What of those that have answered YES
What is the implication?
I do not know, but as long as they provided all information on their CAS and meet the financial requirements, they will surely qualify for the Visa

Evening house
Asap yes or no??
[b]The answer to this question is NO [/b]if you've never applied to the UK for Schooling before and also NO if you applied before but did not submit any form of result that shows your proficiency in English which might be IELTS, WAEC, NECO and it's likes.
And when you answer NO, A question is coming at the front that will still tell them if you require proof that your English is good in writing, speaking and reading, which most times will be seen as your sponsor saying in your cas that your English language ability was assessed by them and that you're a gifted student.

I’m back again, please this time, I beg you all in God’s name to answer me. Please it’s very urgent

Does it matter if the two accounts being used for POF are new domiciliary accounts. £ and $ accounts.

Please help me answer this question
How old account are doesn't matter to UKVI as they will not be asking the bank if it's a new account, if they do verification, it will be about authenticity of POF and balance

Good day everyone
Tickets are currently expensive in August and cheap precisely for me at September 30, can I book for September with flexible date option and readjust my departure date to somewhere in August?
Is it possible?

Might not be a bad idea, but shine ya eye well o, having a partner and being a dependant is a good way to go, but if you're not ready to be married yet and you just wanna get married to enable you become a dependant, man, marriage is not as easy as it seem o, at this point, I will say, ask God for directions and best way to go

thanks for your reply..i mean can i travel first and my spouse join me later even when she has her visa already?
yes boss, people get Visa and choose to travel wen they like for reasons best known to them, provide you travel within the date on your vignette, if you want to travel on a date outside your vignette, you need to pay money for another vignette

Glamorouspat1:
Please why are people opening new account for POF. Is that you cannot use your old account
I think most of them don't want to use their existing bank either because of the bank's inability to provide prompt response to UKVI during verification process or the bank's statement of account doesn't look presentable, may be even for personal reasons best known to them

Thanks for your response. My POF has already been in my account since to meet the 28day requirement.

Good evening house. I am new here. I have 2 questions

1. I am applying for one of my children however, his passport reads Christopher as his middle name but his birth certificate is shortened as Chris (due to space on the paper). Could this be an issue please.
2. Also I opened a new account for POF. I hope that is okay


I would appreciate a response
You can either swear affidavit for reconciliation of names or better still get him another birth certificate from NPC

The age of the account doesn't matter, na the money wen dey inside for 28days Nia mata, but don't collect reference letter for this account, because most bank will state since when you started banking with them

MrRomanticLover:
Hello people. trust you are good. I just got an unconditional offer but I have not yet paid deposit and my tb test is 4th of August and I have to be in UK by 12th of september. Can I still make it with all these issues about booking for appointment and the likes or should I just defer to January? thanks for your response.
Man, you have plenty of time to make it if you have the POF readily available, if you haven't started your 28days POF counting, start now, after your TB test on 4th, your next deal is Biometric appointment for which walk in at either ikeja or VI will get you close date, I will suggest ikeja if you're looking to manage your funds, because with VI, you will pay for using the centre and also pay for the walk in, that's double expenses, then the appointment proper, choose priority service if you will be starting your 28 days count now, because at the end of 28 days will be around August 20, so if you do priority and add say 8 days to 20, by God's grace you will be getting your Visa around say August 29 or 30

Hi guys, good morning. I discovered that the waybill number written on my collection paper is 9 digits instead of 10. So I have no means of tracking my passport. What can I do please?
Let's assume it's the last digit that's missing, try from 0-9, one should work

I used my national ID card because my passport was with the passport office for renewal process. They gave me the certificate with my national ID.
Although I printed a copy of my passport to them but didn’t go with the physical hard copy.

If you are unable to reach them , just fill her birth Cert number in the passport number space .. if her passport is ready before the test , you are allowed to change it . That’s what I did
from your post, is it possible to do TB test with Birth certificate number in the case of unavailability of passport for now? And has anyone successfully done it?

All thanks to God who showed himself merciful and made all my fears groundless.
He literally made everything seamless and my fears about Oanda rising inordinately did not come to pass.

After 3 years of Canada waka, on 445 till the crs go up and refuse to go down lol. Ielts sef will expire next month. I don learn French sef, na to write Tef remain.
Several master applications to 4 universities in Canada ( and dey chop my application fee lol) no admission. Finally as the last school said No in April, my eye clear lol, I decided to face UK.
And UK don land.

Thank you to everyone on this space, some of who I emailed with one or two questions, everyone who supports us here one way or the other, everyone who posts and answers questions, I appreciate all of you .
We will all celebrate. For everyone waiting, I can't wait to celebrate with you all too.
