I need guidance on this.

Money for tuition balance +maintenance has been in the bank account for 30 Days.

If I go ahead to print the banks statement now, but part of the money is removed later. I need help with this question.

When UKVI agent is verifying the bank statement, do they also confirm if the total amount? Or just the transaction and amount as at when the bank statement is printed?

Application will be submitted within 10 days time.

Thank you for your kind response.

What you are planning to do is not new and it’s called misrepresentation which carries 10yrs ban if caught.

If the embassy contacted your bank for verification they will be asking to confirm the current account balance or you will be asked to resubmit current bank statement.

Don’t do it.

Don't declare to the school irrespective of the reason for denial but declare it when you are to apply for Visa.
Many schools will deny you admission if you ever had a refusal in any other country

What happens if he declares to the embassy and got refused? What happens to his deposit with the school?

Daragate:
Good afternoon everyone,
Please I need advice on what to do and the documents to submit. I want to do application for UK Student visa for I and my two children, as a widow what documents should I include since my late hubby is no more.
Some say his death certificate and letter of sole custody & responsibility, others are saying, no need.
@justwise, everyone please help.

Yes you will need to submit your late husband's death certificate and your kids birth certificate. I don't think that you need to submit any sole custody paper as your husband is late.

He did not accuse his lawyer of anything.

Did you actually watch the video or you did not understand what you watched?

Giftedhand47:

Yes he has and he tendered the evidence on that video.

Yes we were living together before travelling

Good evening house.

Please I would like to seek your opinion about my application for study Visa to the UK.

In your opinion, do you think paying full tuition increases one's chance of visa approval? We paid the entire £14,700 tuition at once.

My wife is the MA and we are a family of three.

Aside from the marriage certificate and family pictures that we uploaded, we also uploaded document to a land with the approved survey plan and the deed to the land. We also uploaded a 30 days statement of account.

Please, what are our odds?

Paying the tuition fees in full is an added advantage if you got every other requirements right.

Landed documents are not needed but adding it will not harm your application.

Student visa is a point based system, so if you tick all the boxes of requirements then your chances are higher.

Damdad:
Good day all , I need help . I travelled to Uk with my husband for masters in 2023 but had to travel back during my 5 months break from school and I wasn’t able to go back to school on time due to some personal circumstances, so my visa was curtailed . I have applied for another study visa now and it’s been approved. My husband want to apply as my dependant now and there is a part that says if we have lived together for the past 2 years. Should it be yes or no ? . He was in Uk during my school break at the time . It was when my visa got curtailed he travelled back to meet me . We have been living together since then till now (A year plus ). Should it be yes or no to if we have been living together for the past 2 years ?

Were you living together as husband and wife before traveling to the UK in 2023?

Goodenoch:
Do you mean PiggyVest?

If so, it’s very reliable. They’ve been around a while and are regulated by the CBN (they acquired a MicroFinance Bank) and SEC so reasonably assured.

Yes that one , thanks for your feedback.

Wanted to give them a try

Who know anything about this investment app: PiggyBank? Is the app genuine ?

liftmeGod:
Please,my people,l have been saving my money , but now if my tuition fees is 12500 pounds, and lf l pay 6000 pounds

Can l be able to work and pay the rest in uk.

The money for visa and health insurance is not the problem .

My concern is the balance of my school fees

1. How long do you have to pay the remaining balance?

2. How about the maintenance money?

@Mosun8220 pls get in touch with Mr Lekan lije everyone said. I have watched him saved many families and reunites them with their kids after taken away by social workers. You can watch some if his videos and learn some defensive skills there.
Taking your kids straight away without investigation is not how things works and i feel they are trying to target immigrants cos my sister british citizen whose son accused abuse never got her kids taken away as they investigated the matter and the child later exonerates the parents that they never did it but was just trying to paint a story.

I don’t believe this is true, social workers will not take your child straight away without any investigation, they will investigate the issue before it gets to the point of taking your kids, I’m not in any way supporting the idea of taking kids away from their parents, parents need support and time to get things right.

Social worker is not targeting immigrants, the problem here is that immigrants especially the new arrivals are more likely to get in trouble with social workers as they may not be aware of certain laws as regards the child welfare laws.

I’m not a huge fan of social workers even though I understand why they were established. I don’t believe that kids taken into social welfare end up better than staying with parents.


Parents make mistakes however I don’t think they should be punished by taking away their kids.

destinychildolu:
If he is paying 1500 every month, he who be able to balance it in 19 months of working

Are you sure about this? A student will be able to save 1500 every month to pay tuition fees balance?

Mosun8220:
They are currently in foster care and we don’t have access to them.

One of them sneaked out of the house to his friend’s place without the knowledge of my wife . It was from his friend’s place that he told them we used to beat him with TV cable which is not true. They informed the social worker and we got arrested. Then my employer was informed and I was disengaged me and my COS was cancelled.

Currently we are in court. Both parents are involved.

You have two cases here unfortunately, letter from HO asking you people to leave the country and the social work case.

Firstly email the HO and explain to them that you have an ongoing case with social workers and present evidence.

Seek legal counseling regarding social workers's case as it can take very long to settle

giselle237:
Lmao.
Instead of focusing on solutions or at least speaking neutrality/positivity, most started to defend an imaginary individual not in the picture. Almost like the bros(father) appeared on nairaland as well.
giselle237 not Giselle.

I have to agree with AKALAMAGBO', I don’t know why you went nuclear on gender about this.

How will we discuss this without bringing the father into it?

And to your point about mothers knowing what is best for the children and in a better position to make decisions for their future? If that is true then the street of London and major UK cities would be a safer place. Vast majority of knife stabbing is London and other cities are carried out by kids with no biological father in their lives and they hardly finish school

Lincoln4u:
You don’t know the level of the father involvement in her life, the child in question is 9 years old, she is able to know her right and left. I can boldly tell you she doesn’t recognize her father, that's because he doesn’t care and he has never bn involve in her life
I left Nigeria 2years ago he never went to her to visit her Knowles fully well I’m not around, so how is my move affect a relationship that wasn’t there

A little explanation like this will make a different in your visa application, what you stated here is believable and its very common.

Like i said before..traveling with kids out of Nigeria or Africa in general as a single parent is very difficult because of too many cases of child trafficking, before 2018 a DNA test will be requested by the embassy but they have stopped that now for legal reasons .

This refusal has given you areas to concentrate on when reapplying, resubmit all legal documents you submitting before and more if you have.

You stated that you submitted sole responsibility document, however the ECO did not acknowledge this in that refusal letter, you may have to mention this in your letter to the new ECO who will be handling your application.

Don't forget that you need to make some arrayments here for the child and attach the evidence with the application....things like accommodation, school, childcare and explain how you will juggle her care with your full time job.

All the very best.

advanceDNA:
That's what I was trying to tell jústwise..the ECo has deceptively created a catch 22 out of that visa application......claimed sole custody is not enough, and asked for consent letter, which is also grounds for refusal when sole custody is in place..

You are approaching this case one sided, I don’t see any deception here as ECO clearly explained why sole custody alone is not enough as requesting more information.

Lincoln4u:
I’ve seen cases where child visa was refused just because fathers letter was obtained after they submitted sole responsibility

That may be true but cases are different, a family friend got a sole custody of her kids but the husband still see the kids twice a week and the court are aware of this.

You need to explain this in your visa application form as the ECO may not be aware of certain issues regarding your separation.

You also need to consider the fact that the spotlight is on Nigerians regarding child trafficking to the UK.

advanceDNA:
I read it.....and I still.maintain the eco was desperate for a refusal because a sole custody document was already enough for the mother to fly without the father consent....this is the standard.....

So bringing up sole responsibility grammar to nullify sole custody judgement of a court that already assessed the welfare of the child is dubious

Yes standard but not always the case. she is bringing the kid to the UK where the system takes the issue of child welfare a lot more seriously

advanceDNA:
The entry clearance officer was just desperate to refuse the visa...I mean, when did they start using sole responsibility to downplay sole custody judgement ...and further claimed no court can give such judgement ...

As harsh as the refusal might sound but ECO was really digging in for the child’s welfare , the refusal is well detailed and the more you read it the more you understand more.

Lincoln4u:
I submitted sole custody/responsibilty

Sole custody or sole parental responsibility? They are not the same but related. That is the point the ECO was making in that letter.

You have three options: appeal the decision, reapply or ask for reconsideration.

You need to provide more evidence as to why the father is not involved in this. If you are still in contact with the father then get a written consent from him.

aristosoft:
Please, i sent you a message request. I have an agent who said it's the school that applies for Visa after CAS. I'm really confused cos I'm unable to access the CAS on the CAS shield.

Common now!, this is 2025 and you are confused about this? With all the info online? How can you even listen to an agent telling you such nonsense? If you can not do the visa application yourself then you are not ready to study in the UK.

Lincoln4u:
Please gurus in the house, my daughter was refused child dependant visa, im applying as a single mother. Please your advise is needed

Why did you not get letter of consent from the father of the child to support the visa application?

They can as well close their borders after deporting everyone is not white American.

Since this confused human being got into power it has been immigrants this immigrants that, ban , arrest , deport, cage , etc.. Enough!!

Woman smuggled baby into UK using fake birth story

The case, the second the BBC has followed through the Family Court in recent months, reveals what experts say is a worrying trend of babies possibly being brought to the UK unlawfully - some from so-called "baby factories" in Nigeria.

'My babies are always hidden'
The woman, who we are calling Susan, is Nigerian, but had been living in England since June 2023, with her husband and children.

A careworker with leave to remain in Britain, Susan claimed she was pregnant. But scans and blood tests showed that wasn't true. Instead, they revealed Susan had a tumour, which doctors feared could be cancerous. But she refused treatment.

Susan insisted her previous pregnancies had been invisible on scans, telling her employer, "my babies are always hidden". She also claimed she'd been pregnant for up to 30 months with her other children.

Susan had travelled to Nigeria in early June 2024, saying she wanted to have her baby there, and then contacted her local hospital in Britain, to say she had given birth.

Doctors were concerned and contacted children's services. Arriving back in the UK with the baby girl - who we're calling Eleanor - Susan was stopped and arrested by Sussex Police....

Since 2021 the UK government has restricted adoptions from Nigeria, partly because of "evidence of organised child trafficking" within the country.

I went back to read the whole article and it’s shocking. The length at which this couple went to fight for this fraud is extraordinary. All their lies falling apart but they keep pushing with more lies.


This part of the story got me:

When Eleanor is adopted she will have a new identity and British nationality - but she may never know who her real parents are

Wusedamola:
Hello everyone, pls I need a little advice. Is there any problem if you wait for a lil while (like 3 weeks) after getting the CAS from the school before the visa application.

I'm asking because I received just yesterday and today, the school wants to know if I have applied for the visa. But I think there is still time because it's for October admission

@Justwise pls I need a guru opinion

Reply to tell them when you will be putting in your application

columbus007:
Who could have killed her? Maybe her former husband.

There is no evidence to support that, she was allegedly killed by 20yrs old man called Kyler Rattray, from Dundee

heykims:
Abeg disregard that guy, he is only educated but not literate. He claimed he was discouraged from travelling years back, how come someone like me wasn't deterred from coming just 2 years ago? Simply because I read and researched deeply and knew the best and possibly the last time I could come was in September 2023 because barring dependant started in January 2024.
He was even saying before Care, people were relocating but was lazy enough not to do findings the route people explored.
The thing is people not in UK don't really understand this immigration policy and that's the essence of a forum like this to explain. Then individuals can make their decisions on what to do. It is about being informed, not being discouraged.
Life is about risk, if u feel the risk is worth it, leap on.

Why would i discourage people from coming to the UK? The person is coming to take my job? House or family? Any idea how many people i have helped to get into this country since 2009 without asking for a penny? I have never met a single one of them and have no interest in meeting them. Its extremely ignorant to think that people warning you about the danger ahead is trying to discourage you.
