@justwise and everyone,
Just to let everyone know, all the emails I got today were from TLScontact Centre.
I haven't received any email from ukvi nor from Sheffield.
The only email I got from Sheffield was on 17th July regarding ECO.
Thank you

Hello every one
I av an interview at the embassy on September (first week) and the purpose of my travelling is to attend a conference in US(first week in october) but am pregnant (4 months presently). Am a lecturer in a government university here in Nigeria. My question is do I need to hide the fact that am pregnant or how do I go about it? pls I need advice

The different names in my document was because I did a change of name from the family surname back to my dad name while I was in school but I was unable to make that effect on my school records then. So when I submitted my application then, it was my dad name that was there as the surname which didn't tally with my school record which was the family surname. That was the first time I applied then, that was exactly what prompt me to do a change of name on my passport which was successful after I submitted all the required documents to back up my claims and have not applied for UK ever since then not until I applied for Ireland visa recently and it was the agent that said I should fill the space that indicates if this was my first passport and that bounced back. But I want to apply for UK again but need your help on this. Thanks

Ekpotek and justwise I say a big thank you for all your help. I got my passport back last week and I was granted a visa by UKVI. Although it couldn't meet up with the conference I planned to attend. Can I use the visa for a vacation later?
Thanks once again.

soxhixco:
Please I need you to help me out concerning what I need to do concerning UK visiting. I already applied twice but was refused but then I was having a different name on my passport that was not corresponding with my school documents but no I'm able to do a change of name and recently I applied for northern Ireland visa which I was refused because I filled this to be the first passport all due to the name on the passport to be different from the other passport but was refused and banned 5 years, but now I'm planning to apply for UK visa, do you think I have a chance or I will need to write a letter through a counsel explaining my ordeals and the change of name. Please I really need your help on this. Thanks

Hi,

Please I want to know how long my passport must be valid for before I can apply for a UK student visa.

I plan to apply for the Visa in October, the course I want to go for starts in January 2018 but my passport expires on 31st May 2018. Is the validity of my passport too short or can I go ahead and apply?

Thanks.

@susom.. thanks it was really helpful.
But the bank statement you submitted with your visa application
1. Did u attach a reference letter with it?
2. Was the statement addressed to the embassy?
3. Or what you did was to request for the statement and attached it like that to the application?
Thanks once again.

@justwise @mimilyrics @house.. Happy sunday and happy new week..
Please I mailed my school requesting for my cas. The screen shot was their response. I thought immediately after the 28 days count i'm to apply for visa immediately without any delay but in my case my school is saying after the 28 days I should print out the statement of account and send to them before they can issue my CAS to me. This i'm worried because the school ain't good at responding to mail on time, it could even take 5 days before getting a feedback..
Please what do you guys think I should do?

Thanks

Lamakinde:
Thanks for the response, I will write one, get it signed and take it along to the biometric centre. Also intend to scan it to my wife to include in the supporting documents already with her to be sent to Sheffield.

Chibabe4Christ:
Thanks so much @justwise.
Please I will also like to know the visa center that is more preferable, Ikeja or Victoria Island?
Also can you interpret the statement below
The UK Visa Application Centre, Lagos User Pays VAC switch

With effect from the 3rd April, 2017, the UK Visa Application Centre in Ikeja will no longer be a User Pay VAC. However, applicants who wish to submit their applications at the Victoria Island Centre will now be subject to the User Pay fee.
THANKS

Brightingsus:
To be fair, the outcome of a visa application is independent of which TLS centre the appointment took place. In other words, no centre has an edge over the other.

To answer you directly; in a nutshell, you would need to pay a fee to use the TLC centre in Victoria Island Lagos while the TLC centre in Ikeja is free to use. If you choose VI, the TLS centre fee is to be added to your visa fee.

tobe4real:
I wrote an advice on here for those seeking on how to boycott agents and someone took it down,please the person who took it down should tell me what was wrong with what i wrote

bonen:
Wow. We paid the fees and the 1k for accommodation at first. In june , Then completed the total fees in July, And we are quite a number of parents that did that from the same secondary school.

Thanks for the response will still proceed with her application. We were told because it is foundation we are not doing the child student visa thats for boarding schools.

Thanks for your quick response. God bless.

mimilyrics:
Is it a boading school?
if it is, it doesnt matter.

Chibabe4Christ:
Happy Sunday all!!! I need your suggestions on how to address my concerns and worries.
I am applying for UK visit visa and I will like to find out which form am I going to fill because my letter of invitation came from my cousin who happens to be my first cousin.
1. Will I apply for form VAF1B which happens to be for family visitor or form VAF1A for tourist or friend visitor?
2. What is the time frame (time spent in UK) that will be ok and will make VO to suspect anything?
3. Am actually going for Christmas holiday which I stated last year but they denied me though the invitation letter came from a family friend who invited I and my husband but in this case am going alone. Is it also good for my cousin to state the reason for travelling?
4. I have up to 8M from different account, do I have to state and bring evidence for all the account?
5. How much will I state I will spend in UK since I will be staying with my cousin so feeding and accommodation is totally out?
6. I also need a link to these forms.
7. Documents that I needed to submit along side

PLEASE I NEED YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS. ITS VERY URGENT!!!!!!!!!!


Thanks and God bless

Lamakinde:
House please I need your advice urgently, I have just submitted online yesterday waiting to do biometrics on Thursday but discovered I answered wrongly somewhere on 32 asking if I have been refused visa to which I have always been saying yes with proof of it and for past visas even in April this year until this last one. What can I do to remedy this as I cannot edit the form once submitted.
Should I write a letter signed stating the mistake and putting the date of refusal?

bonen:

I PAID FULL TUITION 14,250
Accommodation 5,550

school accommodation, its foundation in Nothingham and she is 16+ yrs. they gave us a discount of about 4k if not total was to be about 21k about. all written in the CAS

The account is fully active but the CAS did not reflect that we had paid the accommodation just stated the full payment we made which came to about 16k plus. the CAS also states the discount but we thought it will say accoommodation - paid. full tuition - paid. so that our account can just reflect her maintenance, if not do we still put amount of accommodation again, it will delay us as school starts on the 18th sept and CAS just came out on Friday. if it is just maintenance for 28 days we are good to go. account fluctuates but never below her maintenance amount for 28 days.
pls forgive typos.

thanks for quick response.
