No problem with that you are good to go. As long as the 28days is complete no problem at alll.

Hi all, I have been refused a tier 4 visa their reason being that verification of my sponsorship letter returned as inconclusive and that i qualify for administrative review

I contacted my financial sponsor and they said visa office has not contacted them.

What do I do, please advice. they are saying they tried to verify the letter and it returned as inconclusive but my sponsor said they weren’t contacted.

dami24:



No, it’s only when your application has been assessed that is changes to used. Before then, it is registered as assigned. But once your application is assessed, it changes to used. I did my biometrics since 7th, my CAS changed to used only on 24th.


So maybe the day your application was assessed(CAS changed to used) , they had more things to investigate, so they are taking more time on it.

Did you ask her when it changed to used?

Hmm, this is not entirely correct. Her school is right. As long as you submit an application with a CAS, it will be used at some point. It will be quite misleading to assume that once the CAS status changes to used, then a decision has been made. Quite logical and straight forward here - all things being equal - and by equal i mean, your passport document is original and your CAS was issued by the sponsor. The next other thing to worry about is your Bank statement. So if the HO send you a mail that your application is not straight forward or its taking them sometime to make a decision, 7 out of 10 times, its got to do with a check in Nigeria....your bank statement.

who issued the sponsorship letter? And can you post a part of the refusal here?

Icesnow:
Incase the parent are separated, what happens?

I will try to answer your question based on a few assumptions.

Assumption one: You're separated from the father of your child
Assumption two: He's willing to have you travel with the child outside the country
Assumption three: He's willing to visit every now and again.
Assumption: Said child answers the last name of the father

If the above are all true, a consent letter is not enough to secure a dependent visa for the child.
The UKVI will want t understand the relationship between the two adults and you will usually achieve this using court papers (NOT affidavit). You need to proof that you have sole responsibility for the said child.

Goodluck.

LagosismyHome:


I am not an expert but that what my family member was told by the school , that the home office rule and they re very strict on it . That was how I heard of the rule and went to check the home office

To answer your question I did google search since I am no expert and see what University of Sheffield states

https://www.sheffield.ac.uk/ssid/immigration/tier-4-application/inside-uk/dependants

Spot on!

However, if they are still together but either of them is not willing to apply as a dependant, then you must give a compelling reason why not. I still struggle to imagine one. The main reason for the policy is to keep family close together as much as possible.

I’m so sorry about this, just googled “administrative review “ you need to go to https://visas-immigration.service.gov.uk/product/administrative-review?_ga=2.51272875.363431303.1580295215-1378231865.1577135146

Apologies for the refusal. But I've seen a letter just exactly like this one from someone on this forum a couple of weeks ago.
This is essentially the HO sending a mail to an un-monitored email address.

Was there a contact details in the letter you provided (ie email and phone number)? If NO, the agency carrying out checks for the HO would have used google to get the email address of the university.

Get down to the university and let them have a look at all their correspondence email address, I'm more than certain that the confirmation letter from the HO is somewhere sat there unattended to with a couple of reminders.

You can also do a google search for the email address of the university and see what comes up, i just did.

And note, the default means of contact (for confirmations and verifications) for the HO is email.

The letter contained both email address and phone number. The person in charge of the email address said he has recieved no mail from them

justwise:


Why not? Definitely important to include consent letter when traveling without the other parent.

JUSTWISE thanks for all your incessant replies to my questions but please, If someone receives a mail from UKVI that his application has been sent to his VAC ikeja does that mean that his documents is ready for.collection..as in will my documents be there without waiting for the vac to tell me that they have received it.?

I just checked the school website and i can see that the email contact on the website is different from the one that was on my letter.... instead of registrar@ it says registry@

Do you think it’s possible the visa office used that one instead of that which was provided on my letter?

Good afternoon house.

Please house, is it safe for me to go for a "one-way" ticket with Emirates from Lagos to London??

Brief background of the title of my visa and programme duration:

Visa type : Tier 4

Course duration : 2yr

NB: my visa is valid from January 9, 2020 through May 31, 2022.

I don't intend going for the services of ticketing agents as a result of their price range so far, I intend doing it myself but according to them, I'll be told by the airline to go get a return ticket.

Please someone should assist me, it's very urgent.

Thank you!

Hello everyone,

Thank you all for your contributions. I got my Passport today at TLS. It was a great battle between I and the UKVI. My passport has been approved on 6th of January and should have gotten to me since 9th of January. The school chasing the passport on my behalf with the UKVI. TLS advice I go to British Council to check for my passport. I was told this until my 5 visit. I’m not based in Abuja. I’ve spent a lot of money trying to reach them. Lo! My passport has been in British council ever since. I’ve called UKVI 4 times and I was told decision has bn made. I sent email.

Special Thanks to God and thanks to Nedu.
I wish everyone waiting for their passport good news in Jesus name.

As part of verification process, they would usually use an email address they are able to get from other trusted sources (eg - schools web page, internet search) and not necessarily the one you provided in your letter. I can see the school has a couple of them online, I'm sure one of those addresses has your conformation enquiry.

Peradventure even if the email address does not exist, UKVI would have gotten the notification of a failed delivery which is clearly not the case here.
Depending on how far you want to pursue this, I'm sure your sponsorship enquiry is in one of the email addresses held by the institution. Also, in some cases, UKVI has sent confirmation enquiries to individual email addresses of an institution. So might be worth checking with registrar as well. Good luck.

Hello Everyone,
I intend to use my micro finance bank statement for my visa application. Is it advisable? Has anybody use a micro finance account before?

UKVI throws up application not straight forward for any reason they feel like. Sometimes just cos they've got backlogs they can't deal with in a timely fashion or the person accessing your docs needs to push it up to a superior. Usually your CAS is issued during the application process but I don't think it's used until the HO makes a decision. And I'm saying this because the day I recieved a mail of my CAS being used was the same day a decision was made on my application.
