TravelRe: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered Part 6 by Preeskaar: 11:16am On Aug 31, 2021
Am not sure, we tried to stay on the site for an hour without choosing any of their services, we got no available dates neither was checkout possible. I guess it's because tls is in its peak period, but if you can afford to pay for walk-in, then premium lounge is a better option
Kenny4smart:
This is really expository but do you think that this trick of re-ammending appointment dates can work without the premium lounge service?
TravelRe: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered Part 6 by Preeskaar: 10:34pm On Aug 30, 2021
I want to share an hack for tls appointment that worked for me.
It was my dependent application, we applied on 24th Aug which was a Tuesday and got biometric appointment for Wednesday 9am. All we did was to choose the premium lounge service which is #42,000 same as walk-in, at first we got a far date, after receiving the confirmation email, we logged out, then we went back to ukvi site, got redirected to tls and clicked on amend appointment, stayed on the site for some minutes and a new early date popped up, we clicked it and checked out, again received another confirmation mail. We did this a third time and we where able to get a next day appointment.
Note that this means you will receive multiple confirmation mails from tls, all you have to do is print the ist page and attach the other pages from your first confirmation mail in other to show the services you paid for because the new dates will have zero naira for added services on it.
You can do this as many times as you want, I guarantee early new dates will come at intervals and you should be quick to click because its fastest finger first o.
It heartbreaking for me when I read how frustrating walkin is becoming, just pay for premium lounge and you don't have to suffer for biometric. Did you know that with premium Lodge you wouldn't have to go through the down and upstairs queues, you are treated special especially when you quickly announce that you are for premium lounge.My husband walk in and out of tls ikeja last Wednesday majestically that I was jealous, he spent less than 40mins
Enjoy your 42k I beg, you earned it

No. 3 is no longer correct if the application is separate from the main applicant's. Pof can only be in partner's acct if they are applying together, according to the information for the GOV.UK site, under money you need.
Babababy:
1. Yes, you have to pay IHS for wife and kids.
2.The new POF has to cover everyone, including yourself, even though you already have your visa.
3. The money can remain in your account if you are providing marriage cert to show proof of relationship with spouse and birth cert for child.
4. You can use either the US or Nigerian passport, I am yet to see any special advantage on using either of them
5. If your son was the main applicant(student) and applying with the US passport, then he would not have needed to show evidence of POF, but in this regard, he has to show
TravelRe: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered Part 5 by Preeskaar: 11:24pm On Aug 12, 2021
According to this part, since your wife is applying differently, pof should be in ur wife’s account. My opinion though
Aydceo:
Please I want to confirm the following from those who applied as family or from those whose family members apply after the main applicant visa got approved.

Did you pay IHS for your partner and kids ?

Can I use same bank statement for wife and kids ? I was expected to provide 7m as my POF but I hv about 18m. Now that I got my visa the 18m covers for the remaining family members, can I reprint same statement to apply for them ?

I believe I can use my statement since am the main applicant or do I need to transfer money into my wife account since they will be applying separately?

I hv a son with US passport, should I apply with his US passport or Nigerian passport ?

Does my son with US passport need POF because it’s stated on UKVI website that citizens from certain listed countries do not need to provide POF as dependent?

Please I need help from past applicants with same issue as mine and your contributions will be highly appreciated.

Thanks

Those who removed and are successful are not September 2021 intake. Pof is scrutinised zealously now

Dear applicant,

Pls in order to be on the safe side, I will advise you leave the funds in your account until decision is made.

Some have removed b4 decision and still got visas while some were unfortunate.

Thanks.

We will rejoice with you soon. Hang on there!
Tolvin:
Update - I just finished making a paid call to UKVI and the agent I spoke to collected my visa application and contact details. She was really surprised as she said she had not witnessed this before.
She said that she saw that a decision was made on the 2nd of August but she is unable to view the decision as it's 'private'. She told me that I should expect a feedback within the next 15 working days (ideally, she said it should come before then). I believe that it will end in praise!!!

According to reports from friends already in the UK, they were sent the covid kits and had to follow written instructions to do the swabs themselves, they posted the kit back after the tests.

Good morning wonderful people! Please, what are we supposed to do about this second and eighth day tests? The testing kits? Has anyone been able to find more affordable ways of handling the tests and kits matter?
TravelRe: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered Part 5 by Preeskaar: 10:27am On Aug 09, 2021
It's not entirely because of long study gap, mine was 10years and I have my visa, I know a may intake with 23years and she's already in Salford University. The reasons for interviews are best known to them but I believe career progression is key. Getting interviewed could be because the country is opening up and covid is no longer a threat
kayalade123:
UKVI has your certificates and a gap of over 15 years of course would raise an eyebrow. Compared to some one who graduated in 2020 and wants to go for his or her masters.
TravelRe: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered Part 5 by Preeskaar: 10:17am On Aug 09, 2021
She can quote the average salaries in Nigeria on payscale. as per where to work? She can research Nigeria companies where she can work with the degree and the expected roles the masters will qualify her for.
K4daniel:
Please for those who have answered interview before, I am asking for a friend that has interview tommorow, and the question is if you were asked how much will you like to earn after your masters? Also where will you like to work? I need to give her the answer pls. I actually don't know much about interviews both my school and ukvi didn't do any interview for me.Thanks guys.
TravelRe: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered Part 5 by Preeskaar: 9:41pm On Aug 06, 2021
Na as your money reach. There are people who did standard and got their decision in 9 working days after biometric and there are those who did priority and got collection mail after 7 working days. I think it's only super priority that as remained the same.
kayalade123:
Please which visa center is ok to book?
And the issue of standard and priority which one is better to book now pls?
TravelRe: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered Part 5 by Preeskaar: 9:37pm On Aug 06, 2021
Go through the link of your visa application and it will take you to tls site. There you will see the track button
HSpecial:
It isn’t working, the review is even bad.
I have been hearing of UkVI website. You know that ?
TravelRe: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered Part 5 by Preeskaar: 9:32pm On Aug 06, 2021
Within 31 days means your statement is valid for 31 days after the day you printed, meaning if you printed today 6th, then its valid for visa application till 6th of September.

2 You don't need to, and if you do make sure the pof doesn't go below required
3, you can use the same statement you used for the school if its still within the validity period or print a new one totally

Sysco600:
(1) Please what do there mean by within 31days after I have printed out my statement of Account

And Also my school just accepted my statement of Account I printed out for 1month plus and told me to proceed with my biometrics

My Question is

(2)should i keep on building up my transaction history and printout a recent statement Of account again before my biometrics

Or I should still use the 1Month plus statement of Account my school accepted to go for biometrics

I really need you guys answers

Thank you
TravelRe: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered Part 5 by Preeskaar: 8:49pm On Jul 30, 2021
Its a proof that application start day 1 is biometric day. This is the second report here visa was granted eventhough the pof was not up to 28days by the date of online application. However, if you can wait for the 28day before you submit application, why not? It actually gives less anxiety
Melahou:
Congratulations...this is a case study.i suggested this to someone but he said it's not possible...that one shouldnt pay for ihs and visa before your 28days POF clocks else it's automatic visa refusal.

International students are not admitted for part-time courses. Please make enquiries from the said school. Are you sure the mode of delivery is not online?
bemagnify:
I just got an admission for a master degree in the university of Stratfordshire...

The course starts on the 18th of October 2021.

The course is a part time...(2 years)

1) Please if I apply for a student visa in mid August (when my 28 days POF will expire) will I be able to get visa on or before 18th October 2021? If yes what will I do to fast track the process ?


2) Does the UK embassy approve Part time courses for Nigerians?

3) What are my chance of getting the visa?

I have been reading from page one pls... But I am confuse due to the short of the application time. Thanks

It more than ssce, some schools accept proof of English letters from previous studies or ielts and co
perisabc:
Proof of English could either be WAEC/GCE or NECO. I am not sure it was about the proof of English.
TravelRe: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered Part 5 by Preeskaar: 7:26pm On Jul 21, 2021
Please, you should also note that another document awarded 10 points is your English proficiency, since you said your bank statement is legit, what about your proof of English?

All the best
Favouredforever:
-The money was not withdrawn.

Also, this statement: This means that any future entry clearance applications may also be refused under the
Immigration Rules for a period of up to 10 years depending on the type of application you
make. The period of 10 years starts from the date that the deception was used in this
application for a visa.


Are they saying I have been banned absolutely for 10 years?

You should have both signatures since it's a joint account. My opinion though

No it's not an issue, but if it bothers you so much you can always change the address on your bank account to match your present location.

It's not compulsory to change name through marriage, if you are using your mom as sponsor then you must make sure her name is also on your birth certificate
amnwa:
Abeg must your sponsor bear same surname ?for UK schools

My sister wants to use my mum as sponsor but my mum didn't change to my dad's Surname when the married.
TravelRe: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered Part 5 by Preeskaar: 8:58pm On Jul 09, 2021
When you print the pof, do not include the date you transferred the money into her account. Count the 28days after the transfer and you'll be fine
Melahou:
Gurus in the house please I need your candid advice.
We are a family of 4 while my wife is the Applicant.
I have already transfered all the required funds from my account to my wife’s account while we await for the 28day POF to clock.

But my Agent is requesting that I prepare a Sponsorship Letter stating that I am sponsoring my wife simply because I moved the funds from my account to hers.

Hi Gurus in the house.
I applied for biometric and selected self service and after uploading all the documents I realised I have to wait for TB test.

My question is should I have to wait for the results of the TB test before completing the upload and submit or I can submit and later upload the test?
