simplesimple: The total POF including school fees was about 53k+pounds. The application was splited to two, main applicant 1st - 23K+ and later 5 dependents -30K+. Separate POF was used. Some of the documents used are account statements, school documents, marriage certificate, etc. I will advise you check 1st page of UK students forum for full details. |

@justwise/others who travelled from UK to Naija recently, can one transit through Qatar to Naija with only fit to fly cert (departure PCR). I can see UK is on red list of Qatar. Is there additional requirement other than PCR test? I have checked everywhere I can’t see any but want to err on side of caution. Trying avoid being stranded. I will appreciate your immediate response. Family member needs to travel from Glasgow to Lagos tomorrow. Urgently need to do booking. Thanks |

Guess I can say good night . I actually resumed late to this forum. Going by about 30 pages I have read so far, I should have been here earlier. I will still go back to read part1 and all pages of this part but I am struggling with time now. I appreciate the creator, Fatimo04, the gurus I know from other group-Justwise, Lagosishome and many amazing folks here. Ah, my journey on this mission started 3 years back from US thread and back to UK. As e be now, my family of 6 finally got visa Nov ending. My initial plan is to sort out Accomodation within 3wks b/4 our journey but that was truncated by red listing that lasted for about 2 Wks. I urgently need help on how to secure reasonable accommodation in Scotland-close to Glasgow/Paisley where I can peacefully raise kids and teenagers. Suggestion of areas to focus on will be appreciated. I have been searching Zoopla for weeks with no success yet. Our journey is this weekend and I think I may just settle for bnb/hotel for now till I sort this out but hoping it will be short to save money. Pls like which documents do I need to collect from kids schools to transfer to UK school. I have final school results already but not sure if that suffices. I have many other questions to ask relating to tax benefits for student & partner joint registration for lease, opening bank account, life generally but kindly respond on accommodation thing and school entry documents. Thank you all. 2 Likes |

Pls is anyone experiencing issues making payment for IHS or from yesterday till now? The transaction was declined more than 5 times using my dollar card and have to start another application. It has declined twice again after that. I have called GTB and they confirm no issue with the card. Also, I am unable to book appointment on TLS Ikeja for a dependent I have completed his application.

ocpaschal: There was a general delay recently due to numbers of BRP to be attended to. A mail was sent that individual do not need to bother to check for next 4 weeks. So, previous mentioned 10 days after arrival no longer matter. The mail was clear enough and addressed all what you need BRP for (work, house, etc) can be done presenting the mail. He can check back again anytime. 2 Likes |

Keralis: If you are referring to day 2 test, she used Expert Medical (£28). Their delivery after ordering is fast (btw 2-4 working days) but the result took about 4 days. I will advise you book early, get it waiting at your address b4 your arrival, take the test immediately you get to the destination and drop at post office (you are allowed to take day 2 test anytime b4 2nd day of arrival). With that you can get your result around your 4th day of arrival. 2 Likes |

DharmmieO: Thanks. I have created a new mail with misspelled email address but couldn’t get previous emails that were sent before making payment for visa. I can’t get the mail that mail for submitting documents (to move from UKVI web to TLS site). I have tried to reach UKVI for possible solution but phone message is that they are closed despite opening time for today stated on web is btw 0930am-0430pm. It’s tough. |

Good morning, Pls I need urgent help. I misspelled the email address for a dependent application that I have paid IHS and Visa fee. I am currently unable to access the account and progress the application to TLS. I tried to get in to the account through UKVI website by providing the passport number and DOB but the response am getting is that the data am submitting are incorrect (the same correct data loaded for the application). All efforts to reach UKVI through their phone lines is not working. Pls what else can I do to progress this application today? |

SoapMactavish: My wife (fully vaccinated) travelled through Lagos last and she was not asked of pre departure COVID-19 test. She did the test though to avoid stress from immigration /airport staffs. Ensure your QR sticker on vaccination card reads that you are fully vaccinated. Best of luck. |

SoapMactavish: My wife (fully vaccinated) travelled last week through Lagos without being asked of pre-departure Covid-19 test. Although, she did the test just in case the immigration guys want to give her stress. Ensure you read the QR sticker on vaccination card and your status of full vaccination is online.

Gigli: Thanks for the response. I appreciate. I was rushing to complete the application yesterday and chose No because I have read earlier that dependents (child) can use bank statement of parent. It’s not clear to me if parent still needs to sign third party form. If I must do it, I hope I can correct what I chose by attaching the third party form as evidence. Pls need more advice from those that have completed dependents application. Thanks 1 Like |

Good evening, I am filling a dependent (child) visa application, Kindly advise me if I need to say yes/no for below question relating to financial evidence. The account for POF is in parent’s name. When I tried yes, I was prompt to submit a letter by applicant and third party. Thanks

MaryMarkus:Thanks for your update. I will advise at this early stage of changes, it’s safer to do pre-departure COVID-19 test even if you are fully vaccinated. There are some frustrated souls that are ready to transfer their energy. I also discovered that your vaccination card may carry full vaccination and online status check using QR on your card will show partial vaccination. I was rest assured that I am fully vaccinated 4 months back and ready to take that advantages but was stunned to see partial vaccination online after doing QR check. Simply put, the agency is not fully updating status online. In addition to your status on vaccination on card, pls check status online and follow up on status update if not same by calling the phone number of the health team written on your card. 1 Like |
