Thanks alot

That information is gotten via HMRC

They flag it up when information is requested by HO

HMRC has access to your employment and tax details and can deduce the hours worked

Greetings to everyone on this forum, I would like to know how the home office assesses work hours for international students. Is it checked weekly? (payslip after payslip) or is it scrutinised by the total amount earned by the student during the tax year?

Congratulations to you and your family, did she apply after you started your program in the UK? if yes, how many months do you have left on your study VISA when she applied?

Hello

Then she could have done a change of name on all her documents not some

The change of name wasn’t necessary, she can apply with her maiden name, it doesn’t mean she isn’t married

Now there’s a confusion with what name she should go with

Please retain her bank statement to match her name on her passport


Cheers
TravelRe: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered Part 9 by Realshima88: 6:45am On Sep 12, 2023
She is my dependant. And I am back in the UK to finish my programme. We got married and she did the change of her surname to mine. What I would like to know now is if it makes sense if the name on her bank statement(my surname) is different from the name on her passport (her former surname). She has the change of name evidence and the marriage certificate to back it up.

dduchess90:
Hello

Why did she do a change of name when her passport is in her maiden name??

Is her CAS and other certificates in her maiden name?! If so please leave her account with her maiden name

Good morning good people of this forum. My partner and I recently got married, she has done her change of name. Is it advisable for her to change the name on her bank account before she starts her POF? the name on her passport is her maiden name though.

Hello

You can use any registry certificate it mustn't be only from Ikoyi Marriage Registry


Cheers
TravelRe: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered Part 9 by Realshima88: 8:03am On Aug 16, 2023
There is absolutely no need for any falsification. Someone said only ikoyi marriage registry's certificate is valid for visa application. She said ikeja registry's certificate should not be used. I just want to know if she is right or wrong.
Thanks

Hello

UKVI can verify any document you submit. Recognizing is different from verifying.

So if you use falsified documents,they will know and that can attract 10years ban when caught

Thanks Duchess. I used my account during my application. So far i have paid 11k out of my 14k tuition. What i need to know right now is that if my dependant is applying, does she only need to have her maintenance funds for 9 months? I just need to be clear on this to avoid any glitches.

Hello

That should already be in your account if that was what you used during your application

Hello, good morning. I still have 3000 pounds of my tuition to pay. Do we have to include this tuition balance in the POF if my dependant is applying? The POF will be in her own account.

you need to prove your marriage is genuine and subsisting. Chats, emails, vacations together, picture’s during courtship, wedding pictures, marriage certificate, joint account or investment certificates of joints etc basically prove it’s not a sham marriage
Then tb, proof of funds etc check page 1 of the uk student visa thread
Please i am also in a similar situation, my program in the UK started september last year but i will be in Nigeria in august for our wedding. How can i prove our marriage is not a sham. We dont have a joint account together or investment certificates. We also didnt take pictures together before i travelled because we never lived in same city.

@Duchess90

With the ban on dependants, does that mean MA who enter Uk this September intake won't be able to bring his dependants into UK come January 2024 or it's the students that start their admission process in January that will be affected.

Thanks.
Very good question actually, can anyone shed more light on this please?

In addition to duchess90's response, chats/calls and marriage certificate + any money transfers (upkeep) to each other - verifiable on your account statement will help but the ECO might or might not request for more proof.

Pictures help so make sure that you have pictures of the wedding amongst others.

In the past, UKVI didnt ask for too much proof but with the rise in sham marriages, it's become increasingly regular for UKVI to ask for more proofs to ascertain that a union is real.
Thank you for the response.
Talking about money transfers (upkeep). Is it a must for the transfers to be from the bank account you will be presenting for proof of funds?. Also, i would like to know if its not too late to start the upkeep transfers now if you will be applying in september/october

Hello

How long can the chats and calls be traced back to?

Chats, calls, photographs are considered minor evidence which may or may not prove your marriage is substantial

Major documents are bills paid together ( even if it is a vacation),joint investment, government or other official letter addressed to the couple or individually but showing same address,(the list is endless).

They should be verifiable

What if they never lived together, they have chats that dates back 3 years way before the boyfriend travelled the UK for masters. Its basically a boyfriend/girlfriend thing. How can they get married and apply. Is it too late for any verifyable thing to be done? The MSC programme ends JAN 2024

As long as you can prove that it's genuine, it's okay. Proof will include your wedding certificate, pictures, accounts, chats amongst other things pre-dating your marriage to prove that the marriage is genuine and not a sham.
If you can't prove it, the application has a high probability of being refused.
Good morning, can you please explain the ideal way to go about the marriage thing and VISA application? It's a genuine relationship but the couple have no pictures together or joint bank accounts, just whatsapp chats and calls. I would also like to know how soon they can apply after they get married. The boyfriend has to come from the UK to get this done so they will be needing good information so that it wont be a waste of time and money. The MSC programme ends in JAN 2024 and VISA expires MAY 2024.

Thanks for the response dduchess90, they intend to apply for her immediately after the court wedding/reception, they plan to obtain some wedding pictures which may come in handy in the application process. Also duchess may i ask what the financial cost could be like for her application.

dduchess90:
Hello

The question should be how soon does he intend to apply for her visa after getting married, as long as it is done before his current visa expires, I would further advice before his study end date Jan 2024,simply because he may wish to apply for a graduate visa before May 2024 and he needs to ensure his dependant arrives before doing so. If this is put into consideration then that should be fine

2. The onus is to ensure there is enough evidence to show that the marriage/relationship is real
