My Cousin is preparing to travel for his Masters. He said that he needs to get a date but he is required to pay a service charge of about #300k before paying another #300k to get an emergency visa interview Date. I just stumbled on this threat and want to confirm whether this is needed as I don’t want him to be scammed.

This is the combined experience of people I know. This list is not absolute but a guide.
DIVORCED MOTHER:
What you’ll need:
1. The divorce certificate- I hope this is self-explanatory. If not applicable to you, skip to next.
2. The Guardianship/Sole custody Certificate- this is a court appointed certificate obtained when you apply for sole custody of your child. It can be a long-drawn process,depending on how bad things are with your ex-husband,and it involves multiple tasks( for example, publishing a news ad that you have applied for sole custody etc) The certificate made in some countries is standardized. Invest in a VERY good lawyer.
3. Permission from court for the minor to travel abroad- after obtaining the Guardianship Certificate, you will make an application for permission to allow your child to travel with you to the UK. The reason for this,is that some sole custody Certificates are standardized, and some might have a clause saying if you have sole custody — all is well provided you don’t remove the child from the country. This is why this permission from the court is required IN ADDITION to your Guardianship Certificate. You can have this worded according to your circumstances, but make sure the main objective is clear: Child allowed to travel to UK with mother.
4. Once you’ve acquired the above three documents, apply for the visa, and you can quote in your cover letter that you have met the conditions laid out in Paragraph 319H(f)....please read through the paragraph so you understand what I mean.

U would need above docuemnts plus u have to provide evidence how you are going to study and care for that child 24/7 without depriving child from parents care and love

WIDOWED MOTHER:
1. The death certificate of the father-again,self explanatory,I hope.
2. Sole guardianship certificate- as above. You will still need to apply for a formal Guardianship Certificate appointed by court. The process is very similar as to the divorced mother,but there is usually no one to challenge/contest the Guardianship.
3. Permission to travel from court-as above.

I hope this helps.
Please do not DM me to ask me questions about your circumstances.
I cannot offer you marital advice or legal advice.
The documents I’ve stated are absolutely necessary. I don’t know of any alternatives.
When in doubt...google.
Feel free to add information I may have missed out.
Good luck!

Thanks very much for this...

Yes physically booking @ their offices is the way forward especially during rush seasons (September n January intakes)
So, from now till January 2023, one should book @ their offices nationwide otherwise, OYO is person’s case

Trying to book online since yesterday but getting to the end it will say "error encountered, sorry slots not available".

This is terrible and I don't know why things cannot just work well in this country.

Hey guys, please how long does take for PTA to be approved lately?

Did anyone have a problem not receiving OTP while trying to register on the e-form A portal?

Please how did you scale through this hurdle?

I hope Turkish airline does not require a pre COViD test for fully vaccinated traveller's?

Please has anyone who is fully vaccinated here travelled recently with them?

For those that have used the e- form A, is it possible to apply for your PTA and also apply to pay the balance of your tuition fees?

Nope, left for my destination. Couldn't afford being told some rubbish for excuses.

So getting PTA is another hurdle? I thought you will be given immediately you apply.

19th Abuja Received at VAC. DHL on the way to deliver the passport.

I just realized a mistake on my visa application form.

In the area they asked which qualification will you get, I choose RQF4/SCQF7 instead of RQF7

Will this have an effect on my application?

I had since done my biometrics.

@justwise and others pls advice...

I previously studied in the UK 9years ago but overstayed for 27days and left by myself.

Now I want to apply for a student visa again, should I mention it in the application and will it have an impact on the outcome?.

Does anybody have any idea about this situation? Orr is there anybody that had overstayed his stay before now and still got visa?
