No you don't have to. Just the bachelor's is enough as it's your highest qualification.

Hi all,

For the WES evaluation, does one need to include the secondary school as well? or just only the Bachelor's degree?

Lloydfather:
help me asked them what led to them using sticks and stones?
In fact they are foolish to have released this video. Shame on them that they are using live bullets on People with sticks and stones.

Op tell them I said in some African countries like. South Africa, Zimbabwe and Co not to mention europe, Asian and America. When civilians pick stone and sticks against the military, the military uses shield and baton, possibly tear gas to make arrest.

They should all go back to training they have failed. Wooooooooooooo.

The army is not in the best position to use shields and batons against agitating crowds anywhere in the world. It's not their core duty.

Unfortunately, we do not have riot police to handle such cases.

Contrary to my generic advice, the group appointment should have had a date for both of you. Group appointments override individual appointments.

Yes, bank statement of 31st August is perfect for any appointment in September and you don't need any other. Ideally you should be looking at having bank statements not older than a month.

Moreover are you saying your email and SMS confirmation of group booking did not come with a date info? While you were requesting for the group booking, were you ever prompted to choose a date and time?

The email confirmation of group booking was to send me a receipt saying successful payment. While requesting the group booking, I was never prompted to choose a date and time.

The process was:

- Create my account on TLS
- Add both of our applications to group
- Clicked on "Added Value Services"
- Clicked "group appointment" and added to cart for both of us
- Paid 30 pounds for both
- Got the email receipt I referred to earlier.

Nothing else has come since then.

I just painstakingly went through the website again, and from the wording of the attached image, I have to contact a staff or send an email to them to fix a group appointment.

Has anyone gone through this recently?

Hello Sir, did u ever read the email acknowledgement after you paid for your visa application? All you need is there. After payment you received an email confirming it, same with your wife. Check your wife's and confirm the date and time. Then locate yours and confirm the date and time. Then sign into your account and change your appointment date. Simples!!! You can't change application details but you can certainly change appointment date 24 hours before your original appointment/biometrics day. Make sure you change your appointment date and time to match your wife's since you are on a group appointment. This is not to get supporting documents messy. See an excerpt below...

Nonetheless did you receive any emails after paying for group appointment like you said you did?

Thank you sir. Yes we got an email confirming payment from UK VI and the TLS after paying for group appointment and SMS a receipt came via email but nothing else.

I will go ahead to update our appointment date and time to reflect same as you've advised.

It appears earliest date available is from the week of 18th sept.

Is a bank statement printed on the 31st of August still ok to be presented or we get a more recent one?

Thanks.

You apply separately but have group biometrics appointment at TLS...

Experienced guys in the house please help.

I have paid for a group appointment on TLS and linked our (wife and I) applications together.

The issue now is that my date of appointment on UKVI is different from what she chose...I did mine earlier and the same day as me was asking her to pay primetime so we just decided to choose the upper week for her as that didn't require payment.

Question: When is the actual appointment date and time? I can't seem to find any helpful information on TLS.

And why can't we take these as our way of speaking Nigerian English instead of trying to be like the British all the time.

Americans have American English with certain words and phrases the British would not use.

Why should ours be different ?

Hello All,

Please I need help.

I have filled an application on the website: https://visas-immigration.service.gov.uk

I intend travelling with my wife.

Do we apply seperately? or is there a way to add her to my application?

I selected the option that says if I'm travelling with anyone and provided her passport number. However, the visa amount of $121 I believe is just for a single 6-month visa.

Nigerians sha.

Its very likely that the suya and a sun company runs a business there and wants to beautify it to aid his business. We all know those parks sometimes are suya joints.


He approached the govt to transform the place, he is doing it with his cash so what's the big deal if he puts his name there.

We just don't think sha

Sensible comment.

As an immediate first step I suggest you get this vehicle scanned and post codes here.


Do this before making up your mind to sell for a smaller car and DO NOT swap the engine for an I4 please no matter what anyone tells you.

@op, first question is what distance in KM do you cover weekly. This will tell if your car actually consumes too much fuel or not.

Also, is your check engine light on?

Hi All,

Kindly advise.

Is it advisable to apply for a UK visa for my wife and I with her passport still bearing her maiden name?

We have kicked-off the process for change of name on her passport, however, I'm not getting any guarantees as to when the passport can be ready.

Do we just apply for the visa like that or keep waiting till the passport is out.

On a scratch of some part of the car, you can get a good car expert to do a repaint after carefully agreeing to the material and color to use. On the whole body of the car, i suggest you take it to the manufacturer. On a warranty, it shouldnt be costly
