Hello everyone.

Please I need your help on an issue here.

Background Story.

BRP expires 11th November, 2021. But due to an extension request for project submission, project submission was extended to sometime in December.

Now the challenge is, Coventry Uni has changed student status to part-time from fulltime and we do not know what to do about not overstaying.

Because as it stands now, we cannot apply for the PSW as course is yet to be completed and yet do not know what steps to take to ensure that we continue to remain in the country legally.

We have sent several mails and visited the school but no sensible solution have been proffered. Everyone keeps acting like this is a novel case.

So please my people, has anyone experienced this or know someone who had and what was the workable solution. What does someone do when the visa expires but course is yet to be completed?

Abeg I would need all the input I can get.

Thanks in advance.

Justwise, lagosismyhome, Aprokodaugther and all the other seniors please your inputs are welcome.
How did it get to the point of requesting for an extension?

Good evening Gurus in the house pls for a student that is currently studying (outside London) but lives in London, my question is if my wife wants to apply for his dependent visa she will put my address in London as where she will be living hope this is not going to affect her chance of getting the visa but the pof in her account is sufficient for London maintenance and outside London.
Note: my pof is still intact if the embassy want me to print it out the fund has not been tampered and she has sufficient funds in her account as well.
Maintenance money calculation is about cost of living in a particular city, so since you live in London then expect them to use London rate and not where your school is located

Hello all please how do I go about the renewal of my Nigerian passport here in the UK.
Please
Apply online and print out all required documents, if you need your passport before early-mid next year then pay for fast track, basically you buy £120 worth of postal order plus application fees. I was there a week a go or so, went there without waiting for appointment and spoke to embassy staff who told me point blank that if i need that passport anytime soon that i should pay for fast track and i did that and got the passport few days later.

Prepare yourself for a long day there, the two halls were full and over flowing.

Hello @justwise and anyone who has been in my situation.

I am in the UK already as a Tier4 student.
I have paid 50% of my tuition and fully enrolled.
My dependents are ready to join me but I am confused if I need to show the balance of my school fees in addition to my dependent's maintenance fee or just their Maintenance fee will suffice in the 28days statement.
N.B: The funds will be in my Spouse's account.

Apart from my BRP, Enrollment letter , consent letter, Marriage and birth certificate .

Is there any other documents I should include?.



Help pls.
Do you have the remaining 50%?

Pls is this normal... does it usually take very long to get BRP? Pls could there be a explanation for this? Or was he meant to apply for BRP since he entered UK for studies?

I think the issue is money going from the account to the dependent account and not adding up. If money was directed to another account would have been better.


It would not. It would send the same suspension signal to ECO.if the money in that account was enough for the main applicant and dependant then there is no need to move money around.

Good evening @Justwise and all the gurus here.
Please read my write up and kindly advise me on the next step to take. This is my story:

Submitted visa application: August 1.
Biometrics: August 23- Standard.
After 30 working days, when I didn’t hear any news, I sent a paid message and I got a reply that a decision had been made.
After 35 working days, sent another paid message, I was told that they’ve escalated my case and that I should wait for 15 working day’s from the date of my escalation to get a response.
Then 3 weeks ago, I got a BRP mail. Since then, nothing.
When it was 50 working days, I sent another mail, they said they have now re- escalated the issue and to wait for a response. 2 days later, I got a decision mail that visa has been approved. What baffles me is that the decision letter was dated August.
Since last week that the decision was letter sent to my mail, I’ve been tracking and still at DMC. Please how else can I escalate this matter? I paid for courier and passport has been delivered yet.
Anyone that has been in my shoe before to kindly advise me as I don’t know what else to do. Thank you.
Sadly this is becoming common and there is no other solution other than calling and emailing them till it comes out

Gurus please make una help respond to the issue raised below, ejor.


Hello,

Please I need advise for a friend
Main Applicant got his visa in August and has since traveled to the UK. Then he submitted a bank statement from 2nd July to 29th July. The fund used is for him.

Now the dependent applied for visa using her own bank statement from 21 sept to 20 October 2021.

She got a non straight forward email to provide the main applicant statement from 29th July to 21 September 2021. What should she do? Cos the main applicant transferred 5m to his daughters account and used other funds to buy PTA and pound then others to shop for laptop ,foodstuffs and buy ticket. There was nothing left in the account before he left

Please note the the dependent has an excess of 4m in her POF

Gurus in the house please advise
The question here is..does the main applicant have enough money for himself and the dependant? Tuition fees and maintenance money for both?

Hello house , been a silent reader on this thread for a while, much blessings to every contributor in this thread.
My niece was born in the Isle of Man some years back around 2019 (can't remember the month), after which they all came back to Nigeria and just recently my brother got a job to relocate to Newcastle . While filling her dependant visa application some days ago, a question was asked if the baby girl " has been to UK and what time frame "?

My uncle says - " let's put the date she went to the Nigerian embassy in London to get her passport "

My response ----" let's put her birthday date "

We are actually confused cos the Isle of man is listed as a country in the visa application website and even her birth certificate.

I would appreciate an opinion on what to put on the question " has she been to the UK and what time frame "
Your uncle is right

Yes she is a full time student and has a letter from the university as well. She's going back in January for school
Apart from the letter from her university she also need to add her progress report (last result) , she can add her course table for next semester if that is available and the letter from the university should contain some key information.. eg her course duration .

As you will be sponsoring her she has little or no ties to Nigeria apart from her schooling which is why she needs to add as much information as possible to convince the ECO that will be coming back if issued a visa

Hi guys,

Is it possible I get questioned or disturbed on arrival in the UK about my wife’s pregnancy status. She will be due in a week from the time we intend to travel Is it possible they ask for the POF of the unborn baby at the airport or is it possible they ask for the POF after the delivery we would be few days after entering the UK?

Please help with a response
Why would you want to put yourself and your wife through this?

Even if the airline allows her to travel how are you going to handle child birth just a week into the Uk? You have suitable accommodation ready?, registered with GP? Hospital?

I can't Agree less with you owing to your years of experience. In some pages back I read where you advise a guy going for a 15K Pounds Course to forget it he can't make it up otherwise a less Amount will be great.


My question is For a 15k Pounds Course will I be fine sourcing 50% of my Tuition fee back home?
The question is… do you have £15k to genuinely present for visa application?

Hello Gurus in the House, please i have a very important question to ask

My story goes like this, i have an old passport which i used to travel out before and had 2 Turkey visa denials and
1 Canada refusal as well on it. Now i did change of [/b]DOB on my new passport and i told the immigration to delete the whole information on my old passport because the new passport have new DOB so that it wont be conflicting.

Now i want to know if my visa application should be completed without any travel history or refusals [b]because my old passport is no longer in the system
or should i include those details when i know that i have a fresh passport

Note> i have never applied or been refused a UK visa before
You really wish that is true, if the corrupt immigration officer deletes it then how about those embassies you applied to with that old passport? You will ask them too to delete it?

Do you have something to hide?

@justwise @lexusgs430

I see people using business accounts to receive their wages. Is this against the law? I am not too sure if they have businesses running but they have their biz registration done.

I started a small business recently and I want to inform my employer to pay my wages into the account. Someone told me Both taxes from my wages and profit can be paid at the end of the tax year. Is this correct?
I'm not sure about this, but your wages are taxed already so i don't see why you want it double taxed by paying it into your business account.

Maybe there is a business tax loophole to this

I'm searching for the clause in the tier 2 visa guidance that said something like, you cannot already be employed by the organization sponsoring the visa.
I've seen it sometime in the past, but can't find it anymore. Not sure if that has been removed in the latest updates to the guidance.

Good Day Everyone here…. I’ve learnt so much from the uk tier 4 visa application, But I need an answer to some of my questions
1. I plan to apply for study visa for sept intake with my daughter only

2. My husband has been in the uk for 3 years (illegal immigrate) infact moved to Ireland presently

3. When my husband applied for he’s visa then, he stated my name & child’s name on he’s application

Please will this affect my application? If yes … please what’s the best solution

@justwise & others please help
Sorry for late reply.

His illegal status will likely affect your application because it will be difficult for them to believe that you are not going to abuse the visa rules if granted a visa. There is no shortcut to this, if you want to apply then you have to honest about everything and wait for the result
