What school is this please and why was there a need to compare qualifications in the first instance?

Sellany:
Hello all,
So I just got my statement of comparability from UK NARIC and it states that my Bsc from Unilag does not have honours comparable with the UK honours. The school has declined my offer to study at MSC levels and advice I go for BSc.
Has anyone been in this situation.

Your concern is understandable as per the suggested proximity of events however, backdating in this instance can be viewed as fraud so kindly do not go this route. As this is an existing relationship, there are a number of ways you can demonstrate it is genuine alongside the marriage certificate. You can add a curated selection of photos of life events showing your relationship e.g., introduction photos, birthdays, family functions, holidays etc. you can also include a curated selection of email messages, text messages and any joint ventures e.g bank accounts, property etc

Opeyemikas:
Good evening everyone
My fiancé and I are going for our court marriage by next week,since I’m going with him as his dependant so my question is that is it advisable to back date the marriage certificate so they don’t think it’s because of the visa application we did court marriage or we should leave the date as it will be….thanks in advance for the reply

Ok so you have posts saying an NSF was received and another suggesting you are preempting an outcome, and new information saying the previous and current MSc programmes are identical. which is the exact scenario?

Kalakris:
Na why I wan know if dem no go begin reason say.....why the person wan go do another Msc for the same course again

Kalakris:
If a student who graduated in 2017 (5 years study gap) has been sent a NSF mail requesting for what he or she has been doing since graduation, can the person upload further studies (M.Sc) admission letter and result as what he/she has been doing during the 5 years period?. Will they have a problem with proving academic progression?.

Kalakris:

Today is just 9 days after biometrics. Forgot to upload NYSC cert. No NSF yet

What business does your uncle do? how long have you worked there? what is your job designation there? how many years gap do you have? what have you been doing since you finished school?

Bridie2:
Good day everyone. Please I need your help. I was asked to provide an employment letter or pay slip. I have been working at my uncles shop but it is not registered. How do I explain this? Can I snap pictures in front of the shop as a prove? Please help out on how I can do this. Thanks @justwise
@duchess
Any idea please?

An affidavit is fine. You do not need to do a new birth certificate. recency of the affidavit doesn't matter in this instance.

WendieT:
Good morning,

Thank you very much to all those that have been assisting by answering questions. It is really appreciated.

For my Visa POF, I intend using a sponsor, which is my Mum, for which I will require my birth certificate which has an issue. My name is spelt in full on the birth certificate, but on all my documents including international passport, it is shortened. For example, on birth certificate it is written as Ngozika, but on all documents, as Ngozi. I have always used this birth certificate though, and it has never been an issue, but I don't want to take any chances.

I tried doing another birth certificate but they said issuance date cannot be changed so it will have a recent date which would look highly suspicious.

If I get a court affidavit to say that both names are same person, will it be ok? Also considering the fact that the affidavit will have a recent date.

Can I attach my local government identification also, as it has all the names spelt correctly?

Your kind response will be appreciated.

Thank you.

This is pretty straight forward. you can reasonably explain this chronologically as you have done below attaching the evidence.

Kalakris:

Graduation 2017
NYSC 2018-2019. (Forgot to upload)
Nigerian Msc 2020-2021.

Has the studies lasted for the entire 5 years? The studies can be part of what they have been engaged in but what else? The ECO would not be expecting a minute by minute account however they would need to state other significant activities that can be reasonably explained and substantiated.

Kalakris:

I am not quite sure that the below emboldened captures my response

alongetayo:


You really do not need to disclose your MBA.

My wife has a Msc and it wasn't disclosed. We have our visas already

No correction required. This question specifically checks previous evidence of English Language ability. If this is your first UK student visa application then the anwser is a NO.

eljidy:
This should be "Yes". Someone provided an information regarding this yesterday that it should be "No". If you CAS already confirmed your English language it should be Yes.

I need help with this mistake.

I picked "No" and I have made payment. How can I correct this? Or this be overlook by the UKVI because CAS states my english proficiency and I have a Neco to support it.

Thanks

Generally, MA/MSc International Business Programmes are conversion programmes. This means applications from any discipline are welcome on this type of programme. Most Unis also have a 2'2 degree entry requirement (T&C's may apply for top 10 Business Schools).

So you can apply with just your Undergrad transcript. Business Analytics however is trickier as they are generally not conversion programmes and may require some quantitative ability .You may be able to show relevance as per the entry requirements from some modules you have studied on your MBA programme and also work experience.

Kingkom:
duchess90, please your input will be appreciated and other gurus in the house.

Guys please I need your advice. I want to apply for a business/management related course. I have a bachelor's degree in English and a MBA. But as it's right now I may be able to get only the degree transcript. I have made all efforts to get my masters transcripts but I keep hitting a brickwall. Can I upload Attestation of result along with my degree transcript? Will the schools insist on the Masters transcript? Can I get admission to MSc International business management or Business Analytics with only my B.A English transcript.
Note : I have the certificate of both degrees.

Yes Please

IPDaley:


Thanks a lot. So, in the case of the bolded, this will be done through NSF mail asking her to provide this?

Usually banks would request that you provide your correct email address or the email address you want linked and authorize the change by writing a letter or providing the details on their template. what is the particular challenge?

Oggg:
Pls help.
Who has successfully linked their email address to their BVN to be able to avail form A or PTA.
I have tried to sort this out with First bank- but no way. Desperately need help.

She would be starting from Foundation. To be considered for a direct entry year one she would need to have completed her A levels or completed an OND Programme/HND programme or completed year 2 of a Bachelors degree programme.

Chysunshine1:
Please team,

My sister has gotten her Waec result,but we want her to do her degree abroad.is she to start from foundation or straight to degree? And which school/ schools can you recommend. In the past ,some schools were asking of additional certificate which we could not provide.Is there a short course than one can do in Nigeria in other to get B.Sc admission?

So i really don't think this is a deal breaker.

Institutions always state on the CAS the documents used in assessing the application and which of the evidence of the qualifications used to obtain the offer is required to be provided during the Visa application and also notify the UKVI of this. This is the reason why institutions highlight that they are a Higher Education Provider (HEP) with a track record of compliance.

The reason student visa applicants should have their transcript/certificate handy and add it with the visa application outside a notification on the CAS is because there is a provision for it on the visa application document checklist.

If there are issues of compliance with immigration rules from the institution, the ECO may want to see every document used to obtain the offer and the applicant would be notified to provide this.

IPDaley:


Okay, so are you saying it could go either way? She might get NSF provide the cert, or they might overlook it?

Thank you for sharing this. I guess now people can understand that some actions can have very costly outcomes!

Cantbeatit20:
I saw this in the telegram group that I am in. For those asking if they can remove the POF after printing out statement to apply for visa.

Hello. Kindly clarify that you are sharing a similar experience from your application to the University of Lincolnshire. or is this from another UK University?

Kultony:
I had same issue. I was asked to provide letter from WAEC acknowledging this mistake or get certificate reissued by WAEC with correct DOB.

In my case, I replaced with my NECO certificate since the process with WAEC takes time and costly.

Hope this helps.

There is an error in the date of birth on my WAEC certificate and I want to use it to apply to University of Lincolnshire so I want to know if I can support it with court affidavit. Do UK universities accept Court Affidavit.

Perfect! he can reasonably explain this there as well with a bit of details.

eg i have been volunteering as a substitute teacher(or whatever capacity) in ------------ school since --------- date. i teach English Language to children in Primary --------- .

The school can substantiate this with a reference letter as well.

Kellyd2:


Thanks a lot.

His wife has a school and he has been assisting.

Any of the 3 documents listed will suffice

Lekeisaac:
Please enlisten me on this more, are they asking for l this document or only one out of it because I Can't get my payslip

The evidence required is expected to cover an 11 year period. He should provide the evidence he has up until when he left work. this is still substantial as it covers a 10year period. do you know what he has been doing since July? If he has been doing any volunteer work he can reasonably explain this, if it is also that he just decided to take a break and refresh since July he can also reasonably explain this.

Kellyd2:
My friend got this NSF now, how can he go about it
He has the documents but has been out of work since July last year.
Does it matter if that one year and a month gap is not covered.

The best case scenario is that you will get the NSF. However, If there is an opportunity to be explored where the TLS can still link this to your submission because you had subscribed to their assisted service and at zero cost, by all means. it will take nothing from you.

if not, fingers crossed for the best case scenario.

SaintOpzy:


Thanks for earlier.

I reached out to them yesterday when they sent a questionnaire for me to fill and I received a reply today saying that since it was assisted, I can still go back there and ask that they upload the document.

But on my tracker, it's already been recieved by the DMC, do you feel I should still go or wait hopefully for the NSF

I already replied the mail but they haven't gotten back to me.

@offwego , samcathe , kuvalis , ignis , @dduchess90

Unfortunately this doesn't change the rules on withdrawing from studies. The University being attended is obligated to report this to the UKVI as has already been mentioned to you.

MrDetermined:


There's more to this than I wrote here, who would want to pay millions of naira as tuition fees when he could apply for tier 2?

After applying for the school and just a few weeks to departure, the gurdian had a serious issue which will make him not continue with the education anymore. Rather than coming back we think he should stay for now and maybe start working.


Please hope you understand me?

Yes Parents bank statements can be used for POF in this instance. My initial response was based off the official financial sponsor attributes. I stand corrected

giselle237:
WRONG.
Pls stop if you can.

Yes it is totally possible for them to have used their parents bank statement. my initial response was based off the official financial sponsor attributes. i stand corrected

Teos:
my friend is 30 + and his parents were his sponsor and he used their bank statement and he's in the UK.

Sorry to ask how has this happened?

finderokay:
Hello all, pls i have a qquestion. I have submitted my visa application but I am now changing my PoF (it was in my father's bank/name, something came up and we had to move it to my own). So now that i am waitng for another 28dys, the bank that i typed in my application is different frm the one I am now using. Will this be a problem? If it is, is there anything I can still do now?

A neater and tidier arrangement is to please request that your parents transfers the required POF to your account so you don't have to worry about the name arrangements. Do your parents have any challenges with this? An affidavit should cover this no need to get a new birth certificate.

Justplaying:

I’m applying as an adult
It’s not a self sponsored application, my sponsors name on my birth certificate appears with just First & last name while on the account used for SOA & POF It appears with First, Middle & last

What do you suggest I do in this case?
Get a new birth certificate or I do an affidavit?

Thanks

So your enquiry suggests that your new passport will obviously have a new passport number and likely your new surname?

If yes, later this month is already here, you may wish to wait except you have other technical reasons for asking.

misskit:
Hello house,
Can i go ahead and apply to schools with my old and expired passport that carries my maiden name pending the collection of my new passport later this month?

No you are not ruined and definitely not doomed!

First Level checks conducted at the decision center should hopefully flag this and then the request for you to send this follows. fingers crossed on both hands.

As much as this somehow skipped you, I don't think it should have also skipped the staff that attended to you at the TLS center. Especially because you paid for an assisted service. where is the value then in the assisted service?

I am not sure the ask is that the frontline officers there be immigration experts but the barest minimum should be that they have their own checklist where they ensure that mandatory documents such as Bank Statements and TB Test results should be included in every student visa submission.

on a lighter mode your vocabulary "ruined" and "doomed" suggests that you may like period dramas maybe you could watch some of them to take your mind of it while trusting for the best possible outcome on your application.

Once again fingers crossed on both hands!

SaintOpzy:
My God, of all the things that could've happened to me...

I went to Tls vi yesterday for my appointment, paid for assisted service and all, and not until I got home did I remember that we didn't upload my TB test

I had the results and the copies but it wasn't on the checklist so It just skipped my mind in the stress and all...

Am I in soup or they'll send a NsF mail to that regard?

Or what do I do? I can't lose all that effort, money and time pls


dduchess90, justwise

I believe the emboldened statement speaks to the references i have already made as per different institutions and entry requirements.

However in this instance, when we compare apples to apples, the enquirer i believe has mentioned that their undergrad transcript is available hence the request to prioritize this document.

widesmile:
Nothing is cast on stone, I have a Master degree in computer science and a BSc in computer science, I have my master transcript but didn't have my BSc transcript, the agent insisted I get my BSC transcript and that would cost me time and money I went ahead and searched for schools myself, the 2 school I choose gave me an unconditional offer and edge it on my Masters degree. All I did was proof why I decided to narrow down to Machine learning and Artificial Intelligence[/b]. Although I submitted my BSc certificate but none of them asked me for the BSc transcript

Are you applying as a child or an adult? please clarify. Parents as sponsors and birth certificate to prove relationship is only relevant documentation when you are applying as a child.

Justplaying:
Good day all,
Please I have an issue with my application
My sponsors name on my birth certificate Carries First & last name while on SOA it Carries First Middle & Last name, I was told to go get a new birth certificate to correct this from NPC, can an affidavit stand in place of this to clear the discrepancy stated in documents tendered?

I’ll need your advise thanks
@duchess90 @offwego

Point of correction please. there is a guidance for a reason. Please do not encourage people not to follow laid down rules. There are extenuating circumstances which require that additional support documentation or substitute documentation is provided where the required documents are not available and with good reason. The ECO exercises their discretion at this point to accept as satisfactory or otherwise.

independent freestyling as a norm you are suggesting below could ultimately be very costly.

jum33:

When proving partner’s relationships, nothing is cast in stone ,infact UkVi no even send marriage like that ,what you just need to prove is evidence of living together as partner and not necessarily as a married couple self .
So in summary,nothing is compulsory, jst prove your own case as your own peculiar circumstances dictate and be open and truthfull about it .

Well, if you do not have a 3rd class degree and are using the Masters as a support documentation to show that you have sort to better yourself, or highlight extraordinary achievement(passed with a distinction) am not sure how much leverage if any the Masters will give you in the decision making process. but then, this depends on the entry requirements for the programme and the institution. Your Undergrad transcript is the most relevant so please prioritize this. the Masters is secondary.

korexh:


Thanks so much
So if the masters degree is related to the new course,
I should use the masters transcript alone
Or both the bsc and the master's

Yes this is fine

Landlord2020:
Thank you very much for this. Please can I mail you? I will like you to help proofread before I submit.
Thanks once again.
