student or the dependent??

heroshark:
I really can't relate to the idea that firms are refusing to sponsor candidates. I came in last year September and by February this year I have received 3 offers from different firms with two offering to sponsor me. I don't know if I am just lucky or that other students/immigrants are failing to due their due diligence and instead chose care jobs as the easy way out.

During my interview, I do try to make it as clear as possible that I'm unable to join them without visa sponsorship.

This will go a long way. Thank you

Which among these cities: Eastbourne, Worthing, Littlehampton, Hampden park, Portsmouth, Southampton and it's environs is abit affordable to live in with cheap accommodation and also have jobs

ps: current student at university of sussex and hubby is the dependent.

@Lexusgs430 @mamatukwas @all

Thank you

Will one have to show second year tuition in POF

Thank you

Bourne007:
Only the first 9 months is calculated for maintenance fees no matter the duration of course.

I do not understand what you meant by Government letter..please throw more light on this let me see if I can get this to add to my application.

Then for GP letter can I submit family card from our dentist?

Thanks you

mimilyrics:
Submit your documents + your marriage certificate.
It's not compulsory to change your name to your husband's after marriage and the UKVI understands that as It's normal in the UK.

What UKVI needs to know is that your marriage is genuine. You can prove this with your marriage certificate, pictures, proof of you living together since you got married (bills, GP letters, Govt letters e.t.c.), joint account & joint investments with both your names and any other docs that can prove that your marriage is real.

Congratulations to you and your family.

Can you direct me to where I can see and download the home office consent form?

Thank you
