Please how does one know if a collection mail possibly signals refusal?

Does ukvi send refusal email to the applicant immediately alongside the collection email, or does ukvi send a hardcopy refusal letter in the parcel containing the passport to be picked up?

I got my son refusal email 24hours after collection mail. So it works both way sometimes

Hello guys please help

Please who is going to Glasgow Caledonian University. I want to be added to the WhatsApp group

If you've not been added, let me know so I can tell the admin to include you.

I need advise. My aunty has gotten an unconditional offer in Wolverhampton for September. She got the offer over a month ago. she requested for CAS today but Wolverhampton is telling her she is still in conditional stage and will also undergo a precas interview then apply for CAS. I guess they don't know she already has an unconditional offer. And I don't like the stress this school is putting her through. Please who is going to Wolverhampton this September, how did you do it??

Your Aunty should know that their deadline for CAS is September 1st 2023
has your Aunty paid a deposit of £5,500?? deposit deadline is August 25th 2023
If you Aunty has not done pre CAS interview she should contact the precas interview section through phone or email precas@wlv.ac.uk or call this number to book precas interview at microsoft teams asap ( +441902 322224)

The precas interview must be done before they will accept her deposit of £5,500. she should just disturb them with multiple emails and calls that is if her POF is already running and she has her £5,500 ready for the deposit in order to meet up with the September 25th start date
If she has not started running her POF by now, then she should just pray they might extend the deadline for CAS request.

The good part of wolverhampton University is that they issue CAS through your evision account in less than 1 hour, when you must have fulfilled all the conditions.

Good evening house. Pls how can I send a paid mail or make paid call?

She has paid her deposit and has printed her statement. They have even given her unconditional offer

Has she done preCAS interview,? if yes then she should just forward the mail to admissions and also tell the preCas department to reach the admissions so they update her CAS request icon on evsion

Hello

Here are my thoughts

Your divorce documents gives your child’s father rights, with that you still need his consent

The second document is unclear , I haven’t seen a court order written in a notice (but then again I am not a lawyer)

You could speak to a lawyer and confirm that you had submitted the right documents to win a review, especially the second one.please note additional documents will not be requested

If not reapply and include the consent letter from your child’s father simply because he has rights to access

Cheers,

@dduchess90

Hello @ dduchess90 thanks for the swift response

So I’ve uploaded the letter of sole custody and a page in my divorce/settlement papers that gives me full custody…

I proceeded to getting the sole custody of my daughter years after our divorce got finalized even though a page of our divorce/settlement papers states that I’ve got full custody of our child and my Ex would have access to her aswell based on what we both agree on…

List of other documents attached to her visa application;

* Birth certificate

* Her School fees receipts with my name as the payee

* Consent letter for POF (since the account is in my name)

* Bank statement that I used for mine aswell

* My CAS statement

* TB test result

* Home office consent letter

Thank you @dduchess90 for taking out time to respond to my questions…. May God continue to bless you…


So the crazy thing is I’d aswell initially gotten a letter of consent from my EX but the School/Visa agent in-charge of our Visa applications told me the letter of consent from my EX wasn’t needed since I’d already provided my divorce papers and the letter of sole custody. Who would have thought?

Also, seeing that an administrative review/ appeal might take as long as 6 months to get a decision made, re-applying all over again would seem better for the purpose of timeliness…

My only question now is could excluding the “letter of sole custody” and replacing it with the “consent letter” from my Ex adversely affect the intended re-application?

Just incase the above question wasn’t clear enough, should the consent letter from my EX be an addition to the earlier submitted “divorce papers” and “letter of sole custody” or should I exclude the “letter of sole custody” and just attach my divorce papers with the “consent letter” from my EX this time around for the re-application?


The attached document is the consent letter from EX…

Good morning @Duchess90

So after the first interview was cancelled reason being that both the MA and partner were ment to be interviewed concurrently.

So a new date was fixed and we had the interview.

The interview centered around our relationship span and if we have been living together. Then family members from both sides and both parents.

So immediately after the interview we got the email I attached here.

Does this mean it will stay 120days before they will answer us?

Has anyone gotten this type of email and received positive response from UKVI? And what’s the time frame?

Anybody with similar experience should contribute please.

Hi. Sorry about the stress. Where is the sole custody order pls? Expressly saying you are the sole parent of the child etc. There is nothing like sole custody letter.
This is affidavit you uploaded here. You need court documents stating expressly that you have been granted SOLE custody of the child. Not court affidavit that we do 1000 naira or letter written. The child will still be denied if this is not presented. Also make arrangements for their schooling and then reapply.
They will not circumvent the process.

Good morning.

I was asked to rescan my TB certificate after a week of my bio which was done on the 28th July.
I have not heard anything since then from the UKVI.

Do we have anyone with such similar experience to share

Good morning to everyone...Am going through some difficult time with IOM and I know am not the only one in this,I was able to book my TB test last week(9th of August) and I was scheduled for 14th August,I made transfer to the account rolled out by their customer care (Standard Chartered Bank) and message them with the Booking appointment confirmation message and payment receipt,till the booking day they didn't get back to me so I went to IOM on that Monday (14th August) but we were told we are holding draft appointment not yet confirmed (over 50persons were in this on that Monday) We were told to go back home and message them with our passports and payment confirmation and I did email them on that Monday they replied me on Tuesday to send my passports in PDF format which I did immediately and till now they haven't reply me even after sending messages everyday till this morning nothing yet... Pls if anyone know what else I can do or anyone who's in the same situation like mine and have been able to solve the problem. 😠😡

I know! But you need to trust God and calm down

Hi Giselle237… thanks for jumping in on this aswell… I had to take down the earlier uploaded documents as @dduchess90 had shared her thoughts on ‘em.. but yeah, I’d upload ‘em here again for your perusal…

One of ‘em is a page from my divorce papers stating I’ve got sole custody of my daughter but also granting my EX rights of access…

The second document would be the Sole custody letter I went on to getting years after my divorce…(had to go get this when myself and my daughter needed to renew our US visas since we weren’t gonna go with her father right after our divorce)…


I’m open to suggestions on what documents are acceptable by UKVI as far as proving Sole custody of my daughter if the attached one wouldn’t suffice…



Also, could you please elaborate on the “making of school arrangements” thingy you suggested? I think I might know what mean but I don’t want to assume so…

Is it that they did not see this?
This looks enough.
Include a cover letter expressly stating that you have been granted full custodianship by the courts and that it is attached to the documents. Pls remove them from the internet now as I have seen them.
Then, making care arrangements as father would not be travelling or involved. They want to be sure child would be getting 24/7 care so you might want to reach out to schools including asking about breakfast and after school clubs to show that child would be in school for the day and any other care and living arrangements you have in mind.
So maybe reach out to some schools or admission team in the area, get communication between yourselves and add these to the application. Add all these plus a cover letter to state your point.

Serendipity01:
Good afternoon my Nairaland family. Thank you for always. Please can a single parent guide me on how they were able to get self custody for dependent kids, especially if the divorce process has not been concluded. While considering the fact that the person has from now to December to take the kids because of the new law and will a consent letter from their dad enough?
Please advise. Thank you

I saw you emailed me. I don’t think I have access to the email registered on here.

Answer to your question, you need a court document that says you have sole parental responsibility of the child.

Please and please don’t mistaken custody for sole parental responsibility and no affidavit. An official court document will suffice and a copy of the parent’s visa (if you’ve gotten your vignette already).
