Can you send the link for confirmation so everyone can benefit and remove doubt? Probably the rules have recently changed.

Hey Sis,
Use the FOI Act

https://www.gov.uk/make-a-freedom-of-information-request

Narrate your circumstances and state that UKVI hasn't responded to you. If you have receipts of your communication attach it. It is unusual for a ppt to be held that long without any substantial information as to what is going on. I hope you find some help.

According to UKVI rules, Your family members can only come to the UK if:

• You hold (or are applying for) a Tier 4 (General) visa in order to study a course at Masters level or above for 12 months or more.

• You are a new government-sponsored student who holds (or is applying for) a Tier 4 (General) visa and you are coming to the UK to follow a course of more than six months (https://www.southampton.ac.uk/studentservices/visa-and-immigration/faqs/faq-family-dependants.page)

Therefore, if your are self-funding, you will not be able to bring your dependants to the UK nor qualify for post study visa.

SOLUTION

Look for another MSc course that is minimum of12 months to bring your dependant to the UK.

However, if actually, your aim is to have a UK MSc then choose the cheapest and easiest route by applying MSc Accounting and Finance at University of Northampton (https://www.northampton.ac.uk/courses/accounting-and-finance-top-up-msc/) It only costs £2,220. The programme is designed for AIA, ACA, ACCA, CIMA, ICAP holders and there is only one module for the programme. Note that it is a distance learning programme so you and your dependents are ineligible to come to the UK

Guys, whats the timeline trend for Standard Tier 2 (Skilled Worker Visa) applications?

I submitted biometrics 1 SEPT , I did love to have an idea what time it's been taking to process that category of visa.

I understand 90% of applications are said to be processed within 15 working days.

Kbalinger:
The 60 working days you saw, was the visa issued after class start date when it can no longer be used?

ieltsace:
See your UKVI people. After 49 days (weekend inclusive), see wetin dem talk.

Kbalinger:
Haaaa July? When is your class starting ma?

Kbalinger:
Hello good people of nairaland. I need advice on my delayed Tier4 visa. I applied to study MSc Artificial Intelligence and Data Science at the University of Hull and my class starts September 20, 2022(next week monday). I submitted my visa application on the 1st of August and completed biometrics on the 3rd of August (paid for priority service)but up till moment(30 working days), no decision has been made on my application. My school latest/alternative start date is October 15, 2021 but I need to observe the 10 days COVID 19 isolation so I should be in UK latest by October 4, so time is of the essence. I have sent paid mails twice and made escalations but the same reply I get is that my application is under processing. Earlier this year I visited south Africa and overstayed for some few days due to circumstances beyond my control and this got me a 1 year ban from south Africa which I stated in my UK visa application. A week after applying, I got a non straight forward mail so I suspect it could be because of the ban. What can I do in this situation? Is it possible they grant visa after school resumes? What can such a visa be used for since I can no longer join class? Should I withdraw my application?
I am deeply worried. Please help a sister

Hello Fam, Please when applying for administrative review, are you attaching your response or typing it into a box. And whats the character limit. pls help

obisdupsy:
Please house I need your advise, my husband applied for visa on Wednesday 8th September, he quoted there that we will be traveling together I tried applying on Friday night 10th September while trying to pay IHS and other fee, it's asking for my husband visa expiry date. So we couldn't proceed. Could it be that his visa has been issued cos he did priority.

crossbonehelped:
Good morning house. Need help and advise.
I'm planning on traveling to the UK on a student visa for the January admission and intend to go with my fiance. We haven't done the court marriage yet though we've been dating for about 5 years with mails and chats to that effect.
I read about the unmarried partner and was wondering if anyone has advise on that or I should do a court marriage but I'm also concerned if that won't be seen as not being genuine considering the court wedding will probably be about a month to when we want to apply for the visa.

Hey sis...

Hi, been following your case, any luck with your visa?

Mrtrypes:
. Oh thanks, do I need to have it for 28 days. Do you know how much for initial tuition deposit?

Mrtrypes:
Hello house, Pls I’d like to know if Roehampton uni usually requires POF before issuing CAS so I can start counting already. I got a pre-condition offer for project management (Msc)

Ella15:
Pls who has applied for an administrative review here on the grounds of UKVI being unable to contact your financial institution for POF confirmation?

Can I apply for the review myself? Or do I require the services of a lawyer? How long would it take?

Any advice?

onyiibest8:
You are not alone. I had my biometrics on the 6th of July, got not straightforward email on the 9th. First interview didn't hold. Finally interviewed on the 26th of July and here I am still waiting for a decision.
It's very frustrating

JahMan1:


I actually came to ask the same question. Thanks for the prompt answer. What happened is that I used the course end date as stated in my spouse's CAS as the visa expiry date (since she doesn't have a visa yet). That's what made my IHS to be around $673 instead of the $1,008 that she paid. I hope I am in order?

Did you declare the refusal?

vivvica:



People with 10 refusals were even given visa . Something must be wrong and I believe you deserve an answer from them since July . if they will give you or not. .. I think you should write them a proper paid mail about how you feel about the application. I can’t imagine waiting that long and even paid for extra service .

justwise:


That is too long for a priority application , any previous immigration history?
