Pure greed .....

Evelyn20:
Good morning guys,
i know this situation has been discussed already, but i just need to know if someone has actually tried processing his/her visa without the visa assurance fee this year. My agent asked me to pay 1200 dollars. i already have the invitation letter, i didn't use an agent for this. i went through a student. is it actually possible to do this on my own and get the visa successfully? He is a sure agent,my friend i started the process with paid the money and her visa is already out. but i cant afford this fee in this economy. thank you

Thank you so much for your response @Justwise My husband is already in UK and the question wasn't on my own application form, it was only asked in the children's applicaton form. The funds is in my account and the kids will also be using my account. Since this question is directed to the kids in their application form and we will all be using my account as proof of funds, will the answer still be a 'NO'?

Hello house pls I need clarification.... @Justwise @LagosismyHome @mimilyrics @aprokodaughter @awumen

I’m making an application for myself (wife) and 3 kids to join my husband who resumed for study in UK this year January. I would be using my statement of account containing #14m as proof of funds for myself and 3 kids.

Pls note kids are 5yrs, 3yrs and a few months old baby.

I would like to know if I’m supposed to create different applications for the children or is there a way they will fall under my own application?

Also below is a pic of an area of the child’s application form where I got confused and now I need help to know which is right to pick. If I pick yes it says I need to fill a third party declaration consent form. I’m confused if I’m supposed to pick ‘yes or no’. If anyone has gone through this stage before pls help.

Pls I would appreciate your kind and helpful responses. Thanks!

Your stance on this issue is really not clear.

What @ OmamedeRex was postulating was that one should not let the visa officers think that one intends to remain in the UK after studies. T[b]his is clearly a requirement when applying for Canadian study visa for example, even though majority of those who get Canada study permit go on to become permanent residents. Otherwise, one's study permit application will be refused. [/b]

Now, for the UK, will it be best for your application to indicate you have no intention to remain in the UK after studies or not?
And @HYFR007, this has NOTHING WHATSOEVER to do with being a genuine student or not. Because the funds to study is completely available, and there's every intention to focus and complete the study.

kcmontez:
Hello guys

Can someone explain the rules of quarantine? Can someone go outside to take pictures or not?

olaness:
What if one is asked such question as:
1. What are your plans after your studies.
2. What do you intend to do after you finish your course?
3. How will this course benefit your future aspirations?
4. How do your studies fit into your career plans?
Etc
Pls note that these are sample interview questions provided by two different schools.

So how best can one answer such questions in order not to jeopardize one's visa chances?

olaness:
pls explain why you say that those are outright lies. Should we go ahead to let the interviewer feel we intend to explore settling in the UK?

finnacle2020:
hello Nairalands, am considering travelling to UK for 2 years masters degree after which my family will join me I am married with 5 kids and my wife works with a federal agency. recently a friend told me that i need about 25m to 30m to fully settle with my family in UK.

am thinking of selling my property in lagos to raise the money but does it worth?

FraudMan:
To think some people were already praising him.

OmamedeRex:
Tips to pass credibility interview because I had mine.
1. Make sure you don't let feel u have tie with country you are going. If asked, don't admit you have relatives in that country.
2. Make sure tou try to let the interviewer see how u could come back to Nigeria and make use of your studies. Find away to take their mind off thinking you want to work in the there after studies. Don't even say u will further to your studies there after u finish.
Make them feel u are strictly going to stay at the school accommodation or recommended accommodation. Research if the school has accommodation or the accommodation is the one the school recommend for students. Know the address and cost and different option they have.
3. Don't ever say or show interest in football if u are mistakenly asked. I knew someone who was taking through that path
4. Make sure you research your course. Know what the course is all about and make sure you relate it to what you want to use it for back home.
5. Know your school ranking. Awards and so on and so forth
6. If you have study gap, tell them u were working and make sure your job line relates to the course u are going for. Form something. Connect the course to your work experience.


The main idea of the interview is psychological to test you and find out if u have any plans to not return back to Nigeria. So u must show how relevant your course is to u in developing yourself back home.
Talk slowly with confidence. They can read your voice and the way you respond to questions.

If you need more information just let me know.

Hello everyone, please I need clarity on this. My brother in-law is as Uk ILR but over a year now relocated to canada to live and work. Can I claim him as family member living in UK. Or I choose I don't have family member in UK?

Vick6666:
You really don’t need to be rude this is just a question if I knew better I wouldn’t ask and thanks for the advice I have another question my dad agreed to start saving up the money in my account till end of July am I on the right track ?

Vick6666:
Hi bro I need your advice on something I have someone who wants to fund my account till I get the visa is it a good or bad idea ?

slimdolyin:
Also asking the same thing..... If they truly confirmed the statement and funds the wasn't available why did they give him right to administrative review?

Ablecrystal:
No matter the kind of relationship that exists between the embassy and the banker, banks have an obligation to keep secrecy about theirs customers’ accounts. But, occasionally, the banker has to disclose the information related to their customers’ accounts when:

1. It is required by law
2. It has a public duty to
3. To protect own interests or,
4. If a customer agrees.

So I think we all have to read the terms and conditions on the application we want to submit to be sure the number 4 point (customer consent) is not applicable.

slimdolyin:
If truly they confirmed the funds wasn't there they won't ask them to do administrative review. It will be straight ban

LagosismyHome:
Unless you work in the embassy then this is pure speculation.... its possible they have different process per naija bank .

Because while you state this confidently , other personal experience has proven that some have been checked

slimdolyin:
If you send a bank statement to the embassy, the embassy will send it to the bank to confirm all the letter on that statement if it's genuine as at the day you printed it. So it not like the embassy will mail the bank to confirm if the funds is there or not.

ralphtamtobi:
I am her brother, i am here, however the husband would come in some months time.
Yes it is her first pregnancy.

Goddys:
You always think you know it all but you really don't. Banks owe customers fiduciary duty to protect their private details at all cost. The disclaimer you talked about has nothing to do with this legal relationship.

Stop claiming knowledgeable in area you know nothing about. I have worked in that sector before.

The questions from embassy to banks during verification is a "yes or no" question, and usually doesn't require banks to check present status of the customer's account.

Goddys:
Which bank did you hubby use. His bank clearly violates their fiduciary duty to protect customer's sensitive information.

Banks are never to divulge the present account balance of their customers.

Bourne007:
Not sure why you are confused as you stand zero chance of winning.

This is exactly the reason why build accounts are inadvisable as repeatedly said by justwise on this same thread.

LagosismyHome:
You can't really blame agents..... the rules are in black and white for you to read yourself . Its a process that don't even need an agent

That been said I won't go for admin review, you might lose. If its only a little that was taken out then maybe you can present that it was done to be used for school waka. However all taken out flags that this not a genuine account build.

You can try apply again and ensure you leave it to the end but nobody can predict how the second application will go. Due to this first one there might be extra scrutiny, interviews and checks. You can then only prepare well and hope for the best

Sherynna:
He enrolled 18th of January. Can he re-apply for September session? And is there any assurance he will be given Visa?

Futureukstudent:
yea you are right..everyone has his own burden. But like I said, what if she has made plans with the relative (which means they might have told her they are willing to host her and help her ease into the system) for a while. Ofcourse everyone get wahala, but some families are so close not to be able to accommodate each other. You can't compare family A with family B . You no Dy their family oo and hence you don't know their plans. All I was just against anyway was the way that person sounded. Condemning her like say she be the first person to travel abroad with pregnancy.

ralphtamtobi:
Hi, I have a question. My sister has an admission for April 2021, but she is pregnant. By the time we keep the money in the bank and apply for VIsa(If we pay for priority, she should get her Visa between 8th to 15th april. She will be 27 weeks pregnant then, she is due in JULY
Her husband wouldn't be able to come in with her immediately. Will this be an issue at the point of entry?

Or what do you advice, Plus does she need to tell the school she is pregnant now or after she arrives?
