Oh ok... thank you so much for your response.But please what do you mean by non straightforward email?

inphoenix:


Yes, the processing times is known to have on many occasions extended beyond 15 working days. More so with this COVID-19 situation.

Did you get a "non straightforward" email?

Goodday people,pls i will like the gurus on this platform to help me out on a way forward
I was just refused a tier 4 visa(inclusive of my hubby and 2kids),reason being that i dint declare i have a sibling in the uk(of which i told my school during preCAS interviee that i av a sister.i dint put on d application that i hav a sister,not because i want to lie but because siblings wasnt specified under family members in the uk.so during my visa interview on tuesday i told them i will be quarantinig in manchester in an airbndb apartment(but my school is in sheffield),when askd y i said cos my sis is there and want to quarantine where i knw somone and afterward move to the accomodation i booked in sheffield,i was asked y i dint fill i av a sister told her i dint knw of which i later gav her her name and date of birth.i later got to know my sis used another name and a diff date of birth to wat i told d consular,though she left so many years ago as an illegal immigrant but she hav her papers already.i am really sad,i was truthful in all bt it has cause me a refusal,what should i do pls?

Humm. Very painful because a family of 4 visa cost a lot and even the money needed

I dont know how you missed this because when I helped my BIL earlier this year we could see the part to add family members.

Sorry I dont know what to add. ... but everything is now documented that it's hard to correct but maybe others can advice . Sorry to see this

Let all try to fill any application as honest as possible because you never know when later it becomes a problem and impacts others . Short term it might not be a problem but what of in the future

Thank you so much for this. Please I will also like to know if everyone is called for an interview for the tier 4 visa. I'm suspecting that could be the reason for the delay or what do you think?

mimilyrics:
Sometimes, yes.

Not everyone is being called for interviews. For people whose applications give the ECOs cause for concerns, the ECO will call to clarify whatever information isn't clear.
Have you tried mailing UKVI to know what the holdup is?

Please I have a statement from my bank that I printed on the 17th of this month for my CAS.
1. Can I still use it or should I go print another one
2. Which of this should I tick?
Thanks all
@mimilyrics and other gurus in the house please help

Guys just a quick one.

So I booked EgyptAir for 10th of October to arrive Heathrow on the 11th of October by 2pm. My visa is valid from 11th of October. Hope I won't have any problems boarding?

1. Yes, you can.
2. Statements from a personal bank or building society account.

Hello

1. That will depend on the date of your biometric,if it is after 30days from the day of your already printed statement then yes you have to reprint a recent one.

2.The highlighted one is correct

Cheers

You do not have to wait till 8th of October. You can attempt walk-in. They will attend to you, after attending to those with appointment. I witnessed this on my appointment date.

Hello all,

Thanks for the informative thread, I need advice on the following please (I have gone through the thread to a good extend):
I tried booking a date for TB Test and got a date of 8th of October. Would you advise I wait till after receiving the test result to pay for visa application or I can go ahead and start the application? I am trying to avoid the increased IHS surcharge cost from 5th October.

Another question, my school required they check my financial evidence before issuing my CAS, they even had to make me reprint the bank statement due to some issues. They are now satisfied with the financial evidence which is a combined account statement, one personal and one joint account with a family member of same surname (my uncle). Do you think during the interview (if any) questions would be asked why I am having a joint account? and do I have to prove what percentage of it is mine?

Thank you

It is a mail that UKVI sends to applicants when they believe that the outcome of the application will take more than 15 working days because the application is not straightforward or is somewhat complex.

It's been awhile... Seeing visa approvals everywhere.. That's good

You shouldn't have any problems since your visa will be valid before you arrive in the UK.
To be sure that the airline would allow you board, just ask them.

Thank You so much. The stop over is two hours.

You won't be allowed out of the aircraft.
That was the previous procedure.

Please I need to clarify something, while filling my application, I saw where they asked if I had dependant(child, aged parents, etc but no where was husband included, so i filled no). Does this mean hubby would not be allowed to join me?

Sweetness24:
Paragraph 245ZV(k)

Good. It is not a ground for a ban. You can apply for administrative review or re-apply subsequently

Why not simply upload your refusal letter ? That way, you can get proper advice.

@mimilyrics @justwise @inphoenix

Been seeing your post about declaring your siblings, for someone like me who only have cousins over there that we aren’t even close do I need to list them in my application too?

Secondly, i got an offer of accommodation at my bro in laws place to stay for the duration of my program. However, the so called bro in law is my husband’s cousin while my bro inlaws sister is also based in the Uk do I need to list both of them in my application?

Non of my siblings are abroad, am I to also list them in my application irrespective of there location?? Because this whole sibling listing thing is starting to confuse me o. Pls help me with a detail explanation.

inphoenix:


Lol. So you see that everyone's experience is different, while your cousin wasn't asked for the TB certificate, others were.

The financial evidence provided during your application is for funds which are meant to be available to you for your course, so, you might be asked at the point of entry, and if you're asked, you must produce. Finish

No doubt na,i am not arguing all you need is to go with your bank statement but they don't usually suffer student's but visitors.

kcmontez:
Does UK immigration ask for evidence of POF with a student visa at the port of entry?

Yes, they can.
Be prepared for that.
Get internet banking if you don't have it already.

I think they also ask for a spouse's siblings.
Read the form when filling it, the guidance is clear.

You don't need to include siblings not in the UK, but you need to state that you have family in the UK especially if you're staying with them. They fall under the category of "family and friends" and I have included my cousin and aunty in my applications as they have been the ones inviting me over the years.

You may not include distant cousins you're not in contact with, but you need to include the BIL you intend to stay with. Bear in mind that under the tier4 rules, you still need to show your maintenance fund even if you have free accommodation.

Sweetness24:
Paragraph 245ZV(k)

You are not banned but you did not pass Genuineness test during the interview. You can send a letter of reconsideration in that letter state exactly what happened and the confusion that lead to your mistake.

A different ECM will look into your case and make decision, this letter is not about you claiming to be right or trying to defend your decision not to declare your sister in your application. You will be writing to explain why you made the mistake and plead for reconsideration of your application.

I would say no, you don't have to declare your cousins if you don't have their details or have a close relationship with them so you don't give wrong details and complicate issues. But those whose details you're sure of and with whom you have a close relationship with, yes.

Last I checked, you won't be listing your siblings on your T4 application but you'll need to if and when you make a leave to remain application (an application to remain in the UK on another visa).

If you will be staying at your bro-in-law's place, then you need to declare him and your cousin since you'll be including their details on your application.

I think you can still remedy that when you get your visa and the time comes for him to apply.
That dependant aspect on the form is confusing given the conflicting meanings of the word. Someone posted in this form addressing this, I can't remember whom so you can search for the comment, but it was along the lines of your issue.

Apart from siblings who are not in the UK declare every other person related to you who leaves in the UK, you can use the blank space in the form to add more info about them.

This will cost you nothing but if will cost you another application money if you are refused for not declaring them, whether the decision is wrong or not
