As long as the money in that account meets the financial requirement for dependant visa then no prob. but it shouldn't be the same money you used to meet your own Tier4 financial requirement

Prisscindy:
But you just told me that there's no problem if the husband sponsors his wife's visa with the money in his account. You didn't indicate that the balance of the tuition must have been paid.

Or let me try and put it in a clearer picture. The man had N8m during his application that covered his balance and maintenance fee. Now he has N5m for his wife, he hasn't paid his balance but has money in the UK. Can the wife use the account?

Like i said above ,it shouldn't be the same money he used to meet his own financial requirement, you can not recycle that money.

If the 5M plus the money he has in the UK is enough to cover your maintenance money and his own money then good, you are good to go.

what about going for master with it... Is it possible

Only if you find a school that will accept HND for Msc, a friend was able to do that many years ago but i'm not sure if its possible now

Abimercy1:
Good day everyone.
My husband is in the UK presently on a tier 4 visa and I am planning to join him soon. I'm aware I can use his bank account as a proof of funds and the money has been there for some days now. Now, the problem is that I am being told I can't use his bank account because he hasn't paid his tuition in full. If at all I'll use then it has to have his tuition balance in there in addition to required amount for my maintenance in UK.
Please is this true?

Yes.

Prisscindy:
Hi,

Please can someone who has gotten his visa and already in the UK (arrived a couple of weeks) sponsor his dependant's visa with the money in his own account? Does he necessarily have to add more money to his acc or transfer the money into his wife's account?

As long as the money in that account meets the financial requirement for dependant visa then no prob. but it shouldn't be the same money you used to meet your own Tier4 financial requirement

ninirizzle:
Thank you

Spouse visa is better for you and you will still study without paying international tuition fees. You can study part time and work full time.

ninirizzle:
Urgent please
Someone wants to apply for a student visa but the spouse is based in the UK. Please will this matter?
Will it be questioned that why isnt the spouse filing spouse visa rather than study visa?
Thank you for the responses in advance.
@justwise

I don't think this should be an issue but i think applying for spouse visa is a lot cheaper

iamadonis2:
This is an old thread, yes, but I needed to tell you something. You’re highly pessimistic!

Way over the top pessimistic. Granted, it’s very good to ask questions. But your questions come from already set negative assumptions. I noticed your not-so-subtle attacks on a gentle senior citizen with a similar thread.

And it’s sad people have to read your comments because you’re a Mod. Better still, if you must comment, be unassuming or counter arguments about travel with valid facts.

By the way, what country are you currently based in?

So you happened to be one of the sad ones to read my post of 3yrs? You did not dispute anything i said on the post you quoted but you only worried about how i said it?

Dispute my post with facts and not poor attempt to insult me.

DuBLINGreenb:
It's not exactly modern day slavery, this way is Farrrrrr better than Libya way. That one is the one with modern day slavery potentials. This one he will be there but without papers and then if the country is strict with their migrant policy he may have to use someone else's identity to work.
He will stay there and can work but the work will not be all this better big bug work.
Except somehow god helps him he finds his feet either through marriage or some other means.

This way is not very advisable but it's not the same as those slavery stuff

Definitely slavery and very dangerous , the moment his visiting visa expires he is toast, those pple the agent is linking him up with can pretty much turn him to their slave. Over worked and under paid (if he is lucky they help him find illegal job), his freedom will be restricted, everything he does from the time his visa expires is illegal. Coming back to Nigeria will be almost impossible unless he is able to save from pennies they will pay him so as to afford a ticket.
How long will he live under such condition to make it in life?

Adebamipe:
Good day my fellow NLs, I want you guys to please help me out, some said he's gonna help me with a Visa to South Korea, but it will be on a conference, he said I wont be attending the conference, but on getting there, I will meet with some of his colleague that will assist me with job and every other things that I will need over there, he's demanding for 750k, but I will have to pay 90k upfront.. please has anyone heard of this or experience such before... please help...

You are preparing yourself for modern day slavery journey. If you love yourself look for legitimate thing to do with that money.

Dramadiddy:
What type of visa do I apply for if I wanna migrate to the US with my spouse, note we’re both here in nigeria cc Justwise

Study route is a better options

Siberry:
Hey guys. Please can the sponsor use an electronic bank statement printed from her bank's app.?

I'm in Nigeria right now, so can't go to my bank in the UK for a signed statement, and I want to apply for my husband while I'm here in Nigeria.

Please how much is spousal priority visa?

I don't know the bank you use but you can printout standard bank statement through the app or use laptop to download one

Mamatukwas:
Thank you Justwise. The problem is that I don’t know whether this part of Scotland is considered ‘good’. Before you buy and then to sell or rent becomes a problem. That’s the fear.

I totally understand that, use google to search for info about the post code or area, something like..house price in this post code or good area to live in Scotland.. you will have loads of info though many of them will be a year or two out of date.

Mamatukwas:
Good morning Dear Men and Brethren especially the Ancients on the thread:

How many years would you reckon is long enough in one location to make buying a house there sensible. I.e if you know you will spend 4 years in 1 place then move, would you buy a house for the 4 years or rent till you get to your ‘final bus stop’.

Advice me please. Thank you.

I will definitely buy even if i'm spending 3yrs in that place especially good location, you can always sale or rent it out then move.

If you get a good mortgage deal then go for it.

prettyaska:
Please i want to fill a dependant form for my husband and son. Unfortunately, my school agent is charging them 100k. How can i do this?. I have gone throught the thread, but i am very much confused I NEED ASSISTANCE.

You don’t need any agent for this , you can complete the form easily, if you are confused about anything save the form and ask question here . Absolutely nothing difficult as long as you are ready to read around.

Oggg and moreb2cum

Sorry i have to remove the post you quoted.

Oggg:
k u are not getting what cyberknight said... there is no remita payment for pcc in nigeria. If u go by yourself to fcid ikoyi u pay 6k or so.. abuja u pay 10k... cyberknight is saying he/she went by theirself to fcid office and still paid 6k and second time 7500 for same thing bcus there is no online paymnt.
U pay to the govt office.
Except u are telling us you are encouraging payment of over 110 pounds for same document, only that Nigerian govt extorts you higher bcus u are from abroad... and they feel u can afford it.
Pls as long as Nigerians in Nigeria can get it cheaper.. 5k to 7k as against 110 pounds for people in the abroad, if it were me I will go with the Nigerian option until the Nigerian government provides a centralized payment system for this in Nigeria.

Something that is 3500 naira, why is the Nigerian government ensuring that the citizens abroad pay over 110 pounds.. with today’s exchange rate that is 74k... is something not wrong with this same Nigerian govt?

That is not what i'm saying and i will not pay that.

Years ago when i wanted to do CRB i went to police station here and pay £20(i think its free now) and get my fingerprint done then send it to my brother in Nigeria, he went to police station to complete the process and send back to me.

If you know any officer and want to deal with him then go ahead but to be advertising his number here is what I'm against.

TheGuyFromHR:
I also think you didn't quite understand all Cyberknight extensively explained.
His point is that the [b]only process for obtaining a PCC in Nigeria is informally official, you can put it that way, as a variable amount of money must pass through a police officer in the records department in cash to secure the document.[/b]

I've also done the PCC for myself and on behalf of someone abroad, and that was exactly the process.
If I need another I definitely won't pay 110 pounds for it and would default back to this option.

I'm also saying that that is wrong, it shouldn't be done that way and we should not be dropping contact details of such official here.

I do understand what he said but that doesn't mean that its ok to run govt business that way and we should all accept and move on

Cyberknight:
I see where you are coming from, but the point is that the CRB process, to the best of my knowledge at the time, works that way.
The first time I got one, I was still in Nigeria. I went down to Ikoyi myself, and when I got there, I asked them what to do and I was directed to an office where I met one chap (not the guy who was extensively advertised on the Canada thread) who took my fingerprints and a copy of my passport and gave me the form to fill. He then told me a price (6k or so, can't remember), told me it would take about an hour, and then we went through the process, they issued me the certificate.

So when I was outside Nigeria and I needed another one, I simply contacted him again, and he told me to download the form online, get a stamp pad and place my fingerprints on it and send a photo to print out along with a copy of my passport. I did that, and scanned it to my cousin, who printed out the form and photo and took it there and the PCC was issued.

Given that the process I followed from the UK was the same process I followed when I was in Nigeria, I have to say that there's no "encouragement or fostering of corruption there", because it was exactly the same thing. I didn't pay anything to facilitate or queue-jump the day I went to Ikoyi myself, I went there early in the morning and was the only person in their semi-furnished office for the whole hour or so I waited. I am well aware that like many such processes in Nigeria out of the 6k I paid the first time and the 7.5k I paid the second time, probably less than half of it went into government coffers, but that's the way that particular system has been programmed to operate and I don't see how that can be circumvented unless you don't want the PCC.

To the best of my knowledge, there is (or was 2 years ago) no online PCC portal, no Remita or official paypoint where you go and pay only maybe 2k or so and get an official receipt then go and demand issuance of your PCC from the police at that price, no such thing. It's totally different from the passport process for example, we all know how that works, I was impressed when I read here that you can go online and pay the official fee and then go and demand "capturing" and issuance of your passport as opposed to just paying an amount way above the official fee to get one ASAP with as little hassle as possible which has become normalised. We all know the difference between the two and the second process is to be discouraged.

If I needed another, I would follow the previous process I went through again, which is definitely official because it's the exact same process I would follow if I were in Nigeria and had gone to their offices myself and your presence is not needed for a criminal records check. I see it as being akin to having another passport issued for countries who do the passport issuance process by mail for their citizens residing abroad.

A previous poster mentioned something about a 100 quid fee for Nigerians abroad to get this done. I didn't know about this before, but that's a shitload of money and I see that fee as simply being the usual extortion the government applies to citizens abroad with the mindset that they have money to pay, and do not see anything wrong with saving myself money by following yet another official process.

That is the system i'm referring to, not contact a govt official privately through whatsapp to get something done. The indiviaul will charger whatever he wants and probably pocket some of that money.

We should stop encouraging this sort of thing, Its only helping few corrupt officials

Shallypop:
Thanks. That means they won't be any problem if I travel with d kid without him. Do I need consent letter from him?

Yes you will need that

Shallypop:
Hi all! Pls I'm confused about something. I'm I allowed to travel with my baby without my husband? They both have dependants visa but he is not going with us until a month. Is it going to be an issue at the port of entry? Cc justwise, Lagosismyhome.

You don't have to travel with him immediately but what is the latest date he has to travel to the UK with that visa?, I know some rules were changed because of Covid

Swiftylistic:
Top of the day Sir's and Ma's.

Please i will like to start my spouse visa application by the end of this month. My husband is on tier 4(student visa) and he left for schooling February this year. (We couldn't process it together due to some of our money we couldn't get).

Now. I want to apply, please what are the necessary documents required, the processing time and positive rate.

Thanking you.

That is the wrong visa to apply, you need to apply for dependant visa and the requirements are in this link https://www.nairaland.com/6331164/uk-student-visa-tier-4

Pasterlo:
Good day everyone. Please, I need your advice.
My brother got married (sham) in 2018 to a British national and applied to visit her in February 2019 because he was schooling in another country at the time. He was refused on the ground that he could not explain the inflow of cash in his account and his wife also doesn't have sufficient funds. He was asked not to appeal but can reapply when his circumstances change. Now he has a good job and would want to reapply next year with his real wife ( married in 2016) and they have a 2 years old child together. His wife (real) being the real applicant for the student visa. They want to apply as a family. They intend to get a divorce for the sham marriage this year (2021) and remarry the (real) wife in 2022. Are there chances that the visa will be granted? Any suggestions or advice will be highly appreciated. Thank you

Your brother has to be careful here, before they apply for student visa he has to make sure that he is married to only one woman with a proof that the other marriage has ended.

I guess the right time to buy Nio share
