Good morning @dduchess .. please if I buy dollars to my dollar account, I can possibly withdraw pounds with the card right ?

Hello

You mean a court wedding was done in the absence of the wife?? Both parties should be there to make it valid, if not that isn't a valid marriage

You can invite your boyfriend using a visit visa and provide evidence to show the relationship is substantial, plus his home ties and financial circumstances will also be considered by the ECO

Check the general visa page to get an idea of what people have submitted for visit visa

Cheers

Hello

Your bank should be able to print your statement for you offline

2.Your question is unclear, do you mean transfering your POF from your Zenith to Access bank?? If you do so you have to wait for another 28days minimum to print that and yes please keep the evidence of that transfer from one account to another incase it is requested for


Cheers

Good morning @dduchess, @mimilyrics and other great gurus.

My school is demanding the mandatory 28 days count bank statement before they issue me CAS.

I have been unable to print my Zenith Bank Statement. I tried both online and offline but it wasn't going.

Please, advise me. Would it be considered as a LUMP sum if my sponsor transfers all the money to my own ACCESS BANK ACCOUNT as I print it and send to the school after 28 days?

Thank you in anticipation!

Good afternoon all,

I type this with tears and sadness in my heart. My first child I had outside wedlock just got this NSF. I’m already in the UK and she’s applying with her stepfather and siblings. I uploaded consent letter from her biological father and my husband did an ffidavit. I didn’t do legal guardianship before leaving and the process takes months before it’s ready.

The UK Decision Making Centre is currently assessing the application submitted by the above named. We are unable to conclude the application at this time as we require additional information.

Please provide the following documents:

Paragraph ST 34.2 States - Child applicant’s parents must each be either applying at the same time as the applicant or have permission to be in the UK (other than as a visitor) unless the parent with permission as a Student is the sole surviving parent or has Sole Responsibility for the child’s upbringing
• Please provide Details of your parents Visa application to travel with you to the UK or proof in the form of an official court document to evidence that the parent that you are travelling with has Sole Legal Responsibility, however this must not be only in the form of an affidavit.

Please send this document as a scanned attachment within 10 working days to: Sheffieldstudentteam.docrequestsInternal@fco.gov.uk quoting your application reference in the subject line. Please attach the document directly to the email as we are unable to access links to files hosted on sites such as Dropbox™ or Google Drive™. Please also include a translation of the document provided if it is not in English or Welsh.
Please see below link for more information regarding this requirement.

Please help me. She’s the only that got the NSF mail. I don’t want her to be left alone in Nigeria. Esaanu mi

Please I need a clarification, I did my wedding is a Catholic Church and obtain a marriage certificate from the church. Is this sufficient as evidence for marriage (in respect of marriage certificate) for my spouse dependent
visa application?

Hello

I can imagine how you must feel

Unfortunately,you need to get the court order declaring you sole responsible parent. her father's consent and ID is only additional

A good lawyer should be able to get this sorted without your need to be there and shouldn't take long since her father already consented. whilst that's going on , prepare a secondary arrangement for her to be with a trusted member of the family

Once you have your court order, let us know we can help list out documents and a solid cover letter for her visa application

Be strong

Cheers

Hello

Yes it is

Ensure to include more evidence to show your marriage is substantial not just the certificate and pictures

What is the update on form A. Has Ecobank started debiting for march?

Thank you for your prompt response duchess90.

I'll work on the court order but I thought it's her stepfather who's bringing her that should claim/do the sole responsibility?

Also what if I upload my bro and visa page and ticket to show that I'll be coming to Nigeria to take her to the UK?

Cheers

Thank you dduchess. So I don't have to wait about a month after my wedding before I apply for Visa for both of us like someone told me. Does that mean I can apply for the Visa with my dependant like 2 weeks after the wedding?

Question 2:
Documents I planned on submitting are: Marriage certificate
Pictures (outing, wedding, introduction)
Parents consent
Screenshots of some of our chats last year August plus call log
Joint bank account statement opened this month.

Are these documents enough to prove relationship?

duchess90:
Hello

Walk-in is an added service on TLS which you pay for and then you can walk in at anytime on the day of your appointment NOT before. It is useful for families/dependants that have different biometric dates and want to do their biometric together on someone's date.

2. You can apply after your court wedding,the onus is to provide enough evidence to show your marriage/relationship is substantial (please include more than marriage certificate and pictures)and provide evidence that span different months/years


Cheers

Hello

Step fathers don't always have legal parental responsibility unless declared by the court or adopted/consented/applied for through the court. It's easier for you the mom.

You have only been away for a short time so it's fine. The cover letter will address this and other care arrangements you placed via her step father when you were away


2. BRP and visa page won't have any effect unfortunately since her biological father doesn't have one.

The point is in making sure there is no parent -child abduction and UKVI relies on legal documents to ensure that is the case. Previously there have been consent letters given that didn't come from the said parent. UKVI won't risk that anymore

When it's time to travel you can explore minors travelling alone if you don't want to return home to get her

Get the court order, so it's sorted once

Cheers

Please how much is IOM TB test in Naira for an adult?

Thank you very much.

However, bills like what please? And I thought paying bills using the joint account is more like paying bills together and I am planning to include joint account statement.

Can I start the investment now or it's too late?

Apart from that, any other evidence I can possibly include?

Thank you in advance

Thanks for this,but how can I link my Gmail to my bvn?Am not sure my bvn is linked to my mail.

Quick one. Does anyone know how to pay tuition fee deposit through Flywire?

The student just got a conditional offer and does not have a student profile yet.

Many thanks!

I am trying to register for PCC online on Possap website (police) for the past 7 days now and it's showing me error. Who else is experiencing this and how else do I do it?

Thank you again, duchess90!

The lawyer I contacted said getting a court order will take a minimum of 3-4 weeks. And I’m expected to reply within 10 working days (2 weeks).

Is it possible to upload the court documents that shows the initiation of the court process while requesting for an extension as well?

Thank you!

Cheers

Hi my cousin got his admission with his student copy transcript but now has his official copy transcript. The issue now is that he has gotten his cas and he doesn't know if he should include both student copy transcript and official copy transcript when doing his visa application. Kindly advise as I'm not sure how to advise him, thanks.
