@duchess @willams20 @mattmich
Thank you so much for your guide... come and see what God has done!
Glory to God in the highest!!!!

My 10+ years old son just got his child dependant visa. Though I applied for him and his 17+ years old brother but his brother is yet to receive his visa. We are waiting anxiously....
Application was on 17th jan and my 10+plus years old son visa was approved 18th according to the letter and we are only receiving this letter today.
We are praying to God this week my older son will get his visa too.

All elders in the house I need you all to be give me serious advice on this so I won't enter problem as jjc coming in to UK. My story will be a bit long but na as e dey do me 🤗

So I will be coming to UK in some days time. I have been searching for accommodation since early june but when non was forthcoming I posted on a private travel group on facebook seeking accommodation and someone directed me by tagging me to woman's page (this particular woman based in UK and she run school and visa application for people also she has quite a number of followers) saying she can help me by posting on her platform and I might see someone who will have a house share.

I sent a DM to this woman and she replied to my DM within 2days and she confirmed if I will be coming alone or with my partner before proceeding to posting the advert for accommodation on her page for me.

I notice she posted the advert including my city and other cities as I understand other people might have requested just like me too. That very day towards evening cos I kept on checking the post lol, I saw a woman who comment under the post that she has a room in her 2bed apartment in the city I'm going to

So we talked there on the comment section and she dropped her phone number of which we proceeded to what'sapp. She said she will be living the city soonest in August or mid September 2023 because she got sponsorship job elsewhere.

We concluded and she sent me her UK bank account (Lloyds bank) and her Nigeria account number saying I should send in one month rent as against when I will be coming to the UK to secure it. We exchange pictures, her bank accounts names are not different from her facebook name. I have also search through her facebook and the account is quite old as I can even trace her husband, siblings, relatives, ex colleagues at work due to pictures tagging.

Below are my fears but give me advice because seriously money for airbnb nor dey aswear

1) should I proceed to paying into her UK bank account instead?

2) Should anything sup will I be able to track her using her UK bank account?

3) Since she will be relocating from the city and letting me and my partner occupy her room won't the agent asked us to move out as sub letting is a serious case even here in Nigeria sef

4) Don't you guys think she should introduced us to the house agent when we get to UK so we can now sign our own contract with the agent?

5) what do you think I should be scared of?

PS: she said after payment she will send me postcode. Also my school is in Brighton and the accommodation is in Brighton £700 per month excluding bill for couple

Thank you for your reply

Yes I did paid call and got interview request.... another paid call, shortly it moved to VAC

Same generic questions : why study uk, why study your course, why choose the school, discuss your course modules, if you have dependants, who's your sponsor...etc
For the course modules... point out the credits of the modules. Research on your course that you want to study because they want to know whether you are knowledgable about your course.
And they will check if your course you intend to study is related to your bsc.
Also know your course credit units

Hope this will help


SunnshineJoy007:
Glory to God!! Congratulations!

Hello, i got the same mail now. Have you heard from them yet?
Pls do anyone know why they send such mail?

Star721:
I got this mail 👇👇 please what does it mean?

Thank you for applying for a UK visa. Your visa application has been received and is under consideration. We aim to process non settlement applications within 15 working days (unless you have opted for the Priority Visa service), and settlement applications within 120 working days.

Unfortunately, the processing of your application has not been straightforward and we will be unable to decide your application within our customer service targets. We are continuing to work on your application and aim to make a decision as soon as possible.

We will write to you again if there is any change to this. Please do not attend the Visa Application Centre until you have been advised that your application has been decided and that your passport is ready for collection.

Kind Regards,

UK Decision Making Centre

Yes I thought same, but I researched that one can still be a director as well as employee. Like you advised, i will back it up with an explanations. Thanks


Gracious11111:
A company that you claimed to be yours a few years ago, you are claiming that you are now an employee of the same company. Remember that you are going to declare the previous visa refusal and they will see it that you once claimed that the company belongs to you. Well unless you want to back it up with a convincing explanation.
