I think you need to wait for your wife’s decision in order to know the next step.
It’s either she has been refused again or the VO treated your file based on her last refusal.
However, if her visa is approved, it means you can go for administrative review.

Hello
Please kindly assist as I and my wife applied for student visa while I applied as a dependent same application but I got a mail of refusal stating and I quote Reasons for Decision
Your application has been refused for the following reason(s):
You have applied as a dependent of a person holding a Student Route visa in the UK however, it is noted that your sponsor’s visa application has been refused. As such you do not meet the requirement as set out in paragraph 31.1 of Appendix ST of the Immigration Rules:
ST 31.1. Unless they are a child who meets the requirements in ST 31.2, the applicant must be the partner or child of a person who is:
[a] a Student who has received an award from a Government or international sponsorship agency and has, or is applying for, permission to study on a full time course of 6 months or longer; or
[b] a full time Student who has, or is applying for, permission to study a postgraduate level course of 9 months or longer at a higher education provider with a track record of compliance; or
[c] a Student who has permission on the Doctorate Extension Scheme; or [d] a Student who has, or had within the last 3 months before the date of application, permission to study on a full time course of 6 months or longer, and is now applying for permission to study a full time course of 6 months or longer where either:
(i) the partner or child already has, or had within the last 3 months before the date of application, permission as a dependant partner or dependant child of the Student; or
(ii) the child was born since the last grant of permission to the Student, where the Student and partner or child are applying at the same time.
Therefore your application is refused under Paragraph ST31.1 of the Immigration Rules.

We met all the criteria and submitted all the necessary documents but what baffles me is that my wife being the main applicant has not gotten any email whatsoever

Note that she got refused in June so we are confused as to why I am refused the visa even though my wife decision is not yet ready

VISA ALERT! Long post o

Good morning everyone, been quite busy to pen this down.

Biometrics- july 8(standard) for me and 2 dependants
1st not straightforward mail- july 20th for myself
1st not straightforward mail- july 26th- dependants
2nd not straightforward for 3 of us- August 3rd
3rd not straightforward for myself- August 4th

Then i got a call from the Home office without notification asking if i can go on with an interview, i said yes but call dropped. I was sent a mail 35mins later scheduling me for 9th of August, 2pm. 9th came they didn’t call. Around 3:52, i saw uk missed call on my ALTERNATIVE LINE wch I tried to call back but kept bouncing back.

I sent series of paid mails and called the call centre but all responses were, you will be contacted.

Then i got another call on Friday asking if i am ok to go on with the interview, another yes and this lasted for 1hr 34mins because i gave them full/plenty points on questions asked.

By 18th of August i called and told its still awaiting a decision. I told the lady that its past 15 working days i did biometrics and i want it escalated, i told the person the type of visa i did.

20th, I received a mail from pretoria saying i was under mandatory checks and its still processing.

24th of August my dependants collection mail came wch I collected the following day.
25th, past 5pm mine entered wch I collected on friday.

I declared 4 uk visits refusal, 1 uk visits for myself
3 uk visits refusal for my dependants also.

It took them 32working days before returning my passport with visa. I was really worried, i fasted alot, praised alot(all with a sincere heart o) still prayed to God to give me a strong heart if it will be a refusal but I GIVE HIM ALL THE GLORY COS IT ENDED IN PRAISE.

I left Naija through Qatar Airways on Sunday 29th,(ticket was booked on Thursday after I collected my dependants visa) and on getting to uk border, the C.O asked, who are these beside you, i told him my daughters(1 was almost my height), asked name of my sch,course, duration, and if i have visited before and if i had any immigration problem in the past, I answered all. i was told to step asidewith my dependants for more investigation to be made. I was scared but I kept my calmness, gave my daughter my phone to send msg to her father(he stays in the UK), my sister and my pastor should incase anything comes up. I didn’t press my phone at all. And within 30mins i was released to go.

ONLY GOD’S MERCY!!!

Our visa processes differs, if there is any mistake you might have made and no how to correct it, speak to God, where one can’t reach, HIS MERCY AND FAVOUR will get there.

God will see everyone through. Aamen.

Wow!!!

Congratulations!!

Not advisable. You may likely get refused. Tell your husband to apply for phd programs after finishing his current program, then you can apply as dependent.

House please can I use Access?

You can use any bank. Only those that have used access can advise on their rate. I used Gtb, at a rate of 573 per pounds. I was debited extra 6000 naira later for VAT and commission.

Yes sort out the TB wahala before commencing visa application

Vecharry:

Omalichaah:

What i can say is….though its not compulsory you initiate a transaction but you know, the pple we are dealing with, e get as e be with them. A N100 recharge card should have been done within or you put small amount from another account and the following week transfer it back. Some C.Os wont or might not count well. But that money must not drop below what you need o

Hello Guys. I'm in need of urgent help. Trying to book visa appointment at Ikeja TLS (priority visa), but no dates are showing. Any suggestions on how to circumnavigate will be highly appreciated. Thank you

@justwise please I need your advise on this. We have paid deposit for school 5k pounds and the balance we need for my husband and I is 13.3m using the oanda currency exchange they use during visa process. so our closing balance is 14.8m. we have about 1.6m extra
Some one said the closing balance is small for two people. That we should have like 17m. Please advise on the fund. Thank you
