Hi guys
Please I need answers
I’m very confused
So
I’m trying to invite my mom for my graduation in the UK.
Me and my partner
She doesn’t work
And so she doesn’t earn
We’re fully sponsoring her to come over for two weeks and then attend my grad as well
We’re confused on what to put in for monies available to her
How much money she personally plans to spend
Total money she gets in a year etc

Hello guys
So I’m currently a student about rounding up dissertation. Due to deliver in Dec/Jan but my visa expires Jan 31st. I plan to apply for PSW visa with my partner in Nov after graduation. But I want to invite my mom for the childbirth etc and now cause visitor’s visa now takes 7 weeks or more was planning on applying for her in Oct so she can be here in Dec. Will the validity of my visa be an issue?

shegzy80:
@justwise; do you mean that for the standard, we might not receive mail but the passport might be available for pick up while I go for my priority passport?

No
You have to wait to get collection mail for your daughter first before her passport can be ready
Since the primary applicant has been granted visa already
It won’t take up to 15 working days before her collection mail comes
Most probably 9 working days
This is rush period
And they’ve most likely started treating applications as they ought to be rather than granting entire family visas on priority basis cos only the main applicant did priority.

Kindly help guys. I’m trying to pay for health surcharge payment it’s showing me that I don’t have any dependent which I do, I want to know if it’s correct that way..thank u

You’re on the right track
You’re to pay IHS separately on your dependant’s application too
So this is correct
Go ahead

hustla:
Did you pay from Nigeria?

Yes
GT dollar card

hustla:
Thanks

Did a demo app yesterday just to see how it is

Seems you can only use dollar master card as others are restricted

I used a VISA dollar card
Also know someone that use VISA card and paid over 6k dollars with it

Garnyangel:
Okay, thank you. Thank you for the reply. But please I would like to ask. Did it work successfully for other people who did not upload anything there but had the employment evidence written in their documents upload list? I mean did it favour them? I hope they were not denied the visa when they did not upload anything there. I look forward to your response

Wait a minute
What visa did you apply for
Are you saying employment evidence was on your checklist?
If so, then that’s not correct
Download your application form and see if you’ve made any mistakes
You ought to only upload documents listed on your CAS
Statement of account
TB certificate
And Passport

Mietegirl:
Please how do i categorize the documents?

When you upload your documents if you’re self uploading, you’ll be asked to categorize just beneath each document.
When you get to that stage you’ll see it.

Garnyangel:
@justwise Please under my self-upload documents, employment evidence was part of the documents I should upload. I am not employed but volunteering in a company as an intern. What should I put as employment evidence? Or should I ignore it. What should I do? Thanks for your assistance

Do you mean the part where you categorize your documents into for example ( sponsor evidence, financial evidence, etc?
You upload your documents and then categorize them
You’re not uploading any employment evidence
So why are you bothered about it
You’re applying for student visa
That category is for other visa types

Sammybliss23:
Good afternoon. Concerning POF, I have these questions to ask please.
(1) the account was opened on 10th of July, and the money deposited on 12th July, if I want to print statement, shey, I can print from any day? , Like it's not compulsory I print from 13th July (the next day). Secondly,
(2)on the bank statement, I printed from 20th June, but transaction occured on 28th june. So, it actually started from that 28th June (the day transaction occured), but At the top of the paper, it states the date from when (that's from 20th June,2021) to when. Is that how it should be? I mean, is the statement good like that?

You have to print a day after the money is completed in your account
You shouldn’t print same day the money entered pls
You’ll be setting yourself up with that
Secondly if you’re printing a bank statement, It’s the dates you had transactions that it’ll show
For you, you should start count from 13th July
That’s your day 1
10th August will make it 29days
So you can print on the 29th day onwards

MissOwaa:
@justwise and anyone with info
Good Day, please I want to pay for IHS, my fee is 1005.9usd but when I checked for my partner (dependent )I saw 670usd please is this right?
What do I do?
Do I pay for mine first and go ahead and pay for his despite the large discrepancy.

I think you may have made a mistake when filling the form for IHS payments on his application.
Cos it ought to be the same
The only thing you can do is start his application all over.
There was probably a mistake when filling the course start date or your visa expiry date (your course end date)

angelss813:
Good evening friends.
Please how much is priority?

The university Rep told me that priority is $880 and this was what she paid for someone on Friday. Please help me to know if it's correct.
Thank you

As at on that same Friday
Standard visa plus priority was about $810
Thts what was debited
The rate for conversion was 1.4255

[quote author=Favouredforever post=103942673][/quote]This is a refusal o
Your visa has been refused with Ten years ban
Jeez
What bank was this
Also did an agent help you apply?

Guys pls Has anyone done walk in at TLScontact VI
Between 9-11am before

Thedeewhy22:
Good evening people,

Pls I will just want everybody that has collected there visa to check the date on their passport. 2 people talked about the wrong date that was issue on their visa yesterday but was thinking mine was correct…

Checked mine now, I was surprise my own date too is wrongly written. Am seeing 20/08/2021 - 18/11/2021 which was suppose to be till 2023. I have seen different answers to this but is there an embassy contact I can get right now for correction or it’s until I go back to TLs ikeja. people that talked about these yesterday, how did you go about it?

Thanks

Is it in your passport or the letter itself?
If it’s the former then This is correct.
It's the letter that states how long you will stay in the UK
It means after 23/11/21 I cannot use this sticker to enter the UK

Justice2700:
I am suppose to do my biometrics at TLS Abuja center today 16th of July, I got a mail from them at 12am, which I think is really unprofessional, that the center will be closed. I travelled all the way here with my husband. So sad. Is anyone experiencing such or have experienced such. What can be done, I’m seeing they will be closed Monday-Wednesday next week and there’s no available date till 30th of July on the page.

Oh wow
Is this for only Abuja
Did anyone else get this mail for other Centres pls?
This is actually unprofessional knowing that ppl coming for biometrics do not live only in Abuja and Lagos
Sigh

Tokenotp:
Hello Prissylla, I wasn't the one who asked this question but the way you answered with grace, detailing every step is mind-blowing. Please be my friend. You mind if I PM you? Thanks.

Kind regards.

Sure
I don’t mind atall
Thank you too

Dumebi213:
It's best to be patient ooh, UKVI is not running anywhere if you read up previous pages you'd see where it is strongly advised to wait for your statement of account to mature before starting your application or paying fees.

Oh yes
Thanks a lot
I understand you now

Goddyss:
Please is it possible to book biometrics for like a month before submission date after payment of IHS and Visa fee?

My statement of account is still pending and I would like to know if I could book biometrics ahead of time?

Oh wow
I get you
Me too I want to know if it’s possible to apply with all other documents except SOA to pick a biometrics date and opt for assisted service to upload the SOA on biometrics day
But I doubt it could work

Agbeni33:
Hello everyone, please I need some clearity.

Can anyone give me breakdown on how the UK student visa works?

Have read the visa requirements and financial aspect..but the question is

How would I start the process?
Where should I start from?


I would be glad if anyone can explain it to me.

You can start by searching for the school you’ll like to study in
The course and tuition fees as well as requirements for each school to get an offer
Also Check the various cities the schools of interest are located
Apply to the different schools of interest
Get admission
Pay your required deposit to the school
Fulfill the requirements needed to get CAS from your chosen school
Book for TB test (in Lagos or Abuja)
Start counting POF for 28days in your account
Get CAS from school
And apply for visa when you have your TB certificate, statement of account for 28days (balance of school fee + maintenance funds for 9months)
Pay your visa and IHS fees online and book for your biometrics appointment date (TLS contacts in VI, Ikeja or Abuja)
Wait for visa decision
That’s basically it

Petite22:
Good afternoon people, my International passport is less than six months valid so I applied for renewal last month but it's not out yet.
Can I use the old passport to book for TB Test? Since it's still valid , hope it won't lose a problem during the visa application stage? Or I should wait for the new one to book? Thank you

You can book with it
It’s not expired yet right?
And you don’t need to correct the passport number when your new passport comes
Cos the new one will carry the old passport number which will be on your TB test
You’re good to go

Dumebi213:
Guys, good morning, does IOM operate on Saturdays? the date I think I got for the TB test appointment is the 17th and it's on a Saturday, I can't remember if it was the 16th or 17th because I went there to book on 15th.

Is it possible to call them to confirm? make I no waste my credit

I did manual booking and got Saturday as appointment date
Did my test last Saturday

Okrikarepublik:
Yes this is the stamp I'm talking about.
Quote the number attached on any application and you are good to go.
That number is attached to the visa letter for those who got it .
And it explains all.

I appreciate your response
God bless

TheGuyFromHR:
The set of numbers commencing with "9....." is the reference number you need to quote. You dont need to get the refusal letter, just state in the form under past refusals that you applied on so-and-so date and cant remember the refusal reason/have requested it, but quote that reference and that's all.

Thank you so much

Okrikarepublik:
Whichever slot asks for reason for state what happened like you said and quote the stamped number on the passport.
For every denial before 2018 there about , passport comes with a stamped page "UK VISA" and some numbers.

Thank you so much for your response
Unfortunately the only stamp on that passport was at the very last page (UK ABUJA) with a number written with date below it
It’s just confusing

justwise:
I hope they reply you in time because its important to know why you were refused.

Did you make the application yourself or through an agent?

No agent
By himself
His uncle was inviting him to UK then and his dad was sponsoring the trip
So he submitted his own Statement of account with his dad’s own and his uncles details in the UK

Okrikarepublik:
Why do you want to know reason for refusal? And didn't ask then?
They don't need you to tell them during application, they would find out.
Just quote the stamped number on your passport.

Also won’t he be asked the reason for refusal when filling his visa application form now?

Okrikarepublik:
Why do you want to know reason for refusal? And didn't ask then?
They don't need you to tell them during application, they would find out.
Just quote the stamped number on your passport.

I’m asking on behalf of my dependant, he couldn’t even appeal then cos there was nothing to appeal with
The passport was collected without anything, just denied
No email either
Cos I don’t even know how they do their process back then in 2013
It was a bit different from now

If someone had a UK visit refusal in 2013 and the passport was collected without a refusal letter, neither was a mail sent back then
It was the time Nigeria still used VFS (now TLS)
How can one find out reason for refusal pls
Already sent a mail requesting for immigration history and they requested for some information which was provided said they’ll get back within a month
It’s already a month now
And it’s getting close to when I’ll need to apply for my visa
@justwise and co pls help
And I know they’ll need you to atleast state reason for refusal

K4daniel:
I only use it for my visa fee, my zenith dollar master card was Fantastic, it's either soft token or hard still fine on both. na one time. I could have also used it for ihs but I allowed my brother in UK to pay with his verve Barclay card.

Thanks
I actually have a pounds dom account with zenith
I’m just hoping it’s not difficult to buy pounds in Nigeria here cos it seems dollar is easier to get
