Good morning
Please is it true that if one doesnt enter the UK by 27th September for September intake, the person will not be able to benefit from PSW.
Please gurus in the house, how true is this.
Thank you

justwise:
Please read this for a complete content of that section

This is where the information came from https://www.gov.uk/government/news/graduate-route-for-best-and-brightest-launches

I just abstracted this section

A coronavirus concession on the date by which students must enter the UK, if they started courses in 2020 and are unable to travel due to the pandemic, has been extended to 27 September, recognising the continuing disruption many face due to international travel restrictions.

Applicants who began their studies in autumn 2020 or in spring 2021 will need to be in the UK with permission as a student by 27 September 2021. Students beginning their course this autumn or early next year will need to be in the UK by 6 April 2022.

I am thinking of going to u.k with airmaroc with a lay over for just 2 hours in morocco , due to high flight price of virgin Atlantic and British airways.
Has anyone gone with airmaroc lately and how safe I am?

My own surname is Bakare and my middle name is Olanrewaju but my wife chose to adopt Olanrewaju as her surname instead of Bakare but on the marriage certificate her name is Bakare Fatimah Anike while her passport carry Olanrewaju Fatimah Anike.

Thank you sir for guidance.

I need help FAM. Someone said I shouldn't fill my husband as a dependant but that I should only fill him as my spouse and my kids as dependants. Note that we are all travelling together

Babababy:
if this is in regards the ukvi application form where the question 'Does anyone rely on you for financial support? Include both those travelling with you and those who are not'', is asked? then that person is correct. There has been some ambiguity in this regard. If we relate with the general visit visa application, the same question is asked and it has nothing to do with the general dependant application, its a reality question about your current state.Your spouse is your spouse and people dependant on you are those your Carter for,its not about your dependants applying with you.

shegzy80:
@justwise @othergurus; I did priority for myself(student) and standard for my two dependants (Husband & Daughter) on 27th. I have received collection mail but my dependant tracking shows that it is still at DMC. For those who have collected both priority & Standard on the same day, did you all receive collection mail for the standard application as well, or you just suddenly found out that the three passports are available for pickup when you arrived at VAC to pick up your own (Priority)?
Please I need your response all

Those who have received the family of 4/5/3 should answer me, please. I beg !!!

mercauly:

My spouse studied in the UK previously. Returned in 2013 and she has national insurance number.

The visa application form is asking for it but since she left 8 years ago, do I still need to add it?

Thank you for your response

@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

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

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.

tushqueen:
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?

duolu2021:
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.

Good evening good people,

I intend on using the Abuja office.
3. Are there extra formal or informal� cost for doing d manual booking.
@all @justwise

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.

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.

@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.

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

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..?

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.
