When you can settle permanently
The earliest you can apply to settle in the UK (called ‘indefinite leave to remain’) is after you’ve lived in the UK for 5 years continuously on a family visa as a partner.

You cannot include time you’ve spent in the UK:

on any other visa
as a fiancé, fiancée or proposed civil partner


#copied from gov.uk
do I have to pay another IHS fee if I’m switching to a family visa ?

Hey guys, I’m currently a student in the UK and I want to attend a conference related to my course in June. It will be holding in Ontario

If I start my visa application now, is there a possibility that my visa comes out by end of May ? To enable me attend the conference

If my conference date pass and my visa application is still pending, can I still get the visa once they get to my application?

Stop wasting your time and money applying for a smelly USA Visa !

They don’t want you in their country

Come to the UK, It’s an easier route to study so far you are financially capable

Hey Guys, my school uses a third party payment partner to process and receive payment.

Now I wanna pay my tuition via Form A to this third party company.

your study gap? did submit employment letter or just reference letter that is if your study gap is much? was there an interview?
VISA Alert

No NSF
No Interview
Abuja TLS, priority

Completed and submitted my visa application on the 12th of December
Paid for Flexi-Walk in and Did biometrics on the 13th of December the next day
Collection mail came on the 19th of December
DHL delivered to me on the 21st of December
My visa shows it was issued on the 18th of December!

Finished from Uni in 2018, so my study gap is not so long

I am self employed and I submitted CAC certificates and FIRS documents. Few days after my submission, I discovered that my business name was showing as inactive on the CAC portal even though I had duly paid my annual returns for the year. I immediately sent a letter explaining the situation via a paid mail and letting UKVI know the fault is from CAC and also attached proof showing that 3 active Nigerian banks are showing as inactive on the CAC portal too. I got my visa!

___

My elder brother who is also going for his masters had a successful application too. He works 9-5. He submitted his employment letter, pay-slips and promotion letter. The bank statement he uploaded as his proof of fund is different from his salary account, he got an NSF asking for further proof of employment and for him to send his bank statement showing his salaries being paid for the last 3 months. He sent that same day after receiving the mail. And he got his visa.

It’s all been God
I wish other intending applicants success
