Hello

Screenshots of emails and jobs is not enough evidence

PoS statement of account is irrelevant

Your Smedan certificate is okay, although I don't know if that replaces. CAC registration documents

You need to get proper references from the previous companies you have worked for, fulltime or freelance


Cheers

Good evening sirs & Ma, Please I just filled out my form and on getting to the IHS payment, I was shown a zero dollar ($0) to pay. As I clicked the continue tab, I got the IHS reference number which was automatically updated in my application. Now, my application has been moved to the next page where I have to pay for a Visa application.

1. Please, Is it advisable to proceed with the Visa application payment or do I need to cancel the entire application since I wasn't made to pay for IHS?

2. Should I proceed with the visa application payment, would I be able to pay for the IHS later time at TLS center?

Please if you've had similar experience, let me know how you resolve it. Thank you.

Pls gurus in the house… @duchess and everyone pls.

My brother applied for a study visa and has since gone since February. So he decided to bring in his wife and kid after settling down. They were both the dependent when he applied.
So due to passport issue, the wife did her application first and then got her visa since 3rd of July, but had to wait because of their son.
So when his son’s passport was ready, he had to pay for a date for his appointment at TLs Abuja and he successfully did his biometric on the 26th of July.
Till today, they haven’t gotten any email. Now they’re really worried because he doesn’t want to leave his son behind. Also, he thinks him already there and his wife having a valid visa should help with their son’s processing/application but nothing yet. Please what can be done or they shouldn’t have to worry about anything as both of them have a valid visa?

He paid for standard and not priority.

Dear Gurus,
Please my application has moved to application transferred to VAC but no nsf, no collection mail either. Thank you

manneger2:
check your tracker online, my own just moved to Vac just now

Datakey:

When did you do biometrics? And was it priority?

gthots:
I will let the experts respond, but I do not think a naira card works; I recommend you use a dollar card.

VISA ALERT!!


I am so grateful for this thread. I don't even know how to process my gratitude.

Specially, I'll like to say thanks to @duchess90
I don't know who you are but you are such a special soul. Your selflessness is unmatched. You answered every single one of my questions very clearly and this visa success is because of you. I don't know you but I love you and I wish you all the best in life. Everything you have sowed, you will reap in million folds. Amen.

I'll also like to thank every single member here for your questions that gave me new perspectives and also for the answers you provide that helped me to understand things better.

MA was initially in september 2023 batch, then we felt we needed more time and so we deferred admission to January 2024. When we heard the news about the no dependant rule from January 2024, we moved back to September 2023 batch. we are so grateful the school (University of Hull) was very prompt with our requests.

I pray that everyone seeking visa on this thread will testify and also have a visa alert to share. Amen.

What if you use a naira account with a huge opening balance and they is no transaction made for 28 days. Second question do uk visa office contact the bank to confirm if they was or is money in the bank
