Please help,

My husband is the MA, we did our TB test on Wednesday at IOM, mine was ok but they said they would have to conduct another test on him (sputum test) because they saw something in his chest. Note: he has never had any symptom of TB. They said the result will be out in 10weeks.

He tried to book appointment with other centers and the closest date he got for St. Nicholas was August 24th, meanwhile the deadline for his school (Ulster) is 18th August. What is the way out?

Should he gate crash the hospital maybe he can get another test done before that date?
Who has a contact at St. Nicholas that can help?
I'm just worried because this Sept is the deadline for bringing dependents.

Thanks in anticipation for your response.

1) I will advise you to wait for the test to come out. He should email the school and let them know about his situation. His health is more important than anything. The school’s enrollment deadline is around October, so hopefully the result will be negative. And then you can use super priority.
2) Try another hospital

Superex:
Good day, since it's been over 3 weeks now. I've approached the bank to find out if they've been sent a verification mail and they are asking for the email the UKVI enquiry will be coming from?

Anyone knows about this?

@duchess90

Is the bank new in Nigeria?

Ajjy:
Hello gurus in the house, I need your help on how to go about this.

The money for my Pof is in my account and was sent by my father cos he’s my sponsor. How do I proof this while submitting my documents to the Ukvi. Will a consent letter from him solve the issue?

Leave the money in your account for 28 days. You don’t need to prove anything

sovicangel:
Pls people is it compulsory to make transactions with POF account. I’m too scared to remove a naira from it because of the fluctuating rate. Someone said I need to do daily debut and credit. Pls help

It doesn’t make sense if you say it’s your account and you don’t make transactions on it. Transactions on the account will prove that the funds are yours and they are accessible to you. You can’t just submit an empty POF running on naira account, except it’s another currency

Clinton12345:
Got exact mail, only mine is 2018, any update ?

Did you submit any reference from work?

archdon:

Blessingjohn123:
Since you’ll be there for the next 2 years you don’t need to move anything to Nigeria
You are not on visit visa.
Do whatever you want to do there

Okay, Thanks a lot

Please I need a clear advice on this. I’m on a student visa in the UK and my fiancé is about to file for me. Should she put UK embassy or Nigeria embassy? I will be here for the next 2yrs. Must I come back to Nigeria? This has been the reason why she hasn’t submitted the application. We met in March this year in Nigeria but now, I’m no longer in Nigeria.
Any idea the best thing to do?

Yaya88:
No, I didn't! I have a 10-year study gap. I haven't worked, I took a couple of certification courses and ran a business, I included my CAC and Business bank statement showing transactions covering a couple of years .

I think you should write and explain everything you have been doing after graduation.

Babamonsura:
Good morning house. Please, I am trying to book a tb appointment for someone and I have checked the IOM website for UK as country of destination but can't find it. What I am seeing is Australia, Canada, New Zealand and United States.
My question are does IOM don't attend to UK applications anymore?
As it's said on the website that it's 150 dollars, what will the price be in naira?

Use https://appointmentnigeria.iom.int

duchess90:
Hello

I don't understand the question about POF counting?

You should have met the minimum 28days criteria before submitting the financial documents to your Uni

2. There are approved TB test centres

Here's a link to them

Cheers

It depends on the school. My school asked me to send my POF even if it’s not mature yet and they asked in the form to put the date it will mature and it was accepted for my Pre-CAS interview, then they will ask for it again afterwards, when it is mature. So he should find out what the school wants

Yaya88:
Please how long did it take you to get a decision? I submitted my application on 17 May, did my BM on 19 May, received NSF ON 23 May, received a request for additional documents explaining the study gap on 24 May. I sent a study gap letter on the 29th and was asked to attend an interview on the 2nd of June. Did my interview and 5 weeks later, still awaiting a decision. I have done 4 paid mails, 2 escalations and still waiting. This is the 8th week !

Did you submit reference letter from work initially? And how much study gap do you have?

Joyjames008:
Gd eve everyone,
Please I need quick response
My hubby (MA) has 45 million in his account we wanted to use as POF for family of 4, but we had a change of plan becos my TB certificate is not out yet so he wants to remove 20 million from the money so we add money to it for us(dependants), please will the removal of 20 million affects the SOA for UKvi, will they ask him why remove 20 million from the account despite he still meet his financial requirements for the 28days rule.
@duchess90

why not avoid being questioned by counting 28days again after the withdrawal?

pinkgelato:
No. I restarted counting the 28days again after i topped up the money and paid for Visa and IHS.

You should have applied for the visa like on the 29th day, since you topped up the money. It’s risky because they will check whatever you have on your POF and compare with the oanda rate for that day to see if you meet the requirements

solaiphones:
this false info. As long as the lump sum did not sure on your SOA no one will question you

so how will the lump sum not show when he applied for visa immediately after he restarted counting 28 days on his POF?

pinkgelato:
I had slightly over the amount required with the exchange rate on the 26th. With the volatility of the rates, it seemed like it was finally decreasing that's why i paid then as i was unsure if it would get to N1500. I hope this would not present any problem.

Get ready to explain where the money you paid in came from and the reason for that. Remember that everything will show on your POF. Make sure you prepare your response with evidence incase they request that.

pinkgelato:
Hi everyone.
Please, i need some clarification. I have gotten admission, gotten my CAS from my school, done my TB test as well. I was building my POF, and halfway through, the naira devaluation happened, so i had to restart the 28 days count. I started counting my POF from the 27th of June, but i submitted my application (paid visa fee and IHS) on the 26th.. I hope i am on track.. or have i made a mistake? I am quite confused by the 28 days rule.
Please let me know if am on track, or if i should withdraw my application and restart a new application.

The exchange rate that will be used for you will be the rate on the day you applied. If you haven’t completed 28days on your POF then you made a mistake

Egocen:
Please help me

First, we got a Health surcharge refund and now visa denied


I will appreciate how best to do this administrative review if anyone can assist.

Mind you, there is three times the required amount in the account.


So this student visa refusal is very confusing

Did you get the bank statement from the bank directly? Was it signed and stamped?

OMG and I’m using FirstBank for my POF😭 What am I going to do now?

dammywapes:
House please come to my aid i need help this is the second time i will be rejected. Which uni in uk can take me with this cgpa ? Pls someone should respond.

It depends on the course you are applying

Jeanos:
Move your money o, someone I know got refusal becos first bank didn't respond to UKVI

This can’t be true.

Oladepo812:
Please I need a response on this.
Thanks.

Pay off your entire tuition and mail your school to update your CAS. If the money of your POF won’t still be enough, open a domiciliary account and put some pounds in it.

Begsup:
Work-wise? None. As my consultant told me that it is not a requirement to show/prove your employment status but appears they’d like to know what have you been doing all these years which I totally understand. Other than that, I submitted my degree certificate, transcript, proof of language, CAS, offer letter, scholarship letter, bank statement, dependant-related documents etc.

No issues, just get a reference letter that has a RC number on it, signed and stamped. I believe it will show that you have been working from the time you finished your NYSC till date. Also send your NYSC certificate too. Goodluck.

atesun:
Please I have 2 questions

1. Main Applicant finish school in 2020, does she need to explain study gap even thou she wasn't working since after school?


2. Please does dependant need to show study gap details as well finish undergraduate in 2012?

She must have done her NYSC after school, right? Let her just show her NYSC certificate, that’s not too much gap

Begsup:
Hi Nairalanders!

I applied for a study visa (for postgraduate degree) 2 days ago and today I received an email requiring additional documents about my activities/my study gap since my graduation in 2014. I have been thinking about adding my social insurance documents (from the governmental body, so it’s possible to verify) showing my full-time employment for the past years. However, I worked as a full-time employee but also as a freelancer, on an off basis during this time. So, about the freelancing part, I’m thinking about adding some invoices/purchase orders etc to prove my earnings and writing a statement explaining my employment situation and activities. Do you think that would be enough for granting the visa and resolving any concerns they might have about my situation? Other than that all my documents are well-prepared.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and insights about this. Thank you!

What documents did you submit before?

dukeofmilan19:
Hey guys, please is there a website where I can purchase WAEC pin and Serial number? My school needs it to verify my WAEC result

Use jumiapay, it’s super fast and cheaper

Josmila:
Hello yomifola duchess90,

Thanks for all you do here.

Is it possible for the MA to go ahead and process his visa this September due to pausity of funds, and then bring in dependants in say March 2024? Will the new policy affect dependants please?

Looking forward to your feedback.

Note that you have 3months from the time your visa is issued to be in the Uk.

genkins:
Goodday pls I would appreciate responses from the eggheads here.

I am the dependant.i did pof in a commercial bank 20m for me and my wife but now it isn't enough.can I add my investment with a microfinance bank to top up to 30m?

Anything Microfinance bank is not acceptable

SylvieBret:
Hi everyone,

I have an urgent question please. The price to be paid to IOM is #57,800 or 150USD. I'll appreciate a quick.answer to this please.

Thank you

Any of them. N57,800 is cheaper

Fredayo:
Good evening my people
Please I need clarification on an issue
I went for my bio metrics yesterday and i got an email stating that

“Please provide the origin of the deposit from account number ending in ****8055:

2,920,000.00 deposited dated 29/04/23.“

The last four digits is the last four digit of my access bank account number that I dropped for my proof of fund. So I am confused.

Please I need clarification
Please what does this mean?

You didn’t wait up till 28days after your last huge deposit, which appears on your statement of account. That was a silly mistake. You have to get a receipt of that transaction from the person that paid the money and explain what it was meant for.

can2na:
@dduchess, @mimilyrics and the pros

Please I need your advice on this specific case!!

If the application interval between MA and dependants is going to be about one month, which below option would you advised?

1. Should I top up the dependants funds in the same account the MA used for his POF and then count 28days after which the dependants can apply? (The MA funds is still intact)

Or

2. Should I use a separate account for the dependants POF and then submit it together with the MA POF account ?

Both options are fine. Anyone you do is okay but I would choose the 2nd option

johnwegs:
Senior man this is her first time of trying it out she wants to come to Nigeria and she is using the immigration site I got here she has uploaded everything and it’s remaining that 160 dollars fee which immigration people want if she puts her USA number it Keeps telling her invalid number

She can pay for it on her interview day. Let her just fill the form and go with required documents. Tell her to call them to schedule an appointment, don’t use the online appointment form because it will waste her time. Yes, she can make the payment their with POS. She (your fiancé) should just call them first.
