My friend (F);just finished her studies and switched to the post study visa. Her husband is in Nigeria and he wants to come visit her.
What's the best approach to go about this?

If you have any threads that has dealt with a similar situation, please share.
If you can assist, please quote.

Also, if you hear of any sponsorship job in/out of London , please share.

He should apply for a visitor's visa but I don't know if the recent changes in the rules (restrictions on bringing dependents over) will affect his application.

I would say ask for sponsorship 3/6 months into the role after gaining good understanding of the role and proving you are useful. At that point, they would rather sponsor you than hire a new person but if you say it now they may begin to weigh their options and may find alternatives. This is what I did and I got sponsored last year.

Also, if they don’t at least you have got the experience and can start shooting your application elsewhere. All the best.

giselle237:
pls ask the employer about sponsorship. This or the next. But since it is graduate visa and you have sometime till next year then you might also want to take your chances and hope for a better opportunity next year with your now band 7 experience in hand. Your graduate visa is till nov 2025 you say so I feel there is time.
Also follow all the advice above mine

This is the best thing. At band 7 most NHS Trusts will gladly sponsor so from about 6 months in, begin aggressively looking for another role at that band (or even higher) while talking to your Trust about it as well, and you'll almost surely get another role with sponsorship or be offered it at your current Trust.

Hey guys, I have a question about the account I want to submit for my visa application

The only credits in this account in the last six months are my salary paid every month

There is also a credit of 10,000 from my husband, that’s all. We bear the same surname

But there are a lot of debits for my day to day living expenses. ATM withdrawals, fuel purchases at filing stations, restaurants, airtime, data, etc

Is this kind of account clean enough for UK visa application?
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by DoubleN(m): 8:10pm On May 09
Yes as long as you have enough funds to cover the required maintenance. These funds should also not have been in the account for less than 28 days. No unexplained bulk payments during this period as it will be a RED FLAG.

Thank you! But this 28 days rule, I thought it’s for student visa proof of funds ?

Good morning my oga's at the top , please my family applied for skills health work visa unfortunately the COS given to us was fake because i got 10 years banned for summiting fake certificate of sponsorship COS while my dependants husband,kids got refusal letters with present condition of Nigeria we can't just stay one place for the sake of our kids so we have decided that my husband go for MSc or even through skills work if he can get valid COS, my question is will my banned as the main applicant affect my "dependants" ,husband and kids future applications if they decide to reapply.
below is my banned letter and my dependant husband refusal letter..
Please will my dependants also get the 10 years or it's just A NORMAL REFUSAL they get?... should my husband go ahead with MSc or get a valid COS to reapply please for the sake of our kids....

Gosh, sorry to hear of your ban due to the fake paperwork.

In theory your ban shouldn't affect your dependants, the issue is your husband getting a route that will sponsor them. As you know the masters route doesn't allow dependants except for Research and PHD courses, the care route has also been restricted to dependants. Your husband could try the NHS or a skilled visa route outside of care, but how will you join them as you will likely be refused under suitability requirements..
It might be worth exploring another country if you plan to stay together as a family.

In as much we are considering exploring the other options and we will like to stay together but I don't mind staying in Nigeria for that 10 years, so far my kids and husband is doing well... It's all about our kids future....
We just want to sure the 10 years ban on my main applicant will not affect the dependants...
Thanks so much for your input... always apt.

I respect your choice but I will give you my opinion.
With the money you are going to spend as a family on this trip, you can give your children a decent future if you use it wisely in Nigeria. I don't know how old and how many they are but children cost money to take care of in the UK and for a single parent, it is even harder. If he needs to work, who will take care of the children? But if the moeny is used properly in Nigeria, you can give them a very good education which is comparable to private schools in the UK, at a fraction of the cost and they can get very good outcomes in the future and be able to travel round the world with visa rather than having a British passport and be unable to travel round the world because they can't afford it. I will not talk about the marriage part asI have no details on your situation but think about it deeply.

Pre Jan 2024 the main Student visa applicant planning on bringing child(ren) to the UK, both parents must also be coming. I don't know and can't confirm if it's still applicable. If it's still the rule, then your kids can't apply. Do you checks before proceeding.

As our aunty said, maybe it's worth exploring other countries.

Thanks so much, if we opt only him their father should go, Will the ban affect his application or he own was just NORMAL REFUSAL LETTER , maybe the kids will be coming to visit him or he coming once or twice a year just for him to get his ILR Btw we don't mind about the cost.... I just want to be sure that the 10years ban will not affect him as the then dependant ,if he's free to reapply for Msc,research program or even as a skill work .

P.s
Two kids for now 😂 although we soon add more 😂

Yes we are also considering that option as well but we also want to be sure ban is only on me not my husband or kids BTW my kids can be going during long vacation on tourist visa but we just want to be sure that the 10years ban will not affect their future applications.

It should not affect him since he did not use the fake COS but each decision is made on its merit by the officer. If money is not an issue as you stated, I will say stay together in Nigeria or try other countries like Canada. Nigeria is underrated.

They refused them, they did not extend the ban to them as per the refusal letter posted. If it is skilled work he tries to get, both parents would need to apply for the kids to be granted. As you would be remaining in Nigeria, the kids will not be granted except in case of death or paternal sole custody by the courts.

I'm deeply grateful for your input, more knowledge to you... that's means either explore other countries or my husband will be only one to travel maybe kids will be coming to see their Dad during long vacation on tourist visa....

I don’t think this is true. A signed legal letter of consent from the other partner should suffice.

sometimes you people just argue without recourse to what is happening in real life. Goodluck with your signed legal letter of consent that suffices. Go and also cancel all the refusals UKVI has given out and tell them the signed letter of consent is enough.
