If I may ask also, did it(employment letter) show your monthly pay or it doesn't contain your financial package at all?

No.

Omoboyeo:

Hello gurus in the house!
This morning, I noticed from my tracker that my application has been transferred to VAC. Instead of an email on decision made, it was DHL that messaged me for collection.
Please what could this mean?

Highly appreciated, thank you.

Cashmadam:



The Entry Clearance Officer
British High Commission
11 Walter Carrington Crescent
Victoria Island
Lagos
Nigeria

Thanks for your response.
Is it just to the British High Commissioner or in this format;

The British High Commissioner,
UK Visas and Immigration,
Lagos.

duchess90:
Hello

1. You mentioned you used the same account for your application so technically the current statement should also show your POF. If funds have been deducted towards tuition or living expense submit the invoice to account for the difference

2.For your dependants they need a consent letter from you. Cover letters help explain things better to the ECO if you think you need to then include one


3. Address it to the British High Commissioner


Cheers

Hello @Duchess90 and other gurus in the house. I have 24m in one of my accounts for POF (family of 4) and I have another 16m in another account which was not initially planned for POF. Due to the impact of fx, the 24m was no longer enough for all so I proceeded for my own visa. Now I want to use the two accounts for my dependants for their POF.
1)Do I need to also present my SOA to proof funds are not recycled?
2)Do I need to write a cover letter for using the two accounts?
3)For consent letter to use my statement of accounts, is it to be addressed to ECO, UKVI UK or ECO, UKVI Lagos?

Try The Consultants Practice in Ikoyi, you may have a slot that suits your time. I did mine there.

milliki:


I’m seeing mid of next month in the listed hospitals and that will be too far considering that my POF will mature on 7th of next month

Places outside London
Bal of sch fees= 10,600
Mtce rqmt(MA)= 9*1,023=9,207
Mtce rqmt(dependant)=9*680=6,120
Total= £25,927

But for London and its borough
Bal of sch fees= 10,600
Mtce rqmt(MA)= 9*1,334=12,006
Mtce rqmt(dependant)=9*845=7,605
Total=£30,211

cuzomba:
Hello everyone,

Please how much POF will I be needing for a husband and wife with a school fees balance of £10,600 and length of study is 13 months?

Please I need the break down…please.

What if the applicant chose NO and described that there is plan to get an accommodation close to the university? Will this suffice?

shawrygal:


Use your school address. No worries.

Thank you very much.

Cashmadam:


Ikeja is okay. Cheaper than VI anyway.

Please house kindly advice on this; which of the TLS contacts( VI or Ikeja) is advisable to use in terms of congestion and speed?

Thank you very much.

duchess90:
Hello

Employment and promotion letters are sufficient

Cheers

@duchess90, mimilyrics and other gurus in the house. Good morning to you all.

Pls, for study gap of 10yrs, I have employment and promotion letters, is reference letter still necessary?

Oladepo812:
Good morning fellow Nairalander(@duchess90, mimilyrics, justwise and other gurus)
Pls I need an urgent support on this as I'm about to apply for my visa.
I needed 21M for my POF for a family of 4 and I had 24M in my account which I started counting from June 2nd. By 16th of June, the money increased to 24.9M and later increased to 25.2M by 23rd of June.
While waiting for 28days, forex suddenly threw things off balance. As at last week, the 25.2M was just enough for me alone while this week, as the Naira appreciate, the fund is enough for my wife and me.
Now my question,

1) Can I still use this statement for the two of us or for me alone since the fund had dropped below requirements at some point though not by withdrawal but by forex fluctuation?

2) For study gap of 10yrs, I have employment and promotion letters, is reference letter still necessary?

Please I need a response on this.
Thanks.

No it isn't possible

Hello
@duchess90 and other gurus in the house. I need some clarification on this; I'm waiting for my POF to mature at the end of this month for a family of 4. But unfortunately the POF will only be enough for MA and one dependant as we speak due to the current oanda rate. So I want to apply for myself and my wife because of this situation.
Now my question is, I have an uncle who will like to stand as a sponsor for my 2 kids.
1) Is this possible?
2) if yes, how do I go about it?

You're very right! It's something we really need to acknowledge. Sometimes I keep wondering how easy it is for someone to give such imense selfless support to others at almost every hour of the day. We can not thank you enough, only God can reward you guys.
Thanks a million time.

Franzese:
@duchess90 mimilyrics and all the Gurus here.

I'll be very direct, let's give it to these guys.
They reply virtually every one's message here on a daily if not hourly bases.

From my inner most part I pray for all the guys that God will bless them immensely. I sincerely wish there was a reward mechanism here on nairaland.

If not for the complexity of the travel section I would have opened a fresh thread for this. Make one person no come Tiamiyu or Emtee the idea.

I also want to use this medium to encourage people with dependants back in Nigeria to keep the faith up and put across their applications ASAP. Visas are still being approved as I speak.

I'm a dependant and my journey with two kids was a nothing but miracle, from TB Test, to Visa application, to Biometrics, to Visa approval and then POE at Gatwick.

Biometrics Thursday, Empty NSF Friday, Passport pickup mail Tuesday. Visa was approved in 3 working days... It can only be God.

God will do yours too.

Also if there's anyone here around Portsmouth, Fraton, Isle of Wight or environs pls mention me let's discuss offline...

Thank you

Thanks so much for your selfless support.

duchess90:
Hello

Employement letter will suffice

For dependant documents have a look at the thread and see what others submitted

Make a list of what you think is applicable, we will add to your list if there's something missing

Cheers

Thanks @duchess90
For the evidence of my activities for study gap, can I use my resume or employment letter or both? Also, what do I need to present for my wife and kids?
Thanks.

duchess90:
Hello

All the documents listed in your CAS

Your TB certificate

Your evidence of maintenance

If you have a study gap of more than 5years please include evidence of your activities (whether you were employed or self employed)

If you also look back at the thread you will see people have previously posted their visa outcome and the documents they uploaded

Cheers

Hello to all the gurus on this platform!
Pls kindly help a brother. I've just received my CAS for Sept 2023 intake. Pls can someone help itemize all the requirements for visa application as I do not want to make any mistake?
Thank you.

INFORMATION TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN!!!
Good day to you everyone!
I've read on several occasions from this platform about people enquiring on the use of microfinance banks for POF. Regarding that, below is the warning message I received today from a sch that I applied to in the UK;

"Dear Applicant,

I hope this mail finds you well.

The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has recently just revoked the licenses of some microfinance banks, which means that the banks would discontinue their operations with immediate effect. Information on the affected microfinance banks can be found here(https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/600157-updated-cbn-revokes-licences-of-132-microfinance-banks-others-full-list.html)

In view of this, we strongly recommend that you make use of ONLY COMMERCIAL BANKS for your maintenance document (proof of funds).

If you have further clarification, kindly call any of the underlisted numbers... "

Congratulations to you, more success stories to share.

Hello everyone, please I need your candid advice on this.
I opted for a savings plan with African Alliance PLC which lasted for 2 years.
After 2 years of savings which ended in December 2022, they are yet to pay the money into my account(as we're currently in May). I have sent several emails putting NICOM in copy, still, nothing was done.
Please what legal action can I take to make them pay this money as they are not just bothered about it?

Can someone help me with this please?
