Hello

No, walk-in has to be on the day of your biometrics

2. Your POF is for your study, any other arrangements is deemed as deceit and if caught you and your spouse will be banned for 10years.

Be guided,we don't post and ask advise for such deceit here

Cheers

All right. Thanks much

Good morning

Please who has information about ethiopian airline flight to heartrow?

What is the airline position on COVID-19 negative test results?

Thanks

Don't stress yourself about that.

Wait and pray.

I'd suggest paid email but you've done two paid calls so that's enough enquiries but if you want to try again maybe do paid email.

VISA Alert

No NSF
No Interview
Abuja TLS, priority

Completed and submitted my visa application on the 12th of December
Paid for Flexi-Walk in and Did biometrics on the 13th of December the next day
Collection mail came on the 19th of December
DHL delivered to me on the 21st of December
My visa shows it was issued on the 18th of December!

Finished from Uni in 2018, so my study gap is not so long

I am self employed and I submitted CAC certificates and FIRS documents. Few days after my submission, I discovered that my business name was showing as inactive on the CAC portal even though I had duly paid my annual returns for the year. I immediately sent a letter explaining the situation via a paid mail and letting UKVI know the fault is from CAC and also attached proof showing that 3 active Nigerian banks are showing as inactive on the CAC portal too. I got my visa!

___

My elder brother who is also going for his masters had a successful application too. He works 9-5. He submitted his employment letter, pay-slips and promotion letter. The bank statement he uploaded as his proof of fund is different from his salary account, he got an NSF asking for further proof of employment and for him to send his bank statement showing his salaries being paid for the last 3 months. He sent that same day after receiving the mail. And he got his visa.

It’s all been God
I wish other intending applicants success

Very nice and straitforward guide. Tha k you so much

Hello

I will assume your son is a minor

Step 1: discuss with the boys mum on your intention and proceed to court to get your custody arrangements.They could grant you sole custody and the mum visiting rights if it is uncontested.

Step 2: Gather supporting documents 1. Court order 2. Sons birth certificate 3.Mums consent letter and ID(passport, driver's license,NIN or Voter's cars)
4. Evidence that you have been responsible for his upbringing (Hospital letter, school letters, receipts/invoices of fees or medical bills paid by you, any evidence of travels you have done together)
5. Pictures
6. Any other additional documents you can provided, the evidence are numerous

Step 3: Apply

Cheers

I just want to know if anyone did bio december 1st and yet to get any mail from ukvi ?

Hello

@the bolded, are you sure that was me?? Your job is your job regardless of how meager the salary is.

Anyway back to your question,the confirmation letter from HR should suffice, do you have an ID, please include it.

With the slashes it technically means OR as employment scenarios differ from company to company but it is always better to provide as many as you can.

Cheers

zanebaddo:
When you talk about including relevant work documents like employment, confirmation, promotion letters), I have a few concern. The company I work for does not give its employees any of these. its a private owned business with a poor management structure( the owner does what he likes). Like I said earlier my pay check is not encouraging and I read here sometime ago where you advised someone not to make use of an employment letter with a meagre salary as it puts one at a disadvantage.

The company pays its workers by transfers which is also a problem incase one is asked to provide payslips. I'm asking if one can get something like confirmation of employment from the HR that clearly states your job start date, job role, and maybe any other relevant information but excluding the salary amount. Do you think this can in anyway serve as what they need to make a decision?

I'm just being curious. Someone here said he was just asked to provide an employment letter after submitting reference letter which he did but the other was asked to provide a whole lot of documents, payslips /employment letters with contract details / bank statement with regular salary being deposited/ employment contracts. is he expected to provide all of these or just one of them? Does a slash in this case mean AND or OR?

I don't really know why some of the establishments in Nigeria don't give its workers employment letter.

oH thank you I appreciate

I am asking for a friend.
Please is anyone going to York St John( York campus) in January? Please let’s link up, I am in need of accommodation

Hello, house, I submitted my application early this week but I found out that the bank statement used started from the time I opened the account till the time I made the visa application which made it 4 months bank statement that was submitted. also, my maintenance funds has gotten below the required amount but I have paid more to the school's account to address the 100-pound shortage from the 9207 pounds am i good to go with all these?

Hello

With the statement that is absolutely fine, the minimum is 28days, if you submit more that's also okay

2. Please request for an updated CAS to show the additional payment you have made so it balances out.
Also include any receipts for that in your documents

Cheers

If it's 4 months back, the ukvi will count 28 days back from the last date of transaction on the account

As at when you submitted your application, on the date you submitted was your maintaince funds still complete?
Because I'm assuming it's exchange rate that made it come down?

"visa alert! Visa alert!! Visa alert!!!" Las las.. Lol

Hello everyone. If you want a quick summary of the documents submitted, just scroll down but if you want to read my story, well have fun you could learn a thing or two and if you don't sorry for wasting your time lol....
This whole journey started 2020 when I first applied to middlesex, shortly after my sister left to the same middlesex. We paid 1k deposit as at that time to get cas and she left but the main headache started when she was asked to pay 50% within the first month of resumption. Wasn't easy as we had to sell few things and hustle just to meet up (she ended up being de-registered tho, but they later registered her back after payment was made.. You can imagine the fear and tension of home office calling and being told to leave the country). So we conquered that but my admission got bleeped up cos in 2021 new policies came out that affected those that studied in Benin Republic where they now suddenly didn't regard their 3-year study as BSc worthy anymore so my middlesex withdrew my admission then and i reapplied but they now said they will accept me on the condition that I do top up of 2 years! (not a year,) omo na there i give up for middlesex matter o.
I now started my own research in 2021 I can give you 10 schools with 1k-2k deposit and resumption dates (as per wetin i fit afford as at then but now those same schools don increase for 2022).
I applied to Coventry, Hertfordshire, Kingston, Ravensbourne, Lincoln etc.. Some I got admission but deposit was scary and some I got but not enough time to pay.. Towards the end of 2021 i settled for Bedfordshire and was ready to pay their 50% which was around £6k then until suddenly their agent contacted me and told me that their deposit is now 60% no longer 50%, omo e weak me o and at that time I don fill form A already, submitted already, waiting for it to be paid to the school. Omo na so we cumut the money o use am for something else.. Until this year when I found Queen Margaret University(the school really came through for me no cap!) at first I didn't take them serious as I would ignore their emails and sometimes provide the additional documents they request for and other times I'd just ignore and after reminder emails I'll finally send the actual document they requested for. Later this year when I saw that my initial plan to go with a dependant didn't work out (the girl go fall in love we con break up forget dependant deal �.. She dey uk now sha lol) so I decided to pick up my Mantle and take QMU seriously and I uploaded everything required for September 2022 intake.. I paid my 2k deposit around August but i couldn't meet up with bank statement and their cas deadline so I had to be deferred till January(lucky for me cos most schools na September, October entry while some na Jan, Feb, March, may)
Now after being deferred till January. I did my pof, i emailed them asking if they could accept my 2 weeks statement dem say no.. So after 28 days.. Getting cas now became a problem because like I said I studied in Benin Republic and the policies started coming up again. I was told to take my certificate back to the Ministry of Education in Benin Republic to show that as at the time when I graduated the school I graduated from was accredited(PS my 31 days printed statement validity don dey enter 25 days) omo I started making enquiries about how to get that done and i got to know that I'll pay a total of 150k naira to get done and it takes a week plus to get it done in Benin Republic. I still dey battle this one then the later that evening one person from the admission team took my matter personally and said she will speak with her Line manager to see how they can help me boycott that for now and omo that was exactly what happened and although it ended up with me being interviewed but it was literally the best ever!. So I got my CAS on the 27th day in the 31 days... On the 28th day.. Applied and Paid for prime time and had my biometrics done on the 30th day (all within the 31 days! Of the printed statement expiring)
It was tough, frustrating, scary but I'm genuinely grateful.. Exchange rate fluctuations wan dey fear me but on the day I submitted the rate was good so that helped. But it fell below shortly after I applied (overthinking for bury me remain small)
So that's my story.. Thank you for reading stranger�

Thank you to EVERYONE here, na una tips, experiences, advices save me, overthinking wan kill me(but on one side it helped me be on the edge tho as I was double checking for errors and ensured everything was perfect)
Genuinely  Thank you!!

So documents I submitted.
-Certificate (in French and English)
-Transcript
-Neco certificate (notarized because my certificate says olusola and I'm oluwasola, so had to submit a notarized affidavit to avoid questions and NSF)
-CV
-Old international passport (expired but it has my travel history)
-Tb
-Admission letter
-CAS letter
--i graduated 2015, my cv was detailed tho so I guess that helped me luckily in explaining study gaps, also my pof was a  $ dom account

_Biometrics - 2nd December (standard)
_Sent paid email - 18th December
_Brp - dropped 19th December (PS after brp email dropped na That time dem con dey reply my email say dem don decide so in a way if I had waited and not sent the paid email I would probably have gotten the brp email)
_Collection email - 20th December
_DHL came thru - 21st December(i was supposed to wait for them to deliver but anxiety didn't let me wait na so i go meet them for their office and guess what. They successfully linked me up with the guy that was meant to deliver my area and after i called the guy he was literally at my junction lmao!)


I declared my Canada study visa refusal

Once again.. Una thank u o �

Tips. If you overthinking the situation, use it to your advantage to double check to avoid how to send letters later because you forgot to upload something before
. Research alot
. Pray
. If you've been refused before, declare it!
. Ask questions(if you want to keep your japa private ask strangers online or read stranger's experiences)
. Read people's experiences, you'll learn from them and make informed decisions.
. All in all note that this is just a phase after you get the visa the next phase is life there lol.. So be equipped.. Research too and know how you're gonna live your life there. Hopefully you got plans for there or you'll start planning for there.. Starting from accommodation to jobs i know you would wanna wait till you get your visa before you start this but just every once in a while check accommodations, check jobs, check prices of cars lol (i did the car part one time lol) it just helps to take minds of the japa process and just help you picture your life there basically.

I wish everyone Goodluck �


Seriously to everyone here.. Thank you!!!

I did mine December 2nd and I've got my visa already.. Standard

Boss0003680501:

@justwise @Gloriyah @dduchess90

Please come to my rescue

Please can i send you an email so i can get more information regarding the school since you have gone far with the process. Like how you made payment because their bank details are not on their website ������ it would mean alot. This is my email wanderlust861124@gmail.com

Justpat:


They don't have a whatsapp or telegram group. However their process is very straightforward. Meet your admission condition and you get the Unconditional offer . Then pay your deposit and they will give you a draft CAS to respond to
