Good morning to everyone, pls I need More clarifications on my sister and her family skilled worker Visa application,

She already got Her COS and intends to travel with her hubby and the kid's same day becos maintainance was ticked by her sponsor, she's about applying for their Visa's,

The major question is regarding her children's birth certificate, she has all of her children's birth certificate from The hospital with accurate date of birth and the accurate date when the certificate was issued that same month becos she always collect her children's birth certificate latest two week's after delivery,

When she wanted to do her children's passport around November 2022, The Nigerian immigration services Said that NIN is now compulsory and the children's birth certificate is needed from NPC and not from the hospital they were delivered, they have to go and get The kid's birth certificate from NPC but the Major challenge is this, the NPC office wrote their dates and year of birth correctly but wrote date of issuance same Day they went there instead of the date of issuance in their original birth certificate from the hospital they were Born,

Right now,we heared that UK embassy only accepts birth certificate from NPC, that's national population commission, my question now is this,

1. I Hope the date of issuance Which bore year 2022 from NPC will not complicate things for Her and her family becos they have approached NPC office and they Said they can't back-date the date of issuance to the Year The kid's were Born, some of the kid's were Born in 2010, 2012, etc,

2. Pls can she attach her children's birth certificate from The hospital they were born with the One from NPC since the date of issuance from NPC is only showing year 2022 for all her kids but remember, everything about their date and Year of birth is correct both from the hospital and NPC, the only issue is date of issuance,

Finally pls those that has travelled with their kid's can Also shade More light on This,

I'm greatful for This platform, waiting patiently for responses.

There is a high probability that they will question it. All you need to do is submit the hospital-issued birth certificate with the late-registered NPC birth certificate and then back it up with a letter.

Explain in your letter that the hospital birth certificate was issued immediately after the child was born and that you applied for the late-registered NPC birth certificate recently for official and birth registration purposes.

You can also mention in your letter that you were unaware until very recently that the NPC birth certificate is the only legally recognized birth certificate for official immigration transactions.

Note: This is just my personal opinion or the way I would treat the application if I were in your position. Do not rely completely on my opinion because I am not an expert on immigration and I am not a travel or visa agent.

Pls house,

Does UKVI always attach rejection letter to collection email if visa was refused?

Someone said that's what they have been doing in recent times.

For the rejections I’ve seen myself so far, it’s usually attached to the mail sent to the applicant especially for standard visitor applications. However, there might be exemptions.

Thank you �

First....U cannot recycle funds (recycle means u cannot use the funds an applicant has initially declared for their own upkeep as ur own unless its very much in excess to cover u both at the time it was initially used)...

Two ..what kinda visa is it and how much are u expected to have as POf...??
if its work visa..main applicant only needs 1270£ ...and one dependent does not need more than 300£ ..so even if u have like 3 children...ur 2.8M is already enough

Thank You for the response. Its a tier 4 Student Dependent VISA partner. I am required to provide 7605 pounds .During her application which was successful she was to proof 19006 pounds . The account she used had 22,214 pounds as at the oanda rate used then. The issue of recyled funds is what i am trying to remove by using the same period showing my own funds 2.8m and relying on the excess she has to push my application. I dont think recyled fund is my concern but the possibility of using 2 accounts one from me and the others from the main applicant hence my question . i intend submitting exact duration for both statement to negate the recycled funds possibility.PLease note the account in question is stil valid as the closing date on the balance was 28th December 2022. She got her VISA on the 11th of January . I intend submitting application on the 20th

I got a refusal letter last week and have been waiting for passport pickup email from TLS ever since. Is it advisable for me to go their office without receiving this email?

I know they sometimes fail to send the email even when the passport is ready for collection.

Please I need clarification about the TLS a added service

Can I use the keep my passport and express courier service together ?

In a situation my application is approved how do I send my passport to them from Warri ?

Keep My Passport

 ”Enjoy the peace of mind of keeping your passport with you while you’re waiting for a visa decision. “

And the

EXPRESS COURIER RETURN
“”Get your passport returned more quickly to you by courier, directly from the vignette office, and avoid unnecessary travel and crowds””

I am based in Warri and I don’t want to travel to lagos twice that’s why I intend to use the Express courier while for the keep my passport I need to drop it in the us embassy for renewal hence I can’t drop my passport in TLS

If you already have an appointment with the US embassy, I would suggest you get that sorted out first before thinking of applying for a UK visa.

Who received such email from ukvi
They're starting priority for dependent visa from 12th September for £570..visa will be processed within 15 days
That's a whole lot
I did biometric on 26th October.should I go for priority

Osaene:


Please note that his application was added to hers so any information needed is quoted using her reference number

Well, the onus is on them now to clear the mess and get their application approved.

Day by day, the uk embassy is getting smarter, so they always need clarity, as any slight inconsistency is tantamount to refusal.

Your friend and her boyfriend should’ve thought it through before making application, as there seems to be a higher scrutiny on unmarried couples than the married ones.

Better yet, them for kukuma do small court wedding to save this stress, even if Na fake wedding.

So u are saying an excess of 1.9M, apart from.of her actual POF, was in her account at the time of visa approval.... if yes...there is no harm in combining accounts...

Lets hope a wicked ECO will not assume its funds recycling ...i suggest u back it up with a cover note..... because we have seen cases where some ECO ddnt even bother to check an applicant combined two accounts and denied the apllication for insufficient funds based on one statement

They suspect new wedding that is done not too far from the time of the application and ask for proof of continous relationship... the good thing is they recognize civil partnership...certificate or no certificate as long as there is proof

Include wedding pictures, TB result, PCCtoo

What visa do I suppose to apply if I want to join my husband in UK?
Is it not dependent visa

For any correction concerning your NPC birthday cert, check my thread

AskGod07:

To be sincerely with you Nigeria doesn’t have database for Birth cert. what Eco want to confirm from NPC is the date of issued. I agreed that you have registered for one from NPC office before , but to be candy with you .Nigeria citizen can get birth cert as much as you want in Nigeria.

I remember when my wife changed birth cert of our kids due to different names she’s using on her credentials and passport, she went to local government of our new residential along with previous birth cert to issued new one correspondence with the previous issued date.

Nothing like NPC as documented and moved to Abuja, because Nigeria doesn’t have any data base for Citizen not to talk of birth cert.

Hello my people,

I am applying for a UK Visitors visa for the second time (First application was declined in 2019).

I'm planning to travel by the end of February and return by March. My passport will expire in MID-July this year 2023.

I just got captured for renewal at the passport office but the earliest the new passport can come out is in 2 weeks time.
.
Considering that passports may stay with UKVI for about a month, plus appointment time at TLS (roughly 5/6 weeks in total),

Is it advisable that i go ahead and apply with my old passport (it has less than six (6) months validity on it).

OR

Do i wait for the new passport to be ready before applying? (This will move my application date & travelling date forward by at least 2 weeks).

I would prefer the visa to be in my new passport, but time is a factor.

I need to enter a passport number to continue my application, every second counts.

My people, kindly advise. Thanks

I just discovered that I applied for wrong visa type
I have called them to withdraw it but they said it will take 15 working days and I can't apply for another one until it's withdrawn

u have lost visa feees.. chai why una dnt ask questions
This is the way I’ve been warning up and down..you are not a spouse of a citizen and therefore cannot be applying for spouse visa. Tier 2, Tier 4 are all temporary visas and so we should research before wasting money.
Do not go and cancel wrongly as well. Snap your application form .. the visa type will show so we can advise properly

I wanna apply for 2years visa on 1st feb using a 6months acct statement (from 1st Aug 2022 to 31st Jan 2023). I have 2 big withdrawals, one is 50k lesser and the other 50k greater than my salary in August and September 2022 respectively. They will make my monthly expenses higher in those 2 months.

I'm just wondering if i should apply using 4months acct statement (Oct 2022 to Jan 2023)with 6months payslips.
