Hello,
It wont have any negative impact.
Just declare all refusals and be truthful in your application.
Thank you.

Hello house,

For someone who have been denied a US student visa. What impact will this have on UK study visa. I am about to start UK process.

And how do you proof of available funds to cover your studies (PoF) required for the visa application process?

bastardson:
Please guyz, asides Sheffield Hallam, are there other schools that requires low deposits before CAS.. Reason is that I will prefer selling assets to raise funds after Visa, rather than do so before..

This depends on the situation. I know for single parents who want to travel with their under-18 child(ren) but not with the child(ren)'s other parent, you will need a death certificate, sole custody order or any other legal document that shows that the child(ren)'s other parent isn't in the picture anymore.
Thank you.

Jum1:
Hi, please can i send u an email? Got a nsf mail requesting for a court doc as a parent travelling without the kids dad. Please if u can spare me 1 min since u had similar experience i saw on previius thread. I will be very grateful.

I have more than enough on my Bamboo / T212 account (Stocks) and Binance (Crypto).. Even though the market is low now, so selling now means I will sell when market is down.. I can easily raise funds from my family to show POF.. The funds is not the problem, just that selling now make no sense..

Boss please how does this walk in work, i applied and got a Biometrics for 27th of july in Tls VI, shebi i can just go there tomorrow and just pay for the walk in and i will get my stuff done?

Boss, i plan to go there tomorrow too for walk-in, i also got 27th of july for TLS VI. Here’s my WhatsApp number so we can chat- 08130272697

Oanda rate is not black market. Make Una small
Small abeg. I used 530 and it never went above 515 during the 30 days.
I would say 550 is okay
Some people even use 700 due to fluctuations lol
Anyway if you have so much unlike me you can even use 1000.

AlphaUno:
550 is a very good rate to use at this time, but you know the market is unpredictable

Kemisola0206:
When u go der to book for appointment, they will give a paper for confirmation of ur test date, in the paper d account number to pay to is der, u pay before the day of test

thank you. I have made the payment yesterday. I will go there to get a date tomorrow. How long does it take the result to be out?

Gloriyah:
That’s because the fees are paid in dollars, so the amount varies when it’s converted from pounds to dollars.
Visa fee in pounds is £363 for main applicant and £490 dependant.
IHS depends on the number of years of your course but one year is £705.

When you start your visa application and get to the stage for IHS the amount you’re to pay would be shown in dollars.

I think MA and dependant now pay thesame visa fee or am I missing something ?

Hello Guys,
The DOB on my waec Certificate is different from that on my intl passport.

Please what do I use to explain this discrepancy?

Hello,

At my visa appointment today, I accidentally wrote the date 03/06/2022 instead of 03/07/2022 everywhere (checklist, money receipts). After reviewing my application, the person who was handling it wrote the same thing.

I just wanted to make sure—this isn't a big deal, right? As in, there's nothing to worry about, right?

ItunDee:
Hello, yes Huddersfield has started issuing out CAS. I have gotten mine

When did you make payment ?

20th of last month bro. They ve confirmed the school fees and sent out receipts.

When did you pay and when did you get your cas ?

Hello Everyone! I'm in a tight corner now and I need urgent answer pls .

I am filling my visa Application form online and I'm already on the portal of paying for IHS. I've tried Metro Bank(UK) card but it declined 3 times. The person sent me another card details but he said he will be available to attend to me around 8pm today. Pls if I should exit my browser now, can I get back in there without it altering my application and how do I get back in there?

Hi, it's completely okay to exit. Your application won't change. A link will be sent to your email. You can use that link to enter anytime and you can start from where you left it.

ooh I get it now ...nice one!

Are you directing this to me or the person that asked ?
Because that’s the figure he came up with and I responded accordingly. I couldn’t have asked him to reduce it knowing that the market is unpredictable. So, do you!

Yes you can but prepare 42k for that. Good luck

saint1990:
Please can you copy and paste it here?

Hmmm

AlphaUno:
A very big and loud CONGRATULATIONS going out to those who just got their visas.
Living in the UK is another kettle of fish but with adequate preparation (no matter how small), you will quickly adapt
- You need a smart phone. It’s somehow cheaper to fix (if faulty or get a new one) all your gadgets n devices in 9ja b4 leaving for the UK
- Familiarise yourself to maps on your phone.You can’t move around without a guide (map), unless you ve relatives or friends who are ready to be doing that
- Read up on my earlier post quoted above for to-do

To those still expectant, it shall surely come. Try and do your due diligence and your passport will be stamped.
The UK has many different visa routes and this only signifies they have opened up their space to qualified individuals - just make yourself qualified in any category you wish to use and you good to get a visa.

@Saint1990 and others, here you go

@saint1990 and others, here it is

AlphaUno:
If you are coming in into the UK, especially as a student or a dependent, you need to get these ASAP in your first days of entering to give you some sort of soft landing

BRP
NIN (National Insurance Number)
Bank Account
Proof of Address (Accommodation)

These four above will ease your life greatly in your first few days / weeks. Meanwhile, getting no.4 is not for the faint hearted especially for a family.


1. BRP is already waiting for you in your chosen location (post office or school)

2. NI you apply online via the almighty gov . uk site with your BRP n other docs (it takes weeks 1-16 max to be issued the number and very easy steps to navigate)

3. Bank account : thank God for online banks, those old generation banks (HSBC,Lloyds, RBS etc) will ask you to bring your ancestral land allocation form from God
Nevertheless, you still need them big time in your journey of life in d UK.
So, to cross this hurdle use this MONZO referral link below for now and when you get settled big time, you go for the old gen banks

https://join.monzo.com/c/v95pvrl

(You get £5 for signing up thru it when you make card payment within 30 days of opening the account)

4. Accommodation start browsing these sites
Rightmove
Gumtree
Zoopla
Open rent (you interact with property owners directly but beware of scammers fronting as landlords)
Facebook market etc (beware of scammers)
Word of mouth
Friends and family connect

You can get your accommodation sorted right while still in 9ja. I know some who did thru a known agent.
Meanwhile, You might need the following if eventually you get a letting agent or a landlord who is ready to rent a property to you.
- a UK based guarantor (a citizen or homeowner or both)
- a deposit fee (just like refundable caution fee for 9ja)
- an holding fee (to get the property off market; refundable)
- a month rent

NOTE If these sites don’t give you what you want, then have your minimum of 6 months rent ready

Opportunities abound but Chinese, Indians and others are taking over.

Prepare and plan adequately

I think MA and dependant now pay thesame visa fee or am I missing something ?

I don’t think so anymore. Some people with dependents paid more.

KillBill2:
My daughter applied yesterday and was able to get Friday 8th July for her biometrics in Abuja. I recall Thursday and Friday were still available. Were you unable to get a date for next week? Just wondering why you are considering walk-in.

Not at all o. I haven't applied but I'm getting ready to do so. I recently applied for visitors visa at Ikeja TFS and the wahala no be here even with walk-in. That's what I'm thinking that once I get my ATAS and CAS I would like to select VI or Abuja for the student visa to make things easy

Gloriyah:

As at yesterday morning, visa fee and IHS fee for MA and dependant are the same in USD (464 and 900.31).

For a woman who has already been divorced from the husband and has been granted custody of the children, what else will she need to put on board for a students visa application to the UK? She wants to take the children with her.

I paid 900.31USD for IHS and 464USD visa fees for MA and dependant yesterday.

I think it differs. My friend is the MA n already in UK. She paid higher Visa fees for her family . With another person that was going with her family at once, i noticed she paid same fees with her kids but hubbys was higher.

Alert!!!!! Alert !!!!

I just got an email from VAC that a decision is ready to be made on my passport. I am currently out of the country, so I paid for passport pass back; meaning I went back to get my passport during application progression, so I could travel with it. I was told when a decision is ready, i would be emailed to bring back my passport.

Now, I did not get email from UKVI itself, I do not know maybe it because today is Sunday, non working day. Anyway, my anxiety is how am I to know if My visa was approved or refused.

Hello..

If it was refused you get an email on that

If none, then congratulations

Cheers.

Yes,I paid the same amount yesterday for MA and dependants.
