NaughtyBrainiac:
It seems today is for Visa Alerts, what a good day. Congrats to all the visa celebrants. I pray that the UK favours you all.

This is to tell everyone waiting that yours will also come. Just keep calm, nothing will go wrong.

Please note that NYSC cert is not a compulsory requirement ( except you need it to prove study gap). You will get your visa even if you don't upload it.

MissNgozi123 , your visa alert is special because it's a PhD and it's fully funded with an annual maintenance of £16k, wawu! I sent you a pm already tongue tongue tongue

Realgeets, I love your visa alert cos of the Quran verses, it's conspicuous how exhilarated and grateful you are.

I also love the update you gave on winter jackets, that 3k ehn grin grin grin.
Giselle237 too get bad mouth grin grin grin , baba talk say na rubbish winter jackets we dey buy for Nigeria. I know he knows what he's saying but one will be tempted to buy a winter jacket because of that unbelievably low price of 3k grin

Once again, Congratulations to all of you. I wish those waiting the best.
Thank you very much, I’m honored

Regards

I give thanks to Almighty Allah, I’ll also like to thank everyone on this thread, I have gotten so much informations here.

Special thanks to @Justwise for opening this thread.

Thanks to @duchess90 @dduchess90 for the good work and also replying my personal message regarding work reference.

Thank you all for your contributions, I do get answers to the questions i had in mind without asking just by following the thread.

May God bless you all abundantly.

If you're new here, please read from the first page, if you do this, you’ll get answers to all your questions even before you ask.
Follow the thread everyday if you can.
I never liked reading, but for the sake of JAPA, I developed reading habit by following this thread. This thread became part of my daily routine.
I didn’t know anything about Uk study visa before I started following this thread. Alhamdulilah, by following this thread daily, I now know a lot about it. You can do everything yourself from A-Z. It’s simple but stressful. Yes, NO PAIN, NO GAIN.
There is so much to learn here.
It paid off Walahi.

Kindly note that it’s a long process, I’ll advise you take one step at a time and please don’t forget to prepare ahead of the next step, get all documents/answers ready before you get to the next stage. With this, you’re good to go.

For your winter jackets, kindly call this number: +2347067915309 or 08124387531, I got mine from him in yaba. I bought at #3,000 each as against the outrageous amount others kept calling before locating his shop. I’m doing this because the man called to confirm if we’ve gotten home. Please patronize him, he’s a nice man.
Thanks

You’re next in line.

Ma’a Salam!

Hi @duchess90, @mimilyrics, others,

On the declaration page for a child dependent student visa (child under age 4), I chose the B option below. Is it correct?

B) I am the applicant aged under 18
C) I am the parent or legal guardian of the applicant who is aged under 18 and completing and submitting the form on their behalf
Hello!

The answer is “C” as a child cannot enter into a contract.
Option “B” is for teenagers under 18 that can fill the form themselves and sign.

Good afternoon everyone, I need your advice pls!

I am the Main Applicant and I have 2 dependents, my husband and our daughter. POF is in my husband’s account. Still dnt know how it didn’t occurs to us to transfer the POF to my account. POF has matured now and we were trying to apply for Visa yesterday night and that was when we realized that we should have transferred the POF to my account? Can we go ahead and use his account for POF and get a consent letter from him. We read on UKVI site that I can only use my partners account if we are going together. We plan to go together with our daughter but he is having issues with his passport renewal. His current passport expires Jan 2023. What do u advice pls? Do we start the POF again? Our deadline is October 10. Your candid advice will be appreciated. Thank you.
Hello!

You don’t need to start a new POF, use the one in your husband’s account and get a consent letter from him.

Secondly, your husband can apply for visa with the passport that’s going to expire in January 2023, he’ll renew the passport in the UK��

Hello!

What time will your passport arrive?
If you’re sure of getting it before 3pm, just walk-in with your dependant. The process is long, you should meet up. You’ll just go out to collect the passport when the person comes. But if you fail to get the passport before time, you’ll have to go with @duchess90’s advice.
Please note that you must have a copy of your passport data page.

Yampotatocarrot:
Yes, you are correct. It's a new policy from their headquarters. According to the person in the branch I went to, they found out they have a lot of dormant accounts. As in, people just open a account with them to pay for form A, after payment, they abandon the account, hence a lot of dormant accounts.

To prevent future occurrence of such, the bank decided to come up with that policy.

(It was actually the headquarters that first told me that, before the person at the branch told me the reason)
Oh, thank you for clarifying this. I’ve been using the account ever since, because i felt betrayed by banks I’ve been using for long including the bank i worked with for a year.
