FraudMan:
Individuals who already have permission as a dependant of a Student who is applying on this route can also apply to extend their permission as a dependant – however new dependants are not permitted on this route.


https://homeofficemedia.blog.gov.uk/2019/10/14/fact-sheet-graduate-immigration-route/
What this means is that people can continue to apply to be dependent of a student. It is only an already existing dependent of student that can apply to this Graduate immigration route. No new dependants will be allowed to apply who weren't previously a dependant of a Student.

My understanding according to the English used. Correct me if I'm wrong.

if you want or intend for your wife to bear the same surname with you, now may be the best time to do that name change, as you are yet to get a passport. It may save you a lot of hassles in the future. [quote author=olaide88 post=99594856]

These are softball questions that any genuine student should answer easily else you don't deserve a visa.

The question is..what do you plan to do with your certificate after graduation? So my question to you is...are you going to apply to settle in the UK with your certification after graduation?

Think of things you can do with your certificate after graduation...jobs, starting a business, going for more studies?
Your stance on this issue is really not clear.

What @ OmamedeRex was postulating was that one should not let the visa officers think that one intends to remain in the UK after studies. This is clearly a requirement when applying for Canadian study visa for example, even though majority of those who get Canada study permit go on to become permanent residents. Otherwise, one's study permit application will be refused.

Now, for the UK, will it be best for your application to indicate you have no intention to remain in the UK after studies or not?
And @HYFR007, this has NOTHING WHATSOEVER to do with being a genuine student or not. Because the funds to study is completely available, and there's every intention to focus and complete the study.

Are you asked if you want to settle in the UK? Tell me a question that will lead to such answer.
What if one is asked such question as:
1. What are your plans after your studies.
2. What do you intend to do after you finish your course?
3. How will this course benefit your future aspirations?
4. How do your studies fit into your career plans?
Etc
Pls note that these are sample interview questions provided by two different schools.

So how best can one answer such questions in order not to jeopardize one's visa chances?

Don't post misleading and outright lies here again.

And for anybody going for an interview don't do what this poster has written for your interest.
pls explain why you say that those are outright lies. Should we go ahead to let the interviewer feel we intend to explore settling in the UK?

VISA ALERT!!!
God Almighty has done it.

Application submitted – 02/02/2021
Priority payment and appointment date selection – 04/02/2021
Biometrics – 05/02/2021 (TLS VI)
Got a not straightforward mail on 11/02/2021
Got an interview request mail on 16/02/2021 to take place on 18/02/2021
Interviewer called 4mins before time advised. The interview, from what I have been reading on this thread, seems to be the shortest because it lasted for just 13mins 10secs.
Then the anxiety began, I will refresh the tracker like 10times an hour every day.
Got another not straightforward message on 19/02/2021. Hmmmmm, my heartbeat increased.
When anxiety no let me rest, I called UKVI on Wednesday 24/02/2021 and was told decision has not been made yet.
Then on Friday 26/02/2021, during my regular tracker refreshing, I saw application transferred to VAC @10:54am (Screenshot it immediately…as if they will reverse it…LOL). Decision and collection mail came in 11:19am.
DHL delivered on 01/03/2021 with my Visa smiling at me. Visa has been issued since 24th Feb.
1 UK visit visa refusal declared.
What God cannot do does not exist!!!
For all those waiting for your VISA, it will surely come.
This thread is loaded with wonderful people, I have learnt a lot from questions and answers provided, I have got help for TB date swap, I have silently and dutifully followed Part 4 and 5 page by page and all I can say is WELL DONE everyone.
congratulations.

No matter the kind of relationship that exists between the embassy and the banker, banks have an obligation to keep secrecy about theirs customers’ accounts. But, occasionally, the banker has to disclose the information related to their customers’ accounts when:

1. It is required by law
2. It has a public duty to
3. To protect own interests or,
4. If a customer agrees.

So I think we all have to read the terms and conditions on the application we want to submit to be sure the number 4 point (customer consent) is not applicable.
Exactly, that's what my spouse said. If we agreed to ukvi accessing some info on our account as we apply for visa, (this agreement is usually on those terms and conditions and privacy policies that we most often never read) then the bank may not be able to tell them no if they come asking for such details.

Please can someone please help and respond, ukvi is asking for additional documents to process my dependents visa(2 kids of three) the last and my spouse submitted with me and we've gotten visas .The problem is that they are asking for our original stamped passports to be submitted to Vac office, and im already in the UK while the others are in Nigeria.What could be their reasons and what can I do now...
There's nothing to worry about here. If you want them to have the visa, why don't you courier your passport to your husband and let him submit with his and your last baby's. Alternatively, you may write ukvi to let them know you are already in the UK, asking for an alternative to sending your own passport.

You submit your online application to UKVI. TLS is just a middleman who helps UKVI with biometric registrations of applicants and help with applicants' documents uploads.
Thank you for your response. However, I still need to know, is date for biometrics automatically assigned or does one get to choose which date to go?

I beg how much is Keystone for FormA and their commission?
For those asking for bank to process Form A, you may want to consider KEYSTONE BANK.

I applied on a Friday and the school received payment the next Thursday.

I can't tell exactly how much their exchange rate is, but they debited #1,147,216 for £2015. I know there must have been transfer charges and all that included in the debit cos I received just the one debit.

Morning all. For those who submitted TB test form already, on section 4 & 5,wot do you have to fill. For an applicant whose financial support is family but living maintenance on his/her personal account, wot is advisable to tick for section 5.
Lastly, which 9ja bank at present is good to process formA, rate, roughly bank charges/commission on formA.
Thanks
1. Put the school's address, if you don't have any other address in the UK. That's what we did.
2. If the money /statement is in your account, then you are sponsoring yourself.

VISA VISA VISA!!!

I don't know where to start but these last 42 days have been something else for me but I thank God the end of it is sweet.

Submission - 10th December
(28 day count started on 7th December. This was the primary cause of my sleepless nights when people told me I should have waited for the 28 days to be complete before submitting, that it's automatic refusal. Some even asked me to cancel the application and start again. This was difficult for a family of 5 so we prayed about it and moved on - God answers prayers o)

Biometrics- 7th January (standard)
Now the long wait began.

Non straightforward mail - 25th January (12th working day)
Like play like play, it reached 29 working days. No mail, nothing. Hmm!

Decision confirmation mail - 15th February
After several mails and back and forth with UKVI

Collection mail - 17th February

Collection - 18th February
All 5 of us got our visas

I appreciate everyone here especially @lagosismyhome @mimilyrics @sandradee @wakandaprincess

Thank you all.

For those waiting like I did, you will all get yours too. Its a matter of time.

How come your biometrics was done nearly a month after submission. Did you choose the date yourself?

Advice needed pls.
1st- My husband is the main applicant. Me and two kids are his dependants. We are thinking of applying March 16 for September start date. We were wondering whether our application may raise negative questions if we pay for priority considering the adequate time. But we are concerned about the wait.

2nd - my husband graduated a long time ago since 2001. But he has masters from Worldquant university - online, 2020. Should he add the masters degree certificate in his visa application to show recent study or will the gap 2001 - 2021 not raise any negative signals?

I'll appreciate your answers.

Good day house. Thank you for all the insight and info given. This forum is really wonderful. I have a few questions pls:

1. Can I apply for visa at the same time with my spouse and 2 kids or will the chances for my family be better after I've gotten my own visa?

2. Must I write IELTS for admission or even visa? How else can I show English requirements.

3. Can we apply for visa in December or January for September program start date?

4. What is the UK govt website to get all the info for applying for the study visa.

I'm new here and we want to apply without the use of any agents.

Pls gurus in the house, I need your replies. Thanks
