My friend and her husband and 3kids just landed this morning. They paid 3715pounds and yes she used her student visa likewise the dependants. The airlines are just moving mad but yes students have resident rights and can travel.

That Quarantine money ehhhh. What someone can use as rent money for like 6 months!

epurepu:


It’s just a misconception here. You don’t have a residence status until you arrive UK, then obtain it. Just having student visa does not automatically grant you UK residence while in Nigeria.

However, if you were studying there and came back to Nigeria to do one or two things, and this restriction was announced, then you can travel back on the basis of your residence status as a student.

I hope I clearly explained this.

Pls stop spreading false information

Phayie:
Pls can student and dependant travel with the restriction. Because I was supposed to travel yesterday but BA said I can't board if I'm not a citizen and do not possess green card. Please is there anyone that travel yesterday or will be traveling soon. This mata don taya me

The Airline is not well informed. You should be able to travel with your student visa as you have residency status. If you have to refer them to UKVI website, do so.

ibk5891:
Do u feel consent letter is necessary since u, ur husband are applying together with the kids.

I tort consent letter is necessary when one of the spouse is already in UK or not applying at the same time with the kids.

I shared my own documents. I can’t tell you what you should add or not to your application. Have a great day

Hello everyone, please is there any negative effect of printing my Bank statement today I mean dated today when I already submitted my visa application yesterday??
POF from 29th Oct to 26th Nov.
Visa application submitted on the 25th Nov.

Please will it negatively affect my application? Because I am not sure if there is any rule that says a Bank statement must be printed before an application is submitted. what I mean by printed is the date explained above.

Please help anyone!

@justwise ??

It would have been best to submit on the same day you printed your statement which is 25th. Others can share their thoughts on it but I think you have 2 options-

1. Print your statement from 28th Oct - 25th Nov and upload

2. Maybe cancel and reapply

Tolvin:
Kindly resend please. I can't find it

Hi Hi. Pls I want to send you an email

Pls who did Priority at TLS Ikeja 17th Nov? Have you gotten a response

Visa Alert!!!

Guys! God has indeed answered my prayers. Yesterday I said that I will get my collection mail today and indeed it happened. My story is this -

I had 2 Canada visa refusals, I was so confident that I would get the last one, that I took my study leave from work, meaning I practically resigned and started classes online which I did for 2weeks before the second refusal letter came from Canada.

Devastated does not even describe how I felt late September. I had spent my whole year chasing this study dream.

Long story short, I got a job offer Nov 1st, it’s fully remote and the pay is times 2 of what I was previously getting and now I have my Uk visa. The God of the 11th hour indeed showed up for me. My timeline is below:

School - York St John University
Conditional offer - Sept 29th
Unconditional - Oct 27th
CAS issuance - Nov 15th
Visa Application(Priority) - Nov 15th
Biometrics - Nov 16th
No NSF mail
Collection mail - Nov 24th
Passport picked up - Nov 24th

I give all glory to God and I thank the good people of Nairaland. You guys are simply amazing, I go through this thread everyday to get information and this was how I packaged my application and I met great friends here too along the way.

May we all get our heart desires and have our prayers answered. Amen

Congratulations!!! so happy for you, I read your post here yesterday

RetiredAdult:
Has anyone used bank statement gotten from GTBANK App and it was accepted?

Yes I did. You can download your statement via internet banking it is already signed and stamped. Not via the app, download via internet banking on a desktop.

ibk5891:
Got to IOM Ikeja today around 10am (my appointment was for 2pm).

As am typing this now, it's 8.04pm and am on the Que for x-ray (d last stage).

TB test is a whole days job oh! The center closed yesterday around 12am in d midnight.

No joke!

Oh wow! That’s crazy, pele

TomisinFemi:
I booked my TB test appointment this morning to Abuja but I made a mistake choosing Male as gender instead of Female. Please how can I correct it or if I leave it and go for my test like that would it not be an issue?

Don’t worry, you would be asked to confirm all your details again when you go for your appointment. You can change it at that point

bolagabriella:
Just thought to drop this. Maintenance fee increased.

That’s the same amount on page 1

Chisom09:
Please Helpooo

My POF bank account is frozen because of a big sum of money that entered before I started counting.. at the moment I cant even print pof beacuse the account is frozen.. please how do I go about this.. I'm just exhausted..hope this is not a problem?

It’s best you liaise with your account officer and visit the bank to provide proper explanation on how you got the huge lodgment in your account. The banks flag these things especially when it’s a savings account and you don’t do such volumes. Once you provide a proper explanation the restriction would be lifter

scobyy2007:
noted!

Hello, pls I’d like to send you an e-mail. Thank you

Kunleop:


Bro.. Make it 4.1m to be in a safer side..

Good luck

Please if I have 36,000dollars for POF would the Visa officer covert it to naira or pounds

Im asking this cos it has more value as pounds than naira using Oanda. Please shed some light. Thank you

baerz:

Zenith bank is requesting for all these..

Thomas18:
I had same issue but I sent an email to thier abuja office and the booked a date for me same day.

I’m in Lagos though, I don’t know if I should still send to their Abuja office for Lagos booking

Please what is the fastest way to reach IOM to book for medicals. No close dates on their portal! All their phone lines are NOT manned and they do not respond to their e-mails. It is very frustrating. Pls help anyone

Queenzy421:

Please any advice would be welcome. Thank you

Download TEF study materials here

They are mostly grammar and vocabulary books but I found the alter ego books especially helpful.
Most of the materials here are from DelPiero at canada visa

You are a gem. Pls can I be your friend

I applied for Dropbox for my son. And he was invited for interview today. The VO drilled down on my payments and receipt. She explained that for every receipt there should be an itemized bill because if you show a receipt payment for say $100, how would they know your bill was not $150 and you only paid $100 and received a receipt for just that amount you paid.

I used HNWMC for my last childbirth trip and I explained that I signed an agreement with the hospital stating that I would not be issued an itemized bill. She took it and made a copy.

She looked through all my receipts for my two birthing trips and kept typing and updating, she asked for clarifications in between.

She then asked to see my bank statement, which I gave her but refused to see my T-bills investment letter which had the bulk of all my savings.

She then said to me that I should always ask for a bill and THEN receipt for every medical treatment recieved - Dr, Hosp, per, lab etc. she stated that doesn’t have a problem with me having my births abroad but that I don’t have enough ties which is why she is refusing my son’s visa. That he rides on me to be eligible and I am not eligible (irony of life, considering I still have a valid visa). In all fairness, she looked sympathetic and took her time to update all my payment records on the system, Which she told me she had done.

She said that I can always reapply for my son but to wait for 6months and that was that.

Truth is that I kept an open mind about the interview. I think the VOs have a mandate to deny as many visas as possible. So many people I met had the same outcome and even people that have gone for interviews in recent time.

lionhead6969:
Good day All, I will be flying with my 36weeks pregnant wife to Houston in a week time. Am still thinking which airline to use. I read Air France has neither restriction nor doctors fit to fly letter. Delta airline has no restriction but what do they mean by ticket change fees and penalty are not waived for pregnancy? Which is best to fly at 37weeks?

Why so late? Pls don't let your wife deliver on the plane. It’s not just about the airline but also her wellbeing! Anyway, Delta and KLM does not ask for fit to fly. For the bolded, I believe it means that they won’t change the ticket for free or waive any penalties just because pregnancy is involved. So any modification to your ticket would come at a cost regardless of your pregnancy.

Cretaceous:
Ladies and Gents, please advise:

KLM or British Airways?

Which is better for a pregnant woman?

I’ve not flown BA but I had a very good experience with KLM. No fit to fly needed and infant ticket was cheap. I paid about N40,000 in their Nigeria office through my hubby. I heard BA charges a lot to add infant ticket

Ebony84:
I've used KLM with my baby twice and checked in one 23kg suitcase for her both times. I personally prefer KLM.

Hmm. How did you do that? KLM is 10kg for infant

Biodun1234:
Please what is needed to notorise a document at US embassy in Lagos.

You need to book the appointment online. Then your hubby is to appear at the embassy with his original Passport and photocopy of his biodata page. He should also take the form to be notarized, preferably printed in color format. It’s free

freshdad:
In fact, this issue has blown so big I just wonder why we are who we are. The report says they (Canadian immigration) receive close to 250 person(mostly Nigerians) a day at the Quebec border and fear it would rise to 400 in the summer.

Nigerians are coming up with all sorts of stories to seek asylum in Canada and the land in New York and the next thing is they are at the border.

This now perhaps explains the refusals lately.

Na wa oo. Now I see why Twoods always sees us Nigerians as fraudulent people
