BRAINNY:
Hello duchess and all gurus, I need help. We had a visa refusal and were asked to apply for an administrative review. Here are the grounds for the refusal as shown on the screenshot. The truth remains that, the funds in the account were dissipated while waiting; a part went debited for Form A. while the others got debited after the expiration of the 30/31 days. Please, the way forward?

Did you check the oanda rates as at the day you submitted your application to see if your funds were enough?

I think the issue with FirstBank is that there bank statements do not have any contact information for the UKVI to even contact them. So I suggest that if you are going to use FirstBank, request that they issue you a reference letter which I believe that will have contact details for ECOs to be able to verify the POF. That’s what I intend to do.

My friend in the church will be applying for his visa monday next week (July 31st). Family of 6

His wife international passport is yet to come out but their POF will mature monday next week.

Can he go ahead with his application and that of their 4kids on Monday? Won't it be a red flag for the kids when their mother isn't applying with them?

His wife will be applying as soon as her international passport comes out. The immigration officer promised them the passport will be out at most mid this month but here they are.

What documents does he need to upload for their kids since his wife won't be applying with them on monday.

He needs advice cos we don't want refusal. POF is running. Monday next week will make it exactly 2months he has been holding his CAS.

Age of my kids are 2yrs, 5yrs, 7yrs, and 9yrs

@justwise @duchess90 @mimilyrics your advices will go a long way

Thank you

Thank you,, Duchess..More blessing

Please you mean My YES for RELY ON ME FOR FINANCIAL SUPPORT is okay right? and it won't delay or result to further questioning right ?

duchess90:
Hello

That looks okay

If they aren't travelling with you then it's a No, it doesn't stop them from joining you later

2. If you have people depending on you financially then that's fine too

Cheers

Hello

The ECO has access to the updated CAS and the correct figure

It should be fine



Cheers

Good evening everyone. Gurus in the house please I need your help,

I received my CAS yesterday and immediately went ahead to apply for my visa but my cas was reflecting £15,400 as fees (which I thought I had got a discount or scholarship as my school had previously mentioned something of sort).

I however, some minutes ago, got an updated CAS reflecting £16,300 as my fees. My POF is enough to cover the fees in the now amended CAS statement and I am yet to upload the necessary documents (meaning I can still upload the new CAS) but I’m a bit uneasy as I have previously filled £15,400 in my application form.

Please is this something to be worried about?
Because I do not want to be perceived as a liar by UKVI or should I be less worried?
with the assurance that my school must have sent UKVI the previous cas and sent them the amended one too as an error on their path because they did send me an apology mail.

Hello

Yes it is okay

Cheers

Hello

In summary and I am sure you are aware

Both parents should either be applying together or one should already have a visa/permit

The ECO will request for evidence to show that 1 the MA is the sole surviving parent or 2. Has sole parental responsibility given by the court or 3. Compelling reasons why the application should be granted in the absence of the second parent

Waiting for a passport is not a compelling reason

2. Passport renewal takes time even when assurances have been given


The children should apply same time with their mother

Also remember POF is for their use in the UK

Cheers

Thank you @duchess90 for always, please can you guide on the process of processing visa for dependents(kids) of a single mum that already got a visa.
2.Will she also have to travel to Nigeria to pick up the kids if they didn't travel with her or can a relative with a visit visa bring them for her. Thank you.

Thank you for your response.

In that case, can she apply with the POF in my account, while I write a letter of consent in that regard?

Hello.

Does anyone have an idea how long Visa reconsideration process take after a successful Administrative Review?

Any chances that Visa would be issued and before September classes begin?

Anyone with similar experience?

I was told they changed their email address actually. Before now their email was firstcontact@firstbanknigeria.com but I think the one they are using now is firstcontactcomplaints@firstbanknigeria.com. You can call them to confirm

Biometrics done in 24th at ikeja tls. I tracked my application now and it's showing transfered to VAC.. what does it mean?

Yes. It was in May, the rates hadn't gone gaga yet. Besides, the funds were more than required. The Home Office never mentioned that the funds weren't enough, from the screen shot I attached, they only mentioned that First Bank didn't respond when they tried to verify.

Portex:

First bank is quite a headache.

Is it super priority or standard ?

Cashmadam:


How much is your tuition fees?

If you inputed the wrong figure for whatever reason, I suggest you add a cover letter to explain the whole thing so that you don't appear to be deceptive.

Perharps, others can help.

It’s £16,300

Please what of unity bank? Does anyone know if unity bank gives UKVI prompt response?

Please help me out with clarification. Since during visa application, banks are contacted to confirm or verify the authenticity of the POF/SOA by visa officer. My bank statement for POF I generated from my phone app doesn't bear any bank email address or phone number of the bank on my bank statement of account which is from my GLOBUS Bank. Do visa offers have other official means of reaching or contacting banks when the need arises or for confirmation and verification without depending on email address or phone number on my SOA/POF? Because mine doesn't bear any email address or phone number.

Good morning everyone, pls is it important I upload my Passport data page on TLS upload section?... I did self upload & I didn't upload mine, is this a cause for alarm?? Cos my biometrics is on Monday..

Hello

I would strongly advise that you include your passport data page in the upload

Do so at your biometrics on Monday


Cheers

Hello

Your statement should either have the contact details or branch code

I would strongly advise you get a proper statement from your bank if those information are missing
