Greetings to all, thanks for the good job guys are doing on this platform and all the valuable information, may GOD bless you all.
I have 2 question please:
1. I am already studying in the UK and my spouse has been around for a few months. I want to make application for my children but don't have enough money in my naira account, is it acceptable to put funds in my spouse's UK account as part of the proof of fund?.

2. I have someone who already wants to apply for UK study visa from Nigeria and have his money in a joint account bearing his name and that of his wife. The wife's name will be mentioned in his application but they are not applying at same time. The plan is for him to go first and the wife apply after a few months. Is it advisable to use such an account or not, they have keep this account funded for over 1 month.
I look forward to your response. Thanks!

Good morning, please when applying for CAS are we to inform the school we are bringing dependants?

Sorry lexus i have some questions:

What property inspection report will the applicant for spouse visa be made to conduct?

Also no landlord will grant permission for subletting? Landlords do not hold back consent you know expect they sense a danger/activity that could impact the property or its dwellers negatively.
For example I remember when i used to rent from ahency. Before taking on a property i declared my intentions to sublet the second room and the agency accepted my request and clearly stated it should be subletted to just one person as there is a maximum number of dwellers for a property.

With all these shared please Can you share a link where the uk law terms subletting as illegal? I am really curious.

Also if the applicant stays in a massive shared house, then it will be a big guess that the landlord has a HMO license.

At the time when I applied for my spouse visa, my hubby nd i werent even renting yet. We were staying with family. Neither of our names were on the agreement, but we submitted the tenancy agreement like that from the actual tenants. We wrote a letter truthfully explaining our living condition and how we were expecting to move to a place of ours as soon as we settle as newly wedded. We also got a letter from the landlord confirming his awareness about our presence in the property.

Lexus i dont know if any of these things i said does make a difference My whole point is i don’t think the applicant is in a difficult or complicated position really But hey as you rightly said the cost for a spouse visa is very high as such application should be done meticulously. The applicant can decide to take up your suggestions to be on the safest side. Also dear applicant it wouldn’t be a very bad idea to voice out your concerns to a lawyer who does free consultation (i hope the applicant reads this)

I checked earlier it was only my post deleted, but I see now that you went for everyone involved . Thanks . I'm gone .

@ justwise the biased moderator deleted my response to you and all posts but left the others like Blurpy . This proves that I hit deep and yall cant take the truth. As long as you're selective in who to discipline ,this will continue .

Irenenwaka:
Justwise the flaw with this plan is that there is no assurance he would be out of the hotel in 3 days. He might arrive the uk and be told the property is gone. The might the property is not available for immediate move. Also have you factored the isolation time as well, he wouldn’t be able to attend viewings immediately he arrives.

I have had people in the past go through this route and honestly its not the best because most people end up getting anyhow property in a rush because the hotel bills keeps rising.

Hello Guys

Good morning

(My First post here)

I would be coming next month to begin my masters program and I have a few questions I would like you all to help me with.

1. My school is in Wales (USW) and I know virtually no one there, is there some sort of forum where I can meet people there?

2. Accomodation-wise, is it advisable for me to pay for my accomodation(private, not school) while still here in Nigeria or should I instead arrive in the UK first, lodge and take time to go round and get one suitable?

3. Asides being a construction engineer, I have a personal side business I do, I'm an artist...I make portrait and realistic drawings based on orders for people who want to surprise people and people who want it shaa. Would I be able to carry this on successfully in the UK without facing any danger?
as I've heard that students are not entitled to have a private business while on a study visa.


Thanks as you all respond, I hope to get a feedback from you all.

brine:
Congrats on securing your visa! Just like you, many of us came here without knowing anyone and have had to build up our contacts over time.

I know Cardiff Uni where I graduated from has several groups on Facebook like Cardiff Uni Overhead. Search for similar groups for your Uni.

I wouldn't advise you to pay for accommodation before coming down here. I'm in Cardiff where USW main campus is located. I know for a fact that most letting agents are not very transparent and the pictures online might slightly differ from the reality on ground. Also, you should be aware that some letting agents are a pain in the ass to deal with.

Danger in terms of exceeding your 20hours limit? I don't know how that's possible because, from my point of view, only you can decide or report how long it took you to make a painting. If you report your earnings as self-employed, be sure not to exceed over 20hours/weekly.

All the best

Good evening house. I have just been offered a place in an international school in Istanbul as an Instructor. But there had been delays with the
whole process. The school emailed me that my contract was ready for signing by 3 PM in the school in Istanbul today. I had to inform them that it will be impossible. Now the HR has promised to ask their lawyer to send a digital copy of the contract to me for signing by tomorrow; though unsure of the implications of this.

But what worries me is that I have to be in the school for orientation and commencement by 7th September, 2020. They promised to help in converting my residence permit to a work visa but will not assist in getting the residence permit. Please how do I cope to meet up with this timeline. I don't want to miss this opportunity after going through the long recruitment process. Please advise me on fasted route to get my travel documents.

Pls my fellow nairalanders, help a brother, I have been planning on how to migrate to Canada for my bachelor's degree on criminology...but I'm quite confused and lost because I don't have anyone over there, or have an idea of the total cost of it. I mean the minimum amount that I'm expected to have before making such move... Thanks for your time, pls your contributions and advice is needed.

prissyllar:
If someone had a UK visit refusal in 2013 and the passport was collected without a refusal letter, neither was a mail sent back then
It was the time Nigeria still used VFS (now TLS)
How can one find out reason for refusal pls
Already sent a mail requesting for immigration history and they requested for some information which was provided said they’ll get back within a month
It’s already a month now
And it’s getting close to when I’ll need to apply for my visa
@justwise and co pls help
And I know they’ll need you to atleast state reason for refusal

Justice2700:
Good day @justwise and other gurus in the house, Biko I hope I get a response.
My husband and I have had previous visa denials, which we declared and on my part as the main applicant (my husband is the dependant) the reason for my denial to the US (student visa) and schegen zone(tourist) was lack of documentation to show ties to my country. So for this Uk student visa I have decided to add documentation eg landed properties and family pictures to show ties to home. I just want to be sure it’s the right thing to do and won’t cause me more harm in my application. Please anyone that understands the situation can respond to me. Thank you

Quick question.

Good day all,

Please whats your experience with booking flights with a travel agent versus booking directly through the airline? As per cost, ease of changing flight dates, general help and support etc.

I want to go through a travel agent but mu husband is trying to book directly through the airline company.

Thanks

*VISA ALERT*

I suppose to have dropped my visa testimony by my phone was faulty.
God finally did it for me after the whole struggle and worry, I got my study visa last month June to the glory of God.
@justwise and every other gurus helping out in this group, I say thank you and God bless you richly.

Hello all,
I know I am allowed to work more than 20hrs during term break.. pls I'd like to know if this work-time rule also applies within my 1month entry(after quarantine of course) into the UK but prior to my resumption in September. I have a family friend that owns a restaurant and she is willing to let me work for her. But I want to be careful I am not doing anything wrong .

Nozino:
Dear Sir, can we be civil? Like I said, I don’t encourage traveling on a tourist visa. I won’t try it but that’s the only option available to some persons. I would rather educate them about the disadvantages and not crush their dreams without suggesting an alternative. The ultimate decision rests on the said person(s).

Nozino:
Irrespective of what justwise says, a student visa is not an immigrant visa. Even Canada that has a sure pathway for students to secure PR always want students to prove that they will return to their country after studies.

If you can travel on a tourist visa and be able to regularise your stay and you’ve considered everything and still want to go ahead, please do.

Don’t let someone who travelled on a non immigrant visa and found away to regularise his stay discourage you. We all know people like our oga, people who went from Bsc to MSc, to Msc again to PhD all so they could claim to have been in the UK for 10years continuously and get ILR. All because they don’t want to return home. Go to Germany, they’ve started the nonsense of not graduating or graduating and starting the same program cycle all because they don’t want to leave Germany but this same people will come on nairaland to discourage those of us struggling to migrate.

I won’t encourage using Tourist visas to migrate though, the wahala isn’t worth it. But I understand that for some of us from humble backgrounds, that is the only viable option we have.

Good Morning @justwise and other gurus in the house

Hubby and I plan to go first, then come back for the kids much later when we are settled.

Hope this won't cause any issue later on or raise questions as to why we didn't leave with the kids initially?

Thank you.

P.S I am the main applicant
