Ray7878:


Nope she didn’t need to, once you have put it in and it was valid at the time then you are safe. Ours expired on the 22nd of April. The same question that you ask was how I found this forum.

Ray7878:
Okay so, not going to bore you with how it started but a few things to add to everything.

We got married in September in Abeokuta 2021. And I came back to the UK early October.

(1) She did change of name and applied for her passport (Got that at Festac?) sorry not good with names/places in Nigeria.

(2) TB appt was booked for 26th of October after going directly there, and paid one of the staff to book her because we just couldn’t get anything online.

(3) Passport came out on the 25th of October after she begged and begged the staffs.

(4) When he booked the TB we needed her passport number but because she didn’t have one I called my mother and put HER passport number in the bookings, because without a passport they wouldn’t allow you to book it. And thanks to GOD they didn’t notice this. So when she received her passport she just stay over in Lagos and took it to the TB place the next day.

(5) Booked for her English test for 3rd of December (Result came out on the 17th online as passed) - Awaiting certificate.

(6) Application processed by myself over here in the UK
- Documents
A. My UK passport, UK drivers licence, my NHS work contract, my previous job contract (Both showing how much I earn per annum), my house deed, my mortgage statement, my divorce papers, my payslips, my Halifax statement of account (I highlight every single money that was paid by my employers in yellow, which matches each dated payslips) all these covering a 2 years period (Because I moved jobs in September and was paid more than my period job).

B. She provided her passport, TB certificate, and English language test result, Wedding certificate, pictures of when we met in early 2019 and wedding pictures, WhatsApp chat taken from archives from early 2019 up until the application date.

(7) Booked Biometrics for the 11th of Jan 2021

( Biometrics missed because we didn’t have the certificate. TLS refused to complete this without the actual certificate, DLH left her certificate on their desk in Abeokuta from the 17th of December until she made a complaint in Lagos when she went there on the day that TLS refused the biometrics.

(9) DLH delivered the next day after 1000 apologies to her for missing her bio.

(10) Bio rebooked for the 28th of Jan AFTER paying some guy that was standing around outside TLS as the TLS staff were unhelpful.

(11) Biometrics done of the 28th of Jan.
(12) Transferred to DMC on the same day and received - 3 greens on the tracker.
(13) Paid email sent in end of Feb by me, was told decision would be early Mid March by a staff named Tanya.
(14) 15th of March second paid email - Told by a staff called Simon that no decision yet. But since ours was settlement it is usually 12 weeks (Which means end of April)
(15) Wife received an email 11th of May to say “60WD is now 120WD” due to the Ukrainian crisis.
(16) Next day I filed a complaint via gov.Uk (The link I found it on this forum).
(17) Tracking everyday but nothing - 3 green lines.
(18) 26th of May - Email received from TLS for collection.
(19) Wife picked up her “Partner visa” to expired Feb 2025.
(20) Received an email from the complaint side saying they have contacted my wife.

I think this was the timeline that I can remember right now. Prior to this I or my wife knew NOTHING about immigration/visas or how to do an application. I found this forum AFTER we put in our application. But this forum has been very helpful and it has been an eye opener.

I highlighted everything that I uploaded on the TLS document website, and they kept her passport. Hopefully she would be here in the next 2 months when she has sort out everything in Ijebu ode where she currently resides.

Julianstical:
Please how did you get your family registration certificate

phadexzhi01:

Thank you very much.
By family, I mean my Aunt (who by the way doesn't bear my surname), so I didn't mention her in my application.
She is offering to come pick me up at the airport and let me observe the 14 day self isolation at hers.

Bashybabe2020:


Please how do I get to stirling from London

chiwelaw:
Please am trying to book a flight for a family and the airline is billing a child of 2years and 2months to pay same fare as adults. What do you think, any guide for me or there is no way I can make them to adjust?

Bashybabe2020:
Hello house are we allowed to visit Nigeria or anywhere when we are on breaks and how much is extra luggage allowance for Turkish airline ?

Bashybabe2020:


Planning to use them next week I don’t even know

Sis please can we Quarantine anywhere in uk and I’m stopping over istanbul for a few days hope nothing spoil ? My resumption is still on 12th of October

TheGuyFromHR:


Airlines use dynamic pricing.
Multiple views feeds into that. The more you look, the more you are likely to pay.

justwise:


There is nothing to phrase here just state it as its. Ban and ineligibility are not the same, maybe you are talking about inadmissible.

Do you have/know anybody in the UK? The answer is Yes.

gracedforever:

Okay. Please are you saying a flight from London to Newcastle is just about 56k, that's 93 pounds or so. That seems quite cheap cos I heard train from London to Newcastle could be up to 100 pounds.

JustCare:


Free the guy, he want to be right all the time.

justwise:


That maybe true but those discounted tickets are also available on airline websites if you know what you are doing. Generally nothing you get from agent that will be cheaper than the original source worldwide

gracedforever:


Good morning. Please I want to confirm, did your friend use wakanow? Thought it's only available for London and Newyork?

ZabethMay:
Also, any idea on how much it costs if your luggage exceeds the required kg. Emirates allows two 23kg bags. What if each bag exceeds 23kg, any idea how much the overweight would cost?

utaraji2:
Please house I have an urgent questions.

I have managed to get my agent/sponsor into agreeing to convert my application from standard to priority.

My agent just called (through my sponsor) that if he proceeds that the original interview date will change and I may be giving a date in December.

I would like to think that this is not the case.

I had to send him the step that @mamacajah posted yesterday since he wont give me access to the application platform.

Please for those that have done it, is it through that the original interview date might change to a date in the future?

Please it is kind of urgent, my sponsor is waiting for me to confirm if I want to go through with it or not? I just want to be double sure.

Sorry if my question sound like no brainer but given my current circumstance I can't help but to ask and be double sure.

Infact once I get a feedback I will forward it to him.

Thanks for swift response.

Southhost:


Thank you so much so to understand in order for someone with Nigerian licence you drive in the U.K. for one year , they would need to be added to an insured car as a second person on an insurance. Thank you

Also I have worked as an administrative assistant.

Agitude17:
Long post alert Pls gurus in the house , have been a silent reader and I have really learnt a lot
. Pls for some with 2US visit visa refusal(family) The first refusal was based on my husband who was the primary applicant made a mistake on his form so he was not allowed in I had to go in with our son alone for the interview, I didn’t have all the answers to the questions asked so I was denied but we reapplied 2months later and we were given. The second refusal is that I had my second baby in the US went to renew and they denied US based on discounted bill (in which we paid all our hospital bills in full) but the VO said the money paid is less than the cost of hospital bill in in new jersey we paid $8000 in total but the VO said we should have paid $15000 and this was in 2016.
A ban from Canada resulting from not informing the Canadian government about the refusal ( we used an agent honest truth we didn’t know he filled NO instead of Yes cos we actually told him we have bin denied but I think he mistake us for another client (though na the matter we still Dey settle )we trusted him enough to deliver because he did for our friend and it was successful no reason to doubt him though we take full responsibility we should have verified b4 submitting big mistake. So now my Question is will any school be willing to sponsor me already with a ban. want to apply for a MSc program in the Uk going alone without my family . Pls which University will be willing to sponsor Me pls I need answers urgently pls @mimilyrics @justwise and other gurus in the house pls help

SegunWamiri:
PLEASE... HELP. DENIAL OF CAS
@justwise, @mimilyrics, @ANYONE

Good evening All, I have been on silent mode for quite a while now. That is because I have been engaged in some kind of tussle with my school - Liverpool Hope University but I think it's hightime I presented my case here.

The school has refused to issue my CAS after discovering that I have 3 previous visa refusals (US Visit, Canada study and Australia visit) after my first UK master's degree. This information was requested ONLY after I have fulfilled all the conditions - Tuition deposit, DBS disclosure/Nigerian Police Character Certificate, completing an Online health questionnaire, copy of valid passport that came with my offer on April 15th, 2020 and then it's time to issue CAS and they are messing up.

My angle of argument is that if they knew that past visa refusals is a concern for them, they should have asked me about it early enough in the admission process. As a matter of fact, they shouldn't have made me an offer in the first place. Why is it just coming up? Meanwhile, I didn't take my interview with Derby serious because I felt that I already have a SURE admission with Liverpool Hope.

Here is a quote from their email to me:

"It was noted that you completed an RQF Level 7 MSc in Management at the University of Hertfordshire in 2013 and that the MA Social Work course that you have applied for is also an RQF Level 7 qualification. When assigning a CAS to an applicant for a course at the same academic level as a previously completed UK qualification, we need to justify the reasoning for this. Having reviewed your personal statement the Panel felt that this was not adequately explained in your application. Furthermore, as you already have 3 visa refusals from other countries, any future visa application is likely to be scrutinized more closely, and it is felt that your credibility as a genuine student may be questioned."

Apart from looking for another school and possibly prepare for January/February 2021, what else can I do? Although I have been in touch with the Pro VC whom signed my admission letter in the first place, presenting all evidences and documents that the school had led me on this far, she is yet to give a positive response.

NB: The £5,700 tuition/YR for international applicants was my source of attraction/motivation. Therefore, I honestly don't know where I can start gathering more than that from at this period.

Passsegun:
Good evening to the gurus in the house.

I have my visa interview on Wednesday but the house address used during my application is no longer available.

I have seen another however and am willing to pay tomorrow to secure it.

I feel I would be asked about where I plan to stay during my study program.


So, do I stick with the one in my visa application or finalize the new one?

Hope using changed address would not be to my disadvantage as well?

Thanks.
