Hello FAM, i want to make payment for my ECA using ICES. I was told using online application that one requires a Credit Card and not debit. How do one go around this as most of the cards here are Debit Cards

Let me try and answer to the best of my knowledge...

1. You can use the IELTS General u used for UK Visa, however, be sure to get ITA and AOR before the expiry date. I think it would be locked after that date so you might not need to write again. (Please seek further clarification on this)
2. POF: I would suggest you use both sources of funds...

3. You can request fr one work reference letter but make sure you check that both job roles are in the required job skill level (O, A or B)

4. Medicals, I would advise you book your appointment now considering you have a limited time to submit your application due to your IELTS expiry date, there is currently a long wait time for medical appointments in Nigeria now. If you are in the UK, i think wait times for Visa Medicals is still 1month, so either way, you need to act fast!

5. Amen to your prayers

Please, guys what's the cheapest and best way for wifey to transfer funds to me in naija?

Is creating UK PayPal a bright idea?

Thanks in advance

Lexusgs430:


A - Simply request log on details......
B - The applicant submits documents in Nigeria. So sponsor has to find a way to send original documents + biometric copy......

Please is it still possible to carry powdered milk? or any kind of milk is banned?

Lovell234:
Can a general ielt result from British council be used for a tier 2 visa? What ielt score is needed for a UK tier 2 visa, and does an accompanying spouse need to write ielt too?

Hunnybee:
Ok. Thank you very much.

chiinj:

- cover letter signed by her confirming that she is my mum and explaining her ties to home, business etc.
- proof of business - CAC certificate of her company and necessary tax docs

What else can I add to this please? Thanks.

Hello,

Please, in view of my Tier 2 Dependant UK visa to join my wife, I'd like you to help clarify the following:

(1) The CoS - from what I know is just a number. Is there any doc of any sort that one needs to print out?
(2) IHS or NHS - I haven't seen anything to its effect during my application filling. Where and how do I make the payment?

Thanks

chiinj:
Wow! Congratulations to you and your parent.

House please. I intend to do the same for my mum. Although the budget will be different. I'm looking at a budget of £800 because from the thread, endlessgrace, ekpotek etc advised that it is better to have the money for the ticket + a small amount to cover additional expenses (i'm thinking of £200).

I only intend to submit my current(salary) account along with payslips and other information although I will be moving the money from my savings account ( I will explain that I moved the money from my savings to prove that the funds are easily accessible in a cover letter).

Although I will be sponsoring the trip fully, I will be stating that in the form but will say that she will have some money to hold during her trip in case of any emergency.

Please house can someone advise me if I am missing some more information. Does she need to submit other documents apart from birth certificate, proof of ties to home and bank statement to show she has the money to hold for the trip in her account?

Thank you

marylanderr:
Thank you for your quick response. Yes, all of the about were submitted. Bank statements however does not have much but shows a steady inflow of payments. Submitted support letter, bank statements from the UK, then land properties, employment letter and bank statements from parent’s side in Nigeria. How long did your parents’ application take? We applied a week ago but I only just received an email saying application in possession of Ukvi even though TLS has had it like that since last week.

Thanks again.

marylanderr:


Can you advise on how this worked out for you? If a British citizen is trying to invite her parent and is sponsoring the parent’s trip (as a gift) is it accepted?

Thanks

Gurus clear me on this
I'm married but still bears my Maiden name that I used for my passport (don't want to change my name for now), my passport expires in 3 months so I need to do a renewal.
Now my question
1. Will NIS update my status to married (remember I won't change my name)
2. If NIS won't update my marital status will dat affect me when I apply for visa as married and want to travel with husband and son who has a different last name from mine
3. What documents do I have to provide at the embassy to buttress the fact that am now married even though my recently renewed passport still bears my old name and has my status as single.
Thanks

All of una dey run comot?

PefHouse:
Good day house,
Can someone please advice. My parents intend to go to the UK to visit my sister.

Mum: Still works and receives her salary (salary account), she also has her savings (savings account). She did a lump sum transfer from the savings to the salary (2weeks to intended application date). She would be presenting only the salary account to cover all expenses of the trip for both of them.
Dad: Is a contractor, no steady income ( he does not intend to use his account).

Now in other to show proof of finance
- Does my dad need to show a letter of sponsorship even if they are married and intend to travel together
- I hope no flags will be raised on the lump transfer

Note: Both have been issues UK visas in the past and have traveled there

Thanks

Jaydee11:

Thanks Mr KDK for your response too. I am not sure my husband will allow him to travel alone. He is just 6, my husband won't allow O. It is okay for me to go nd pick him, although I need to do a few things in naija so I will use dt opportunity.
Also, as regards our accommodation in UK, is the tenancy agreement OK for proof of suitable accommodation or do we need to get a fresh letter from our landlord?
Thanks so much.

Frenchfriez:
Good day house, permit me to ask this here. Is it possible to apply for a US visit visa and have the interview in the UK while on a Tier 2 visa?

Loritess:

Ok thank you very much. I don’t have intentions to lie lol. But I’m my application after my wedding will I put Miss or Mrs and my maiden name? Because I won’t do a change of name until I get to the uk.

shemafia:


Sorry guys, I didn't mean to go all silent. My application was not successful. Its not exactly funny dealing with a refusal.
Reason for refusal: Hubby mistakenly submitted bank statement for 2 months instead of 6. Not that he didn't have it (He has worked at the same job for almost 10years), but as of now he can not say how he managed to make such a mistake.
I was so sure we would get it, because i did my home work well. Moving forward, we will try again. Immediately.
I wish everyone still waiting a happy ending.

Mamatukwas:
Sabi folks in the house. Good morning.

Can anyone recommend an insurance company that will give us fair rates to be able to drive. I heard that as new drivers and non-eu members rates can be quite high. Pls if anyone knows a coy who isn't too biased in this direction kindly recommend. Thanks.

wonlasewonimi:


Account that starling bank, monzo bank and revolut will open for you without stepping out of your room with just a copy of your naija pali or provisional driving licence. In fact, starling bank account is arguably the best current account in the UK as at today

@justwise

I have been assigned a certificate of sponsorship from my sponsor and want to apply for my Tier 2 visa. The issue is, the job start date on my CoS is 2nd January 2018 but I don't think it would be possible for me to apply before this date. The CoS will expire in March.
Can I apply after the stated start date if it is still before the expiry date of my CoS?

MoyoGENERAL:
congrats bro. How many weeks/months are you staying?
