Dear justwise,
I and my sisters live in the uk and we are looking to fully sponsor a cousin to come and do a masters with the hope that she could stay back obviously. My younger sistsr has the financial capacity to put in the applicaton so to avoid stories that touch she will be the sole sponsor. We have never done sonething like this before. Here is our dilemma, the course starts in three days.
We applied on friday and got the admission today. My sister just paid the full fees. How can we prepare this lady for the interview. The course is not in line with her first degree and cos we have limited time to work with i need to know the best way to go about this.

This is not going to work, please prepare for Sep admission.

Rotimi89:
your sister should stand in for her as her legal gaidian. Do all the needful and use your sister statement of account , hope she has the required amount in either currencies seated for 28days consecutively?
That means she might have to diclose she has her gaidian in the uk and i hope your sister is a legal resident?
If yes! Get a lawyer asap and do the documentation needed to show she's her legal gaidian.

This is misleading

Kolping:
A job, whether nefarious or not, is still a job.

The good thing is even if one does not want to follow the official and legal UK visa and immigration policy, one can always go through the alternative routes available.

Which is?

Am confused because I read on NARIC website that there is another statement called VISA AND NATIONALITY though the price is different from that of COMPARABILITY AND ENGLISH LANGUAGE PROFICIENCY so I want to know if i request for COMPARABILITY AND ENGLISH LANGUAGE PROFICIENCY PROFICIENCY alone it will be enough to show as proof. Did you understand what am saying sir?

Ojoaccess:
Tier 2 minister of religion sir.

You need to apply for VISA AND NATIONALITY but if you are not sure then contact Naric UK for clarification

@Victory1989


That refusal gave you answers to questions you did not answer in details, so you need to research on job prospect on your course and companies in Nigeria that may employ you.

The last part talked about the work experience you mentioned but did not provide evidence that you worked in oil and gas company after graduation. So provide evidence to support your claim.

radwad:
Hello...
Please is it counterproductive to use a bank loan to apply for tier 2 visa in order to travel to write exam in the UK?.
Does UKVI frown at it?,meanwhile the person has a stable job with regular salary but currently short of funds.

@justwise and other mods, please help

Tier 2 visa to travel to the UK to write exam? Tier 2 visa is a work visa and not something you apply just to go an write an exam

What type of visa are you applying for?

Victory1989:
Hello House the long wait is over, after so many sleepless night, lot of fund invested and stress from getting my underground transcript and othe genuine documents, TBS and finally submitting my application for a tier 4 visa, Friday 11th mark the end of the 15 working days as I got an email from TLScontact that my documents are ready for pickup.

Since I wasn’t in Lagos, I have to travel down to Lagos from Port Harcourt on a night bus on Sunday night, to pickup my documents..but the worse happens after I got my passport back without a visa and I found a letter explaining why my visa was refused, House am just confused right now as The school am to attend resumes today.

Please can the house advise me on what next to do?

Please I need advise to proceed on my next action

..and those reasons are?

Ojoaccess:
Good morning house. Please I want to confirm from those that have used UK NARIC to prove their English language proficiency for Tier 2 visas. Is it the STATEMENT OF COMPARABILITY and ENGLISH LANGUAGE PROFICIENCY that is needed to get from UK NARIC or VISA AND NATIONALLY STATEMENT? Please a brother needs our help. Thanks

Those two will be given to you separately all addressed to UKBA

adegoks1234:
I don't think you get his point. The plab exam is in 2 parts. The part 1 is written twice a year in Nigeria in three different centres in the country. The part 2 is only written in the UK.

If you tell the ECO you are going to write plab 1 in the UK, then the question becomes why can't you write it in your country when you have three different centres? It's not impossible to get visa for plab 1 but based on the experience of a lot of people that I know, it's a daunting task.

For the part 2, it's quite easy. The exam is only written in the UK. The ECO knows this.

What most people do is to apply for a visiting visa and then write the exam then. It's certainly not a crime to write an exam when you are on a visiting visa. It's never a violation of the terms of your visa.

It’s a crime because the cost of that exam was not included in the application and you did mention it.

smilz:
You don't understand. People have succeeded....Yes! But that's for plab 2 not by saying you're going for plab 1 cos we have centres here. Its not a hidden fact! Every doctor knows this...The chances are slim.

@justwise You need confirm if that thread was for plab 1 or 2

Plab2 is only written in the UK thus, you must travel.

She can send a message and I'll add her to the WhatsApp group for doctors in Nigeria taking plab so she can ask her questions there. There are over 1000 doctors that are in the process/done and working in the UK, so I'm sure they'll advice her.

I still maintain my previous comment.

There are many universities in Nigeria still people pay millions to study in the U.K. despite the fact that it’s far cheaper to study the same course in Nigeria.

People have different reasons why they prefer writing the exam in the U.K. than in Nigeria, so you need to convince the ECO why you preferred writing it in the U.K.

smilz:
1. She should apply for a visitors visa not mentioning plab exam cos it is believed that we have 3 centres in Nigeria so why travel to the UK to write it. But she can sit for her exam in the UK after she's been granted the visa...no issue with that. OR in her cover letter she can state that the exam is written twice a year outside the UK (March and November) and that would mean her waiting for months...though I must tell u they frown at the idea of u traveling to the UK for plab 1.

2. Her wanting to take plab 1 means she's a qualified doctor. Notwithstanding, Yes u can fully sponsor her trip. But would be nice if she can also present her bank statement too.

Hope this helps

1. You are not helping him by encouraging him to lie.

2. No they don't frown at people traveling to the UK for the exam because many in the thread have succeeded in doing that.

OGBORRR:
i have read the requirement section couple of times, these funds are from my share of inheritance from my late father's estate. i have saved and i have all the evidences to indicate the sources of the money.

Ok if you have read the link and specifically the area that talked about meeting the financial requirements with money from outside the UK and your wife meets other requirements then go ahead and apply

Lexusgs430:
Your choices...... And you must have documentary proof of financials..........

That number 2 point is not applicable to everyone and hardly possible

LagosismyHome:
That very harsh of them . Why couldn't they just refused instead of ban .

I am not familar with the Canadian process but is there no way to appeal or at least let them know it was an honest mistake .

Not harsh, they are actually lenient because country like the UK will hand you 10yrs for the same offence.

Schengen countries will ban you from ALL schengen countries for the same offence of lying when asked if you have been refused visa before.

I don't see this as a mistake because it's far too common now

Olalekank:
Hi everyone.
Great job so far

I understand that we've been compiling transcripts.
I'm not sure if Part 13 has been compiled but I was wondering if some people can join in compiling 13 (if not compiled) and 14.

However, in this case, we won't just compile everything together but break it into sections so that anyone who wants to read transcript for a course peculiar to him can navigate directly to it rather than having to scan though multiple transcripts.

There could be sections for chemical engineering rated courses, CS related, Mathematics related, etc.
What are your thoughts about this @justwise

If Justwise grants us permission to continue, kindly indicate interest if you wanna assist in this little bit of compilation. Thank you.

Feel free to do that if you can

OGBORRR:
i mean 65,000.00 pounds

Ok in that case that amount is more than enough but i haven't see anybody who applied with source of the money coming from outside the UK.

Let this not discourage you, read this link https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/636618/Appendix_FM_1_7_Financial_Requirement_Final.pdf

Read from Calculating the financial requirement section

OGBORRR:
Good Evening House, Thanks a lot for your very critical information on the spouse visa application platform. I have a couple of questions i would love for an expert to respond to;
I am trying to apply for a spouse visa as my wife s a full time student in the UK, and i am in Nigeria at the moment. I have a savings of close to 65,000.00 in my Nigeria accounts (NAIRA AND DOLLAR ACCOUNT) for a period of more than 6 months. my question is, does my wife need to be my sponsor

That amount is no where close to what you need for spouse visa application, yes your wife need to be the sponsor or both of you.

Let her get a job that pays at least £18,600 a year first to start with.

Naiobi:
Hi all,

Can anyone help with this please?- is it necessary to include a letter from the landlord along with the tenancy agreement for a tier 2 dependent visa application?

Because I would think that the tenancy agreement would be sufficient. But if not, can anyone give pointers as to what the content of this landlord letter is.

Thank you in advance.

If you can get one do that, it can only help your application.

It will basically state that the accommodation is suitable for the number of occupant for the accommodation and that it will not lead to over crowding

Domistic:
what is the cost to you personally of your trip in GBP?

What do we fill here. Please note that my wife and I work but we are using our private coy which has over 30m as sponsor. Both of us are the shareholders. We are budgeting 5300 GBP for the entire family of 6. We already have a board approval letter and board resolution .

Pls help

You are likely to have an issue using coy's account because this is a private trip and not for your company.

You and your wife should use your individual personal account for your family holiday.

To be able to answer that question you should first of all get the cost of the trip for all 6 of you individually then use that to answer the cost question in each form.

You also need to give a brief explanation in your own application that its a family trip

nyce55:
You are right beware of some of the people here that claim they are working in SA and those asking for your application deatails, some of them are scammers trying their luck on you

Just imagine what will happen if South African embassy is alerted about what is going on here? Any Nigerian that works there will be a suspect.

Ishilove:
Is this like hearing the 'small, silent voice', or an inspiration? Conviction? How did you 'hear' God?

That is what it’s , if you heard a loud voice then it’s from your neighbor.

God is a spirit and misters to us through our feelings and convictions.

salsera:
Fact.
Tried and tested.
In depth US immigration? Not here.

Your personal opinion should not be taken as fact.

You are obviously entitled to your own opinion but not fact.

peptual:
This was the reply I got from the school. I started filling the UCAS form but there is no place to upload supporting document.

Please, anyone who have successfully apply for undergraduate admission should assist me on this.

Thanks all

That is not from the school, that is from UCAS.

Go direct to the school website and not UCAS

smilz:
Good evening house! I know you can apply 3months prior to travel date but when do they start counting? From online submission or date of biometrics?

Thanks

That one

Domistic:
Dear Justwise and other gurus
I am about to fill our family application form. For me, wify and 4kids. My question is this. Will I write cover letter for the kids also or should I use my own and attach to theirs. What of my wife. Secondly in giving breakdown of expenses, how do I handle the kids application. Should I give breakdown or leave it vacant

One cover letter for everything traveling with you and the same with the breakdown, the same breakdown for everybody apart from the cost of flight which will be lower for the kids

peptual:
@justwise

Please am looking at applying for an undergraduate program in nursing at one of the UK universities. Am about filling out the UCAS application but there is no place to upload my university transcript.

Please, how do I get my supporting document across to the school. Anybody who have gone thru this process should plz assist me.

Also, anybody study nursing in UK, please let's conect.

Thanks all

Never use UCAS before but have you tried applying directly through the school website?

salsera:
Is your dad a US citizen or Legal Perm Resident? That would determine how long it would take. Yes probably 1-2years. This referrs to time it would take for you to be interviewed at the embassy


But what your Dad said is that the approval of the petition would take 3months which is possible. Approval of petition is just the first step.


But the real issue is how old you are now when he applies. If you are already close to 21 then please research 'aging out'. This is because this could determine whether you wait 1-2years or 7yesrs.

Nairaland is not the most detailed place for immigrant questions though.

I'm sorry but since when?

samtol4:
sorry for that if this go against the rules.I WAS ONLY ASSISTING my previous messages are deleted.thanks

This is not an assistant, all of you asking people for their visa application reference number are giving them false hope because you can not influence the outcome of their visa applications.

Lets not turn this thread to a dark web where people carry out some illegal activities.

samtol4:
send your reference number and surname to me .sir

Why? I see now that many of you are asking posters here for such info concerning their visa applications.

This questionable practices needs to stop here.
