Hello

Do we have anyone who got a study permit after a ten-year ban and how did it go? What did you do or is it an outright refusal

Please help. Thank you


You've served your ban,you can try but make sure you are as honesas you can be.
At least if Dem no give you your deposit will be refunded.
Give it a try, something i me say's you will be lucky

Good evening everyone

My TB test expires on 17th September.

I'll be leaving Lagos same day but arriving in London on the 18th.

Can I travel with this certificate please ?

I've heard stories of overzealous officers at MMA, will I be allowed to board?


No immigration officer will ask you for TB cert,they are more concerned about your travel document and tickets.
Should anyone ask you for such, politely tell them is not within the purview of the job.

@justwise, lagosishome, duchess and other great contributors. Planning to apply by 19th September using priority....last day of arrival in school is 10th October 2022. Do you think I can make it. Mind you I don't know when my Biometrics will likely be. Any advice!

Thank you in advance .

You cannot exactly walk in at any time but there are some appointment times reserved for super priority applicants such as 8:15, 9:15, 10:15, 12:15, 13:15 etc.

Those times are mostly available when other applicants with priority and standard are looking for closer biometrics date. So, if you check today, you might see those times on closer date, which puts you at an advantage.

Beyond that, super priority also gives you your visa decision within 24 hours.



Isn't it unwise when one pays almost £1k for super priority service and yet to balance his/her school fee?

Move away from that your lokoja,go to Abuja or Nasarawa,you will find a teaching job at worse in a mushroom nursery and primary school.

Nairaland / General / Re: Help! I'm Too Nice And People Are Taking Advantage Of My Niceness. by Solatium(m): 11:10am On Jun 29, 2022
Travicon:
Hello Nairalanders,
I will try as much as possible to make the write-up short.

I am a 21years old guy at a Russian university with two Nigerian roommates (In the hostel though). We averagely get the same amount of money as an allowance monthly, but mine always finishes first.

I don't spend unnecessarily on myself, and we cook together. I discovered after two months of staying together that they care less about buying things that we generally use in the room. For instance, I always buy food season, detergents, and cooking oil (quite expensive).

I cook most of the time. Anytime I decide not to cook, we always go hungry and I can't cope with that. This has made my cash always run out faster and I can't stop them from eating my food or using the things I buy.

There was a time also I lend the last money with me (100k in naira) to my best friend then in Nigeria because he claimed his dad was sick and promised to repay by month-end. I didn't have anything to take me through the remaining days of the month but I gave it out because he was a close friend. Month-end, I couldn't get money from my sponsor because of some issues. I contacted my guy but he stopped replying to me on WhatsApp. I managed to get 20k but the rest is probably history now.

Whenever people talk about their problems, I always feel for them to the extent of giving out my money even if it's the last cash on me. I have never had a girlfriend, but I don't always have the strength to reject if a girl asks for airtime or money from me (including my mum and sisters though)

I always try to go to any length to see people happy even if it means borrowing money from another person for them. I'm that foolish. Generally, I'm too soft-hearted and nice but I don't know how to solve this problem. Someone advised me I should get a girlfriend who should always be angry with me if I'm being too nice to people and that will help me solve the problem to some extent but I think it won't.

I'm not from a rich family, not even from an average family. I'm even from a polygamous home so I know what it means to have suffered as a Nigerian. I was on the street and I guess that's what is making me this weak emotionally. I'm a simp all-around in my life and relationship with people. People are always cheating on me, taking advantage of who I am.

I NEED genuine HELP, please.


You have not done bad, people tends to take advantage of people who are kind hearted.
I was once in your shoes but now i know every man to himself and God for everyone.
Do the following.

1..Move out of that room from your stingy roommates,look for like minds and if you can't find any,look for a very smaller accomodations that you can afford,the little you are able to save from feeding your inconsiderate mates can be added to your rent.
with that your things will last and you will have your privacy and rest of mind.

2.. Whatever you can not let go don't borrow people,if someone requested for ₦100k help,if you can afford give half,but never give all.
Nigerians are professional when it comes to telling pitiable lies that will make them Scam you.

3... Always leave something for emergency,never allow pressure and what people say get to you.Even God seen we should love our neighbors but never love anyone more than yourself.

People with this kind of your attitude no dey see people help them óò when they required one.

From what she said, she said the agent used micro finance bank and they were unable to reach out or verify


Have you taken time to read that refusal letter?
Read and you will get where it was stated by UKVI that the supplied account number and detail submitted does not match with the microfinance records.
The microfinance did replied the UKVI enquiry,they were the one who confirmed it to be Forged Statement

PLS HELP!!!

Hello
Pls i need an honest and urgent advise on a bothering issue.I applied for Uk tourist Visa is Dec 2020 through an agent who did everything that needed to be done,all i did was just go for submission…By January i picked up my passport and i was refused,i asked the agent why and he told me it’s because of the 2nd Covid lockdown,he didn’t forward the refusal letter to me because he didn’t use my email,he created a new one to that effect.
I got an offer in Uk and while i was filling a form,i am to answer a question on if i had been denied before which is YES,and i was asked to upload the refusal letter which i didn’t have.
I reached out to the agent and after about 4days of trying to retrieve the email addy he used,he dropped the letter yesterday and the reason for refusal is completely different from what i was told,it turned out to be something on ‘deception’ as stated in the refusal letter.
Right now i honestly don’t know if it’s ok to go ahead with my application which is for September intake,i just want to know what my chances are,and what can be done to fix this error.Has anyone had similar issue,how was it resolved?

@justwise… and the entire member of the house. Pls am posting for a friend.. can she go ahead with the school deposit or back out??



Forged Statement of Account.

Goodmorning all, please I need information on dependant visa application process.

A person (Nigerian) works in the Middle East ( Saudi Arabia) as a Medical doctor on contract and his wife got a student visa in her home country (Nigeria) to study in the UK. The husband wants to apply for a dependant visa from Saudi Arabia to join his wife in the UK. Can he use his Statement of Account from his bank in Nigeria to apply for the Visa in Saudi Arabia or must it be his Saudi Bank account?


Saudi Statement of Account,since he works legally and resides there.
Besides why would someone leave a lucrative medical job in Saudi and run to England on a student dependant Visa? i don't get it

Hogwash,is it commercial banks that settles school fees or CBN?
Your money only go through your account in any of the commercial bank as you can't have a CBN account.
When CBN talks about not making forex available to the banks they are talking about selling to the commercial who inturn sells to Industrialist and business Men that round trip the forex.
Not those who go through trade system portal.

Visa Alert
I have been a silent reader of this trend and it really made me to avoid so many mistakes

Biometric 27th ikeja
Dependant application as wifey(MA) already traveled since Feb
Sent paid email 7th of June and laid email response 8th of June that a decision have been taken,that first of all calm my nerves
NOTE: I started my POF 14th march and printed it on the 35th day due to some of my documents that was being delayed which actually increased the the credibility of the account as said by a professional
15th June collection mail
17th collected my passport
You need to me searching for visa vignette stamp

Things I found out on this application
I sent paid email and my visa was approved same day I sent paid email 7th june even after doing biometric 27th April
Another thing that made me scared was in 2007 I was refused uk student visa(kindly note it was not on misinformation nor deception) but I totally forgot to include it in my application ,that got me so scared as someone here have said she was ban for 10yrs for not declaring previous denial but after asking someone they said ECO might just frown at it that's where God's favor comes
Truly I was favor
I left my POF from 14th march until 17th June when I picked my visa yesterday
Guys pls from my story I did my biometric 27th Apr and visa issue date is 7 June,so. Pls always try and leave funds no matter how long your application is taking
All way leads to Belfast soon,
I finally escaped this Naija hell fire especially lekki express traffic
All awaiting visas I pray for speed in Jesus Name
A big thank you to Dichess90 for the paid email link,it really helped


Never call your home country a hell fire because you will be back one Day.

Also he/she is an adult now(38 years old) and even if somehow his/her parents were British now they can’t sponsor him/her to the UK


I understand the rules,it is automatic Citizenship that was abolished,even when you are born in UK by illegal migrant or a visitor who exist after the child's birth,you can still go there and claim your citizenship once you clock 18.
Your Birth certificate is all that requires

Automatic Citizenship ends for those whose parents were not documented as of the time of birth,not those who whose parents are well documented.
Even those whose parents weren't properly documented will still have it.

1..If they were not taken out of UK for 70 months.

2...if taken out,upon clocking 18 they can still go back to claim their passport once there is BC in place

It was deliberately reduced to make the person appear to be 16 years old(and pass for a minor/dependent) when in actual fact they were 24 years old.
It was done to cheat the system then.
