Have invested so much with the POF of 26M for more than a month. We will travel together , I just want to be sure she can apply alone without the marriage certificate. Thanks for the proper clarification. I really appreciate

Well.. at some point that marriage certificate has to be submitted, submitting now will not cause any issues with her application though I understand your concerns

Kayla2021:
Thanks Justwise,will do that but in your professional advice,do you think it might affect my application,since the school was ok with it and issued CAS?.Please also send me the email address for UKVI

I seriously doubt that that single mistake alone will affect your application unless there are other issues with your application

Kayla2021:
@justwise
Hello,
I am new to this forum. Please i did my biometrics on Friday,on my undergraduate certificate and waec,one of my names was omitted, however on my transcript,it was included and my passport has all three names , I did an affidavit ,but, the school rep(agent) that assisted me forgot to upload my affidavit for reconciliation of name. Should I be worried?

You can contact UKIV with your application ref number and full name to inform them about the mistake and see what they will say . That is all you can do at the moment

@justwise, Other experience people please assist look into my request below

Brothes and sisters.
I am soliciting for advice as an Igbo business minded man, with UK Msc student visa. Before the conclusion of my 4 yrs in UK (2ys study and 2yrs Psw), I intend to be involved in exportation business.
I have some fund I put outside for used phone, laptop,electonics and bicycles. I have my contact in Alaba market Lagos.

Kindly guide me the right part to follow ahead of time or some one I can follow to be mentored.
Thanks you.

Doing business while holding student visa is illegal, if you are caught your school will not support you and your admission is likely to be cancelled and visa curtailed .

I suggest you hold on till you get your PSW then you can go flat-out into business

naijatisumi:
Thanks for your swift response. I had a refusal in 2018 for a visit visa reasons been that the visa officer felt the money in my account won’t be available to me when I travelled. However my agent mistakenly filled Single In my application while I was married as such I don’t want to jeopardize my chances due to misrepresentation of information. Also have not been able to buy enough dolls that will accommodate the 4 of us and we received her CAS since last week. Since we have the dollar payment to cover her payment hence my decision.

Concentrate on sorting out the financial expect of the visa application, if the money is not ready now then let her apply alone and travel while you and kids join her when you are ready.

Your wife has to list you and kids in her application and also mention that you people will be applying at a later date.

There is nothing you can do now about previous visa misrepresentation but you have to come out clean and declare it.

naijatisumi:
Gurus please my wife planned applying alone first for her student visas while the dependent myself and kids planned applying after her visas is approved even when we are indicating we are all traveling together and the POF will cover for the 4 of us. My challenge is that is it a must for her to include our marriage certificate in the application as the main applicant even when we are not applying together so far the marriage certificate was not stated on her CAS..

You people are just complicating simple process, applying together since you have all the money. Marriage certificate is not necessarily important if she is applying alone but adding it shouldn’t be a problem

MiaDaniel:
Good afternoon wonderful people,

Please how soon can one apply for visa after CAS for a January/February intake 2022?

I read 6month to school resumption but I need to be sure

You can apply from next month

Abiseundun:
Hello everyone, when dropping my passport after biometrics, am I to attach old passport that is already expired?, or just my current passport?

@justwise and gurus please help me answer this question. Thank you

Only your current passport, if they required old one you will be contacted

Babababy:
I am sorry I beg to differ on this assertion, we do have people whose family can't afford to show lump sum proof but are more than willing to support the student on a monthly basis by sending monthly allowance. Does that mean they should not be allowed to dream? If the same standard was applied to most European or American student, they would not be educated at all, there would be no educational standard in the west because a large percentage of their student pay tuition with loans, African students don't have that luxury.


.

What you said above got nothing to do with my post.

What the op has is not a loan.

You just did what many Nigerians do when they want to defend crime,… play on the emotional side .

If your family can not afford large sum then get a proper loan then they can repay gradually while you studying in the UK without financial worries.

Yes Europeans will still be educated, I mean very educated because they have what is called student loan financed by the govt.

They also have scholarships which is available to everyone.

Lastly let’s stop giving excuses for fraudulent activities just to appear as a nice guy.

Nigeria is as bad as it’s today because what we do.

riogrannde:
Need advice guys!!

Did my biometrics on the 23rd of July and got a non straightforward email on the 28th
Sent numerous paid emails and called 3 times but was told a decision hasn't been made on my application.

I submitted 4 bank statements, one of which is a loaned sum, on same 28th of July (same day I got the non straightforward email), I recieved a call from the bank with the loan sum that the embassy called to confirm the account.

Fast forward to today, no decision yet, the sum expires next week and the money would be taken off my account unless I choose to extend.  
I called the bank and was informed that I wouldn't need to extend, since the embassy has called and confirmed. A few persons also mentioned same.
But I'm worried for that considering that a decision haven't been made and my visa application also. I'm frustrated waiting,  and then this.

Noticed a slight inconsistency on my application. My transcript was addressed to my agents office and not the school, although the school issued me cas with same transcript. My TB test also has the main address of my school, and not my actual study centre

Kindly advice me guys.. please ��. I'm exhausted, afraid, anxious and depressed. It's been over 3 weeks, PRIORITY SERVICE.

That is not a loan, you basically build an account just to get a visa and then return it, this is fraudulent activity visa wise.

If that money is meant for your studies in the UK then it shouldn't have an expiring date and should not be returned after or before the visa is out.

Just hope that the embassy did not dig deep into your bank details else you will be facing 10yrs ban

You are not the only person here that did this, many reading this have done it, some were lucky while others got caught.

tshoboy:
@justwise, @Lexusgs430 and all other visa gurus

We want my mother in law to visit us in the UK, say in six months time and we want to ensure we get the foundation of the application right from now.

Our main concern is proving she has ties with Nigeria.
She doesn’t work in employment, but runs several small businesses. None of which are registered. She doesn’t have a landed property in her name, that can be used as prove of home tie.

We randomly send money to her, so not a consistent monthly stipend.

We need advice on how to prove her home tie and also plan for the application. We would be the sponsor for the trip.

1.What is her age range?
2. Has she travelled before?
3. Though the business is not registered but does she have savings ?

mrczar:
Attached is my UK Visa denial

Plz I need some to analyze it.

The pet I don’t understand is that the VO is not sure I have access to my own money.

This people are really funny.

This is the wrong thread please post this in UK visiting visa thread

Justwise....... Come answer ó...... We know seun, is Seun Osewa.....

Who exactly is Justwise.........

That is a very tough question, giving you my address, bank details and phone number will be a lot easier

Owlette:
@lightest asked a question. He asked why A WOMAN WOULD not put HER SPOUSE’S name on the lease and a couple more things. I only said PERSONALLY I would not put my husband on my lease if he wasn’t financially responsible.
How you deduced from my post that I insinuated his wife kicked him out for financial irresponsibility is a mystery.
That was why I put a disclaimer there.

He personally asked his wife to add him to the bills. that doesn't sound like someone who is financially irresponsible. Actually the opposite is the case here.

He also stated that he do send money directly to his wife's account as his own contribution

stephoye:
Afternoon my people. I'm planning to apply for a 8 month masters (fast track route) in Accounting and finance at GCU. My question is will I be issued 8 months visa or 12 months visa when I get to the UK?
In addition, in my application for Graduate visa, do I need to show proof of fund for the fact that I have not stayed in the UK for up to 12 months (remember that my course is 8 months course)? Thanks

They will probably give you 10-11months visa(not 100% sure) but you are usually given at least 2months more than your course duration

Regarding the maintenance money you need to check the link in the first page of this thread and read the finance section of that link.

odafeMMM:
Does anybody have an answer to this??

Google that and please don't advertise one here as we are trying to keep info here that will benefit everyone including those looking for whatsapp group

lightest:
U make me cry bro.

I have seen first hand what toxic marriage break up can do to a man.

A very close friend went through it and it almost destroyed him if not for intervention of city council and his work HR department who supported him and gave him time to return to work.

12yrs marriage with 3kids ended and he can't put his finger to what he did exactly.

He was kicked out and was sleeping in his car while the wife got council accommodation and child benefit from his work.

fatima04:
Awwww, sounds like you are making improvement. Why not suggest Therapy so you can both have a professional help you work out your issues. And if she still can't overcome it then by all means it's fine.

Meanwhile what kind of job do you do? If its healthcare related go check the sponsorship list and start actively searching for an opportunity to sponsor your Skilled work visa. That way you can still be in the country to see your kids.

Wishing you the best as you navigate this period

In addition to that @lightest if you are considering student visa route all you need to worry about is the tuition fees, you don't need to show maintenance money as you will be applying within the UK

lightest:
I have being trying to engage her in talks, and I think most of her grievances have being the issues we have dealt with over and over in Nigeria.that I felt it has being erased in her mind was never erased. Not adultery issues o b4 bash me.

I believe communication gap has being created for a long time which I believe most part was my fault I wil say but nevertheless, there is no way u can read minds even when u tried to ask what is wrong all the times

She is a kind of woman that wil rather bottled up issues rather than say it out.

In what she has being saying so far, she said I should give her time to think.


Though I am proposing we walk more on our communication but she believes am doing that because of my visa.

I will soon conclude what to do if ADR does not work.

The worst that could happen is going back to Nigeria but the fate of our children is my fare right now.

Please note, she is a good woman that would rather bottled issue up than say it out untill it explodes

I believe a thread on living in marriage should be open so that we can all learn from the good, the bad and the ugly of marriage in UK.

What I have realised so far is that I still love my wife and my family as a whole.

Thanks to all advices

You are a good man, you haven't come here to bash your wife so as to gain sympathy despite all false accusations flying around here.

Keep working on peaceful and RESPECTFULLY resolution of this issue.

Keep your own side of your marriage vows to love her even at this difficult time.

Give her time to decide as you keep constant contact with your kids

You will definitely find peace even in separation because you have played your part.

You have my respect.

Today is my Birthday and I give God Almighty all the Glory for the Gift of Life. Thank you all on this platform for the words of encouragement. Thank my Oga @justwise you are a rare gem.

Happy birthday

jtech17:
Exactly my thoughts... abi na she be the wife of the man ni.. wey come nairaland dey follow up on a case that seems similar to hers...LOL

You can see how some people are trying so so hard to come up with made-up excuses to justify why the wife kicked him out?

They say maybe....

He is overweight and not attractive to the wife again, he is not developing himself..

She worked sooooo hard to bring her husband here.

She is doing 12hrs shift and should not be expected to come home to cook for the husband and kids

He is financially irresponsible

One asked men to explain why a nice and loving woman will suddenly changed...

Remember they are all waiting to hear the wife's side of the story ? SMH

Owlette:
I would definitely do what your wife did if I had a financially irresponsible spouse that would come and mess things up for me by not meeting up with bill payments or messing up my credit score if we were to have a joint account. Some people are very bad with money management.
Disclaimer: I am not saying you’re financially irresponsible.

Another strange post…so how did you arrive at the conclusion that his wife kicked him out because he is financially irresponsible ?

Sabiman92:
Mr Idabakanta Aka Iyimide or should i stick with your new moniker ... If truly u have gotten your visa then atleast this should stop you from deceiving people here and also stop you from trying to fraud people. Guys be careful with this Moniker.. Lastly i have proof with receipt, that this moniker is Idowu Aka Idabakanta Aka Iyimide who is now yossi4rmaguleri .


Note: The embassy does not collect any bribe for appointment of visa application.. Na people like Idabakanta Aka Iyimide Aka yossi4rmaguleri they spoil that embassy name.. If you have a work permit u can get a work visa appointment without bribing anybody just do your research well.

God bless everyone

I'm interested in this, do you mind sharing the evidence?

Thank you

Regex:
Honestly, it is so appalling. I would never marry nor advise anyone to marry a Nigerian and bring her over to the UK or any gynocentric country.

I will not discourage anyone from doing that because there is no angel anywhere, just know who you are getting married to

dupyshoo:
Do you have a problem when a matured woman with her family members come and beg a man to allow a woman back into the house even though the money to build the house came from both? This is what happens frequently in Nigeria.

I will love to hear from the wife before coming to any conclusion.

However, whether it is a matured man or matured woman, nobody should be too big to say sorry and beg if you are at wrong. There is nothing insulting about saying sorry when you have offended your spouse.

Yes!

claremont:
Guy, it isn't an insult. We don't live in Nigeria and its innate misogyny. I don't mind being called a ''beggar'', ''simp'' etc, as long as the family is happy and I'm providing for them. This thing called marriage in the UK is something we have to continuously work on towards perfection. No one is perfect. This isn't Nigeria where the man can order the woman around simply because he has the testicular fortitude to do so.

If you start to involve lawyers at the slightest whim on marriage matters in the UK, you will spend a lot on lawyers because after divorcing this one, your future partners wouldn't be perfect. You have to be ready to have lawyers on call to engage with you as a multiple divorcee.

I respect your choice to be a ''beggar'' or ''simp'' but i will not take that part in my marriage.

If she has any atom of respect for the father of her two kids kicking him out in a foreign land should be the last thing in her mind.

She did that to humiliate and belittle him and you expect him to go begging?

Once you start begging you are massaging her ego and enabling her to repeat such in the future

Lexusgs430:
On the contrary, wiping her backside, might be a romantic gesture ..........

Writing from experience?

LagosismyHome:
No marriage can work if one person has given up. It does take two willing parties to make a marriage work so I agree with you

That been said single parent no be bean ooo. That in itself is plenty work

Well …whoever wants to kick her husband out needs to consider that first.

fatima04:
Just curious if tables were turned would you want the woman to beg to keep her home or just move on. Unions with kids aren't so easy to just pack up laik that oo.

Yes if mediation did not work and right from my first post on this I stated if it’s not working out, if you tried all you can and it’s not working out THEN yes move on!!. Don’t spend the rest of your life begging a woman or man to love and respect you, if you do that then you are a weak man/woman who got no self esteem

Lexusgs430:
Infact, begging is a desperate measure .......... And would be used against the other party, when any situation, presents itself ........

What an insult! A mature married man begging the wife to allow him into their home ? All because his visa is dependent on hers? Ridiculous! Will she try that in Nigeria?

What next ? Wipe her backside so as to stay in the UK? Nonsense!

topellycategory:
Thank you for this wonderful comment unlike some people making humour out of some else issues all in the name of spicy up this thread..

Bless you.

Nobody should be encouraged to stay in marriage when you have tried and it’s not working out. For your own sake and that of the children please move on! Staying in a toxic marriage will have negative effects on the children.

Your love alone is not enough to make marriage work if one partner is not willing, and begging is just waste of time and energy.
