I saw a refusal post and though it wasn't connected to finance, it reminded me of an argument a few weeks ago on the rate used by ECO.

''• Rate of exchange £1 = [987.73 NGN] (reference www.oanda.com on [07/07/2023]"

If you check the rate on said date, you will find out that it's the NGN-GBP rate and not the other way round despite the ECO saying £1 to naira.

This is especially important if the difference between both exchange methods is large.

I doubt there's biometric process available 23years ago

Izzyagain:



We are very confused too, she does not know or remember they took her for uk biometrics when she was 6years old. Her mum just told her .

So sorry. Do you want to share the reason for the refusal?

Firstly, I'll like to thank God and also thank my Nairaland family, BRP mail dropped this morning after empty NSF, paid calls, paid Mail and virtual interview. I want to thank everyone especially Duchess 08, Ebimone, Olaniyan and everyone that reached out to encourage me.

Biometrics was 2nd of June. I use myself as a point of contact to everyone waiting, your visa will come speedily in Jesus Mighty name.

Basically what's present in a genuine intention form I guess

Please how long did it take you to get a decision? I submitted my application on 17 May, did my BM on 19 May, received NSF ON 23 May, received a request for additional documents explaining the study gap on 24 May. I sent a study gap letter on the 29th and was asked to attend an interview on the 2nd of June. Did my interview and 5 weeks later, still awaiting a decision. I have done 4 paid mails, 2 escalations and still waiting. This is the 8th week !

Thank you once again duchess.

Thanks a lot for your response!

Please I have more questions:

1. Please after adding the school's address to where MA will be staying in the UK, this question was asked. (Image attached)

Accommodation isn't yet secured. Should "No" be selected?

2. For the second image for people financially dependent on you, what should the MA select as his maintenance fee is in the dependant's account?

Thank you so much.

It's well God is in control, the decision came few days after the virtual interview.

Hello Nairaland fam!

For the people who picked St. Nicholas for their TB test.

My test is slated for 3pm during the week.
I want to ask, should I go there exactly around 3pm or I should go earlier than that? Maybe in the morning?

If I go earlier than my test time, will I be able to take the test?

Please what is your advice.

Thanks in anticipation 🙏

Tips:
For TB test, I had issues registering on their portal and making payment. If you encounter issues, just send them an email stating your passport details, where to and date you want. If you don’t get a reply within 3 working days, please go there and see the customer service showing them your email, they’ll fix you a time.



If you made a not so serious and non personal mistake when filling your visa application form, and you noticed after you have paid for ihs and visa fee, but before your biometrics, instead of canceling the application and restarting, which takes 4-6weeks to refund your money, you can write a cover letter and cross the mistake out on your application print out , then upload it as part of your documents submitted.


On getting dollars to pay for most £ or $ payment(ihs, visa fee, etc) I used a Wise account, to escape various local bank charges, stories and troubles I’ve experienced earlier , also stress of looking for Aboki to change naira, you can follow my link if you want to create one and get a bonus https://wise.com/invite/iw/ayooluwao8

How I funded it: Exchanged my USDT for USD directly to my wise account.

Declared one US visa denial in 2017

Thanks to everyone that has contributed @duchess90 @mimilyrics et all, the information gotten from here has been immense and invaluable.

I got banned for a year sometimes around June due to an information about the UKVI exchange rate, gotten from their website I innocently posted to help. Thank you @justwise for a good job to ban unsolicited or incorrect information, and thanks for reconsidering my appeal and unbanning me, my apologies once again and I’ve retraced my steps.

Good luck to everyone still expecting theirs, see y’all in the UK, cheers!

Is this normal? I have never applied for a UK visa, only US Visa. I assumed after the interview, they give a decision immediately. @Serendipity01

Hello, please how can I pay for ihs and visa fees from Nigeria? I have a pounds account but I don't think I can implement such a huge transaction from there.

Congratulations!

I am about to create a wise account with your link. Please how were you able to make a card payment with wise? I heard they dont support Nigeria.

Thanks

They don’t do direct naira to dollar for now, buy USDT and sell to get USD into your wise account, then you’ll create a virtual USD debit card. I don’t know if you get it. If you don’t you can ask for further instructions or DM me

Good evening house can I use student transcript for visa application

If a University had denied you CAS. Are you allowed to reapply again to the same University? Is there a way for them to know that you had applied before?

Yes you can

Goodevening all,

Plesse for those that are business owners and you've applied and gotten visa, please what are the documents you submitted.

Also, how can a business owner make his application straightforward without complications

Please I need it as a guide to finalize my document review

To all gurus in the house your opinion is well appreciated too

Any clear feedback on this question would be appreciated. Also, please do we need to submit Tax Clearance Certificate? What if the business is not within the tax payment band?


Thank you 🙏

Hello Nairaland family,


Please, do we need to proof home ties for UK student visa?


It just dawned on me that there is no much noise about proofing home-ties in the UK student visa application communities.


Unlike countries like Canada and Australia where it’s a must and you have to even write a strong SOP.


Kindly advise

Hello

Regarding accommodation select No

2. The question on finance has nothing to do with maintenance funds,it is a generic question to know if anyone depends on you financially.. select appropriately


Cheers
