giselle237:
you say what

They are requesting for POF for the dependant with the referenced GWF. Also period of POF requested seems to be before the application date.

Alliswell123:
Guys pls I need reference letter format to authorize uk embassy to use main applicant POF for depandent

@Duchess, @gloriyah. @justwise

Thanks

What about the birth certificate issued in Nigeria that UKVI accepts for visa. Were they issued in UK too?

Naomimary:


What you posted is contrary to what you advised.
The document clearly states “birth certificate issued in England and Wales” not birth certificate issued outside England and Wales.

Was the OP’s birth certificate issued in one of the countries listed?

Google UK visa application samples/guide. Some Schools have samples on their portal. Download it and follow the guide.

@Gloriyah @Duchess90 @Everyone please is there a caricature of how to fill the visa form, i wish ti start looking at it so as not to make mistakes when filling the main form. Thanks great people.

Sure needs to be truthful and same time pray harder. We all make mistakes and you know what, only the truth sets us free.

duchess90:
Hello,

The issues is not where he was born,it is the fact that there is already a misrepresentation.

It will definitely resurface, there is a record on the system already.
Again, he needs to be truthful going forward,this risk is that it could result to another refusal or ban or perhaps nothing.

Cheers

Kindly find as requested.

duchess90:
Hello,

Is Baptismal card a legal document?

Can you provide a link or screenshot to where it is stated on UKVI website that it is a highly accepted document as a birth certificate?

Regards

Take it easy haba. If the OP is Catholic and have a Baptismal card he/she can use it as I know it is highly acceptable in UK as a birth certificate. Don't lose hope yet.

giselle237:
oh my God. If you didn’t have your birth certificate to show proof of relationship, you should have moved the money to your account.
There is nothing like attestation of birth to show proof of relationship.
Where is your birth certificate? at this point if you want to now do a birth certificate it must be duly signed by Deputy registrar of NPC as this is a late document otherwise get ready to be refused.

I know that not every Lecturer has time to write reference. Some will even tell you to write what you want, send to them and they will sign and send back to you. Send me your email I will forward a sample to you.

Saintmaker01:
Good evening guys,
please can someone show me a sample of academic reference letter needed for UK MSc applications?

Do you mean Euro Domiciliary account, then yes you can. Your account will be debited the equivalent in Dollars.

Cjaylawson:
Pls can I pay for my ihs and visa using euro instead of dollars

Very urgent pls

That can't speak English properly.

tobyharwe:
It was asked in the eligibility form.

Some lady that can’t speak English properly also called me to interview me.

They should send you the form after phone interview.

Yes na. B4 someone will get a denial and come swear for me. Most schools state it categorically that you don't need to upload those qualifications as they were empowered by UKVI to assess them on their behave.

Gloriyah:


‘Upload because others made it a norm’

Lol..OK

Send another mail to DMC to confirm if passport has been sent to VAC.

Tahna:

Your most current employment has a longer term than the previous. Use the current and keep well.

harddrive2012:
Greetings,

I indicated on my CV that I’ve worked in two separate organizations since I finished NYSC in 2015 but the previous place I’ve worked is an informal organization with no employment letter or any evidence to show. The current one I’m working with since February, 2018 is a formal organization with employment and any relevant evidences needed available.

Would evidence from current job suffices to attach to my visa application ?

Your documents are sent to UKVI by your sponsor. It is not mandatory to upload those docs by the applicant in their visa application because UKVI has assigned those powers to the HEP to assess you and request for CAS through UKVI after sending your docs to them. However, please upload because others made it a norm.
Also note it's PBS. Having a CAS is 50points, 10points from English language (which is also in your CAS) that's 60points already.and remaining 10points is for POF( this is where most of the visa denials come from) because it must be verified.

Kindly see the UKVI student route guide that states you don't need to send your qualifications if your sponsor is HEP.

Gloriyah:


No they don’t send your documents to UKVI.

You’re to submit the documents so they(UKVI) can verify what you were accessed with.

About people getting visas by only submitting POF, I haven’t heard of it.

You are correct.The school sends your informations (qualifications as well) to Home office to request for CAS( CAS is not free; the school's pays for that).in return the Home vet and issue the CAS.

Solatium:



If you stated that in your SOP i am afraid you might have to declared it at the point of Visa application, i strongly suspect the home office and international offices of school's work hand in hand to issue cas,i just have that strong suspicion

I don't think it will raise any red flag. You changed your career for passion I assumed and to equip yourself with the right skills and knowledge academically. Also make sure your CAC is active. All the best.

Landlord2020:
Good day to all the gurus. Please I need your candid opinion.

My 10year ban for UK visa expired last year August 2021 for misrepresentation.
And have now secured admission for September 2022 intake which I made it clear to the school during the application process and they asked me to upload the refusal/ban letter which I did.

I want to ask what are my chances or what do I need to do to convince the Visa Officer?

Also, I already have masters degree in Psychology here in Nigeria in 2013 but I'm into real estate business with CAC cert since 2015; all these I stated in my SOP and was given admission into M.Sc Real Estate due to my career line.

Is it a must I declare my M.sc certificate during visa application cos some people said it will raise a red flag?

Abi oo. Na so so my friend, a close relation, my friend's friend you go dey hear.

Solatium:




Na una dey always post for una friend,there has never been anytime you guy's own up to been the one in dilemma.
Anyway the date of your wedding is immaterial provided you have long proof of relationship, letters/mails, messages, pictures will serve as proof if they call for more evidence

Is your name not on their birth and marriage certificate. If so, you are good to go.

Ayodelemerit:
Kudos to my ogas, you guys are great!

I have a question, I will start the visa processes very soon but I need a clarification.

My wife and my two kids are not bearing my surname, they answer my first name.

Question: can that lead to visa denial for them as Dependants? Though I planned they'll join me later.

Thanks

When it comes to swift payments, bank processors treats based on the transfer instructions summited by the customer.

Wizdude:


If you're certain about this boss, then I'm okay.
I'll still visit the bank to effect the changes nonetheless.

The bank or UKVI has no business on number of accounts you run in a particular bank.Use the account you know that won't give room to questionable funds lodgement for UKVI

Bhoyo:


What I mean is that having two accounts in a bank but want to run my POF on second account which is new account?

POF has nothing to do with date account was opened. I used a new account for mine and didn't have any issues.

Bhoyo:
URGENT! Please is it advisable for me to run my POF in a new account in the same bank where I already have an existing account? Please I need your advice guys before I proceed.

The bank will send telex using the information on your offer letter.

Wizdude:



Can someone advise on this please? I'm overthinking here

Has anyone been in this situation? Or you know someone who has been, please help clear the air for me. Thanks

Majority of UKVI case workers are focused on Ukraine Family visa scheme.
People are selling their GBP because it's loosing value. They might still buy it over again at a more lower rate.

Gabnyx:
1. Pls has anyone confirmed this info...is it still 6wks to treat our study visa applications ?

2. What's our present rate of getting UK study visa ? Are they still giving out study visa ?

3. Those selling GBP 3k etc... Did u change your mind not to study in UK anymore or were u refused/denied? If yes, pls why?

Any CBN licensed commercial bank is acceptable.No Nigerian bank has been blacklisted by UKVI for now.

Bhoyo:
Pls I want to know if UKVI accept Providus bank for POF? Because someone told me it has been compromised already.

Wait for your POF to mature before applying and paying for the Visa and IHS fees.

leogho:
Hello,

My POF will mature by next week and I intend to apply this week in order to secure a favourable date next week for my biometrics. I need advise on the best approach to proceed:

1. Should I opt for assisted service, if I do in what format should my documents be in (mind you I have most of my documents in PDF file)? - I am not unaware of the extra cost of this option.

2. Can I also apply, pay my IHS and VISA fee but wait for my POF next before uploading all documents.

Please, help me out with this, guru in the house.

Your assumptions could be incorrect because you did not factor population of the city.Lagos is a coastal city with massive population which boost economic activities whereas places like Canterbury with a population of around 50,000 or so may not be better than Birmingham, Leeds, Manchester when it comes to employment and oppurnities. Even though they are not coastal cities.

okonja:


According to discussions with friends in the UK, the best place with jobs availability is the south side of London and as you can see from the location of Plymouth on the map below, it is a port city located on the south coast of Devon, south-west of London. You can easily get a ship to Paris for vacation. or propose to your babe

If not for tuition high costs in some schools, cities like these (Brighton, Portsmouth, Plymouth, Southampton, Canterbury, Colchester) are the best places to school because of job availabilities in the location. If you are coming as a family, let your wife be the applicant, and target these areas as you that will be dependant will get jobs easily and make more cheese

Just like Lagos. Now imagine the opportunities Lagos economy is benefiting from having the major port entry to Nigeria.


So do your maths

You can apply for Common wealth scholarship.However, you will return to your home country after graduation.

Masjeff14:
Per se, attention to details matters alot. Pay what the school demanded you for as stated in your offer letter.

Bebesto:
Please gurus in the house, is it okay to pay more than the required deposit and still not pay the full school fee?

Please apply to as many schools as you can because some will not take you while some will come with stringent rules.

NomzyJust:



You will get admitted but make sure you have filled up the gaps since 2012 to present on your CV. And please don't apply to "countless universities" like that Uncle. Thanks

I don't get your point about been boastful. All I can see is someone trying to encourage another that feels they are not up to standard for having graduated with 2.2

NomzyJust:


Look how boastful you are. "Countless universities".
It is your type that abuses the free application process. If the application was paid, would you apply to "countless universities?"

A company becomes inactive on CAC site if they have not been paying it's annual returns. Once they pay their yearly annual returns, it turns active on their portal.

mechoau:
Pls house, I saw this thread on general uk visit visa. Pls house, is this applicable to student visa tier-4? Where job reference letter of the company one present reads inactive. Pls house who have any idea.

I just verified / got to know after I input the Rc number of the company where I work on CAC website and it reads “INACTIVE” . Now I have the job reference letter where I work but my problem is the part that reads inactive on CAC website. House, Should I be worried

And what if there's a study gap which gives room for NSF on employment details causing more delay in the visa process. There's no harm in uploading documents that gives the caseworker more comfort.

TobyTreasure:

All those are not required when filling students visa application form. You will only upload documents like
28 days account statement
CAS number
Proof of English
TB test result
Nothing more. Please don't be decived.
