Bosss abeg help me on my visa application. I have successfully filled my wife’s application but when it get to where i will make my own IHS surcharge it keeps telling me to enter the person i am joining or remaning with visa expiry date. I have been on this application since afternoon. All the gurus in the house please help me @justwise

Enter the course end-date as it appears on the CAS

@justwise
The statement they are requesting for its not the one I submitted for this study visa, they requested for a statement I used to apply in 2020 for a visit visa which I was granted

I get that now but since you have sent what they requested for you need to relax and wait for their feedback

They are obviously doing some digging into your application

Good morning people
You guys are truly amazing... I have been a silent follower for a while now and I have learnt a lot.. So my BP is almost sky rocketing at the moment lol
I did my biometrics on Tues and I got a not straight forward on Thursday (priority) this morning I got a mail from the Pretoria team that I should send a stamped and signed statement that they need to verify, attached with the mail was a statement, however the statement attached was for another bank that I had used for a visa application last year to UK and I was granted, and I quickly responded pointing out the error and also attached the new bank statement, behold my peolple, they said the know its for my previous application but they need a stamped and signed one, I sent it to them but I have not heard anything since, am so worried...
Has this happened to anyone before

This is not new but they rarely do this as far as i can remember, this is usually done so as to know if the money is still there or not

Thank you Justwise. Pls I’m not sure I know UKVI postal Address. Could you help with the address.

It’s actually for both my wife and son. That means I should use 2 different envelopes.

Google UKVI postal Address and send those documents with royal mail Signed For envelop so as to know who received it.

Under the address you need to state the type of visa application and inside the package you need to add a paper that contains your wife and kid profile like i said before. So that whoever opens that package will know the department it belongs to else that package will be misplaced.

You can also pay £5 or so for email correspondent with them so as to follow it up, you can email them as many time as possible without paying additional fees until the visa is out.

Hello,

I have a question, please can someone who is on a visitors's visa apply for jobs and attend interviews? He is a healthcare professional who has license to practice in the UK but finding it difficult to get interviews in Nigeria. He thinks having a UK phone no and address will help boost his chances of getting a job that can issue him CoS.

Will this work? Can he attend interviews with a visitor's visa?

No, that is the wrong visa to start with, trying to go around the system to get an interview will backfire at the long run.

Hello Guys, @Justwise, Please I need some guidance

For the below Question?

Have you been to any other countries in the past 10 years?

So I travelled to Ghana quite frequently for Work/ Business between March 2010 and May 2012.

I have a record of all my entry and exits into Ghana which amounts to about 11 Trips in total.

Am I required to enter every one of these Trips?

Please note that for a UK Visit Visa granted me in 2017, I excluded entirely these trips to Ghana.

I have a recent Trip to Ghana on my current passport, I think 2019 so I am worried that it might be an issue if I exclude all the other past trips to Ghana.

Please note that I am the Dependant, My Wife is the primary applicant for a Student Visa.

Thanks.

Yes state any travel outside Nigeria though it may not account in true sense of travel history but still declare it

Good evening everyone, pls I need your advice, because i could not get biometrics date for my wife and kid, I chose the assisted service. my wife did her biometrics today and the tls people refuse to upload all the scanned supporting documents in her email. the hard copy with her was just 3 which is insufficient. pls how do we send those other documents to UKVI. pls help I am in the UK already. even my BRB was not uploaded.

Get the documents from your wife and post it to UKVI, write her application reference number on the envelop, her full name and visa type

Good evening good people,
I am planning on doing manual Tb test booking by next week Monday and hopeful get the test done before the week runs out. I have some questions though
1. Do I make the payment and go there with the print out or make the transfer there on the day of manual booking.
2. How realistic is my goal of having manual booking and actual testing done for next week.
I intend on using the Abuja office.
3. Are there extra formal or informal� cost for doing d manual booking.
@all @justwise

Yes make the payment and take the receipt and your result should be out the same day

Good evening all!
@justwise and other Gurus here pls help a brother.

I have started my 28 days count for visa application. After 4days of the count i realised that the account had been on PND and I quickly asked them to remove it(PND).

Today is the 11th day of my count, pls should I deduct the 4days of being on PND from the 11 days or I should continue counting?

@All Gurus here, I hope this won't lead to visa refusal? Pls advise a brother.

Thanks as I expect your kind response on this.

Since you removed it then you should be ok

Good day @Justwise and other gurus in the house

We are a family of 4 and wifey is the student and POF is in her account,We intend that she will apply for visa first and once her visa is out then myself and the kids can apply and intend using her account that has the whole fund as our POF when applying the reason for that is someone told us UK look at family ties and might reject visa if they see that we are all applying together at once,below are my questions:

1. Can we use the same statement of account that she used in getting her visa for our application(Hubby and kids) or the fund must be moved into my own account to count another 28 days before it can be used to apply?

2. Is there is risk for apply together at same time as a family and is it better to just apply together?

3.Does UK look out for anything like family ties when granting Visa?

Will really appreciate everyone's response on my inquiry.

That is not true, since you have enough money for the whole family go ahead and apply together.

The money can be in her account or yours it doesn't matter.

@justwise, it's a new bank, Headquarted at Marina, most of the branches are located here in Lagos, I personally visited the Allen Avenue branch. Where other banks are complaining of forex, they're are pretty fast with their operations. For payments through Form A, one just needs to come with the requisite documents, open an acct, fund it and they process it super fast. However, for PTA, one needs to have at least 3mths relationship with them. I suggest those who're experiencing difficulties with their payments and can get to Lagos, should avail themselves this opportunity.

Thanks for the info , never come across the name before,

obaxlove:
Use Titan Bank. Send DM for more information.
The branch is in Allen Avenue Lagos.

Stop this here

@All

Who know about this bank: Titan Trust Bank?

Garnyangel:
@justwise Please under my self-upload documents, employment evidence was part of the documents I should upload. I am not employed but volunteering in a company as an intern. What should I put as employment evidence? Or should I ignore it. What should I do? Thanks for your assistance

Your employment document is not needed, only upload documents listed in your CAS

Goodday House �. My UK Visa application was denied today. I base my travelling expenses calculations with my son traveling along with me..'it's painful'

Can I re_apply the Application. Submission date for my son is tomorrow. Any hope or I should not bother to disturb myself for submission..?

Consider this advise

giselle237:
cancel your son’s application. His visa can not be granted if yours has been denied.
Do the cancellation now.
As for the refusal, your calculation was too much. 17 times your disposable income is a lot to spend in one time for a 2 week holiday.
Sorry about this experience.

Sorry for late reply

Sijuademi:
Good afternoon everyone

Pls my friend has submitted his visa application since 4 June and did his interview on 29 of june and he has heard anything since then.

What could have happened pls @justwise

Has anyone experienced this.

You need to contact them

Lizzyboss83:
Great Minds here, I have been following this trend as a guest for some days now. I got an unconditional offer at Ulster university, made 50% payment, sent my TB cert but at the point of issuing my CAS, i was asked to send copies of my UK and US refusal letters, I have for US but my UK had been thrashed since i never knew it would be requested for at anypoint in my life.

I sent that of US but I was told to present that of UK even though I told them during CAS interview that I thrashed it long ago. Now I got a mail that CAS will not be issued without that.

Please I need assistance on how to get out of this quagmire. I need help right now. @justwise, Lagosismyhome and other great minds please help

if you still have time you can use this link to request for your immigration history https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/requests-for-personal-data-uk-visas-and-immigration/request-personal-information-held-by-uk-visas-and-immigration#how-to-make-a-request

Else try another school.

tsowems:
Hello Justwise please my
Nigerian address on TB certificate reads streer instead of street. I hope this is not an issue. Thanks.
I’ve been able to book Aug 11for my biometric

That shouldn't be a prob

Urgent Guidance required, @justwise & Others

Whilst filling my Childs Dependant visa application, I added another 0 (zero) in front
of her passport number in error. Am I to cancel the application, request a refund and
submit a fresh one, kindly note that I didn't notice until I had paid the VISA and IHS fee and gotten
to the TLS summary page.

You don't have to cancel, you can make a note and attach it to the application form, make sure that they scan it into the system when you go for biometric appointment and you can also draw a single line on it and write the correct passport number at the top

corpershun:
@Justwise please help

Always go for a course you have passion for and get the best result at the end.

Check the university ranking to help your decision making process

Kacek:
@justwise if someone's chest x-ray dosent come out good is there a way to fast track the 8weeks wait period as the person is choked on time. Someone here mentioned doing a mantoux test and submitting visa application with it while waiting for the 8weeks. Any suggestions please

I'm not sure if that is possible

Bourne007:
What if pregnancy was during school, what if one gets hit by a bus nko? You making it sound like re-sit is terrible and CAS cannot be issued.

Still not covid related, its your personal decision to get pregnant at that time. If you got hit by bus that is called an accident and its a completely different case.

Kacek:
@justwise thank you for this Swift response. Please why did you say [b]priority service [/b]is now a waste of money?

Your application is treated like standard one in most cases even as you paid more. Those who paid for standard get it faster in some cases.

Bourne007:
You are right but this exactly proves my point. UKVI exempted because there's a global pandemic where students are impacted financially, mentally, medically, psychological you name it. What then happens to for instance giving birth during school. Are you saying they will discriminate against her when the uni knows quite well they can extend her visa using the re-sit option and can prove academic progression? And don't forget that the bolded was implemented because of those who purposely fail their module. You and I know quite well that if it can be proven beyond doubt that it's not the case, UKVI wouldn't have issues extending.

I don't know anyone who's re-sat. I am certain some students have gone through the re-sitting process with no impact but you cannot say they will not issue CAS. Plus as it stands, this temp rule overwrites the current rule as the impact of covid on individual cases are different.

Let's just hope no one repeats or have to re-sit a module

You are miss-applying that rule, if you came to the UK pregnant and during your studies you gave birth and as a result you failed one or two modules or unable to finish your course then that got nothing to do with covid, if you tested positive or school activities got affected because of covid then the rule applies.

Giving birth is not part of your academic program and it got nothing to do with the school

Babygal1990:
@justwise I got a call from British high commission to return my passport back to vac for correction on Wednesday and I haven’t gotten a mail for pick up yet, can I call them?

Yes..its a week long now,

Tolvin:
Thank you very much.
I merged my student loan letter and my bank statement as a single document under the financial evidence section. Is that okay?

That is not a prob.

Tolvin:
Good morning All,
Is it compulsory to upload CAS statement after uploading all the mandatory documents?

justwise and others please

No, all you need to enter is the CAS number where provided.

Kacek:
Please for a family of 3 to collect their visa on the same day and only the main applicant is paying for priority service,how does it work?
Does it matter if they applied a week apart but do biometrics the same day? Will they collect the same day?

If priority service works the way it should then the main applicant will collect first before the rest of the family but from what i have seen here priority service is becoming a waste of money.
