Hello Mimi, in my case I have gotten my visa although yet to travel and want to apply for my spouse. When I applied, I used the schl address both for the visa application and TB test. Please what address will I use for my spouse?.

mimilyrics:
1. No you can use your school address for your application but you'd need a confirmed address (for your self-isolation) to fill in your passenger locator form prior to arriving in the UK.
2. It's okay as long as you've got enough funds in your account for all 3 of you.
3. Your son is also your wife's dependant so no harm in filling his details on her form even though the funds are in your account.

The power of prayer cannot be over emphasized. I equally made a mistake but realized too late. We encourage people to be very careful and truthful in their applications but if there is an unintentional mistake which cannot be corrected, just tell it to God in prayers.

LAYUSMEN:
I doubt there's a solution. Usually, if your wife is not the main applicant, there's high chance she won't be thoroughly scrutinised like you.

However, as to whether there's a solution, there's none except you'll cancel the application and file another.

This october, I made a mistake in my visa application. I contacted UKVI through email, unfortunately, I was told there's no solution to it. I was told my application would be treated based on what I submitted, but my mistakes won't be corrected, but if UKVI required more information, I would be contacted.

While I did not receive any call from UKVI, I got my visa 5 days after with my mistakes, a bogus one that could earn me a 10 years ban, treated as tiny.

It is always good to declare every visa refusal, but in cases where it was forgotten, what remains is prayer, application can't be changed.

Good luck to you.

So if my intention is to stay with a friend for the isolation period before securing an accomodation,
would that be acceptable?.

biggiyke:

Either is fine. A hotel or student accommodation is a better declaration than none, especially with regards to the 14 days isolation. UK wants to know where you will be the first 14 days of your arrival. It's that important that u can be denied entry if you fail to provide this detail.

Please help a friend!!!

Hello Gurus in the house, please I need a clarification with regards to making application for my spouse.
I decided to continue with the online lectures after receiving my visa and the school has given their go ahead. Is it alright to apply for my spouse(she will be sponsoring herself) while am yet to travel?

I want to say thank you to everyone on this platform who has been of help to me and all other applicants, may GOD bless and reward you abundantly.

The place of prayer in all of these cannot be over emphasized.

I want to encourage everyone that after you have done your best, leave the rest for GOD in the place of prayer.

It was not easy wait at all, but thank GOD it all ended in praise!!!


Edinburgh, here I come!!!

Congratulations, God indeed is faithful. I have been waiting since 26th August, I also called and emailed last week Tuesday 29th September but am yet to receive any feedback apart from the generic 15 working days of waiting for response.
The wait is quite frustrating but I know it will end in testimony soon.

kelvindot:
Victory at last!!!

I have been here reading quietly and learning from various discussions.

After been sent back to get another passport because the old one was defaced because it once fell inside water,
14th sept, Biometrics, paid for priority.
Didn’t receive any update from them and after like 10 working days I did the paid mail and call and all they told me was that my application was at DMC and would be decided and I should hold on till 15th day before contacting them again, even after paying for priority o.
On Oct 1st I got decision mail which was the first mail gotten from them, I was at TLS on Friday to fund out if it was there but wasn’t available.
Then I noticed my tracker moved to Transferred to VAC, so I knew the wait was coming to an end, I got to TLS yesterday 5th around past 12:00, they still said it wasn’t ready, so hung around and tracked again then I saw received by VAC, I immediately dashed inside and picked it up this time, and got my passport with visa in it, I can’t thank God enough because I have gone through alot in this life, the waiting time was pathetic, I learned how to fast for the first time in my life, it became more scary because I actually paid for priority and it didn’t come as expected and I saw people getting within 4 days. May God’s name be praised, I pray all expecting their own will also testify soon, especially @Lawrence6, I feel your pain bro.

Which of their numbers should be called.

folaranmi15:

I just got a call from British high commission, Telling me that a decision as been made on my passport on the 22nd and it was sent to the tls office that same day and I should go and pick it from them, please anyone having same issue should call British embassy telling them to escalate the issue, I think within 2 days solution will pop up.
Am going to tls ikeja tomorrow morning

I submitted on 17sept (priority)
Decision mail 22sept
and still at dmc till yesterday when I called to escalate my case.

Do not hesitate to call them, hope to come up wi to more news tomorrow

I did mine on 26th August, got the non straightforward email on 10th September, no other mail for 2nd interview, my schl resumed on 7th September and if by 25th September I don't complete matriculation, i may loose the offer. This wait is quite frustrating and am feeling sick already
..

inphoenix:


Don't be frustrated please, if UKVI sent a not straight forward mail, it means it'll take a few days longer than the 15 day target. Stay positive and take the time to start packing your dried fish, spices and co All will be well!

No other email and no call, I am worried.

natstryker:
they havent sent you a mail that they will call you? thats strange. i got a mail for the call a day after my deferred complex email.

Did you receive a non straightforward email?

yemology:
I did my biometric 26 of August at ikeja Lagos.
Nothing yet I tracked it and still showing stage 3 . please is there anyone experiencing this .

Also did mine on 26th at ikeja TLS, got a non straightforward email on 10th Sept and that was all till date. Did you receive a non straightforward email too?.

Beeyad:


Same with me, I’m the main applicant but my dependents already picked up their passport with Visa since last week. I don’t even know if we should go ahead and book flight or wait till I see my own. The wait is tiring

My own application too has reached 18 working days and only got a non straightforward email on the 10th working day. I was thinking of going to TLS(Ikeja) as soon as it hits the 20th working day for enquiries but since I can reach ukvi on mail, I suppose that option would be better. You may please share the paid email address here. Thanks

Sommylove5:

Visa approved
My timeline:
4 Tier Student visa – TLS Abuja
Application submitted online – 11th August
Biometrics & Interview - 19th August
Passport ready for collection - 9th September
Passport collected- 9th September
No non-straightforward email or 2nd interview.
I was so worried because I didn’t add all of my visa rejections. I only included one rejection per country. Overall I had about 8 rejections in the past from UK, France, Canada and USA respectively. This is my first UK visa. I was also rejected a UK tourist visa in January 2020.

This happened to me few weeks ago and I was rightly advised here.
All i did was to get a new passport and fresh appointment, go with both passports and make photocopies. They will collect the new passport and return the old one, they will make the neccessary correction themselves. All the best.

mamacajah:
Please guys.. I need your help again.
When my husband went for his biometrics last week, they rejected his passport because the photo was defaced and he had to do a new one.
Now he has the new one but no way to change his details..
what do we do to rectify this?
do we cancel our applications( after paying for IHS and Visa fee) or should he go with a cover letter for his new appointment?
Please @justwise, @mimilyrics and anyone with any advise or experience on this..it's urgent as his new interview date is next week monday..
Thanks

When was your 1st interview?

tanimofe:
I just got off the phone now - I just got a second interview today, i wasnt called before now, the call came in and asked if i was prepared i said yes.. And it was a 36min phone interview.. So house be prepared ooo if u are called , i was asked all the question in the whole world.

Good luck to us all.

Mine!!!... Congratulations to you..

Thanks to the brains behind this platform,... I was well guided here.

pwettyhardey:

Which sch r u going?




Mikeval001 My first appointment date was 24th of September,I was at the VI visa center last week Thursday for Walk in but he didn't work out then I was there again yesterday,it didn't also work out. At around past 11am at the VI center I tried amending my appointment and I got September 1st and at around past 2pm I tried amending again then I got 26th of August (today),the interview went well and this are all the questions:

* Why the course?
* Why the school?
* Why UK?
* Career plan?.

Hello guys, please I need help. I went for my interview at TLS Ikeja today but on getting there, I was told my passport is defaced because it has a little patch on my forehead which was probably caused by heat. Meanwhile, I already uploaded all my documents on their site over 3 weeks ago. I was asked to get another passport and appointment. I want to know if I will have to start the whole process all over again like requesting for a new CAS, then proceeding to make a fresh application and appointment etc after I have gotten a new passport?

mimilyrics:
What were your considerations for choosing your course? Did you choose it as a result of your previous work experience or because you want to switch careers? If you are returning to your employer, how does this benefit your employer? Will it result in a pay raise for you at work? How does it satisfy your professional goals? Of what benefit is the course to you? Benefit is in terms of professional development / achievement or financial compensation. Did you check other courses? If yes, why did you choose this course above the other ones? What short or long term goal does this fulfil?
The answers to the above questions will enable you make the reason for choosing your course sound more personalized.

Thanks....
