Good day all,

Please I'd like to confirm two things:

1. Amidst the state of emergency in Ukraine, is the Embassy in Nigeria still issuing student visas?
2. If No to the first question, Please how can I go about passport retrieval?

One of the reasons I considered Ukraine for study was affordability while having competitive ranking in the world. But It seems part payment in the UK would have to do.

Thank you.

Yes they are and airlines are flying in and out of Ukraine, the war is not affecting student visa holders or foreigners.

Nigerians are special species

umarwy:
Have the kid updated her records in NIMC?

Has S/He captured for passport in Abuja?

nice2men:
Thank you. Please what are the requirements? She is over 18years and I was told she is ineligible to apply as a dependant due to her age.

Ok i have to revisit the rule again regarding age of dependant, yes its true that over 18 is not eligible but you still have a case considering that your daughter is disabled. Do you have her medical papers that state her condition? Who is looking after her now that you are away?

With a detailed explanation and paper evidence she stands a good chance of getting a visa

nice2men:
How can a student already in UK bring his 18 years old Austistic daughter into the UK as a dependant??
Justwise pls help.

Of course you can as long as you meet the requirements

Iamkoolkay:
During my dependents application, they requested for my visa expiry date.
Is it the visa expiry date on my passport or my BRP expiry date.
Note: My visa expiry date is April 2022.
Pls advise @justwise�

You have only one visa and that is what they are asking for. BRP effectively is a visa

Lexusgs430:
The intention is to be in, for the long term ......... Major shares already lost over 60% value........

I don’t see myself locking up my money on Russian stock for a long period unless it’s a penny stock.

If Russia end up taking up Ukraine and establish another political leader there more painful sanctions will come from US and the rest of the world.

Lexusgs430:
Is this the best time to buy Russian stock..........

I'm thinking the same but nobody knows how hard the sanction will hit their economy and for how long

MznAirA:
No he only did the capturing and all on the old one. Then he renewed the passport and attached the old and new together for submission to TLS for visa approval.

He has not done anything wrong, there is no need to contact the embassy for anything. The TLS guy is talking nonsense

Iamkoolkay:
I tried filling my dependent visa application, after completion, I was redirected to IHS which I filled but no amount was advised to pay. I was only instructed to pay visa application fee. Pls what could be the problem? @justwise

Continue with the application at some point you will be asked to pay, if you are not asked to pay and your visa comes out then carry on with your normal day to day life.

MznAirA:
Please I need advice.
My brother renewed his passport after he has done his biometric and capturing. He applied with his wife and son(dependant) and they have been issued their visa. His passport would expire in June and because it does not cover for the duration of his stay in the UK he had to renew.
Now the issue is the embassy is saying he has cancelled the first biometric he did on the old passport and the probability of him getting the Visa is shaky right now. He also has a deadline to resume in the school by month end.
Is there anyone with experience of such and how we can handle this. He has also sent a mail to the embassy explaining why he renewed (also because of the rule in Nigeria of renewing a passport with 6months validity).

Please I need advice and guidance on how best this can be resolved

Please clarify this ..

He was issued a visa on his old passport before he renewed it?

Akorkor:
Thank you. I have called and a new account has been created for us. They will also reimbursed us the money spent.

I appreciate everyone that put mouth for my matter today o. Peerielass, thank you.

Ok that is great

Akorkor:
Justwise, please do you have experience with stand-alone heater? I have used it before in US and it helps making the room hot faster but don’t know how the charges would be for electricity in the UK? Do you think it’s worth trying?

I wouldn’t encourage it, yes you are right about it getting the room hotter faster but the same way the hotness disappears the moment you switched it off and the bill comes off your Topup meter.

Peerielass:
Justwise, the photo says the meter is currently £17.95 or so in debt. Surely she couldn’t have used £37.95 since yesterday.

You are right, it’s about his usage currently, the previous tenant did the deed

Akorkor:
Not up to 12hrs. But the previous tenant is owning

That is the problem, each time you Topup the meter will take the money owed by the previous tenant

Call them and explain this

Akorkor:
I got an update now after calling scottish power and I got to know that the previous tenant is using OVOenergy. Pay as you go.

I don't even understand this thing anymore

How long did you heat or use the £20 Topup? It’s absolutely possible to use up £20 within a day if you used it longer than necessary

UnbiasedOne:
They stopped my guy. Airspace closed too. Only choice is try to drive west direction but bombs dropping now. Jamaican government offered the students loans to leave

Rekay:
Airspace is closed bro....we are moving towards lviv to get to poland border

This is sad.

UnbiasedOne:
Jamaican students in Ukraine uploading videos to Twitter. You can hear bombs crashing in background and they’re scared for their lives

I really hope that those who want to leave will be allowed to leave now before airports are closed or flights stopped flying in and out of Ukraine

Bola6748292:
Abeg, gerraut it’s a lie, they lied about not allowing planes to enter, check the news is all cap,
They trying to worry people to make sure they don’t look at other problems for example, the gas in Ukraine now is 3 times cost then before, but no one is talking about it because they are trying to diver attention away, I don’t want to say it here but let me honest, My girl is Ukrainian, na why I Dey go there sef, her papa Dey military they get insider information, and its confirmed there will be no war, no make your head busy with things o

The war has started now so your non-existing girl inside info is wrong?

I have been reading your rambling here and waiting to this moment

ndidibabe:
Una too dey back propaganda. There won't be any war. It's all politics and show of power at play..Russia only want the borders which they will definitely get. There won't be any retaliation except sanctions by the EU and allies.

Stop this nonsense here. What is wrong with people like you?

Happyfellow147:
Also can someone's spouse take up driving job as a dependent in the UK?
Is it more lucrative than care job or security?

Yes he can take up driving job but I don’t know if it pays more than care job, he has to get used to UK way of driving first before thinking of doing it for work to avoid painful experience with his insurance company

LJ1AL:
Help please!
Who has paid for Uk Priority Visa before?
Did the option for priority come up on the UK Visa page before you paid for your visa?

You don't have to spam the thread asking the same question without giving people time to answer your question.


This is the link for Priority service https://pos.tlscontact.com/abv_en/added-value-services.

If that doesn't work then click on menu and select Added value services propriety service is one of the added value services they provide

Chybyke1992:
Truth be told!

Tension is actually high here so basically no one wishes to go back home and moreover what are we actually going back to ,.
Are we going back to a lawless country where insecurity and poverty has eaten so deep into our lives that we are left with no option.

Just follow your instincts and do what pleases you but truth remains that we Nigerians living here are obviously scared of the unknown .

I really hope many of arguing against leaving Ukraine don’t regret this, if a full blown war set in you will pray to have an opportunity even to leave to hell.

You really need to hate yourself so much to think that staying in Ukraine right now is better than returning to Nigeria.

myhero:

Nancyama:
Thank you so much. That means I can easily call-out the airline's customer care if anything goes wrong.

This is

100%

Pierocash:
I don't book flight by myself even on local booking.

Book through agent my dear. You can be debited and your payment won't reflect on the airlines portal. You will get to checking canter on the day of travel only to discover that your data wasn't captured . It could distrupt your travel.

I do all my bookings through agents,I no like wahala

This is not true

Nancyama:
Hello Nairalanders,
I NEED YOUR HELP on how to Book International Flight ticket. I have been booking local flights successfully but now I'm going International.

Should I book the ticket on the intending flight website i.e ETHIOPIA AIRWAYS same way I book other local flights or USE AGENT?

My friend suggested I use Agent to book but I don't know if that's the best option as I want to have
a first hand experience on this.

PLEASE DON'T VIEW AND PASS SAY SOMETHING!

Booking directly from the airline website is the best option, its not different from booking local flight, when you book directly through the airline website and anything goes wrong they will sort it out straight way, if you booked through agent and anything goes wrong airline will not attend to you, you will be asked to contact the agent that sold the ticket to you.

A lot of agents are very bad at sorting out issues after collecting your money.

babajeje123:
Wow! Thank you so much for this.

One month bank statement is not the norm , print at least 3-6months bank statement that shows your earning history or savings, add the same number of payslips to support the source of your income, you also need to add your tenancy agreement(to show that the person you are inviting has a place to stay) then invitation letter that will explain why you are inviting the person.

HEAVEN4444:
Yeah a few people make it but many are struggling. watch the story of this young man. its a short video. only 40 minutes long. his big brother was abroad for like 15 years and wasnt making it and did not come home, so he promised his mother that when he goes abroad after just 1 year he will come back home and buy her car and build her mansion. the guy managed to go abroad. 10 years later the guy is still languishing abroad with no papers and no money.
