In that case she has to prove that she has made care-arrangement for her kids and with of her husband's consent.
Exactly my point

justwise: That is not true, her husband is traveling with them, so she does not need to present a letter from the husband because he is going with them
Yes na its still d same, d husband applied same time with them meaning she has someone 2 leave d child with when she's busy and take not 4rm d call dah was made. If her husband didn't apply with her or given his consent do Ʊ think she would av been given visa?

penfold: @justwise,
Just an update, and maybe this might help someone, especially the person whose children were not given a Visa.
Concerning the question I asked about a pregnant Tier 4 applicant, Well, She stated in her application that she was pregnant, and her husband applied with her (he changed his mind after much persuasion). She was phoned from the British High Commission after the 9th day or thereabouts and she was asked her course details, and also asked to confirm how much she had paid for tuiton. Then she was asked how many weeks pregnant she was, and how she intended to cope with academics and pregnancy. They also asked if she was aware that they would not grant her baby (when the baby is born) permission to stay in the UK unless she can prove that her husband was with her in the UK, in addition to the funds for maintenance that would be required (and I think this is very strange and unusual by the way) she answered all their questions. Well, both she and her husband were granted the visa and they came into the UK this morning.
So one should just be as truthful as possible when applying for entry clearance in addition to reading all their guidelines and complying with them.
Wao! Dis is a great testimony and a lesson learnt + experience gained.

Now it is obvious n crystal clear dat whether married or single parent, Ʊ can't travel with ur child (even unborn) 2d UK without the husband's permission.

Learning is a continuous process...I can bet some travel agents dnt av such experience sef. Bigups 2 NL n everyoda person in dis room no regrets ever joining #kuods!

Atlantis85: I just felt it important to add this bit for first-timers especially:

Uk is different from nigeria in the sense that no one is really looking at you or cares if you're lost or anything except you ask. You could be dancing on your head and no one would look too hard at you. Lol.

So in the absence of NL or maybe you suddenly realize you need directions you didn't remember to ask on here, don't be shy to ask at any help desk you see and/or look out for signs, maps etc. This are legible and placed conspicuously.

All the best!

So what would be the best advice for her?
Do you think she should just focus on her studies for a year...i.e leave her baby with the father,bearing in mind justwise's prior comments on d cost of raising a kid in UK without a regular income(since she cant work)
ok, i av a scenario bou d dependant ish. This lady got her visa n travelled without her 6months baby, after few weeks in the UK she couldnt concentrate again, she requested dat her elder sis who is coming to visit her own husband to help her bring the baby, she wrote to UK embassy on dis effect.My people, the baby was denied for bou 5reasons 1. the father's consent wasnt indicated 2. d baby would be given 6months being her 1st time, who will bring her back home when her visa expires 3. the ECO z he's nt convinced enof dat she (the mother) has enof funds to takia of the baby dats all i can rmba 4 nw sha.

[quote author=Charles. E]If one's school is resuming 25th September and the CAS says 25th. But then the person later gets a two weeks extension letter from the school, just before applying for Visa.

When filling the form, if you put 24th September in the section of the form (vide attached pic), does it mean anything? Considering that you have attached an extension letter with your application which supposedly implies that you would not be able to meet up the initial resumption date of 25th. Or should a much later date after 25th be put?[/quote]Applying for 2weeks extension means Ʊ cant meet up with d resumption date Ʊ were given so its better 2 write a date much later dan 25th to justify ur 2weeks extension bt dats in my own opinion let's hear 4rm odas...

adebee16: I deposited d money on 11/07 datz y I decided to print from 12/07.12/07 dint appear @ all.it was juz opening balance wt no date.den d next date was 13/07 cuz I made a pos transaction.although d opening balance is obviously different from the balance on 13th wc shows its on a different date,m still bothered dat it dint indicated d exact date.looks lk watz below:

Opening balance. .......

13/07/2012 point of sale transaction. .......

D opening balance wasn't dated
12/07 wunt reflect cus dia was no transaction on dat day, even if Ʊ instruct d computer 2 print 4rm dat day it will start 4rm d day of d nxt transaction after dat day so its advised u do a transaction on d acct on 07/08, do anoda one on 08/08 and print.

steph7: I use first bank and for my visa reasons I paid in money into my account , after I got an alert I asked for the bank statement and it reflected the payment I made, so you don't have to wait till closing.
Dats usually d practise, customers walk in 2d bank, make a transaction on dia acct, request 4 immediate posting and d statement 2b printed.
If Ʊ print ur statement after making a transaction in d morning Ʊ can b sure dat d balance will be d closing balance 4dat day provided Ʊ didn't make any oda transaction after printing and charges are nt debited 4rm same acct.
Travel › Re: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered Part2 by omopapa: 5:43am On Aug 25, 2012
Donxavier: I dunno and am not a banking expert. Maybe people with banking experience can weigh in. It's not about reflecting immediately if you make a transaction, it's about the closing balance. Isn't it supposed to be at the close of the day as regards a bank statement? Am not talking about an ATM print out. How will they print a bank statement 9am on Tuesday Morning and it will include all of tuesday's transactions when Tuesday hasn't ended yet? Is the little transaction you made 8.30 am the same Tuesday the closing balance for Tuesday?
There must be a reason why it is generally said to make the transaction a day before you print.
I understand ur view. I used ATM as an example of wah could be done on d acct nt atm print out. After making a transaction and Ʊ generate d statement within a particular period e.g August 1-28, d system will state both d opening balance of d 1st day Aug 1 n THE LAST BALANCE in the acct after d transaction on the day its printed either Aug 28 or 29 will reflect as the closing balance. Most acct statement printouts come with summary of the opening balance, closing balance, btw when n when d statement was printed. I'm vry sure of this.
Travel › Re: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered Part2 by omopapa: 12:24am On Aug 25, 2012
Donxavier: Let him do it(the transaction) a day before he intends to print because the transaction won't reflect on the balance until the close of the day. What am saying is if he goes to the bank on say Tuesday morning to print and he does the transaction that tuesday, when he prints the bank statement it will only show transactions to the close of the day for Monday. Tuesday hasn't ended yet, as such the transaction he makes that day won't reflect until the next day.
That's d old system of banking most banks are nw running on latest softwares and I can tell Ʊ dat wen Ʊ make a transaction on ur acct, it would reflect immediately provided d ntwk is gud.So if Ʊ wanna print ur statement and use it same day its advise Ʊ make use of ur ATM card cus its faster. Do a transaction as low as 100 (probably recharge ur fone) bt nt up 2what will affect ur balance, Ʊ can as well withdraw cash 4rm d ATM n pay same amount in2 ur acct immediately b4 printing.
On the other hand , staying till d nxt day b4 printing isn't a bad idea

Donxavier: Sorry if I came across as harsh. It's just that we need to give out the proper info regarding all questions asked.

If the school needed his Transcripts, Neco, Waec and the likes they would have Expressly stated it on his CAS. There is no need to try to help the school or the ECO by providing more documents than asked.

It's a simple process. 30 points for having a valid CAS and showing the documents listed there. 10 points for having the required amount in fees and maintenance money.

No need to add more than necessary. No need to feel more safe. Just meet the requirements. There is no way he would have problems doing exactly what he is
required to do.
Its all gud bro, d bottom line is SUCCESS! 1 love!

Donxavier: You are the one guiding wrongly. He only needs to show what is listed on his CAS. This is like the umpteenth time this is being said on this forum. You are only required to show what is listed on your CAS.
I didn't acuse anyone of misguidance so y acuse me? To solve dis I think he shld call his sch rep and ask 'em 4 further clarification.

When I got my CAS I thought of same thing (dat my O'level isn't necessary) bt my sch rep told me I shldd include it dat d statement on the CAS is justifyin y I dnt need TOEFL n odas.

Remember I said academic transcript 'IF' he's using statement of rresult n nt certificate BUT if he has d certificate den he's gud 2go.

About the presentation of WAEC or NECO, since he's goin 4 MSc and previous degree was in English language its nt dat necessary bt jes 2b on d safe side n as a proof dat he has written and passed English language as a subject in a recognised exam body.

All these were explained and advised by my sch rep cus our case is similar
